"So, August..."
"Your first task from me today is to understand the meaning of 'humility.'"
"Yesterday, Asuna and the others told me about the knights sent by the local lord to cause trouble at our shop. Go and show them what 'humility' means."
Medivh said, gently ruffling August's little head.
If it had been August before today, Medivh would have been very worried about him...
But today, August, who had learned dozens of ultra-magics from him, whose magic power had advanced before his eyes from near S-Class Mage to entering the threshold of a Ten Wizard Saints, and was developing towards a veteran Ten Wizard Saints, even the human limit, was already capable of dealing with any enemy on the Ishgar continent at this time, except for Acnologia, the Black Dragon, and Tartaros. There were no rivals before August.
"Yes, Father, I will teach them."
August said, and according to the direction Medivh pointed out for the Marquis's mansion, he used the Meteor magic Medivh taught him, transforming into a red light, flying into the sky at an even faster speed, and disappearing without a trace.
At the same time.
Inside the Marquis's mansion.
"Bastards! You dozen or so Great Knights can't even handle a little girl?!"
The Marquis, whose body was so obese that he could only sit motionlessly in his luxurious chair, roared in anger upon hearing that his knights had failed to deal with Medivh's magic item shop. He picked up a water glass nearby and threw it at the knights' heads.
"Bang!"
With a soft thud, a trickle of blood appeared on the knight's head where the water glass hit him.
A fierce glint flashed in the knights' eyes, but they ultimately endured it. As members of the privileged class, even at the lowest rung, they lacked the slightest courage to overthrow this damned system.
"Go and invite the Court Magician for me!"
"I'm going to kill that damned, oblivious magic item shop owner."
"Then tie up those little girls and have a good time with them~"
"Eh heh heh..."
The Marquis said, emitting an incomprehensible lewd laugh.
"No need. Father won't be coming."
"Someone like you would only defile Father's eyes."
Just as the Marquis was excitedly rambling, a cold, clear voice suddenly echoed in the opulent hall where he was located.
"Eh?"
"Who! Who's speaking?!"
Suddenly, the Marquis's face drastically changed in fright. The knights beneath him immediately drew their swords, surrounding the Marquis and guarding against everything around them.
"Me..."
In the sky of the opulent drawing-room...
A line of light began to twist, gradually forming a slender human figure.
That person was none other than August, who had come to teach the Marquis the meaning of humility.
At this moment, after learning about the Marquis's character, August had already decided that humility could not be taught to the Marquis, but 'relocation of the tombstone' could!
"Hahahaha..."
"A mere brat dares to speak so arrogantly?!"
"Knights, quickly seize him!"
After the Marquis clearly saw August's appearance, he burst out laughing...
He simply trusted the judgment of his own eyes. He believed that August's appearance could never deceive him; August was just a child!
His mind was very simple; he didn't even consider how August, if he were just an ordinary child, could have infiltrated his castle?!
At the same time, after the Marquis confirmed that the intruder was just a child, he suddenly laughed loudly and issued an order to the knights: "Go and capture that child for me! Don't bruise him! That child is so adorable; I want to cherish him well~"
Hmm, the Marquis, that old pervert, was attracted by August's cute appearance.
What did you say, August is a little boy?
Then he was even more excited.
"Let all of this disappear without a trace!"
August ignored the perverted old Marquis. He flew into the sky using Meteor and then used the True Heavenly Body Magic that Medivh had taught him.
"Where did that little boy go?!"
At this moment, the Marquis in the grand hall was still wondering about August's whereabouts.
Yes, he hadn't even seen how August had left.
"He turned into light!"
Some powerful knights gave the answer.
But they only saw August turn into light...
And then they knew nothing else.
"Find him for me!!"
The Marquis roared furiously; he could not tolerate the fact that the little lamb, already within his grasp, had escaped.
"Whoosh!!"
Unfortunately, before the Marquis could think further, their entire castle began to shake continuously for unknown reasons, and they heard the whistling of the wind.
"Earthquake?!"
At this point, the knights first protected the Marquis, then looked puzzled.
"My lord, run! It's a meteorite!"
Then, before the knights could think further...
The grand hall's door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.
An old man with an aged appearance, dressed impeccably in a swallowtail coat like a butler, shouted loudly towards the blob-like presence sitting on the luxurious throne in the hall.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, it was too late!
From the moment the meteorite fell, everything was leveled, and all returned to tranquility.
The entire Marquis's residence had completely turned to dust, disappearing into history.
This wasn't August's doing...
It was just a coincidence; heaven couldn't stand it anymore and sent a meteorite to the Marquis.
This was a divine punishment!
As the saying goes, those who commit many wrongs will perish by their own hands.
After August finished all of this, he quietly departed.
