Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

"Wait a moment." His eyes changed from admiration to surprise in an instant.

"This is not an ordinary living armor." The chill that can be felt from the living armor. The strong resentment of the dead can be felt.

"Yes. I received very good material."

"It's a living armor summoned using the highest-grade materials. You really surprise me." Isaac couldn't take his eyes off the living armor.

"This is the armor of an enemy knight that appeared at an auction last year. I heard that he spent a lot of money to win the bid. Could it be that it actually jumped out of my disciple's void space?"

Isaac knows the ins and outs of the armor. He is also a necromancer and has the desire to increase his strength.

This is the armor that I was interested in from the moment it first appeared at the auction, but I eventually gave it up for the growth of my juniors.

"Has a great sponsor appeared?" Isaac hid his emotions with a kind smile and looked at Cardin.

“If it were a commoner, such a patron would give such a gift…” In an instant, the name of a family emerged in Isaac’s mind.

"Douglas?" Isaac also knew the rumor that Cardan went to Lord Douglas' castle.

"If you win the duel with Klose, you might get this armor." It's not a bad thing to have a sponsor.

There are poor people among the students of Hero Academy, and there are sponsors who invest in their future.

“I just hope it doesn’t get used for political purposes.” Sponsors may manipulate students for a return on their investment.

Especially for a huge family like Douglas, if they take the students of the Hero Academy as their subordinates, they may gain great power in politics.

"Cardan." Isaac, who had sorted out his thoughts, called Cardan carefully. Cardan, who was looking at his own undead, suddenly raised his head and looked at Isaac.

"Yes, Professor."

"I hope you don't lose faith." The sudden words made Cardin look puzzled, and Isaac continued with a worried expression.

"A hero shouldn't be manipulated by anyone. Shouldn't be fooled by money and fame. Remember that."

Although he didn't know why Isaac said that, Cardin just thought it was a kind of instruction and nodded.

"Yes, I understand, Professor." Cardin never had faith in being a hero from the beginning.

He entered school just for revenge and to become a guardian. Money and fame were not his beliefs from the beginning.

"Very good." Seeing Cardin's determined eyes, Isaac finally felt relieved and smiled again.

"With the new undead, today we will have a lesson on 4-star Necromancer combat."

After the first class of the second half of the year, the students immediately headed to the cafeteria.

It seemed as if they wanted to meet their long-lost classmates. Despite the tough training, the students' expressions were brighter than ever.

Cardin also approached Alves and Kalia, whom he had not seen for a long time, and the three of them started the meal with a simple handshake.

"Alves. How's the situation at home?" Cardin asked cautiously during the meal, and Alves answered with a bright smile.

"The Douglas family has decided to manage our city! The administrators from the Douglas family have declared war on all illegal activities!"

As Cardin wished, the head of the Douglas family immediately gained ownership of the city of Repera.

"Really? That's great." Of course, the Douglas family, whose public order is very bad, has declared war on crime, and the city of Repera is gradually regaining peace.

"Thanks to this, my hometown has become a livable place again. Thank you, Cardin. My parents asked me to come visit them sometime. We will make delicious food."

Alves expressed his gratitude sincerely with a bright smile, while Cardin just smiled silently.

"What are you two talking about?" Kalia, who continued to eat nearby, asked with a question mark.

"Ah, that's..." "I met Alves by chance during the break." Seeing Alves hesitate, Cardin immediately solved her curiosity.

They caught the illegal organization of Repera and even sent the head of Repera to prison. Kalia looked at Cardin with surprised eyes.

"If he's a knight from the Lord's City, he should be at least 5-star, right?"

"I survived thanks to Professor Berlid's help. I almost died." Cardin replied with a smile and Kalia looked at him with a stern look.

"Even though you're a necromancer, you're not afraid of death, are you?" Kalia said coldly, and Cardin nodded in response.

"I originally wanted to become stronger in order to survive, but I was too greedy and it seems that I won't live long." Hearing Cardin's unrealistic words, Kalia shook her head, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Eat! Cardin, eat my sandwich! Kalia, you have one too!"

Alves seemed to dislike the atmosphere becoming heavy, so he split the sandwich on his plate in half and handed it to Cardin and Kalia.

At this time. "Are you Cardin?" A strange voice called Cardin, and Cardin turned his head naturally while eating a sandwich.

"What are so many people doing together?" Although they were wearing school uniforms, they were all strangers. The strangers surrounded Cardin and stared at him with stern eyes.

Feeling that something was about to happen, Kalia, Alvis, and the first-year students nearby held their breath and observed the situation.

"Yes, I'm Cardin."
