"Now, who would be the first one to try the durability of my armor?" I said while smiling."You're kidding right Your Highness? How can we let such a thing happen?""Now. Don't be like that. I already know who among you does not want me to become the next King so if this new invention is really not what we claimed, it is your chance to get rid of me." The crown prince replied without hesitation.Of course, none would dare. Even if I said none will be held responsible if there is something happened to me.Actually, I didn't really know if it can withstand a single magic attack of a C-rank magician.Jin made a remark that it can withstand ten consecutive magic attacks by an E-rank magician.It is the same with the special uniform in Academy but those uniforms are useless in war. Yes, it can preserve your life but you cannot move due to the uniform will affect your mobility and can render you to pass out.Let us hope that what Jin said is true.I was snapped back to reality when His Maje
Now the hardest part is to determine the spies sent by the empire. I am heading to the southern border accompanied by Beatrice, Robert, and Elena. Albert disagreed when I told them about bringing Elena which I understand. But Elena insisted saying that “Jin needs me now; he did a lot of things for us so it is time to repay him”. I do not mind being repaid as long as it is money, I mean the opportunity to let me wander around the royal palace. I sense a lot of things needed to investigate in the royal palace, especially the nobles. I’ll get back to them soon. “Are you sure you can identify the spies inside the stronghold?” Robert “No, but we can. We are a team here so we need to cooperate with each other. I already told you the plan so let’s stick to it for now. If it proves unsuccessful, we can swiftly move to the second plan.” I replied Our plan is simple. To identify the spies without them noticing it and have one of them as a messenger. I read in the old book that spies are us
After giving instruction to the knights, they led us to the house belonging to the commander of the stronghold.The commander briefed us about the stronghold and the shifting schedule, location, and the total number of knights and soldiers currently stationed. Lastly, about the movement of the empire army.According to the scouts, the empire is not moving but their supplies are arriving continuously.Two days passed quickly and the reports were still the same.We are inside the house prepared for us and Beatrice is currently identifying if there are suspicious knights and soldiers around the house by using her wind attribute.After knowing that there are no suspicious people around, we started the meeting.The stronghold is quite large and I accept the fact that my mana can only cover half of it.I figured that the whole southern part of the stronghold is the priority.Without too much ado I started the meeting.“Instructor Robert, are the royal knights placed in their designated loca
It goes without saying that through fear of unbearable mental and physical pain, the spy took a seat and agreed to tell everything.Throughout the interrogation, they have provided all the core information. The interval days of continuous supply, the formation of the army if they commence the attack, and the number of knights and magicians.We want back to the house and provide all the information to Robert and Elena. Bea orders the royal knight to bring the confidential information to Capital City and hand it to the crown prince.“You said earlier that the total number of spies is ten. But we only captured 9, are you perhaps lying to the spy?” Bea“No, they are a total of ten. It’s not your fault nor the royal knights’. I sensed 8 marks on the southern part of the stronghold but intentionally only circled the seven spot.” JinThree of them stare deeply at me.“Why is that?” Bea continues asking me“That’s our messenger. We just need to have someone escape and let the empire think tha
How was a war determined? How did a war happen? Why do we need to wage war? To survive or to achieve more power?I always ponder on that thought when I was transmigrated into this world. I came from Earth where peace is prosperous.And now the biggest task is on my shoulder, a burden I cannot carry alone no matter how powerful I become.It is a burden that was needed to be shoulder by the entire world. But this world will not listen so it is my task to find whom I can call comrades.Elena, Bea, and Robert are already in line but I need more and this war will be our first task to accomplish.They woke me up when the watchtower notified Bea that the empire’s army is currently in position and lies a kilometer away from the stronghold’s door.Robert and the army are still inside and on standby while Bea and Elena are currently discussing the plan with the captains and commander of the stronghold.I am currently inside the house I was sleeping earlier and right now; I am trying to finish m
Greith is currently observing the bombardment of his magicians to the enemies’ stronghold. Surprisingly, the barrier is rather steady and durable than what he anticipated.Hmph! Such small things will not matter when my knights successfully approached their gate.“Continue your magic attack, the knights will take care of everything once they reached the gate.” Greith shoutedThe knights and soldiers steadily approached the gate but when they were only just 250 yards away, a continuous explosion resounded the whole battlefield.Knights and soldiers can be seen flying away from the ground without their limbs and a terrifying cry was heard from the first wave of knights and soldiers.It is expected that is why only those weak are on the first wave, now that the traps are gone it is time to rampage.Without any remorse, the second wave of knights approaches and ignores their comrades who are asking for help.When they pass their comrades, a sudden sneak attack from the forest was commence
What on earth is this man doing?! How dare he insulted me to this degree!!! Then he smells some kind of burning. That’s when he realized the smoke is rushing from his pocket and when he felt it outside his pants, he gulp and cursed the young man. The empire army is still shocked at what is going on and before they can continue pondering. An explosion appears inside the barrier of their commander. The barrier only shook but after a few seconds, cracks started forming which made the smoke ooze out from the barrier. Then a sound of falling on the ground was heard while smoke still oozing from the barrier. ** (1-hour earlier) How did it come to this? If only I didn’t let the greed get the better of me from the start… Now the lord she swore fealty will make her sacrifice herself by infiltrating alone the stronghold. Good thing, she still wore the knights of Narva kingdom. If I were given a chance, I will take my family and friends to flee from the empire. Our leaders are ruthless a
Bea can’t still believe her eyes what she just witnessed right now.My God. This guy is really something, he is able to adapt quickly and change his plan. What makes him more terrifying is how he can do it alone and be a victor in the end.One hour ago, they met the spy he anticipated infiltrating the stronghold again.At first, we do not believe him but when he shows us the number of bombs he retrieves changes our minds.The main plan to make the empire believe that they are in an advantageous position was not changed but the other plan was canceled.He quickly canceled his plan to wait for the Crown Prince but rather decided to face the commander of the enemy alone.The spy told us everything, the secret weapon and the secluded path they created to infiltrate the stronghold.Jin told the knights and soldiers to vacate the stronghold using the secluded path in the forest while the magicians will continue to bombard the enemy once the empire commander reaches the gate.He also intende
After the commotion, Jin specifically vanished from the crowd and center of attention. He have a lot of things he needed to prepare.While walking the corridor, Jin heard approaching footsteps.“You did good there. I really like seeing you always save the day. Sometimes I wonder if I am deserving to be a King or you. What do you think?”The Crown Prince teases him but Jin didn’t take the bait. If he does, the former might continue this for God knows how long.“Yes, yes. I heard you. What are you going to do with all his possessions and wealth?”The Crown Prince was amused. He didn’t expect Jin to ask this question. Nonetheless, he gives his response.“According to the rules, before the Royal Family can claim the possession of a certain noble, one should undergo a trial first. The wealth and possessions remain intact on the noble’s name until proven guilty. Well, what happened earlier rules out all the laws protecting the Professor. The Royal Family has no right to claim all his wealth
“Your head.” He simply replied and suddenly, the Professor vanish in thin air.Jin would lie if he said he was not surprised by the sudden disappearance of the Professor. The Captain face’s turns solemn and his heart starts to beat faster. He can fight toe to toe with the Grandmaster even in the end he would lose, that is where his confidence to take down Professor Dan easily came from. But vanishing in the air in an instant without producing a shadow like an assassin’s profession does is enough for his heart to waver.Without further ado, Jin activated his mana sense followed by Captain. Although the latter is respectably powerful, his mana sense is weaker compared to Jin that has the earth’s affinity.The Captain gritted his teeth upon learning he didn’t sense any presence besides Jin Hale.Opening his eyes, he saw Jin Hale calmly trying to sense the professor. No sense of urgency and desperation on his face.Suddenly, the Captain felt a build-up of aura from his left side coming to
He is worthy of being the Hero and the Duke of the Narva Kingdom!The barrier protecting the audience outside sparkles upon the collision but that is not enough to destroy it.In the audience side, Elena cannot help but giggle seeing how cool Jin was. Her simple action didn’t escape the prying eyes of her father, Albert.In just a month’s time out not interacting with him, Albert was astounded to see how powerful Jin has become. Not to mention, he still keeps hiding his true potential of having an affinity to basic elements. In this simple turn of events was able to steer the fear and respect out of the audience, what if he show how he can manipulate earth, fire, water, and wind right now?Albert didn’t dare to think further and just sigh. He shifted his line of sight from Jin to the Crown Prince, peacefully seating on VVIP reserved for Royal Family. Behind him are the Royal Guards standing proudly, attentively, and always on alert in case some fool tries to harm the Crown Prince.Alb
The moment the duel begins, Professor Dan exudes an explosive aura surprising everyone. Even Jin. But that is not enough for him to be scared. In fact, it is much weaker than the aura of the late emperor.Well, let’s entertain him for now.Jin brandished his sword and was ready to intercept the attack from his enemy.Meanwhile, seeing Jin just brandished his sword and didn’t exude an aura like himself, his pride once more hurt.“I’ll make sure to destroy you tonight!” He shouted only to receive a smirk from Jin. It made him infuriated and the anger burning in his heart intensify as he pounce on him.Midair, his sword shone indicating mana was injected towards it. As he was descending, the air rippled through, and the aura and the space create friction that produces small crackles around him.As he swing his sword proportionally to intercept Professor’s Dan attack, his sword shone too. When their weapons collided, it produces a wave of air and crackles of electricity around them. Their
“Now, as all of you know. That Jin is the Hero who stopped the war between our Kingdom and the Empire and ultimately take down the evil late emperor. Without further ado, I hereby proclaim Jin as the new member of the Royal Family.”The Crown Prince announces with a full innocent smile.The hall turns silent.The atmosphere turns dull.The comprehension of everybody inside shutdown. Including Jin’s.WHAT?! He shouted through his mind when at last his brain slapped him with reality.No. No. No. The Crown Prince must be joking. Yes, yes. He is joking. There is no need to worry about trivial jokes like this. There’s nothing to worry about. Jin assured himself but his heart start to palpitate as he still waited for the Crown Prince to say that it is a joke.And alas, when the Crown Prince continues it is a contrast to what he is expected.“So, Jin Hale from now on will be a Duke of the Narva Kingdom! I know you have questions but save them for later. I learned Professor Dan challenged Duk
Days passed without trouble approaching Jin.Now, he was standing outside the luxurious large mansion where the Noble Gatherings is happening.Jin once again looks at his luxurious garb. He was wearing a white royal military uniform complimenting his handsome look.Normally, only the royal family can wear this but the Crown Prince uses an excuse this Noble gathering is solely for him to declare once again he was a hero that saved the Fyn kingdom and the Narva Kingdom from the late Emperor. So the noble who want to try backstabbing him will think twice about doing so. Only the insane will try to earn his wrath.Jin just shrugged his head and stop arguing with the Crown Prince anymore.On his right side, Elana is standing close to her so beautifully in her Black Gown that has a low neckline exposing the upper part of her chest with necklace ornaments enough to make everyone drool over. She was also wearing diamond earrings complimenting her gorgeous face. One word, breathtaking.Even Ji
“You never ceased to amaze. Do what you will.” “Thank you, Your Highness!” Jin respectfully convey this gratefulness towards the Crown Prince which made the latter snort. “Cut it. Anyway, I believe Bea has something to report regarding the ‘privileged’ Professor you befriended.” The Crown Prince told him while a smirk plastered on his face. Jin roll his eyes and sighed. Why was it always the famous professor in the academy had to be a villain? This normal cliché is taken out straight from all the novels. “That’s what you get for being so famous. Anyway, I’ll call Bea right away. Enjoy your leisure day to the fullest.” The Crown Prince laughs merrily and turns around. Not long after, Bea arrived. Seeing him, Bea’s brows furrowed deeply and a look of displeasure immediately showed on her face. “Is my face that bad that you need to greet me with a displeased expression on your face?” Bea pointed out while her left brow arched. “Of course, it is not. I just don’t have the energy
“Like an angel?” Jin asked him in disbelief. The Crown Prince nodded his head. Jin took a deep breath and carry on his question regarding the war that took place a century ago before the first great war broke out. Although before he was sent here, he saw different races which include Angel Race. But when he successfully transmigrated, his curiosity made him search for the memory of the old man but he failed to find anything about the existence of an angel. So when he heard about Neriah who is actually an Angel, his curiosity started building up once again. On how a mighty race suddenly vanishes. What he read about the book is that Angel is just a myth and no such race was seen during the first great war. Apparently, the Crown Prince’s ancestor was a secret powerhouse eon ago just like Celeste’s ancestors. But the Crown Prince’s ancestor is more unique, after all, they made a pact on the angel race eons ago. That begs another question which he asked the Crown Prince. “Wait, then
As her leaking mana expands, all different kinds of tall trees start absorbing the aura. Its trunks and branches sway which seems to imply they are happy absorbing such aura.After an hour of expending his mana, the trees start swaying. Their roots are being plucked from the ground. Their branches start moving like an arm. Slowly, something odd is happening on the trunk. Two horizontal lines appear on each side of the trunk and slowly open.And then they all bow in front of her.“You guys have been sleeping for centuries now. It is time to roam the world and do what I had tasked you to do.”After hearing her, the Ents stood up and slowly tread to the portal located in the heart of the forest.This portal was made, thanks to her relentless effort and the last remaining of the World Tree.Meanwhile, in the Narva Kingdom.Jin Hale is currently trying to help the students.They were in the open ground and hundreds of students are listening to his lecture.“Everyone, that’s all for today.
