"You are Wave?"

Looking at Wave, who was kneeling on one knee before him, Mika asked with a gentle smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Hearing Mika's question, Wave kept his head lowered, not daring to look up.

He never imagined that someone like him, from a small place, would catch the Emperor's eye and be summoned to the palace for a personal audience.

At this moment, Wave was extremely nervous.

"Don't be anxious. I've read your file, and to be honest, I think highly of you."

Leaning leisurely on the throne, Mika said with a smile.

He wasn't deceiving Wave; Mika genuinely thought highly of him.

After all, he was the first person in this world who could wield two Teigu simultaneously.

His uniqueness might even surpass Tatsumi's.

"So I've decided to place you under General Budo's command to learn the art of military leadership from him. Make sure you study diligently!"

"Yes! Thank you for your favor, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that the Emperor planned to assign him to General Budo, Wave became excited.

After all, that was General Budo!

Serving under General Budo meant he would surely make a name for himself in the future.

Such recognition was an unexpected blessing for Wave.

"Good, I'm glad you're pleased."

Mika nodded with a smile, then continued, "By the way, Minister Mellie should have informed you about temporarily handing over your Teigu."

"Yes, I have already handed my Teigu over to Minister Mellie," Wave replied earnestly.

He had no objections to Mellie temporarily reclaiming his Teigu.

Though Teigu were powerful, the Empire was even more so!

Originally, Teigu were granted to them by the Empire and could be reclaimed at any time.

Wave had no intention of keeping the Teigu for himself.

Besides, it's not that Wave was overconfident, but there were very few people in the entire Empire who could be recognized by a Teigu.

If there were many, those Teigu wouldn't have fallen into the hands of a countryside youth like him.

They would be in the hands of generals like Budo, making military achievements on the battlefield and revitalizing their families.

It was precisely because the big figures couldn't use them that these weapons fell into the hands of people like him.

Therefore, Wave wasn't worried at all about his Teigu being taken away.

"The reason for temporarily reclaiming your Teigu isn't just about you; all the Teigu users summoned from the provinces to the capital are being treated the same way."

"The reason is that there's currently a master craftsman in the capital who can study the Teigu to replicate the techniques used in their creation."

"So you don't need to worry about the Teigu. Just focus on studying during this time, and when it's time for you to act again, your Teigu will be returned to you."

"Yes, I will obey Your Majesty's command."

Wave responded loudly.

"Your Majesty, General Budo has arrived!"

After Wave's response, a servant outside the hall entered and reported to Mika.

"Let him in!"

Mika said immediately.

Then he turned to Wave and said, "What a coincidence; I have matters to discuss with General Budo. I can introduce you to him now."

"I will definitely learn well from General Budo."

Stepping back to the side of the hall, Wave responded promptly.

Soon, General Budo, who had been summoned by Mika, entered the hall.

He was the same as always, sincere and loyal.

He walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and asked, "What does Your Majesty require of me?"

"I have two matters to trouble you with, General Budo. One is a minor issue, and the other is an important affair."

"Please instruct me, Your Majesty!"

Hearing that there was an important matter, General Budo's expression became serious.

"First, the minor issue: This outstanding young man is a soldier originally from the navy and also a Teigu user. I wish to entrust him to you for training so that he can become an even better general."

Hearing Mika's words, General Budo looked at Wave.

"A Teigu user from the navy? Indeed, the capital currently needs Teigu users from all over to fill its ranks. Your Majesty's idea is excellent."

"I will educate him well and make him an outstanding soldier."

General Budo said earnestly.

"Thank you, General!"

Hearing that the Emperor and General intended to train him to become a general, Wave became extremely excited.

Acknowledging Wave's gratitude, General Budo nodded slightly and looked back at Mika.

"As for the important matter..."

"General Esdeath is returning!"

"What!"

Hearing Mika's words, General Budo couldn't help but exclaim.

"Why is she returning so soon? It's only been a few months since she set out!"

"Well, I heard she wiped out hundreds of thousands of soldiers in an instant; it's scary!"

Hearing the Emperor's admiration, General Budo couldn't help but shake his head.

He knew very well that although he and Esdeath were both considered the Empire's strongest, if they were to fight, he would definitely not be her match.

"So, what is Your Majesty's intention?"

Looking at Mika on the throne, General Budo asked seriously.

"General Esdeath's military achievements this time are truly astounding. By rights, it wouldn't be excessive for me to personally go outside the city to welcome her."

General Budo couldn't help but nod.

With such accomplishments, even in the entire history of the Empire, Esdeath's achievements are among the top.

For such a commander, it was reasonable for the Emperor to personally go outside the city to welcome her.

This would be an excellent way to win people's hearts.

"That is inadvisable. Your Majesty's age and health are not suitable for leaving the palace."

General Budo said earnestly.

"I think so too."

Mika said with a light smile, "I know it's not suitable for me to leave the palace, so I hope you, General Budo, can go outside the city on my behalf to welcome General Esdeath and also reward the returning soldiers."

Hearing Mika's words, General Budo was momentarily stunned, then earnestly replied, "I will obey Your Majesty's command!"

"Glad you agree, General!"

"Then please take Wave with you and prepare. General Esdeath will arrive in the capital in the next couple of days; I think you need to make some preparations!"

"Yes, I will take my leave!"

With that, General Budo left the hall with Wave.

"Still as decisive as ever!"

Watching the disappearing figure of General Budo, Mika couldn't help but shake his head.

Then he removed the headband-type Teigu 'Spectator' from his head.

General Budo hadn't seen this Teigu.

After all, Mika had been shrouded in Mellie's illusions earlier!

"Sigh, it has come to this after all?"

After General Budo and Wave had left, looking at the empty hall, Mika couldn't help but sigh.

Playing with the 'Spectator' in his hand, Mika's face showed a serious expression.

"So, did you see something you didn't want to see?"

Emerging from the mist, Mellie looked curiously at Mika sitting above.

"General Budo has seen through us after all!"

"Although we've acted quite convincingly, we're ultimately different people. Besides, we have things to do; we can't really behave like the young Emperor and play around every day."

"So even if we've been exposed, it's not surprising."

With that, Mika tossed the 'Spectator' in his hand to Mellie.

He wanted her to give this Teigu, along with the others, to Gabriel.

"So, you deliberately sent him to welcome General Esdeath?"

Playing with the 'Spectator' in her hand, Mellie continued to ask.

"That's right. Since I know he has seen through my identity, I can't let him continue lurking in the dark, so I gave him an opportunity."

"An opportunity to interact freely with General Esdeath."

"If he can persuade General Esdeath to take action together, then we can deal with them directly, preventing her from hiding in the shadows and opposing us."

"Drawing the snake out of its hole?"

Mellie nodded slightly.

"But are you confident in dealing with these two strongest in the Empire at the same time? You know, General Esdeath is someone who can pacify hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant."

"Her strength is incomparable to others!"

Mellie's expression was very serious.

When she saw Esdeath's achievements, she couldn't remain calm.

Such strength would be top-tier even in Orario!

"At that time, you and Airmid can handle General Budo and the other small fry; as for Esdeath, leave her to me!"

Looking at the distant sky, Mika couldn't help but sigh.

"I can't wait for this intense confrontation!"

Clenching his fist, Mika's mouth curled up slightly.

After this period of improvement, Mika's Falna had, over time, reached the limit of Level 4.

Having participated in the Balor subjugation, he didn't lack the experience needed to level up.

Therefore, Mika had now completed his advancement, becoming a first-tier adventurer in Orario.

That is, Level 5.

"Esdeath, huh? As the first opponent after my breakthrough, she's a perfect match."

Mika suddenly looked forward to the upcoming battle.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

Standing on a high platform, watching the blacksmiths below forging weapon embryos, Mika's mouth curved into a slight smile.

These people were talents Mika had previously asked Mellie to select from the army.

They all had similar backgrounds: they could forge.

Some were even blacksmiths in the military.

The reason Mika had gathered these people was for his future plan to build a forging world.

In the future, this place would be the logistical world for the Yahweh Familia.

They would receive an endless supply of weapons and equipment from here.

Mika was very optimistic about this future.

After all, even Gabriel couldn't forge top-tier weapons for him.

In the world of Orario, blacksmiths could create various divine weapons due to the combination of forging skills and the development ability 'Forge.'

It was by relying on this development ability that they could grant various abilities to those weapons.

But Gabriel didn't have the 'Forge' development ability.

So no matter how exquisite her forging skills were, it was impossible for her to forge top-tier weapons.

The storage equipment she made before was a magical item created based on magical knowledge and using Danger Beast materials.

In fact, it was no different from Teigu.

After all, Teigu themselves were weapons crafted by human hands using materials from Danger Beasts and rare metals, combined with incredible techniques.

It was this miracle that gave Mika the idea to build this world into a forging world.

This world had such potential.

"How is the development here?"

Hearing Mika's inquiry, Gabriel explained: "These people study combat techniques in the morning and forging skills in the afternoon; the two don't conflict."

"After obtaining information about this world, I found that Enhancement here is essentially a technique to develop one's potential, which fits perfectly with the Falna."

"After summarizing and refining it, I created a Development Method that perfectly fits the Falna, called the [Heaven-Mending Method]'"

"By Developing this method, even the slowest practitioner can raise their Falna to the limit in just ten years."

"Then they can find ways to achieve [Godhood]."

After hearing Gabriel's explanation, Mika was surprised.

"Ten years? Isn't that too long?"

"Ten years is not long at all, okay?"

Gabriel couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"I said ten years is for the slowest practitioners!"

"You know, Progressing has always been a game played by the Talented. Take Orario as an example."

"Who is the slowest to level up in Orario? Don't know, that's too many."

"Some people wander in the dungeon their whole lives and can't reach their limit, but geniuses like the Sword Princess only need a year."

"One year equals a lifetime for others. Do you still think ten years is long compared to that?"

"I see, I understand now!"

Mika suddenly realized.

Indeed!

"In that case, establishing this world as the logistics base for our Yahweh Familia will take a long time!"

"But it will all be worth it!"

Mika nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly asked Gabriel, "What about those hundred sets of equipment?"

"They're already completed!"

Hearing Mika mention those hundred sets of equipment, Gabriel couldn't help but twitch her eye.

After all, this task of making a hundred sets had kept her busy and dizzy for the past two days.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have been exhausted to death!

"Thank you for your hard work; after all, the matter is urgent, and I really need these equipments."

Seeing Gabriel's unpleasant expression, Mika immediately expressed his apology.

Hearing Mika's words, Gabriel's expression gradually returned to normal.

"I heard about your plan from Mellie; just go and make a big scene!"

"Will do!"

Mika said with a happy smile.
