After having an early dinner Sach knew there was no running from his fate. So he decided to head to his room, and if he was to die, he would finally escape this painful world.

"Here goes nothing." Sach took in a deep breath before placing his palm on the door.

After the array had scanned his fingerprint and made sure it was him, a click was heard and the door opened.

The room was pitch black as always, but he could not sense anyone in the room. So he stretched his hand towards the wall to turn on the lights.

'It's not as if I could do anything to the assassin even if I could see him… Why isn't it turning on?' Sach frowned as he looked at the light switch. The light switch was the same as the door, but all it needed was for anyone to hover their hand over it. He tried it multiple times but nothing was happening.

"You know that would have been a perfect opportunity for you to kill me. Unless you want to have a word with me before you end me?" Sach spoke to the darkness, and after a while, the corner of the room lit up.

It was a hard fire chair construct, but the light was dimmed to the level that only the silhouette of a man could be seen. The 2 things he could notice about the silhouette were that it was muscular and the hair was permed.

"Nope, I think you were talking about him." The intensity of the lower part of the fire chair construct increased and Sach saw the corpse of a masked man on the floor just below the hidden man.

Sach quickly got back to his senses and tried to get a look at the man on the fire construct but the light ha dimmed just in time.

"Who is he?" Sach asked the hidden man.

"That you don't need to know. What you should know is that his highness prince Bryon had sent me to save you." The hidden man said. "We knew about the assassination attempt on Blake's life, but we had no idea where and when it was to come."

"Are you saying I was considered useless?" Sach let out a self-deprecating laugh.

"It is only an idiot that would let a commoner who he/she deeply hated to spearhead such a vital operation." The hidden man said in an unchanging tone. "It was when you began helping Blake that his highness, decided to save you."

"So, what is the catch?" Having had a very tough life while growing up, Sach knew that nothing was free especially when it came with the nobles.

Having read Sach's profile, the hidden man had expected such a reply. "You are given a proposal, but there is no catch involved. Saving you is a reward for not carrying out the task, so we want nothing in return."

"As for the proposal. Prince Bryon had read about your past and achievements in the school. He has found you worthy and would like you to work for him." The hidden man said.

"Recruit me for what?" Sach couldn't help but ask.

"That you don't need to know, but you rest assured that it won't be something bad." The hidden man stated.

He's not being given much info on it was risky, but what was worse than dying. Besides he was meant to be dead by now.

"So what's in for me?" Although he was meant to be grateful for saving his life, Sach always tried to bargain for a gain in all situations.

"You will receive training to improve your fighting capabilities and be given extra resources. Also, you will receive protection from any other assassination attempts and you will no longer need to fear the nobles." The hidden man explained.

'This is more than double the last offer.' Sach was stunned by the benefits.

Although he wouldn't be given a large amount of wealth like the previous offer. He was to receive training at the noble standard and since there was no need to fear the nobles any longer, he could aim for the rank 1.

The most important benefit was receiving protection from future assassination attempts.

Sach knew how vengeful and cautious nobles were. If he didn't accept the offer, it was certain that more assassins will be sent to silence him.

"I agree to the offer." From the hidden man's words, it seemed as if Sach had an option, but they both knew the other option was death.

"Good. Your next line of action will be communicated to you in the coming days. So just live life as if nothing happened." The hidden man stood up from the fire construct chair. "I don't need to explain to you why this should be kept a secret, but if you decided to do otherwise, then I will end you personally."

It was at that moment that the light blinked for a second, but the only thing Sach could catch was that the hidden man possessed red hair.

After the blink, the light finally turned on, but both the red-haired man and the fire construct were nowhere to be found.

'Was the threat necessary?!' Sach shook his head but didn't dare to say it out, in fear that the red-haired man had just turned invisible.

'With the way the castle's core is being breached, and with how different people keep popping up in my room without the school noticing. I wonder if the core has a single defensive array on it.' Shaking his head, Sach went to take a bath and rest because it had been a long day.



Blake was still tired and would have loved to stay an hour more in the steam hot bathtub, but his protest going on in his belly was turning into a civil war.

He quickly put on his clothes and dashed towards the canteen, but on entering the students in the area stood up and began clapping. In no time, he was receiving a standing ovation from all the students in the canteen.
