Witch World.

Serena had finally returned to her world, specifically the tower she belonged to. The one standing in front of her was her master, an elderly witch, who had heard about her teacher and progress from her friend.

"It seems that you have worked very hard." She smiled as though she had known everything.

"No." Serena shook her head helplessly. Her expression soon turned serious as she looked her master in the eyes. "Master. I think I want to learn the secret technique of our tower."

"Hmm?" She raised her eyebrows, noticing something different from what she heard. But this was what she actually wanted from Serena. "It seems that sending you to that academy is not wrong. In that case, get some rest today and we'll begin tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master."

…

Cultivation World.

Li Wei had just gone back to his sect but had already started swinging his blade. His movement became sharper and more precise as though he could see everything around him clearly.

Even the master he had in this world couldn't help but ask, "Your movement is slightly different. In the past, you didn't seem to be interested in everything around you. But from what I can see, your swing shows your awareness of your surroundings. Not just their presence, but also their expression and position."

Li Wei nodded. "I have been thinking a lot. In this world, we're bound to make enemies in one way or another. While our family has a good reputation, we won't be immune from their revenge. I have been turning blind eyes to it the whole time, so I'd like to learn about everything. If making an enemy is inevitable, I want to choose my enemy. If death is destined, I wish to seek my own path. But for now… I wish I could be more aware of everything around me."

He couldn't help but smile, saying, "In that case, how about participating in the assembly once in a while? It will give you some insight."

…

Sword and Magic Realm.

Lancelot had just returned to his world and Baold was already waiting for him on the other side.

"Grandfather." Lancelot raised his eyebrows, not expecting that his grandfather would personally come.

"You've grown…" Baold smiled. Now that the trauma had been resolved, Lancelot's eyes looked more mature. "Did something good happen?"

Lancelot clenched his fists and stated with a solemn tone, "Grandfather. I wish to control my fire. While I'm still not confident, do you mind building a place for me to train?"

Baold didn't expect that Theo would manage to solve something that he couldn't. "Of course. Let's go back. Your mother and sister are waiting for you."

…

Aurora and Maya had returned to their own world. However, their conditions were a bit similar. Once they returned to their world, they sealed themselves inside.

Aurora had to tell Christina everything about the hotel incident. On the other hand, Maya had to search for parts. In the end, they didn't have anyone they needed to meet in order to express their desire to get stronger.

In a sense, their lives were a bit lonelier than the others.

On the other hand, Oliver and Jayden also received similar treatment. Oliver was blessed with an influential and wealthy family, but because of that, his parents were rarely home. Oliver often hid his loneliness with a video call with them.

Meanwhile, the reason for Jayden to be sent to the academy was because of his inferiority complex. In his house, he was less talented compared to his siblings. That was why his action in the academy was quite cold.

However, both Oliver and Jayden had changed after meeting Theo. Oliver might not have his parents without him, but he still received their support. Instead of crying because of the loneliness, he just had to become stronger until he was strong enough to share the burden of his parents. When that happened, his parents had no other choice but to look at him.

Jayden's inferiority complex had almost disappeared. He had witnessed a teacher with an overwhelming power but hid it the whole time. Even with the world ridiculing him, he didn't fall down.

So, Jayden would just continue improving without caring about others' opinions. Once he had to display his ability, it would be the time he shocked all of them and made a name for himself. At that time, his inferiority would disappear completely.

The twins had a bit more harmonious family. They returned and showed how they actually synchronized with each other. They even began to manipulate their barriers, similar to how a powerful spirit controlled their abilities.

In addition to the information representative Elaine gave, their family approved of Theo's method of teaching.

Haruka was in a different spot. Due to the last incident, there was an uproar in the Exorcist World. After all, a Disaster Grade Supernatural Being had begun to move.

The Kozuki House had learned what happened from Rintaro. They had realized the opportunity Haruka had and wanted to take advantage of it.

In the Kimura House, Haruka sat down on the floor, facing her parents.

"Haruka. The Kozuki House has formally requested to have you and the first son of the Kozuki House engaged. As the family head, I'm going to agree to it, so I'm informing you about your soon-to-be fiance."

Haruka's body trembled. She didn't expect that the Kozuki House would do something like this.

She had a lot of things to say. In fact, she wanted to reject the engagement.

However, she had been living in the house. The expectations from her parents, the way of her upbringing, and the conditions of the world had been haunting her the whole time.

Her timidity was actually the accumulation of those expectations. She had no choice but to agree because it was the best for the Kimura House and the world.

When her parents thought Haruka had no objection, she actually remembered what Theo said after that incident.

"Look at your classmates. They are able to fight above their ranks. You are my students too, so have confidence in doing it. You're timid, but not weak."

These words weren't just for a fight. It was to solve the way of her life. She understood their expectations of her, but she had misunderstood her timidity. As Theo said, she was timid, but not weak.

If the others were able to fight an enemy above their ranks, she should do the same. Instead of the rank related to combat prowess, it was the hierarchy within the family. In other words, for the first time in her life, she stood up for herself even if it was against her parents.

"I apologize, Father, Mother. Unfortunately, I can't do it."

"Hmm?" Her father furrowed his eyebrows. He was surprised, but more importantly, he didn't like that answer.

"If you think that the Kozuki House is worthy of me, you should reconsider it. I am not that weak." Haruka's expression became cold. "If I have to find a partner, I will do it myself. I am the daughter of the Kimura Family and I know my responsibility to this family. However, I will find my own way to bear that responsibility…"

"Haruka. You…" Her father raised his voice.

But Haruka abruptly took out a talisman from her pocket while releasing her essence. "My responsibility as the daughter of the Kimura Family is to bring greatness to the family. It doesn't state that I must become the doll that both of you control. Even if I have to fight it out today, I will show you that I can fulfill my duty without both of you choosing my path."

Just like Haruka, who had a unique problem once returned, Avalon had also decided to confront his grandfather.

As one of the oldest families in the kingdom, his grandfather held a big influence in the kingdom.

Before him, Avalon kneeled on one knee while stating, "Grandfather. If I say I wish to give the way to activate the Knight Link to an outsider, what will you do?"

"Hoh?" His grandfather squinted his eyes. His chair shattered into pieces from his grip alone, showing his control over his strength. "Your words are not light, Avalon. You should know that the Knight Link is the secret of this world. Once it's taught to the outsider, they can decipher it and even copy it. The moment this lord loses its uniqueness, we will no longer become the strongest in the physical body. Do you understand what you're saying right now?"

"I am aware." Avalon nodded with a solemn expression.

"But you still want to do it?"

"Yes, Grandfather. If we are the strongest in the physical body, why do we have to be afraid of others copying our ability?" Avalon asked.

"Did you listen to me?"

"I did. If the others could improve our technique, shouldn't we be thankful instead because our knights can also become stronger?"

"You don't know anything about the world."

"You are wrong. I might be ignorant, but I still know one thing. We are the strongest in terms of physical ability, but that title is for yesterday and today… What about tomorrow? When we're focusing on our achievement yesterday, the others are lowering their heads to seek improvement."

His grandfather looked surprised to find Avalon able to make a statement of this level.

Avalon stood up and said, "Even the strongest will be robbed of their title if they are not going to improve. I ask you, Grandfather… We are the strongest today, but which will we be tomorrow?"

He looked at Avalon, noticing his change. In the past, Avalon wouldn't bother himself with this and improved himself according to the knight's way.

But this time, he was looking for another way to improve. His vision had been broadened.

He asked, "Avalon! What does a knight mean to you?"

"A knight is strong, fair, and faces their problems head on. But to be strong, they have to be improved. If they want to be fair, they need the ability to fight injustice. If they want to face their problem head on, they require an unyielding will."

"It seems that I have underestimated you. To think that my grandson would be proposing something like this…"

"Grandfather… I might be straightforward, but I am, by no means, a fool."

"You said it yourself. In that case, let's settle it in a straightforward way." His grandfather grabbed the sword hanging on the wall. "Show me the meaning of a knight in your heart."

Avalon unsheathed his blade and pointed it at his grandfather. "I will show it that it will never change as long as our hearts remain the same."

The Knight Links appeared on their bodies as both of them suddenly disappeared.

…

While his students were handling their own problems, Theo was peacefully tying his daughter's hair.

Mia was wearing a rose-embroidered dress coupled with a skirt slightly above her knees. She still looked playful, but her appearance gave a sense of gracefulness.

On the other hand, Theo was wearing a white colored martial clothes and long silk white pants. He covered it with a graceful coat with a striped pattern. To match the world they were going to visit, Theo used the illusion to make his eyes slightly slanted and his hair long and smooth.

He tied his hair into a ponytail as he wore a smile that gave him a mature and gentle aura.

"Dad. Are we really going to do this?"

"Of course. You are the one suggesting this place, you know."

"But you told her that you wouldn't visit them."

"I told her that I wouldn't visit this place on a mission. I didn't say anything regarding our vacation."

"Hehehe. It seems that the next one month will be extremely interesting. I wonder how many young masters we're going to offend."

"Haha. We're not trying to seek problems. I don't want to add more enemies than necessary."

"But it's going to happen in one way or another. The author will definitely make it that way."

"That's true. In that case, let's see what the author has for us…"

"Yeah. Let's go!" Mia pumped her fists. "To the cultivator world."
