"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."
