Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

After returning to the dormitory, the three of them gathered in Matthias' room. They unfolded the parchment given by Radiya and continued their conversation.

“So the name written here is…”

"Yes. These are the names of the people who guard the city walls. The knights and mercenaries are all written on them." Blanche asked, pointing at the list, and Mathias nodded in response.

"I think there's only one reason they gave us this list." Cardin said as if he knew something, and Matthias immediately took over the conversation.

"Yes. It means that we should go to the people on the list for help." During your stay at the walls of Eloksam, meet those who guard this place, and grow through them.

That's the core of the tradition. And while it might seem troubling, at least three people looking at the list didn't think so.

"It is to let us step out of the well of the academy and experience the world of the strong." Cardin understood the intention of this tradition and immediately began to look for people who could help.

"Really? Those are all strange names, and there doesn't seem to be any necromancers." If Cardan wanted to learn from someone, a necromancer would be the best choice. But there was no necromancer on the list.

"Has everyone decided who they want to look for?" Cardin asked as he was looking through the list. Blanche was the first to answer, pointing at the list.

"I've made up my mind." [Medibu Ryan/53 years old/combat magician/near the east city wall] "I want to find this person."

"Medibu Ryan? He's a celebrity." Then Mathias stared at Blanche with wide eyes.

"Senior also knows?"

"How could I not know? He is also very famous among combat magicians. He is a strong man recognized by the teacher." A magician recognized by the mercenary king may indeed be helpful to Blanche.

It seemed that Blanche had decided who she should look for the moment she opened the list.

"So what about the seniors?" Cardin asked Mathias, and Mathias also pointed to the list and answered.

[Radia/27 years old/Knight of the Eloksam Knights/Location of the Battle Training Ground]

"Is it the knight from before?" Blanche then asked in surprise.

"Yes. There are many famous people on the list, but I want to learn from this one." Matthias had experienced a terrible defeat not long ago.

Just one swing of the sword. Just one attack was enough for Mathias to admit the gap between him and Radiya and declare defeat.

"Because I am a bit stubborn. I want to analyze everything from why I lost to how she won."

"I see."

“No, no matter what…” Although Cardin respected his choice, Blanche looked at Mathias with an incomprehensible look.

If they were nobles, they probably wouldn't make such a decision. Learning from Radiya, who defeated them? The nobles' pride wouldn't allow it.

But Matthias is a mercenary born in the civilian world. He is willing to put aside his pride at any time to become stronger, and he believes that there is something worth learning from everyone.

"Blanche and I have decided who we want to meet. What about you, Cardin?" This time it was Matthias who asked Cardin, and both of them focused their eyes on Cardin.

"Since there is so little information, I plan to go around the city first." No matter how I thought about it, it seemed that no one on the list could help Cardin.

"What about this person?" While Cardin hesitated, Blanche pointed at someone.

"Paladin...?"

"Yes. His personality isn't very good, but with practice, won't his strength naturally improve?" She was referring to the Necromancer's natural enemy - the Paladin.

"Not a Paladin but a Paladin. Can Cardan really learn anything from there? It feels like he will only accumulate experience of failure." Matthias looked at the Paladin's name and shook his head.

Of course, even if he practiced with the worst Paladin, Cardan would learn something. For example, how to deal with Paladin, or how to resist the divine power. He would always learn something.

"No, now..." However, Cardin immediately shook his head. Although it would be helpful, there was no need to experience a battle with the Paladin in this situation.

"So what do you want to do?" Blanche asked, playing with her fingers regretfully.

"Didn't the knight just say that? There are many ways to become stronger." Cardin said with a smile, as if there was nothing to worry about.

Probably thinking that the destination for the three people had been decided, Matthias spoke while sorting the parchment on the list.

"It's good to become stronger here, but we should go back as soon as possible. How about a week first and then challenge again?" Although a week is a short time, it is enough to become stronger.

As Matthias said, they couldn't stay here for long. So Cardin and Blanche accepted his suggestion without complaint.

"Then let's spend this time well."

The first place Cardin went to after leaving the dormitory was the Mercenary Guild.

"Everyone looks strong." Cardin walked into the mercenary guild and looked at the people with surprise. The atmosphere here was not heavy.

The unique free atmosphere of the Mercenary Guild remains the same. But unlike other Mercenary Guilds, the mercenaries gathered here all look very powerful.

“Maybe there are no mercenaries below the mid-level here.” The Mercenary Guild at the Eloksam Wall would not let anyone in.

Only mercenaries who are recognized as capable can stay here and participate in the war.

"What are you doing here?" As Cardin was looking around, a bearded man cleaning glasses behind the bar spoke to him.

"I'm here to find out if there's a suitable dungeon nearby." Cardin immediately walked up to the bearded man and asked straight to the point.

Then, the mercenary guild suddenly became quiet. Those who were drinking and checking their equipment stopped what they were doing and looked at Cardin.

Hahahahahahahaha! Soon, the Mercenary Guild was filled with laughter.
