"Do not underestimate the opponent, Ian,"
When the boy shared his thoughts with Hiliard, he saw his teacher slightly shaking his head, "It's not that simple—even if it has nothing to do with me, you, as a young Spirit Energy User, will certainly draw their attention."
"Huh?"
Ian did not quite understand now, frowning slightly, he pondered, "But such attention should be a good thing, shouldn't it? He should be trying to investigate my daily life to confirm whether I am as talented as Viscount Grant described—I will soon understand the truth."
"You're oversimplifying it."
The old knight shook his head meaningfully, "You know that The Empire officially compiles a list of ordinary people with the qualifications of Sublimators and Spirit Energy Users and allows local nobles or official organizations to bestow favors upon them, giving them inheritance, and then keeps these power holders in their own hands."
