Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Although winter has long passed, for some reason, a chill filled the training ground.

"What does that mean?" Cardin was the first to speak after breaking the brief silence.

"Cross the city wall, kill the mercenary Fram, and rescue the team's necromancer. It's you, right?" Kalia looked at Cardan with a firm look and asked again.

"What do you know?" For some reason, a chill ran down my spine. A long-lost feeling of uneasiness.

But Cardin didn't show any panic, he shrugged and pretended to know nothing.

"I killed the seven-star Fram and rescued the team?" This is ridiculous. Cardin said, shaking his head.

"In fact, with the power of the demons, Fram has surpassed Seven Stars. Even the students of the Hero Academy cannot win." This doesn't make sense based on common sense.

A four-star necromancer defeating a seven-star mercenary only appears in legends.

"That wouldn't have happened if Anthony hadn't turned into a Death Knight. If that hadn't happened, no one could have saved him."

Even if the Death Knight Karok, the Corpse Golem, and Luna were dispatched together, it would be difficult to kill Fram.

Anthony, who was once the Seven Star Knight, called himself the Resurrection of the Death Knight. He became the highest-level Death Knight and cut off one of Fram's arms.

"Even if it's Luna, if Fram is in good condition, he can't win." If it weren't for Anthony, it would be difficult for Cardin to defeat Fram who got the power of the demons. It can be said to be a miracle.

Because this is something that normally would not happen, Cardin was even more shameless and confident in denying it. Kalia had the same idea as Cardin.

"Although it sounds impossible." Cardan killing a seven-star knight-level mercenary could only happen in a dream. But there seemed to be an unanswered question in her mind.

"It was early that morning. I saw you coming out of the room." Kalia paused and asked.

"Maybe I saw it wrong. I did go out very early that morning, but I didn't go beyond the city gate." Cardin continued with a smile.

"If I really fought a seven-star mercenary, how come my body is so intact?"

indeed.

Cardan's body was too healthy. If he fought a seven-star mercenary, his body would be covered with scars. No, even if he didn't die, he would have fractures or broken parts.

"Look for yourself. Are there any wounds on my body?" Cardan said confidently and decisively, and hesitation gradually appeared on Kalia's face.

"There's only personal conviction, no clear evidence." Kalia closed her mouth and examined Cardin.

"Kadan wore a mask when he went to the city gate that day." But she did not mention the mask. Kalia was silent, then sighed and nodded.

"What is Cardin's true identity?" It seems that Cardin will not tell the truth. Unless he tells it, the doubt in Kalia's mind will not be solved.

"I was rude. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. It's possible."

"Let's continue practicing." Kalia got into position again and Cardin nodded, picking up the dagger.

"Ah, and your strength has improved a lot. Based on weapon skills alone, you are already in the upper middle level among your peers."

"Are you happy to hear that?"

"I don't know whose help it was, but your defense has improved a lot."

"Your attacks are sharper than before. If I hadn't been training all the time, I would have been defeated long ago, right?" Kalia suddenly praised before continuing to practice.

Although he didn't know the reason, Cardin also directly expressed his feelings during practice.

“I’ll increase my speed this time.”

"Can it be faster?"

"I haven't finished showing you yet." Kalia said, and stomped on the ground again. Clang! The sound of swords clashing filled the training ground.

"This guy is really suspicious. Who is he?"

"Kalia is more perceptive than I thought. Be careful next time." Just like that, the two of them swung their swords with different ideas in mind.

The next day, Esther called Cardan and Kalia. The three of them gathered in front of the dormitory for the support troops and sat on a nearby bench. Kalia spoke first.

"Senior. How do you feel now?" Kalia's eyes fell on Esther's chin.

"The swelling hasn't completely gone down. It's taking longer than I thought. But it doesn't hurt anymore. The dizziness is gone too." There was a red, swollen bump on Esther's chin. It was caused by Framley hitting Esther in the chin with his spear.

"I'm lucky I'm not dead, I'm just swollen. If it weren't for that necromancer, I would have died long ago." Esther seemed to remember something and said while looking into the air.

"But senior. Why did you call us here suddenly? So early." Cardin took over the conversation naturally.

"Ah! Nothing special." Hearing this, Esther seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly began to search her pockets.

Whoosh. She pulled two pieces of parchment out of her pocket and immediately handed them to Cardin and Kalia.

"The lord said that you two can go back to the academy first." Hearing this, Kalia widened her eyes and looked at Esther.

"What? What about Senior?"
