Episode 3

“They have already spent so much effort, so let’s simply ask Marinoa directly…”

The boss interrupted him while shaking his head.

“Unfortunately, she’s already under the grave, as of five years ago.”

“I see…”

“There! This is the part where you play!”

The boss clicked his fingers loudly.

“Your task is to become the talentless Merida Angel’s tutor to help her 【Paladin】 awakening, guide her, and finally educate her to become worthy of the Knight Duke’s house!”

“What if it doesn’t work?”

“Although it was the pressure that Mordrew had repeatedly exerted, she didn’t seem to have improved at all, so it became necessary to hire a professional instructor. ”

“I understand that, but …”

The young man took out the form with the devastating ability value, and sighed with exhaustion.

“… why me? If it’s a task, I would like to continue to conduct interpersonal survey as it is now.”

“No, there is no more suitable person than you.” The boss gestures to himself. “Think about it, this is the face of all our troops, who are strange and weird! It’s impossible to give such a delicate task to them. If you look like a good kid on the outside, then you can’t be the enemy!”

“Okay, I understand. Then I refuse.”

He stormed off before the boss could stuff the report back into his pocket. He turned to the corridor at the end as they open the door, but the pleading voice followed him.

“I~ beg ~ of ~ you ~ ~ this is something the Duke requested you know? Just help Daddy once, okay?”

“You are just lucky that you picked me up by chance. Now that you’re wanting to take advantage of me, you act as if you are the best ‘FATHER’ in the world. You are such a bastard. ”

“Okay, okay, let’s talk about it.”

The boss’ side was mixed with a number of actions and gestures, it seemed to be some sincere accost to Kufa.

“The situation is no longer the stage of your choice, and things are starting to get worse.”

“That means?”

“It’s the criminal organization. Just got to know that Lady Merida’s ‘talentless’ rumors are being spread like wildfire across the country. It’s okay if such rumors are just being the usual gossip topic of those aristocratic women. However, those bad guys are already beginning to uncover the truth behind Mrs. Merinoa. To those in favor of abolishing the class system, the shakening the Duke’s foundation is definitely a delicious bait!”

“It’s really boring.”

They went to the end of the corridor, and pushed on the door at the same time.

Surprised looks mixed in with with the evil grin of criminals gathered on them from the opposite side of the door.

“”…………………………””

It seemed that there were also unexpected intruders for the other side as well, which resulted to seconds of silence due to the embarrassment.

Here was the study. The bookshelves and the chairs seemed to be very comfortable, and neatly arranged on the wall. A man dressed in high-end brand of tuxedo was sitting neatly on an office chair, he was clearly lacking upper body strength.

Around him, were dozens of men dressed in high-necked black clothes. The men were clearly dangerous, and from the atmosphere it’s expected that they are all equipped with weapons. The gas lamp light’s glare reflected on the blade, exuding a brilliant luster.

“…It’s boring?”

Then, the thugs took out their pistols together and pulled the trigger.

As the hair-raising gunshots were fired, Kufa raised the knife on his waist with the distinct sound of friction coming from the sheath.

His wrist moved faster than a bullet as he pulled out the knife, blocking those raindrop-like bullets altogether in a blink of an eye. He was quick, to the point where the gunshots could only be heard after he had finished deflecting all of the bullets.

His muscles made a crunching sound. With a burst of the momentum, he kicked the floor and rushed out.

He sliced through one as he charged into the middle of the group. With outstanding agility, he gracefully slashed through them, flying blood splattered on his cheek, and at this time the enemy’s group finally realized that his speed was at a superhuman level.

“Damn -”

One of the thugs held the youth at gunpoint – at that moment, his counterattack was over. Hands and knees on the floor from three swift blade flashes. First a swift cut aimed at the neck, followed by a slash to the left shoulder and armpits. With the third hit done, the body was separated as the blade was put back into the sheath.

Just when blood began spewing from the slashed parts of the black shirt thug, the youth stomped on the floor. He adjusted his bearing while being slightly disorientated, then began running away with his body onto the ground, almost as if he was fast-crawling. At the same time, a few swift blade flashes danced on the thug’s slashed wounds, effectively dealing the fatal strike.

“There’s still one more!!”

Following the boss’ training, he kicked the wall with all his strength to accelerate towards the next person standing. He dashed through the spaces between the chairs, further increasing his already inhumane speed, and under one supersonic blade strike, the enemy’s head was –

“Zing” A sharp frequency could be heard right after that hit. The enemy, to his surprise, was able to retaliate and take his hit in what deemed as milliseconds. Not satisfied, he pumped further strength into his strike, but was still not able to take it down. With this, the both of them endured each other in this state with incredible force applied to each other. – Damn strong, he thought.

After a longer glance, he saw the last one was dressed differently to the rest, with a worn black jacket over ordinary clothes, and a scarf covering their face, only exposing their deep eyes. Basically the same height and build as Kufa, so they’re probably male.

“This is impossible.. How could you kill all my men in under 5 seconds.. That dark uniform, could it be that you guys were from the cavalry regiment guild?”

“Oh, speaking about this, where are you people from, then? The subtle leather jacket you wearing pains my sight, and I am about to take them off right now!!”

In a blink of an eye, the youth let out a kick with all of his might. Almost as if he kicked with godlike accuracy and strength, repeatedly into the enemy’s jacket-covered abdomen, thighs and then into the left side of the head. Despite his efforts, none of his attack seemed to work, as if he was hitting a rock-hard figure. It was futile.

Then he turned around and used his heel to attack the face – before the moment hit, the other foot was caught.
