“””T-t-t-the Ice Princess!?””” (Alfred and Co)
(Oops, the master got caught cheating~) (Fenrir)
(Fenrir, polygamy is normal in this world) (Reo)
(Please don’t make me more panic… Wait, it’s normal?) (Oz)
“U-um… Hi guys, this is the princess. Princess, these are my friends. We’re side by side neighbors, so she just visiting me as a neighbor,” (Oz)
“No, Ren, just the fact of a girl visiting a man’s room is weird enough, but this is the PRINCESS that visited your room! You could get killed by the queen if she knew it!!” (Albus)
“You’re exaggerating, it won’t be that dangerous….. right?” Oz started to worry when he saw the panicking face of the ice princess.
“Seriously? You’re coming here with my life on risk? Pay me for all of the tea you drink!” (Oz)
“Y-you’re the one who invited me to your room in the first place!!” The ice princess rebuked.
“R-Ren… You invited her to your room?” Edreale asked Oz with her usual indifferent face, but somehow, Oz could feel a sinister aura gushing out from her.
“Um… Edreale? Your eyes look dead, why are you looking at me like that? You’re scary! Miss Edreale!?” (Oz)
“Well, let’s stop teasing Ren here. Ren, I have something to discuss with you, I think it will be good if I discuss it earlier,” (Albus)
“You… You’re teasing me… Whatever, What do you want to discuss?” Asked Oz as he took other glasses for Albus and co and asked them to seat as he takes some chairs for them.
(Luckily the room’s as big as an apartment room) (Oz)
“Well, nothing will happen to you as long we don’t report it. By the way, I want to discuss to you about our plans in this school,” (Albus)
“Our plans?” (Oz)
“Yes, in this school, there is a system called the party system. The party system is a group system that similar to the adventurer guild, especially us, the special class, we will get a lot kind of missions and we’ll be tasked as parties,” (Albus)
“So?” (Oz)
“I want you to make a party for us, and be our party leader, Ren,” (Albus)
“All of you knew that I’m the only one that still at a master magician/swordsman rank, right? I don’t want to draw unnecessary attention from people for being a party leader of celebrities,” Oz refused.
“Even though being the only master magician in a group filled with sword saints and archmages are already makes you quite popular, though,” (Peter)
“Peter…” (Oz)
“He’s not wrong, Ren. We also knew that you have the most experience, knowledge, and leadership amongst us. And I admit that even though you’re one rank below me, you’re stronger than me, and I won’t stand a chance in a duel with you,” (Albus)
“You’re overestimating me,” (Oz)
“We don’t Ren, I also admit that you’re stronger than me,” Sen unusually admitted his lost.
“Even you Sen…” (Oz)
“Please Ren, I’m sure that with you, all of us have a bright future. There are a lot of things that we could do and learn from you, please help us,” (Albus)
“You won’t need me, even without me, I firmly believe that all of you will still raise and improve rapidly, and I believe that the academy will permit me on going solo,” Oz’s expression becomes a serious one.
“Ren, we knew each other for not that long, but all of us knew your prowess. Because we haven’t known each other for that long, we didn’t know each other that much, but one thing for sure, all of us have a goal, and we knew that we would be able to achieve it if we follow you,” Peter’s expression and tone are filled with confidence. He has a firm belief that Oz will be able to lead them to their goals.
“…………” (Oz)
(It’s true. I don’t know why all of them keep on sticking together with me when they enough power for themselves. And I don’t know their goals and motives for achieving strength) (Oz)
(Well, I guess having a party is going to be far easier than going on solo missions, huh) (Oz)
Oz let out a heavy sigh.
“Fine! I’ll be the leader! But I’m going to give you a harsh training okay!?” Oz forcefully accepted the position.
“””Yes!””” (Albus and Co)
“Um… I’m sorry if I intrude on your conversation, but may I join your party?” The ice princess suddenly joins the conversation.
“Why do you want to join our party?” (Oz)
“What? Am I not allowed?” (Ice Princess)
(Yes you don’t. I may not say that, huh. But seriously, this princess smells like trouble…) (Oz)
Oz couldn’t help but get a bad feeling that there will be a lot of problems that occurred if the princess joins their party.
“It’s fine princess, your name will splendidly increase our credibility,” Albus said with politely to the ice princess.
“Oi, isn’t I the leader? Why are you the one who accepts her?” (Oz)
“Yes, princess. It’s our honor to be in the same party with you,” (Alfred)
“It’s my honor too…” Said the princess with a satisfied smile.
“Seriously… What is the point of making me the leader then…” (Oz)
Oz and co chats for a little bit longer for another couple of hours, all of them decide to take a rest and buy some supplies for their rooms, while Albus submits the application of their party.
“Phew, finally I get some time alone. It’s been a long time since I cultivate, I mustn’t slack myself,” Oz sit crosslegged and take a deep breath, preparing himself to cultivate his mana rank.
Poof! Poof!
“Master, let us cultivate with you, we might help boost your cultivation,” (Fenrir)
“Really?” (Oz)
“Yes, we, spirits could boost the mana circulation of a mana cultivator. We could help you boost your cultivation, master,” (Reo)
“I see, then please help me, guys!” Oz starts concentrating while Reo and Fenrir jumped to Oz’s shoulders and concentrate their mana to help Oz too.

—Undead Great Necropolis, Undead Kingdom, South Side of Tarot Empire—
“Are you pleased with the undead kingdom, master?” Said the king of undead, Gareth to his beloved master.
“Yes, from all other kingdoms, the undead kingdom has the quickest construction rate and the greatest military power. The progression rate of the undead kingdom extremely pleasing for me, Gareth,” Said a skeletal figure that covered with an expensive robe, while holding a terrifying staff that has five skulls at the top of it.
“Indeed, but it won’t progress much if master doesn’t assist us,” Despite having a skeletal face, people could still feel that Gareth is in a very good mood as his master uses his undead clone to personally visit his kingdom.
“You praise me too much, Gareth. Setting that aside, you can now report everything to me directly,” (Lich Oz)
“You mean, to your lich clone, master?” (Gareth)
“Correct,” (Lich Oz)
“Than, should I give you my report now?” (Gareth)
“Yes, what reports do you have?” (Lich Oz)
“First of all, the construction of our undead kingdom had almost finished,” (Gareth)
“Splendid, that’s good news,” (Lich Oz)
“Thanks, master. While the construction had almost complete, as you instructed, we’ve prioritized the construction of the defensive buildings, lots of towers and magic towers had been made at the walls, all of the trap designs you gave us had functioned greatly, and by gathering the power all of the undead nobles, We’ve made the living graveyard that circles the kingdom,” (Gareth)
“Exactly like master’s plan, the graveyard summoned an endless horde of undead foot soldiers every time an enemy that holds a menace to the kingdom, or the empire appeared. And the undead foot soldier will go back to the seal when the enemies are dead. But the most special thing is when an undead foot soldier reaches a certain level, they will evolve to an undead guardian,” (Gareth)
“Interesting…” (Lich Oz)
“The undead guardian will continue to appear even if it dies, so we’re going to have more undead guardian if there are more enemies that attack us. The undead guardian has a great prowess, and each of them has a different form or type, but all of them have a superb commanding ability,” (Gareth)
“Good, how about the kingdom’s military?” (Lich Oz)
“We’ve formed the royal soldier, royal guard, and royal knight order just like your orders, master. And surprisingly, the battle training you gave us had boosted the soldier to unexpected length, a lot of the soldiers got ranked up because of it,” (Gareth)
“They rank up?” (Lich Oz)
“Yes, from what you explained to us before, you said that we could rank up when we continue killing monsters and raising our level to a certain length. But before, we never felt anything like having an increase of strength when we train or when we killed a monster like we experience after we submit to you, master,” (Gareth)
“I see, it means that the reason why all of you got to rank up much easier is because of my influence, that’s a new piece of information, goof job, Gareth,” (Lich Oz)
“Your praise is too much for me, master. Continuing my report, the undead that reached a noble rank will start having retainers and soldiers of themselves. So I decided to give bigger houses and lands to the undead with a higher rank, this system gives us much more military power,” (Gareth)
“Indeed, while the king had the absolute power and possess the royal soldiers, guards, and knights, the nobles will also help the kingdom as they need to protect their own territory too, a wise decision, any other reports, Gareth?” (Lich Oz)
“There is a strange thing that occurred to all of the undead recently, master,” (Gareth)
“Strange thing?” (Oz)
“Yes, all of the undead are starting to feel emotions and could feel a taste of food even though they are a skeleton,” (Gareth)
“Feel emotions? Taste food?”
