Episode 58

It was Frickson who spoke to me.

The only son of a family that runs a huge guild in Poven, and a donation student who was brutally beaten by Bizolt.

The boy held out his hand with serious eyes.

“What do you mean?”

I looked down at the thick grip with a slightly displeased expression.

Boy, I don’t want to hold a man’s hand.

“Ah, I’m sorry. The first greeting in Forven is a handshake.”

Frickson shyly withdrew his hand and hurriedly scratched the back of his head.

After that, it’s not the first thing to lower your head.

“I’m late to say hello. Thank you for helping me then.”

“I didn’t mean to. He ruined my meal.”

“Still, the fact that you saved me from a crisis doesn’t change. Thank you for being grateful.”

“Well, if you think so. I won’t stop you.”

I replied with a tone of not being interested.

It could be seen as someone who approached the other person aiming for property.

However, I hadn’t looked for Frickson since the duel with Bizolt, and I hadn’t even looked at him.

Acting as if nothing had happened, this guy seemed to open up to some extent.

‘Of course you have to move carefully. It’s true that I approached you for your wealth and influence.’

When invisible walls are broken down and trust is built up, people’s hearts tend to tilt rapidly.

The current Frixon was in just such a state.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to make me consider you my best friend.

It’s another matter to maintain the trust I’ve received from this guy in the future.

‘By the way, when do you get to the point? Don’t hesitate and shout quickly.’

Sure enough, after expressing his gratitude, Frixon immediately showed his true colors.

“It looks like they’re looking for Jo Won, how about joining us?

In the case with Bizolt, he was unable to respond due to the difference in status, but this friend was also quite talented.

As a donation student, I said everything as long as I entered the advanced class.

You probably received quite systematic training from a young age.

It was not a bad result for a talented person to come in.

Adele and Sophia passed anyway, but there were still three seats left.

At this level, there must be female students willing to join.

I agreed without thinking too long.

“So what?”

“I thought you would accept it. Thank you for this too.”

“Let’s get along.”

“Then why don’t we each bring one more?”

“Oh! Does anyone have an idea?”

Frickson smiled meaningfully at my question.

For some reason, when I saw the sinister smile of the guy, I was sure of one thing.

‘This is unconditionally a woman.’

The hanryang’s chook accumulated over many years was sending a clear signal.

“Whoa! He’s a pretty good friend. You’ll probably be satisfied too.”

“Okay. I’m looking forward to it.”

I nodded with a hearty smile and walked lightly.

To be honest, it didn’t matter if the crew’s strength was a little weak.

Even if you fill in the rest with the basic class.

I’m going to chew it all up, so what’s the problem?

As long as it helps eye health, just anyone was fine.

But the guy I was bringing with me was a little different.

Because he was an extremely rare talent.

I approached a small young man who was standing in a corner.

“Hey. Be my teammate.”

The first person I spoke to was Mac T.S., a handsome man with blue hair and impressive green eyes.

Although he is a direct descendant of the Thies family and an excellent elementalist, he has not yet been chosen by anyone.

However, it was not the style to approach others first.

Mack was shy and somewhat lacking in social skills.

The boy asked a question with a slightly wary face.

It seemed like I was quite burdensome when I pushed in out of nowhere.

“Wasn’t it our first meeting?”

“There’s no one to be with anyway.”

“Right now, though.”

“Then just follow me. Our group has both skills and money. You probably won’t regret it.”

I pointed at Frickson and said.

Even though it’s a basic class, I definitely took a snow stamp on Professor Hort.

And Frixon, who was a donation student, but entered the advanced class.

It was a much better staffing than the other unverified ones.

In addition, talented students formed groups with their acquaintances or joined strong forces.

“You can’t find a good group like this anywhere you go now, right?”

“It sure looks like that.”

My persuasion must have worked, Mack’s vigilance gradually faded.

“But can I bring one more? Because he’s probably alone right now.”

It was good until he accepted the offer.

However, attracting a new person was a separate issue.

“Is it a girl?”

“Nope.”

“Then it’s difficult…”

“Still, I can guarantee one skill.”

“yes?”

While resting my chin on my right hand, I forced myself to nod.

I’m going to chew it all up anyway, but it’s good if someone with good skills comes in.

In addition, a red one point is enough to cleanse the eyes.

“Then bring it and see.”

“Okay. I’ll be back soon.”

Upon answering in the affirmative, Mac T.S.’s face brightened.

It seems that being with acquaintances is psychologically stable.

Before long, Mac brought a red-haired man with a sad expression.

Red and blue colors riot. Do you collect by color?

‘Anyway, this guy… … . Aren’t they openly enemies?’

I felt uncomfortable with the person who joined out of nowhere.

It was because he was none other than Camille, a direct descendant of the Felton sword family.

The third son of Simeon, the Great Emperor of Hocheon.

Judging from the fact that he entered Benderford, it seemed that this guy, like Isabel, was quite far from the succession plan.

Despite being the son of an enemy, Camille had nothing to do with the fall of Riverrun.

You can’t point original sin to a guy who wasn’t born at the time like some religion.

‘yes. What’s wrong with him?’

The discomfort caused by facing the Feltons quickly dissipated.

“Since he is a direct descendant of the 4 generations, one skill must be certain.”

“Don’t trust me too much. I’ll do roughly as much as others do.”

“Anyway.”

Camille seemed to care nothing about the world.

That’s why I liked it even more.

Originally, when these guys go round once, they buy and play properly.

Of course, there must be some incident that will be a catalyst.

I took the two of them and reunited with Frickson.

“This is my old friend Curtis. The second of Count Poben.”

Like the son of a merchant who dominates the western part of the Empire, Frickson brought a figure from Count Poven.

Curtis was a plain-looking young man with brown hair.

There were no special features other than a short stature and a well-developed upper body.

You can see it everywhere if you just listen to it, but it was quite an impression in Benderford.

This is because he is older than his peers and has a rugged appearance.

Should I say it feels like a mercenary has been caught between fresh students?

“Oh! The average skill of our group is very high?”

Frickson looked at the members of the team with a slightly flushed face.

It seemed all the more so because each of them gave off an unusual atmosphere.

“Come to think of it, they come from so many different backgrounds.”

The direct lineage of the 4 families was rated at the highest level, and the descendants of the aristocratic families in the imperial regions were rated roughly in the middle.

Endowment students like Frickson and I were at the bottom of the list.

There were probably very few groups with Jung-gu heating like this.

“That’s right. I was a little surprised. I didn’t know that the direct line of the 4th family would come.”

Frickson murmured, looking back at Mac and Camille.

Members of the crew looked at each other with a smile at the same time.

They seemed to think that it was fortunate that they were filled with only those who had good skills and no personality problems.

Of course, I was also nodding.

‘yes. It’s amazing. Not a single woman.’

I glanced at Frickson with glimmering eyes.

After speaking as if it were a woman, what about this bastard?

Of course, there was no way he would understand my feelings.

I just shuddered and shuddered at the sudden coolness.

Contrary to my plans, I went on a mission with an all-male group.

‘The hanryang’s point accumulated over many years is a piece of shit. It’s not bad luck.’

When I went back to the dorm today, I felt like I should sprinkle salt in front of the door.

Or throw some in Frixon’s face.

* * *

Due to missions that came out of nowhere, Benderford was overcrowded even on the weekends.

The students who had not yet formed a group started negotiating the allocation of personnel.

Because they were gathered in groups of three, they had to go through a negotiation process to match a group of five.

Of course, having formed a group, I was free to leave the school and go out to the town of Troben.

‘I need to know why this mission came about.’

It’s a general evaluation, but I couldn’t understand why students with a noble status were being pushed into a rough area.

Emerging from an alleyway near the west gate of Troven, I was transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man.

He completely changed his impression with the Chiljeolyongsul.

While walking around the market in that state, I slipped into a dark part of the city.

After opening the perfectly camouflaged secret door, I handed out the blue plaque to the hidden agent.

“Black scales, white mask.”

When I added a password to the identification card proving that it was a limited express, it opened the way right away.

There were several confirmation procedures after that, but it was not difficult to pass.

The fact that I am a direct descendant of the Landsvalger family had a profound effect on simplifying the procedure.

It’s just a fake identity, but it’s really good at times like this.

The atmosphere of the central branch, which I hadn’t been to in a long time, was quite different from before.

‘I was very busy at the time.’

He was in the middle of dealing with the failed assassination of Marquis Pennant, so it was inevitable that it would be completely different from now.

After passing through the quiet office space, I headed to the branch manager’s office.

smart. rattle.

As soon as I knocked, I opened the door and immediately saw a man sitting at a desk in agony.

It was faceless wearing a white half mask.

“Long time no see?”

As I smiled and greeted him, the left side of the central branch manager’s face twisted.

No one in the branch would have treated him so harshly, so it was a natural reaction.

However, Faceless, who recognized me, let out a low moan and stood up.

“Great. I heard that you went to Vanderford, but what’s going on here?”

“I stopped by to ask about my regards and to find out something. Are you busy?”

“I was at work.”

“You seem much more relaxed than when the assassination failed, right?”

“……What’s the matter?”

“Can I come in for a minute?”

“Already in, what?”

“I was asking out of politeness.”

“…”

dump!

When I entered the office and sat down on the soft sofa, Faceless’s lips trembled slightly.

Seeing that the texture was very good, it seemed to be a precious item for a high-priced item.

Still, I didn’t get angry because I sat there carelessly.

You owe me a pretty heavy debt.

“I also like the central branch. The eastern branch can’t even dream of something like this.”

“Did you stop by because you needed something? If there’s something you want, don’t go round and round and tell me quickly.”

“Oh! Really?”

“yes.”

The head of the central branch waved his hand with an uncomfortable face.

I threw a word at that faceless.

“Then give me the money for my activities. Very much.”
