At This Point, Let's Just Go to Class (5.0K)

"Teacher Yotsuba Clan, what's wrong? Even though the commercial streets of the capital are bustling, you still need to be careful not to get distracted, or you can easily get lost."

Seeing him lost in thought, Jeno kindly reminded him.

"Thanks."

Mahiro smiled and followed in the other person's footsteps without caring at all.

His dormitory was on the third floor of the teachers' dormitory, and he was the only resident on the entire floor.

It's a bit quiet, but it's nice; he likes this peaceful environment.

However, as soon as he stepped into the room and closed the door, he discovered that the French windows of the balcony had been opened at some point, and a gentle breeze was blowing in, lifting the curtains. There stood a girl dressed in JK uniform.

Amidst the swaying strands of hair blown by the wind, a pair of pointed elf ears could be vaguely seen.

The light and thin uniform clung perfectly to her slender and alluring body, like an extension of her snow-white, jade-like skin, outlining a stunning beauty along with her exquisite figure.

Although some of her youthful innocence has not yet faded, it still highlights a dreamlike beauty that is breathtakingly stunning.

"I didn't expect you to be so quick, Alpha. I just arrived at the academy to register today, and you followed me here right after."

Mahiro smiled, casually loosened his tie, took off his coat, and tossed it onto the chair.

Wearing only a thin shirt, he slammed his body onto the soft bed.

"Want some? These are cookies I brought you, Beta."

Alpha handed over an elegantly wrapped bag, thoughtfully tied with a bow, and the enticing aroma of cookies wafted through the bag.

"Just leave it there for now."

Mahiro pointed to the table over there.

Speaking of the Shadow Garden, the two people who are closest to each other are probably Alpha and Beta.

The two women were old acquaintances who had both suffered the same fate in the Elf Kingdom, leaving them stranded far from home.

However, Beta was captured by the cult and then rescued by Alpha.

When Beta first joined, he always followed closely behind Alpha. Even during the initial purge of the cult, Beta initially appeared quite disheveled.

I was so scared that I trembled and couldn't help but vomit.

Even at night, I have difficulty falling asleep and am often awakened by nightmares.

As a result, Mahiro developed the habit of telling her bedtime stories, Beta also enjoyed.

I can sleep soundly every time, and I haven't had any nightmares since...

What are you thinking about?

Alpha's gentle call brought him back to his senses. He saw Alpha sitting on the edge of his bed with her legs crossed, one hand propped up next to his head, the other hand gently tucking her long, flowing golden hair behind her ear.

His figure was reflected in those long, slender, and beautiful deep blue eyes.

Her fair and pretty face has become even more captivating with the passage of time.

"It's nothing, I just missed you a little since we haven't seen each other for a while."

Mahiro smiled slightly, stretched out his arms and put them around Alpha's neck. Alpha understood and closed his eyes, his body sinking slightly downwards.

Their lips met.

The forest-like freshness and slightly cool touch make it very pleasant.

After a long while, their lips parted.

Seeing the alluring blush appearing on Alpha's delicate face, Mahiro couldn't help but smile slightly:

"Yes, it feels familiar."

"..."

Alpha simply rolled his eyes at him and got off him.

"By the way, didn't Delta come with you?"

"No, Delta's actions were too rash and would easily attract attention, so I didn't bring her along. I sent her to clean up the other cult's strongholds."

"You're really something! I bet only you can make Delta obey."

Upon hearing his praise, Alpha tilted his head slightly and gave him a subtle "What are you talking about?" smile.

Seeing that he didn't say anything more, Alpha got up and walked to the chair to pick up the coat and tie he had left behind.

After tidying them up, I hung them on the clothes rack.

Her movements were skillful and natural, just like a virtuous and gentle young wife.

As for why Delta listens to Alpha so much?

It was only because after Mahiro found Delta and healed her that Delta, who had the law of the jungle ingrained in her bones, set her sights on Delta 'Alpha top position.

So, following the orcish custom, they challenged Alpha.

"Hey, blondie! From today onwards Delta is the second strongest in this race!"

"Show Delta your belly as a sign of obedience!"

And so, Alpha, with a smile that seemed to say, "What is this child saying?", unleashed a terrifying magic.

Delta obediently exposed her belly on the spot.

From then on, Delta was terrified of Alpha. She dared not disobey Delta no matter what Alpha said, unless she received a direct order from the Mahiro.

It perfectly illustrates the process of a wild wolf being domesticated into a well-behaved dog.

"Mahiro, we're planning to set up a base in the capital. What do you think?"

Alpha suddenly spoke up and asked.

After tidying up his clothes, she knelt down and neatly arranged his shoes before sitting back down on the bed.

She gently lifted his head and placed it on her soft thighs, her hands lightly pressing and kneading his temples.

"Hmm, isn't this good?"

While enjoying the massage, Mahiro gently inhaled Alpha's faint scent and responded.

"Gamma said she wanted to conduct business activities in the capital, establish a merchant guild as a base, and also earn the funds needed for the operation."

"Emmm, so you're short on money? How much more do you need to Zeni?"

Zeni is the currency used in this world, and the exchange rate is roughly one gold coin equal to one hundred thousand Zeni.

"No, there's still a lot of the money you gave me last time. I just wanted to ask for your opinion."

"Oh..."

After Mahiro said, "Actually, Alpha, you don't need to ask me about these things. I've said before that I won't interfere with any of your actions. You just need to do what you think is right."

Most importantly, he has taught everything he should and could teach.

If you were to ask him to offer advice or suggestions, he simply wouldn't be able to do it.

Gamma's business acumen is exceptional; she can fully understand things after just one explanation, and Gamma even controls the funding for the Shadow Garden's operations.

Perhaps her talents are even greater than Miori Shiba's.

"Okay, I understand."

Alpha nodded slightly, then continued:

"What about the Snow Woman? Does she need our support?"

"Snow Woman -onna... if we have enough manpower, we can lend a hand, but not too much. Although Snow Woman's talent is not as good as Gamma's Gamma, her methods are much more powerful, so there's no need to worry."

Just before Claire was kidnapped, the Snow Woman left.

He traveled alone to the Lawless City.

This was not an order given by Mahiro, but rather a request made by the Snow Woman- onna herself.

It was all because I overheard him say that he was interested in the Red Tower of the Lawless City.

Therefore, she planned to establish a force in the Lawless City, to help Mahiro gather information about the Red Tower, and also to find the whereabouts of Yue Dan.

Seeing Alpha's Shadow Garden becoming increasingly successful, she was probably getting a little anxious.

After all, she was the first one to follow him closely. Did he think he'd lose to Alpha if he didn't achieve something?

"It's getting late, I should go."

"Are you leaving so soon? I thought you'd stay with me."

Seeing that Alpha was about to leave, Mahiro teased her slightly.

"Next time, I need to go back and inform everyone to prepare to move the stronghold to the capital."

Alpha, who had already opened the French windows and was standing on the balcony, had one foot on the balcony railing, and her small hips swayed a few times.

"Oh, and remember to eat the cookies Beta gave you, or the child will be sad."

Before leaving, Alpha gave him a playful reminder.

Then, her figure disappeared into the dim, setting sun.

Looking at the empty windowsill, Mahiro couldn't help but smile. He casually picked up the bag on the table, opened the packaging, took out a cookie, and quietly ate it.

"Alpha feels like a mother to me..."

This mother was not his mother, but the mother of the Shadow Garden.

From the day she handed over the Shadow Garden to Alpha, she not only absorbed knowledge and learned from him.

And they have been working hard to build everything in the Shadow Garden.

She showed care for every member who joined, just like a young and inexperienced mother trying her best to take care of everyone.

"This feeling is wonderful..."

Chapter 192 Since things have come to this, let's start class (5.0K)

Midgar Magic Swordsman Academy.

Located within the capital city of Midgar, it is the most prestigious magic swordsman academy on the continent.

Besides the local swordsmen, many promising swordsmen from abroad also come here to study.

So here you might see a princess from a neighboring country walking and chatting happily with the daughter of a nobleman from your own country.

Two people with very different styles can become friends.

When Yotsuba Mahiro, who was taking up his post for the first time, stepped into the academy's gates, he was immediately met with countless prying eyes.

Aside from being captivated by his handsome face, both men and women were very curious about his identity, since he wasn't wearing the school uniform issued by the Midgar Academy, so he probably wasn't a student?

If they aren't students, then the only people who can enter the academy at this time are teachers.

But the problem is that she seems too young as a teacher, looking no more than their age...

However, Mahiro didn't pay much attention to these things. After all, this wasn't the first time he had been spied on like this, and he was already used to it.

"First grade, huh...?"

In addition to the courses he was required to teach, he was also assigned to manage a first-year class, which is essentially his role as a homeroom teacher.

Perhaps it's fate at work.

Claire happens to be a freshman who just enrolled this year.

I wonder if I could be Claire's homeroom teacher?

I wonder what Claire's expression will be when they meet again.

He must have been so happy and excited that he wanted to kill him with a single sword strike, right?

Just as his thoughts were drifting away, a sudden cry of pain pulled him back to reality.

"It hurts..."

Looking down, I saw a beautiful girl with pink double braids sitting on the ground in pain.
