ONE AND HALF MONTH EARLIER
In the days leading up to this moment, I had bestowed upon Asta the sacred knowledge of wooing women, delivering a marathon 12-hour lecture on the intricate art of capturing a lady's heart. And now, as fate would have it, Asta found himself ousted from combat sessions due to his overwhelming strength, granting him an abundance of free time. True to my teachings, he diligently pursued Irish, his future paramour, with unwavering dedication.
But while Asta basked in the glory of his newfound romantic pursuits, I found myself grappling with a different dilemma: my inability to harness the power of my unique skill, aptly named Creation. On paper, it seemed like child's play—after all, what could be simpler than conjuring objects out of thin air? Yet, despite my best efforts, my attempts at creation proved futile.
I had tried everything, from summoning mundane items like paper and pencils to more ambitious endeavors, but to no avail. It was as if the universe itself conspired against me, mocking my futile attempts with its resounding silence. And so, while Asta reveled in his conquests, I remained shackled by the enigma of my untapped potential, resigned to the absurdity of my plight.
And that Chiyoko guy, for now I'm stronger but I don't know why but he can imitate any techniques and magic by just seeing it once.
Is it because he is an otaku?, Or is he also a genius?, if things goes on like this, It will take him less than a month to surpass me.
But I couldn't let that distract me from my true mission: expanding my harem. I had lofty goals, aiming for a minimum of 40 to 50 ladies, if not hundreds. For the sake of my future paradise, For the sake of my unborn Childrens, I had to crack the code of my elusive Creation skill.
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and summoned all my determination. "As I open my eyes, I'll have Appraisal Skill!" I declared confidently, counting down in anticipation.
One...
Two...
Three!
I opened my eyes with eager anticipation, only to be greeted by the same disappointing reality—nothing. But giving up wasn't in my vocabulary. Determined to succeed, I approached the challenge from a different angle.
"Alright, new plan: Appraisal Skill...on my fingers! As I roll them like binoculars, Appraisal Skill will Activate."
With a deep breath, I rolled my fingers with the finesse of a magician performing a trick, and to my utter astonishment...
"It worked! Hahaha!" I exclaimed with uncontainable joy, celebrating my newfound success with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. Victory was finally within reach!
Discovering the true potential of my Creation skill felt like uncovering a hidden treasure trove. It wasn't just about summoning skills anymore—it was about setting triggers, like a master of ceremonies orchestrating a grand spectacle.
With a simple command, I could activate any skill or magic at will. For instance, I could declare, "In my voice, I have Persuasion Skill," and like magic, persuasion would weave its enchanting spell with every word I uttered.
But it didn't stop there. I soon realized that this power extended beyond skills to encompass magic as well. It was as if I held the keys to a boundless kingdom of possibilities, limited only by my imagination and creativity.
In the end, I understood that this skill was a treasure, only for who have High level of imagination and creativity can fully able to utilise it's maximum capacity and I'm very happy to say that This ability is in good hands,Hahaha....
As I was about to extra different techniques, Asta's entrance into the room was accompanied by a radiant smile, as if he carried the sun's warmth with him. His excitement was palpable, infectious even, as he shared his news.
"Hey, guess what?" he exclaimed, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. "I just asked Irish if she wanted to go out somewhere, and she said yes!"
The room seemed to light up with his joy, and I couldn't help but feel a twinge of happiness for him. After all, it wasn't every day that Asta found a moment of respite from his rigorous life.
"It's a date, right?"
BACK TO PRESENT
With a chuckle that bordered on madness, she responded,
"As expected of Brother-in-law."
"I'm going to take Ingrassia too."
Aoto's statement seemed to catch Irish off guard, her expression shifting from confusion to concern in an instant.
"Aren't we going to kill her father?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty. "What's the plan with taking her?"
Aoto offered a reassuring smile as he explained his strategy. "I believe someone is posing as the king," he began, his tone confident. "So, we'll confront him in front of Ingrassia. If the king is genuine, then we'll eliminate both her and her father."
After Irish's silent agreement, Aoto left the room, making his way toward Ingrassia's dormitory.
Ingrassia's quarters were conveniently located on the ground floor, just a short distance away. With a quick knock on the door, Ingrassia greeted him as she opened it, her expression expectant.
There was no need for lengthy explanations; Aoto had already briefed her on their mission to rescue her father. He simply informed her of the date they planned to visit the royal palace, which was tomorrow.
Their conversation lasted less than two minutes, with Ingrassia nodding in understanding before Aoto departed, heading back to his own dormitory to rest for the day.
NEXT DAY
Princess Ingrassia had already arranged for a carriage for their departure, and they had all obtained leave from today's classes.
The trio gathered outside the academy gates in the crisp morning air, right on time. Ingrassia couldn't help but feel a twinge of surprise at the sight of Irish; memories of their past encounters lingered, reminding her of how badly irish beaten her. However, she understood the necessity of having her as an ally.
Setting aside any personal feelings, they boarded the carriage together, ready to embark on their journey to the royal palace.
PLACE: ROYAL PALACE OF DARWITZ
The King of Darwitz sat alone on his imposing throne in the vast hall, his anticipation palpable as the silence hung heavy in the air. With a creak, the doors swung open, and a man bearing a document entered, his presence commanding attention.
"Your majesty, Did you issue an order to donate 100,000 gold coins to a no-name donation fund company?"
"And there's also an order to buy 100 women from the red-light district for your pleasure?"
The king, his voice laced with authority, responded, "So what? I'm the king. You just have to follow my rule."
He turned his gaze towards Clare the Saintess, seeking her opinion. "What do you think, Saintess?"
Clare chuckled mischievously as she replied, "Of course, a person should live life to their fullest."
The traitorous king couldn't help but chuckle as he contemplated his next move. "Hehehe... before anyone can find out that I'm not the king, I should destroy this country as much as possible."
With bold determination, the king issued another order. "You've made me upset. Now I'm issuing a new order: 200 women and donate 10 lakh gold coins."
The finance manager had no choice but to accept this rediculous order, But suddenly a voice echoed through the hall, his heart sinking with dread. Slowly, he turned to face the source of the interruption, his eyes widening in shock.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
At the door stood Princess Ingrassia, her presence commanding attention with an air of authority and determination. Flanked by Aoto and Irish, her companions bore witness to the scene, their expressions resolute and unyielding.
Behind them, the aftermath of their journey to the throne room was evident. Several soldiers lay strewn across the floor, their forms battered and bruised from the fierce confrontation. Each unconscious figure served as a testament to the ferocity with which they had fought to reach their destination.
Ingrassia's gaze pierced through the tension-filled air, her eyes ablaze with righteous fury. With a steely resolve, she demanded answers from her father, her voice resonating with a sense of betrayal and disappointment. The traitorous king could only stand in stunned silence, realizing that their deceitful schemes had finally been exposed.
But As the king's expression remained unchanged, an eerie sense of anticipation hung in the air, hinting at an unseen trump card waiting to be played. With a resounding clap, the atmosphere shifted, and the arrival of a towering figure commanded attention. Clad in crimson armor, the female knight stood tall and imposing, a silent sentinel of the king's authority.
Her voice, laced with authority and disdain, cut through the tension like a blade as she addressed Princess Ingrassia and her companions. The gravity of her words hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the group. Sensing danger, they instinctively took a step back, their defenses rising in anticipation of the impending confrontation.
With swift action, Aoto activated his Appraisal Skill, his mind racing to uncover the truth behind the enigmatic knight and the saintess at her side. Through the power of his skill, he pierced through the veil of deception, revealing the unsettling truth that both the female knight and Saintess Clare were ensnared by mind control.
Irish's keen intuition, fueled by dark magic, confirmed their suspicions as she detected the presence of a necklace, a sinister artifact binding them to the king's will. With their adversaries under the thrall of dark magic, the group realized that their only path to freedom lay in defeating them and shattering the chains of mind control once and for all.
With a sense of purpose burning in their hearts, the trio of warriors braced themselves for the impending confrontation. Aoto's directive rang clear in their minds as they each set their sights on their designated foes.
Irish, her dark magic crackling with intensity, squared off against the mind-controlled Saintess Clare, her determination fueling her resolve to free her from the shackles of manipulation. With a steely gaze, she prepared to unleash the full extent of her powers upon her holy adversary.
Ingrassia, her stance poised and ready, faced down the formidable female knight who stood as a sentinel of the king's will. With a silent vow to show no mercy, she steeled herself for the inevitable clash, her blade gleaming in the dim light as she prepared to confront her opponent head-on.
Meanwhile, Aoto, his eyes ablaze with determination, focused his attention on the traitorous king.
But before the battle could even start Aoto stood firm, his gaze unwavering as he faced the traitorous king, his resolve unshakeable even in the face of impending danger.
As the king's laughter filled the room, Aoto remained undeterred, his determination burning brightly within him. With a steely gaze, he listened intently as the king unveiled his plan, revealing the Saintess's authority to reverse summon those who had been brought into their world.
However, when the king turned to Clare to execute his command, a wave of disbelief swept through the room as Aoto remained unaffected by the magic intended to send him back to his own world. Even the king himself was caught off guard by Aoto's unexpected resilience.
With a knowing smile, Aoto seized the opportunity to reveal the truth. His laughter rang out defiantly as he declared that he had entered their world of his own accord, long before the Saintess had even summoned him.
In that moment, the tables turned as Aoto's cunning strategy exposed the king's deception, leaving their adversary stunned and vulnerable.
Saintess Clare was his trum card to face Aoto, but it became futile against aoto. Again they headed to their respective enemy's.

THE VERY NEXT DAY
A grand meeting convened within the opulent confines of the Throne Room at the Royal Palace, where ministers and royals alike assembled to conduct an investigation into the breach that allowed a demon to infiltrate so easily.
However, before delving into the intricacies of the investigation, a momentous announcement awaited. With a heart brimming with gratitude towards Aoto for his valiant act of heroism, the king bestowed upon him a title of unparalleled significance: the "Representative of the King." Endowed with nearly equal authority to the king himself, Aoto was designated as the presumptive heir to the throne, poised to ascend upon the king's retirement.
In addition to this prestigious title, the king arranged a union between Aoto and his daughter, Ingrassia, once they had completed their studies at the academy. Tokens of appreciation adorned Aoto's person as the king adorned him with medals and treasures befitting his valorous deeds.
Ever astute, Aoto leveraged his newfound authority to advocate for Irish Heartfilia's elevation to the status of a High-Class noble, recognizing her invaluable contributions to the king's rescue. Without dissent, the court swiftly assented, and Irish was duly promoted to the esteemed rank of High-Class noble.
As whispers of Aoto and Ingrassia's engagement rippled through the corridors of the academy, a myriad of reactions ensued. Some greeted the news with genuine delight, their faces adorned with smiles and their hearts brimming with joy for the couple's forthcoming union. They envisioned a future filled with happiness and prosperity for the two young lovers.
Yet, amidst the sea of well-wishers, there lingered those whose hearts harbored envy and resentment. Jealousy reared its ugly head, gnawing at the seams of camaraderie and festering in the shadows of discontent. Their eyes flashed with envy, their lips curved in sneers as they begrudgingly acknowledged the union that had sparked such fervent acclaim.
