“The reason we gathered today is not a big deal, just to finish cleaning up before graduation.”

Aslan, whom I hadn’t seen in months, was sitting at the table casually as if I had seen him yesterday.

A few people, including Geyzak and Vita, looked bewildered, but in fact, considering Aslan’s usual behavior, there was nothing strange about it.

“Once me and Allen graduate, everything we touched with ranker privileges will return, so what do you have, Allen?”

“My side has already sorted everything out.”

In Night Ray, even high rankers could change the school rules with their own authority.

Among the 15 immovable members, the two who placed first and second among them had even greater influence.

Because of this, I had to organize things in advance before graduation, but since I had been to Stellarium, I wanted to do it quickly.

“It seems like the school principal is trying to catch the one who touched the ranking match, so there’s no need to worry about it. Then, can I just solve the Black Moon dormitory problem?”

The Black Moon Dormitory was originally planned to be closed, and maintaining it was purely Aslan’s prerogative.

“If I go out, someone will take over, or everyone has to leave. Honestly, the other guys will take care of it, but how about you, Noah?”

“Is that why you called me?”

Noah entered the Black Moon Dormitory because he had no place to stay at the beginning of his school year.

However, since he was the top ranker, reaching 16th place, there was no reason he couldn’t find a place to stay.

“It’s annoying to move, and there’s nothing I really want to do with the extra powers, so if you don’t mind, I’d like to take over the Black Moon.”

“good. Then the black moon will be given to you. In fact, the other guys were not very trustworthy.”

I was worried about what would happen if I left it to Ursula or Shiva.

However, if it was entrusted to Roselia or Linaria, it could have become the Ribéry family’s villa.

Ophelia was the better one, but there was a high possibility that this one would also be neglected in the management of beggars.

“Tiu is still a high ranker, so he probably doesn’t have enough authority to receive the entire lot. In fact, it was only you from the beginning.”

Noah grabbed the key that Aslan threw.

“Now, let’s talk about the personal things and the graduation ceremony… … .”

The meeting lasted until the sun went down ahead of the year-end festival, when the best knights in the empire would flock to it.

* * *

A luxurious mansion located somewhere within the Empire.

Arachne, a member of the organization that infiltrated Nightray, has been enjoying a luxurious life here since coming under the control of the House of Lords.

‘What the hell is this organization… … .’

It was already known that the organization’s influence stretched to a considerable extent.

Because I’ve known you to run away from the organization.

However, when he was formally recognized for his abilities and became a member of the organization, he realized that what he knew was nothing but new blood.

‘I can’t believe he’s maintaining his temporary residence in such a luxurious way.’

In this mansion, there were dozens of employees who had nothing to do with the organization.

Here, Arachne was introduced as a relative of the owner’s house and was treated as a lady.

Needless to say, all of this costs a lot of money.

That meant the organization had enough money to do this casually.

‘The owner of this mansion was in the name of a central aristocrat. If so, that person must be one of them.’

It was not hidden, but was proudly maintained as a villa for nobles.

Even Arachne, whose face was revealed, created a fake identity in an instant without having to hide.

There are not many people in this world who can proudly enjoy a bubble bath even after being photographed by Master Night.

“Maybe it’s not a bad thing to come here?”

Even when he was kidnapped and turned into a half-human, half-horse through a living experiment, he thought he was the unluckiest person in the world.

However, as a result, she survived the operation, awakening useful abilities and avoiding Tosa Gufang.

At first, I was anxious even while resting here, but it continued for several months, so I was able to enjoy the things I was given comfortably.

If the organization continued to treat me like this, it didn’t seem like a bad thing.

“Arachne, it’s a mission.”

“Crush!”

Arachne was startled by the sudden appearance of a human figure in the bathroom, but she desperately held back the swear words.

aggregate agent.

Even though he was able to rescue all his allies at the time of Night Ray’s infiltration, the man who dared to ‘kill’ them.

From noble mtl dot com.

It was an opponent that she didn’t want to confront because she thought her life was precious.

“Hey, what’s this mission? It’s not like another nightray infiltration, right? It’s really dangerous this time.”

At Night Ray, the year-end festival, more than 10 Master Knights, including the emperor, were scheduled to gather.

Among them, there were those whose type of heart sword was unknown.

No matter how advantageous your superpowers are, if you crawl into such a place, you will die.

“Don’t worry. He will go to Night Ray himself.”

“If he is… … ?”

There was only one person higher than the Four Noble Truths in this organization.

‘planet!’

Arachne received the witchcraft treatment from the Seer, but had never met him in person.

The fate of the subjects was decided while they were all intoxicated.

So I wasn’t sure if it existed or not, but it seemed like it definitely existed.

‘By the way, are you going to Night Ray?’

“Could it be that the organization intends to wage an all-out war with the Empire?”

“Maybe later. But not now.”

The word ‘now’ bothered her more, but Arachne kept her mouth shut at the words that followed.

“The pioneer has an external status. If you don’t attend the year-end festival, it will look rather strange.”

“… … !”

Since I was proudly running a mansion like this, I had roughly predicted it.

‘The fact that he brought Benjamin, who was the central figure of the 8th family, means that he has a chance to meet such a person as well.’

Except for the families of graduates, only members of the knights of at least middle age can participate in the year-end festival.

‘It’s not like sending a minion. You said you were going by yourself. So, the identity of the boss is the leader of a large knights?’

Even though he saw Arachne rolling her head, the head of the house did not bother to point it out.

There is no other way for Arachne anyway.

Whatever she was thinking, she couldn’t defy the organization’s orders.

“You will go to Sanctum Keep with me from now on.”

“Ugh, are you going abroad?”

“I have confirmed that your ability works for Master Knight as well. Now that the preparations are over, let’s try it out in real life.”

“If it’s real… … .”

“I’m going to kill Master Knight.”

* * *

You don’t have to graduate from Night Ray to become a knight.

For this reason, during Night Ray’s year-end festival, people from all over the country flock to take the knight test.

When aspiring knights gather like this, numerous knights dispatch people to gather members.

In other words, the entire city becomes a gigantic job fair throughout the year-end festival week.

“Have you seen it outside? There were not many people on the street, so it was crowded at all.”

“The seniors say it will be that way for a while even after the end of the year-end festival.”

“If I didn’t make a reservation, it would be difficult to go out and eat. Maybe we should just eat in the school cafeteria this week.”

The students who came to class early in the morning were buzzing with stories about the situation outside.

Those who took classes with Noah were in their first year anyway, but the day will come that they too will graduate one day.

Unlike most aspiring knights, the graduates of the Night Ray were able to pick and choose a large order of knights.

I couldn’t help but shrug my shoulders as I watched the commotion outside.

‘Didn’t they say that the scout of the famous knights would come on the same day?’

There is no rush for the good knights.

However, there was no choice but to run hard in places where competitiveness was relatively weak.

At this time, the major knights of the Empire have yet to make an appearance in the Nightray.

Most of the people outside were only those involved in the small and medium guilds.

The person Noah was supposed to meet was also due to arrive in Nightray today.

So, as soon as class was over, Noah cut off his ticket to go out.

When I came out of the school, I didn’t have to go far, just near the entrance I saw a considerable number of people.

‘Are they all knights? Are all these people scouts?’

There were many former knights in Night Ray, or many employees who did not become knights but received training equivalent to them.

Even so, it was the first time since the Crescent Islands that so many active knights had gathered.

Among the signs I felt, there were those who did not look very strong, but there were also those who were difficult to subdue if they grabbed each and attacked them.

Madang heard the story that their organization might be targeting him for defeating Benjamin.

‘I shouldn’t be wandering around too much.’

Noah moved while maintaining a moderate level of tension and being wary of his surroundings.

As he moved like that, there was a figure approaching him.

“Student, can we talk for a minute?”

The man who approached after seeing Noah’s coat gave out his business card.

“Specialized in article headhunting… … ?”

“First, I should introduce myself. My name is Marco, the scout. What’s your friend’s name?”

“My name is Noah.”

Noah revealed his name, but Marco didn’t seem to recognize who he was.

No, it just gave me the impression that he was just talking about himself, not paying attention to Noah’s words from the beginning.

“That’s a good name. My body seems to be in good shape as well. Are your friends graduating class?”

“no. Now that I’m in my first year, I’m not interested in finding a job. Find someone else.”

Saying that, Noah tried to pass the scouter, but he grabbed his arm and blocked the way.

“Ah, it doesn’t matter how old you are when looking for a job. Rather, if you are nominated early in a good place, you can get a loan and how much easier your life will be.”

Then he looked up and down Noah’s clothes.

Noah is 16th, so he has enough support, but the clothes he wears everyday are not particularly high-end.

I didn’t wear anything other than sportswear anyway, so I just dressed like I used to.

“Looks like you’re not from a famous family, but you went over there with me… … .”

“I have an appointment, so I will go.”

When Noah shrugged off his arm, the scouter’s smiling expression immediately rotted away.

“My friend is young and doesn’t know much about social life, but people say that you shouldn’t come out like that. What are you going to do when you meet me after graduation?”

At those words, Noah, who until now had been wary of whether this man might be a member of the organization, put on a puzzled face.

‘It’s a spectacle.’

The horse was a headhunter, but what he did was no different from a bully.

Judging from the eyes of the others around him, it seemed that it was common to sit in front of Nightray’s front door like this and hang on to the students.

At the point where I couldn’t even recognize Noah’s face, who had originally ranked 16th, the level was understandable.

Purebreds who had lived only knowing swordsmanship might be able to capture the atmosphere in this way, but Noah was not.

“Does everyone look at me funny because I’m from Night Ray? Yes, you should buy it too… … .”

“Because you’re a baby animal, can’t you understand what people say?”

“what?”

“You are not interested. go away.”

“The young bastard has no quirks… … !”

Hearing the insult, he instantly turned red in the face.

In the frontier area where large and small beast avalanches occurred every day, there were many people playing with people’s lives.

When I went out with my grandfather, it was common for him to ask for a bundle when he rescued someone from danger.

A world where strength and weakness come before good and evil.

This is where Noah lived.

“You want to hit? Before you hit someone, you should consider that you could hit yourself too, right?”

“this!”

chin!

He couldn’t hold back his anger and raised his hand, but he couldn’t bring it down.

“What else are you?”

Suddenly, a man appeared behind him, holding onto his arm.

“Hey dad.”

“her?”

At the same time, a gigantic aura like a mountain was pressing down on the space.

“And the head of the Lichtenauer family.”

Michael looked over the man’s shoulder at Noah and grinned.
