Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Cardan, you're here."

In order to report back from an outing, Cardin went to the lounge of the first-year teachers and professors.

"Yes. There were no incidents, and everything that was supposed to be followed was followed."

I came back safely. All you have to do is say this, so although it is a little troublesome, it is not difficult.

Cardin finished his brief report as usual, intending to return to the training grounds as soon as possible.

"Ah, Cardin. There's a special commission coming in this time."

After hearing the report, Chris seemed to have thought of something, took something out of the drawer on one side of the lounge, and walked towards Cardin.

"Confirm first and then decide. It's up to you whether to go or not."

Cardin, who suddenly received the power of attorney, looked at Chris blankly.

Then Chris motioned for him to look quickly, and Cardin nodded and immediately confirmed the power of attorney.

The moment he confirmed the contents, Cardin's face froze.

[Designation of power of attorney.]

- Client: Vanessa Florian

"The Duchess?"

Cardin spent the whole day looking for information about Duchess Florian.

Unexpectedly, I received her commission as soon as I returned to the academy.

"You'll know once you see it. It's a transportation commission."

Seeing Cardin staring blankly at the letter of authorization, Professor Chris motioned for him to open it quickly.

"Yes."

Clang.

Hearing this, Cardin nodded and immediately opened the letter of authorization to confirm the contents.

[Designated Person: Cardan] -Necromancer required. -Team size is limited to 3 people, including designated students. [Danger Level: High] -Transport items to the Eloksen Wall, located at the southernmost tip of the kingdom. -Only via designated routes (shortest distance) -Teleport is prohibited

The details are not written.

The letter of authorization simply stated the reason for appointing Cardin and the content of the commission.

"It's just a simple transport request, but the risk level is quite high?"

Cardin asked with his head tilted, and Chris walked towards the huge map painted on the wall of the lounge and said.

"no way."

The map painted on the wall is a map of the Kingdom of Libera.

"This is the starting point of the mission, the Dukedom of Florian."

puff.

"Take the client's things from here."

His index finger pointed to the spot marked with the Duchy of Florian.

Whoosh.

Then he slowly moved his fingers downwards.

"We must move along the shortest distance to this Elokson wall."

The southernmost part of the kingdom. A huge wall built to prevent invasions from enemy countries and barbarians.

His finger stopped there.

"Because the destination is the Elokson Wall, is it dangerous?"

"No. The Elokson Wall is the oldest wall in the kingdom and the one that has never collapsed. There is no way there is any danger here."

Although it is a place where wars often occur, it is also the safest place in the kingdom.

As he said, due to the danger of the Elokson Wall, a high degree of danger in the commission was out of the question.

"But the shortest distance route specified in the letter of request is a problem. Originally..."

Professor Chris's fingers were moving busily again.

From the Duchy of Florian to the Walls of Elokson, his index finger moved quickly along the road drawn on the map.

"It is safest to follow this path. But it is the path specified in the letter of attorney."

Once again Chris pointed his index finger towards the Duchy of Florian.

Whoosh.

He moved his finger straight down.

"The shortest distance."

Undeveloped wilderness. You must take a route through undeveloped land. Choosing the shortest path is certainly faster, but it has a big safety issue.

"Will there be any problems?"

Cardin tilted his head to indicate that he didn't know, and Chris smiled.

"It seems you didn't look carefully. Take a good look. If you take the shortest distance, you will pass by here."

He pointed to a place.

"The forest of the dark elves. Axias."

Then Cardin understood and nodded.

"Ah, we have to pass by there."

"Although the dark elves are a race hostile to humans, they will not attack first as long as they do not invade our territory."

"But once they invade our territory, they will be killed without mercy."

"Yes. Do you understand now?"

Chris smiled and walked towards Cardin again.

"Maybe in order to get through here safely, we need to find a necromancer."

If you must pass through the Dark Elf Forest, it is appropriate to form a team with the smallest number of people.

"Professor. If we want to get through this forest quickly, wouldn't it be more helpful for students with the assassin or hunter professions?"

"Well, if there were someone stealthy and fast, we might be able to get through the forest faster."

Professor Chris nodded in agreement.

"But if we are discovered by the dark elves, survival will be difficult."

It would be best if you are not discovered by the dark elves, but if you are discovered, you must be able to survive.

"Anyway, although the Necromancer is slow, he is the most stable way to pass through the forest."

Summoning ghost-state undead to provide alerts and surveillance, etc., will allow you to travel through the forest more safely.

"It's not forced. If you refuse, I'll put the power of attorney somewhere else. So don't feel burdened, just choose."

The only necromancers in the Hero Academy are Esther and Cardin. One of them has not returned from the mission yet.

Therefore, the power of attorney seemed to have come to Cardin.

“When does a decision need to be made?”

"The commission letter states that the mission will begin in half a month. So the decision must be made within at least five days."

After hearing what Chris said, Cardin pondered for a while.

"What should I do? I didn't expect to get this opportunity."

Just when he was worried about not having the chance to see the Duchess, the opportunity came.

Just show Luna Duchess Florian and you can tell if she is in the process of demonization.

But it's strange.

The easier something is to solve, the more skeptical you should be, this is what Charlotte Ingmar taught.

"But if I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I can see the Duchess again."

Although I am doubtful and uneasy, I don't know when such a good opportunity will come again.

"It's just a simple transport request anyway. As long as you are careful about the Dark Elf Forest, it won't be that dangerous."

Finally Cardin stopped worrying and looked at Chris.

"If I accept this commission, do I have to form a team?"

Since we are going to a dangerous place, it is more convenient to go alone.

There is no need to hide power, but it is safer to carry out the commission alone.

"Like I said, this is a mission you only do if it's dangerous. You can't send a first year alone."

But Chris, unaware of Cardin's hidden powers, shook his head flatly.

"Although I acknowledge your strength, you need to protect your teammates."

Although I felt a little disappointed when I heard this, I didn't show it.

Seeing this, no matter what method is used, Professor Chris's will cannot be dispelled.

"Ah, right."

Suddenly a person appeared in Cardan's mind.

"Can I go with a certain professor?"

"Professor? Who?"

"Professor Valentina."
