A week passed...
After consoling Charlotte in her office, she became jealous after reading the marriage proposal to Ben from the Ruth family, and Dorothy, who showed off her new witch hat.
With help from the base, Ben contacted Coral Peacock's secret base and sent a request in his name regarding his illusion magic.
He could have asked Charlotte to ask directly to Dorothy, but Ben rejected her.
Because he wanted to make a request officially to the Coral Peacock.
Ben doesn't want to mooch off Charlotte's connection; if he is lucky, Dorothy might consider his request.
Coral Peacock Base...
In the Coral Peacock captain's office, as usual, Kirch Vermillion was going through the documents submitted by the fellow magic knights of the squad.
And also checks the mission reports that were submitted while boosting his excellence to the magic knight standing beside him.
Who was looking at him with dead eyes?
'If there is a god... he must mute this shit permanently.'
The magic knight, who was forcefully smiling at Kirch, who was his vice-captain, cursed in his mind.
After going through the mission completion report, Kirch went to see the missions and requests applied to their squad to personally take care of.
On the other spot, Dorothy was sleeping soundly in the cloud she summoned.
While he was going through it, his hands landed on a request in his hands.
"____"
"Has this guy from Blue Rose lost his mind!!!"
Reading through the request, veins bulged on Kirch's head, and he cursed loudly in anger.
"What happened, Kirch?"
Waking from the sudden exclamation from Kirch, who looked extremely pissed off.
Dorothy was curious and floated behind Kirch to see what was written on the request letter, which made Kirch extremely angry.
Fufu~
"Interesting... it will be interesting being a teacher for Ben-kun."
Reading the content of the request letter, Dorothy chuckled and touched her chin in deep thought.
Even though Dorothy was one of the most powerful magic knights who existed in the Clover Kingdom, nobody approached her to learn from her.
They always feared her for no reason; she just played a few pranks on a few noblemen who tried to approach her, which gave her a big reputation among many nobles who would flee just hearing the news of her arrival.
So even Wizard King Julius used her reputation among the nobles to suppress some of those who tried to increase their influence on the magic knights by assigning tasks related to them to her.
Some of them tried to make a move on her, which didn't end up well.
After that incident, no one approached her asking for any help or requesting directly to her.
"Don't worry, Captain, I will immediately destroy this letter and send a warning letter to Blue Rose for an explanation."
With a swift motion, Kirch took an empty scroll and started writing in it.
"No... wait... I will accept it."
Seeing Kirch with an offended look, writing a letter scolding Ben.
Dorothy stopped Kirch and took the request letter from Ben from Kirch's hand.
"____"
"Captain, you can't be serious. How can you accept such an outrageous request of teaching a peasant who doesn't know his place?"
Looking at his captain in shock with wide eyes, not believing what he just heard, he suddenly woke up from his stupor and asked Dorothy with an unbelievable look on his face.
Sigh~
'At least I can escape this demon.'
With a relieved sigh, the magic knight who had accompanied Kirch all this time slowly escaped from the room.
"Why are you overreacting? I have already met him during the last mission. He is an interesting one. So I don't mind teaching him."
With a confused look on her face, Dorothy shook her head and explained to Kirch, whose face turned very ugly hearing his captain praising Ben.
Even though Dorothy might seem like an easygoing person, she is good at finding others' nature due to her vast experience.
So hearing that his captain doesn't mind teaching Ben and calling him interesting gave a big blow to Kirch, who always considered himself to be the most impressive one.
Blue Rose Secret Base...
Ben received the news that Dorothy had accepted his request to teach him, which made him happy.
Even though he has different ideas on how to use illusion magic, he lacks the knowledge of how to practice it.
Which requires mental strength, imagination, and the mana required to cast the perfect illusion.
After packing his things, he went to the captain's office to report his departure for training.
After informing Charlotte, who warned him if he had any funny ideas regarding Dorothy behind her back.
When Ben arrived at the capital where the Wizard King was located, Dorothy asked him to come.
As he was about to enter the place through the huge gate after passing through the security checks, he saw three civilians arguing with a nobleman who seemed to be holding a woman by her collar.
"____"
With narrowed eyes, Ben went towards the commotion happening before the Wizard King's palace to confront them.
Cough~ cough~
"What is the commotion here?"
With a strong tone, Ben moved between the three civilians and the nobleman and stopped their conversation.
"Magic Knight!... good, capture them, they were assaulting me."
Seeing Ben's Magic Knight robe he was wearing, the nobleman with a victory grin pointed at the three civilians and gave his order.
"____"
Hearing the nobleman's claims of being assaulted by the civilians, Ben's right eye twitched in irritation.
'Did he take me for an idiot.'
With an annoyed look on his face, Ben turned towards the nobleman and started scanning the woman he was holding by her collar.
The woman was covered in bruises, and blood was coming from her swollen mouth while one of her eyes was nearly closed.
And the nobleman looked perfectly fine, not even a single wrinkle on his plain dress.
Later his eyes landed on the three civilians: one boy who looked to be in the age of between 10 to 13, one middle-aged man with a long beard, and an old man holding a stick for his balance, looking at him worriedly.
Even a child could see that the one who was assaulting was the nobleman, not them.
"First, please explain what is happening here?"
With a vein bulging in his forehead, controlling his anger, Ben asked them.
"Sir Magic Knight... please save my wife... she by accident bumped into this man. She apologized for that, but he suddenly started attacking her, claiming he was going to kill her in the street like a street dog."
With an aggrieved expression, the middle-aged man accused the nobleman, who sneered while being pointed at.
"Big brother Magic Knight, please save my mother."
With a frustrated look on his face, the boy pleaded to Ben, clutching his hands like a last straw of hope.
"Don't slander me, you piece of shit... this woman and her family were trying to assault me."
With a disgusted look on his face, the nobleman cursed at the boy.
"Can you take your hands off her?"
Ben, with narrowed eyes, moved forward and forcefully removed the nobleman's grip from the woman's collar and passed her to her husband.
"You... you... Don't you know who I am? I am Den Bitch. You are making an enemy out of my Bitch family."
Seeing Ben forcing him to release the woman he was holding, the nobleman's face turned ugly.
'Seriously Bitch family... what a name!... seriously!!!'
Thud~
With a dead look in his eyes, Ben moved forward and apprehended the nobleman, pressing him down to the ground.
"You bastard... just wait... nobody will know how you will die when my Bitch family hears about it."
Feeling being locked on the ground, the nobleman named Den cursed.
"Can you tell me how he is going to disappear? Again?"
A cold voice came from the gate of the Wizard King's palace.
"____"
"____"
When they looked in the direction of the gate, they saw Coral Peacock Captain Dorothy, who was emitting an oppressive aura, walking towards them along with the Wizard King, who seemed to smile like the sun.
"Witch? I am Dorothy-sama... Wizard King-sama..."
Noticing both of them looking at him, the nobleman felt oppressed and could barely breathe.
"Let's see what your Bitch family has to say... shall we?"
Two Magic Knights who were earlier guarding the gate came forward and took the nobleman inside the palace.
After the guards took the nobleman into custody, the civilian family thanked them and left.
"Ben... Ben... I heard you can now transform into a monster who could use sound magic. Is it true?"
With a twinkle in his eyes, the Wizard King asked curiously like a kid who found a new toy.
Seeing Ben nodding his head, Julius put his hands on Ben's shoulders and dragged him inside to ask about the Echo Echo Transformation and its power.
