It had been only three months since the mage division was created. Seeing as how Allan didn’t even have a building for the new mages to live and train at and yet still gather up new recruits, it worried Calian. However, Allan smiled and answered without any worry in his voice.

“Not yet no, I’ve brought him in early only to be your bodyguard, so you won’t need to worry about that. And since there aren’t that many mages that are talented in Kyrisis, it will take quite a while to gather up enough numbers.”

Well, he knows what he’s doing. That’s what Calian thought and nodded his head in agreement. Seeing him nod like that, Allan smiled slightly as he spoke again.

“The Mage Division’s name has been decided.”

Calian’s face turned back to Allan.

Since it was an army created by Rumein, even if Calian had sped up its founding, naming it had still been something Rumein was in charge of. Therefore Calian made sure not to blurt out the name of the mage division he already knew it was going to be.

“What is it going to be?”

Allan then stared at Calian with playfulness in his eyes. He was hoping Calian would guess correctly. Calian laughed, and opened his mouth.

“Valkan.” 

(T/N – I might have previously translated this as Balkan – but Valkan is the right name)

Allan smiled, seeing as his hunch that Calian already knew was right.

“As expected, you are right. Rumein decided that the name is going to be Valkan.”

“That’s great. So it’s really happening then, now that there’s even a name.”

Allan nodded and continued.

“I am thinking of bringing over my daughter-in-law and my granddaughter that’s living in Riverne soon. You may actually get to see them once you come back from Roselita, actually.”

Calian’s foot stopped moving for a moment, then continued forward. A very awkward expression came over Calian’s face.

“A granddaughter… So you had…… A granddaughter, huh.”

Allan, who looked younger than Arsen did, gave a warm grandfather-like smile.

“She really is a confident and beautiful little girl. However, I’m bringing her over here not because of the granddaughter but my daughter-in-law. She is teaching magic in Riverne right now, she would be more helpful if she came over and trained the mages of Valkan instead.”

Calian didn’t have much knowledge about Riverne. He just knew that they treated mages well, and that the people there were very free and open minded. Therefore, as he was not familiar with Riverne’s magic education, he asked Allan, 

“I’m curious about the magic school facility in Riverne actually. Can you really learn enough just from that school to carry out the duties of a mage?”

He was not sure just how effective learning magic is if the class is set in a way that a single teacher teaches many students at the same time. Allan nodded and answered.

“It is similar to the knights training school of Brissen, actually. As to how effective the teaching is depends on the individual’s talent and effort, there’s no real difference otherwise.”

Allan didn’t hear any replies from Calian of what he said. Noticing that Calian was deep in thought, Allan simply walked beside Calian without saying anything.

Calian’s mouth only after going around nearly the entirety of the Ceignes Pavillion once.

“Teacher, do you actually have any other plans this afternoon?”

Hearing him, Allan immediately shook his head without any hesitation. If it’s Calian that’s looking for him, Allan was willing to push aside any scheduled meetings anyways.

“I do not have anything scheduled.”

Calian nodded his head. However, what Calian was looking for this time wasn’t Allan. Calian smiled towards Allan as he smiled with anticipation and spoke.

“Please let me borrow the carriage.”

Allan was caught off guard by the unexpected question, and asked with a curious stare.

“Is there something you need not from me but from my carriage?”

As it was such a strange sentence, Calian laughed for a bit before answering.

“It’s just that I need to make use of your name for a bit, teacher. It doesn’t matter if you come along, but you may not have much fun if you do today.”

No matter how you saw it, it meant that he was going to get on the extravagant carriage that was clear to everyone that it belonged to Allan Manasil, and go around spreading his name.

As he was not a fool that would follow whenever someone asks them to unless he was going in the first place, Allan shook his head and answered.

“I do not enjoy places I cannot have fun in. In any case, it would be strange if I was dawdling outside of the palace while you are using my carriage, so I will just be talking to Rumein in the meantime. Have a safe trip.”

Calian nodded, and brought Yan and Kyrie along with him to Allan’s carriage. They all got in, and went outside of the palace grounds.

After hearing from the chamberlain that Calian was leaving the palace grounds on Allan’s carriage, Rumein told him not to give reports about him anymore if he is going out together with Allan. This was a sign of his trust in Allan.

However, right as he finished speaking, Allan suddenly appeared behind the chamberlain. Seeing him come in, Rumein’s expression soured greatly.

This damn mage had sent his son out alone. 

—

Barron Melfir Pollun, the head merchant of the Pollun Merchantry, was giving fish food in the small pond at the back of his residence. Meaning he was having a very peaceful and leisurely time.

He was enjoying his rare holiday when he saw a servant run towards him, who said that there was a carriage coloured black with mother-of-pearl – was heading towards the residence.

The round eyes of Melfir widened like a goldfish.

“Sir Allan Manasil visiting here?”

The servant who ran all the way to the back garden after seeing the carriage answered while heaving his breath.

“Yes, my lord. We just confirmed that Sir Allan’s carriage was coming in.”

“Hmm… Why in the world would he be coming here for.”

Melfir gave the bowl filled with fish food to the servant, then dusted off his clothes. As he was hurriedly walking towards inside, another person ran towards Melfir.

The one who ran towards him was not a servant, but a butler wearing a black suit.

Melfir raised one of his eyebrows.

If the old butler is to run towards him in a hurry like this, then something important was definitely happening. Soon, the butler came next to Melfir and whispered into his ear. Melfir’s eyes widened slightly more than before.

‘There was another person inside of Sir Manasil’s carriage.’

After hearing all he had to say, Melfir was barely able to stop himself from falling over into the pond from the shock. His face was completely pale now. 

The voice he heard that had allowed him to stop an incident from happening on the celebration of the king’s birthday rang around his head.

‘I feel slightly uneasy about what’s above. Go take a look.’

That short sentence saved his life, and his saviour Calian was now in his house.

Calian must have come to claim his life debt that Melfir had been delaying in paying back for 3 months now.

On top of that, he personally came here to take it!

Melfir hoped that today’s Melfir was the smartest he’s ever been his entire life, and quickly hurried towards where Calian was.
