Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

It was a horrifying scene. Skeletons began to appear around Cardin and filled the examination room in an instant. It gave people the illusion that the examination room had turned into a dungeon. "What on earth is this?" "Impossible." The invigilators panicked.

Crack! Crack! Crack! The only sound in the originally quiet examination room was the sound of skeletons' bones colliding. Creak - The skeletons, making strange movements, emitted a blue glow, waiting for Cardin's order.

“Necromancer…” “Is this the third time I’ve seen a Necromancer in this entrance exam?” “It’s a rare profession after all.” Necromancer is a very rare profession.

There aren't many of them, and they usually don't reveal their identities. Moreover, they rarely accept apprentices, making the profession of necromancer even rarer.

Because of Charlotte's influence, people's views on necromancers have changed, and necromancers have begun to move out of the dark and into the light, but their numbers are not large.

"Let's not talk about whether they are rare or not, there are so many skeletons..." An invigilator tried to suppress his smile and looked at the skeletons. There were no particularly powerful skeletons. They were just abnormally numerous.

"How is this possible?" "Although he doesn't have any superior undead, the fact that he can summon so many skeletons shows that he is not an ordinary person with great strength, right?" The invigilators, who originally had no expectations of Cardin, now looked at him with sharp eyes.

"Summoning so many skeletons is so easy? This is not forced, but effortless." The most surprising thing is Cardin's condition. "How strong is his magic core?" If he summoned so many skeletons reluctantly, the magic power would be greatly burdened.

If the magic core is burdened, the body may not be able to bear it. If the magic is reversed, it will be a dangerous situation. But Cardin was safe and sound. He stood among the skeletons, looking calm and even giving people an inexplicable sense of majesty.

"He's not forcing himself. He really looks relaxed." "That's true talent." "One of the basic skills of a necromancer. Full marks." The invigilators were surprised by the many skeletons and Cardin's calm look.

"He looks young, but how old is he?" "17." "No way? It says here that he is the son of an ordinary businessman? Where did he learn necromancy?" The invigilators, who had finally come to their senses, hurriedly confirmed the admission documents.

At only 17 years old, and the son of a businessman, this scene was unbelievable. Kaka! Kaka! Standing among the group of skeleton soldiers, Cardan looked quite dangerous.

"There is great potential. I don't know if he will become a disaster or a hero." What if Cardan is the apprentice of an unknown villain? He must be killed here. "Mr. Cardan, may I ask who your master is?"

Such a sophisticated necromancy must have a master. "I wouldn't say there isn't one." He couldn't have learned it by himself. Being able to summon so many skeletons easily was a talent, but there must be someone who helped him hone this talent.

The invigilator thought so and looked at Cardin. Cardin did not answer immediately, but looked at the invigilator with a cold look. "Just as Jack Carter said."

Then he remembered the conversation with Jack Carter. -If you were asked in an interview who the master was, what would you say?

-Will they ask to that extent?

-There are many bad necromancers. Most of the famous necromancers are bad.

Jack Carter's words came true. After sighing, the invigilators waited for Cardin's answer with suspicious eyes. If Cardin was the apprentice of the evil man, they might execute him here.

-Then I have to tell a lie?

-Yes. Anyway, you can't say you are your father's son.

-Just reassure them. No proof needed. Just tell a lie that can't be proven.

Cardin directly said what he had heard from Jack Carter. "My master is the necromancer Bolt." Cardin's answer made the invigilators look at each other and start to discuss. "Bolt? Who is this?"

"I've never heard of that name." "That's not the name of a wanted criminal." At this point, a robed invigilator looked at Kadan with surprise. "Are you talking about the Bolt who was at Mount Matapu?"

"Yes. My master practices in Mount Matapu and now travels to cure incurable diseases." Whether Kadan's words were true or not, the invigilator who looked like a magician nodded with a bitter expression.

Hearing their conversation, another invigilator asked the invigilator who looked like a magician, "Is there a necromancer like that in Mount Matapu?" "It's a necromancer from Mount Matapu. Although he is an evil person, he is not a criminal."

"Really?" "He is a lonely and taciturn friend. He always walks alone and looks lonely." The invigilator who looked like a magician smiled bitterly and looked at Cardin again.

"If Bolt is not here, the truth cannot be confirmed, so I have another question." "Okay." "Bolt has a big mole on his face. If you are his apprentice, you should know where the mole is, right?" This time it was a rather sharp question.

If you don't know Bolt, you can't answer this question. "Bolt is not a famous necromancer. There are only a handful of people who know him in Mount Matapu." The invigilator waited for Cardan's answer with expectant eyes.

Under the scorching gaze, Cardin spoke slowly. "He has a soybean-sized mole above the right corner of his mouth. He always touches the mole because of the hair growing on it."

Not only the position, but also the little habit was mentioned. The invigilator who looked like a magician couldn't help but laugh. "Yes. He has a habit of pulling out moles on his beard."

The invigilator who looked like a magician signaled to the invigilators around him that they could rest assured. Seeing their appearance, Cardin temporarily admired Jack Carter's ability. "He is indeed a useful person."

The invigilator can be deceived with only the information of the Thieves Guild. "As Jack Carter said, there is no danger of being caught." Necromancer Bolt is not well-known in Mount Matapu. Although his strength is extraordinary, it is not very strong, and his personality is not good at getting along with others.

Of course, few people knew that he was from Matapu Mountain, and even fewer people knew that he left Matapu Mountain due to an incurable disease. Moreover, he ended his life in a remote village due to an incurable disease, so it is impossible to confirm the information in detail.

Cardin laughed inwardly, waiting for the invigilator's words. "Mr. Cardin, you have extraordinary talent." The invigilators, their doubts dispelled, began to speak again.

"Ah, and now we don't have to display the skeletons anymore." Snap! Snap! Snap! After confirming talent, strength, and potential, now it's time to ask for the skeletons that are all over the examination room to be cleared. Whoosh. After confirming the invigilator's intention, Cardin stretched out his ringed hand and muttered softly.

Then, whoosh, the skeletons turned into powder and were quickly sucked into the ring. The examination room was empty in an instant, and people felt an indescribable emptiness. The presence of so many skeletons was so strong.

"Mr. Cardin, please wait a moment. We need to discuss this a little bit between ourselves."

The invigilator sitting in the middle seemed to seek understanding, and after making a gesture, he immediately started the meeting. This period of time was not long. "Mr. Cardin." "Yes." "Congratulations on passing the first round."

Unanimously agreed, no one objected to Cardan's passing. "Thank you." Cardan bowed respectfully, and the invigilator who looked like a magician stood up and walked towards Cardan. "Please accept this."

He pulled something out of his pocket, handed it to Cardin, and continued. "In 15 days, bring this badge to Hero Academy. It's a symbol of passing." A blue gem badge with a lion pattern engraved on it.

"Okay, I got it." Cardin took the badge and nodded. "Well, I'll see you in 15 days. You can go now." After the test, Cardin turned around without hesitation and walked towards the door.

Soon after Cardin left the examination room, the invigilators seemed relieved and let out a long sigh. "Some amazing talents have appeared one after another."

"Yeah. Maybe this class will produce the next generation of guardians?" "We'll have to wait and see. There are many outstanding students in the academy now." Then they easily continued the conversation that they could not have had in front of Cardin.

"Ah! How strong is that necromancer named Bolt?" "No. He's quite good in theory, but the actual combat is completely different." The invigilator who looked like a magician shook his head and continued.

"Bolt taught me well in theory and fundamentals. But just looking at the number of skeletons, that's natural talent."

"A dragon has appeared in a rural city?" The invigilators all looked at the door Cardin left through. "The second round of exams is also worth looking forward to."

After leaving the examination room, Cardin immediately found the tavern "Cat's Dinner". "Let's talk about our next plan, shall we?" Cardin placed the badge given by the invigilator on the bar. "..." Jack Carter, who had confirmed the badge, held back his laughter.

"A blue gemstone with a lion pattern..." This is a symbol only given to those who pass the first round, no doubt. "I didn't expect you to pass."

Even the children of heroes didn't expect to get the symbol of passing so easily. How strong does Cardin have to be to pass the famous Hero Academy exam?

"And what is this calm attitude?" Cardin's expression showed no joy. He just looked very calm, as if it was natural.

Even if one has outstanding talents and abilities, if one does not have potential, he will be rejected by the college exam. Passing the exam with flying colors shows that Cardin is even better than Jack Carter expected.

Jack Carter was distracted for a moment, and smiled again. "Congratulations on passing, Mr. Cardin. As expected of Mr. Charlotte's son, you are indeed different." Can you pass unconditionally just because you are the child of a hero? If you ask this question, the answer is no.

"Although they have inherited the blood of the Guardians, many of them were eliminated." Some of the current Guardians' children and grandchildren also want to enter the Hero Academy.

But only a handful of people made it through. Click. Jack Carter naturally placed the glass of orange juice on the bar. "So, let's talk about the next plan?" "Okay." Cardin glanced at the orange juice, then looked at Jack Carter and nodded.

"First of all, there are still 15 days until the second round of exams, right? It takes about 4 days to get to the capital from here, so we have to leave at least a week in advance." There is only one week left to prepare for the exam. It is not possible to make any special preparations in such a short time. "It is really difficult to prepare anything big in a week." "I am afraid so.

Keeping in the best physical condition is the most important thing. Rest is also necessary. " Cardin nodded as if in agreement, and Jack Carter continued with a smile. "I will try to collect the information needed for the second round of exams within a week. I will also prepare a carriage and a groom. "

"Okay. I'll leave it to you then. Oh, by the way, how did the second round of exams go?" Upon hearing this question, Jack Carter narrowed his eyes temporarily and looked at Cardin. "Mr. Charlotte didn't say anything? He really doesn't know anything. It's like he just came out of the deep mountains and forests." Jack Carter couldn't help laughing.

"The second round of exams is through 'Guardian's Way.'" "Guardian's Way? What is that?" "It's the examination room in the academy. It's a man-made dungeon space, and it is said that it will not collapse no matter what impact it is subjected to." Cardin awaited Jack Carter's next words with curious eyes.

"There, you will be tested by the instructor and guardian. The test will be divided into two sessions." "Can't we know in advance which instructor and guardian they will be?"

"Unfortunately, no. The instructors, guardians, and exam contents will be different each time, so I can't tell you exactly what the exam contents will be." Cardin's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Will the guardian come to the exam room in person?" Cardin seemed to be thinking about something and closed his mouth. Jack Carter continued carefully.

"Besides, the second round of exams may require risking your life." Hearing this, Cardin tilted his head and looked at Jack Carter again. "Require risking your life? It's just an exam?"

"The second round of exams at the Hero Academy is known to be dangerous. It is said that the exam is a test of survival." Hearing that this second round of exams was a test about "survival", Cardin smiled unconsciously.

"Well, not bad." Cardin said this and slowly stood up. Jack Carter nodded and asked the question. "Mr. Cardin, what are you going to do this week? Do you have any plans?"

"No particular plans. Just going to do what I've always done." Cardin smiled wryly as he recalled the 17 years he had spent in the Charlotte mansion. "Need a training ground? I know a few good places near the city. Want me to recommend them?"

"No, I plan to train somewhere with corpses." "Okay. If you need anything, feel free to let me know. I'll prepare it for you as soon as possible." Cardin smiled and nodded. "There's nothing you need at the moment, I'll go back first."

"Okay. See you in a week." Cardin nodded and turned to walk towards the entrance of the tavern. "Guardian... I really hope the 15 days will pass quickly." Although not all, he didn't expect to see the object of revenge so soon.

Cardan walked out of the tavern with a look of anticipation, not uneasiness. After all, for Cardan, the existence of the guardian was not an object of fear, but a target of revenge.
