On the small platform of the staircase, where the third and second floors meet in the guild hall of Oberiske, Hughes Adolphus and Felik meet unexpectedly.

"Teacher, you're so early today!" Exclaimed Felik in disbelief.

"Once in a while, I can't die, what's the fuss!" said Hughes, sneering at Felik's attitude, and Hughes continued to walk upstairs.

Seeing this, Felik naturally turned sideways and moved out of the way.

"So, teacher, are you here to announce your return to the group, or is it the other way around?"

Hearing this, Hughes stopped. He was silent for a moment, then turned around.

"Felik, I ask you, do you want me to return or is it the other way around?"

"That's the opposite, of course. Felik replied without hesitation.

"Hughes?" Hughes was taken aback unexpectedly, "Why? You're too ungrateful, aren't you?"

"That's why I chose the latter because I called you 'Sensei'. ”

As he spoke, Felik couldn't help but sigh when he saw Hughes's inexplicable expression.

"Alas, you're a fan of the authorities. I saw the light, the light I had never seen since you were here. It's not that 'Oberisk' isn't for you. It's just that...... I think this is more of a nest for you. And the young eagle will leave the nest one day, isn't it? It's not abandonment, it's not betrayal, it's growth. ”

"I'm a child, how can I understand what you say so complicatedly. ”

As if he had no interest in talking, Hughes turned around and continued to walk. Watching his distant back, Felik shrugged his shoulders and headed downstairs.

Hughes is using the identity of "child" as a shield again, but at this time he has generally understood.

"After all, I called him, teacher. ”

With a relieved expression, Felik walked briskly down the stairs.

Hughes, on the other hand, walked to Richard Alphons' office with trepidation. As he walked, he couldn't help but recall last night's banquet.

It was a celebration banquet and a welcome party, hosted by Min Wei and the five people, Hughes and Felik, all of whom were invited.

The feast celebrates Min Wei, who defeated the Dragonmen to avenge Wen Daoru, and also marks their graduation from Hughes's training. And the welcome is that Tsujido Iko, who was originally just unlucky to be selected by Hauge and was simply involved, officially joined Min Wei's team.

As a result, Hughes didn't feel like he could be involved at all until the end of the banquet and Min Wei said he wanted to talk to him alone.

In the alley on the side of the tavern, Min Wei bowed his head to Hughes very sincerely, and then said, "I know this is a reluctant request, but please continue to guide us!"

Originally thought that Min Wei and they must have wanted to please themselves as soon as possible, Hughes was stunned for nearly three seconds or so when he heard this, and then reacted.

"Is this your own intention, or the meaning of all of you?"

Faced with Hughes's question, Min Wei showed shame.

"It's just me now, but I'll find a way to convince everyone!

"But didn't you decide to be self-reliant like Wen Daoru?"

But I'm also well aware that we're nowhere near the point where we can be self-reliant. We decided to follow our own adventurer path, but we didn't really have an idea of what to do next, or even what to do tomorrow. Although we are unwilling, we have to admit that we are still far from self-reliance. The moment I took down the dragonman, I thought, 'We wouldn't have been able to do it without this man named Hughes.' I'm not trying to find a backer, Wen Daolu is dead, we don't want to find someone to replace him, and there is no one to replace him. But we really need someone to be a teacher! So, please, teacher!"

Min Wei's words are equivalent to letting Hughes not participate in the affairs of "Oberiske" for a long time, and this length of time is probably no different from quitting. That's why he himself said it was a "reluctant invitation".

Hughes should have refused decisively, knowing that he was a veteran of "Oberiske", and he had always looked at Min Wei and they were not pleasing to the eye.

However, at that time he hesitated and said "let me think about it".

Because, the moment he saw Min Wei and their successful crusade against the dragonmen, Hughes experienced an unprecedented feeling of comfort. It's different from the joy of success and the strong pride that comes from the strategy.,It's a kind of satisfaction.。

As Felik said, Hughes also felt at that time that there was light emanating from his body, and that was a unique light that shone brightly because of the light of others that he had shaped.

At this moment, it can be said that Hughes chased the light before he walked into the office and stood in front of Richard.

"Yo, long time no see. Richard leaned back at his desk and smiled at a somewhat nervous Hughes, "It's done?"

"Hmm. He nodded, then Hughes shook his head, "It doesn't seem like there is yet." That, Big Brother Richard, what about me...... Hmmm......"

Seeing that Hughes was about to speak and stopped, Richard smiled with relief.

"You're leaving, aren't you? ”

"Why do you know?" said Hughes.

"Did you just run into Felik?"

"I see, it's the wind that the guy has penetrated beforehand. After muttering a sentence of sudden realization, Hughes showed a guilty expression to Richard, "Brother Richard, it may be a bit unbelievable for a child like me to say such things, but I seem to have found what I want to do here." ”

"I don't know how thick the sky is...... Isn't it nice to know? Richard said something that made Hughes look dazed, "I don't know if I want to step out and measure the world." ”

"If you say that, you're ......"

"Hmm. Richard nodded, "I will allow you to leave." At the end of the day, you are all free, and you don't need my consent to stay or leave. And for your departure Hughes ......"

Richard took two steps forward, bent down and reached out to press Hughes's shoulder.

"I'm very happy. My children are finally heading out for the distance. However, since you want to teach people, don't be satisfied with teaching only five, follow fifty, five hundred, five thousand!"

"Ahh

Early in the morning, outside the north gate of Hatsuha City, Min Wei, Tsujido Iko, Lu Qiu, Liluvia, and Hauge, the five of them lined up in a row. Everyone was quiet, except for Hauge muttering something.

"Why, do you have to keep this stinky little ghost?"

"Did you say anything?" Hughes Adolphus, who was standing in front of the five, asked in a menacing tone as he glanced at Hauge.

"No! I didn't say anything!"

"Well, since you've decided to continue your training with me, be mentally prepared. I'm not here to stand in front of you and shelter you from the wind and rain, but to stand behind you and kick you off the cliff one by one......!

"Master Hughes!"

Just as Hughes was talking about the excitement, a coquettish cry suddenly sounded on the side, choking him.

Who is it?

Thinking about it, Hughes turned around with an angry look on his face. He couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a cowering girl dressed as a magician clinging to a long staff.

"Well, excuse me, are you Mater Hughes?" the girl asked tentatively.

"Hmm...... Oh, yes. Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I, I heard that it only took you two weeks to train a third-rate team to the point where you could defeat the dragon man boss in Qianlin Bei, is this true!"

Third-rate!

Min Wei's expressions suddenly became embarrassed, and Hughes was extremely proud in comparison.

"Yes, yes! They are my blessing!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl immediately laughed.

"Well, please take me as a student! I want to be a real adventurer!"

Seeing that the other party bowed to ninety degrees very sincerely, Hughes couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"Ah, you know, I'm Master Hughes!"
