Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Valentina begins to tell the story of her encounter with the woman wearing the boar mask.

Valentina is a summoner belonging to the guild. Although she is born with the talent of summoning, she has always longed for more powerful power.

Although he dreams of becoming a summoner's guardian, the reality is cruel. It is difficult to even enter the Hero Academy with just the natural summoning talent.

And so, after growing up and living as a guild member, the woman wearing a wild boar mask appeared.

"She is a fascinating woman. Even though her face is covered, I feel attracted just by looking at her."

The woman wearing the boar mask offered to give her power, and with that power, it would only be a matter of time before she became a guardian. Valentina, who was eager for power, accepted the offer, and from that moment on, Valentina lost consciousness.

"When I regained consciousness, I felt a change in my body." She was excited by the power of the demons. She was excited to realize her dream.

When Valentina regained consciousness, the woman in the boar mask began to teach her how to demonize others and taught her many things.

"Finally, she gave me the magic stone and ordered me to become a teacher at the Hero Academy."

"why?"

"I don't know. I left to become a teacher and wait for her to speak, then disappeared." It couldn't be fake. With Luna around, she couldn't be lying.

Although I asked a few questions afterwards, I didn't get any more information than I expected.

Valentina started to transform into a demon a month ago, so she is just a newcomer among the demons.

She couldn't have had much information.

"In other words, the demons disguise themselves as humans and lurk among humans?" The demons are not brought from the demon world, but humans are turned into demons.

The plan is to slowly transform humans into demons and try to take over the human world.

"There may be others like Valentina." Cardin pointed at Valentina's neck and asked again.

"What's that tattoo?" Hearing Cardin's words, Valentina rolled up her sleeves and showed Cardin her wrist.

However, the wild boar tattoo on her wrist disappeared as if it had been erased.

"What? Isn't there one?"

"It's where the magic stone was implanted. After I met that woman, a tattoo grew on my wrist."

Valentina said with a wry smile, and Cardin suddenly remembered the time when he had peeped into the memories of the dead in order to fulfill Mr. Belid's request.

"Didn't the man who took the necklace have a similar tattoo?"

A man with an octopus tattoo on his neck. Maybe he is also a human who is transforming into a demon?

"I have to see Mr. Belid first when I get back."

Cardin sat alone on a bench at the end of the academy's training ground, looking up at the sky.

After getting the information from Valentina, Cardin took her back to the academy.

Valentina decided to live her life as a teacher as usual, and if she encountered the woman in the boar mask, she would continue to pretend to be her subordinate.

In other words, Cardin intended to use Valentina, who had connections with the demons, as a spy. At least this could prevent the incident caused by the boar mask. At least once.

"It seems that only I know this information." Cardin looked at the night sky depressedly and sighed deeply.

The demons, who were once thought to have disappeared in history with only traces left, are now hiding in the shadows of darkness and carrying out secret activities.

"And they've actually deployed humans who are in the process of becoming demons into the academy." This was information that even Jack Carter, his most trusted information network, could not reveal.

If this information gets out, the kingdom will be turned upside down.

"No. If this fact is revealed, it is not the kingdom that is in danger, but me." The demons have already taken root deep in the kingdom.

If the facts of the demon clan's activities were known to the world, regardless of the truth or falsity of the information, Cardan's life would be threatened.

Therefore, it seems that this information should be buried deep in Cardin's mind.

"Be careful of people with tattoos." Fortunately, a method was found to identify humans who were turning into demons.

One of the characteristics of humans who have magic stones implanted in their bodies and are becoming demons is that strange tattoos will appear at the site where the magic stones are implanted.

"Of course, if the tattoo is inscribed somewhere visible like the wrist or neck, it's easy to spot, but if it's hidden, there's no way to spot it."

Unfortunately, although the method of finding humans who are turning into demons is simple, it is not easy.

"Are you looking for me?" At this time, a familiar voice came. Looking back, Teacher Belid was walking towards Cardin.

"Hello, teacher." Cardin stood up from his seat and immediately greeted Belid.

"Yeah. What do you want from me so late at night?" Belid said as he came to Cardan and motioned for Cardan to sit down.
