61.
After planning and putting together reports with bases and everything, he went to Naomi's office to tell her about the plans.
Naomi had given her the go-ahead, so Ren went to see Kara in her workshop to see if she could help him with her polar armor.

hey author.
(Yes)
why doesn't ren get into any political trouble with all those plans he makes? plus I don't think any jealous or envious nobleman doesn't want to screw him up.
(ah, well the matter is simple)
(She has the help of Naomi Hakuya, who since she was little was trained to be able to help her future husband in case he becomes emperor, but her sister got married first.
in other words, Naomi is a master when it comes to politics.
plus she has secret support from the Scarlett and Nakiri family.
It's not like she doesn't get into trouble, because of her way of being cordial to the academy staff and talking to the noble students as if they were ordinary people, and sometimes she even ratted out those annoying students.
Of course, houses from different places will want to disturb him.
only that later they discover the envoys of the house Scarlett and Nakiri who secretly take care of ren, they walk away with the bullet already bitten.
on the other hand, ren is not an idiot.
he checks all the rules of the academy before doing anything and makes sure in his plans to put plenty of escape routes.
When telling the plan to Naomi, Ren had made the plan very solid, of course in his mind and in our story we sound simple, but the truth is not, Ren put in the plan from escape routes to possible alternative problems in case something goes wrong.)
you sound like a very proud author.
(obviously, it was my creation)

Time had passed and there were only 3 days left for the ceremony.
everyone was moving, and everyone in the academy as well.
everyone was happy, a hero was born like their emperor 500 years ago.
it is a historic achievement.
the mark that confirms it is a tattoo on Kiriko's hand.
that tattoo not only allows an improvement of talent in swordplay, but it also allows and only leaves kiriko as the only one capable of being able to close the dark dungeons using his attribute of light in a better way, not only in magic but also in attributes it to his sword.
The tattoo is in the shape of the king's sword and is located on the back of the hand.
After the ceremony, Kiriko will wait to go on the first mission while he trains at the academy, and should leave after a month.
if the world found out about ren's attributes, that's what would have happened, of course also the countless future years of experiments on ren's body.
Right now, Ren is debating with Naomi about him not going on her mission alone.
"Could you repeat to me why I should take her?
- and I repeat it again ren, you can't go alone to that mission, besides.
Naomi said as she looked at the door, outside was the other student.
- the Scarlett house also needed to know, and they decided they would send Akane too.
"I understand why you told Miss Rose of your plans, she is her ally after all.
"My question is, why can't I do it alone?
- why always so needy to do things alone?
"...
"As Headmistress directs then, I will do my best to get Akane back as unhurt as possible.
- You shouldn't underestimate her, after all, Akane worked hard these 2 months to get stronger.
"I do not underestimate her, I say this because she does not know if she will be ready for what she sees there.
- I understand, but she must know the other side of the world, the walls outside the capital.
"As you like then, I will do as you order.
Naomi smiled sadly.
- don't be like that ren, I do this because later on, things will become problematic in All, and if she's not ready, that girl could die.
"She knows, but she trusted Naomi enough not to let that happen.
- I will do what is in my power to meet your expectations.
After doing a few more details in case they need to escape, Ren got up from his chair.
As he walked out, he heard Naomi's voice.
- you should not only make sure Akane doesn't come back with injuries but make sure you come back safe too.
"I'll do my best.
Once Ren came out, she saw Akane sitting on a chair as she touched her index fingers.
-Are you upset, sensei?
" No.
- Please sensei, I will make sure not to be a burden in dungeon cleaning.
"That's why I don't worry, it's about something else.
Ren stopped and couldn't help but sigh.
"he has...
Akane listens.
Akane stood up straight and looked at Ren.
"I have no problem if you come with me, but you need to remember 3 rules.
"The first is that you never separate from me if I don't order it.
"The second is to listen to everything I tell you, even if I tell you to jump off a bridge, you just do it, I'll know why.
"Third and most important, no matter what you hear around you, just watch my back, you don't need to think about anything else.
Akane nodded and made sure to study them on the plane.
the 2 went to the airport immediately.
Ren had left a clone, to stay in Naomi's office, he was dressed in finery for the ceremony in 3 days, after all.
ren is also a noble
They took an unnamed private jet.
They couldn't know that Ren and Akane would enter Duke Holland's territory.
to enter the territory there was not much problem, it is only to pay the indicated people that nothing is mentioned here.
it had been almost 1 month and a half since ren was here.
they were walking through the noble zone, Akane hooded since her hair stood out too much.
They went to Adela's hairdresser to get a dye.
Upon entering, Adela was the first to greet Ren with a bow.
- Good afternoon Master Ren, are you here for a haircut?
"Good afternoon Adela, I already told you that the teacher is not necessary.
- you are my eternal benefactor.
"I still don't know why, I didn't do anything.
Adela smiled and did not answer.
Ren sighed and pulled Akane closer and pulled a lock of hair out of the hood.
"You will have a hair dye to be the same as mine, but possible to remove it easily afterward?
- Of course, I have just the right one, follow me here miss.
Akane was nervous before, but seeing Adela's vibe, she reminded her a little of Aiko, the difference was that this girl had some fanaticism to Ren because of her look.
Akane smiled secretly, it seems that she found another comrade.
Ren, on the other hand, sat down and grabbed a newspaper, and began to read.
After Akane's haircut and territory character clothes for Ren and Akane, the 2 walked through the noble area to the common area.
Ren and Akane looked like a young couple.
Akane on the other hand was thinking about the girl Adela mentioned, she said that she was a student of Ren, and he really wanted to meet her.
Ren was walking towards the clandestine area you could tell, before continuing, Ren stepped in front of Akane.
"Akane, from here on out, just watch my back and ignore what the surroundings tell you.
Akane was confused as to why, but nodded anyway.
As she entered the clandestine zone, she understood what Ren meant.
everywhere people were asking for some coins, children, elderly and adults and they were extremely thin.
everyone asked, they looked like ants approaching the honey.
Akane didn't like this sight, she was too pitiful.
there was the occasional beggar in the capital, but nothing compared to this.
In the distance, she saw 2 children who were fighting over a piece of bread, holding it by the corners and pulling it.
Akane saw that bread all moldy and so hard that strength of 2 wouldn't break.
ren who was in front didn't even flinch.
Akane really wanted to take her bag of money out of her pocket and give it to these kids.
ren that I was going forward I just spoke.
"Remember rule number 3.
Akane remembered, she tried to play tough at this sight as she just stared at Ren's back.
Once they got to almost the end of the houses, Akane couldn't help but ask Ren.
-sensei, why didn't she give a coin to those people?
"We are on a mission Akane, you must concentrate on avoiding being spoken of as the saint who gives coins to the poor, because if you give it to one, another will come closer, and it will hurt you more and you will give it to that other, Then one more will come and then one more.
"If you're doing it to make yourself feel better, go ahead and do it, but do it after you finish the mission.
"Besides, there will most likely be carnage between them fighting if you give them coins.
Ren approached Akane, she had a slight tremor in her hands.
she sighed and she started stroking his head as she commented.
"You were strong Akane, after finishing the mission, I'll let you help people.
Akane, who felt Ren's touch, calmed down little by little, too bad it didn't last long because of a voice.
-Sensei!
Ren woke up and saw a girl already taller since she was well fed at this time, who was looking at them while she pointed her finger at them and teared up.
- Sensei, womanizer!
Kelly yelled before running as fast as she could.
Ren sighed at this 12-year-old girl and walked with Akane.
When they arrive at Bálder's house, the one who jumps to hug him like a child who misses his father is Kiyoshi.
he no longer looked as thin as when she found him, he looked fuller and somewhat fitter.
I look around, and the house had more things, it was still small, but it looked more homely.
in the cabin above, she saw a girl lying on her stomach hugging her pillow and crying.
Ren walked over to Kelly and gave her a comment to get up from her.
" nice legs.
Kelly was in shorts, she moved quickly to try to hit ren.
"So it was all an act to be able to surprise me huh?
Ren said as she blocked the fist.
-Adela already told me about that girl, does she have some kind of fetish with female disciples?
Kelly said as she used her foot to kick Ren
"It seems that your mouth has sharpened this month.
Ren said as she blocked her kick by aiming for her face, leaving them deadlocked.
While the teacher and student looked into each other's eyes, applying force, neither wanted to lose.
they heard a sound of something breaking behind.
The 2 still in that position saw Balder behind with what appeared to be holding a plate.
When Balder saw Ren, he went to thank him while he teared up.
he was very grateful to ren, even more so.
In this month, every now and then he was being searched by the white fang people, his ren spies reported the days when they were more frequent and diverted the attention of his members.
thanks to that, Balder could be calm when he worked in the stock market.
also with Kiyoshi, he received classes from one of the spies, named Kevin.
Kevin came 3 times a week, to teach Kiyoshi as much as possible.
the clone died recently, almost found out.
received one last encrypted message that only Kiyoshi could read.
the message said.
- please give this to my king.
along with many reports of what he was able to achieve.
Kiyoshi wanted to check it, but there was also the first message before he opened it.
- Don't check Kiyoshi, this is too strong for you.
Balder thanked the clone, he thought he was Ren's spy, but he didn't know about clones.
Ren smiled as he comforted Kiyoshi about his new friend.
after an introduction from Akane, who was looking directly at Kelly when she introduced herself.
Kelly returned her gaze fearlessly as well.
While the 2 ladies stared at each other, Ren was with Kiyoshi, watching his progress on the laptop.
now Kiyoshi could fully hack computers, he could bypass cameras and wiretap communications.
he still couldn't do something as advanced as getting into the duke's web, but it was only a matter of time.
He checked the white fang reports, and this clever clone left a USB for the main headquarters computer.
if he inserts it, it will turn off all communications from the headquarters.
Ren marveled at this, thanked Kiyoshi, and went to Balder.
Balder only replied to Ren that he had gotten enough so that there would be no money problems later.
Ren walked over to Kelly who was still looking at Akane and patted both of them on the head.
they had to move on the night of the kiriko ceremony.
they would have 3 more days after that.
Since they had worn leather masks before getting off the plane, no one should know about them.
so he let Akane get to know each other while she planned the aftermath with Kiyoshi, and in the process saw what she learned.
3 days later, Ren left Akane and Kelly to prepare for his return and left for headquarters.
he located himself in an abandoned bunker and began the operation taking advantage of the fact that everyone should be in the news watching the kiriko ceremony.
