How the Shadow of the Marquis Lives

Chapter 53

A week later, the Beast Guild contacted me. It was a call to come to the guild headquarters to receive the goods.

A total of 15 marbles were acquired by Xian that day.

The number of marbles hidden in Kale Hill was many times greater than this, but it seems that there were many things that were not found or lost or something like that.

For the Beast Guild, since they only had to prepare 15 items, they could have saved a lot of money.

‘Was this building?’

Xian arrived at the annex where the clubs were gathered.

It’s the building I’ve been to once before. I met Damian, Kurgan, and Yuyeon in the meeting room at the top.

He got on the elevator and started climbing up to the floor where the Beast Guild was located.

‘Anyway, it’s unfortunate about Psyche.’

I was able to get a glimpse of the information about hell and the habits of demons from him. And the information on the top demons to watch out for.

After hearing them, Xi’an spoke.

I won’t give you orders with a leash, so why don’t you try fighting one more time?

There was a desire to compete more properly, but in fact, the purpose was different.

I wanted to get a new sword by absorbing a little more of Psyche’s power.

[Absolutely hate it! The power eaten by my compatriots won’t come back!]

However, it was rejected with a single knife.

I guess I was too fooled. I thought that with Psyche’s power, I could probably get a sword related to ice.

‘It would have been nice to work with Changhae.’

I don’t like it, but I can’t help it.

Let’s take a look at the right opportunity.

“You’re here, Xian!”

When he opened the door to the Beast Guild and entered, he was greeted by the leader, Kurgan.

Xian raised his head and looked at him.

It’s still too big to be a burden… … .

“This way. Follow me.”

Xian followed Kurgan to one side of the headquarters.

On the way, curious eyes were drawn from the prisoners in the room.

Xian blinked.

The students had little resistance as usual.

‘I’m from Jakarta, and I have a lot of seniors, so maybe that’s why.’

No matter what, the rumors of Xi’an are bound to be even more vicious in Somer. It wouldn’t be that tough to go to Jakarta or Glacier Baengnyeong, a foreign country.

In fact, I don’t remember getting terribly sharp glances from the half-fairies even during the spirit class.

“draft. You know that Jakarta mainly makes a living from the mercenary business, right?”

Then Kurgan spoke to him.

“Because Jakarta’s mercenaries are famous.”

“What are you famous for?”

“I decided to be brave and strong.”

“Ha ha ha! Yes, right, right! I know you!”

It wasn’t exactly empty talk.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Jakarta’s hand-man mercenaries are welcomed on any battlefield with their physical abilities superior to those of humans.

as well as culturally.

In Somer, the most talented people usually become knights of nobles. A mercenary is the perception of those with a lower rank than that.

However, there was no such thing in Jakarta.

Whether you are a family warrior or a guild mercenary, you are treated equally.

No matter where you belong, with equal skills.

As a result, there were many talented mercenaries in Jakarta, and thanks to that, the mercenary business was flourishing.

The knights of Somer, the mercenaries of Jakarta, and the guardian fairies of the Glacier White Spirit.

They are fighting groups known in each country.

“Mercenaries are not bound by family. Go to the territory you want to go to, do what you want to do. If you want to settle down, you can talk to the lord there. It means you are free to do anything.”

“Yes, what.”

Kurgan suddenly talks about the merits of being a mercenary.

It felt a bit cheap.

this is perfect… … .

“So, Xian, would you like to join our Beast Guild?”

recruitment offer.

This was the second time. What I received from the Thunder Demon Tower in the Territory and what I received now.

Xian let out a small sigh.

Do you think that these people can take out the successor of the marquis family – the heir externally?

“I will decline.”

“Hmm? why?”

“How can I join the mercenary guild when I have to inherit the family?”

“Even if it is a mercenary guild, it is a student guild. You don’t have to feel burdened because you can only do activities until graduation. Rather, wouldn’t it be a good opportunity to perform mercenary work?”

Sian stopped for a moment and blinked.

Kurgan looked at him curiously.

“what’s the matter?”

“no… … It’s a bit surprising.”

The first impression, and the treasure hunt, was the impression that he was a person who only did things without any countermeasures.

Are you more brainy than you look?

“you… … Aren’t you thinking weird now?”

“It is strange.”

Rather, it is a compliment.

“Anyway, I will decline. It may be like in Jakarta, but the position of the heir to a great nobleman in Somer is not so simple.”

“Isn’t it simple?”

“It means that there is a lot of intertwining. A person who is to be the head of a family cannot come under others so easily.”

“If there are gossipers, can’t we just deal with them with our fists?”

“It’s not easy because it’s an aristocratic society.”

Well, actually, it was all an excuse. After all, he is not an heir. No matter what you do, the headmaster won’t care much.

It was just an excuse to not be tied to the Beast Guild.

“I know that Everwhale students can receive separate missions anyway, but there is no reason to join the guild on campus.”

“I see… … I’m sorry. If I could get you out, I could have given Damian a shot.”

“Was that the purpose?”

“It’s not really like that. Ha ha ha!”

Despite being rejected, Kurgan smiled happily.

Actually, he himself suggested it, but he didn’t think Xian would really join the Beast Guild.

I’ve only said it once.

He opened the door on one side. There were piled up presents for Xian to receive.

15 in total. There were so many of them that one bag was almost full.

“Take everything! Because it’s all yours.”

“thank you.”

Xian smiled lightly and packed his things. At this level, it will be quite expensive.

Kurgan talked to him about getting what he deserved and leaving the guild.

“Well, let’s do something together sometime. It is true that I am interested in you.”

“I see.”

Seeing Xian’s back as he left, Kurgan grinned.

It was worth calling him just for this word.

‘It’s a freshman who uses an aura.’

The number of people who can use Aura in Everwhale is on one hand.

During the first year, there was no one other than Xian, and even during the second year, there were only two including Damian.

And even in the 3rd year, there are not many of them.

Because of this, Xian’s presence is bound to stand out even more.

“Umm~ Where should I take him to fall in love with the charm of a mercenary life?”

While thinking about that, Kurgan closed the door to the club room.

“how is it. Halfway through the first semester, are you adjusting well?”

In the classroom of Class 1 of 1st grade, Instructor Tail looked at the students and talked.

“It’s too hard~”

“Couldn’t you shorten the class a bit?”

“Of course not, you guys.”

Instructor Tail raised an eyebrow as he saw the complaining students hanging over the desk.

It was visible in his eyes. That the students are not just complaining with words, but that they are really having a hard time.

And that was a really nice sight for Instructor Tail.

It means that you are living your school life with such enthusiasm.

“It’s always the freshmen who have the hardest time at this time. I have good news for you guys. A picnic has been scheduled.”

“yes?”

“A picnic?”

“okay. Exactly, it’s a field trip.”

The students were instantly enticed by the word picnic, but at the word field trip, they drooped like withered weeds.

“Sheesh. Anyway, I’m going to go get some training again.”

“It’s obvious, it’s obvious. Now I know what this school is doing.”

“I’m going to throw it somewhere else where it’ll be difficult and score it.”

In response to the students’ reaction, Instructor Tail talked shyly.

“You guys are quick-witted… … .”

Because everything the students said was right.

Everwhale’s field trip was not an event like a picnic, although they say it was a picnic.

“We already knew the nature of this school.”

“It’s a school that rolls and rolls students out, right?”

“I really want to catch my breath. When is the vacation~”

ha ha ha… … . At the students’ words, Instructor Tail laughed awkwardly.

“What, what, whatever! But since you’re going out of school, you’ll feel different. Please listen to me first.”

At Instructor Tail’s words, the students began to come to their senses one by one.

So far, it’s kind of like a little grumbling ahead of the delivery of the schedule.

It wasn’t that they truly disliked Everweil’s curriculum either.

As the days passed, I could see my own growth, but there was no way I would hate it.

“First of all, there are three big schedules left in the first semester. This field trip and the semester exam once per semester. Be careful because there are both written and practical. And there is an end-of-term prom after all the schedules and classes are over.”

“ball!”

“It’s really a play event, right?”

“Didn’t you say you misunderstood martial arts or something like that?”

Instructor Tail shook his hand. Don’t worry, the end-of-term ball is really an event to free the students without any tricks.

And after all the prom is over, summer vacation starts right away.

A period of rest after returning home to each family.

“There are other schedules for the second semester, but for now, the first semester is like this. There is still half of the first semester left, but it will pass in the blink of an eye. After the field trip, it’s the exam period, and it’s the prom soon after the exam ends.”

Looking at it like that, it seems that there really isn’t much left until vacation.

Sian put his chin on his chin and made a sad face.

Unlike other students, he wasn’t looking forward to vacation at all.

‘It’s nice to meet Yeom-no.’

The problem is that you have to meet people you don’t want to meet.

During vacation, the place he would return to was not the villa where he and Yeomno lived, but the home where the family owner was waiting.

‘Come to think of it, there was also Chesha.’

Isn’t there even that weird and stupid girl in the family?

There really wasn’t a single thing that made my heart race.

If allowed, I just want to stay in the school dormitory.

“Anyway, so the field trip decided where our class would go. With my connections, I found a good place.”

He smiled at the students.

At his confident smile, questions rose on the faces of the students, including Xian.

Where are you from?

* * *

“This is Isaac from the Blaten Guild. I’m here to get the student list.”

“Oh oh… … Come on. Long time no see.”

The top floor of Everwhale’s main building. the principal’s office.

A gray-haired old man with a cane and a middle-aged man with a firm look were talking.

Everwhale’s president, Jerech von Bergheisel, and Blaten’s guild’s guild, Isaac Blaten.

“Speaking of Blaten… … Was it Instructor Tail?”

“yes. That son of a b*tch had no choice but to do so.”

“hahahaha… … Even so, I accepted it. I heard that the request they are taking on is nearing completion. Isn’t this the most important time?”

Isaac’s eyes twitched slightly at Zerech’s words.

The old man who is all old and just sitting here is quick with one piece of information.

‘The sword old Zerech von Bergheisel.’

One of the 10 High Masters on the continent.

He is the oldest among the extant High Masters.

Despite his frail body, he was still active. The firearms engraved with the years have not deteriorated at all.

“Let’s see… … The papers given to Instructor Tail… … Oh, here you are.”

Zerech took out an envelope from a drawer and looked inside.

Simple personal information of class 1 children who will go on a field trip to Blaten’s mission.

I skimmed it before, but when I checked it again, there didn’t seem to be any deficiencies.

“It’s a job that guilds like Blaten do, so you can learn properly, right?”

Zerech looked at the documents and talked.

Mercenary Guild Blaten.

One of the few S-rank guilds on the continent where Instructor Tail once belonged.

When it comes to that guild leader, Isaac, he is a swordsman who has reached the master level.

It is said that he has not reached the high master yet, but it was not easy to see the master either.

“That is up to the students. After all, students are placed in the rear.”

“Isn’t it that there aren’t many things to do in direct combat?”

“That’s it. It’s up to the guys to figure out how much they learn by looking over their shoulders there.”

“It’s benign.”

“You’re not even my child, so why are you pampering me?”

Zerech handed over the papers he had reviewed to Isaac.

Isaac glanced lightly.

Then, his eyes widened slightly.

A familiar name appeared.

‘Sian Agrid.’

In the past, when he was still training, he lived as a diner of Agrid and studied swords.

The son of Marquis Agrid, whom I had seen several times back then.

At that time, the child was young, but from then on, the buds were already showing.

Isaac remembered the cheeky little boy clearly.

‘The rumors after that weren’t good either.’

I thought that I would grow up and grow up with a miraculous probability, but there was no such thing from the rumors I heard later.

A child with no countermeasures to the point of wondering if he was really the son of the strong sword king.

‘Well, it doesn’t matter. Most of the students will just watch and go anyway.’

No matter how much he is, he can’t have an accident on the battlefield where blood and knives come and go.

“Then let’s go. I’ll call you if anything happens.”

“okay. Take care of yourself.”

“thank you.”

After a short nod to Zerech, Isaac left the office of the president.

Zerech left alone in the room.

He stared at the briefcase from before with his cane on his back.

‘Field experience learning plan for attacking the High Oak Fortress located in Snow Mountain Gryupane’.

The paper envelope had such a title written on it.
