Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"You should consider it an honor to be offered this by Lord Lydon himself." From his clothing, manner, and haughty tone and expression, it was obvious that he was a noble.

"It's been a long time since I've heard such shameless advice." When he was a gangster in his previous life, he had received countless rude advice, but he didn't expect to encounter it here.

"Join me. I will make it easy for you to pass the second round of the test." This was not a suggestion, but an order. "It will be your honor to fight alongside me, your future guardian." He spoke in an arrogant and commanding tone.

What makes him so confident and shameless? The blond male, Leiden, as a qualified person in the first round, he may think he has enough strength.

But. "Being with this kind of person is bad for your mental health." Cardin didn't want to be with him at all. He was rude and arrogant, and he treated others as if it was his due, which made people unlikable.

Cardin shook his head and replied. "Thank you for your suggestion, but I refuse." "Did I hear you wrong?" "You heard me right. Find someone else." Cardin refused without hesitation, and his firm attitude made the man look incredible.

"You guy, don't you know who I am?" "Even if I knew, I would refuse. Anyway, good luck to you." Cardin shrugged and turned away.

Someone who wants to treat his teammates as subordinates, someone who is unwilling to give up his noble status and treatment. Taking the exam with such a person will only bring him mental pain.

"That damn civilian..." Leiden cursed from behind, but fortunately, he did not catch up or catch Cardan. This allowed Cardan to walk around the auditorium in peace. After a while.

"Won't we be eliminated if we keep going like this?" Cardin was still alone. No one had come to talk to him since the blond man "Leden". Even if Cardin took the initiative to propose a team, no one would accept.

"At first they seemed willing to accept, but once they knew my name, they all refused as if they were running away." Cardin didn't know the reason, and looked around with a frown.

"It would be too embarrassing if I was eliminated before the exam even started. I wouldn't be able to explain to Jack Carter." The candidates were busy trying to make up the number of candidates. In addition, several teams had already formed their teams.

Cardin felt a sense of crisis, worried that he would be one of the two eliminated. "I can't just sit there." Just as Cardin was about to take action.

"Hello!" Someone came over and spoke to him cautiously. It was a short, cute man. As soon as the man met Cardin's eyes, he quickly looked away and lowered his head.

"My name is Alvis. You are Cardin, right?" "Yes." Alvis did not look Cardin in the eye and continued. "Ah! If you haven't formed a team yet, what do you think about teaming up with me?"

"If you're going to make a suggestion, you should at least look me in the eyes first." Cardin seemed to dislike Alvis' attitude and answered expressionlessly.

"Ah, that! Yes, sorry! I'm a little shy..." From his expression, posture and tone, it was obvious that he was a timid person.

"Never mind." Although her timid personality might be an obstacle, it was much better than teaming up with arrogant noble men.

"He doesn't look like the type to resort to violence." Cardin glanced at Alvis. He was of medium build, thin, small, and his hands were clean without any scars.

He was obviously not one to use weapons, nor did he seem to be one who specialized in close combat. "As people who have passed the first round, they at least have the basic strength. What's important is character." Cardin retracted his gaze and looked around again.

The candidates were still busy, but the difference was that the number of people who had completed the team formation had increased. "Now is not the time to be picky." If it was any later, he might really not be able to take the exam and would have to be eliminated.

As long as their personality is not like that of the noble man, it doesn't matter if they team up with anyone. Cardin looked at Alvis again, smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I accept your suggestion. My name is Cardin." Suddenly. Just as Cardin accepted Alvis's suggestion, someone came over and put his hand on Cardin's shoulder.

"Hey." Hearing this familiar voice, Cardin sighed and pushed away the hand on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Leiden, who had made the suggestion before, standing there.

"You ignored Lord Leiden's advice and ended up choosing this kind of trash?" Leiden looked at Alvis with contempt, and Alvis shrank back in embarrassment.

"There are many ways to commit suicide, but this one is too much and too reckless, right? You want to give up before you even start?" Leiden taunted while pointing behind him with one hand.

There stood a burly man who looked like one of Raiden's teammates. "There's only one spot left. Come join me." This was an enticing suggestion for Cardin, who hadn't found a team yet.

"Although you have ignored me, as a poor, ignorant civilian, I will forgive you." "I refuse."

However, Cardan flatly refused again, which made Leiden, whose self-esteem was damaged, frown. "You are just a lowly guy who manipulates corpses, and you dare to put on airs in front of me."

"Since you look down on me so much, why are you still so persistent?" Faced with Cardin's unyielding counterattack, Leiden sneered.

"Even if you are a necromancer, you can still be so self-righteous in front of the nobles? You are such an ignorant guy." Leiden looked at Cardan with an unhappy expression, and finally seemed to give up and turned away.

"Let you scum torture each other." Just as he was about to leave while complaining, Cardin called him. "Wait." "What's wrong? Can't bear to leave me?" Leiden seemed to have already determined that he had won, and answered with a leisurely smile.

"Go apologize." But Cardin's next words made his smile disappear instantly. "What? What did you say?" "It's okay with me, but you should apologize to this person." Cardin pointed at Alvis next to him.

"Apologize? Why should I apologize?" "If you don't even know this, it may be a problem with your intelligence or education."

"What? Are you crazy?" Facing Cardan's answer, Leiden frowned angrily and walked towards Cardan. Suddenly, Leiden poked Cardan's forehead with his finger.

"You have to understand your own identity. No matter how hard you try, you are nothing more than a lowly necromancer of common origin." Leiden lost his temper in front of the commoners, probably because his self-esteem was hurt, and he continued in a tone of teaching and warning.

"You should be thankful. If this weren't an academy, you would have been executed for insulting the nobility." He tried to use the authority of the nobility to put pressure on Cardin, but Cardin remained unmoved.

This made Leiden even more unhappy, and he poked Cardin's forehead with his finger again. Suddenly, Cardin opened his hand. "You should be thankful. If this wasn't the academy, you would have turned into a skeleton for making me angry."

Cardan's attitude was very calm, but Leiden, who was standing in front of him, felt an inexplicable fear. Cardan did not threaten or intimidate him, he just said these words lightly.

Leiden stumbled back a step, then said with a forced smile, "If you two really get into the academy, I'll apologize to that scumbag." He didn't seem to want to apologize yet.

Leiden tried to keep a relaxed smile. "Are you making conditions?" "Is this a favor from a noble to a humble guy?" Leiden's attitude was to try to maintain his self-respect until the end, and Cardin laughed softly.

"You'd better keep your word. If you are really a noble." Cardin patted Leiden's shoulder as if to encourage him, and then turned and left. "That bastard..." He actually attacked the noble without hesitation.

Leiden was confused by this unprecedented situation, but he did not give in easily. "You must be qualified. If you fail, your hell will begin from then on." Leiden pointed at Cardin and raised his voice.

Cardin waved his hand, signaling him to leave. "Who is the noble and who is the commoner?" Alvis, who witnessed the argument between the two, couldn't help but laugh. It was as if the roles of the noble and the commoner were reversed.

"Why would you go to such lengths? Even if you don't accept my apology, it doesn't matter... I've become the source of trouble, haven't I?" Alvis said with a worried frown.

"Isn't it? We just met for the first time today. Why are you...?"

"Because we are teammates?"

"what?"

"Our teammates have been insulted, can we just sit back and do nothing?" This is a temporary team. What's more, the team will be disbanded immediately after the exam.

For such a teammate, a commoner would dare to confront a noble? These words and actions sounded incomprehensible.

"If you do something wrong, you should apologize and seek forgiveness. People who can't do this are weird." He had nothing to say. Cardin didn't regret his behavior at all. He just did what he thought was a matter of course, as calm as he was at first.

"Thank you, thank you." Alvis sincerely thanked Cardin for arguing with the nobles for him.

"Don't live with your head down. It's unreasonable to be treated like trash just because you're a commoner." Cardin said calmly, but those words somehow touched Alvis' heart deeply.

The nobles had always believed that they could ignore and insult the commoners, and Albis had never expressed dissatisfaction with this. He was just afraid of retaliation, so he had always endured their words and tried to avoid the crisis at hand.

For him, this is the life of a civilian, and it is taken for granted. "Is this person really a civilian?" However, Cardin's thoughts are completely different from those of ordinary civilians.

"Perhaps this person has never lived an ordinary life." Necromancer. A group more accustomed to living alone than with others. Perhaps Cardan has always lived in a place where there is no such thing as "class"?

Alvis seemed to understand Cardin a little and nodded. "Yes! I will remember that. As long as I graduate from the academy, no noble can treat me casually."

"If you graduate from this academy, you will get this kind of treatment?" Commoners will have the right not to be looked down upon by nobles. "Yes. If you graduate from this academy, you will get fame." Cardin seemed to have learned a new fact and nodded.

"After graduation, no one can bother me with status anymore." For civilians, this might be an opportunity to improve their status, but Cardin is not interested in status or anything like that. He is just satisfied that there will be no more troubles.

"These are things to consider after graduation. I'm thinking too far ahead." Cardin quickly shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts, then looked at Alvis and said.

"Don't we still need to find another teammate? If we continue to hang out here, we might be eliminated before the exam starts." Cardin said, looking around.

The search for teammates seemed to be almost over. If they didn't act quickly, Cardin and Alvis might become the two eliminated. "Yes, I haven't had time to tell Mr. Cardin..." Alvis scratched his head and said.

"Before I proposed to Mr. Cardin, I had already found a teammate!" Cardin looked at Alvis in surprise. "I didn't expect him to find one so quickly?"

Cardin thought that Alvis was alone like him, so he must not have found his teammate yet. "Come on, our other teammate is waiting for us!" Alvis didn't seem to realize Cardin's surprise, and he began to guide Cardin to a certain place with a bright smile.
