Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Aaron said this and looked around the conference room. His attitude was firm and no one in the conference room could defeat his will.

Aaron said, smacking his lips bitterly as the conference room grew quiet.

"If we hadn't put the mercenaries in jail, there would have been more casualties."

"What does it mean?"

"The Knights believe that Anthony's death is the responsibility of the mercenaries, and they will hold a grudge against the mercenaries." In other words, the safest place for mercenaries is prison.

"If the two groups clash, it will not benefit us either. It's time to at least separate them now." After hearing this, some officials nodded as if to show understanding.

Anthony's funeral had been over for half a month. However, the Colinfirth Knights still stayed in the city. It seemed that they would not leave until the head of the mercenary guild showed up and clarified the facts.

"But it would be of no benefit to us if we fell out with the Mercenary Guild."

"Will it be good for us to fall out with the Kingdom Knights?" Problems occurred in the two largest areas of the support army.

Although Aaron Trafalgar was calmly conveying the message, his heart was boiling.

"This is a serious crime. The Mercenary King must personally clarify the matter and apologize before this matter can be closed."

Aaron said this and nodded. No one could refute his words. Not only was it not wrong, but it was also understood to some extent.

"But will the mercenary king really come?" However, continuing to detain mercenaries who came to help the city made people feel uneasy.

“The reason for imprisoning the mercenaries is to prevent another criminal from escaping and to prevent another crime from happening.” In order not to cause chaos and to deal with this matter thoroughly, the mercenaries cannot be released.

"So, what are the students of Hero Academy supposed to do?"

"Others may not know, but students who are members of the special team should stay in this place." She must also get proper compensation from the mercenary guild.

“Immediately after the meeting, I will ask for students’ opinions and then report back.”

The training ground of the Knights of Trafalgar. The problem was not solved, and Cardan remained in the city of Trafalgar.

Perhaps because it was difficult for him to wait quietly for things to be resolved, he borrowed the training ground of the Knights of Trafalgar and continued training alone for a few days.

"Kadan." During the short break, Kalia's voice came from the entrance.

"Kaliyah? What's wrong?"

"Long time no see, are you okay?" Kalia asked, pointing to where the wooden sword was hanging. Cardin closed his mouth in thought for a moment.

"Is the coach not here?"

"It's not a formal duel, but training."

"Then I'm relieved." Training alone was getting boring. Cardin smiled and walked towards the place where the wooden swords were hung, and soon he picked up a wooden sword similar to a dagger.

"Is it still a dagger?"

"Well, this one is the most convenient." Hearing this answer, Kalia nodded as if she had expected it, and took out a wooden sword that was almost as long as her own sword.

It was a simple duel. Although there was no coach, the opponent was Kalia, so there was no need to worry about accidents.

"Shall we start?" Kalia asked, facing Cardin. Whoosh. Cardin took a defensive stance and nodded.

"Please give me your guidance." Whoosh! The moment Cardan nodded, Kalia stomped hard on the ground and rushed towards Cardan.

"4-star is indeed faster." Even without using magic, the speed is quite fast. Kalia quickly closed the distance and swung the wooden sword diagonally.

Crack! Cardan naturally used his wooden sword to block her wooden sword. Even though Kalia didn't use magic, she didn't expect Cardan to be able to block the sword of a 4-star swordsman so easily.

Kalia concealed her surprise and continued to attack. Crack! Whoosh! Facing the fast and irregular attack, Cardin did not breathe and steadily caught her attack.

"During the rest time, my dagger skills also improved. How come my reaction speed increased so much?" Kalia, who was directly fighting with the sword, sneered in her heart.

Even though it was instant, it felt like I was fighting an assassin, not a necromancer.

"Kadan." Kalia brandished the wooden sword and called out to Cardan. Crack! Cardan parried her attack with difficulty and narrowed his eyes.

"what happened?"

"Where did you go half a month ago?" Crack! Cardin blocked the continuous attacks and retreated quickly.

"Half a month ago?"

"Yes. The day the special team left the city gate." Kalia didn't seem to want to give me a chance to breathe, and shortened the distance again, forcing Cardin to catch her attack again.

"I went to your room to look for you that day, but you were not there. Where did you go?" In an instant, Cardin suddenly realized.

"I was distracted by the wild boar tattoo on Fram's hand and ignored Kalia." Although I was worried about Esther and the special team, I blindly followed them and ignored Kalia.

"I practiced in a remote place for a while." Cardin continued to answer with a silly smile.

"Necromancers' training is usually conducted in places where people can't see them." Because others don't seem to like seeing the undead within the city walls, the training is conducted in secret.

Cardan explained, dodging Kalia's sword and retreating. Whoosh. I thought Kalia would catch up immediately, but she stretched out her hand holding the wooden sword and looked at Cardan coldly.

"Cardan." Kalia looked at Cardin through his messy hair.

Unlike usual, her eyes were extremely sharp, and Cardin was momentarily flustered, but he quickly regained his composure, tilting his head and waiting for her next words.

Then, Kalia continued in a calm voice that was different from her usual tone.

"A masked necromancer. Is that you?"
