[Keltic_Spirit: 80% essence, will survive but partially recover enough to live a 'normal' life. There will be a trade off. That ends my report. As a reward, please give a hint to what you plan for the twins 'evolution'. Otherwise, be prepared to be tricked!]

[Random Passing Comment.]

[MoonThing01: I thought you would have inherited your wife's family name. Is that not the case?]

…

"80%, huh?" Theo muttered with a serious expression. "That's good enough for a condition that no one has ever seen before. Well, I have to thank you for giving me that information. For the hint… Let's see, you've been focusing on the combination power of the two, right?

"In that case, let me ask you a question. I have two teams. The first team's individual abilities are very low, but they have a strong bond with each other, allowing them to trust each other. On the other hand, the second team's individual abilities are extremely high, but they don't trust each other. They simply get together and form a group. Which one do you think will show better teamwork?

"For me, it's the second team. Why? If the first team fights a group of goblins, they will struggle on their own, forcing them to band together to kill one goblin. On the other hand, each member can simply kill several goblins by themselves, which ends up making it look like they're watching each other's back.

"So yeah, this time, the improvement is leaning toward their individual abilities. It's not like they're going to be together 24/7."

Theo then looked down and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about since it's coming out of nowhere. If you're talking about why I'm not getting the Mota family's name, it's simple. First of all, I chose a world with 'Theodore Griffith' that is extremely similar to my own in the original world. But for the Demon World, 'Grade' is more dominant than anything else. Me having Royal Grade means that I'm in charge no matter how bad it looks."

Now that he had replied the comments, Theo headed straight to the castle of the wall.

West of the Reiana Kingdom's capital city was a forest called Sylpth Forest. The Crimson Witch had made her own place inside a forest after Sylpth Forest.

Because of her, the forest changed its name to Blood Forest.

Theo was staring in the direction of Blood Forest from the top of the wall.

"Teacher! We are ready!" Aurora waved her hand while calling his name from the bottom.

Theo waved back, acknowledging her signal. However, he didn't go down immediately and head to the Blood Forest.

After all, he was waiting for someone.

As expected, a small circle of shadow moved independently and stopped behind him. The Darkness Witch suddenly emerged from the circle, looking at him with a serious expression. "You are a rather troublesome man, Mr. Theo. To think that you would ask the sovereign of this country like this… Do you think that I don't have any responsibility in managing my kingdom?"

"Hahaha. My apologies. I just want to see how important this Crimson Witch is to you."

"Of course she is very important." Meleida facepalmed while shaking her head helplessly.

"In that case, I have two good news and two bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?"

Meleida's expression turned grim. "In that case, let me make my day worse first by hearing the bad news."

"Even though I'm able to rescue your Crimson Witch, she might end up suffering some price. It might not affect her power, but it can be something else like her body… I mean, the weapon that I have to use to rescue her is a scythe." Theo paused for a moment before continuing with the second piece of information. "And apparently, there is a possibility that the 'price' comes from the outside, not related to the possession at all."

"!!!" Meleida widened her eyes. She could understand the first part, considering that they had considered her a lost cause. It was already amazing to be able to rescue her and retain her power. However, she definitely reacted negatively to the second one. "Outside? Are there any bugs trying to mess with my kingdom?"

"Who knows." Theo shrugged. "Onto the good news, I can assure you that she will 100% survive. And the second good news… Everything I told you just now was the worst-case scenario."

Meleida opened her mouth in surprise. The worst-case scenario, she fully understood what it meant. If this was the worst, the best would be the Crimson Witch returning to normal without losing anything.

What he didn't know was that Theo said those words to lock the 'outcome' of this battle. Mia might have applied the condition for the story, but Theo actually 'locked' it so that the author couldn't change the outcome anymore. After all, if the plot changed, it meant Theo had lied, which would break his rule.

This was a rather subtle way of applying his rule of not being able to lie compared to when he asked for a chapter about Agata.

"There you have it. I apologize for my rudeness, and I'm off." Theo jumped off the wall while activating his spirit, summoning his weapon.

Instead of a scythe, Theo actually summoned a sword.

"…" Meleida blinked a few times before asking out loud as she watched Theo dashing to the forest with his students, "I'm sorry, Mr. Theo. Didn't you say your weapon was a scythe?!"

"A certain 'creator' does a little trolling here and there. I've gotten used to it," Theo hurriedly replied. He should have said it vaguely instead of saying the scythe was for her treatment. The author couldn't have done anything if that were the case. Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Meleida chuckled even though she didn't understand what he meant. She just looked at the horizon and muttered, "Please rescue her."

Meanwhile, Theo gathered his students and said, "It seems that you have got your plans ready, Aurora, Luca, Lucas."

"Yes, Teacher!" Aurora and the twins nodded with a firm tone.

"In that case, I'll see how effective it will be. Don't forget that we're going to face countless blood servants."

"Don't worry." Luca pumped her chest.

"We have calculated it." Lucas nodded.

Aurora thought for a moment and said, "I will definitely not disappoint you this time."

Theo smiled. "In that case, I'll give you a lesson before we fight."

"!!!" They looked surprised because there was always a lesson like this whenever they had a mission. And this lesson would give them a big improvement if they understood it. The students rejoiced as they made sure to listen carefully.

"Alright. This is the lesson. Aurora…" Theo began guiding his students during the journey to the Blood Forest.
