Meanwhile, Theo returned to the group after stopping the army from going too far. He was there to meet Agata, who seemed to have let go of her position and given the cleaning task to someone else.


    They had finished the battle anyway, so it would be right for the army to take over the business.


    Agata came out of themand center and hugged him.


    "I miss you." She buried her head in Theo''s chest, washing away her fatigue. Thest few weeks were truly hard because she had to handle so many things, including Rea.


    "I miss you too." Theo smiled, stroking her hair. "Have you lost any weight? You seem lighter?"


    "No way! You''re probably the one getting stronger." She chuckled. "Congrattions on your first kill."


    "Second, yes."


    <o>,m "…" Agata was speechless before shrugging her shoulders. "Ah, yes. One, insult. Two, honor. Alright, I know."</o>


    Theo chuckled. "Well, I''ll tell you and the others the storyter."


    "I''m looking forward to hearing the story of how you killed your first World ss Monster."


    "It''s nothing extraordinary. I got some help anyway." Theo chuckled and opened his Skylink, sending a document to Rea. "This is yourst task. Can you take care of the migration process and let the normal people integrate themselves into the base?"


    Although Rea had learned about it, seeing the name of the number one enchanter in the world on the list still shocked her.


    "You''ve truly made some connections to the Mafia Queen, Alexandra Boric." Rea shook her head helplessly. She knew trouble would being after this battle since the base would demand him to give them the Mafia Queen for the sake of stability.


    Having someone with a power bigger than the government was very dangerous since thetter had the potential of shaking the entire base or threatening the white house, so they would demand the Mafia Queen to work for them.


    However, Theo said, "Mafia Queen? All I know is that a woman called Alexandra Boric is living in mynd. Nothing else. If the government is trying to invade mynd, then I''ll respond ordingly."


    "That''s a threat to the government, no…" She shook her head helplessly.


    "That''s not a threat. I''m simply protecting my ce, so in this way, the government is the one trying to destroy my stability and break their agreement. I don''t have any choice but to retaliate."


    Rea pinched the bridge of her nose and said, "Alright, I understand. I''ll handle it ording to your instruction."


    Theo nodded. "So, do you learn something from this?"


    "Do you mean how I''m far inferiorpared to you? Or is it about how I would get utterly destroyed by them if I didn''t have your letter?" Rea paused for a moment, looking at Theo''s calm expression.


    She thought she would be a bit apologetic after this teasing, but she knew everything was already within his calction. She clicked her tongue, frustrated that Theo knew she would act this way.


    "Fine, fine. I was joking. Yes, I''ve learned a lot. There were three big answers I got from this battle. First, I should consider what my enemies do more to predict their movement. My n seems to have been straightforward this whole time, so yeah…"


    "The first one is not your fault. It''s mine. After all, I have been telling you to do this and that. So, yourck of independence has been growing. I always want to give you this kind of opportunity to try to break it, but I guess I have cracked it this time… I''ll ask you to lead the group for a bit more to gain some experience."


    Theo wasn''t perfect. He wasn''t embarrassed to admit his mistake or, even worse, me someone for his mistake. He taught Rea like how he treated Agata, but he didn''t consider one thing.


    Agata was working as his assistant for the sake of his heart, while Rea worked for him because she wanted to get stronger. The former was trying to stand next to him while thetter was chasing after him. That was why the dependency was formed, and this was his fault.


    Rea nodded with a serious expression, not rebuking him. She continued to the second point. "Also, I was too focused on our enemy this time to the point I panicked when a World ss Monster appeared. Instead of doing everything, hoping you would return to change the situation, I should have asked the Time God toe before the battle even began.


    "This way, I had a backup n to settle everything. Creating theseyers of schemes would be good because I wouldn''t have to panic when I''m in trouble. I''ve all those trump cards… So, this means I haven''t prepared enough. I''m sorry."


    Rea lowered her head, apologizing. If she had demanded the Time God toe to their territory before the World ss Monster appeared, she could deal with the shark without opening the fourth letter.


    Theo nodded in agreement. He had told her that hepletely supported her decision.


    So, if she imed that the Time God had toe to make the n work, she should be able to force the Time God to make his move somehow. That was why she agreed this was her fault.


    "Last but not least, I know that my Embodiment is stillcking in many things. It turns out there is a way to connect them. My Embodiment has five points like a star, but I haven''t consideredbining them. What if Ibine two points? Three points or even all of them? This is something I have never considered.


    "And with this, I know what I should do to get stronger." Rea clenched her fists to show her resolve. "I''ll get stronger, far stronger than this."


    Theo nodded with a smile. "I''m looking forward to it. Though, before that, there is something you should do."


    "Of course! Please get some rest, Teacher. I''ll be handling all this matter for you."
