The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman - [Author: Writing Ant]

Chapter 48

Karoon's cold voice resounded throughout the extensive Central Martial Palace.

"Ah, e-excuse me. I need to be careful since my magic sometimes goes awry. Which trainee should I be paying attention to in particular?"

"Hmph. It's Raon."

Karoon, who seemed satisfied with his wording, slowly nodded.

"Raon Zieghart..."

Jake's eyes shone. He knew that Raon had defeated Burren, who was Karoon's son. He could finally understand Karoon's intentions.

'He is targeting Raon.'

After winning against the third prince of the Owen Kingdom recently, he'd been praised as the very best among the trainees. There was no doubt that Karoon's target was Raon.

"Despite it being a drill, it's pretty common to get injured during actual battle training. And there are rare occasions of that injury being permanent.'

"That's true. I've seen that happen a few times as well."

"That's why I've prepared a decent monster."

When Karoon snapped his fingers, the butler that was standing at his right side brought along an orc over two meters tall.

Jake swallowed hard. He could immediately tell since he was very experienced with dealing with orcs. Even though the orc in front of him looked plain, he was at an extraordinary level.

"It's an orc from the Dollan Mountains."

"Dollan Mountains..."

The Dollan Mountains were a vicious area where many powerful monsters resided. An orc living there would've been at a completely different level from a normal orc.

"I'd like you to look after him by sending out this orc, so that no misfortune will happen to him."

Karoon rolled up the corners of his lips. He told him to look after him, but he meant to give him a permanent injury using the orc.

"Ah. And if, by any chance, the orc ends up causing trouble-take care of it immediately, so that it won't cause any problem afterwards. If you properly complete this job, I'll recommend you as the vice master of the magic tower in the future."

"Th-thank you!"

"You should leave."

"Yes! I'll obey no matter what."

Jake bowed until his nose almost touched the ground. Saving the orc using the Save Monster magic, he left Karoon's room.

"Did anyone see him come here?"

Karoon turned his head to the butler that had brought the orc.

"Since he took a detour to the inner part, there's no one that knows the magician came to this place."

"He has quick wits. Support him once he successfully handles this matter."

"Shall I support him until he becomes the vice master of the magic tower?"

"Of course not. Just enough that he will do anything to get more."

"Understood."

The butler smiled. He bowed his head and left the room.

"Raon Zieghart..."

Karoon murmured Raon's name in a low voice.

He won against his son Burren, defeated Martha, and made the third prince kneel even though he was called Owen's future.
