-So you mean this guy who you swear was a true master went alone and killed a battle kings and two true masters, proceeded to have a chat with our special debitor and disappeared with some kids, a prostitute and a maid by using a fucking talisman? Asked a very scary man with a extremely chiseled face that showed he was a berserker of certain repute and had several body enchantments tattooed in his body.

-Yes sir. Answered an extremely average looking man without changing his face in the slightest. Which is pretty creepy, because that means he didn't open his lips either.

-We're better be careful. Lay low for some time. The idiot knew of some troublesome things, so we are going to move over. Shit, just my luck! Right when that profitable contract knocked our doorstep. Differently from what'd be expected, this mafia boss looking guy was pretty smart. -At best we will have to bribe some sect to leave us alone, at worst… well, I've heard the queen has been trying real hard to summon a hero, and those aren't exactly known for their love to bandits.

He was quite right actually. Aki had just peaked at those criminals organizations so that he could come in later and take everything in there as war funds.

Luckily not every bandit boss was so smart, or all the loot boxes would've just escaped while Aki did something else.

Of course, they've escaped Aki, not the general. Our dear Mc most obviously reported what he saw and that some especially suspicious organizations might be linked to the hero summoning idiots.

That mainly makes a difference because they are in a desperate need of money.

In case you didn't know, teaching old farts about the concept behind machine power, physics and science doesn't make those guys instantly able to fork out the money to test and produce said ideas. The kingdom unfortunately doesn't have anyone who could just copy and paste the theory into reality either. For the moment. Those kind of artisans normally come right when there is some kind of innovation.

Besides, it's not like the queen is just going to let a potential money source slide.

Right now Aki’s schedule consists mostly of teaching old man for six hours, spending two hours playing with his loli, four hours of weapon teaching, two hours learning magic and two hours cultivating in between.

Since that is boring let's see another's point of view.

…

Gang Jiahao, that is officially my new name, given to me by the queen herself in person and chosen by that bastard Min Qiu Jiahao.

If you thought of all the names and ceremony, at the very least notice the names are written in the wrong order before giving them out! I can only thank the queen for asking for ours new names before the presentation. It took me a while to notice why she was so determined to have him say it out loud as well, but I certainly would've done the same in her case.

It was beautiful, flowers of all kinds in the garden in a lovely pattern used to bring the most of out of their forms and using a color pallet of purple that grew deeper the closer you got to the main entrance, where the queen awaited in the end of the stairs with a veil letting her lips appear.

As we walked forward to her and the several cultivators of renown, bells chimed in a soothing melody and cherry blossoms flew around in our way.

After paying our respects, He went first and the queen spoke of the hopes of the kingdom for him in the future. He apparently is a hero.

A hero, uh? Of the few I've met I could match none of them no matter how much higher was my cultivation. Figures he doesn't give a crap about me having been a celestial emperor.

-The matron of Saint Bloodwood orphanage, Jiahao Na Lian, I ask of you to take care of our children, so that the only future they see in front of themselves is one made by their own hands, one where they can happily smile from the bottom of their hearts.

Even such a bastard can say words like that with a warm face, hum? It's not bad though.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

The former prostitute walked up the stairs and kneeled before the queen and the hero.

-Rise friend, for only those who suffered can understand the suffering of others, not many have suffered as much as you, and even less have stood firm before fate. Rise, for if you do not look up by the end of the path you've chosen, no other will. He said while lifting her by the shoulders.

-Receive my blessing child, and bring glory to our country. Said the Queen as she kissed the woman's forehead. Due to a difference of height of about ten centimeters, she actually had to step on air a couple of times to do so, but she did it with the gracefulness of a goddess.

After offering her thanks and cupping her hands while bowing, the newly annointed matron stood respectfully behind the hero.

-Children, step forward and embrace your new home. I won't lie, evil will look to cause you trouble, and I am incapable of shielding you of all with my power alone. That's why I wish to make you all able to be strong enough to surpass any who threaten you or your loved ones. Wise enough to use that strength. Humane enough to be able to wield all of your power and not regret the choices you've made. As for how someone as weak as me can make anyone strong… that is very simple. I am a genius, and that means I learn from the mistakes of others. Even if I never saw an attack, I will know I can't stand it. Let this be my first real lesson as a teacher and hero. If a man is not strong enough, he needs the power of others, but what if his power is to flow the power of others to do his bidding? Would he them not be the strongest? No. To be strong is to protect yourself! To be the strongest is to protect all! That is who I expire to be and who I will be. If I can't even protect a few kids until they grow up, them may heaven strike me down! As proof of my words, I shaw capture the rats infiltrating in this happy ceremony!

As he said so, numerous golden circles appeared all around and in most of them were man wearing black.

I asked him about it afterwards, but his answer was:

-That? It was just for show. Suppose there is an invisible enemy you are unable to pinpoint. The correct strategy is to either entrap him or just attack everything around you, so you'd be sure to hit him, but there is also the strategy of predicting where your opponents will attack, so I just left myself and the sect seemingly open to spionage and them activated the traps after the man had already stepped in. With the formation core the queen gave me I've made quite a lot of interesting things. I'd love to brag about them, but that isn't fun at all, so you're just going to have to wait and see.

When the queen came over the next day she said that thanks to his theory on souls they were able to extract plenty of good information on the other countries, some darmic sects and of the fiend sects.

I didn't expect that my interrogation methods would be useless right now, but oh well, there will be other chances to curry favor. But what is this strange feeling I have on her?

-Say, Fang, you've had an epiphany didn't you? My my, what could have possibly happened between now and the yesterday that would make an at the peak have an epiphany? He said with a totally smug face and zero respect.

That's it, even if you have some friendship with her and are the hero, there's no way…

-Shut it, you idiot! I was holding back my cultivation for some time now and just saw an opportunity, so I just did it, understood!? Even if you helped me have a minor epiphanie it doesn't mean it was all that big a deal. The queen said while pointing at him like it was an accusation. Uh?

-Are you sure it was a minor one? My my, how talented is her majesty, to cross a realm barrier with a simple minor epiphany. I am most honored to be your sworn hero and friend! He said with fake air of admiration while bowing a perfect 90 degrees. -HOI! The queen’s veil flew and…

…

Thanks to our ass of a main character, station brat is having some technical difficulties, station cuteness activating.

…

-Little monkey, brother Gang is having some problems, could you come and get him to the infirmary?!

As I trained in my room, master called from the front door, so I got up and quickly got there. Master was being Berated by the important auntie from before, so I was surprised and thought she had turned against master, so I was prepared to attack her, but master stopped me.

-Now now Xiao Rong, friends do this sometimes, she's not really angry at me. You can't attack every pretty sister around just because they seem angry, ok? Now say sorry to the queen for launching yourself at her and turn off your void element.

-I am sorry auntie. I curved my back to bow while being held by master's hands and turned the cold feeling off.

-A… auntie?!? I am still only seven hundred years old, I am not that old! She screamed while stuttering for some reason. Was she trying to do that thing she was doing with master and being friendly?

-Pffff, Fang, she is six years old, even I am an old uncle in her point of view, and I am sixteen! Hahaha… now look at this cute face and tell me you can stay angry at her. You can't right? Now, little monkey, master is going to talk about business with the queen, you might hear screaming, but that is because we are friends and she is a person that naturally talks loudly…

-Oi!

-Just like that. But she doesn't have many chances to be herself, that's why she's like this around her good friend. She's a rare specimen, so if you ever find someone who can be themselves around you, be sure to cherish them, ok? For now go get brother Gang to the infirmary and ask Na Lian to stop his nose from bleeding. That should teach him not to spy on me for a while.

-Understood.
