Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Cardin had originally planned to hide the fact that he had become a five-star until the end of the second half of the semester, so he would have to wait at least half a year before he could learn Isaac's special necromancy.

"Well, let's get back to class and discuss the battle of the Necromancer who handed over command to the Death Knight." Isaac's class continued after that.

The content was all what Charlotte had already taught, so there was nothing special about it, including which magic should be used at a certain moment, which curse was most effective, and the various ways of fighting that could be done using blood magic.

Although it was content he already knew, Cardin still concentrated and listened to his voice as a review.

As night fell, Cardin found the training ground as expected, but this time he went to a different indoor training ground than the first graders'.

"Good evening, senior. I'm sorry to disturb you during training." The place he found was the indoor training ground reserved for second years, where Matthias trained alone every night.

"Cardan? What are you doing here?"

"I have a question to ask, so I took the liberty of visiting you."

"There's no need to be so polite between us." Cardin, who opened the door and came in, seemed to make Matthias very happy. He walked over with a happy smile.

How hard he worked, just by getting close to him you could feel the heat radiating from him, it was suffocating.

"Oh, I heard about it. You went to Trafalgar City to carry out a mission?" Matthias picked up the towel hanging on the wall, wiped the sweat off his face, and continued.

"And an incident occurred? I'm curious, can you tell me about it? I've only heard about it, but I don't know the details."

"Then let me tell you about the incident first." He only knew that an incident had occurred, but he didn't seem to know the specific content, so Cardin briefly summarized what happened in the city of Trafalgar.

"... ....So the mercenary Fram killed the knights of the Kingdom Knights and tried to kidnap Senior Esther?" Mathias asked in shock with a stiff face after hearing the story.

"Yes. From what I heard, a necromancer showed up and killed Fram." Cardin nodded in response, and soon Matthias sighed and sat on the ground.

"No way, why did Fram do that?" It seemed that Matthias and Fram knew each other.

"I'm sorry, although this may shock you. Are you on good terms?" Cardin smiled wryly and nodded.

"Not really. Thanks to this, the Lord of Trafalgar City asked the Mercenary Guild to send the top leader."

“Call the master?” The highest leader of the mercenary guild is Matthias’s master, also known as the King of Mercenaries.

"Yes. Since the team returned, the mercenaries have been held in Trafalgar City Prison."

"Fram, you bastard." A curse word suddenly came out of Matthias' mouth.

Cardin waited for his anger to subside, and soon Mathias sighed and apologized at the same time.

"I'm sorry. I'm not angry with you, don't get me wrong."

"It's okay. But do you know this mercenary named Fram?" Cardin asked cautiously, and Matthias frowned and nodded.

"I guess so. We're not that close." Hearing that they weren't close, Cardin heaved a sigh of relief. The burden of asking questions seemed to be relieved a little.

"We've conquered dungeons together a few times before."

"Is Fram also the apprentice of the Mercenary King?"

"No. He has not achieved the excellence that my father would recognize." Mathias still frowned and said in a voice full of suppressed anger.

"That was two years ago, right? He seemed to have suddenly come to his senses since then, and his strength has increased dramatically." It is said that Fram, who was once a five-star mercenary, began to grow rapidly at a certain moment.

"I heard that he reached six stars within a year, and this year he reached seven stars. Well, although I haven't seen him since I entered school, I heard that he is very active in the guild."

"That's it."

"But why are you suddenly asking for Fram's information? You are not investigating the incident."

"Just curious. The first impression didn't seem that bad." Although there were many things I was curious about, asking further would seem like asking further questions.

"Two years ago. He started to transform into a demon from then on." According to Luna, Fram was about to turn into a demon.

"So it takes about two years for a human to completely transform into a demon?" As Cardin pondered, Mathias tilted his head and spoke again.

“That’s a bit strange.”

"What's weird?"

"Last time I saw that guy, he had a tattoo on the back of his hand."

"Tattoo?" Hearing tattoo, Cardin focused again on what Mathias said.

"I suddenly asked him why he got the tattoo, and he said it was to keep his promise to himself?"

"Yes."

"Well, there are a lot of people with tattoos among mercenaries, so I don't find it strange." Matthias continued, then shook his head, feeling strange.

"But a few days ago I saw someone with the same tattoo as that guy." Mathias' words made Cardin's eyes widen in surprise.

"Same tattoo?"

"Hmm. Someone who has absolutely nothing to do with Fram, but has the exact same tattoo."

"Who is that?"

"You may have seen it, too. Twice, maybe?"
