Inside a dark room…

A man was resting on a sofa with a book on top of his face. He had a long brown coat with fur on its collar and a white long sleeve with its button undone underneath it. His long pants had star patterns carved on them.

In his hands, there were several rings around his finger and a pair of silver bracelets on his wrist.

This man was the leader of the Red Matter Association, Avron Hallsmein.

Avron suddenly snapped out of his dream. The book fell on the floor with a loud sound causing him to stare at it.

His forehead was covered in sweat and his breath was ragged. He massaged his temples, clearly remembering the content of his dream.

“That dream again…”

He stretched out of his and picked a black glasses on top of the table. Then, he took a bottle of wine before drinking it.

Gulp!

“Ugh! I…”

He was irritated. He always dreamed of what happened to him in the past and before of this, he couldn’t sleep properly.

It was a nightmare that he wanted to forget but at the same time, he couldn’t.

“I’ll take them down no matter what… Vandal, you wouldn’t be able to stop me this time.”

He muttered while gritting his teeth. He drank the wine again until he emptied the bottle.

Gulp!

Throwing the bottle on the side, he stood and approached the other table.

A grin formed on his face and it slowly turned into a laugh.

“Gararara!!”

He laughed like a madman.

“I’ll drag them down! This land! This place!”

Veins pop-up on his forehead as he stepped forward and stared at the window.

There’s a huge sparkling city outside the window. It was an underground city with countless people of different races living within.

“Everything will become clear soon.”

Souta and the rest of the Tenth Grain War had two hours to rest before they join the main force of the Third Set.

“What do you plan to do with your family, Sekma?” Souta asked Sekmet.

The rest of the members of the Blue Cross turned their heads and looked at her. They wanted to know her answer.

“I don’t know. Honestly, I’m not really close to them. They could go to another city or kingdom to build a household. I think that’s the best for them.” Sekmet said with a sigh.

“I don’t know what’s your parent’s attitude but they are nobles. I think they will use your name and your backing to set up a foundation.” Souta said.

“I’m not a great person in Athen’s Champion. Also, that’s not how it works in the legion. The legion will not support our family. You should know that.” Sekmet shook her head.

Of course, Souta know what she was talking about. Athena promised that she will give him a territory. But whether he could protect it or not, was all up to his abilities. If it was snatched by other people, the Athen’s Champion wouldn’t help him retake it.

The same could be said for other warriors that received territory and title as their rewards. The legion didn’t care if they wanted to build their own force or not as long as they remember that in the end, they belonged to Athen’s Champion.
