Michaelâs eyes widened when he saw the bead fragment.

âThatâs it. Can you give it to me?â
âNo, why should I trust you?â
âLet me make it clear. Iâm not a bad person.â
âProve it.â
âIf I was a bad person then I wouldnât have killed the monsters here. Isnât that right? Thatâs why Iâm asking you to teach me.â
âHmm...â
Park Muyeol touched his beard. In fact, he knew it. It was clear that this person in front of him was currently a friend. However, he didnât know when peopleâs minds would change. He didnât know what would happen after he handed over the bead fragment. There was also another reason why he hesitated.
âWhy is he collecting this?â
He heard Chuntaek say that this thing contained evil power. If something went wrong, a person could get overwhelmed by the power of the bead fragment and run wild. Of course, in order to touch it completely, the person must have eaten a Star Fruit or have a constellation protecting them. It meant this person in front of him was an ability user...
Park Muyeol asked, âAre you an ability user?â
âHow do you know that?â
âI know a lot of things.â
âYou are worthy of being the Sword Sage.â
âSo what is a Sword Sage.â
âAre you still pretending you donât know?â
âAish, really...â
Park Muyeol wanted to spit out curses, but he shut his mouth. It was because he still didnât know this personâs face and couldnât curse at a stranger. Additionally, this person followed him well.
âI have to use this guy.â
Park Muyeol smiled. âI canât give this to you right now.â
âThen when can you give it?â
âI am looking for something, just like you.â
â...Okay. Are you asking me to find it?â
âYes.â
âWhat is it?â

âA Star Fruit.â
â......!â
Michaelâs eyes shook. Park Muyeol couldnât see this personâs face, but he could guess that this person was quite surprised. Michael spoke in a serious voice, âThat is something that only immortal humans like me can eat. An NPC like you will die if you eat it.â
Park Muyeol was startled.
âThis guy thinks Iâm an NPC?â
He presumably guessed that Park Muyeol was a pretty strong NPC. It was why Michael was asking him for lessons despite being at a higher level. Park Muyeol felt mischievous and nodded casually. âIâll take care of it myself and you can help me.â
âIt seems you have a method.â
âYes, it doesnât matter if Iâm a Sword Sage or something else.â
âI see. I understand.â
Michael nodded like he understood it well. Park Muyeol stood up while forcibly holding back the laughter that wanted to burst out. It was to look around and see if there were any monsters coming. He spoke while observing, âPerhaps what you are looking for is being guarded by a dragon called Ladon.â
âDragon?â
âYes, it is guarding the golden apple tree. Perhaps the Star Fruit is there.â
âI see. I think I can help.â
âWhat can you do?â
Michael explained, âI might look like this, but I am versatile.â
Michael gathered his sand to create some type of shape. It was an eyeball made of sand. It was one of Antaresâ constellation skills, âSand Eye.â Unfortunately, it looked different in Park Muyeolâs eyes. It was due to the damn unknown power that distorted Michaelâs ability. The thing Park Muyeol was seeing right now was an evil spirit pulling out its eyeball.
âDisgusting guy.â
Park Muyeol questioned if Michael was really a Star Fruit talent.
âIt wonât take long.â
Then Michael created hundreds of sandy eyes and scattered them all over the place. Of course, Park Muyeol saw evil spirits scattering everywhere.
10 minutes passed...
âIâve found it.â
â......!â

I shook off Edwardâs persistent obsession while trying on the suit he prepared for me. I looked in the mirror and felt better after a long time. After all, wearing new clothes was always refreshing.
âDo you like this?â
âYes, Iâll take it.â
âI understand.â
I took off the suit again and handed it to Edwardâs exclusive designer. Then a man disappeared into the sewing room. It reminded me of Drain. I was told that he couldnât connect recently because he had been feeling unwell. Then he had appeared in Metheus some time ago and left abruptly, stating he was going to the Orca Kingdom.
This was probably around a month ago. I didnât know how he was doing. I thought it would be a good idea to contact him on the way to the Orca Kingdom.
I left the dressing room and saw Edward lying in a sulky manner on the sofa with puffed up cheeks. He wasnât a child.
âAh, right, he is a child.â
âWhat did you say? Jackson?â
â...Nothing. By the way, where is that guy?â
âThat guy?â
I started looking around for someone. However, the person who should be here didnât show up. âIâm talking about Kerenos. It should be time for him to appear. If he is an adult then he should come and greet me. Where is he?â
Edward snorted and rubbed his nose at my words. He said, âAhem,â and deliberately raised his shoulders as high as possible.
I wondered, âWhat are you doing?â
âIsnât it obvious? Iâm giving you an explanation.â
Then Edward started to tell a long story. The main content was that there was a magic portal that went to the vicinity of the Orca Kingdom and it was only available to those with at least the status of a lord. As a result, the Sylphid Knights and Kerenos couldnât use it. They had departed a few days ago.
I frowned slightly when I heard the words. âThen this means I canât use it? That magic portal.â
âNo. I can take one person with me using the authority of a lord, even if they arenât a noble.â
âHmm. Itâs convenient.â I touched my beard and listened with interest.
âHowever, weâre going to the vicinity of the kingdom, not the kingdom. Kerenos probably rented a carriage there. We have to ride it another long way.â
âJust make a portal to the kingdom. Why do such a cumbersome thing? Tsk.â
I shook my head and clicked my tongue. Then Edward shook his head. âIt is because nobles can commit betrayals. What if a traitor noble used the portal to and from the kingdom to steal important secrets?â
It sounded correct. I nodded at the words. âI understand.â
âFool.â
âIâm not a fool.â

âA fool should be a knight. So why donât you become my knight?â
âI donât want to.â I covered both ears with my hands like I didnât want to listen.
âAhhhhh~â
âBecome my knight! Knigh.t. Stu.pid! Idi.ot Jack.son!â
âAhhh~ No~â
Then the designer who just finished the modification came out. He stood there in an absent-minded manner at the unexpected sight and I naturally wore the suit.
âIâm going.â
âBecome my knight!â
âI donât want to!â
How many times did I have to say it?

At the temple of clouds in Hesperides... The three siblings, Aegle, Erytheia, and Arethusa, were gathered to watch the scene unfolding in the crystal ball.
âA new human has entered.â
âHe is strong.â
â...The monsters canât resist.â
They might be born on the same day, but the mature Arethusa played the role of the eldest. Currently, she was troubled. She and her siblings were here to protect the golden apple tree in their fatherâs name. To that end, their father passed on the power of the clouds to them and they each had different cloud abilities. Aegle protected this place using the âprotection cloudsâ while Erytheia controlled the monsters with the âdeception clouds.â
Then Arethusa...
âSister, I think you should come forward.â
âYes, it will be easily solved once she acts. She is the strongest out of all of us.â
Arethusa sighed as she heard the words. Then she headed to a place in a corner of the temple. She opened the door and could see various clouds in her vision. They were weapons and armors made of various clouds. The walls there were made entirely of clouds. Arethusa recalled the name of this place that she hadnât been to for a long time.
âClouds Workshop.â
She was the most courageous and dexterous of the three siblings and she was given the clouds workshop by her father. Here, Arethusa learned to make a variety of weapons and armor made of clouds. She gained a strong power based on it.
Arethusa grabbed a cloud sword and whip hanging from the wall. At the same time, she had a thought. She wanted to resolve it as peacefully as possible. However, if a conversation didnât work...
âI will punish you in the name of my father.â

Park Muyeol quickly ran to the place Michael was guiding him to. However, the number of monsters increased along the way. They kept killing and decreasing the numbers, but it was hard to break through. In the end, they were surrounded.
âThere are too many, Teacher.â
âWho is the teacher?â
âArenât I your disciple?â
âSince when?!â
Park Muyeol was very flustered that a disciple had appeared without him knowing it. Michael grumbled like he regretted it, âJust pretend that you donât know.â
âDonât you think it is too much to pretend that I donât know?â
âWe will talk after dealing with these guys.â
âI agree, you rotten guy.â
The two people once again raised their power. Michael grabbed the Scorpion Swords that resembled the tail of a scorpion in each hand. Then he fought as hard as he could. Park Muyeol just swung his sword sheath at a rapid pace because he had Stick's Protection. From time to time, he also released Power Wave to split the group of monsters into two. Herculesâ power was combined with Park Muyeolâs swordsmanship and they seemed to split the world in half.
Michael smiled at the sight. âHe is a Sword Sage. He is just pretending not to be one.â
Michael nodded once again at his teacherâs strength. He had already vowed in his heart and mind to worship Park Muyeol as his teacher. Of course, Park Muyeol didnât know this.
âAish. Annoying bastards. Just die!â
Park Muyeolâs sword sheath swung in all directions and spread a huge wave of attributeless sword energy everywhere. The monsters were unable to cope with the devastating power and collapsed. Park Muyeol watched the monsters being cut and casually ate a fruit from a nearby tree. This was a fruit that could restore magic power.
[The apple-flavored cloud filled with condensed magic power has been consumed.]
[Your magic power will be greatly restored.]
In an instant, his exhausted magic power was filled up and Park Muyeol chewed on the fruit with a satisfied expression. Michael was proud to see such a Park Muyeol.
âAs expected, Teacher is amazing...â
Just then, someoneâs voice was heard.
âIt is up to here.â
â......!â
â......!â
Park Muyeol and Michaelâs gazes shifted to the sky at the same time.
A magnificent woman dressed in clouds was standing there.
