A few days later

A wagon carrying a few passengers was heading towards the city.

The passengers were mostly simple people of humble origins who were traveling to the capital to look for work as servants in some business or to do odd jobs. They all wore simple clothes and looked average, which is why most of the passengers felt somewhat uncomfortable when they saw the handsome Arian.

Arian, for his part, simply ignored them. Besides, the adventurer who was protecting the passengers had already told them that Arian was an orphan raised in the Blue Orphanage. Even so, the passengers found it hard to believe and preferred to be cautious for fear of offending someone who looked like a nobleman.

"I mustn't waste this opportunity; maybe if I graduate, the Academy will offer me a job as a teacher. It's optimistic, but it's not an impossible option. If it doesn't happen, maybe I'll become an adventurer; I think there will be other options," Arian mused as the carriage continued on its way to the capital.

...

A few days later.

Shortly after noon.

"Be careful! Stay alert!" shouted the adventurer protecting the carriage.

The adventurer was only a warrior at the middle level of the first Spiritual Core {First Rank (Midpoint)}.

We are being attacked by wolves from the Sterense forests.

As the wagon Arian was traveling in passed through a wooded area, sometimes when carriages or wagons traveled through these forests with a high concentration of mana, some wild and ferocious animals blessed by mana and with enhanced abilities would attack travelers.

The adventurer blew a whistle that produced an unpleasant sound, and the weaker wolves retreated.

The wagon with the frightened passengers continued to move until a loud howl was heard.

A black wolf with a blue tail appeared and instilled courage in the wolves of his pack.

"I don't think we'll all make it to the capital of the empire," said the adventurer, who thought he was going on a simple mission, because although the beasts attacked, they usually did so at night and hardly ever attacked carts or carriages with adventurers.

The reality was that the wolf in front of them was a beast in the second Rank (starting point).

The adventurer hesitated, many thoughts racing through his mind, brave thoughts and cowardly thoughts.

Arian looked at the adventurer's expression and immediately knew that he was afraid.

"Stop the other wolves," said Arian, climbing down from the cart.

The adventurer didn't know what to say.

"I don't want to die hiding like a coward," thought Arian as he walked toward the wolf.

Arian picked up a branch from the ground, his hands shaking as he tried to stay calm.

"Are you sure about this, boy?" asked the adventurer.

"It's not like there are many options. If the infinite heavens want me to live, I will live." "Arian said, trying to sound confident.

"You, move the carriage!" the adventurer shouted at the man driving the wagon.

Arian ran toward the wolf, and the blue-tailed wolf ran toward Arian.

The adventurer blew his whistle and drove some wolves away with his sword.

The wolf opened its jaws and shattered Arian's branch.

Arian stepped back, dodging a bite aimed at his face.

"Don't get nervous. Circulate the mana, just circulate the mana." Arian repeated to himself, but his heart was racing.

Arian rolled on the ground to dodge the wolf's leap. Then he looked around, grabbed another branch, and ran through the trees while trying to calm his mind.

"Ancestors, I don't know you well, but I think I will soon." Arian tried to relax his mind.

Bang!

Blood!

The wolf caught up with him and bit Arian's right shoulder.

Arian did not let go of the branch despite the pain. Arian felt the mana, made it flow to the tip of the branch.

Bang!

The branch was stuck in one of the blue-tailed wolf's eyes.

"I think I'm going to die here," Arian said as he felt the blood running down his shoulder.

Horn!

The sound of a horn was heard, a carriage was approaching, the blue-tailed wolf heard the sound of the horn and howled, causing the rest of the wolves to decide to flee.

Bang!

Arian fell unconscious to the ground.

Mart was watching what was happening around him from the window of his elegant demonic vehicle. Although a few days had passed and they were already close to the marquisate, he was a little surprised that the system had not detected the presence of demons with the energy of the demon god.

"If they are too cautious, it is also worrying; it means they are planning their next move very calmly," thought Mart, who brought a cup of Tarioc nectar that Iristel had prepared for him to his lips.

...

The next morning, they arrived at the entrance to the perimeter wall of the Sevec marquisate.

Four uniformed demons diligently opened the gates to allow the three demonic vehicles carrying the commanders, deputy commanders, officers, and Mart Sevec to enter.

A few minutes later, the vehicles stopped in front of an imposing, large, and beautiful mansion.

The three maids, Nestia, Zania, and Anelia, opened the doors from inside the demonic vehicle.

Mart Sevec approached the door, and the servants at the entrance of the mansion bowed.

"It's incredible; is this how the princes of prosperous kingdoms felt?" Mart wondered as he walked with Selenia on his right and Iristel on his left. The three were dressed in elegant red, black, and gold garments.

Behind them walked the three maids and Deniris, the beautiful beast woman with rabbit ears.

Selenia glanced subtly at Mart because she remembered what he had told her about being an entity that had awakened in the body of the real Mart.

"I think I could live peacefully in this territory if humans weren't plotting against demons, not to mention the supposed remnants of those kingdoms that Acad I defeated," Mart felt somewhat indignant, but at the same time he also felt a new motivation to save the country from demons as he looked at the huge and beautiful mansion in front of him.

[You will get triple what you earn]

Mart, Iristel, and Selenia were solemnly guided by the servants into the mansion.
