– You’re doing better than I thought.

After 4 hours of short training, Ren finished the training with a very happy expression.

Previously, when learning swordsmanship, he had always been beaten up every time, but unexpectedly, Ren had the talent of an assassin.

It was because he quickly absorbed what he taught him about ghost magic.

– That power called spiritual power goes very well with ghost magic.

“Doesn’t ghost magic use spiritual power?”

– But the texture is similar. If I had such spiritual power, I might have become stronger than I was in my prime.

“Is it that good?”

– Yes, you were a timber that should have been an assassin, not a prosecutor.

“I like being a prosecutor.”

– Tsk, if you became an assassin, you would have become the best assassin like me.

“Then won’t you regret it like this after you die?”

– … … That’s right.

It was clear that his colleagues were probably worried because he had spent a longer time here than expected.

Now I had to go back slowly.

– There are many things I haven’t taught yet… … . Tsk.

“Or would you like to come with me?”

– Are you going to carry this coffin? done. Do you know how heavy this is? And I have no intention of leaving this place.

There must be a reason why the tomb was built with such care in the shabby building of Abitrari.

Ren suddenly became curious about his situation.

– I had a child. He’s dead now, but that’s where his mother lived.

“I didn’t know you had a family.”

– Not now… … . Anyway, I don’t really want to leave here. You learned a lot, but because you used 3 return spells, there are some things you learned quickly. It’s still very clumsy, so definitely come here again.

“All right.”

– And keep training. Talent is more important than anything else in Assassination, but there is nothing that can achieve results as quickly if training is supported.

“thanked. Master.”

Ren bowed his head and bowed to him.

It was a chance encounter, but Col Ross was clearly his mentor.

Cole Ross looked at Ren’s back, who was getting farther and farther away, and smiled happily.

– I hope the day will come when my name can be heard here.

* * *

Upon returning to the lake, the colleagues who were waiting for Ren greeted them with surprised eyes.

“Where have you been! I was worried!”

“I heard something happened during the night.”

“Do you know how worried I was about being kidnapped by that monster?”

“Sorry, I had something to do so it took me a while.”

Ren had to work a little to alleviate the trio’s worries.

“Len?”

“Uh, I… … .”

Evan scratched his head with an embarrassing face and hesitated to speak, but Rayman shook his head and spoke instead.

“I want to play against the shooter.”

“ah?”

“ah! Please do it just once!”

Hearing a voice full of determination, as if he were asking for some kind of huge request, Ren agreed with a blank smile.

“Follow me.”

Sparring is everywhere in this lawless city.

The same goes for the inner zone.

It is said that it is managed, but it is not comparable to a city with good security, but it is limited to Abitrari.

Not to mention, other cities also have gaps in public security.

Passing between buildings and reaching a back alley, people are suddenly cut off.

Going further forward, an abandoned vacant lot appeared.

A place littered with trash and junk. However, it is very suitable for fighting regardless of the surroundings.

‘It just went well.’

It is the perfect place to test out the ghost arts taught by Master Cole.

It’s a bit unreasonable to use it when facing a high-ranking knight head-on, and it’s perfect if it’s a lieutenant-level knight, but Evan’s skills are about that.

“I will go.”

“okay.”

Tadada dat!

Evan rushes by pushing off the bottom.

Rather than wielding it recklessly, it is the intention to launch an active offensive from the point of view of sewage.

Kang! Kang! Kang!

Receiving the attack, Ren looked for an opportunity and swung his sword upward.

Whoo!!

Evan, who was blinded by the strong wind, lost sight of Ren.

‘no… … ?’

He quickly moved his gaze to find Ren, but in a fight, even that fleeting moment is fatal.

“Ugh.”

Evan’s blade swung in an unstoppable trajectory, and Ren brought the sword to his throat.

“I lost.”

“Shall we do it one more time?”

He opened his eyes at those words and nodded vigorously.

“Wait! Let me do it too! Doing only Evan is discrimination!”

“Yeah, you too. As the two of you take turns, no, let’s attack together.”

In a head-to-head confrontation, the efficiency of the fight increased more than I thought by using demon skills.

I wonder if it made it easier to create opportunities and land blows.

“You two?”

Evan looks at Rayman with a disgruntled look.

“Ha, I can’t do it with a guy like this!”

Rayman also twitched his lips and shook his head.

“If the two of you come together, you can do a little, right? why? Are you afraid that the two of you won’t be able to? Or were you scared?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

At the last word, both of their expressions changed completely.

‘Yeah, can you guys tell me anything?’

Ren laughed inwardly. Because I already knew that the two of them had no choice but to accept it.

“You do it right.”

“You are. Don’t get in the way.”

The two drew their swords.

Ren raised his index and middle fingers and flicked.

“Come on.”

* * *

The Dalian ended more briskly than expected.

The key to ghost magic is to eliminate the presence and erase the presence so that the other person does not notice.

What I learned was that the realm of talent was the most important part, and I had a great talent for that.

And when this was applied to the fight, both Rayman and Evan would end up flustered without being able to properly deal with it.

“Is this Argen swordsmanship? However, it was completely different from the Argen swordsmanship I experienced! No, it seems similar… … .”

Evan’s face looks confused.

It was only natural that if he had seen Arjen’s swordsmanship, the difference would have been clearly felt.

“Because I’m not using the Argen swordsmanship.”

“yes… … ? Ah, the reason why you said it wasn’t Arzen… … .”

“Yes, I did not learn Argen swordsmanship. It’s just that my path and Arjen’s path may overlap.”

“… … Are you pioneering a new swordsmanship yourself?”

He looks at me with wide eyes.

Yes, I’m not even very impressed with misunderstandings that I’m experiencing so many times now.

“Think whatever you want.”

“Huh… … . After all, is Argen’s blood different? Or are you more special?”

“Our shooter is special! Arjen Who pioneered swordsmanship? You said you didn’t get any help from Arzen?”

Rayman proudly sticks out his chest for no reason.

I’m rather embarrassed by too much praise.

“done. Now, Evan, what are you planning to do?”

“I intend to return to the Empire. The academy will be opening soon anyway, so I have to go back.”

Evan let out a long sigh.

“I think I was too arrogant. I was angry that I couldn’t get into Abitrari’s black market. Even people like Ren-sama were in danger.”

In fact, if it was Evan, it would be enough. If I had used the strength of my family and spent a bit more money, I would have been able to get enough tickets.

However, it must have been difficult for an academy student who did not use the strength of his family and did not know much about the providence of this place.

So, wasn’t it just that he fell for the tricks of the black society and aimed at me?

“What did you go so far to save?”

“There are relics you are looking for in your family. I wanted to visit it and get recognition from my father, but I almost only got more reprimands.”

It’s not that I don’t understand that feeling.

I too, when I was in my family, tried everything to get my father’s approval.

“Okay, when you go back, graduate from the Academy or do well.”

“Yes, can we see each other again?”

“When you graduate, come to Brillant’s Decane. Then I will treat you as a guest.”

“thank you.”

Evan bows politely and greets you.

The arrogant and arrogant look I had seen for the first time had disappeared.

He still seems to be proud of himself.

“We have to go back now.”

“I have a place to stop before I go.”

“what? where? You know that’s a breach of contract, right?”

I knew you would say that.

But Frances already owes me a great debt.

“A ticket to the auction house you entered. Do you know how much it costs? Moreover, thanks to that, I saved time and did not suffer in vain. I want to confirm the truth of the rumors.”

She quietly shuts her mouth and rolls her eyes at the list of facts that are bluntly pointed at.

“Can we stop by for a minute?”

“… … Come to think of it, that seems fine.”

She meekly agreed.

“Where are you going?”

“Leadline Village.”

“Leadline town? Where is it?”

“It’s not too far from here. It’s also in the central north.”

Joel Holmmels.

A madman swordsman who practiced a swordsmanship called the nang-a sword.

He said that his brother was in the village of Leadline in the northern part of the country.

‘Fortunately there is a lead line town on the map… … .’

* * *

Fortunately, I was able to get a detailed map of the central northern area from Crispin, the head of the back alley.

The map was drawn so that you can easily feel the geographical features, which villages are located here and there, and how large they are.

Thanks to that, we got to the village of Lidline without getting lost.

“welcome.”

A small village built under the mountain.

However, it is said that there are quite a lot of people who climb the mountain.

“Are you the village chief?”

“yes.”

The villagers guarding the entrance and the village chief greeting guests at the entrance.

It is an ordinary town with nothing unusual on the outside.

“I have a question.”

“Ask me.”

“Do you know Joel Holmmels?”

Perhaps it was an unexpected name, but the village chief’s eyes widened.

The atmosphere of the villagers also changed in an instant, showing a more vigilant appearance.

“I know. I used to live here.”

“I met Joel Holmmels. He was curious about his brother’s safety.”

“Is that why you came here?”

“yes. Adeline Holmes. Are you here?”

The villagers who were exchanging glances with each other at my question looked worried, but the village chief looked into my eyes as if looking into my heart and nodded.

“Follow me.”

Francis and Rayman also look worried.

The village chief is heading outside the village, not inside.

After entering the entrance of the mountain and walking for a while, I began to hear people’s voices.

“aaa!!”

A loud screaming sound.

At the same time, the sound of something being taken is heard.

thud! thud! thud!

As I entered the sound, I saw a muscular woman chopping down a tree.

thud!

Clumsy! A thick tree falling over with a clatter.

Except for the clear muscles attached to his arms, he is rather dwarfed.

However, the appearance of knocking down that thick log with just a few strokes of an ax and easily lifting the stump of a fallen tree was quite different from its appearance.

“Crazy… … .”

“What is that? Is what I’m seeing right?”

“Huh… … .”

All three of us gasped in admiration.

“That person is Adeline… Are you Homemels?”

“yes.”

The village chief responded calmly, as if he was used to such reactions.

“Who are you?”

She dragged a log on her shoulder towards us who were staring blankly at her.

“Let’s talk.”

The village chief took two steps back, and she noticed that I was looking for her and came closer.

“What is it?”

And I said it straight.

“Your brother is dead.”

“… … what?”

Her face stiffened and the log she was holding thumped to the ground! and fall

My gaze went to the clenched fist that looked like it would fly at any moment.

What if I get hit by that fist? Putting my thoughts aside for a moment, I spat out what I had originally intended to say.

“I killed him.”
