“Anyway, congratulations. This is a good occasion, so enjoy it.”

He entered the lord’s manor while whistling. The warriors seemed to be aware of their visit, since they didn’t block their way.

“The Lord is waiting.”

When they reached the audience chamber through the long hallway on the first floor, Roenn—Glenn’s butler—opened the door with a smile.

Clunk.

The huge metal door split apart with a heart-stopping sound. The energy was magnificent enough to pierce the sky, spreading out from the door.

Raon grabbed the left side of his chest.

Has it always been this heavy…?

After acquiring an aura, Glenn’s pressure felt even larger. He couldn’t stop his hand from trembling in the wake of the endlessly powerful wave of energy.

A mere human…

Wrath’s voice was also trembling, squashed by Glenn’s pressure.

“You can feel it properly now that you have an aura, right?”

Rimmer smiled, a single drop of sweat trickling down his forehead.

“That is our king.”

Lifting the corners of his mouth, he entered.

“Hmm…”

Raon swallowed and followed him. Glenn’s pressure became more powerful the more he approached him. It felt like his shoulder was being squashed by the mighty wave of energy.

“Greetings to the lord!”

Raon, who was standing next to Rimmer, knelt. Glenn’s wave of energy finally subsided.

He could control his pressure in a moment. Even Derus didn’t seem like he would be a match for the might that reached for the sky.

“Stand up.”

Raon’s was automatically lifted by the voice that gave him the order. Upon meeting Glenn’s red eyes, everything around him grew blurry. It really was an overwhelming presence.

“I brought the top trainee, as my lord commanded.”

“…” 

Without even responding to Rimmer, Glenn stared at Raon. Maybe he didn’t like it or feel comfortable about it. Raon couldn’t read his thoughts at all.

“Did you acquire the ‘Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’?”

“Yes.”

“How long did it take?”

“It took about seven months.”

“It’s slow.”

He tilted his chin slightly. It looked like he was looking down on him.

“Show me the aura.”

Upon hearing Glenn’s order, Raon looked at Rimmer. When he asked with his eyes whether it was okay to use his aura in front of the head of house, Rimmer nodded.

“Normally you can’t, but he is asking you to.”

“Understood.”

Raon stood, clenching his fist before relaxing it.

Rage!

With the sound of an almost extinguished small flame being ignited once again, the red flame appeared. The First Flame of the ‘Ten Thousand Flames Cultivation’. The one and the first flame was ignited.
