Hi, I’m the Hero’s Father ～I’m Sorry For All The Trouble My Foolish Son Has Caused You～

Chapter 77 The First Student Becomes a Master

After seeing Remi off, Wiel sat down next to Croix.

“You’re kind, aren’t you?”
“Aren’t I always?”
“Hehe, yes, that’s true.”

Wiel understood what Croix was thinking.
To assign a proper mentor to Alka and Sakya, who didn’t have one.
And not just any mentor, but Croix’s top disciple, who also used abilities and magic similar to Alka’s.
Moreover, it would strengthen the otherwise unstable team formation of Alka, Sakya, and Garnos.
Plus, Remi had experience fighting the Demon King’s army.
That was why Croix had sent Remi.
But Neptune seemed puzzled.

“Still, will they be okay?”
“They say a position shapes a person. Besides, this will be part of her training.”
“No, I don’t mean Remi, but rather your son.”
“He should be fine… I think.”

But he couldn’t say that with confidence.
Remi was rough, careless, and easygoing. No one knew this better than Croix.
Could someone like her properly train others…?

“Well, if it’s Alka, he’ll be fine.”
“Why are you so sure?”
“He inherited my blood strongly. That’s why.”
“What arrogance… I’ve fallen for you all over again.♡ Oof!?”

When Neptune tried to hug Croix, Wiel silently deployed a defensive spell.
Remi would handle things on Alka’s side somehow.
So, what Croix should focus on now was here.
Croix stood up, summoned another clone of himself, and approached the two.

“From now on, each of you will have two of me with you.”
“Show some guts, both of you.”
“Wha…?! N-Nooooooo!! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

“So, as per the orders from Croix, I’ll be tagging along as your mentor. I’m Remi. Nice to meet you.”

Remi, who had teleported to where Alka and the others were, introduced herself with a lazy tone.
It was so sudden that they were struggling to comprehend it.
But Alka realized that this was something that couldn’t be refused, given that it was an order from Croix.

“Oh ho ho, it seems things are about to get lively!”
“You’re awfully relaxed, Garnos.”

Was it because of his age and experience? Garnos remained calm even in the presence of the intimidating aura radiating from Remi.
Alka, who had managed to survive many deadly encounters, and Sakya, who had trained with Nax, were both recoiling under this pressure.
It felt like the density of her very soul was on a completely different level.

“Alka. I hear you can’t control the power of the Hero.”
“Uh, well… I guess…”
“Sakya. I hear you can use magic.”
“Y-Yes, to some extent.”
“Since I’ve been assigned as your mentor, I’ll be training you seriously. You better keep up.”

Her manner, her words, everything felt very much like Croix.
She had claimed they weren’t related by blood, but they seemed so similar that it was believable they could be siblings.
Then, Alka realized something. Even though she mentioned having special abilities, he hadn’t asked what kind they were. He should ask about that first.

“Um, Remi…”
“You idiot!”
“Oof!?”

He was hit hard.
Even though it was just a punch, the pain was incredible.
It wasn’t quite as bad as when Croix hit him, but it was enough to bring him down to his knees. Without the Hero’s power, he might have died.

“Call me either ‘Master’ or ‘Sis’!”
“Y-Yes…”

There was no way to defy her. That’s what Alka thought.

While Alka, still recovering from the damage, glanced over, Sakya raised her hand.

“Master, I have a question. What kind of special abilities do you use?”
“Good question. It’s something I’ve been able to use since birth… To put it simply, it’s the power of an angel.”
“…An angel?”
“Indeed.”

Remi slowly closed her eyes.

Immediately after, the density of Remi’s soul felt even stronger and thicker.

Sensing this utterly foreign presence, Alka and the others instinctively stepped back.

Within moments, Remi’s body began to glow.

Threads of light began to weave together, forming pure white wings on her back and a semicircular halo above her head.

In just fractions of a second, in the blink of an eye, she transformed into the very image of an angel as described in legends.
