Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

Deep inside the "Red Devil Dungeon". Crack! It was unexpectedly filled with skeleton soldiers.

"It's been almost three months, right?" Among the many skeleton soldiers, a man sat on a rock, staring into the void.

"The time is almost right." The man was none other than Cardin, and he smiled with seeming satisfaction.

"If it weren't for my father's teachings, it would have been impossible to reach three stars before entering school." Normally, it is not easy to reach the three stars in a short period of time.

It requires a trained body and a magical heart, as well as sufficient knowledge to grow.

"Now I finally understand why my father emphasized basics and theory so much." Fortunately, Cardin had already completed such preparation process.

Thanks to Charlotte Ingmar's teachings, he enriched his theoretical knowledge of necromancers, and his physical and magical core were also tempered.

The past 10 years have become a springboard for his rapid growth. "Three stars." Cardin turned his head and looked at the skeletons summoned around him.

Snap. Snap! Different from the skeletons summoned during the one and two star periods, the skeletons now looked stronger.

The bones were thicker and stronger than before, and the surface became smoother, as if shiny. Moreover, unlike the skeletons in the past who were not wearing any clothes, the skeleton soldiers now wore armor and held weapons.

Although their armor and weapons were old, just being armed was enough to make them look more threatening. "This way we won't be left behind in the academy."

Cardin looked at the skeleton with a cold gaze, then suddenly smiled, stood up from his seat, and began to walk.

Snap! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The skeleton soldiers quickly retreated to both sides, as if to make way for the knight. Although the scene was quite spectacular, Cardin remained indifferent and continued walking with a blank expression. "College life..."

Cat's Dinner Tavern. "So, you've reached the three-star level?" Jack Carter, who was wiping his wine glass with a cloth, asked in surprise.

"Yes." Sitting at the bar and drinking orange juice, Cardin nodded easily. "It's not an easy task, right?" It was incredible to be able to reach the three-star level before the entrance ceremony.

Jack Carter looked at Cardin with an incredulous look. "There doesn't seem to be much change in appearance. No, maybe he's grown a little taller? Well, he's in the growth period now." Apart from growing a little taller and becoming more muscular, there weren't many changes.

"No, who would think this man is a necromancer?" Jack Carter couldn't help but sneer in his heart as he observed Cardan's body.

"Really? Judging from his appearance, he is more like a scion of a knight family." Cardan's body was solid and balanced, not like a necromancer, but more like a knight holding a sword.

"Now that you have reached three stars, you can now summon new undead, right?" Jack Carter smiled again and changed the subject.

"Yes. That's what's bothering me now." "Bored?"

"Yes. I don't have any good materials for new undead. Even the dungeons..." Cardin said this, and Jack Carter frowned and nodded.

"By the way, I can't find a body. I haven't done it and I wouldn't do it." Seeing this reaction, Cardin chuckled.

“Well, I won’t have such a request in the future, so don’t worry.” Jack Carter seemed relieved, patted his chest and smiled again.

"Yeah. But you came at the right time. You know you're going to start school tomorrow, right?"

"Yes. That's why I came out of the dungeon." "Although it's a single room, you will live in the dormitory. Is that ok?" Faced with Jack Carter's question, Cardin didn't seem to understand what it meant and shrugged.

"Hasn't Mr. Cardin lived alone for 17 years? Group living might be a little inconvenient." He has never lived with anyone except Charlotte, so his social skills might be lacking.

“You’ve always lived freely, so living somewhere with a lot of restrictions can be difficult.”

"What's the difficulty?" Contrary to Jack Carter's concerns, Cardin was not worried about college life at all. He had lived enough of collective life in his previous life.

He had lived with his family in a small house, and it was common for him to sleep with many people. Besides, what was inconvenient about the so-called single room? On the contrary, it would make his life more comfortable.

"It seems that you are already prepared. It seems that there is nothing I can do to help you." Jack Carter said with a self-deprecating expression.

He seemed to feel guilty for not providing much help to Cardin as an intelligence officer. "No, you helped me a lot. I will need your help in many areas in the future."

Hearing this, he nodded firmly. Since he had already enrolled, he didn't need any information now, and even if he got the information, it would be difficult to use it.

As long as I can get information about dungeons and monster habitats, it will be helpful enough. "That's great. Do you have any short-term goals in your college life? For example, becoming the top student in the grade..."

Is it possible for Cardin, who has reached the three-star level in such a short time, to become the top student in the grade? Jack Carter looked at Cardin with expectation.

"No, I have no plans to be the top student in my class or to participate in any activities. I just want to live a quiet life."

"Live quietly?"

"Yes. I don't want to attract attention." Hearing Cardin's firm words, Jack Carter seemed to understand and nodded. However, he still had some doubts.

"Wouldn't it be better to attract the attention of superiors and increase the chances of becoming the next guardian?" Jack Carter vaguely knew Cardin's plan.

The plan was to get closer to the Guardians while growing up in the academy. Then eventually kill the six Guardians to get revenge. "But you said you wanted to live in peace? What exactly is your plan?"

Although he was curious, he did not ask the question. He must have his reasons. Jack Carter thought so and nodded.

"I hope you can get your wish."

"Thank you."

"So, how about I treat you to a meal as a commemoration of your matriculation? I know a nice place in the capital." Jack Carter asked cautiously, and Cardin put down his glass and nodded.

"It's good that I'm hungry."

On the day of enrollment. Wow! Many people gathered on the street in front of Hero Academy, cheering. Streamers were floating on the street, and everyone had smiles on their faces, as if a festival was being held.

"They are the new heroes!" "May God's blessing be with them!" The road leading to the main gate was only open to students of the Hero Academy, and people stood aside and cheered for them.

They had gathered here to celebrate the new students who had enrolled at the Hero Academy. Due to their enthusiasm, the students walking along the path to the main gate even had the illusion that they had become heroes.

And at the corner of the alley a little further up the street. "There are so many people." "The opening ceremony of the Hero Academy is a major event in the kingdom." Cardin and Jack Carter hid in the alley, avoiding the crowd and observing the street.

"We haven't done anything wrong, but do we have to keep hiding like this?" Jack Carter asked in a joking tone when he saw that Cardin was a little uneasy.

"Well, we really didn't do anything wrong." Cardin finally gave up, took a deep breath, and walked out of the alley. "Then I'll cheer you on." Jack Carter remained in the alley, waving his hands at Cardin.

The path leading to the main entrance was reserved for incoming students, so Jack Carter had to stay in the alley to cheer Cardin on.

"Even though I know the reason, seeing that smug smile of his makes me feel angry somehow." Cardin looked at Jack Carter for a moment, then chuckled and looked towards the road leading to the main entrance of the academy again.

"Tsk, this is really disturbing." Cardin felt a little uneasy as he had to accept the welcome of so many people just for the sake of enrollment.

Cardin took a deep breath and began to slowly walk towards the path leading to the main entrance. Whaa ...

"Excuse me, but I'm not the kind of person who deserves such cheers." Seeing people waving at him, Cardin felt something like guilt. He didn't become a hero to protect them. Instead, Cardin enrolled to kill those who protected them.

"Tsk." Cardin tried not to make eye contact with people and started to move forward. Finally, when he reached the main entrance, a burly guard blocked his way.

"Please show me your acceptance letter." This may seem a bit harsh, but it is a matter of course. Cardin, who understood this, naturally took out the letter.

"Congratulations on your admission." The guard checked the admission letter and made way for me with a kind smile.

"Thank you." Just like that, Cardin walked through the main gate and into the courtyard of the academy, and the pressure and guilt on his shoulders disappeared. "I feel refreshed." Becoming a student and walking into the academy, he felt a different mood.

Cardin wasn't the only one who felt this way, as many of the new students walking into the auditorium had excitement on their faces.

"All freshmen, please gather in the auditorium where you took the exams!" "Freshmen, please don't get lost, follow the instructions!" While observing the academy, you can see students in academy uniforms guiding the freshmen.

Cardin followed their instructions naturally and soon arrived at the auditorium where the opening ceremony was held. Soon after, 32 freshmen gathered in the auditorium and instructor Belid walked onto the stage.

"Long time no see. I don't think I need to introduce myself again?" When Bellid bowed to the freshmen, the freshmen welcomed her with applause as if they had agreed in advance.

Clap, clap, clap! As the applause grew louder, Instructor Belid looked around at the freshmen and smiled amusedly. "We will begin the opening ceremony soon. First of all, congratulations again to everyone on being accepted into the Hero Academy."

Bailey said with a smile, and the freshmen also smiled. It felt like a reward for their past hard work and it touched their heartstrings again.

"From now on, you will study and grow here as students of the Hero Academy and embark on the path of becoming a hero." After hearing Belid's words, the freshmen finally realized that they had become students here.

The road to becoming a hero. Now that they have taken the first step, the thought makes them smile involuntarily. "The opening ceremony will be simple, after which we will assign dormitories and distribute necessary items."

Belid briefly explained the day's schedule. At this time. "Hmm?" Cardan felt an unpleasant gaze and immediately turned his head away. The person who gave the unpleasant gaze was the blond noble "Leiden" who had once laughed at Cardan.

"Hey!" When Leiden met Cardan's eyes, he was startled and quickly looked away. "Oh, right. That guy is over there." Then a playful smile appeared on Cardan's lips.
