As we approached the guys, all five of them knelt down.

“My lord!”

“Who is your lord?”

“…….“

“Didn’t you guys run away yesterday?”

The guys who had been looking puzzled by my fastball hit their heads on the ground. Then, one of the high-ranking gladiators who seemed to be the representative spoke.

“I’m… sorry! It happened so suddenly… I was flustered…! That’s why I did that!”

“So, why did you come back?”

The way he rolls his eyes makes it look like he’s going to cling to me in an ugly way, saying he’ll give me one last chance or something.

“……It was a momentary mistake…… If you could give me just one last chance…….”

Oh my.

The prediction was not wrong.

Have you ever seen such ugly guys?

If you’re going to run away, just keep going.

Why did you come back so clumsily?

As I was pondering for a moment, a thought crossed my mind.

“You guys. Did you hear the news?”

“……If there’s any news……”

“I heard that you were going to teach the survivors swordsmanship and secret techniques. Isn’t that what you came here to learn?”

“Ah…… no.”

No, what is it?

The eyes never lie.

I guess that’s what I heard from the people who roll around.

It was a typical opportunist behavior.

I thought I had filtered it out to some extent based on characteristics, but it seems like that alone had its limitations.

I looked at the gladiators, snickering.

“hey.”

“…….”

“Do I look easy to you guys?”

“Absolutely not!”

“But why did you come back? Did you think I would take you back even after you ran away?”

“…….”

“I told you clearly. When you have to risk your life. You are free to run away, but I told you to think about it again. If you make that choice, will there be a future? It’s not necessary, so get out.”

I had no intention of ever accepting these guys again.

The moment I tried to enter the annex while ignoring them.

“My… my lord!”

One of the gladiators shouted urgently and reached out to grab my arm.

That won’t work.

The two knights who sat around me were not there for nothing.

Sreung!

Leonhard and Seron.

The one who drew his sword between the two was Seron.

His expression disappeared in an instant and he immediately swung his sword.

“Kkaaa!”

The sword strike was like a ray of light.

In an instant, a gladiator with a cut wrist rolled on the floor, clutching his hand.

Between the legs of the man whose wrist had been cut off, a puddle of bright yellow water appeared.

I wonder why you would touch someone else’s body so carelessly.

The guy with a blank expression looked at the gladiators.

“The young master has not permitted any contact between you two.”

“Ugh…… Euaaaah…….”

Se-ron, who was looking at the men shaking in fear, met my eyes.

“Your Majesty, are you going to kill them all?”

At his chilling question, fear slowly rose in the eyes of the five gladiators.

It seemed that they had only just realized that the situation was 180 degrees different from what they had thought.

I pondered the public’s question for a moment.

Is it really necessary to kill these bastards?

Even if you give them a warning and kick them out, they’re the type of rascals that won’t cause any trouble.

I didn’t really want to spill blood in the annex.

After I shook my head after seeing the public opinion, I looked at the gladiators and spoke quietly.

“If you run away to survive, you must act that way until the end.”

“…….”

He gave a definitive answer to those who did not dare to answer.

“From now on, don’t let me see you again. I might actually kill you then. I don’t have the mercy to let you live as many times as you want. This is your last warning. Then go.”

At my words, the gladiators hurriedly left their seats.

There was someone who was staring blankly at their backs.

That was the public opinion.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Gilliam, who had barely escaped the inner chamber while holding onto his arm, looked at his arm.

The missing right wrist.

The situation was so urgent that I ran away in a hurry without even being able to retrieve my severed wrist.

Five gladiators hurriedly hid in a deserted area.

After taking a moment to catch their breath, they finally found some peace in their hearts.

The first to speak was Gilliam, whose wrist had been cut off.

“……Fuck……! Those motherfuckers!”

“……Gilliam. What are you going to do now? I told you that bastard would take me back! Damn it!”

“Shut up! Who knew this would happen! That crazy guy Se-ron!”

“Phew…….”

“Damn it. You lowly nobleman… slurp!”

Kyle Celtharion.

A gladiator spoke regretfully to Gilliam, who spat roughly on the floor as he recalled the bastard.

“Damn it……! I really didn’t know you would teach me swordsmanship and mind techniques…….”

“Tch. Who knew? Of course I thought it was just a sugar coating from the noble kids!”

“What are we going to do now? I ran away because of you, Gilliam!”

The four gladiators looked at the instigator, Gilliam, with resentful eyes.

“……These kids……Didn’t you agree because you wanted to live too!”

“…….”

When he glared and threatened, the men lowered their heads.

He spoke as he looked at the gladiators.

“……First, I need to earn enough money to live off of, and then I need to get out of this city. Isn’t this that nobleman’s territory?”

“……How are you going to get the money?”

“Let’s sell the information. And get revenge.”

The Marquis’ Secret.

And the power of the annex, etc.

There is an abundance of information to sell.

Usually, information organizations are located in slums, so if you go there, you can sell information.

At Gilliam’s mean-spirited grin, the rest of you slowly nodded your heads.

The moment the gladiators were about to move.

Thump.

I heard footsteps.

As I naturally turned my head towards the sound, I saw a familiar face.

“……!”

That was the public opinion.

He looked at the five gladiators.

‘Those guys are worse than beasts.’

An illegal dumping ground that was like hell.

Not only did they get them out of there, but they were also given ample support to live without any problems. However, they were not even thinking about the favor they had received from their lord.

His master was such a merciful man that he spared even these bastards several times.

‘But the lord has forgiven me.’

It wasn’t me.

If we let these guys go alive, they could become a stumbling block to our lord’s future.

It was not his caring master’s job to get his hands dirty, but his loyal sword’s job.

“……Eek! Cho…… Captain!”

“……The merciful lord has spared your lives twice. Once when you ran away. And once when he stopped me.”

Public opinion?

His eyes were hard to hear as he spoke.

They must have heard what they said.

Sword-crazed ghost!

That murderer will never let them live.

The moment he draws his sword, everyone’s heads will fly off.

Gilliam began to move his legs hurriedly.

Sreung!

A sound of a sword being drawn was heard from behind.

It was a terrifyingly scary sound.

“But, there is no third time.”

After a soft voice was heard.

The heads of the fleeing gladiators began to fly into the sky one by one.

“Ugh… euaaaah!”

At the sound of screams coming from behind, Gilliam, who was running at the very front, started to speed up his pace.

However, the swordsman’s speed was too fast.

It was not a speed at which gladiators without even an aura could escape.

In the end, the one running in front was caught by public opinion.

Gilliam, cornered, screamed in frustration.

“This… isn’t life a three-time game! Just one more time…!”

Denggeong!

It was the last will and testament of the gladiator who remained until the end.

* ? ?* ? ?*

Ten days had passed since the rebellion. The inner city, which had been covered in blood, was regaining its original color.

The same was true for people within the family.

They were moving diligently once again, overcoming adversity.

As expected, time heals all wounds.

There have been quite a few changes in the meantime.

One of the biggest changes is.

Flap!

It was the sight of Erciel summoning a spirit near me.

Without Adolf, there was no need to hide the spirit. Moreover, rumors that she could summon spirits had already spread throughout the family.

Although Padak can hide itself, it only works on people below a certain level.

Jacob, Malone, and even Kraft.

The top-ranking knights on the platform couldn’t have missed that sight. The same goes for the mid-ranking knights and above.

I did ask them to keep the rumors hidden as much as possible.

Honestly, I didn’t think it would last long.

‘There must have been only one or two people who saw it.’

Since it’s already been half-revealed, and the villains within the family have been cleanly swept away.

I just told him to summon me comfortably.

Summoning spirits to increase communication.

That was the spirit master’s training method.

As I was quietly looking at the spirit, Erciel tilted his head.

“master?”

“Ah. That guy looks a bit strange. By the way, do you still call him Asiris?”

“Yes. Because that’s this child’s name.”

“Isn’t it hard to call?”

“yes?”

“Your name. I think it would be better to just call you by your given name.”

“I never thought about that…….”

“Then you don’t have a nickname?”

“yes.”

“Can I build you one?”

She nodded at my words.

There was already a decided nickname.

“hey.”

Flap!

“From now on, I’ll just call you Padak. Is that okay?”

Flap!!

The spirit shuddered at my words.

It’s no wonder that it starts to flap its wings violently.

Do you not like it?

There is no name that suits you better than this.

The name Asiris seems too fitting for a creature that flaps its tiny pair of wings diligently.

Padak is a much more affectionate name.

“cook…….”

At my words, Erciel burst into laughter.

“By any chance, do you not like it?”

“wait a minute.”

As we waited, her expression gradually began to brighten.

It seemed like Padak had given a positive answer.

“He said he liked it.”

“Oh, really? I thought you might be upset. Do you really like it?”

The moment the words were spoken.

Padak’s whole body trembled.

Flap!!?

I guess that was a good sign.

You express your emotions so intensely.

“Then I’ll call you Padak from now on.”

Flap!

I think I’m going to die from joy.

“By the way, Erciel.”

“Yes, your highness.”

“You’re talking about your current status. You’re a commoner, right?”

Although he had purchased it at a slave auction, he had not been stamped with the seal of a slave.

Originally, one had to write a slave contract after stamping one’s seal in order to be demoted to a real slave.

So she was a commoner.

Erciel nodded at those words.

“yes.”

“You will soon be converted to a semi-noble, so prepare yourself.”

“……yes?”

“You’ve been very active this time, right? Of course you deserve a reward. I’ve already told your older brother. I’m also thinking of raising you to a semi-noble status.”

These two were my direct subordinates and played a major role in this rebellion.

Actually, speaking in good conscience, it’s true that public opinion is only about one person’s share.

Isn’t this the kind of situation where you have connections and power?

In the past ten days, I have been given three different variations of the Storm Sword out of the other six sword techniques.

Of course, Abel did not refuse my request.

With my power, I could easily raise the status of a semi-noble person to the rank of a noble.

Give and take.

That was a truly wonderful phrase.

“……Is that true?”

“Uh. Why would I lie to you?”

“……I can’t believe it…… Isn’t there a limit to the number of people that can rise to the rank of semi-noble from each family?”

That was right.

The imperial family allocated each family a number of people they could elevate to the rank of semi-nobles each year.

There were a total of 600 writers.

Considering that the Duke of Emily, one of the most prominent families in the Empire, numbered 800, this was quite a large number.

It was common for a powerless baron to not be assigned even twenty men per year.

‘So, I need to recover my strength quickly.’

The Marquis’ secret was slowly spreading throughout the empire. Although he was trying to hide it, it would not be long before word spread about the exact extent of the damage.

It was such a big incident that it was impossible to completely cover it up. Even if you try to minimize it, you’ll probably think that about 30% of the total force was exposed.

If that happens, their influence will inevitably be greatly reduced. Since they are a powerful and prestigious family, they will not be treated as a toothless tiger overnight, but if they cannot recover from the damage in a short period of time,

‘The number of semi-nobles that can be promoted starting next year may decrease.’

Originally, humans are animals that like to beat up others here and there when they are ruined.

“How’s your training going?”

“Yes. I think it’s because I can summon a lot more than before, so the spirit power seems to be accumulating quickly.”

“I’m thinking of making a magic circle to help you practice soon.”

“A magic circle?”

“Oh. If you train on it, your spiritual power will increase much faster. You’ll also be able to communicate more strongly.”

She tilted her head at my words and asked a question.

“Your Majesty, are you talking about the Spirit Training Center?”

“Yeah. You know?”

“Yes. I saw it in a book. I heard that it was made using spirit stones… If that’s the case, then you don’t have to do it.”

“why?”

“I saw it in a book. It said that the magic circle was half-dead because its efficiency was very low compared to the spirit stones that went in. There was no need for you to draw such a magic circle for my training…….”

“It’s okay. What I’m trying to draw is a training team that has made up for those shortcomings. So, don’t worry.”

Spirit stone.

This was a fairly rare item, like a mana stone, but it wasn’t as valuable as a mana stone.

If that were the case, I wouldn’t have been able to ask the Marquis for the superior spirit stone when I summoned the spirit of Erciel earlier.

Mana stones have many uses, such as operating magical items or creating artifacts.

However, the uses of the spirit stone were limited.

It had no use other than being used in the spirit magic circle needed to summon spirits, or later being used to summon higher-level spirits.

You could say that just that alone is precious in its own way.

‘Not really.’

The occupation that required spirit stones was most likely a spirit master.

However, this spirit master was not a job that could be easily found on the continent.

Supply is low, but demand is even lower.

Even though it was relatively easy to obtain the spirit stone, the reason I hadn’t drawn the training group until now was simple.

Erciel.

It was because her skill level was low.

If you enter the spirit training camp with low skill level for no reason.

‘If you’re unlucky, you might get killed in an explosion.’

The training group that was imbued with my magical knowledge had a structure that greatly improved internal efficiency, but also increased pressure.

If you go in unprepared and without any knowledge, you are sure to be in for a disaster.

The magic circle I used when I achieved the 2nd circle.

It was something like that.

At that time, I used intermediate mana stones to block the influx of mana, but unfortunately, the spirit training center did not have that function.

You just have to accept the spirit power that pours down.

I’ve held it in until now because I might have lost her for no reason.

‘I guess it’s worth a try now.’

After nearly two months of communicating with the spirits, I could say that I was fully prepared to use the training center.

Her talent was that great.

Now it was time to help that talent blossom.

If I used the knowledge I had, it would have been possible.
