"As you know, Yanagi Shina joined the legion. We will prepare a suitable battlefield for her. I will use her overwhelming strength to help us defeat the incoming enemies." Souta said to them.

"Yanagi Shina... What a troublesome person? She's strong but how should we handle her." Yujin sighed when he thought how unbridled that girl.

"You can leave her to me. I'm currently thinking about how could I handle her. After all, we couldn't always rely on Teacher Bargan to handle a member of our legion." Souta said as he tapped his finger on the table.

"Just by thinking about our plans, I felt that we would create chaos in this city," Brando said.

"You just felt it. The moment Souta decided to publicize the twenty mana fruits, it's been determined that chaos would chase our legion." Alice said as she looked at Brando.

"I-Isn't that bad?" Lynn said with a worried expression.

"Yes, it's bad. But it will bring us a lot of opportunities." Souta said. "The twenty mana fruits that I publicize are rare among the other mana fruits. I received information from Jimmy that some of the criminal organizations are already moving in the dark. They are planning to invade this place and take the twenty mana fruits."

"Oh? Then, we will fight them, right? I wonder if they are strong." Bryan said with an excited expression when he heard that someone would invade this building.

"Of course, they are strong. That's why we should tightened our guard in the next few days. But I doubt that they will attack us immediately. At least they will thoroughly prepare themselves if they are going to attack us." Souta said as he glanced at Lumilia.

Lumilia nodded and added, "I already spread the rumors about Yanagi Shina joining our legion. This piece of news will lessen the chances of the attack in the next few days."

"I see... So that's your plan." Yujin nodded in understanding. He then glanced at Souta and asked, "When we are going to attack the nobles? That's your goal, right?"

Something bad will going to happen in this city and every faction sensed those movements in the dark.

The twenty mana fruits were the highest grade mana fruits that Souta had so countless forces in the dark were eyeing the fruits.

Ursus, Lumilia's father, faced the pressures of the other nobles when he got the honey. It reached the point that he had to marry off her daughter to some nobles to have an ally.

But the fruits that Souta have in his legion were much valuable than that honey.

They could easily predict what will happen to the Dark Oculus legion. They will become the prey of the hidden predators in this kingdom.

'Prey, me? A prey? That's ridiculous.' Souta laughed inwardly.

'Ufufu, the other forces would be surprised if they knew that you wanted them to attack your legion. I can't wait to see their despair as you show them who's the real predator.' Saya chuckled.

Souta was quite excited as he knew that it will bring him a lot of high-level quests.

What they don't know was that the real predator was coming to the Hebrei Kingdom.

...

Four days had passed quickly in the blink of an eye. In these days, Souta and the rest trained in Saya's inner consciousness. They learned new spells and skills making them grow stronger. Also, their proficiency in their skills increased by a whole level to the system terms.

In the institute, Souta raised his points and defeated the top rankers of the second year. The only things that were left untouched were the top 10 and above rankers of the second year.

Absolute dominance occurred every time Souta stepped inside the stage.

At this moment, no one thought that there's a second-year student that could fight Souta on equal ground.

Three days ago, Bryan, Yujin, Alice, and Brando showed their fangs on the higher year. They began to challenge the second year just like Souta.

This shocked everyone. The power of those four people exceeded everyone's expectations. The entire second-year students grew restless because of the constant challenge from the first-year students.

Just like that, Souta's group stunned everyone in the institute. Their fame spread throughout the entire institute and everyone knew their names.

Move to the preparation of the plan... The plan was complete and they were preparing to execute it.

Souta, Lynn, and Bryan arrived at the birthday party of the duke's daughter.

"Hmm...? This is good." Souta said as he looked at the glass of wine in his hand.

"You shouldn't drink, Souta," Lynn said to him.

"Don't worry, with our strength this wine wouldn't be able to damage my liver even if I drink alcohol every day for fifty years," Souta assured Lynn.

"T-That's not it," Lynn said as she lowered her head and looked on the floor.

"Ah, I'm bored." Bryan suddenly said from the side.

The three of them were wearing formal clothes. They were currently inside the guest room of the Venreita family.

"This is part of our plan. You would be able to fight soon so don't worry." Souta said to Bryan.

"Really? Yes, I can't wait for it." Bryan said with a wide smile on his face.

"Haha, you're too simple." Souta laughed.

Then, the door opened and a girl wearing an exquisite dress entered the room. She had long yellow hair that was tied in a bun behind her head. Her ears resemble that of a boar's, partnered with her brown-colored pupils in contrast to the color of her hair.

This girl was the daughter of the Venreita family, Silvia Venreita.

Behind her was a beautiful girl at the same age. The girl was wearing blue dress, the opposite of her red color hair which draped down to her shoulder and back. Her sapphire-colored pupils focused on Bryan, Souta, and Lynn who were inside the room.

She was Leila Suvblivan, a daughter of a duke just like Silvia.

"I'm glad that you came here. How are you, Sir Bryan?" Silvia asked Bryan in a gentle tone.

"I'm bored," Bryan replied to her.

'This idiot! How can he reply like that to her?' Veins pop up in Souta's forehead when he heard Bryan's reply. He then glanced at Silvia's expression. 'Luckily, it seems that the girl is not bothered by his reply. It seems that she's interested in Bryan. Hoho~ I could use this to my advantage.'

Then...

"If you're bored you can leave this place right away!" Leila said with a frown on her face.

"Leila, you can't say those things to our savior," Silvia said to Leila. She then turned to Bryan and said, "I'm sorry for Leila's rudeness. She's just mad because her fiance is liking another woman."

"Don't bring that man in our conversation!" Leila said in a loud voice.

"It's okay. Ah, I'm hungry." Bryan waved his hands and felt his stomach growled.

"Don't worry, there's a lot of food at my party. You can eat anything that you want there." Silvia said in a gentle tone.

"Really? I'm looking forward to it." Bryan smiled.

"Oh? I forgot to introduce myself to your friends." Silvia said as she turned to Souta and Lynn.

"I'm Silvia Venreita of the Venreita household," Silvia said in a polite tone as she lifted up the side of her dress to show her etiquette. "And this is my friend, Leila Suvblivan of the Suvblivan household."

Souta stood up and he slightly bowed. "Greetings to you Lady Silvia and Lady Leila. I'm Souta Ieshi, a student of the Ladro Institute, also the commander of the Dark Oculus legion."

"I-I'm Lynn Yaoli, a student of the Ladro Institute and a member of Dark Oculus legion." Lynn copied Souta's manner with a stiff move. She was flustered as she wasn't used to greeting someone like this.

"Hmph!" Leila harrumphed as she turned her head.

"Nice to meet you," Silvia said with a beautiful smile.

"No, it's our pleasure to meet you." Souta shook his head and said in a polite tone. He lifted his head and looked at them with a faint smile on his face.

"Then, let me guide the three of you to the hall," Silvia said to them.

"Sure," Bryan simply nodded his head.

"It's our pleasure, Lady Silvia," Souta replied to her.

Silvia guided them to the huge hall. The ceiling was high and exquisite chandeliers were hanging on it. People wearing formal clothes were already present.

Souta could easily recognize that they were nobles with just a glance. The elegance and etiquette that they showed weren't something that commoners have.

The people inside the hall turned their heads and looked at Souta's group. The main character of this party was escorting three unknown people so it piqued the attention of every noble in this place.

"We're here," Silvia said to them.

"Thanks for escorting us, Lady Silvia," Souta said to her in a polite tone.

Lynn also thanked her.

"Oh, this place is huge!" Bryan exclaimed as he looked around.
