The connection between Ted Redymer and Labin Hawk started a very long time in the past.
It was across the time Ted first enrolled in Rosenstark Academy.
So, its the story that occurred proper after the Mercenary Corps Annihilation Incident that I noticed within the Library of Reminiscences.
At the moment, it was a interval that was actually known as the darkish age of humanity.
The Demon Kings military had swallowed half of the western continent, and the remaining half was as precarious as a candle within the wind.
A corrupt royal household.
A merciless emperor.
Incompetent bureaucrats.
Rosenstark was additionally influenced by this, and it was rotting away in a totally completely different approach from now.
Ted stated he was discriminated towards so much when he first enrolled too.
His background as a mercenary was an issue.
After all, there was nonetheless an environment of ignoring commoners, but it surely was worse then.
Even the professors brazenly discriminated towards him.
Although all of them knew Teds expertise, they didn’t train him correctly, however somewhat uncared for him for concern of upsetting the kids of different nobles.
The professors who didn’t even give him the chance to develop his expertise.
There have been additionally individuals who known as Ted, who was fearless though he was a commoner, a bastard and ostracized him.
However then.
There was one one that got here ahead to show Ted
It was Labin Hawk.
Even then, Labin was a pressure to be reckoned with.
Though he had not but gained as a lot affect as he does now, it was because of the truth that he was the eldest son of a prestigious household and had a large community of connections and excellent abilities.
If he hadnt been injured and retired at a younger age, he would have been a hero as well-known as Zion.
His capability might be seen from the truth that he maintained the highest spot within the Unir analysis with out fail till I got here to Rosenstark.
When Labin, who was like that, took off his sneakers and stepped as much as information Ted, the discrimination surrounding Ted progressively pale.
In different phrases, Labin was the instructor who paved the way in which for Ted to completely take part within the academy.
If it hadnt been for him, the formation of the Daybreak Knights would have been even later.
The predecessor of the Daybreak Knights was a sort of membership that Ted shaped at Rosenstark.
Its not for nothing that the remark Ted left stated instructor.
Labin additionally typically appeared within the reminiscences saved within the Library of Reminiscences.
He refined Teds swordsmanship, which was tough as a result of he had by no means been correctly skilled, and instilled in him varied methods and techniques.
Above all, he all the time inspired him.
One of many explanation why Ted was capable of change into a revered chief by his colleagues sooner or later will need to have been Labins affect on the time.
Trainer and his favourite pupil.
However when he truly met Labin at Rosenstark, Labin hated Ted very a lot.
The rationale why the connection between the 2, who had been so good, was ruined was
Ah.
I ended strolling as I considered that far.
Earlier than I knew it, I used to be in entrance of Labins workplace.
I arrived rapidly as a result of it was proper subsequent to my workplace.
Its already this time.
The autumn solar units early.
Although it was previous meal time, the hallway was darkish.
I might really feel Labins presence inside.
Knock knock-
I knocked on the door.
Are available in.
We had an appointment.
.
.
.
Labins workplace was precisely what the hero had anticipated.
Darkish grey wallpaper. Furnishings with easy traces was neatly organized.
Its darkish.
Behind the desk the place Labin sits, there was a big window, but it surely was lined with thick curtains.
Because of this, the one supply of sunshine within the workplace was a small lamp on the desk.
The heros eyes narrowed barely.
Alcohol?
An virtually empty bottle of whiskey was positioned subsequent to neatly organized paperwork.
Though it was sturdy whiskey, there have been no snacks in sight.
Click on-
Labin picked up a glass with ice and a pumpkin-colored liquid.
Although the hero entered the workplace, Labins gaze didnt go away the framed image leaning on the desk.
Gulp-
One other sip.
The hero spoke first.
If Im disturbing you, In poor health come again later.
No, keep. Sit there.
Inebriated, Labin was barely much less aggressive than typical.
He even took out one other glass from the drawer and positioned it in entrance of the hero.
In response, the hero took out walnut cookies he purchased from the bakery on the way in which.
Professor Labin Hawk, it appears he has a desire for walnut cookies. In response to the receipt, he has been shopping for walnut cookies from the identical bakery for a number of weeks in a row.
It was info supplied by Sergei, the janitor doll.
Labins grim eyes turned in direction of the hero.
Your reminiscence remains to be good.
Apparently, Professor Labin mistakenly thought that the hero remembered his college days and acquired walnut cookies.
Labins expression softened barely.
Good.
The hero internally celebrated.
The ambiance was higher than anticipated.
In truth, he already knew that Labin didnt merely hate Ted.
Though Labin appeared to impress him on trivial issues, each time different professors tried to undermine him, Labin typically intervened.
If I do nicely, I would get correct assist.
It could be good to proceed the small speak to enhance the ambiance.
The hero appeared round for clues and inadvertently glanced on the body Labin was .
That was a mistake.
Or was it due to the previous reminiscences that got here flooding again like a tidal wave?
Labins eyes had been completely different from what he had been dealing with for the previous few months.
He had by no means skilled this earlier than however Ted would absolutely know these eyes.
The previous mans mushy voice echoed by means of the workplace.
Come to my private coaching floor tomorrow morning.
The hero raised his head.
He appeared on the previous professor who was refilling his glass with that remark that had come out of nowhere.
Understanding of Ted Redymer deepens.
Understanding Degree: 78/100 -> 80/100
The hero emptied his drink with out a phrase.
.
.
.
.
After the hero left, Labin flipped the body again over.
The lady, whose traces may very well be discovered all over the place on his face, was smiling brightly.
Dahlia.
Labin took out a brand new bottle of whiskey from the closet.
He didnt have sufficient alcohol as a result of he had shared a couple of glasses with the hero.
It could be troublesome to go to sleep this fashion.
Labin appeared on the seat the place the hero had been sitting, holding his refilled glass.
In truth, he didnt assume that his daughters loss of life was solely the heros fault.
He additionally knew that his resentment in direction of the hero was unreasonable.
However the ache of dropping a toddler was too nice to be solved by purpose alone.
What if
What if.
It was the phrase that had been lingering in his thoughts for the previous ten years, fueling his resentment in direction of himself and the hero.
What if he had taught Dahlia the best way to be intelligent and egocentric?
What if he had pretended to not see when Ted was a freshman?
So Ted grew to become the sunshine a bit late.
Then possibly Dahlia wouldnt have been captivated by the sunshine a bit late.
Perhaps she wouldnt have participated within the battle led by the inexperienced Ted.
How petty.
Gulp-
Labin emptied his glass in a single breath.
The alcohol immediately pulled the reminiscences of the previous in entrance of him.
Naaaeaeae!
The sight of a child crying along with her eyes barely open.
Papa papa.
A toddler toddling and laughing innocently.
Dad! I received into Rosenstark! Please give me particular therapy!
The ladies face as she teased him, saying that she had succeeded in her academy life.
Dad, Im going with Ted. Im going to struggle for salvation the way in which he leads. After all, Im mendacity if I say Im not scared however I discovered from you, Dad, to reside so coolly!
The alcohol took over the previous man.
Because the hero returned to the academy as a professor, Labin had been swept away by complicated feelings a number of occasions a day.
Despicable and resentful.
The pit of his feelings was not crammed in any respect.
Besides, Labin couldn’t refuse the heros request.
If the explanation he was taking over a rematch with Zion was for his personal glory and honor, he would have refused it outright.
However.
As a result of this duel will probably be useful to my pupil.
The younger hero childhood and the mature hero who was now sitting silently within the workplace had been overlapping.
The hero was his pupil, in any case.
A pupil he as soon as cherished and cherished essentially the most.
That pupil had change into a instructor and was asking for assist for his personal pupil.
He couldnt refuse.
That will be no completely different from denying Labins total educating profession.
Ugh.
Some wine was left within the glass.
[PR/N: He already finished the whiskey and is now drinking wine, makes me wanna drink too ngl.]
However for some purpose, Labin didn’t empty the glass.
Staring on the glass along with his puffy eyes, he quickly stood up from his seat with a sigh.
He had an appointment early tomorrow morning.
Its higher to be sleep-deprived than to overdrink.
Labin stuffed the remaining two or three walnut cookies into his mouth in a single breath and left the workplace.
* * *
The hero arrived at Labins private coaching floor earlier than the solar even rose.
However the previous professor was already ready for him, sitting cross-legged within the middle of the coaching floor.
Strolling in direction of Labin, the hero thought.
It is a new feeling.
Prior to now, studying from somebody was no completely different from every day life.
Even after he began being a stand-in, he would typically practice with Ted within the hideout.
However since he got here to Rosenstark, he had all the time been within the place of educating.
The one time he had been taught was when he realized the Infinite Formulation beneath Laplace.
However even that was principally a means of brute-forcing it along with his physique, so it felt extra like he had realized it for himself than discovered it.
Thud-
The hero stood earlier than Labin.
To be taught from Teds previous instructor
To be trustworthy, it might be a deceive say he wasnt wanting ahead to it.
So the hero waited with a pounding coronary heart for Labins first lesson.
His mouth slowly opened.
Get down in your arms and knees.
[TL/N: Is he going to spank ted??!!!??]
