Chapter 100 – Epilogue. The Kingdom of the Mercenary King (2) – Complete
Nova Academy.
It is the most famous academy among the awakened military academies that train hunters.
And this graduation ceremony became more popular than any other graduation ceremony.
That’s right, about a year and a half ago now.
This was because of the graduation of the members of the cadet party who had stopped the primordial demonic beast that had begun its resurrection from deep underground.
On the stage of the graduation ceremony, a cadet who was preparing for the event looked down into the auditorium.
‘Today is my last time as a Nova.’
And that cadet was Seo Soo-ah.
This marks the end of my three years at Nova Academy.
Nova was originally a four-year military academy.
Because Seo Soo-ah had a promise with a man.
I worked harder than any other cadet to complete Nova’s bachelor’s degree.
“In a moment, there will be a speech by the graduate representative.”
As a result, I was able to confidently win the position of graduate representative.
Of course, the first semester of the second year was already a year and a half ago.
Even in that semester when Eric, the owner of the academy general store, became an instructor, Seo Soo-ah’s skills were already at the level of an active hunter.
Now, it has developed into a different form than a year and a half ago.
Until now, Seo Soo-ah had been a person who only thought about her own personal strength.
Now she literally has the qualifications to be a commander-level hunter.
Everything was as Eric expected.
– I can’t take you to the Tigris Kingdom like this. Because that means I’m limiting your possibilities.
After defeating that original demon.
After the whole story became known to the world, Seo Soo-ah’s party became very famous.
Although there was no concept of a hero party on Earth.
Sua’s party was recognized as the great hero party that saved the world.
Unlike Su-ah’s parents, who sacrificed their lives to save the world but were forgotten.
Eric, who was in charge of the party in the first place, had finished talking.
When a war ends.
We decided to officially acknowledge that Seo Soo-ah’s party’s performance was the most difficult and important.
So Suah Seo’s party was awarded the highest level of honor that can be received by the Korean Hunter Association and the country.
‘It’s all thanks to Eric’s hard work.’
Chairman of Helios.
Jeong Ha-eun’s father, Jeong Yong-hyun, also acknowledged the performance of Seo Soo-ah’s party.
It was no exaggeration to say that Seo Soo-ah had become the most famous hunter in the world.
Of course, such honor was not that important to Seo Soo-ah.
Although he was glad that he had restored his parents’ honor.
In the end, what Seo Soo-ah worked so hard for was.
It was for only one person, Eric Becker.
‘Oppa Eric…’
And Eric.
Eric was clearly the core of Sua’s party.
Immediately after defeating the original demon beast.
All the spotlight went to Seo Soo-ah, so Eric didn’t become as famous as he thought.
So Su-a tried to give all the credit to Eric.
Eric declined the offer.
– As long as you keep your reputation as a warrior, Sua. And I will become so famous in the future.
I couldn’t understand that at first.
Everything Eric said was true.
After the original demon disappeared.
A sudden abnormal phenomenon occurred at gates around the world.
After the rampage ended, a country from another world that no one had imagined was summoned.
The name of that other world country is Tigris.
Surprisingly, the king of that country was Eric.
Only then did Suah Seo learn Eric’s true identity.
Arnster from another world.
The mercenary king there, called Tigris, was actually Eric.
“Instructor Eric… No, it looks like Eric’s Red Lion Knights have accomplished something big again this time.”
At that time, another cadet stood next to the cadet representative.
“You didn’t wear headphones today?”
“Joy. Because it’s graduation ceremony. “I also paid attention today.”
Although we weren’t really close friends.
My classmate, Jeong Ha-eun, was now close enough to joke with each other.
Jeong Ha-eun was also a co-representative of this graduating class.
It wasn’t surprising.
In the practical evaluation section, Seo Soo-ah was unrivaled and ranked first.
In other theoretical parts, Jeong Ha-eun was first place.
And for the past year and a half.
The two have grown rapidly by improving each other’s weaknesses.
So, the two of them can now go to any country on the planet.
He became skilled as a high-ranking commander who could directly lead the hunter unit.
“And the best representative cadet of the Magic Tower and the model nun of the order, please stand side by side.”
The host of the graduation ceremony also invited another cadet.
Then, a female cadet with flaming red hair and a nun with silver bangs approached Seo Soo-ah.
“Tch. Although it is right that I should stand as the cadet representative. “But since I’m a mid-term transfer student, I’ll give you special consideration.”
Most of the cadets were dressed in formal attire for the graduation ceremony.
The red-haired female cadet, Iris, wore a very gorgeous red dress and she stood here.
And Yoo Ye-na’s nun uniform is compared to other cadets.
The appearance of the two people was very noticeable.
“This brings us together again!”
Yuyena said with a bright smile.
As she said. The four people have already decided on their career path.
At that time, an instructor looked at the four people and said.
“Then shall we begin the speech? Because all four of you have to say what you think. “You might have to stand for quite a while.”
That instructor was also a senior instructor who received the best instructor award at this graduation ceremony.
It was instructor Joo Na-yeon, a member of Sua’s party.
And instructor Joo Na-yeon, who was speaking to her group, instantly focused on one place.
“Mr. Eric…”
At those words, all four people looked at one place at the same time.
A special place for VIPs invited to the graduation ceremony.
That’s right, Eric Becker was there.
“Oppa Eric…”
Seo Soo-ah said, her heart pounding.
It was time to keep the promise of the past year and a half.
Eric promised to come pick them all up after completing all the courses at Nova Academy.
In fact, many of her major guilds and hunter associations also tried to scout her.
All four of them chose their next career path without any hesitation.
That place is the Red Lion Knights of the Tigris.
It was Eric’s Knights.
Seo Soo-ah looked again at Eric beyond.
In an instant, the two people’s eyes met.
Seo Su-ah looked at Eric and smiled like the happiest woman in the world.
“I am the valedictorian of Nova Academy. “This is Seo Soo-ah.”
And finally, the graduation ceremony began.
***
Another two years have passed.
My kingdom, Tigris, achieved rapid development during those two years.
Although Earth’s hunters have been fighting a long battle against demonic beasts.
For a long time, he could not compete with the people of Arnster, who had studied the most efficient way to use mana and how to hunt magic beasts.
That too, the Tigris Mercenary Group, which was famous as the most martial arts group in Arnster.
My knighthood is now called the Knights of the Red Lion.
So Tigris was establishing itself as the new hegemony on Earth.
Therefore, countries around the world might be nervous about a new dictatorship destroying the existing system.
‘I’m not exactly the type of stupid demon lord aiming to conquer the world.’
So, just by clearing out the remnants of Black Eclipse and the dungeon, we were able to maintain excellent diplomacy with the countries on Earth.
And if only force exists, the country is bound to collapse surprisingly easily.
So, at the same time, I am increasing the power of the Red Lion Knights.
We have recruited many excellent talents. It was to strengthen the internal stability of the country.
Among those talented people, of course the best ones were those I had a connection with at Nova.
Sua and Haeun.
And even sisters Yu Ye-ji, Yu Ye-na, and Joo Na-yeon.
They all settled their affairs in Nova and became naturalized citizens of Tigris.
They have already entered society. He also held an important position in Tigris and contributed greatly to the growth of the country.
Of course, I also lived with them every day to the point where I didn’t have enough time.
“So… Are you going to be a little more kind to me from now on?”
And even in the midst of that busyness, today is a special day.
Both as the King of Tigris and as an individual.
Today was a very important day for me.
“I saw what you were doing. Iris.”
Iris looked a little upset at those words.
She was now wearing a pure white wedding dress.
He pretended to be upset.
When I looked at that wedding dress again, I immediately burst into laughter.
“The Red Magic Tower of Tigris! Because that magic tower lord is me! Please leave the future development of Tigris’ magic to me. Alfred!”
Then, looking at me, she shyly called me Alfred again.
As she said.
After everything was over, I felt like Arnster’s memories came back.
I acted in front of Iris.
Surprisingly, seeing me recalling the memory of that butler again.
Iris sat down and cried loudly.
– Alfred!! Sorry!!! I’m really sorry… I won’t bother you again!! And every day from now on I will live only for you!!!
And it was Iris who suddenly apologized and proposed at the same time.
Of course, I wasn’t offended by that.
I, too, have already loved Iris since I was a butler.
“Then let’s go out.”
At my words, Iris shyly held out her hand.
I escorted her and headed to her wedding hall.
And the rest of the couples were already there, wearing wedding dresses and preparing for the wedding.
Sua and Haeun.
And sisters Yu Ye-ji and Yu Ye-na. Even Joo Na-yeon.
They all smiled shyly at me.
I decided to accept both of her as my wife.
Northern Arnster, where I established a mercenary country.
Where the customs of the rough northern tribal society still remain.
The leader has many wives.
None of the Tigris’ ministers or subordinates opposed this marriage.
Of course, among those who would become my wife.
I don’t know if they’ll secretly care about each other’s rankings.
That’s their responsibility from now on anyway.
I love all my wives.
Who among them will be the older sister? She decided to leave it up to her to decide who would become the first queen.
‘Because that is also the custom of the northern tribes.’
Of course, the current wedding was an Earth-style wedding.
At that time, the band at the wedding hall played a wedding march.
Their grand wedding has finally begun.
I also smiled at my brides.
