Episode 132
About 180cm tall.
And a plain-looking longsword tied to his waist.
And a man with a very unique hairstyle called a Mohawk.
His name is Exile Pantheon.
He is the Vice-Captain of the 3rd Guard Knights of the Tulcan Empire and one of the Crown Prince’s closest associates.
Caterpillar didn’t even know why he was there.
Marquis Hermann simply said this:
Since a distinguished guest will be accompanying you, make sure you are treated to everything you need.
There was not only a difference in power between Caterpel, a circle 8 mana user, and the Master Exile Pantheon, but also a difference in background.
The crown prince’s closest confidant.
Besides, looking at the subtle smile engraved on the corner of his mouth, I even had this thought.
That kid named Jack Valantier, that guy probably won’t be dealt with by that guy.
Well, there was no mention of bringing him alive.
After thinking about it carefully, I don’t think it’s a very important issue.
The expression and attitude of the Exile Pantheon were a bit strange, but I just ignored it.
Aren’t we on the same boat anyway?
Even if the Tulcan Empire is desperate to recruit talent, would they really try to recruit such a sloppy brat?
That was when I was thinking that way.
“Hoo… … .”
Exile, who had been walking in front, stops in his tracks.
Caterpillar, who had stopped in his tracks, looked puzzled.
Why all of a sudden?
Then I raised my head and could see.
frontal.
At the main gate of the Ascendant Duke’s villa, a man is standing.
Honestly, I was a little curious.
Coming here, Exile had been emitting a naked murderous aura, and the nearby Caterpillar had been cringing.
Then, what about the target, Jack Valanti?
I’m sure he’s hiding in bed, shivering.
however.
No it wasn’t.
A man standing at the main gate.
It was a little different from what I had seen in the portrait, but it wasn’t so bad that I couldn’t tell the difference.
Jack Valantier.

The boy was looking down at the procession of knights with an arrogant expression.
* * *
“gray.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I looked at the guys walking slowly and asked.
“Except for the kid standing in front, where do you think they are?”
Dean Gray, who was looking at them with his eyes wide open, answered with a puzzled expression.
“First of all, it is certain that he is Marquis Hermann.”
“Marquis Hermann?”
“Yes. Do you see the ponytail next to the man standing in front of you?”
“uh.”
“He is Caterpel, the captain of the Second Knights of Marquis Hermann. He did not participate in the subjugation of the Forest of Demons due to his chronic illness, that’s what I see. And the two old knights who retired four or five years ago, including the vice-captain… … I understand up to that point, but I’m not sure about the man in front. Judging from his appearance, I can guess who he is… … .”
I took my eyes off Dean Gray, whose words trailed off.
The man standing in front, who seemed to be leading them all, had a very peculiar appearance.
A hairstyle where the sides of the head are shaved and the middle hair is raised like a chicken comb.
They call it a Mohawk, but the problem wasn’t the hair style, it was his attitude.
He was oozing with blatant murderous intent, and his skills were also masterful.
Gray seems confused as to who that man is, but I know for sure who he is.
The Tulcan Empire.
The second lieutenant of the 3rd Guards Knights and one of Iskandar Tulkan’s closest associates.
Exile Pantheon.
He is one of those who will become a future Half-Blood.
He’s also the guy who got his neck cut off by me in my previous life.
in other words.
The Tulcan Empire intervened.
The question why naturally arises.
‘Look at this. Have the hardliners already smelled it?’
Even though I’ve been leaking a lot, it’s not enough for the hardliners to notice… … This is a really strange situation.
Was there a spy?
Soon, they stop about ten meters away from me.
Exile asked me.
“Jack Valanti?”

“I guess so?”
“… … Ha, what an interesting guy.”
“I hear that a lot, but your hair is so unique.”

Exile suddenly smiles brightly.
“Oh? Do you know the true value of this hairstyle?”
There’s no way I wouldn’t know.
The Mohawk style is a hairstyle mainly worn by orcs in the Forest of the Demons.
Orcs don’t call that hair the Mohawk style, they just call it the warrior style.
A hairstyle popularized by the chieftain Blackman.
The so-called chieftain style.
“Oh my, I can’t believe it, there’s someone who knows the true value of this hair. This feels really good. I think you look good with this hair, so I can introduce you to a good hairdresser myself. What do you think?”
I ended up laughing hysterically.
“I think you misunderstood what I said.”
“misunderstanding?”
“I never said your hair was nice.”
“… … What?”
It was like that in my past life too.
Exile had a strange pride in his head, but I don’t know what it was based on.
The important thing is.
That damn head.
It seriously doesn’t suit me.
“A head that causes disgust in people is violence in itself. Didn’t the crown prince teach you manners?”
“… … Ha, this kid is crazy.”
“I often hear people say I’m crazy, but I’ll just get straight to the point. Why are you here?”
“… … .”
“That’s strange. There’s no reason for you to come, but it’s so random.”
“… … .”
“What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is this your first time seeing someone so handsome?”
“… … .”
“Were you originally mute? Why can’t you speak? Why did you come here?”
Exile glares at me with blazing eyes.
But, I have to say, that’s a little strange.
Judging from the previous conversation, that guy is a very choleric guy.
But even after being provoked like this, you are just sitting there?
It’s strange… … .
When you think like that.
The guy said.
“Naturalize to the Tulcan Empire.”

……huh?
Did I hear that wrong?
“what?”
“He told me to naturalize into the Tulcan Empire.”
“What the heck, was the comedy level always this high around this time of year? What the hell are you talking about?”
“after…….”
Exile let out a sigh of anger and glared at me.
“The Crown Prince values talent. The various rumors floating around the Teslan Kingdom, the stories about you in the newspapers, no one will believe them all. However, those who know know what they see, and your talent is truly a waste. Instead of staying in this trashy country, naturalize to the Tulcan Empire. The Tulcan Empire promises the best treatment to talented people like you.”
Was it an illusion that the tone and expression didn’t match?
Scary enough to burst into laughter.
Exile adds:
“But personally, I would like you to decline this offer.”
My smile deepens.
Naturally, Exile’s smile also became deeper.
“That way I can kill you right here and now. You insolent brat.”
He spoke while letting go of the sword he was holding.
“Thanos.”
Thanos, who was behind, quickly answers.
“Yes, my lord.”
“You still can’t get past step 2?”
A while ago, Thanos became a 4th circle, and I raised the level of my training magic circle by one more level.
What appears in it is me in the past, when I was in the 2nd circle.
And I guarantee you, even if Thanos becomes a 4th circle, he will not be able to defeat me in 2nd circle.
I was good enough for that in the past.
“Do you see that guy over there?”
He pointed at Exile with his finger.
“That guy’s main weapons are a longsword and a dagger, that is, two swords.”
“Igeomryu… … Are you talking about that?”
Thanos was afraid to ask.
“How do you know that?”
Exile asked with a puzzled expression, but of course the bastard ignored his question.
I’m talking to Thanos right now.
“He mostly uses a longsword, but he also tries to stab them with a hidden dagger. His methods are very strange and vicious. He really is… … a very sneaky guy.”
Thanos shut his mouth, and Exile looked at me blankly as I showed off my ‘secret power’ that I had never shown before.
I ignored him and continued talking.

“When I was in the 2nd circle, I was exactly like that. I could clearly see the opponent’s attacks, and I could figure out where they would attack and what kind of movements they would make. So what should I do after that? After all, a match is over when you first stab a sword and cut off their neck. So it’s simple. How can I catch the opponent off guard? I just kept worrying about that.”
“… … .”
“It might be a little difficult for you now, but I’ll show you. How to deal with those who try to catch you off guard.”
Thanos nods and steps back.
In contrast, Exile, with an angry expression, was raising his spirits.
That’s because I didn’t say it myself.
This is enough.
Naturalized to the Tulcan Empire?
You’re talking nonsense that doesn’t make any sense.
Oh, and I forgot to mention this.
“Hey, Exile.”
“… … ?”
“Even if you lick the crown prince’s asshole, it’s still the same.”
“This… … little brat.”
“I’ll send you to heaven first, so go and wiggle your butt when the crown prince comes. Then you know what? He’ll lick yours.”
Exile, with tendons protruding from his forehead, kicks his feet hard.
Okay then.
Kwaaaaang-!!
A strong wave of mana.
A gust of wind blows around, and the entire building shakes.
The guy raises his head.
“I’ll make that insolent brat beg to be killed.”
He shrugged.
“If you can.”
Before I could even finish speaking, the guy kicked me out.
Kwaaang-!!
He continued, watching the boulders explode in all directions and the thing’s body stretch out, almost turning into light.
“Try it.”
The guy who approached me in an instant suddenly drew his sword and swung it.
Ss …
I took a leisurely step forward.
In fact, the act of taking a step like this is not a simple action.
A technique to predict the opponent’s sword path and move to the square of that sword path.
To put it simply, it is just a law.
I’ve probably avoided thousands of attacks with this one move in my life.

however.
It’s strange.
I thought I had evaded it perfectly, but then I saw its eyes in the air.
The eyes of a shining guy.
This guy, he must be after something.
In that single step, he just turned his body to the side.
My body twists much more than usual.
And then a dagger passed by where my head had been just a moment ago.
This is the secret weapon of the guy I was talking about earlier.
I didn’t know just now.
That guy clearly only had one sword, but now he’s holding a dagger in his other hand.
It’s not for nothing that they call him a quiet guy.
Thud- thud-
As soon as I regained my balance, I gathered all my mana into my right arm.
Light emanated from Silarion and a dark energy rose up, which became darker and stronger.
Just like that, I swung it.
Kwaaaaang-!!
There is a loud noise, and Exile is pushed backwards, his longsword and a dagger he has drawn crossed.
The eyes of the guy visible through it.
I was clearly shaking.
“… … What is this? What the hell are you?”
