Welcome back to, Understanding Quantum Information. And Computation My. Name, is John Watrous and I’m? The technical director of Education at IBM? Quantum, This is the second lesson of the series If you haven 39. T already watched the first lesson be sure to check it out. We’ll be building directly on what we talked about in the first lesson, so it’s important to have an understanding of that material. Going into this lesson Also be aware that the series includes textbook content in addition to videos, and you can find a link to the textbook content in the video description. This is lesson two of unit one of the series Unit. One covers the basics of quantum information. In the previous lesson, we talked about quantum information in the setting of single systems, meaning that we have one system that stores information and we’re describing how it works in isolation. We spent a fair amount of time on classical information, mainly to establish a point of reference and to highlight the mathematical similarities between quantum and classical information. We also saw how quantum states can be represented by vectors, specifically vectors having complex number entries and Euclidean norm equal to one and we discussed standard basis, measurements and unitary operations. In this lesson, we’re gon na expand our view to multiple systems, each of which is capable of storing quantum information. This is not simply a matter of saying that each individual system works as we discussed last time. There is a sense in which the hole is greater than the sum of the parts, and that’s also true of classical information. When probabilities are involved, Multiple systems can interact with one another and they can be correlated with one another, for instance, and in the quantum setting. This includes the possibility that the systems are entangled, which is a term that you may have heard about before. Entanglement is a very important phenomenon in quantum information, and we’ll have a lot more to say about it, as the series continues. There is a simple principle, however, that offers us quite a lot of traction for thinking about and understanding quantum information for, multiple systems, and that is that we can always take two or more systems and put them together or just conceptually think about them together and view Them as if they form a single compound system, And when we think about a compound system like this, as if it’s a single system, we recognize that it must be described in a way that’s consistent with everything we learned in the previous lesson. On single systems, We’ll see how this works and how the description of quantum information from multiple systems emerges, pretty naturally from how it works for single systems. Based on this one principle, Here’s an overview of the lesson and it happens to be identical to the previous lessons overview. But this time our focus will be on multiple systems rather than single systems. Just like we did in the previous lesson and for exactly the same reasons, we’re going to start with classical information. Once again, we’ll see very close similarities between the way that quantum and classical information work. At a mathematical level, We won’t. Typically, focus so much on classical information or start each lesson in the series with classical information like this, Subsequent lessons will tend to be focused much more exclusively on quantum information and computation, But here at the beginning this is a sensible approach and it goes back to The idea that thinking about classical information can serve as a valuable source of guidance for understanding quantum information. We’re also gon na discuss the important concept of a tensor product in this part of the lesson. Tensor products are critically important in quantum information, but they also arise in the classical setting. Then we’ll move on to quantum information and much like in the previous lesson. We’ll discuss quantum states, standard basis, measurements and unitary operations. This time for multiple systems. We’ll start by talking about classical states of multiple systems, Recall from the previous lesson that a classical state of a system is a configuration of that system that can be recognized and described unambiguously without any uncertainty or error, And in mathematical terms, when we refer To a classical state set, we just mean a finite and non empty set. We’ll begin our discussion of multiple systems by supposing that we have just two systems X and Y X has some set of classical states, which we’ll call sigma. Just like in the previous lesson and y has some set of classical states that we’ll call gamma The set sigma and gamma could be the same set or they could be different, but we’re giving them different names, not only because they could be Different sets, but also because it’ll help us to keep things clear. If we give them different names, We’ll find that it’s pretty easy to generalize this entire discussion from two systems to any number of systems, but by starting with two systems. We can focus on the fundamental ideas without getting bogged down in details. Now. Imagine that we put X and Y side by side with X in the left and Y on the right, and we view these two systems together, as if they form a single compound system. To give this new system a name, we can write it as an ordered pair like this, or we can just juxtapose the two letters like this. These are both common and we can pick whichever one we want, or whichever one is more convenient, Either way we’ll, read it as XY. A very natural question to ask at this point is: what are the classical states of this new compound system XY, And the answer to that question is that the classical state set of XY is the Cartesian product of the two classical state sets sigma and gamma, which You can see defined right here At a given moment. X has some classical state, which is an element of sigma and Y, has some classical state, which is an element of gamma, and we’re simply thinking about these two states, together as if they form a single state and that’s precisely the notion that The Cartesian product captures, We have have two elements, one from each of our sets, and we want to think about these two elements together as if they form a single element from a single set. To be clear. There is an assumption here, which is that we know which one of our systems is X and which one is Y, and there’s no confusion between them. It’s, not important. That X is physically. On the left, hand, side and Y is on the right, but rather that the two systems are distinguishable and that we’ve decided to order them this way, just so that we can keep straight, which one is which Here’s. A very simple example where sigma is the binary alphabet and gamma is the set containing the four card suits If X, stores, a binary value and Y stores, one of the four card suits. Then there are eight possible classical states of the pair XY, which you can see listed right here For more than two systems. This generalizes in a straightforward way, In particular, if X1 through Xn, are systems having classical state sets sigma one through sigma n respectively. Then, if we imagine grouping the n systems together and viewing them as one system, the classical state set is given by the Cartesian product of the n, classical state sets sigma one through sigma n. As you can see right here on the screen, The Cartesian product can be defined like this for any number of sets. For example, if we have three systems and they all share the binary alphabet as their classical state set. So in other words, we have three bits. Then there are eight possible classical states of the three bits viewed together as a single system, and you can see them listed right here. Each system individually can be in the state, zero or one, and we range over all of the possible combinations. An n tuple of classical states can, alternatively, be written as a string where we drop the parentheses and the comma, like you see right here, And this is particularly sensible when we think about classical states as symbols, as in the very common example of the binary alphabet, That we keep coming back to Sometimes it’s very convenient to do this, and it tends to make our expressions simpler and less cluttered. The notion of a string is in fact formalized in mathematical terms through carte and products. So this is really just an alternative. Notation and not something conceptually different As an example, let’s say that we have 10 bits X1 through X10. That means that the classical state set of the 10 bits together, which you might naturally think about as a 10 bit register in a computer, for example, is the tenfold Cartesian product of the binary alphabet with a self, And if we write those states like strings, they Look like you see right here: there’s 1 024 of them. So of course they’re not all listed here. These three dots right here are supposed to indicate that there’s a pattern that you can deduce, and hopefully you get the idea Now there’s a convention that we’re going to follow for ordering the the elements of Cartesian product sets and it’s important to clarify this, for the sake of representing both probabilistic states and quantum states as vectors. The convention is that we order the elements of Cartesian product sets, lexicographically, which basically just means dictionary ordering To be more specific. We start with the assumption that each of the individual sets that we’re taking the Cartesian product of already has its own ordering and we think about a given n, tuple or a string as if it’s a word and we order them alphabetically. Another way to say this is that the positions within an n tuple or a string decrease in significance from left to right, just like when we write numbers using the digits zero through nine Here’s, an example that’s meant to clarify this. If we take the Cartesian product between the sets containing one two and three and the binary alphabet, we get a set containing six elements, and here they’re, listed in the order that’s being described. All of the elements with a one. In the first position, come before all of the elements with a two in the first position and they come before all of the elements with a three in the first position And whenever two elements agree in the first position, we fall back on the ordering in the Second position So that’s the ordering that we use for Cartesian products, Notice that when we use this convention and we write n tuple as strings, we observed some very familiar patterns. For example, the Cartesian product of the binary alphabet with itself is ordered. Like you see right here, and you can think about these strings as being ordered, numerically, if you take these strings as binary encodings of non negative mixtures and this generalizes to any string length Moving on to probabilistic states, we already know from the previous lesson that a Probabilistic state associates a probability with each classical state of a given system. If we have a compound system where we’ve taken two or more systems – and we’re viewing them collectively as if they form a single system like we just discussed, then a probabilistic state of this compound system must assign probabilities to the elements of the Cartesian product of the individual systems classical state sets That’s, because that is the classical state set of the compound system. For instance, supposing that X and Y are bits we have this example of a probabilistic state of XY. The probability that both bits are zero is one half and the probability that both bits are one is one half, and so the two bits never disagree. It’s a valid probabilistic state of XY, and we can, alternatively, write it as a vector like you see right here, and here you can see that we are following the convention that I described a moment ago for ordering these classical states. This is an example of a probabilistic state where X and Y are correlated, and this is the sense in which the hole is greater than the sum of the parts, As I suggested before it’s. Not simply that we have a probabilistic state of X and a probabilistic state of Y, and we put them together, but rather we first put the systems together and then we think about probabilistic states of the compound system To be more precise, about correlations among systems. We start by defining the notion of independence, which is essentially the absence of correlation Here. By the way, the term independence refers to statistical independence as opposed to linear independence of vectors, for instance, It’s fundamental notion in probability and statistics. If we have two systems X and Y – and we have some probabilistic state of XY in mind, then we say that X and Y are independent. If the formula that you see right here is true for every choice of classical states, a and b of X and Y, One way to interpret this condition of independence is that it says that the probability for X to be in any one classical state and the Probability for Y to be in some other classical state have absolutely nothing to do with one another, So learning what state one of the systems is in doesn’t affect the probabilities associated with the states of the other system. If you imagine randomly choosing some classical state of X according to some procedure and then randomly choosing some classical state of Y, according to some other procedure, that isn’t in any way connected to the one for X, like say if one person flips a coin And another person in a different room rolls a die. Then this is the formula that you would use to get the probabilities for different combinations of states to appear. The point of the definition is that independence is when the formula is valid When we think about probabilistic states in terms of probability vectors. There’s a simple formulation of this condition, specifically if we have a probabilistic state of XY, which we can express as a vector in the direct notation. As you see right here, Then, to say that X and Y are independent is equivalent to the existence of two probability: vectors cat Phi and cat Psi, which, by the way, we can simply read as Phi and Psi for the sake of brevity, representing probabilistic states of X and Y separately that satisfy this equality that you see right here For all choices of a and b it’s, essentially a rephrasing of the definition in terms of vectors. For example, here’s, a probabilistic state of a pair of bits, XY for which X and Y are independent. The condition that’s required for independence is true for the vectors that you see right here. That is the probability for each possible setting, for the two bits is given by the product of the corresponding probabilities for the individual bits. For instance, the probability for both bits to take the value. Zero is equal to one sixth, which is equal to one quarter times. Two thirds, and likewise for the other three possibilities which can be checked one at a time For the probabilistic state we saw earlier. On the other hand, where we have two bits that always agree and take the values: zero and one with probability, one half we don’t have independence and that’s, why we say that the bits are correlated Correlation simply means a lack of independence. A simple way to argue that the two bits are not independent is to suppose that they are and to derive a contradiction specifically if the two bits were independent, there would have to exist numbers q0, q1, r0 and r1 representing probabilities for the two individual bits, so That these equations right here are satisfied. These are the probabilities that come from our vector, and these are the equations that must be true by the condition of independence. But if we take a look at this second equality right here, we see that it demands that q0 times. R1 is equal to zero, but the only way that the product of two real numbers can possibly be equal to zero is if at least one of those numbers itself is equal to zero. This is sometimes called the zero product property of the real numbers. Another way to say it is that the product of two non zero real numbers is always non zero, So this equality right here implies that either q0 is equal to zero or r1 is equal to zero, but from the first and the last equalities we see that Neither of those two alternatives can possibly be true. If q0 is equal to zero, then this product must equal zero, but it’s not equal to zero, and if r1 is equal to zero, then this product must be equal to zero, but that’s not true either. So we have a contradiction and we conclude that X and Y are not independent, so they’re correlated The notion of independence that we just discussed and specifically is formulation in terms of probability. Vectors is closely connected to an operation that can be performed on vectors known as the tensor product. Tensor products can be defined not only for vectors, but also for matrices, and in fact the notion of a tensor product can be defined for many other sorts of mathematical objects as well. They can be described in a pretty abstract way that’s both important and useful in pure mathematics, but we can also define tensor products for vectors in a very simple and concrete way, and that’s the path that we’ll take in this lesson, If we have two column, vectors, Phi and Psi written in the forms that you see here, where sigma and gamma are any choice of classical state sets, we like or indices, if you prefer, then the tensor product of these vectors is the vector that you see right Here We range over all elements of the Cartesian product of the two sets sigma and gamma, and the entry of this vector that corresponds to each pair ab, which is written as a string. Right here is equal to the product of the corresponding entries of these two vectors. In other words, the ab entry of Phi tensor. Psi is the product of the a entry of Phi and the b entry of Psi, and that’s the meaning of what’s written down here. In essence, this is the same operation that we just saw a few moments ago when we discussed independence, and now we’re just giving a name to it Here,’s exactly the same example that we saw a moment ago, written more explicitly in terms of The tensor product – Again we have that one sixth is equal to one quarter times one third, one 12th is equal to one quarter times. One third and so on Here by the way, are a couple of alternative ways to write the tensor product of two vectors. When we’re using the direct notation – and we write two cats next to each other like this, it means the tensor product. So you can think about the tensor product as kind of being the default way to multiply to column vectors together. It wouldn’t make any sense to think about a product of column. Vectors like this in terms of matrix multiplication, because the dimensions don’t work right. So there’s really no concern about ambiguity here. We can also write the tensor product like this. Inside of a cat – and it means exactly the same thing – It’s the tensor product of the two vectors, The first one is very common and in fact it’s, perhaps more common to write a tensor product like this. Without the tensor product symbol than it is to include the symbol, The second one is definitely much less common, but it is sometimes quite helpful, mainly as a way to eliminate the need for additional parentheses. In certain situations. We can also express tensor products explicitly in terms of actual columns of numbers, as you see right here. If we take the tensor product of these two column vectors right here, then this is the vector that we obtain, and you can see that the entries here are products of the entries coming from these two vectors. The ordering of the entries of the tensor product is consistent with the definition from a moment ago, provided that we follow the convention that I described earlier for ordering the elements of Cartesian product sets Following that convention is equivalent to thinking about the indices of the first Vector as having higher significance than the indices of the second vector, so you can see that as we go through the entries of the tensor product, we have all of the products involving the first entry of the first vector on the left, which is alpha one. Then all of the products involving the second entry of the vector on the left, which is alpha two and so on Here,’s, an example where the vector on the left has three entries and the vector on the right has four entries. So we can see more clearly what’s going on. We have three entries in the first vector, so we start by writing down three copies of the second vector, and then we multiply each one of those copies by the corresponding entry in the first vector like this, We bring the alphas inside like this, and here we’re just multiplying vectors by scalers and finally, we remove the parentheses from the copies and we form a single column vector, like you, see right here As an important aside notice that we have the following formulas for the tensor product of standard basis. Vectors. If we take the tensor product of cat, a and cat b, which we can write with the tensor product symbol or without, as you see here, then the result is simply cat ab. If we want to write ab as an ordered pair rather than a string, we can do that and we obtain this expression right here, but it’s a lot more common to write this right here where we emit the parenthesis. But we leave the comma. There is a sense in which this one with the parenthesis is perhaps more correct, but it’s a pretty standard convention in mathematics that parentheses are removed when they aren’t necessary or helpful. You can think about them as being implicit in this one right here and it’s. Just less cluttered and nicer to look at The tensor product has an important property, which is that it’s bilinear, and what that means is that it’s, linear in each of the two arguments, provided that the other one is fixed In a bit more Detail it’s, linear in the first argument, which is expressed by these two equations that you see right here, the first one says that if we add two vectors, Phi1 and Phi2 and then take the tensor product with Psi, we get the same result. If we took the tensor product with Psi first and then we added The second one says that if we multiply some vector Phi by some scaler alpha, and then we take the tensor product with Psi, the result is the same as if we first took the tensor Product of Phi and Psi, and then we multiply the result by alpha And we also have linearity in the second argument, which is the same, except that the roles of the two arguments are swapped. This product of bilinear is pretty straightforward to verify from the definition, but it’s good to write it down like this, because we’ll often make use of these formulas Notice by the way that scaler float freely through tensor products. In the sense that’s expressed by these qualities that you see right here, That is there’s, no difference between multiplying the first argument by a scaler alpha in this case multiplying the second argument by that scaler or multiplying the entire thing by that scaler. These equalities follow from these two equations right here and because there’s no difference between these vectors. We can just write the expression, as you see right here, with no parentheses, because there’s no need for them. They’re, not adding any clarity or removing any ambiguity, so we just remove them and we get a cleaner expression. All of this generalizes to three or more systems. We can define the tensor product of of three or more vectors by generalizing the formula for the tensor product of two vectors in the natural way which you can see expressed right here. Each entry of the tensor product is given by the product of the corresponding entries of the vectors that we’re, taking the tensor product of An equivalent way to define the tensor product of three or more vectors is to do it recursively, ultimately, falling back on The definition of the tensor product between two vectors. So if n is at least three, we can think about the tensor product of n vectors Phi1 through Phi n as being the tensor product between whatever vector we get by taking the tensor product of the first n minus one of them with the last vector. And if you want to know what the tensor product of the first n minus one vectors is, you either apply the formula again in case n minus one is at least three or use the definition from before. If n minus one is equal to two, The two ways of thinking about tensor products of three or more vectors are equivalent. This time, when we have three or more vectors that we’re taking the tensor product of we don’t use the term bilinear. We instead use the term multiline, but the idea is the same. The tensor product is linear in each of the positions, provided that the vectors in all of the other positions are fixed. Moving on to measurements of multiple systems in probabilistic states, we immediately obtain a specification for how measurements work for multiple systems by simply thinking about them, collectively as single systems, provided that all of the systems are measured. As a simple example, let’s suppose that we have two bits X and Y and collectively they’re in this probabilistic state right here, which we saw before. Naturally, if we measure both of these bits, we’ll get the outcome: 00, meaning a zero for the first measurement and a zero for the second measurement. With probability one half and we’ll get the outcome. 1. 1 with probability one half as well. That’s quite straightforward In essence, measuring all of the systems is equivalent to measuring the entire compound system. If we don’t measure all of the systems, however, but instead we just measure some of the systems, then the situation – isn’t quite so immediately. Clear restricting our attention once again to the case of just two systems to see the essence of what’s going on in as simple as setting as possible. We can ask the following question: suppose that we have two systems X and Y that are together as a pair in some particular probabilistic state. What happens if we measure just X and we do nothing to Y Well, we can answer this question using some basic probability. Theory: First, we know that the probability that the measurement gives a particular outcome has to be given by this formula that you see right here. We can think about the probabilities for each of the classical states of the pair XY, as if we did measure both and we sum over all the probabilities that are consistent with X being in whatever classical state a we’re interested in. So that’s. Why the sum right here is just over the classical states b of Y. One way to think about this formula: is that the probability of seeing a particular classical state of X, if we measure it, has to be consistent with the probability of seeing that state? If we had also measured Y, even though we didn’t that’s very natural and intuitive The probability for a measurement of X to yield, a particular outcome can possibly depend on whether or not Y was also measured, irrespective of the outcome. So that tells us what the probabilities are for the different possible outcomes of the measurement, but what happens to Y or our knowledge of Y? As a result, The answer is that there still could exist some uncertainty about the state of Y as a result of having measured X and seeing a particular result, And that uncertainty is represented by this formula right here for the conditional probability. That Y is in some particular classical state b, given that X is in some classical state, whatever classical state a we happen to have measured To be precise, the probability that Y is in some classical state b, given that X is in the classical state. A is equal to the probability that X is in a and Y is in b, divided by the probability that X is in the classical state a So. If we measure X, we’re going to see different, classical states with probabilities determined by this formula. Right here and depending on what outcome we get, we may still have some uncertainty about the classical state of Y and that uncertainty is reflected by this formula right here. There’s actually a very easy way to rephrase all of this and to perform calculations for specific cases using the direct notation – and it goes like this – We start by writing down the probabilistic state of XY as a vector like this, and this is completely general. The entries are denoted by Pab and these could be any numbers. So long as the entire vector is a probability vector. We can express cat ab as a tensor product. Like you see right here, and then we can use the bilinear of the tensor product and specifically the fact that it’s linear in the second argument, to express this vector. As you see right here, What we’re doing is effectively isolating the standard basis. Vectors on the left hand, side and putting whatever we need to, on the right hand, side to allow that, because that’s gon na reveal what happens when we measure the first system X, Specifically the probability to get a particular outcome. A is the sum over all of the probabilities that appear in the parenthesis next to cat a And conditioned on getting a particular outcome. A the probability vector that describes whatever uncertainty remains about Y is the vector that was in the parentheses next to a, Except that we have to normalize it to make it a probability vector, and that is is to say that we have to divide that vector by The sum of the entries in that vector to form a probability vector Here by the way the sum is taken overall c in gamma, rather than b just to use a different variable name so that there won’t. Be any confusion about the scope of the variables, if you will The sums in the numerator and the denominator should be considered as separate things, and we can avoid any chance of confusion about that by using different variables for the two sums Here:’s a quick Example to illustrate how this all works. Suppose XY is a pair of bits in this probabilistic state right here to understand what happens when we measure the first bit and we do nothing to the second. We write the vector, as you see right here, where cat zero and cat one in the first position are isolated, just as we described a few moments ago. The first possibility is that the measurement outcome is zero and the probability of that happening is the sum of the probabilities inside of the parentheses that are tensored to cat zero. So we get one 12th, plus one quarter, which is one third and conditioned on the outcome. Zero, The probabilistic state of Y becomes this vector, normalized or equivalently, divided by the probability that we just calculated, and so what we get is this vector right here. The second possibility is that the measurement outcome is one and the calculation is done in a similar way. Using the second term, in the expression rather than the first term, And if you’d like to verify the details, go ahead as always and pause the video to give yourself a moment do that You can perform the same sorts of calculations to figure out what Happens when Y is measured rather than X, It’s the same method up to a symmetry between the two systems. This time we write the probability vector like this isolating the standard basis, vectors on the right, like you see right here, but otherwise it works in exactly the same way. You can also use this method for more than two systems. It can get a little bit messy. Just to write down all of the required expressions, but conceptually it’s exactly the same idea. Finally, for the portion of the lesson on classical information, we’ll take a look at operations on probabilistic states of multiple systems, Following the same reasoning that we’ve now seen a couple of times. We conclude that probabilistic operations on multiple systems are just like probabilistic operations on single systems represented by stochastic matrices, But this time those matrices have rows and columns that correspond to the Cartesian product of the individual system.’s classical state sets. That is, we’re. Simply viewing a compound system as if it’s a single system and falling back on the description for how probabilistic operations work for single systems. From the previous lesson Here,’s, an example of an operation called a controlled, NOT operation on two bits X and Y. This is, in fact, a deterministic operation and the way that it works is that if X is equal to one, then a NOT operation is performed on Y and otherwise, if X is equal to zero, then nothing happens. The bit X is sometimes called a control bit because it determines whether or not the NOT operation is applied to Y and Y is called the target bit because it’s the bit that gets acted upon by the NOT operation. You can also imagine swapping the roles of X and Y so that Y becomes the control bit and X becomes the target, but that’s a different operation from the one that’s described here, because the operation isn’t symmetric between X and Y. They’re both called controlled, NOT operations, and we just need to specify which one of the bits is the control bit and which one is the target bit. This operation has the action that you see right here on standard basis, states, and you can check that action against the definition of the operation, And here is the matrix representation of the operation. When we think about this operation. We have in mind that there are these two separate bits and they play the roles that I just described, with X, being the control bit and Y being the target bit, but there’s really nothing about this action here or this matrix representation that demands that We think about these two bits as being separate bits. We could, alternatively, just think about this operation as being a deterministic operation on a system having four classical states that we’ve decided to name 0. 0, 0, 1, 1, 0 and 1 1. Here’s. Another example of a probabilistic operation on two bits which isn’t a deterministic operation this time The operation sets Y to be equal to X, with probability one half, and otherwise it goes the other way and it sets X to be equal to Y This operation. Doesn’t have a special name: it’s just meant as an example, And here’s the matrix representation of this operation, You can see that it can be expressed as an average of two matrices, one that represents the deterministic operation, where Y is set To whatever value is stored in X and the other that sets X to be equal to Y, So here we see that we can take averages of stochastic matrices to obtain new ones. Just like we had in the previous lesson Now let’s consider the following question: Suppose that we have two probabilistic operations, each on its own system, described as usual by stochastic matrices and to be precise, let’s suppose that M is a probabilistic operation on A system X and N is a probabilistic operation on a system Y. The question is: if we simultaneously perform M on X and N on Y, how do we ascribe the effect that this has on the compound system XY Thinking about about this intuitively for a moment? If we simultaneously perform the two operations on their own respective systems, then we are in fact performing an operation on the compound system, so it should be described by some stochastic matrix. The short answer to this question is that the matrix is obtained by taking a tensor product, not between vectors, like we talked about earlier, but between matrices, in this case the matrices M and N. So let’s take a few moments to discuss. Tensor products of matrices and then we’ll return to this question Here:’s the definition of the tensor product between matrices and it’s very much analogous to the tensor product between vectors. If we suppose that the two matrices that we’re working with are written in the forms that you see here, so that the entries of M are denoted, alpha ab as a and b range over, some classical state set sigma and the entries of N are Denoted by beta cd as c and d range over some classical state set gamma, Then the product of M and N is the matrix that you see right here. What we have is similar to the tensor product between vectors, the rows and columns of M tensor N correspond to pairs of classical states which are written as strings right here, and the entries are products of the corresponding entries of M and N. Here,’s. Another way of writing it in terms of the individual entries of these matrices, The ac bd entry of M tensor N is the product of the ab entry of M and the cd entry of N. There’s another way of describing M tensor N, which is that it’s, the unique matrix that transforms any vector of the form Phi tensor Psi into the tensor product of M, applied to Phi with and applied to Psi. And that has to be true for every choice of these vectors, Phi and Psi. One way to think about this is that the tensor product of matrices gets along perfectly with the tensor product between vectors. This is an equation that you would naturally hope is true, and indeed it is In terms of matrices that are written out explicitly. We can define the tensor product, as you see here. There’s a lot of dots in this equation and they’re meant to illustrate the pattern, which is the same pattern that we had for vectors. Except now we have rows and columns, as opposed to just column, vectors In case it’s, not clear. The following example may help Here we’re talking about the tensor product of two two by two matrices. We first write down four copies of the second matrix one for each entry of the first matrix. We multiply each of these copies of the second matrix by the corresponding entry of the first matrix, and then we collect it all into a single four by four matrix. As you see right here, We can also define the tensor product of three or more matrices in an analogous way, and perhaps the easiest way to express this is, as you see right here, where we have a formula for each entry of the tensor product, which is Simply the product of the corresponding entries, You can also define the tensor product of three or more matrices recursively in terms of the tensor product of just two matrices, just like we had for vectors, And one final note is that the tensor product of matrices is multiplicative, Which means that a product of tensor products is equal to the tensor product of the products You can think about this as a generalization of the formula from a few moments ago for the action of intensive product of matrices on tensor product of vectors And again this Is something that we would certainly hope to be true, and we can be glad that it is, and we’ll make use of this fact whenever we need, And now we can return to the question from before, which asks how we describe the effect of performing An operation M on a system X and an operation N on the system Y together as an operation on the compound system XY, And the answer to that question – is that the action is described by the tensor product of M and N Tensor products represent independence. This time between operations, as opposed to what we saw before for probability vectors Here,’s, a quick example Suppose that we perform the probabilistic operation described by this matrix on a bit X. This happens to be an operation that we saw in lesson one and we simultaneously perform a NOT operation on a bit Y. The combined operation on the pair XY is therefore represented by the tensor product of the matrices corresponding to these two operations. Here,’s the one on X and here’s, the NOT operation on Y – and we get this matrix that you see right here And you can see that. Indeed, this is a stochastic matrix and that will always be the case. The tensor product of any two stochastic matrices or any number of stochastic matrices for that matter will always be stochastic. It is a very common situation that we encounter a situation in which one operation is performed on one system and nothing is done to another system. In this situation, we follow exactly the same prescription, with the understanding that doing nothing is represented by the identity matrix. For example, if we have two bits X and Y – and we reset the bit X to the zero state – which is the same thing as performing the constant zero function on X – and we do nothing to Y, then the resulting operation on the par XY is represented By this tensor product right here, All of this generalizes to any number of systems – and we’ll, see some additional examples. When we turn to the quantum setting which works in exactly the same way, except that we have unitary matrices rather than stochastic matrices, and that’s enough about classical information for now Now we’ll turn our attention to quantum information and how it works. For multiple systems, The pattern is the same as it was for classical information. We can view multiple quantum systems as single compound systems and apply what we know from the previous lesson Again. Tensor products will play a key role and overall we obtain a description for how quantum information works for multiple systems. That’s very much analogous and mathematically similar to what we just saw for classical information. We’ll start with quantum states. Quantum states of multiple systems are represented by column, vectors having complex number entries and Euclid arm equal to one, just like quantum states of single systems. This time, the indices of the quantum state vectors correspond to the Cartesian product of the classical state sets of the individual systems. Because again, that is the classical state set of the compound system, For example, if X and Y or Qubits, then the classical state set for the par XY together is the Cartesian product of the binary alphabet with itself, which we can think about as the set up All binary strings of length two, So these vectors that you see here are all examples of quantum state vectors of XY. If we want to, we can, alternatively, write these vectors like this, where we have a separate cat for each Qubit, where the tensor product between them is implicit, Or we can also write the tensor product symbol explicitly like this. If you prefer – And another option is to subscript the cats with the names of the systems that they represent like this – And you can do this with the tensor product symbol or without That can sometimes be very helpful for keeping things straight. These are just different styles. For expressing the same vectors, and we can pick whichever one we want or whichever we prefer – or whichever makes the most sense for the situation at hand When things get more complicated. For instance, we might decide that one of these styles adds clarity and we’re free to make whichever choice we want. Tensor products of quantum state vectors are also quantum state vectors For the case of two systems. For instance, if Phi is a quantum state vector of a system X and Psi is a quantum state vector of a system Y, then the tensor product of Phi and Psi is a quantum state vector of XY. We call states like this product states and similar to what we saw in the classical probabilistic setting. They represent independence between the systems X and Y. So, for instance, if one person has a laboratory in one part of the world and they create a system X and initialize it to the quorum state, Phi and another person in another part of the world, independently initializes a system Y to the quantum state Psi, then, If we choose to think about XY as forming a single system, even though it’s two parts or in different parts of the world, then the compound system XY, is in the state Phi tensor Psi. This all generalizes to more than two systems in the natural way. If we have quantum states Psi1 through PsiN of separate systems Xn through Xn, then the tensor product of these n vectors represents a quantum state which is again called a product state of the compound system. X1 through Xn Here’s an example of a quantum state of two Qubits, Although it might not look like it immediately. It is an example of a product state because we can write it as a tensor product, as you see right here, So it’s an example of a product state, regardless of how it’s written. What’s relevant is whether or not it’s possible to write it as a tensor product. This quantum state, however, which is again a state of two Qubits, is not a product state. It’s, similar in spirit to the example that we saw in the probabilistic setting of two perfectly correlated random bits, and the same argument reveals that it can’t be written as a tensor product. So let’s move this over here and let’s take a look at the argument in a little bit more detail, Let’s! Imagine that we could write this state as a tensor product of two vectors Phi and Psi. The entry corresponding to the classical state 0 1 is zero for this vector, which we can see just by looking at it. This would imply, however, if the vector was a tensor product of two vectors that the zero entry of Phi times the one entry of Psi would be equal to zero. But that means that either the zero entry of Phi or the one entry of Psi is equal to zero or they both could be equal to zero. But that contradicts the fact that these two products here must both be non zero. They’re equal to one of our squared of two. The argument is, in fact pretty much identical to what we had in the probabilistic setting There’s, nothing uniquely quantum about this at all. In any case, what we find is that the original state is not a product state Notice that it’s, not important that these two numbers here are one over squared of two. All that matters is that both values are non zero. This particular quantum state is a very interesting one. It’s an example of an entangled state of two Qubits. We’ll talk more about entanglement later in the series. Entanglement can be complicated, particularly when we’re talking about quantum states in the general formulation of quantum information. But here in the simplified description of quantum information entanglement is equivalent to a lack of independence So for a quantum state vector if it’s, not a product state, it’s an entangled state and this particular state is commonly viewed as the archetypal example of An entangled quantum state And in fact, we sometimes think about this state as representing one unit of entanglement, particularly when we’re thinking about entanglement as a resource that can be used to do interesting things. The quantum state that we just talked about is one of the four so called bell states which you can see here, along with the names that are commonly used for these states, Phi plus Phi minus Psi plus and Psi minus They’re all entangled, and they Do form a basis for the space of all vectors representing states of two Qubits, So these four vectors together are called the Bell basis. It’s a very commonly encountered collection of quantum states named in honor of John Bell, who was a physicist who made very important contributions to the study of entanglement in the 1960s. Here are a couple of well known examples of quantum states of three Qubits. The first one is called a GHZ state. It’s kind of like the Phi plus state that we just saw, except for three Qubits instead of two And the second example is called a W state and it looks like you see here so it’s uniform over the three binary strings of length. Three that have exactly one bit set to one. Neither of these states is a product state and they both have interesting properties and arise pretty commonly as examples, so they’re good to know about, and we will see them again. Next, we’ll talk about measurements of systems in quantum states, Following the same reasoning that we’ve been following this far in the lesson, which is to think about multiple systems, as if they’re single systems, We immediately arrive at a description for how Measurements of multiple quantum systems work provided that all of the systems are measured. That is if we have some quantum state vector Psi, that represents a quantum state of an n tuple systems X1 through Xn, and we measure the entire compound system, which is equivalent to measuring every one of the individual systems. Then each possible n tuple of classical states will be the outcome of the measurement with probability equal to the absolute value squared of the entry of Psi that corresponds to that n tuple. For example, if we have a pair of systems XY in this quantum state right here, then if we measure both systems, then we’ll get the outcome: zero hearts, meaning zero for the measurement of X and hearts for the measurement of Y, with probability, nine 25ths And we’ll get the outcome. One speeds with probability: 16 25, That’s really quite straightforward. We’re essentially just ignoring the fact that these are two separate systems and we’re viewing them as if they’re one single system. But this raises the following natural question, which we already considered in the classical setting, Suppose that we have two systems X and Y that are collectively in some quantum state and we don’t measure both. But we only measure one system. Let’s say that we measure the system X and we do nothing to Y. Of course, we can also ask what happens if we measure Y and not X, and more generally, what happens if we have three or more systems and we measure some proper subset of them. But once we have an answer to this question, we’ll have answers to those questions as well. We know that in general, a quantum state vector of the pair XY takes the form that you see right here, assuming as usual, that sigma and gamma are the classical state sets of X and Y respectively. The entries of this vector are denoted by alpha ab, ranging over all the possible choices of a and b, and they can be any complex number that cause this vector to be a unit vector. Now. We already know that if both systems are measured, then we get the probabilities for the different possible outcomes by taking the absolute value squared of the corresponding entry, And so, if just X is measured, then the probability to obtain a particular outcome. A is given by this expression we simply some over all of the possible outcomes b that could be obtained if Y was also measured, even though it wasn’t. The idea is the same as in the probabilistic setting The probability to get a particular outcome when X is measured, can’t possibly depend upon whether or not Y was also measured. So this tells us what the probabilities are for the different possible outcomes. In addition, there will be some change in the state of Y as a result of having performed this measurement on X and having obtained a particular outcome. So let’s take a look at how this works Similar to what we did in the probabilistic setting. We can express the quantum state vector Psi, as you see right here, where Phi a is this vector for each choice of a classical state. A of the system X, we’re using the bilinear of the tensor product just like before. Only now we’ve chosen to name these different vectors Phi, a just for convenience. We already observed that the probability that the measurement yields each possible outcome a is, as you see right here, but now we can see that this probability is equal to the Euclid norm, squared of the vector Phi, a and now, as a result of the measurement of X, giving a particular outcome a we have that the quantum state of the compound system XY becomes this state that you see right here, Just like we had for single systems the state collapses in essence, but it doesn’t collapse entirely in general. It only collapses as far as it needs to in order to be consistent with the measurement of X yielding the outcome. A The quantum state of Y becomes Phi, a normalized, meaning that we divide by its Euclid norm so that it becomes a unit vector. This is analogous to what happened in the probabilistic setting where, instead of dividing by the Euclid norm, we divided by the sum of the entries of Phi a in order to get a probability vector. But here because we’re talking about quantum states. We divide by the Euclid norm to get a quantum state vector. Let’s take a look at a couple of examples to see how this works for a specific state. Here,’s, the state that we’ll, consider We’re, assuming that X and Y are Qubits and they’re in this particular state Psi And let’s suppose that X is measured. We begin by writing the state’s Psi. As you see right here, effectively isolating the standard basis, factors of X and tensing them with whatever we need to in order to get the original state Just like in the general description from a moment ago, The probability to obtain the outcome. Zero is the Euclid norm. Squared of this vector right here, The thing that we’re tensing to cat zero in our expression of the vector Psi, And so the probability is three quarters and conditioned on getting the outcome. Zero. The quantum state of the pair XY becomes this where we normalize the vector tensor to cat zero and that’s equivalent to dividing by the square root of the probability that we just calculated. We can then simplify, and this is what we get The probability to get the measurement outcome. One is calculated in a similar way. We take the Euclid arm squared of this vector right here. The thing that’s tensed to cat one in our expression of Psi and the resulting probability is one quarter which it has to be, of course, because our probabilities have to sum to one. In this case, the quantum state of XY becomes this. Where again, we’re normalizing by dividing by the Euclid norm, so that we obtain this quantum state vector as a result, The same method is used in a symmetric way if Y is measured instead of X. Here,’s, the original quantum state vector and this time because Y is measured instead of X, we express the vector Psi as you see right here, where this time we isolate the standard basis, vectors of Y rather than X, tensing with whatever we need to to Get an expression of Psi Going through the calculation which you can check by pausing the video. If you like, We see that the probability to get the outcome. Zero is Phi8 this time and here’s, the quantum state vector that results conditioned upon getting that result And the probability to get the outcome. One is three eights, in which case this is our quantum state vector You can use exactly the same method. In case you have more than two systems and any proper subset of them are measured, And there’s an example in the textbook content for this lesson that you can check out if you’re interested. In short, we can always divide the systems into two separate collections, the ones that are measured and the ones that aren’t And once we’ve done that we fall back on the method method that I’ve just described, and that’s, how Measurements for multiple quantum systems work And now, finally, we move on to unitary operations on multiple systems, Using the same basic idea that multiple systems can be viewed as single compound systems. We conclude what you see written here on the screen. Quantum operations on compound systems are represented by unitary matrices, just like we have for single systems, and specifically the rows and columns of those unitary matrices correspond to the Cartesian product of the classical state sets of whatever collection of systems we’re talking about, For example, If we have a system X, whose classical states are one two and three and Y is a Qubit, then the matrix that you see right here is an example of a unitary matrix that represents an operation on the pair XY, The details of how we order Cartesian Products that we talked about before don’t really matter for the sake of this example, it’s just a six by six matrix that happens to be unitary. There’s nothing special about it, although it is built out of a couple of important matrices. The point is that you could choose any six by six unitary matrix and it would represent a unitary operation on XY If we apply a collection of unitary operations independently. Each on its own system, then the action of them all together on the compound system is given by the tensor product And here on the screen, you can see a more precise statement of that fact. If our unitary operations are described by the unitary matrices U1 through Un one for each of our systems, then the combined action on the compound system is given by the tensor product of U1 up to Un Once again similar to what we had in the probabilistic. Setting an important example is that we apply some unitary operation. U to a system X, and we do nothing to some other system Y. The operation on XY that we get is U tensored, with the identity matrix The identity matrix describes doing nothing to Y. Sometimes it’s helpful to write explicitly that this identity matrix corresponds to the system Y. Just to make the formulas more clear And one option is to give the identity matrix a subscript like this. That indicates the system that it acts upon When it’s clear enough, though we usually don’t bother with a subscript, but when things get more complicated, it can be very helpful, And we can also consider the symmetric case where some unitary operation V is Applied to Y and nothing is done to X, and this time the resulting unitary operation on XY is represented by this tensor product. Here And once again, we can put a subscript on the identity matrix if it helps. Here are a couple of specific examples. If X and Y are Qubits and we perform a Hadamard operation on X and we do nothing to Y, we get the matrix that you see right here. If, on the other hand, we perform the Hadamard operation on Y and we do nothing to X, the ordering of the tensor product is reversed, And so we get the matrix that you see right here. Not every unitary operation on a compound system can be expressed as a tensor product. If we have a tensor product, then we have independence And there are some pretty fundamental examples of operations that certainly don’t act independently on multiple systems, For example, if X and Y have the same classical state set, which could be any classical state set sigma, Then we can think about the swap operation on the pair XY. This operation, doesn 39, t change the ordering of the two systems we still have X in the left and Y on the right, but rather it represents swapping the contents of the two systems. Here you can see that expressed in the form of an equation where we have a tensor product of two quantum states. Another way to write it is as a matrix as we see right here. The way you can think about this description is that it tells you what happens for standard basis vectors And once we know what happens for standard basis vectors. We know what happens for arbitrary quantum states by linearity, which, in fact is also true for this expression. Right here, So this particular operation right here happens to be a deterministic operation, as well as a unitary operation. If X and Y are Qubits, for instance, we get this matrix representation right here Here -‘s, an interesting connection between the swap operation and the four Bell states, which are shown right here for convenience. The swap operation leaves the first three of them alone, but it puts a minus sign in front of the Psi minus state. So there’s something special about that one. You can check these equations directly by looking at these vectors and considering what happens for the standard basis states swapping the two classical states for the first three Bell states, doesn’t do anything we get the same state we started with. In the fourth case, however, the minus sign effectively moves from one term to the other when we perform the swap of the classical states and that’s equivalent to multiplying the vector by minus one So performing the swap operation somehow kicks out a minus sign. From this fourth Bell state, We’ll have more to say about these equations later on, but now let’s move on to another type of operation, which is a controlled operation. We’re going to suppose that X is a Qubit and Y is any system you want, If? U, as a unitary operation on Y, then a controlled? U operation on XY is the operation that’s expressed right here, First using the direct notation and then using what’s called a block matrix. You just imagined filling in this bigger matrix with the smaller ones, where these zeros really represent matrices filled with zeros. So each of these four blocks represents a matrix having a number of rows and columns. That agrees with the number of classical states of Y. The idea of a controlled operation which we already encountered in the classical setting when we discussed a controlled, NOT operation, is that if X is set to zero, then nothing happens to Y, But if X is set to one, then U is applied to Y. So X is called the control. Qubit and Y is called the target system which, in general, doesn’t have to be a Qubit For a specific example, which I just mentioned, we have a controlled, NOT operation. If the first qubit is set to zero, nothing happens And if the first qubit is set to one, then a NOT operation or equivalently. A sigma X operation is applied to the second Qubit. And here is it’s matrix representation? We’re talking about two Qubits here, so we could equally well decide that the second Qubit is the control, and the first is the target To describe that operation. We just swap the ordering in the tensor product and the result is the matrix that you see right here. If, instead of a controlled, NOT operation, we consider a controlled sigma, Z or controlled Z operation. We obtain this matrix representation right here And for this one, it doesn’t actually matter which is the control and which is the target We get the same result either way We can go further and we can consider a controlled swap operation, And here we’Re talking about swapping two Qubits, so we end up with three Qubits when we include the controlled Qubit. Each matrix representation looks like this: It’s pretty special operation and it’s known as a Fredkin operation or more commonly a Fredkin gate. When we think about it as a gate in a circuit, we’ll discuss circuits in the next lesson. The last example is a controlled controlled, NOT operation, which again is an operation on three Qubits And here’s its matrix representation. This operation is much better known as a Toffli operation or a Toffoli gate. We’ll, discuss it further and we’ll see why both it and the Fredkin can operation are very important operations in a later lesson, And that is the end of the second lesson. In this lesson we discussed how quantum information works for multiple systems. I hope you’ll join me for the third lesson soon, which is on quantum circuits protocols and games Bye. Until then,
When it can be treated with bacteria, The high school environment poses different challenges for a student with autism, The situations the hallway sounds, the noise. The chaos seem overwhelming to them.
I try to get through the crowds through everything through all the crowds of people.
I don’t like being in crowded places when it’s time for Going into the classrooms, especially in the first few days.
They are likely to be nervous, confused and preoccupied with one thought: how do I know what to do? What they do is search.
The surroundings and pick out the important information Okay sit in your designated places and take out your textbooks.
We are ready to start The process of teaching.
Students with autism requires providing a supportive environment that allows easy access to important information.
It begins first with understanding the students mentality.
You can consider the classroom as a second country, but with a different culture.
The child is unable to understand that culture and the surrounding environment. Then you must quickly help the child navigate In it and understand its features.
This is your designated chair and here are your school supplies and necessities.
This is what we will do today When you are finished, you can move on to the next activity.
This is how you are explaining the structure of the classroom, The red one.
We will do at the end of the chapter, but you should do some research.
Students with autism seem to have a very sensitive classroom structure.
Most autistic people become very anxious and unable to interact in chaotic environments, but are very organized and calm in organized environments, When The expected tasks are clear and can be displayed visually on the board.
When you walk into my classroom, I have a list of objectives on the board, and homework is clearly marked and available for students to see I’ve talked a little bit about homework as well.
The classroom environment in schools is also High.
School is comfortable and convenient for learning, but it does not seem the same for students with autism For them. The classroom environment presents many visual and auditory distractions, and teachers must pay attention to this, especially when making a seating plan for students.
Some students may suffer if they are not seated near support, means Visually in the front of the classroom and some find sitting near windows too distracting or may be bothered by the lighting in the classroom.
What makes it difficult for me is my high sensitivity.
I suffer from hypersensitivity to light and noise which Most kids my age, prefer.
It Sometimes kids get ways to make themselves more tolerant of fluorescent light such as wearing a baseball cap sunglasses or sitting in a certain spot in the street.
A quiet, carefully, organized classroom provides comfort for students with autism.
This includes creating boundaries, Physical and visual, and there’s this great art center idea, where there’s a glue, gun and a place to use it, and there’s a saw in the saw place.
They love that kind of place For teachers of program subjects.
They can enhance the teaching process by providing a study guide that identifies the key words for the lesson.
Most individuals with autism have difficulty when reading something in understanding the most important part of the sentence and understanding the most important part of the passage We can identify this by highlighting the text or by Study guide that helps them fill in the blanks in several ways That guide them to where those answers are in the passage Students with autism feel great when there are supports that meet their special needs. Basic support strategies include Preparation, Academic modifications, Home rule, Visual supports Reinforcement.
Your teacher gave me the original copy and the note sheet – You can even fill it out in advance and your name will be called.
First Preparing students means presenting the program materials to the student before they are taught in the classroom.
This gives them the opportunity to become familiar with the school materials.
This will increase the likelihood that they will learn the basic concepts and their details.
When the teacher stands at the front of the chemistry class and says First, we will read Chapter 7 from page 19 to page 25.
Then I will tell you what is important in these pages and then we will conduct the experiment.
Okay, this is considered preparation for what About atoms.
Yes, atoms Preparation is one of the most effective methods when included in the student’s daily, routine Teachers work with parents to support this strategy at home.
If you don’t like the food, I don’t spit it out. Well done What do you do? I leave it aside: Okay, that’s good, that’s good! I do the prep a week before I have to do something if he has a test on Friday.
The teacher has to make sure I know about it on Monday, if he has a big assignment.
I prep him for two months because, regardless, if I Doing a little work for one week and then waiting two weeks will make them forget the assignment.
A second strategy for teachers is to make academic modifications that adapt the content or format of assignments to the students.’specific needs.
Academic modifications range from reading test instructions aloud to extending the time on long term assignments.
If they are, They are having trouble doing it at home.
I will provide them with everything they need and I will be patient with them.
You may also have a student who has a lot of difficulty retrieving words, so I might give multiple choice questions I might provide word bank questions.
If there is a 30 page reading assignment.
I don’t expect students with autism to complete it unless their challenge is reading. Another support strategy involves identifying a place where students with autism can go when they need to regain control in times of stress, called a base Home.
The home base strategy helps individuals with autism stay calm in an environment where they may feel overwhelmed.
What I would do is, if I feel like I have a student who is having certain problems, then I would send them to a safe place and say please pass this note on.
What we want to do is give Students with autism have a way to get out of these situations in a calm and safe way.
That does not disrupt the rest of the classroom or exacerbate their behavior, which will be very stigmatizing to their peers.
The fourth and most important strategy is to increase visual supports that come in many forms.
For example, stickers can be Useful for identifying the contents of drawers or where homework should be placed.
The first part is getting your writing device.
Visual support comes in the form of self management tools that help students focus These tools, outline the steps needed to complete tasks, and students can check each step off as they complete it.
The time limit may already be written next to the activity so that the child can look at the time On the activity and can monitor their progress. One math task should take 20 minutes, so you should be finished by 10 20.
Using this visual support, you may have written that you are more than 5 minutes overdue.
Raise your hand to ask the teacher for help, because students, People with autism, tend to be more visual learners and may benefit from having a copy of their daily schedule or hanging.
It in the room to help guide them through the day.
I prefer a printed schedule because that way, I remember things more clearly and that way I stay more organized and there is another visual support like the way it is presented, Graphic organizers, organize materials in a way that makes it easy for students to understand them.
They not only highlight important concepts and facts, but they show the relationship between them Instead of this big piece of paper, this has all kinds of different spaces and there is another kind of visual support.
This is called a social scenario.
Social scenarios tell the student what to say in certain situations and in a very nice way.
Often the teacher brings in references and writes down the texts and the student can write them down on note cards or on a piece of paper or in his or her notebook, For example, for the student For those who have difficulty asking questions, you will have a Written script that says, I forgot my math book today.
Can you tell me or help me figure out what I should do? Sometimes it will be just appropriate feedback other times a student may just need a push to get started. How do I join this group? What is a good thing to start with, So it will be different depending on the individual’s needs to help you with all the expressions.
If the student is having difficulty mastering a recurring event or routine, the teacher can make a short video with a smartphone or video camera.
Sometimes it is the way to understand their behavior and realize the shortcomings that need to be changed or what is The really successful part of their behavior? If you can record that and then tie it into self monitoring and say, okay, how did I do? Did you make eye contact with them? Did you listen to them when they had something to say, Because most people with autism can’t have a conversation with you and about that? We can look at a visual description of the conversation and I say whether or not this part is happening.
What do you need to do the photosynthesis experiment? The sun? Well done.
The final support method reinforcement, rewards students for behaving in productive ways and supports their ongoing personal progress.
Some common reinforcers include verbal praise, extra recess, computer lab time or homework relief, So reinforcement is simply something you do that increases the likelihood of a behavior.
Yes, as far as I’m concerned, A good teacher uses reinforcement all the time They use it automatically, But a child or teen with autism may need reinforcement for things that no one else wants like talking to your friends or not engaging in repetitive speech Together.
These five support strategies can help teachers provide The structure that students with autism need to learn effectively, But even when teachers devote their efforts to creating a regular and stable structure in the classroom, changes and transitions remain an integral part of daily life in school and beyond.
Changes are a frequent and very necessary part of every high school student’s, life and transitions.
By definition. It is difficult for learners with autism because it requires them to stop doing something they are currently engaged in and then move on to whatever they need to do next and then focus on what the next activity is.
I wanted to make sure everyone fully understood what We’re going to do it today, Teachers can ease the anxiety of change by having a clear agenda and making it accessible to students.
However, no amount of planning can prevent sudden last minute changes from disrupting the class schedule or daily routine.
We can cope with anticipated changes.
It’s time To go to your next class, But unexpected changes such as a fire or a parent visiting to check on their children are situations where you wish.
The teacher knew the student well enough to provide the necessary and appropriate means of support at such times The learning environment that teachers create in secondary schools and the specialized support they provide are an integral part of Success for Students with Autism.
There is no doubt that teaching students with autism can be challenging, but it is also incredibly rewarding.
Teachers are in a very difficult position.
They are responsible for the success of every student in their class, whether they have autism or not.
Therefore, They have so much to do and there is no better feeling than watching an autistic child make their first friend succeed in school subjects and graduate from high school. You did a really great job, Keep up the good work when they had an autistic student in their class and got the right support from the school district Or from the school principal from the specialized teacher and from the family.
They will feel an unparalleled reward.
This section focuses on strategies and tools that teachers can use in the classroom to create a supportive learning environment for students with autism.
The next section is practices related to challenging behaviors, which provide guidance for dealing with situations And the difficult behaviors that may arise with students with autism For more information and resources.

There is a certain man known as the useless oldest son of count Perdium. He is uncontrollable, he is a sword master that is stuck in his room. He is a man that is out of his mind this man, s name, is Ghislain Perdium, While shaking in pain a man in an armor contemplates about the fact the he lost to a garbage human like Ghislain. He could not believe that he, who is the best knight in the north, would lose to someone like that. Next to the knight, we see the bodies of several other knights, While the man was shaking in pain, someone walks up to him. The person asked him if the surrounding is cozy and warm. He told the knight that he put a lot of money into making the traps. The man talking was a knight with a nice armor and a pretty huge axe With a cold gaze. In his eyes, the man asked the knight. If he likes the place, the knight became enraged when he heard this, he could not believe that a garbage human, like Ghislain, created a trap for him. He asked Ghislain if he knew about his plan beforehand. Our boy moved closer to the knight and told him that he knew everything he explained to the man that he knew about how many they were who the spies were and who helped him with reinforcements With a cold gaze in his eyes, Ghislain told the man that He knew it all. The knight was simply dancing. In our boy s hand, the poor man could not accept this reality. He told Ghislain that he has always been a hidden ace card. The knight raised his voice and asked Our boy to tell him how a useless bastard like him was able to know what was happening Before he could finish. Talking Ghislain used his leg to hit the man s face. He asked him to shut up. Our boy took off his helmet and told the man that he can continue trying to invade them. He informed the man that he is going to win the war and the next one. After that, Our boy asked the knight, if he knows the reason why he will win with a smile on his face. Ghislain revealed to the man that he has all the plans The scene shifts and we are taken back a year earlier. We are taken to a soldiers camp which is in the Luthania kingdom, near Perdium estate. We see Ghislain wake up in one of the tents. Our boy was shocked to see that he is alive. He quickly placed his hand on his neck to confirm this. Ghislain was certain that he was in a different place a while ago. He remembered what happened earlier. A knight knocked his sword. Out of his hand, our boy spat out some blood when the knight attacked him when our boy fell to his knees. The knight with red hair and a golden armor said that it is now over for Ghislain, Who is the mercenary king and one of the continent. S 7 strongest men With a smile on his face. The knight said that the war is over. This man is also among the continent – s 7 strongest men. He is known as the noble knight Idun Idun pointed his sword at Ghislain and asked him if he has any last words. Our boy told the man that he simply regrets being unable to fulfill his revenge, while breathing heavily Ghislain told him that he hopes he dies. Idun smiled, when he heard this, he called our boy an arrogant bastard. He informed Ghislain that he never expected him to have been the oldest son of the fallen Perdium household. He reminded our boy that he left his family after his sister died. Ghislain was surprised to hear this. He asked Idun to tell him how he knows this. When he comes from a different kingdom, the noble knight asked our boy to not be surprised. He revealed to him that he knows a lot about him because he once worked his ass off to track him down With an evil smile on his face. Idun revealed to Ghislain that they were the ones who worked with the Delphine household to bring down his family. Our boy was shocked to hear that there were other people involved in the fall of his household other than Duke Delphine s. Household Idun moved his sword closer to Ghislain s neck. He told him that he does not need to know more since he is going to die anyway. He asked our boy to accept his fate. Ghislain was annoyed to hear this. He told the man that he will never forgive him. Idun did not care about this. He beheaded Ghislain with a single strike the scene shifts and we are taken back to the present Ghislain moved closer to a barrel containing water. He wanted to see if his head was still on his neck. Our boy could not comprehend what was happening. He wondered if he was hallucinating. He noticed that he was much younger Ghislain looked around. He wondered if he was taken captive and used as a labrat by some Mages. Our boy promised himself that he would make the arrogant, bastards regret, keeping him alive while looking around our boy saw a sword lying next to a barrel. While he was thinking he hears, someone call him young master. The person stepped into his tent and asked him to come out. He told him that he knows he is awake. This man is a soldier that belongs to the Perdium household. His name is Ricardo Before the soldier could take another step. Ghislain appeared behind him and put a sword to his neck. The man was shocked to see this with a serious tone in his voice. Our boy informed the man that he will let him leave if he answers his questions correctly. Ricardo referred to Ghislain as young master and told him that he is crossing the line. Our boy was surprised to see how casually the man spoke. He did not expect the man to have such a weird reaction when he is being threatened. Ghislain asked the soldier to tell him what he is talking about: Ricardo pushed Ghislain back and revealed to him that he tired himself out from his tantrum earlier and fell asleep. Our boy was surprised to hear this, while touching his neck Ricardo asked his master. If he forgot everything, after sleeping, He reminded Ghislain that he was throwing tantrum about how he wanted to command the group to raid the orcs Ghislain could not comprehend what the man was saying. He asked the man to stop spouting nonsense. Ricardo picked up a bag and asked our boy to pack his stuff. He explained to him that people are waiting With a nervous look on his face. Ghislain asked the soldier to tell him where they are going. Ricardo walked, passed our boy and told him that they are going to the Perdium estate. Ghislain was shocked to hear this. He quickly turned around and grabbed the man. He asked him to repeat what he said: Ghislain asked Ricardo if he is talking about the fallen Perdium estate, the scene shifts, and we see our boy outside while standing at the top of a cliff Ghislain looked at his estate from afar. Our boy was certain that this was the Perdium estate. He did not understand why it was looking fine. He remembered that it was reduced to ashes the last time he saw it. Ricardo moved close to his master and asked him if he had a nightmare. He could not believe that Ghislain would call his household a fallen one. He told our boy that the count will kick him out. If he hears this. Our boy still wasn t convinced that everything was real. He believed that he was dreaming pinched his cheek to confirm if he was dreaming, seeing that he could feel pain. Ghislain realized that everything was real Due to the fact that he had a younger face and his estate was in its original form. Our boy was able to deduce that he had returned back to the past. Our boy s, younger self, resented his household. The immaturity born from feeling inferior, led to trouble as time passed. More people in the household avoided him Ghislain was unable to withstand the criticism, so he ran away from home several years after that our boy became a mercenary. He survived countless battles and managed to build up his skills. He eventually made a name for himself after achieving so much Ghislain returned to his county in order to make up for his past mistakes. Unfortunately, for him, his household had already been crushed to dust by the time he returned, While looking at his family flag, Ghislain realized that everything is still here. All the people he holds dear are still here. Our boy laughed like a mad man. He could not believe what had happened to him. He wanted to sing a song in joy. However, it was too early to rejoice. Ghislain remembered that Ricardo said that they came here to raid the orcs. Our boy could never forget what happened in the orc raid in his past life. This is the day that most people in the raid squad will die In his past life Ghislain followed the group to the raid in other to make a name for himself. At that time the reports had said that there were only 3 orcs. Our boy believed that the fight would be easy enough for someone like him who Had no experience in commanding a squad. Unfortunately, for him there were more than 20 orcs. Almost everyone died because our boy had been stubborn and wanted to command a squad. Ghislain pulled himself together. He assured himself that he could take care of the monsters, since they didn t really have a strategy. The only problem our boy had was that he did not know if the soldiers would trust him, because they all see him as some useless bastard. While he was thinking Ghislain hears a loud sound, a guard post made out of wood was thrown in front of him. One of the soldiers screams and tells the others that the orcs are here. The men immediately tried to take a stance. Ghislain was shocked to see that the orcs arrived early. He was certain that this was a little more early than his past life. The orcs easily tore the soldiers apart; they overwhelmed them with their huge weapons and their bodies. A man ordered the soldiers to get into formation. The man in a blue armor asked the soldiers not to panic. He ordered them to get into a defensive formation. This man is the commander of the raid squad. His name is Skovan before the man could get close to an orc. It swung it s sword at him, Skovan managed to block the attack with his sword. The commander realized that his squad, let their guard down. He could not believe that they were ambushed when they were not prepared. He was quite shocked to see that there were more orcs than reported While he was thinking to him. Someone calls out to him. The person asked him to look behind him. An orc was about to crush Skovan with its weapon before the orc could attack the commander. Someone ran to him. The person grabbed the commander s shoulder and pushed him back. The person turns out to be Ghislain. Skovan was shocked to see his young master in front of him before the monster s axe could touch our boy, Ghislain, stabbed it in its hand and used his sword to cut off its fingers immediately. He did this, he cut the monster s, thigh Skovan and the rest of the soldiers were shocked. To see this, the orc screamed out in pain and fell to the ground. Ghislain was annoyed to see the kind of cut he made. He realized that he could not yet use mana. He wished that he had returned to the past earlier Ghislain turn to Skovan and asked him to give him something. The commander did not understand what the young master was talking about with a confident look on his face. Ghislain asked Skovan to give him the commander s. Rights Skovan could not believe that Ghislain actually asked for the right to command. The commander knew that Ghislain was an idiot, but he never expected him to ask for the right to command when their soldiers lives are on the line. Skovan stood up and told our boy that he cannot give it to him. Ghislain was surprised to hear this. The man walked forward and asked our boy if he believes that the battlefield is a game. He explained to our boy that he cannot give up the authority that the lord gave him easily. Our boy was annoyed to hear this. However, he completely understood the man. He knew that he would have also behaved the same way if an idiot walked up to him and asked him for the right to command. While he was thinking an orc rushed to attack him Skovan asked his young master to step back. He told him that he is too inexperienced to lead the squad Immediately. He heard this Ghislain took a stance. He realized that he had no choice. To our surprise, our boy threw his sword, Skovan managed to dodge the sword before it could touch him. He turned around and grabbed Ghislain. He asked him to tell him why he attacked him the moment. He said this. The commander heard something he quickly turned around. He saw Ghislain s sword in the middle of the monster s head, the orc could not even scream out. It simply fell to the ground. Skovan was shocked to see this. He wondered about how his young master was able to hit the orc s weak spot. Our boy called out to Skovan and asked him to tell him the important thing on the battlefield. He told the commander that there is no hope in winning a battle when the troops are filled with fear immediately. He said this. We see the soldiers trembling when some orcs scream With a smile on his face. Ghislain told the man that they need to gain momentum. The moment he said this, our boy ran forward. He took out his sword from the orc s head. He jumped directly into the middle of the monsters Our boy landed on one of the monsters and stabbed it on its head. The soldiers were shocked to see this while standing on top the orc s head, Ghislain screamed at the top of his voice. He asked the other monsters to come at him. He told them that he will kill all of them. The orcs quickly turned their attention to Ghislain. Our boy cut the first 2 orcs in their stomach and he cut off the hand of the third orc. While looking at the heads of the orcs flying around Skovan wondered if he was dreaming, even though he was a mana user, it was hard for him to do anything. And yet his skinny young master is tearing the monsters apart. The commander quickly realized that Our boy was already tired. However, Ghislain was using the smallest of movements to dodge the attack and he used his sword to strike the orcs on their weak spot. Skovan realized that Ghislain was fighting like a manaless sword master Our boy taunted. The monsters by saying that he is still not yet warmed up while running away, Ghislain told the orcs that they are not living up to their reputation as a warrior. Species Ricardo was shocked to see all the orcs charging at his master. Another soldier, next to him, noticed that our boy was running away, despite the fact that he was talking trash Ricardo called out to his commander. Skovan could not comprehend what Ghislain was thinking. He believed that it was a smart move for our boy to run into the orcs to get their attention. However, the commander did not understand why Ghislain would run in that direction. He was certain that the place leads to the edge of a cliff The moment. He thought of this Skovan realized something he understood our boy s intentions. He quickly asked his troops to raise a shield wall. He told them that they will follow our boy When he got to the edge of the cliff Ghislain told himself. That Skovan would have understood his intention if he is a skilled commander, our boy blocked the monsters attacks. While he was waiting for Skovan Ghislain preferred to kill all the orcs on his own. However, his awful stamina could not handle it with a smile on his face. Our boy told himself that he has done enough Immediately. He said this. The orcs heard someone coming at them from behind when they turned around. They saw the commander and the rest of the soldiers forming a shield wall. The men held their spears tightly Ghislain smiled when he saw this. He said that it was perfect the moment he said this. He jumped off the cliff immediately. Our boy jumped Skovan, ordered his troops to push the orcs off the cliff. The soldiers moved close to the orcs and stabbed them with their spears, while screaming at the top of their voice. The soldier successfully pushed the orcs off the cliff. The orcs fell to the ground and covered the area in blood. The soldiers were shocked to see what they had done. They could not believe that they managed to kill all the orcs immediately. They took care of the monsters, Skovan moved to the edge of the cliff. He called out to his young master to the man, s, surprise. Ghislain had pushed his sword into the cliff and held on tightly while breathing heavily our boy smiled at Skovan. The commander was relieved to see Ghislain. He stretched out his hand and asked him to grab it. Unfortunately, our boy s, stamina, was bad. His grip slowly loosen before Ghislain could reach for the commander s hand, he let go of the sword and fell Skovan and the soldiers were shocked to see this. The scene shifts and we see someone calling Ghislain our boy immediately recognized this voice. He called out to the girl, whose name is Elena, our boy remembered how the girl cried when their mother died, How she used to thank him for helping her. He also remembered how his sister told him that she hates him Ghislain was surprised to see memories of Elena. While he was thinking someone grabbed him. The person turns out to be Elena. The little girl told her brother that she wants to go with him. The moment he heard this Ghislain opened his eyes. He saw himself in a room. There was a cloth on his head. Ghislain was happy to see that the soldiers managed to save him. He wondered why he had such a weird dream. The moment our boy raised his head up, he felt pain all over his body. Ghislain realized that he was suffering the consequence of pushing his body to the limit, while our boy was shaking in pain. Someone steps into the room, a maid with white hair, was happy to see our boy awake. Ghislain was shocked to see the woman whose name is Belinda. The maid placed the bucket she was holding on the table and told her master that she was quite worried about him. She reminded Ghislain that she told him to let the soldiers handle everything to Belinda s. Surprise Ghislain rushed to hug her. The woman was shocked to see this. She asked her master if she offended him. Our boy told the woman that he is simply happy to see her Belinda was Ghislain s. Personal tutor, since he was little Belinda, was the only one who continued to stay by his side. Despite his idiotic antics, However, After the Perdium family fell to ruins, Belinda went missing. Our boy was no longer able to see her again. Belinda asked her master to tell her why he is happy when they see each other everyday Ghislain believed that he needed to tell his maid the truth. He asked the woman to listen carefully to him. He revealed to her that a catastrophe will soon strike their family. The maid asked her master to explain what he means With a serious look on his face. Ghislain told the woman that he died and came back to life. The maid laughed and told her master that she knows that the orcs almost killed. Our boy told her that he is not talking about that. Belinda explained to him that he is the one who is in danger and not the family. While the maid was warning our boy, he realized that she doesn t believe him. Belinda asked her master to tell her what he would have done if he was too hurt to go to the festival. Ghislain was surprised to hear this Belinda asked her master if he has forgotten. She reminded him that Elena has been waiting for this day to go to the festival with him. She explained to her master that this is a great opportunity for he and his sister to become close to each other again, While looking at a picture of him and his sister Ghislain remembered that a festival always happens at this time of the year. In his past, life, Ghislain did not have time to enjoy the festival because of his traumatic experience. Our boy asked his maid to tell him when the festival will start Belinda told her master that it will begin next week. A week from now is the day that Ghislain s life changed. While he was thinking someone steps into his room, our boy was shocked to see who came into his room on the day of the festival. Ghislain got a memory that continues to haunt him a week from today his sister will die. The person who stepped into the room turns out to be Elena. Ghislain ran to hug his little sister Belinda was shocked to see this Elena was shocked to see what her brother did. She asked him to tell her what he is doing. Our boy told his sister that he has missed her. Elena pushed her brother back when she heard this. She told him that he is creeping her out. Ghislain was shocked to see how his sister easily pushed him back. He never knew that Elena was so strong, While dusting her clothes, Elena informed her brother that she came to see him because Belinda asked her to be here. She asked him to tell her the kind of game he is playing. She asked her brother if he believes that this will make everything. Okay, Ghislain asked his sister to tell him what she is talking about. Elena reminded her brother that he asked her to piss off because he is annoying. He told her that he feels disgusted from just feeling her breath. Ghislain was shocked to hear that he said this to Elena our boy remembered that he was not the closest person to his sister in his previous life. He was actually a complete piece of shit. Ghislain apologized to his sister for his behavior Belinda was shocked to see that her master actually apologized. First Elena asked her brother. If his head is alright. She remembered hearing that an orc hit him. Our boy was annoyed to hear this. He wondered why the 2 of them kept saying that he got hit. He told them that he was the one who got the monsters the moment he said this Ghislain felt a large amount of pain in his body. Our boy fell to the ground With a cocky smile on her face. Elena told her brother that he came back unconscious after getting the orcs, the maid and Elena laughed when they saw the way Ghislain was trembling. Our boy was surprised to see the 2 of them laughing. He was happy to see that everyone acts exactly how he remembers them. Ghislain wondered why his past self wasted so much time on useless things in the festival that happens next week. Ghislain rejected Elena s offer to go together. He told her that the things that happened in the raid made him upset. This was the last time our boy saw. His sister Elena s, body was found shredded to pieces, along with her bodyguards. Ghislain was annoyed that he did not go with his sister, while he was thinking someone knocks on his door, 2 men in an armor open the door. This men were Elena s, bodyguards, their names are Jamal and Philip Jamal informed his mistress that they were waiting for her Elena asked the men. If something is wrong, she reminded them that she asked them to wait outside Jamal apologized to Elena. He revealed to her that the servants asked her to oversee their work on the festival. Supplies Ghislain was surprised to hear this. He asked the man to tell him why the maids would ask Elena to do such a thing. Belinda told her master that he does not know anything because he always laze around all day. She informed Ghislain that there is a shortage of workers in Perdium that even the young lady has to work. Our boy was surprised to hear this. He could not believe that they were actually short on workers. Of course it was impossible for Our boy to know anything about it because he never cared about such things. In the past, Elena told her brother that she has to leave the moment she turned around Ghislain told her that he wants to help as well. Elena was shocked to hear this. Belinda could not believe that her master volunteered by himself Elena wondered if her brother really got hit on his head In the town. We see some servants arranging and preparing for the festival. The people of the town heard Elena chasing her brother away. The girl informed Ghislain that people will be too scared to work with him around. Our boy asked his sister. If this is how she treats people that wants to help the girl informed him that the best way for him to help is to stay out of their way, while his sister was pushing him away. Ghislain remembered that her body was found near the slums, which is far from the festival grounds. Our boy believes that someone must have called Elena out there or forcefully moved her there in order to prevent this Ghislain realized that he needs to know the ins and outs of the castle. While Elena was struggling to move her brother away, a soldier ran to him. The man referred to Ghislain as his lord. Our boy immediately recognized this voice. He was surprised to see the old soldier. He referred to the man as old man Fergus, while breathing heavily Fergus cleaned his sweat. He was relieved to see that his master was well. The man grabbed our boy and referred to himself as a lowly servant. He told him that he ran to him immediately. He heard the news about the orcs. Our boy told the man that everyone can stop talking about it now, Elena moved close to the man and commended him on his great timing, with a smile on her face. The girl explained to the man that Her brother has been acting weird, since he woke up. She begged Fergus to take Ghislain to his room. The old man easily accepted Elena s, Request Ghislain was annoyed to see how his hooligan image was getting in his way. Our boy realized that he had to give up. He decided to find out more about the castle. The following week, Ghislain told the old man that there is an abandoned training field in the castle. He asked him to take him. There. Fergus was surprised to hear this. He asked his master to tell him why he wants to go there with a serious look on his face. Ghislain informed the old man that he wants to train Fergus was shocked to hear this. The scene shifts – and we see Our boy and the old man arrive at the training ground Ghislain was shocked to see the place. It was in a much better condition than he expected. Even the weapons were good. The place was a perfect location for our boy to train. Ghislain never saw anything like this when he was a mercenary Fergus revealed to our boy that they kept it maintained in case he wished to use the facility. The old man told Ghislain that he always believed that what he was going through was just a phase. Our boy realized that the man also did this. In his past life, Ghislain tapped the man s armor and told him that he wants to live a long life. He revealed to Fergus that dying feels horrible. The old man was surprised to hear this. He asked his young master to tell him why he is speaking as if he has already experienced life and death with a confident smile on his face. Ghislain commended the old man for being sharp. He explained to Fergus that he died and got resurrected. Fergus told our boy that he is not interested in jokes. Ghislain asked the old man to step out. He told him that he wants to start training. Fergus bowed his head and informed his master that he will be outside Our boy, understood that he has always treated everyone around him like they are his enemies. He realized that he was too shortsighted In the past. It was revealed that the person behind Elena s death was a neighboring territory. Thanks to this, Perdium got caught up in a war this led to its downfall. Elena s, death was essentially the starting point of the household s. Downfall Ghislain decided to set things straight in this life. In order to achieve his goal, Our boy knew that he had to get a better Physique. Unfortunately, our boy did not have a lot of time. Ghislain was still certain that he will be able to learn. Mana control he sat in a lotus position and began to meditate. Mana is a supernatural resource that allows humans to break through their limit. Most people say that noticing and taking in mana is the hardest part. However, our boy was able to do this easily, even on the chaotic battlefield, he connects the mana particles floating in the air and bundles it up as if he is spinning a spool for someone like him who had experienced thousands of battles, it was quite easy to Create a mana core, However, this was not enough. Ghislain did not join the 7 strongest men in the land, with just this technique alone, with the method from the half burned book of magic that he picked up and the natural mana core of humans. Our boy is able to create a second and even a third core. He creates a connected mesh of multiple cores in order to create an explosive force. Ghislain screamed out in pain as the mana traveled through his body. Our boy spat out some blood from his nose and even his mouth. He was surprised to see that he was only able to create 3 cores in his past life. He actually managed to get 5 cores. This method allows one to create an explosive force. In a short time, but it also requires an extremely large amount of mana in return, this was the primary reason Ghislain lost to Idun. In his past life, the noble knight brought a whole knight order to fight against him. When he had ran out of mana. Our boy was certain that he would have won if it was a fair fight. Ghislain knew that this technique was an unstable one. However, he did not mind. Our boy knew that he had a youthful body and a lot of time. He assured himself that he will be the one to behead Idun this time with a look of anger on his face. Ghislain promised to destroy the bastards that helped house Delphine to destroy their county, The scene shifts and we are taken to the day of the festival. We see Ghislain gear up and walk into the festival grounds. Elena was shocked to see her brother. She asked him if something is wrong. She reminded him that he never used to come to things like this Ghislain explained to his sister that he needs to come to this things once in a while, since he is also a member of the Perdium household Elena told her brother that he has been acting. Weird recently, she revealed to him that she heard that he has been training for the entire week With a nervous look on his face. Ghislain explained to his sister that there is nothing weird for the heir of a knight family to be training. Elena reminded her brother that he never cared about this things before she reminded him that he said that their father is annoying and he cannot wait to be. Lord. Our boy was shocked to hear what he said With a bright smile on her face Elena informed, her brother that she likes the way things are now. She told him that it feels as if he has returned to his old self Ghislain realized something in the past week due to the fact that his actions have changed his reception and his future are also slowly changing. While thinking Our boy saw Belinda instructing Elena s bodyguards, she asked them to figure out a solution by themselves. If Ghislain causes any trouble, she explained to them that they cannot afford to have any problems, especially when there are a lot of visitors around the 2 men told the woman that she can trust them. Although the general flow of things were the same, it was difficult for Ghislain to gauge the impact of his actions on small events, making good use of the information he has was our boy s. Work Ghislain knew that he needed to respond to each situation effectively. Our boy followed his sister around during the festival he carefully watched his surroundings to see if anyone is acting suspicious. After moving around for a while Elena sat down, she told her brother that she enjoyed the festival a little. She explained to him that it is a little boring to have the same thing every year. She wondered if there was nothing new this year. Ghislain found it odd that nothing had happened to his sister, even though the festival is almost over. He wondered if this happened, because he is with his sister. While he was thinking someone asks Elena. If she wants to check out other areas, The person turns out to be a soldier. The soldier explained to the girl that his friend told him that there are new events elsewhere. He asked the girl if she will come with him. Elena was surprised to hear this. She grabbed the soldier s hand and told him that the events have to be fun Upon seeing this. Our boy realized that the 2 soldiers in front of him are the traitors. Ghislain could not believe that Jamal and Philip were the traitors of their household Elena s. Bodyguards were the most trusted knights in the feud. This is because they have protected Elena, since she was a little girl. It was known that they were murdered while protecting her in the past, With a smile on his face, Jamal welcomed His mistress to the event to the girl s. Surprise. There was no one there. Elena did not understand what was happening. She asked Jamal if there is really going to be an event in such a dirty place With a nervous look on his face Jamal told her that the people must have not yet prepared. He told her that people will soon arrive. Elena believed her bodyguard was joking with her. She asked him if he would perform in such a dirty place. While she was talking our boy looked around. Although the place looked like a simple deserted street Ghislain could tell that the men have carefully blocked the escape route. He realized that they must have made their preparations in advance while he was thinking his sister pulled him. She asked him to leave with her Jamal asked his mistress to stay. In order to see the show, Elena told the man that she is not going to watch a show in a place like this Ghislain asked his sister. If she works out, he told her that she is quite strong before the girl could reply. Philip appeared in front of her with a scary look on his face. The man asked Elena to wait for a little while the girl became nervous when she saw the look on his face. She told her 2 guards that they are acting strange. She asked them if something is wrong: Jamal apologized to her for scaring her with a creepy look on his face. The man informed his mistress that a reasonable request came in Elena was surprised to hear about a request. The moment Jamal said this: 3 men walked into the area, 2 of the men were wearing black clothes. The other man who appears to be their leader was wearing a blue coat with a blue hat This man, s name, is Frank, Frank commended the men on their smooth work. Jamal walked up to the man. He told him that they brought their mistress just like they promised he told Frank that their deal ends here. Frank noticed that Ghislain was also here with Elena. He told Jamal that he never asked him to bring our boy While trembling Elena held her brother with a smile on his face Jamal revealed to the man that he will give him Ghislain for free. He told him that our boy followed them foolishly without knowing that this would be his graveyard. Ghislain asked Jamal if he really believes that he can get away with selling them out with a cocky. Look on his face Jamal asked our boy to worry about himself. He told him that they can simply run away to a faraway place. He explained to our boy that he and his friend have simply gotten sick and tired of the impoverished land which is tormented by barbarians. He told Ghislain that there are plenty of others leaving the county the moment he said this Ghislain moved close to him and attacked him our boy easily cut through his armor in one slash, everyone was shocked to see This Jamal s body tore apart. Our boy told the man that the people that left never tried to sell them out Immediately. He said this. He turned to Philip and asked him if he is wrong, the knight quickly grabbed Elena, he called Jamal an idiot. He could not believe that a knight would lose to an amateur before the idiot could unsheathe his sword. Ghislain threw his sword directly at his forehead. The man could not comprehend what just happened. He fell to the ground and died. Elena quickly ran to her brother. One of the men in black asked his boss if they are really looking at Ghislain. The other man told Frank that our boy has never had any real combat experience or fundamental training. Frank told the men that they are definitely looking at Ghislain, although they were caught off guard Frank, could not believe that our boy killed 2 knights instantly with attacks that used mana, while shaking Elena asked her brother to explain what is happening Immediately. She asked her question Our boy hit her neck and knocked her out. He carefully placed her on the ground and asked her to have a little rest. The moment he did this Frank thanked him for making their work easy. He told Ghislain that he is much different from what he heard. He revealed to him that they were planning to take care of Jamal and Philip. The man smoked a pipe and asked our boy if he has been hiding his true skills. Ghislain took out his sword from Phillip s head and asked frank to tell him why he cares about his skills. Our boy took a careful look at the men. The men in black were nothing for him. However, Frank was different. The amount of mana he exudes is on a whole different level. Ghislain realized that he had to end the fight quickly. He released his mana and took out some strings before fighting our boy asked the men to tell him who made the request. Frank told our boy that there is no need for a dead man to get that information. Ghislain already knew that the men wouldn t answer him easily. He took a stance and told the men that they will soon spill out the truth anyway. One of Frank s subordinates asked him if they should sever Ghislain s head, the man told his subordinate that he wants them to capture our boy alive and break all his bones so that he can t help but go mad With a creepy smile. On his face, Frank said that Ghislain has to be screaming in pain, for the shape to come out beautifully. The moment they heard this. The 2 men rushed to attack our boy. Ghislain took out something from his pocket and threw it at one of the men. The man was surprised to see a firecracker the moment he lost, focus Ghislain, moved close to him and stabbed him in the head. The other man calls this a shallow trick. He quickly attacked our boy. Ghislain moved his sword behind him and used it to block the attack while holding on our boy put his hand around the sword. He used his sword to hit the man s hand before the man could react, Ghislain beheaded him The moment he did. This Frank attacked him, our boy blocked the attack with the other sword. Frank was shocked to see this, he could not believe that Ghislain managed to block his attack in his position. He was certain that it was a perfect sneak attack Ghislain quickly pushed the man s sword down and stood up. He made a clean cut on Frank s: neck the man; s pipe fell to the ground To our boy. S. Surprise Frank attacked him while using mana on his neck, Frank told Ghislain that he is actually surprised. He told our boy that he would have lost his neck if he did not have enough. Mana Ghislain was shocked to see that frank survived an attack to his neck. He quickly realized that the man focused his mana around his neck, to reduce the damage. Frank, took a stance and told our boy that he does not know where he learnt his strange swordsmanship with a creepy smile on his face. The man promised Ghislain that he will die here. Frank pushed our boy back and told him that he cannot defeat him with his feeble mana. He assured Ghislain that he will die here to the man s, surprise, Ghislain smiled when he heard this Frank did not understand. Why our boy was smiling Ghislain pushed the man s sword away and made him lose composure immediately. He did this. He used his leg. To give Frank a kick on the face Frank quickly stepped back after he received the attack With a smug. Look on his face. Frank reminded Our boy that his attacks won t work with his tiny mana the moment he said this Frank, spat out some blood. He fell to the ground and began to cough heavily. The man could not comprehend what was happening. He realized that Ghislain s attack was much powerful than before. He was certain that it is impossible for Ghislain to pierce through his enhancement with his skill level. Our boy slowly walked up to the man. He revealed to him that he never expected anyone to be the true culprit of his sister s: death with a scary look on his face. He unleashed his third core and asked Frank to prepare himself. The man was shocked to see this. He could not believe that Our boy s mana suddenly increased before he could think about it. He saw Ghislain in front of him. He was shocked to see how fast our boy had become. Ghislain attacked the assassin more fiercely. However, Frank was able to block the attacks, but the attacks were quite heavy. Ghislain did not hold back Frank, could not comprehend what was happening. His hands were turning numb just from blocking our boy s attacks, while looking at his almost ruined sword, the man reminded himself that there is usually a limited effect when someone draws a lot of mana. However, this was different for Ghislain, Frank, had never heard of a method that increases mana so explosively it was as if our boy had become a different person. While frank was trying to regain his stance. Ghislain used his sword to crush the man s weapon Immediately. He did this. He landed a heavy strike on the man, s body. He grit his teeth and pushed his sword into Frank s body. The assassin screamed out in pain before he could continue screaming Ghislain placed his hand on his throat and pushed him to the wall. While holding on to his sword, Our boy told the man that they need to continue their conversation from earlier. He asked Frank to tell him who requested for the assassination. The man did not care about responding to Ghislain. He took out a small blade and told himself that he will not go down so easily. He decided to take Elena, along with him before the man could throw his blade. Some strings grabbed his hand. Our boy was the one who took out the strings. He asked The man to make a deal with him with a cold gaze in his eyes, Ghislain asked the man to not make any stupid moves. He told him that he will return his sword into its sheathe. Frank was shocked to see that The threads were created with mana. He did not know when our boy had the time to create such a thing. Ghislain pushed his sword deeper into the man s body. He told him that someone on his level should be able to patch up this injury with a horrifying tone in his voice. Our boy told Frank that his level won t matter when his mana core is destroyed. The assassin was shocked to hear this. When he looked down. He saw our boy s sword glowing. He immediately began to scream. He could feel his mana scattering Frank yelled at Ghislain and asked him if he has lost his mind. He told him that the backflow could cause an explosion and blow the whole area away. He asked Ghislain if he is planning to self destruct with a terrifying look in his eyes. Our boy told the man that only those who are unskilled make such a mistake. He assured him that he can manage himself Frank was shocked to see the look on Ghislain s face. He realized that our boy was not bluffing. He became certain that he is going to die while screaming at the top of his voice. Frank revealed to our boy that he was sent by count Desmond According to the man, the Count needed a reason to start a war against the Perdium and the Degarde families. Our boy was surprised to hear that it was the count in Ghislain’s previous life. This kind of work was left for the families that, allied with the Duke s, family, our boy was annoyed to see that Duke Delphine, orchestrated the whole thing without being involved. Ghislain asked Frank if this is the reason why he wanted to kill his sister. The man told our boy that he is correct immediately. He answered our boy pushed his sword through his body, Frank, spat out some blood and reminded Ghislain that he promised to put his sword away. Our boy smiled when he heard this. He asked the man to tell him why he is scared when he has also killed. Many people Frank began to laugh when he heard this. Our boy was surprised to see this. The man moved close to Ghislain and revealed to him that nothing will change even if he dies. He told our boy that he has already finished the work of the Degarde family. He asked our boy if people will listen to a punk like him, He assured him that Perdium will perish in war the moment he said this Ghislain grabbed his head and pushed it to the wall. With a smile on his face. Our boy told the man that he was reborn after dying. He assured him that things will be different this time around Immediately. He said this. His sword began to shine brighter Frank, raised his head up and screamed out. The man shot out his energy through his mouth. It blew up when it got to the sky. It looked like a firework The moment he did this. He fell to the ground and died while breathing heavily our boy looked around. He saw the corpses on the ground. He stared at his sister s, unconscious body. After confirming that there was no one next to him, Ghislain threw his sword to the ground. He took a deep breath and fell to the ground. He began to cough out blood While cleaning his blood from his mouth. Our boy said that it was very easy for him to explode three cores when he was the mercenary King. He pushed himself up and told himself that he will not fall here. Our boy rushed to a building and kicked the door open. He found 2 bodies inside the building in Ghislain s previous life. There was another body that was found in this place besides Elena, due to what Frank said earlier, our boy realized that the body in front of him belonga son of The Degarde family, The boy was killed. Along with his escort knight, the 2 men were silenced and framed as Elena s killers. Our boy moved their bodies. He was certain that a war would take place if this bodies are revealed, Ghislain took out a firecracker. He decided to erase the evidence After setting the building on fire, our boy carried his sister and slowly walked away. He assured himself that he will never let things go as planned for his enemies as Ghislain walked forward. We see someone watching him from a tree. The person disappeared after staring at our boy for a while The scene shifts, and we see the man reporting to his superiors who sat on a round table. The man revealed to them that the assassination was a failure. The people on the round table were shocked to hear this. They could not believe that Frank and the other 2 knights failed the mission. They asked the man if they let their guard down, because they believed that the work would be easy. With a nervous look on his face, the man told them that they failed because of Ghislain. The men were shocked to hear this. They could not believe that the useless bastard of the north actually did something. One of the men on the table reminded the spy that Ghislain is actually a useless piece of shit. He asked the man to stop using our boy as an excuse. The spy revealed to the man that Ghislain is completely different from the information and rumors they have about him. While remembering how our boy dealt with their men, The spy told his superiors that Ghislain was basically a completely different person. The man revealed to his superiors that they have already taken care of the Degarde family. He assured them that it will not be difficult to start a territorial war. He begged them to give him another chance. The men asked the spy to shut up. They could not believe that he was not able to get enough information on one kid. They asked the spy if he knows that he has pushed their plans back. They could not believe that the man was asking for another chance when he failed. His first mission, The members of the group, ordered for the spy to be eliminated the moment they said this, someone sitting on a throne told them that they are noisy. The man asked the spy to tell him the kind of chance that he wants. The spy assured the man that he can get rid of Ghislain. The man asked him to tell him how he wants to do this. The spy revealed to the mysterious man that he will make a duel happen. Naturally, he told the man that he has someone in mind. The men on the table asked him to tell them who he plans to choose. The man revealed to them that he plans to choose Kane Loges. This person is famous for his strength based swordsmanship, despite his young age. He is the epitome of strength. The spy assured his masters that there is no one in the north who is a match for Kane s. Strength According to the man. Kane is Ghislain s cousin. So it won t be difficult to get them to meet for a duel with a cold gaze. In his eyes, the mysterious man told his subordinate that he will not be granted another chance after this. The spy assured the man that he will not disappoint him. The scene shifts and we are taken to the training hall of the Perdium household Fergus – stepped into the room and told his master that it is already meal time. The moment he said this, he saw something coming towards him. Our boy placed his thread on a sword. Next to the man, He wrapped the thread around the sword and used it to pull it to himself. Ghislain carefully moved his sword. He wanted to see how easy the thread was for him to handle while swinging his sword. Our boy saw the old man, Fergus moved close to his master and apologized for interrupting his training session. He asked his master to tell him how he was able to drag the sword. Ghislain showed the man the thread. He told his knight that the technique is known as Mana thread. It is a way of using mana as a string in our boy s, past life. He used this technique all the time. However, at his current skill level, Ghislain needs to implode his core in order to use it like before, because he is lacking mana. The only way our boy can use mana, while using his threads, is to create a smaller amount of threads. The old man was surprised to see his master s technique. He always believed that he had trained his mana well, but he had never seen something like this. Fergus did not know how his master was able to create this technique with mana. He was certain that Ghislain did not have any skills and he had not trained for a long time. Our boy asked the man if he needs something from him. Fergus told his master that he actually stopped by to tell him something He bowed his head and thanked. Ghislain for protecting his little sister, our boy was surprised to see the old man thanking him. He told him that he did what he should have done. He asked Fergus to eat with him A few days after that the festival was paused. This was expected because a knight tried to traffic the young lady inside the castle. We see Elena complaining to her brother. She told him that no one believes her when she says that he saved her. She asked her brother to say something to the people. Ghislain assured her that it is fine. He told her that no one will believe him either. Belinda was annoyed when she heard what Elena said she was annoyed to hear that Jamal and Philip were trying to take her. She believed that the knights were trying to take Elena for themselves. She told her mistress that she always believed that the 2 men were Perverts. Ghislain was happy to see that his sister actually managed to survive, although he was able to prevent the war from happening. Our boy knew that their enemies won t give up easily Ghislain knew that he cannot stop them on his own forever. He realized that he needed to grow his own military force. While he was thinking a maid stepped into the room. She brought a cart containing their food. Our boy realized that he needed to get into politics. If he wants to get the things he needs. The maid placed the plate on Ghislain s, part of the table when he opened the plate. He saw a piece of potato. Our boy was shocked to see this Ghislain turn to Belinda and asked her to tell him when they will have dessert. The maid was surprised to hear this. She asked her master if he does not know how their situation is the moment she said this. Our boy hears someone screaming outside of the castle. He was startled when he heard the person At the gate of the castle. We see a chubby bearded man asking the Perdium household to compensate him for the damage they have caused with the cancellation of the festival. It wasn t just the chubby man that demanded this. Other men were also asking for compensation. They were holding pitchforks, They asked Ghislain and his sister to come out. They asked them to stop wasting their money. The guards begged the men to calm down Our boy looked outside the window to see what was happening. He did not understand what was going on. Belinda told her master that she knew this would happen. She revealed to Ghislain that their county is full of merchants who make a living from the profits that come from the festival. The profit was good enough for them last year, however, since the festival was canceled after just one day, it is expected for the merchants to be angry. Ghislain was shocked to hear this. He never expected the county to be in such a bad situation. Our boy turned away from the window. He realized that he needed to stop the merchants. He was certain that they will get more aggressive if he doesn t do anything. Ghislain asked Fergus to tell him what the soldiers are doing. He asked him to send the soldiers down to calm the crowd Fergus revealed to our boy that they do not have any soldiers. Ghislain could not believe what he was hearing. The old man explained to our boy that most of their soldiers have been dispatched to the forest of monsters for reconstruction because of the orc raid Ghislain was annoyed to hear this. Perdium is basically eternally at war because of the barbarians in the north. On the other side of the county is the forest of monsters. Monsters can come from this place at any time. Ghislain could not believe that they did not have any money or soldiers. He moved Belinda to the side and told her that they need to talk. He reminded the maid that she is the one who manages his money. He asked her to use his money to calm the merchants down with a surprised, look on her face, Belinda told her master that he does not have any money left. Our boy asked her to tell him the reason. The maid reminded her master that the count cut off his allowance because he used to spend money like water Ghislain could not believe that he was broke. He asked Belinda to lend him some money. The maid told her master that she doesn t have any cash at all the scene shifts and we see Ghislain looking at the town through his window. Our boy could not believe that his family was in such a terrible situation. He wondered about what they actually have. Our boy knew that he could not do anything if he does not have any funds, even if he has knowledge of the future. It does not matter without money. Ghislain realized that he needs to get money first. He wondered if there was something on the estate that could change his situation. While he was thinking Ricardo barges into his room, our boy was surprised to see the soldier breathing heavily. He asked him to tell him why he is in a hurry With a worried. Look on his face Ricardo revealed to his master that there is a problem. He told him that Kane wants to see him. Ghislain was shocked to hear this. The scene shifts again and we see Skovan breathing heavily. The man s face was heavily bruised while he was trying to regain his stance. His opponent gave him a heavy punch on his face. The person punched, the man on his chest plate the attack, went through the armor and damaged the commander on his chest. The moment he took the attack he fell to the ground at the entrance of the bar, we see Ghislain arrive, our boy saw the commander fall to the ground, Skovan called out to his young master. When he saw him, Our boy was annoyed to see this Kane welcomed Ghislain. When our boy raised his head up, he saw a huge boy in front of him with a smile on his face. Kane greeted his cousin Ghislain took a careful look at Kane. He immediately remembered the boy s face: Kane is the heir of the Loges county. This is a county that his family has an alliance with. At this point in time, Kane was Ghislain s only friend and his enemy, while Skovan was shaking on the ground. Kane came down the stairs, Ghislain asked Ricardo to explain the situation to him. According to the soldier, he and the commander came to the tavern because they heard a report about a disturbance When they arrived at the tavern. They found Kane with his escort knight the arrogant boy, recognized them and asked them if the rumors about Ghislain are true. Skovan explained the details of the rumors to the boy Before The man could finish talking. Kane grabbed his mouth with a creepy smile on his face. He asked Skovan to stop lying to the heir of the Loges county. This was how the idiot started to beat the commander Kane asked Ricardo to tell the story. Well, according to the boy, the commander told him that Our boy who has never trained in his life, took down an orc with his bare hands and dealt with the traitorous escort knights on his own Kane told Ghislain that he had to give the commander a little Wake up call to knock some sense into him With a creepy smile on his face. Kane told Ghislain that none of this would have happened if he had not lied in the first place. Our boy immediately understood why the arrogant idiot was behaving this way. He remembered that Kane always treated him like his subordinate. Every time the arrogant boy visited Perdium. He always made a mess even after Kane caused so much trouble. No one could say anything because Ghislain was basically his subordinate. No one in the county could look down on Kane, Unlike Ghislain, who always had an inferiority complex Kane s. Confidence and bold demeanor were praised as qualities befitting of a heir. Thanks to this, Ghislain was criticized more by the people, Our boy smiled when he remembered this Kane was surprised to see him smiling. He never expected this reaction. Normally Ghislain would have charged at him after receiving this much provocation, The scene shifts and we are taken back. Some hours earlier at the Loges county Kane hears the spy, ask him to kill Ghislain. The boy was shocked to hear this. The spy assured him that the esteemed one will support his family. If he succeeds, Kane explained to the man that it is not difficult to deal with our boy. However, it is still an issue to kill the heir of a county. He asked the man to tell him how he is supposed to eliminate our boy. The spy explained to the boy that they can lure Ghislain into a duel and make it appear as if an unfortunate accident happened, It will look like a trivial dispute between heirs. The man revealed to Kane that he will accompany him disguised as an escort, knight and orchestrate the situation. He assured the boy that everything will be fine With a smile on his face. The spy told Kane that this is a very rare opportunity. Even for him, Kane could not believe that he has the chance to kill his own cousin with a smile on his face. The boy told the man that they need to leave immediately. Presently Kane wondered if the mysterious organization wants to get rid of Ghislain, because something about him has changed the boy smiled when he thought of this. He asked our boy to tell him what he is doing. He sat on the stairs and asked Ghislain to tell him why he is simply standing. He asked Our boy to bring the thing that he has prepared for him. Ghislain asked the boy to tell him what he is talking about. Kane told his cousin that he heard that the festival was interrupted. He told our boy that they need to liven up the mood and have an amazing time. He reminded Ghislain that they are always in sync when it comes to things like this. With a scary. Look on his face. He asked our boy if he is wrong. Ghislain was not scared of the boy; in fact, he did not know what he was talking about. After thinking for a minute, our boy understood what his cousin was saying. He asked him if he is talking about something: Ghislain recalled that Kane used to have him prepare alcohol and women every time he came here, our boy granted his request back then, because he did not want his huge cousin to beat him up Because of Kane Ghislain. Had to waste his precious money, our boy remembered that Belinda told him that his father cut him off because he spends money recklessly Ghislain smiled when he thought of this. He realized that it was right in front of him the whole time. He could not believe that his source of money was right in front of him, while he was thinking Kane called out to him Ghislain quickly, snapped back to reality. Kane asked his cousin to bring the things right now he told him that he is waiting for him. Our boy assured the idiot that he will bring it soon with a scary. Look on his face, Ghislain told Kane that he has a debt to repay to him. First, the spy was shocked to see the look in our boy s eyes. Kane asked Ghislain to explain what he is talking about with a smile on his face, Ghislain explained to his cousin that he has been taking care of everything. He asked him to prepare with his own money. He asked Kane to pay him back now. He told the boy that he will settle for a thousand gold. Kane was shocked to hear this. He told our boy that everything does not even cost a hundred gold. He explained to Ghislain that he has been spending his own money to thank him for being his friend. He referred to the money as a friendship fee Ghislain asked his cousin. If he is stupid, he told him that he has always been his doormat With a smile on his face. Our boy asked his cousin to pay him back before he beats the shit out of him. He told him that he needs a lot of money right now. Everyone in the tavern was shocked to see how Ghislain was speaking Kane, let out a sigh and stood up. He asked our boy if he is acting bold because he has been going easy on him. He asked Ghislain if he really believes that he has gotten stronger. Simply because he spread a false rumor that he won against a knight, Kane called our boy, a parasite that is leaching off the land. He explained to him that everyone in the north calls him a scoundrel, because all he does is spout empty nonsense immediately. He said this: he clenched his fist and asked Ghislain to get himself together Immediately. He said this: he attacked our boy Ghislain, easily dodged the attack by moving to the side. Kane was surprised to see this Ricardo and the spy were also surprised. Kane quickly swung his hand at our boy s head Ghislain, dodged the attack and went low. He punched, the idiot in his ribs Kane, was shocked to feel the pain of the attack. Ghislain stretched out his hand and tried to punch the boy in his head. Kane managed to block the attack with his hand. He smiled when he blocked the attack. Our boy was surprised to see this Kane fell on his knees and screamed out in pain. The spy quickly rushed to the boy s side. He asked Kane if he is alright. Ghislain asked the boy to stop. Whining. He told him that he knows he blocked the attack. The spy asked Ghislain to stand back. He asked him to stay away from Kane. Everyone at the tavern was shocked to see this. They could not believe that our boy actually took down Kane Ghislain smiled when he saw this. He immediately understood Kane s intentions, Kane whispered to the spy. If his acting was okay with a smile on his face, the man told him that his acting was perfect. He told him that he has set the stage perfectly to make it appear that the fault lies with Ghislain. He assured Kane that he now has enough justification to duel our boy. The idiot placed his hand into his pocket. He was certain that he had to get the backing of the esteemed one. He decided to leave a lasting impression. Kane took out a blue glove. He could not believe that he was given the opportunity to cut off Perdium, which is a Falling power. He raised the glove up and told Ghislain that he has tarnished the dignity of nobility with lies. He said that our boy attacked him simply for trying to verify the truth before Kane could finish his words. Ghislain threw his glove at him. He challenged his cousin to a duel. Kane was shocked to see this. Our boy told the idiot that he insulted an heir like him in front of his people and assaulted his knight. He told him that he has tarnished the dignity of nobility, with a smile on his face. Ghislain asked his cousin if he plans to deny the Allegations Kane smiled when he heard this. He always believed that Our boy was stupid, but he never expected him to be stupid enough to dig his own grave. He took out his sword and told Ghislain that he will accept the duel. He pointed his sword at our boy and asked him to not regret it, even if he dies our boy smiled when he heard this, he called out to Ricardo the soldier immediately answered him. Ghislain ordered Ricardo to bring all the merchants who are protesting in front of the castle. The soldier was shocked to hear this with a crazy smile on his face. Ghislain asked Ricardo to tell the merchants that he will help them make a lot of money When the festival was canceled. The atmosphere that had heated up to its peak suddenly cooled down some tourist regretted. Their decision to visit the county Ghislain was certain that the tourist were in a state of incomplete combustion. This is because they were not able to spend their money or their time in this situation. If an event were to take place right now, it might soothe them. The scene shifts and we see Ghislain and Kane on a stage. The 2 boys were surrounded by a large amount of people. They seemed excited to witness a duel between our boy and Kane. Most people. There were happy to see that Ghislain was going to get beaten up Thanks to the fight store owners, opened their store and began to sell their items to tourists. The chubby merchant who was protesting asked everyone to place their bets. He asked them to bring their money. All the merchants immediately put down their money, they placed their bets on Kane. They were certain that this was a guaranteed win. Kane placed his huge sword on the ground and asked our boy to tell him why he would turn a sacred duel to a marketplace With a smile on his face. The boy told Ghislain that his sword will not stop. Even if he surrenders Ghislain was not surprised to hear this, he already knew that Kane and his escort knight plan to kill him. Our boy told his cousin that enough people have gathered. He told him that they can begin the match the moment. He said this. The spy asked him to wait with a smile on his face. The man told Ghislain that a proper bet cannot proceed. Everyone was shocked to hear this. The chubby man revealed to the people that no one bet on Ghislain people were not shocked to hear this. They believed that only a stupid person will bet on Ghislain. They all believed that the results were too obvious. Kane laughed when he heard this. He told our boy that even his own people don t trust him. The chubby man asked the spy if they should change the content of the bet. He told him that they should bet on how long Ghislain can last against Kane The moment. He said this: someone dropped a bag of gold on the table. The person turns out to be the Commander. He was being supported by Ricardo. The man told the merchant that he wants to bet on Our boy, Ghislain smiled when he saw this. Another person dropped a huge bag of gold on Skovan s bag. The person turns out to be Elena. The girl told the man that she wants to bet on her big brother Ghislain and everyone. There was shocked to see this. The girl asked the merchant if the money is enough after carefully counting it. The man told her that it is enough. Belinda reminded Elena, that she advised her not to do this. Kane told them that they made him wait for no reason. The referee asked the boys to get ready, Ghislain reminded Kane that he is older than him. He told him that it will look a little strange if he makes the first move. The boy was shocked to hear this Ghislain took out his sword. He asked Kane to come at him. Kane did not understand what our boy was thinking. He went down and told Ghislain that it is a little late for him to act like an older brother, the moment he said this, they were asked to start the fight Immediately. He heard this Kane jumped up and rushed to attack our boy. He used his momentum to hit Ghislain with his heavy sword. Our boy managed to block the attack. He was surprised to feel the weight of the sword With a smile on his face. Kane told him that he has already stoop too low to act like an older brother. He used his sword hilt to push Ghislain back. He grabbed his blade and used its hilt to attack Ghislain s head Our boy managed to dodge the attack by going low. The moment he saw this Kane tried to kick him with his leg. Ghislain was able to dodge the attack, but Kane s leg still destroyed the ground. Everyone was shocked to witness Kane s strength. They could not believe that he did not even give our boy the chance to attack With a cocky look on his face. The idiot smiled at our boy, Ghislain, never expected him to be so proud. Belinda began to panic after she saw Kane s strength. She grabbed Elena and told her that they need to stop the fight the spy smiled when he heard this. He knew that it was already too late, No matter who the opponent is, they are trapped. The moment they decide to cross swords with Kane. The opponent is overwhelmed by his immense strength and they will become consumed by the thought that there is no chance to counterattack. The opponent will end up using all their energy on evading attacks. In the end, the exhausted opponent will leave an opening after dodging for a while, and they will meet their end. Kane has always won this way. The idiot began to attack Ghislain more aggressively our boy managed to dodge the attacks. Kane smiled when he saw this, he told our boy that he is still as slippery as ever. He noticed that Ghislain skills have actually improved since the last time they met. He stopped attacking with his blade and turned it around. He grabbed the blade with his bare hands and swung his sword hilt at our boy. He told our boy that he has always been good at Running, since they were little Ghislain managed to use his sword to block the attack. To his surprise, Kane used the hilt to grab him and toss him up. Everyone was shocked to see this. The man smiled when he saw this. He believed that our boy was finished as he slowly descended back to the ground. Ghislain said that he wanted to go easy on his cousin, unfortunately, for the poor bastard, He crossed the line Our boy gathered mana in his legs and carefully landed immediately. He landed on the ground he charged at Kane. The boy was shocked to see how fast Ghislain was our boy landed. An attack on his stomach Kane was shocked to see this, the spy could not believe that our boy returned to a stable state by condensing mana into his leg. Ghislain informed his cousin that his swordsmanship is ignorant. He could tell that Kane believed that he was the strongest just because his opponent would get scared if he showed a little bit if strength. Our boy took a stance and told Kane that he will open his eyes. Kane was annoyed to hear this. He rushed to attack him. Ghislain used his leg to kick the boy s sword in order to push him back before the sword could reach our boy. He jumped up and moved to the side as he went back down. Ghislain struck. Kane on his shoulder down to his hand, Kane pushed his sword forward. Our boy dodged the attack. By moving to the side, he then used his leg to press Kane s sword down immediately. He did this. He cut Kane close to his neck. Blood began to gush out of the places where Ghislain struck earlier. Everyone was shocked to see this. The crowd began to cheer. No one expected Ghislain to show this level of skill. Some people began to regret the fact that they bet on Kane. Elena asked the maid to see what she is talking about. Skovan smiled when he saw this Kane noticed that He had shallow wounds. He was certain that Ghislain could have gone deeper if he wanted. He wondered if he did it on purpose. The boy did not understand what was going on. He did not understand how Ghislain got this level of swordsmanship Our boy glared at his cousin. He threw his sword away. He believed that the large gap in their skill will not provide enough entertainment for the people. He told his cousin that he will fight him. Barehanded Kane was annoyed to hear this Ghislain explained to the boy that he wants to use this opportunity to educate him. He rolled up his sleeves and told Kane that he will be educating him with his bare knuckles. Kane was shocked to hear his cousin say that he will educate him. Ghislain explained to Kane that he is not a match for him in swordsmanship, so he wants to give him a handicap. He told the boy that it is better for them to have a barehanded fight, which he excels in With a serious look on his face. Ghislain told his cousin that he will now add 2 thousand gold, which is twice the original bet. He told Kane that he bet that he will win. Everyone was shocked to hear this. They could not believe that our boy added 2 thousand gold to the initial bet The spy was more shocked than everyone else. He could not believe that Ghislain actually dared to challenge Kane to a barehanded fight. The man was happy to see that Our boy s insanity. Finally, helped him: he believed that fortune was still on his side Before the fight began. The chubby merchant asked everyone to place their additional bets. He told them that the event is now a barehanded fight between Ghislain and Kane. Some people believed that Our boy was stupid. For challenging Kane to a fight that involved Sheer force, they decided to bet on Kane. Others believed that our boy knew what he was doing. They decided to bet on him. Kane could not believe that his cousin wanted to fight him with his bare hands. He asked Ghislain to do what he wants. He grabbed his weapon and threw away his coat. He raised his weapon up and told his cousin that he will use his sword the moment he said this. He rushed to attack our boy. Belinda was annoyed to see this. She asked her master to pick up his sword and defeat the bastard immediately. She said this Kane swung his sword at his cousin, with the intention of killing him Ghislain smiled when he saw this. He realized that he needed to knock some sense into his cousin. The moment he thought of this, he went down to dodge Kane s. Attack Kane tried to move his sword closer to cut our boy. Ghislain quickly moved to the boy s side, our boy, punched Kane in his lap before Kane could react. Ghislain gave him a heavy punch on his jaw. This attack made the boy lose his balance. He quickly fell to the ground. Kane could not comprehend what was happening. He did not know how a Loser like our boy was able to display such movements. Everyone began to scream when they saw how their young master fought. They slowly understood that Ghislain might actually win with a cold look on his face. Ghislain asked his cousin to get up. He told him that he has not even gotten started. Kane was annoyed to hear this. He raised his sword and rushed to attack our boy. He swung his huge sword at our boy when he got close to him. Ghislain easily dodged his attacks, our boy grabbed his cousin s, arms. He twisted it and locked Kane down Before Kane could do anything. Ghislain used his knee to give him a blow in his rib. The poor boy spat out some blood Kane could not accept what was happening. Ghislain could not even look him straight in the eyes until now, our boy used to bow down on his own. When he saw Kane the boy could not understand what was happening. He believed that it would have been simple for him to kill, Ghislain and secure his family s future after Kane spat out some blood. Our boy did not give him the time to rest. He pounded him without stopping. He beat the shit out of Kane by the time Ghislain stopped Kane s face and entire body had already swollen up the boy trembled in front of our boy. Ghislain grabbed his hair. He told the boy that he pities his father. He explained to his cousin that his father helped Perdium until he was on the verge of demise, simply because he was friends with our boy s father. Unfortunately, his son had a different idea in his mind. Upon hearing this Kane remembered something a few years ago. We see Kane arguing with his father. He could not believe that his father wanted to send more support to the Perdium county. He reminded his father that they are also having a hard time right now. He asked his father to tell him why he continues to invest in a land that is withering away. He told him that it is like pouring water into a cracked bucket. He reminded the count that it has not been a week since he returned, and yet he is already going back to help Perdium Kane asked his father not to leave. He told him that everyone is asking him to stay. He asked his father to tell him why he insists on helping Perdium Count. Loges turned around and told his son that he is doing all of this, because he is friends with count. Perdium Kane finally understood what his father was talking about the moment. The boy remembered this he saw Kane s fist coming close to his face. Kane closed his eyes. Out of fear upon seeing this Ghislain told his cousin that he has done enough When Kane opened his eyes, he saw our boy s hand in front of him. Ghislain asked his cousin to get up. Kane was surprised to see this. He faced his head down and told our boy that he accepts his defeat. Everyone was shocked to see this. The crowd began to chant their Young master s name. They could not believe that he actually won. Some people regret betting on Kane, while others were thankful that they ended up. Betting on Ghislain Elena was happy to see that her big brother won Belinda and the 2 soldiers were shocked to see that their master actually won. The spy got on the stage and called out to Kane he moved close to him and began to yell. He asked Kane to tell him why he would accept his defeat just because he had a little bit of a disadvantage. He told the boy that he trusted him Kane, ignored him and told him that he is done. He told him that they need to leave. The man was annoyed to see that he chose a weak brat. While he was thinking Ghislain called out to him with a smile on his face, Our boy told the man that he has to do something. The man was surprised to hear this. He did not know what our boy was talking about. Ghislain called the attention of his people. He told them that the man is volunteering to pay for all the meats and drinks of everyone. In this place. The spy was shocked to hear this. The people were quite happy to hear what their young master said. They told Ghislain that he is the best the spy told our boy that he did not agree to this. He asked Ghislain to withdraw his statement. Ghislain placed his hand on the spy s shoulder. He explained to him that this is the price he has to pay for losing the duel. He told him that he expected him to have this much money. Our boy explained to the man that this money won t be deducted from the bet. Ghislain pressed the man s shoulder and reminded him to add 2 thousand gold to the bet that they originally set at one thousand gold. With a horrifying look on his face, Our boy told the spy that he already knows what will happen if he tries to run Upon seeing the look on Ghislain s face the spy gave up, he knew that he was going to die if he does something stupid. He fell to his knees and accepted our boy s request. The next day we are taken to Ghislain s room, our boy placed a huge box on his table when he opened his box. Ghislain saw a large amount of gold coins inside this was the money. Our boy made from his bet Our boy, never expected the money to be so much. He was certain that he could hire a small, mercenary Corps. With this money. Ghislain closed his box. Our boy knew that it takes a lot of time to make more money. He was certain that their enemies won t wait for him. Ghislain realized that he had to prepare faster in order to start the business that he has in mind. While he was thinking Our boy noticed that Elena and Belinda were next to him with a nervous look on his face, Ghislain asked them if something is wrong With a bright smile on her face, Elena asked her elder brother to tell her where he plans on spending All his money, our boy asked her. If she wants some money, the girl told her brother that she is simply curious. Belinda told Elena that she already knows where he will spend it. She reminded her that Lady Amelia s birthday is coming soon. She asked her master if he put up a show because he wanted to buy Amelia an expensive gift. She told him that he is so easy to read. Elena could not believe that her brother was working so hard to look good in front of his fianc e Ghislain was shocked to hear this. He could not believe that he had a fianc e. Our boy asked his maid and his sister. If he really has a fianc e Belinda asked her master to not be shy, she told him that he does not need to play dumb, just because he is embarrassed that they knew what he was thinking. Elena reminded her brother that they are talking about Amelia from the Rayfold county. Ghislain’s expression became grim when he heard the name of the county. Our boy remembered his fianc e. He remembered her as a spider. Amelia Rayfold is a noble among nobles. She is known for her kind nature and her actions towards everyone, regardless of their status. She gained the deep support of the people of her territory. However, Amelia would later incite a rebellion and come to be known as the witch of the north. She joined hands with the Delphine Duchy to drive the final nail into Perdium s. Downfall, Ghislain remembered the girl as a traitor, our boy smiled when he thought of this. He asked Belinda to tell him when their father will return. The maid told him that the lord will be back in a week. Our boy realized that a week is enough for him. He stood up and told Belinda that he will be visiting the Rayfold county. Belinda was surprised to hear this. She told her master that it is not yet Amelia s birthday. She asked him to tell her the reason for his visit. Our boy revealed to her that he wants to get money from the county. The scene shifts and we see a beautiful, noble lady place. Her shoes on the ground, the lady had a tattoo of a spider next to her mouth. She had beautiful red eyes. She asked someone to wear her shoes. The person turns out to be a poor little girl in rags. The little girl could not believe that lady Amelia was giving her some shoes Amelia told the little girl that she is the only one who deserves to walk barefooted on the land. She turned to her soldiers and asked them to provide food and shelter to the people around immediately. They heard this. The men began to bring provisions to the area. The people were shocked to see this as Amelia and her soldiers walked away. The people thanked her for what she did The scene shifts and we are taken to Amelia s garden at the Rayfold manor. We see a man cleaning, Amelia s Feet the man commended Amelia on what she did today. This man s name, is Bernaph. He is Amelia s escort knight, while petting her cat Amelia revealed to her knight that her father has always demanded absolute obedience from the people of his territory. According to Amelia, the common folk will always follow those who keep them warm and well fed Bernarph told his mistress that she has now won the hearts of the people. He assured her that her kind nature will be favorable in the future successor competition. The moment she heard this Amelia used her leg to hit Bernarph s face. She asked him to tell her what happened in the duel against the finest sword of the north Bernaph apologized to his mistress. He explained to her that he wanted to avoid needless attention. He told her that people will begin to pay attention to her if he won the duel. He reminded Amelia that it is not yet time for her to show her claws. He kissed his mistress s feet and told her that his blade belongs to her Amelia told her knight that he is naturally her blade since she invested so much into him. She raised his head up and moved closer to him With a scary. Look on her face. She told Bernarph that he is not allowed to be weak Amelia, let go of the man and asked him to tell her how things are with the merchants. Bernaph assured her that she does not need to worry about the Arktium merchants. He revealed to her that all the materials used for the reconstruction of the forest of beasts – outpost, which was recently destroyed by the orc attack in Perdium, are being purchased through their merchant guild. He Explained to Amelia that they are recouping all the support funds Count. Rayfold sends to Perdium every year he told her that they are also recruiting all the soldiers and knights leaving Perdium. He revealed to her that many of the soldiers are well trained from battles against the barbarian tribes which make them excellent quality. Amelia commended her knight on his success. She reminded him to always maintain the appearance of an ordinary merchant guild. She explained to Bernaph that they cannot let their true identity be exposed until they have built up their strength. While they were talking a steward comes to interrupt them, Bernaph stood up and told the man that the mistress is resting. He asked the steward to tell him who gave him permission to step into the garden the steward explained to the knight that he just received news from the gate that Ghislain has come to visit. Amelia was surprised to hear this. She asked the steward to tell her why Ghislain came the man revealed to her that Our boy said that he has something to discuss about their merchant guild Amelia and her knight were shocked to hear this. The scene shifts and we are taken to the visitors room. Amelia stepped into the room and sat down. She saw our boy wearing a rough coat. He was holding a small flower, Ghislain, greeted the girl, Amelia told our boy that his visit is quite unpleasant. She told him that he came without any prior notification. She asked him if he has not yet learned manners or etiquette With a smile on his face. Ghislain told the girl that he wanted to give her a gift in advance, because her birthday is coming soon. Our boy placed the flower he was holding on the table. He explained to her that he got the flower from the merchant guild up ahead. He told her that the fragrance is quite nice. He explained to her that he plans to buy flowers from the guild from now on, Ghislain revealed to her that the guild is known as the Arktium merchant guild Amelia could not comprehend what our boy was thinking. She stood up and told him that she does not know what he is talking about. She turned around and Told Ghislain that she will be leaving now that she has received his gift With a cold gaze. In his eyes, Ghislain asked the girl to sit down. Amelia was shocked to feel the energy our boy was releasing. She could not believe that the guy who used to be barely able to speak when he stood in front of her, was releasing such a powerful energy. Ghislain picked up the tea in front of him. He told Amelia that he does not want to waste her time. He revealed to her that he needs some money. He asked Amelia to give him 10 thousand gold. Amelia was shocked to hear this. She could not believe that Ghislain visited her out of nowhere and is asking her to give him a large amount of money. She asked our boy if this is the will of his father. Ghislain assured her that his father has nothing to do with this. He asked her to simply give it to him. Our boy poured the tea on the floor with a smile on his face, Ghislain told the girl that she never planned to marry him. Amelia was shocked to hear this. Our boy told her that it will be bad for her if word gets out that she is secretly building up her power, especially when the succession fight is quite fierce. The moment our boy said this Amelia s cat jumped on the table and growled at him. Amelia told our boy that his joke is not funny. Ghislain assured the girl that he will keep her secret for a little while he told her that his lips might be loose if he leaves the room empty handed With a smile on her face. Amelia assured our boy that it won t happen immediately. She said this: she called for Bernarph the knight opened the door and stepped into the room. He placed his hand on his chest and greeted Ghislain Ghislain, remembered Bernaph as a knight that has always stayed by Amelia s side. He remembered that Bernaph was a skilled individual who possesses the potential to be compared to the finest sword of the north. Our boy explained to Amelia that a war will break out if he dies there. He asked Her if she can handle this According to Amelia a ruffian barged in and caused Chaos. He was killed by the escort knight because of his actions. She revealed to him that this is what the world will hear about. His demise with a smile on her face, Amelia ordered Bernaph to kill Ghislain. The knight drew his sword when he heard this. Our boy did not expect Amelia to react this way. He realized that he had no choice but to get a little serious. He placed his hand on his sword hilt Before Ghislain could attack. He noticed that Bernaph was smiling. Our boy found this to be weird the moment he saw this. He heard a sound. An assassin jumped out of one of the knight armors that was behind Ghislain. The assassin stabbed Ghislain s chair. Fortunately, our boy managed to jump out of the chair and go low as the assassin struggled to remove his sword. He gave him a heavy kick in his chest. The assassin was sent flying his body broke, the window, Amelia and Bernaph were shocked to see this Ghislain turned to them. He could not believe that Amelia was feigning politeness. While she launched a surprise attack. He picked up his sword and told them that they have a poor hospitality Immediately. He said this Ghislain charged at Bernaph. He swung his sword at the knight, but he managed to block it With a cold gaze in his eyes, Ghislain asked Bernaph. If their county does not know about chivalry, Bernaph apologized to him, he reminded Ghislain that he was the first to be rude to Amelia. He told him that it is inconsiderate of him to arrive, unannounced and to make his mistress unsettled. He grabbed Ghislain s, sword and locked it in his arms. He told him that he does not need to be polite to someone like him immediately. He said this. He attacked our boy Ghislain easily dodged the attack he jumped and used his leg to kick Bernaph back The 2 of them created some space between themselves. Bernaph had heard that our boy was all talk with no skill to back his words, however, the Ghislain in front of him did not seem like a rookie Amelia asked her knight to tell her why he is fighting like this with a look of anger on her Face she ordered Bernaph to bring her Ghislain s head. She told him that he has to do this if he considers himself as her sword Upon hearing this Bernaph took a stance and released his energy. He asked Ghislain to step forward our boy smiled when he heard this. He could not believe that a mere escort knight dared to order him around Bernaph told our boy that he was actually doing him a favor. He put his leg forward and told Ghislain that he will do as he wishes immediately. He said this. He appeared in front of our boy. He swung his sword at him. Ghislain was shocked to see him. He barely managed to dodge his attack, even though he dodged the attack Bernaph managed to leave a cut on his face. Our boy was shocked to see how fast he was Bernaph began to attack Ghislain more fiercely our boy managed to block the attacks. Amelia was shocked to see what was happening. She could not believe that a lousy, punk like Ghislain is actually fighting on equal footing with Bernaph, Even though she saw what was happening. She was certain that her knight was still stronger. Our boy blocked another one of the knight s attack he locked his sword down and moved his sword close to his neck. Before our boy could hurt him. Bernaph moved his sword back and locked Ghislain s sword with his arm. He attacked Ghislain the moment he did. This Our boy smiled when he saw the technique. He could not believe that the knight was using the same technique as earlier. He jumped and tried to take away his sword the same way he did before. Unfortunately, for him, something was different. Ghislain was shocked to see that he couldn t take out his sword. Bernaph s body was being strengthened with his mana. He told our boy that his trick won t work twice the moment. He said this. He slammed our boy to the ground. He quickly rushed to attack him Ghislain pushed his sword away and jumped back to create some space between them. Our boy realized that the man was able to hold on to him because of his mana. The knight told Ghislain that he is actually completely different from the rumors. He said that a person never truly knows a lot until you have fought the opponent yourself. Bernaph could tell that Ghislain s. Swordsmanship was not something he learned systematically. He told our boy that it looks like something he picked up through real combat experiences with an arrogant look on his face. He asked him if he has fought with the barbarians so often that he naturally adopted their style Immediately. He said this. He threw away our boy s sword. He told Ghislain that his method only works on a chaotic battlefield, with a smile on his face. Bernaph told our boy that his deviation ends now, while breathing heavily Ghislain acknowledges the fact that things are difficult. The narrow and precise thrusts of Bernaph s blade that constantly targets the head, messes with Ghislain s, sense of distance and timing and at a close range. The difference in size makes it difficult to overcome him with techniques alone. In the first place, Bernaph was not someone that Ghislain should have tried to take on yet our boy raised his hand. We see a mana thread attached to it. He told the knight that he also doesn t have a lot of time left The moment. He said this, he pulled the thread. Bernaph was surprised to see mana in form of a thread. He did not know what our boy was doing Before he could react. Ghislain used his sword hilt to hit him at the back of his head. The moment the man lost his stance, Our boy moved close to him and used his knee to give him a heavy blow on his face. Bernaph could not understand what was happening. He did not know how Ghislain got his sword close to him. Amelia quickly called out to her knight Ghislain raised his sword and attacked the knight. Surprisingly Bernaph was actually able to block the attack. He used his sword to push our boy back. Our boy managed to maintain his stance Upon seeing how the fight was going. Bernaph asked his mistress to leave the room. He explained to her that he cannot guarantee her safety with a serious look on his face. The knight said that he will have to start doing his best. Our boy told the man that this is what he wants to see with a cold gaze in his eyes, Ghislain said that he has not met such an entertaining opponent in a long time The scene shifts and we see Amelia running away with her cat. The girl was annoyed to see that Ghislain would cause her such a terrible humiliation. Amelia wondered about who leaked the information about the merchant guild to a madman. Like our boy, She believed that it was impossible for Ghislain to know about it in so much detail. If no one told him, the girl realized that the rumors about Ghislain, slaying, orcs and saving his younger sister from assassins were true. Due to our boy s, past Amelia believed that her Fianc e must have been lucky or he exaggerated the information. She could not believe that Ghislain actually did all this things. While running Amelia turned to a corner. She wondered about what the guards which she stationed there were doing. When the girl looked around, she saw her guards lying on the ground. She saw a woman in a hood standing in the middle of them. The woman turned around and smiled at Amelia. She told her that it has been a while, since they met the woman turns out to be Belinda. Amelia was shocked to see the maid. She asked her about what she is doing there immediately. She asked this question. Belinda appeared next to her, with a blade to her neck. She asked her to keep quiet. Amelia was shocked to see a blade at her neck. Belinda noticed that Amelia still had a spider on her lips. The spider turns out to be real. The maid removed the spider away from her lips With a smile on her face. Belinda revealed to her that she eavesdropped on count Perdium and count Rayfold. During the engagement ceremony, the maid heard that Amelia s siblings, picked on her for having creepy spiders around the girl raised the spiders herself and took her revenge. Belinda told the girl that she does not understand why she still wears a spider. She asked her if it is to overcome trauma or if it is a display of self assertion, she threw the spider to the floor and told Amelia that it does not suit her immediately. She said this: she crushed the insect with her leg. She asked Amelia to cooperate with her. The scene shifts and we are taken back into the room. Ghislain noticed that the air was rough. He was surprised to feel the overwhelming amount of mana which Bernaph was releasing Bernaph, remembered that our boy referred to him as an entertaining opponent. He told Ghislain that only a lowly, mercenary would say such a thing. He could not believe that Ghislain was calling himself a noble like his mistress. Our boy was surprised to hear this. He reminded the knight that he is an escort. He asked him not to question his nobility Bernaph rushed to attack Ghislain when he heard this. Our boy managed to block his fast attack with a serious look on his face. He asked our boy to not disgrace the nobility immediately. He said this he began to attack faster. His attacks were on a whole different level from before. Ghislain was surprised to see how fast the attacks were. Our boy still managed to block them, even though he was blocking the attacks. Our boy was still having a hard time. He was surprised to see how the knight was pushing forward so fiercely Ghislain became annoyed. He told Bernaph that he has done enough. He used his sword to push his sword aside. He tried to pierce the knight s Head, Bernaph managed to use his sword to intercept the attack. He bent our boy s sword and pushed him back. The man told Ghislain that he just used his final attack. He thrust his sword at our boy. His sword landed on Ghislain s body. To his surprise, Ghislain used his shoulder to take on his blade. Bernaph realized that our boy braced himself for the injury and used his shoulder to push away his blade Ghislain quickly attacked the knight. With this chance, Bernaph managed to block it. The knight realized that he could never let his guard down until the very end. He pushed our boy s sword and locked it down. He used his leg to kick him away. He told Ghislain that this is the difference between him and a person who wields a sword for entertainment, while breathing heavily Ghislain thinks about how entertaining the fight is, With overwhelming speed range and consecutive attacks. Bernaph controls the flow of the fight. Any attempt to counter him in close quarters through grappling is instantly shut down In a binding clash. Bernaph makes it seem like their swords are locked together. This is done to deceive Ghislain into thinking that the swords cannot be separated with his current mana. It was impossible for our boy to counter his strength. The situation was not looking good for Ghislain. Of course, our boy could not counter Bernaph with the mana. He has right now, while Ghislain was thinking Bernaph charged at him. Our boy felt bad that he had to end the fight here. He raised his sword and took a stance. There was one thing which Bernaph overlooked. This was Ghislain s, unique mana Cultivation technique. Our boy unleashed his third core and charged at the man the moment their swords touched. Ghislain pushed it down with his strength and knocked it out of his hand. Bernaph was shocked to see this. He did not understand how Ghislain got such an explosive mana during combat Before our boy could pierce Bernaph s head. Someone asked him to stop. The person turns out to be Amelia with a look of anger on her face. The girl asked Ghislain to take the 10 thousand gold and to get out of her sight, Our boy felt irritated when he heard this. He told the girl that it would have been better if she had just handed over the money when he asked nicely he removed his sword from Bernaph s head Belinda told her master that what he has done is a bit too much to call it a lovers. Quarrel Ghislain assured her that they simply had a difference in opinion. He walked up to Amelia and told her that he has some unfortunate news for her. He placed his sword on his shoulder and revealed to the girl that the fee has gone up to 20 thousand gold In the next scene. We see Amelia smash a vase on the floor. Bernaph was next to his mistress. He apologized to her for his failure. He explained to her that Ghislain is quite strong and different from the rumors. He said that it is his fault for not correctly assessing Ghislain beforehand. He revealed to her that our boy managed to emit a mana that surpassed that of an advanced level knight with a scary. Look on her face. Amelia said that Ghislain has changed. Bernaph asked her. If she wants to report this change to the Delphine Duchy Amelia slapped him when she heard this, she grabbed his shirt and asked him to watch his mouth. She asked him if he does not know how scary Duke Delphine is She explained to him that they are finished if the duke finds out about the incident, the reason Amelia secretly allied herself with Duke Delphine without her father s, knowledge is because they had a covert Agreement, The duke promised to support the rebellion that Amelia would lead in exchange for her assistance in bringing down Perdium Amelia told Bernaph that her siblings will kill her the moment. The agreement is exposed With a look of anger on her face. Amelia realized that Ghislain might also know about the agreement, since he knew about the secret of the merchant guild, she told Bernaph that they need to do whatever it takes to kill our boy. The man accepted this idea. Amelia asked him about the state of Ghislain s, body Bernaph revealed to her that he managed to leave light injuries on many parts of his body and a heavy one on his shoulder. According to the knight, Ghislain will probably not be in the best condition for a while, because he used an explosive amount of mana Bernaph informed his mistress that they cannot use knights from their land in order to not leave any traces. Amelia assured him that she is aware She reminded him that this is the reason why she trained a certain set of people. Bernaph immediately understood what she was talking about. He asked her if she will use the wildcats According to Amelia, The wildcats consist of War orphans. Those without Kin and those without status, only the most talented natural born specialists are among them. Amelia placed a flag on the map in front of her. She asked Bernaph to send the wildcats there. She asked him to assemble a dozen of them. She told him to only use those who are proficient with mana Bernaph quickly understood why his mistress wanted to send the wildcats there. The ravine is the only narrow path from the Rayfold territory to the Perdium county. It is an ideal place for quietly handling things. This is because the area is remote and the terrain is tight. Bernaph told his mistress that he will get the wildcats prepared with a look of anger on her face, Amelia promised to pay Ghislain back for the humiliation he presented, her The scene shifts and we see Ghislain in a carriage. He was wrapping a clothe around his arm. Our boy sensed something he wondered if it was Amelia s Doing Fergus asked his master if he is alright. Ghislain assured him that he is fine. The cuts, weren t very deep. Our boy felt like he was doing well, considering the fact that he went a little overboard. The 20 thousand gold he received from Amelia was enough to cover the base funds needed to rebuild their territory. It was like receiving a few years. Savings Ghislain actually wanted to kill Amelia, but this would have caused an unavoidable war. He knew that he could not risk the safety of the territory because of his momentary whims. Perdium is already having a difficult time dealing with barbarians, so it would be smart for Our boy to back off. Ghislain knew that the fact that he knows about the Arktium merchants guild will put enough burden on Amelia Our boy put on his jacket and promised to make Good use of Amelia Belinda noticed that her master looked confident. She asked him if things are going exactly as he planned. She reminded him that he told her to subdue the guards once she heard. Fighting noises on the inside Ghislain also asked her to take Amelia hostage once she came out of the room. Our boy told her that he actually asked Fergus to do this things Immediately. He said this: he felt a large amount of pain in his body. Belinda and the old man quickly stood up. Our boy spat out some blood. He realized that the pain he is feeling comes from the recoil of opening up the 3rd core, the pain he felt was still better than what he felt last time. However, it would still be troublesome for Ghislain to go through this every time he uses his power. Our boy realized that he needed to find a way to increase his mana. While he was thinking Belinda grabbed his hand, she took out a huge needle, the needle was covered in mana. She told her master that the flow of his mana is a mess the moment she said this. She used the needle to hit different parts of his hand. Ghislain was shocked to see this. He felt something coming out of his body when he opened his mouth. He let out some air. Our boy was shocked to see that his entangled mana road has opened up a bit. He was certain that this was a method that cannot be used without a deep understanding of mana. Ghislain knew that Belinda was not an ordinary maid, because it was his mother that brought her into the family. However, he did not know her true identity. He did not understand why such a skilled individual was working as a head maid in the countryside. Although he did not know her true identity, Ghislain did not care. He believed that it is good to have many skilled people in their territory. This is because the people he has encountered so far are simply just the beginning. Belinda assured her master that she will help him with anything because she trusts him unconditionally. She asked him to tell her why he took such a huge amount of money from Amelia. Ghislain told her that he needs to spend money and Amelia is the only rich person. He knows. Fergus and Belinda were shocked to hear this. She could not believe that he broke off his engagement. For this reason she told him that he will be in trouble once Count Rayfold finds out about it. Ghislain told her that it is fine. He assured her that Amelia will never tell her father about it. With a smile on his face, he reminded Belinda that she said that she trusts him. The maid was annoyed to hear this. She asked Her master to tell her what he wants to spend the money on, since she took the risk with him. Ghislain revealed to her that he wants to spend the money on the forest of beasts. Belinda was shocked to hear this. Our boy told her that he will pioneer the forest of beasts. Fergus could not believe what he was hearing. He told his master that development has been attempted there ever since his great grandfather Ghislain asked the old man if he remembers the request he made before they entered the castle. Fergus became nervous when he heard this. He revealed to his master that the person he asked him to find was at the location he mentioned. He asked Ghislain. If he is certain about the person, he told him that the man is not right in the head. Our boy told Fergus that everything is fine. As long as the man is alive, he told him that they need to go there right now, Belinda told her master that they need to return home. She reminded him that he cannot wander around in his current condition. Ghislain asked his maid if she believes that Amelia will let them go easily after what they have done. Our boy knew that the crazy girl will try to kill him to silence him. Belinda tapped her shoulder and told her master that she is good at fighting. She reminded him that Fergus is also a knight, Ghislain told her, that she is reliable, but she cannot take the role he wants. He told her that it is a different field with a smile on his face. He revealed to her that he needs a vanguard. He said that they are on their way to meet the vanguard The scene shifts, and we see the group arrive at a wooden house. Next to a forest. Belinda said that the house looks abandoned. Fergus assured her that this is the address Ricardo knocked on the door. A huge old man opened the door. The man had really long hair. He asked them about who they are. Everyone, except Ghislain, was shocked to see the man Belinda moved close to her master and whispered to him. She asked him if this is truly the person he is talking about. She said that the man does not look like he is in the right condition to fight. He looked like he would not survive till the next day. Ghislain assured her that they are in the right place. The man realized that Our boy was a noble. He believed that Ghislain was a bored Young noble. He turned around and asked him to get lost. Our boy referred to him as the Ex captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries. He called out to the man Known as Gillion. The man was shocked to hear his name. He quickly turned around with a smile on his face. Ghislain told the man that he has been wanting to see him. The group was shockede to hear that this man was the former captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries. The Ratatosk mercenaries is a group that only those who have mastered most weapons can join, Although they no longer exist. Their bravery is such that any knight, even in foreign lands, is bound to hear their name at least once the captain of this mercenary group is Gillion. Gillion threw an axe at Ghislain the axe cut his jacket. The group was shocked to see this. They quickly took out their weapons and stood in front of their master. With a scary, look on his face, Gillion asked Ghislain to state his business. Belinda asked her master to stand back. She told him that Gillion is not in the right state of mind. Our boy mentioned something called the eternal punishment to the man. Gillion was shocked to hear this Ghislain revealed to him that he knows the cure to the incurable disease. His daughter is suffering from. He asked the man if he has piqued his interest. High fever, coughing up blood red spots, blooming like flower petals on the skin, the sight of the patient writhing in pain, resembles a prisoner under punishment. This is why the incurable disease is known as the eternal punishment Gillion allowed. The group to step into his house, his daughter, was screaming on the bed. The man grabbed the girl known as Rachel while staring at the girl. Our boy realized that it was not too late. In his past life, our boy tried searching for Gillion to recruit him, but he was not of the world by the time Ghislain found him. He had given up on everything and ended his own life as soon as his daughter, passed away Due to the condition of his house, Ghislain could tell that the man had already sold all his assets to treat his daughter. All that was left were weapons. Rachel told her father that the pain is too much. She begged him to kill her. Our boy realized that he could not waste anymore time. He took off his jacket and told the man that he will start the treatment now Before he could do anything. Belinda placed her hand on his shoulder. She asked him to leave with her. The woman was scared for her master, although she did not know what he was trying to do. She told him that this is not a problem that he can solve with his strength. She explained to him that the disease is so severe that even priests can t cure it and call it a punishment from god. She asked her master to tell her what he plans to do about this disease. Our boy pushed her hand aside and told her that he can fix Rachel. Belinda was not convinced. She called out to him. Ghislain turned around and reminded her that she said that she will trust him. Belinda remembered that she said this. Our boy took out a paper and gave it to her. He asked her to purchase all the medicinal herbs on the list and bring them back. Belinda was surprised to see what was on the list. The maid quickly got the items and returned For wandering mercenaries without a home. Knowledge is directly tied to survival, although the eternal punishment is an incurable disease right now, a cure will later be discovered in the future. The cure became quite the hot topic, especially since the method was relatively simple. Thanks to the easy method, Ghislain was able to remember it. Clearly, The only problem was the exorbitant cost of ingredients. The fairy s blessing is an important item needed for the cure. The first step is to finely chop the fairy s blessing and the herbs pack them tightly into a bottle and pour distilled alcohol over them. The next step is to shake it, to mix it thoroughly and to let it sit for a while Once this is done. Add the remaining ingredients and stir when he was done. Ghislain stretched out his hand and asked the man to give his daughter the purple glowing liquid. He asked him to let her drink it. Gillion did not have any other choice. He quickly fed his daughter, the liquid immediately. She swallowed it. The red spots on her face slowly disappeared. Everyone was shocked to see this. The group could not believe that the spots were fading. Gillion was more shocked than everyone. He could not believe that the medicine was working. Ghislain said that it worked as he expected With a nervous look on his face. Gillion asked him about how he did it. He told him that even holy power couldn t cure her according to Ghislain the priests divine power isn t omnipotent, it enhances the body s vitality and strengthens a person s regenerative abilities to help overcome the illness. It is different from a fundamental cure. Gillion s hands began to tremble. He grabbed Ghislain and asked him if his daughter can truly be cured. Our boy assured the man that his daughter will be cured in a couple of months. Gillion was shocked to hear this. He stepped back and bowed his head to our boy. He asked him about what he wants from him. The man knew that Ghislain must want something from him to come to such a remote place. To find him. He told our boy that all he has left is his useless body with a serious look on his face. Gillion told our boy that he will become his slave or dog if he commands it. Ghislain assured the man that he does not need any of this things. He told him that he simply wants the Captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries. When Gillion raised his head up, he saw something shocking. He noticed that Ghislain had the eyes of a dreamer. The man stood up and picked up an axe. He used it to cut his very long ponytail. The group became scared when they saw how the man looked without the ponytail. He was completely different from earlier. He now looked more alive. Gillion moved close to his weapons. He asked Ghislain. If there is anyone. Besides the people inside the room who have come with him, he asked him if there is anyone who might come looking for him. Our boy told him that he is here with his group. Gillion grabbed a spear and wrapped a rope around it. He asked our boy if he has anyone who holds a grudge against him. Ghislain told him that he does. He explained to him that he will have more people like that in the future. The Man grabbed the rope s end and threw the spear outside his house. He destroyed the wooden wall. The spear was sent into the forest in front of the house. Gillion managed to hit his target immediately. He did this. He used the rope to drag his spear back to himself. When the spear came into the house. We see Gillion s target on it. The man had captured an assassin. His spear hit the assassin directly in the chest. While the assassin was struggling to take out the spear Gillion grabbed his neck. He asked him to tell him who sent him. The assassin turned out to be a wildcat. The wildcat did not know how Gillion found him. The mercenary asked Ghislain to tell him what he wants to do with the wildcat. Our boy told the man that he already knows who sent him. Ghislain placed his hand on his sword. He told Gillion that he did not want to use his sword again. Today, Gillion placed his hand on his hilt to stop him from unsheathing the sword. With a smile on his face, the man asked Ghislain to leave it to him. He used his hand to snap the assassin s neck. After doing this, he bowed to our boy. Belinda was shocked to see how Gillion killed the assassin he showed no hesitation in Killing. She did not understand why her master would want to recruit such a dangerous person. Gillion went on his knees. He promised Ghislain that he will leave his life in his hands. Our boy realized that he has acquired a crucial card for the upcoming reconstruction plan. With a smile on his face, he told Gillion that he looks forward to working with him. The scene shifts and we are taken to a cabin in the woods. We see a wildcat trafficker reporting to the rest of the members. He told them that their teammate has been killed. The wildcats were shocked to hear this. While they were all talking, someone asked them to lower their voices. This person is known as Viego the traffickers apologized to their captain for raising their voices. The captain explained to the man that Bernaph said that Ghislain wouldn t be able to find the reconnaissance unit and it would be impossible for him to kill them. He asked the man if the reconnaissance unit is stupid or if they were given the wrong Intel. The man did not know what to say. He revealed to Viego that Gillion has joined the team. The man was surprised to hear this. He stood up and grabbed his teammate s neck with a scary look on his face. He asked him if he is certain, while trembling, the man told his captain that he is certain. He said that he saw it with his own eyes, Viego smiled when he heard this. He was happy to hear that his former captain was finally starting to make a move. The scene shifts and we see Gillion riding a carriage through the woods. Belinda complained about the carriage suffocating her. She asked her master if Gillion really needed to bring so much weapons. She told him that he is not an arms dealer. She said that a sword or 2 should have been enough. She could not believe that they had to buy another carriage because of Gillion s. Weapons Ghislain told her that they already needed to buy one to take Rachel comfortably to the county. He assured her that it is fine Fergus and Ricardo carried Rachel in their carriage Ghislain told his maid. That Gillion has a use for the weapons he asked her to bear with it. For now, he reminded her that the important thing now is for them to escape the rift. Belinda asked her master if the watcher they caught was sent by Amelia. Our boy told her that he was Belinda realized that this could be a problem for them. She explained to Ghislain that the mask the man was wearing is a symbol used by the wildcats traffickers. She said that the wildcats are a fairly powerful guild in Rayfold. Our boy was surprised to hear this. According to Belinda, the wildcat traffickers main trade is smuggling. They also take on assassination drugs, human trafficking and other things. They are filthy trash who take on all kinds of vile work. Among the members are many skilled former mercenaries. This made them a shadowy guild that has armed combat power. Ghislain asked Belinda to tell him how she got this information when she stays in the castle all day. The maid told him that she heard this things before she started working there. She asked her master to be careful because the wildcats are persistent, Ghislain smiled when he heard this. He assured her that he will be fine. He reminded her that they have Gillion with them Immediately. He said this. We see something come out of the ground after their carriage passed by it. The things ran after the carriage Gillion sensed, their presence. The things jumped out of the ground when they caught up to the carriage The things turned out to be the wildcats. They rushed to attack Gillion. The man was surprised to see an ambush from the ground. He took out his axe and his sword. He used it to block the attacks of the wildcats. He used his axe to cut off one s, hand and quickly used it to stab the other one in his chest Before the man who lost his hand could react. Gillion tore his head apart, their bodies fell to the ground. The moment the men died, their teammates cut some ropes, the ropes released. Some huge trees on the carriage Gillion was surprised to see the trap. Belinda said that the trees would crush them. Gillion quickly, grabbed the ropes and slowed the horses down. They managed to avoid getting crushed. However, their path was blocked. Ghislain said that he already expected the ambush next to their carriage were some wildcat traffickers. Viego called out to the former captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries Gillion was surprised to hear his title. Viego referred to him as a coward who disbanded an entire group of Mercenaries because of his daughter, Gillion stepped down from the carriage. He told the man that he does not know what he is talking about. Viego was annoyed to hear this. He revealed to his former captain that he ended up living a life that he never wanted because of him. He asked him if he has gotten so senile that he can t even remember his former peer Gillion did not know what to say. Viego believe that the man was playing dumb with a smile on his face. He told him that he will make him. Remember him. He ordered his men to kill the group. They quickly rushed to attack them. Ghislain asked Gillion. If he needs help. The man told him that he is fine. He told him that the captain seems to have business with him. He asked Ghislain to rest. For the meantime, He assured him that he will be fine on his own before the wildcats swords could touch him. Gillion covered his huge axe with his mana. He tore all four of them. Apart in one swing, the others were shocked to see this. They rushed to attack the man. Gillion took out his short sword. He tore the first person that got close to him with his axe. He stabbed the second person in the neck with his sword. He blocked the third person s attack and used his axe to tear him in half. Viego was not surprised to see how strong his former captain was. He could tell that he still had his same strength. He ordered his unit to spread into 2 groups. He asked them to Take Gillion from both sides. The wildcats quickly followed their captain s order. Gillion got on a horse. The wildcats were surprised to see this Gillion grabbed a much bigger axe and spun it in the air he charged at the wildcats. He covered his axe with his mana with a single swing. The man tore several wildcats apart. Some of them got pushed back. One of them said that he cannot get near the man another one advised everyone to aim for the horse before the men could even get to the horse Gillion attached a rope to his axe, handle and swung it around him. He split their bodies apart in one swing. Belinda was shocked to see this The moment he took care of his subordinates Viego rushed to attack him Gillion grabbed a shield when he sensed the man s energy. He used the shield to block The captain. S attack Viego, told Gillion that he should not hinder his work since he ruined his life. With a scary, look on his face, the man promised his former captain that he will kill him. He took out 3 blades. He threw the blades at the horse. The blades stabbed the horse. It fell to the ground before he could lose his balance. Gillion jumped off the horse The moment he landed on the ground. He saw a blade in front of him. Gillion quickly took out his smaller axe. He used it to block the attack. He told the man that he is not the captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries immediately. He said this. He used his shield to hit the man in his rib Viego quickly moved back. He asked Gillion to stop spouting nonsense. He asked him to tell him who he is. If he is not the former captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries Gillion covered his axe with his mana. He said that he has discarded his past. He told Viego that he is now Ghislain s. Subordinate Viego was annoyed to hear this. He charged at Gillion. He promised to kill him at all costs, Gillion blocked his attacks. Viego pushed his sword into the shield. He revealed to Gillion that the mercenary company disbanded after he left. He told him that he lost his purpose and ended up living a disgraceful life just to earn a living. Gillion pushed the man s sword away and swung his axe at him. Viego dodged the attack by going low. He quickly attacked Gillion with his leg. The man managed to block the attack with his wooden shield. However, the shield got destroyed, Viego explained to Gillion that he was prepared to sacrifice his entire life to make the Ratatosk mercenaries the best in history. He could not believe that his former captain threw away everything. Only to end up as a mere pawn of a spoiled noble, the man took out some blades. He told Gillion that he cannot forgive him. He covered the blades with his mana and threw them at Gillion. Gillion used his axe to block the blades the moment he blocked the attack. Viego appeared in front of him. He tried to stab him with his sword. Gillion dodged the attack. He quickly attacked him with his axe, while he was in the air Viego managed to land. In time and block the attack with his sword, the man smiled when he did this he and Gillion began to attack each other more fiercely. The man believed that Gillion is still the same captain. He knew years ago, while his former captain was spending his time. Trying to find a cure for his daughter, he was putting himself through countless battles to get stronger. The man believed that Gillion is no longer a match for him. Gillion attacked him with a huge swing. Viego dodged the attack by jumping over him. He used his sword to hold himself and land behind Gillion immediately. He landed. He used his leg to kick the 3 blades which Gillion blocked earlier. He fired the blades at him. Gillion used his armor to block the 3 blades the moment he blocked the blades. Viego rushed to attack him Gillion sensed his presence and swung his axe at him. Viego jumped and dodged the attack. He rushed to attack his former captain. He told him that it is over, unfortunately, for him. Gillion covered his hand with his mana and grabbed his blade. He asked Viego if his reason for Vengeance is hatred. Viego did not reply. He was shocked to see that Gillion put mana around his hand to grab his dagger. He realized that Gillion was not showing his true power until now. Gillion slammed the head of his axe on the man s face the attack sent Viego flying, he was slammed into a tree. Gillion told him that he does not understand him. He believed that Viego had a lot of chances to kill him if he wanted revenge. He asked him about why he did not come to kill him earlier. Viego laughed when he heard this. He told his former captain that he does not know a lot. He revealed to him that he already visited where he used to stay, but he did not find the captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries. He said that he found a feeble old man who was not even worth killing With a look of anger on his face. Viego asked him to tell him where the Gillion he used to look up to disappear to Gillion, threw the man s dagger on the ground. He asked him to pick it up. He told him that he is now a body bound to another s. Will he took out his sword and told the man that he will still show his former comrade the highest level of respect? He said that he will do this as captain of the Ratatosk mercenaries. Viego was happy to hear this. He picked up his dagger and charged at Gillion his captain blocked his attack. Viego said that this is what he wished for. He began to attack Gillion more fiercely His captain managed to keep up with him. Gillion made a huge swing. Viego dodged the attack by going low. He quickly attacked him Gillion blocked the attack with his axe. He pushed Viego s dagger down and used his sword to stab him in his rib Viego grit. His teeth to endure the pain he quickly attacked Gillion. The man managed to dodge the attack. He raised his axe up. He told Viego that he will remember him. He referred to the man as the fifth unit commander of the Ratatosk mercenaries. He called him Viego Valanos Viego smiled when he heard this The moment he smiled Gillion stabbed him after the man died. Gillion picked up his dagger while he was staring at his comrade s. Corpse Ghislain commended him on his work. Belinda said that they will make some money from selling the wildcats loot Gillion apologized to our boy for causing more delays than necessary. Ghislain assured him that it is fine. He never expected Gillion to be so exceptional when our boy first left home to start mercenary work. The stories he heard about Gillion from his seniors helped lay the foundations for him to become the mercenary. King Ghislain became more certain that he made the right choice by moving quickly. He was happy that he gained a reliable comrade. Our boy asked Gillion if he remembers who Viego was the man told him that he does. He raised Viego s sword and said that he was an old comrade this words resonated with Ghislain. He wondered about what his old comrades were doing right now. He was Certain that they are living a life of their own, because this was before they met him. He knew that he would have to scout this people. At some point, Ghislain told the group that they should follow. Belinda s suggestion and gather anything valuable from the wildcats Belinda ordered Gillion to take lead and start collecting for them. The man reminded the maid that he is not her subordinate. 2 days later we see the group enter the Perdium territory. Belinda was relieved to see that they had finally arrived Gillion looked at the city and asked His master. If that is Perdium, our boy told him that it is Ghislain felt happy that he had a home to return to when he first ran away from home. He thought that he would be able to come back any time. Gillion carefully looked at the county. Our boy asked him if he likes their land. Gillion was startled when he heard this with a nervous tone in his voice. He said that the county is great, Ghislain told him that the county is really bad. Gillion was surprised to hear this. Our boy said that all the houses are outdated and renovations are out of the question he revealed to Gillion that the fields are uncultivated. This is because all the farmers have been conscripted into the military. They left the land forcibly fallow Gillion explained to Ghislain that he has heard that Perdium is always at war because of the northern barbarians. He said that the situation is worse than he expected. Ghislain told the man that he will fix all this problems. He told him that he needs his strength to fix the problems. Belinda and Gillion were surprised to hear this. Our boy knew that the battle ahead is going to be a very long one. It is a battle to eliminate everything connected to Duke Delphine and to protect what was taken for granted. Ghislain promised to revive the land, no matter what he has to do When they arrived into the county. Belinda saw something shocking. She asked her master to look in front of them. When Ghislain raised his head, he saw someone he did not expect to see. He quickly recognized this person, s Silhouette. Our boy saw a man in an armor who had a coat on his shoulder. This man is his father At the Perdium castle. We see some men talking to the Count. The Count suggested that they reduce their forces. The men were surprised to hear this. One of them said that it will be difficult to maintain the front lines properly if they cut their forces down. Another man advised the Count to request more support from the Rayfold family. The general administrator revealed to the men that the Rayfolds were the one who reduced the support fund. He said that the Rayfolds are gathering soldiers and stockpiling food right now. The knight in the room was surprised to hear this. Another man said that they need the funds because they need to rebuild the forest of beasts, garrison that got partially destroyed during the last battle against the orcs. According to the man, reducing the knight orders forces is barely enough to give them some breathing space. He said that reducing the forces poses a significant risk. Ghislain watched the men as they argued he found this to be normal. The knight in front of him was the Knight Captain. His name is Randolph. The man with a lot of beards is the treasurer. His name Is Albert The general administrator s. Name is Homern. Our boy wondered about how long it has been since he saw his father as the young lord of Perdium. It has only been a few months, however. It has been several decades for him as the mercenary king Ghislain called out to his father and welcomed him back home. The Count found it odd that his son did this. The Count. S name is Zwaldter Perdium as a child Ghislain never liked his father for being so strict and serious all the time, but now it was different for him. He could now see it. He could see the countless burdens of exhaustion and fatigue weighing on the Count s shoulders. He understood the responsibilities of the lord of the land. Zwaldter took a sip of his tea and revealed to his son that he heard he left the castle for a week. Ghislain told him that he visited the Rayfolds Zwaldter asked him if he did not cause trouble there. Our boy told him that he didn t the treasurer turned to Ghislain. He told him that he heard that he won a duel against Kane and won some money. He actually found this hard to believe with a serious look on his face. Albert asked him. If he went to Rayfold to gamble, Ghislain was annoyed to hear that the man thought that he went to gamble when he actually went to invest. He told him that he actually had some business with Amelia Homern told Ghislain that he needs to think before he acts. He reminded him that he will be the one to take over Perdium with an unbothered look on his face. Our boy told him that he understands he asked him not to worry about it. Homern was annoyed to see that Ghislain was ignoring his advice. This simply made him more worried The Count placed his tea down and asked his subordinates to stop. He told his son that he heard that he made some good trouble while he was away Ghislain wondered about what his father was talking about. Zwaldter asked his son. If it is true that he executed Jamal and Philip for trying to sell Elena away, Ghislain was surprised to see that his father was referring to those worthless knights. The knight captain said that it was impossible for our boy to kill the 2 knights by himself. He said that the 2 knight must have fought against each other and the story got exaggerated. He believed that Ghislain only delivered the final blow. Ghislain understood why Randolph seemed to be angry. Despite the knights being traitors, the fact that they died at Our boy s hand did not sit well with the captain, Ghislain decided to avoid any trouble. He went with the story that Randolph concocted With an arrogant smile on his face. Randolph said that he knew it. The Count told his son that he did a great job. He was shocked to hear this Zwaldter did not care about how his son took care of them. He said that the most important thing is that Elena is alive. This was the first compliment that Ghislain has ever gotten from his father. He told his father that he has a request to make. Zwaldter was surprised to hear this Homern told our boy that he needs to stop now. If it is money that he is going to ask for Randolph agreed with him, he asked Ghislain to remember all the trouble he has caused so far With a look of anger on his face. Randolph reminded him that he sold military provisions to get gambling money. He lit the front gate on fire to grill an army horse and melted all the armors to forge some worthless legendary sword. Ghislain could not talk back to the captain, although he didn t remember this things. He knew that he must have done them at one point. In time He revealed to his father that he simply wants to get permission from him. The Count asked him about what he needs permission for our boy revealed to them that he will like to pioneer the forest of beasts. The men were shocked to hear this Ghislain smiled at them confidently The scene shifts, and we see our boy in his bedroom with a confident look on his face. He revealed to them that his father denied his request according to him Zwaldter freaked out and began to yell at him. Belinda was not surprised to hear this. She told her master that this was expected. She said that the place is filled with monsters. She told Ghislain that there is nothing to gain from taking care of the monsters. Ghislain asked Gillion if he has heard his plan from Belinda. The man said that he has. He said that our boy plans to Pioneer the forest of beasts with the funds he received from Amelia Gillion, explained to his master that the forest is a forest of death which no one can return alive from. Because of this, nothing is known about the place and everyone avoids it. The forest s notoriety is already well known in other regions, with a smile on his face, Ghislain told his guard that he is well informed about the forest. He told him that there is actually nothing to gain from entering the forest he stood up and walked towards his door. He told Gillion that they need to get started. Belinda reminded her master that he did not receive Permission from the Count. She asked him if he is still going to proceed anyway. Ghislain turned around and explained to her that he did not actually need his father s permission. He said that he simply asked out of courtesy. He told her that he needs to do this. Belinda did not understand why her master was adamant about going there. She asked him to tell her what is in the forest that he is so obsessed with. It Ghislain told her that he will tell her later. He knew that things will be bad for him if he was to reveal it now, and the word spreads. If our boy is able to successfully pioneer the forest, he will get massive funds at a place not too far away from the forest s entrance. There is a massive runestone vein buried there When Ore is infused with mana a runestone is created. It is an extremely rare mineral that Mages are absolutely crazy about. It is used in all sorts of magical tools, things like barriers, magic circles, magic, scrolls, alchemy and magic research. It is basically used in anything that uses mana In his previous life. Duke Delphine was the one who discovered it, but now only Ghislain has this important piece of information. Belinda could not see through her masters intentions. She decided to give up. She knew that he must have a plan. Gillion told him that he will follow his orders. Ghislain asked Belinda to head to the nearby guild and hire some mercenaries. He said that 200 mercenaries will be enough. Belinda could not believe that her master was not holding back on spending the money that he risked his life to get. Gillion asked him if he is certain about this. He explained to his master, that mercenaries are a rough and unruly bunch. He said that it will be hard to control them if a lot of them are gathered in one place, they might even turn on their employer and take everything for themselves. Ghislain told him that he is right. He said that the 2 of them are going to. Personally, pick out the useful ones, Gillion asked him to explain what he means. Our boy revealed to him that they are going to the most skilled group among the small scale, mercenary groups in the north, with a nervous look on his face, Gillion asked his master if he is referring to the crazy dogs, He Explained to him that the crazy Dogs are quite skilled, but they will turn on their employer if things go south, the crazy dogs are known as the Cerberus mercenaries Ghislain told his guard that they need to go put a leash on the crazy dogs. The scene shifts and we see Gillion guiding his master’s horse as they walked up a hill. The Cerberus mercenaries were on the outskirts of the Zimbar territory, one of them spotted Ghislain and Gillion. Coming from afar, he told his colleague that they have arrived. The man laughed when he heard this. He referred to Ghislain as a poor soul and said that they do not know what they are walking into. The Man took another look at Ghislain. He realized that he was a noble. He believed that they were going to make a lot of money off our boy, While the man was looking at Ghislain through his spyglass someone grabbed him. The man screamed out in pain. The men in the camp were surprised to hear his voice. Gillion was the one who grabbed his head. He raised him up with one hand The man called Gillion a bastard and asked him about what he is doing. Gillion threw the man with so much force that the upper half of his body got pushed into the sand. The mercenaries were annoyed to see what was done to their comrade. They began to yell at Gillion. They asked him if he has lost his mind. A mercenary stepped out of the crowd. He told Gillion that he can t act reckless, just because he is from a noble family, the mercenary held a chain and a hook with a smile on his face. He told Gillion that he should not expect to return home alive. Unfortunately, this dumbass did not know who he was talking to. The man noticed that someone else was coming into the camp. He saw Ghislain on a horse. Our boy asked him to shut up and bring his captain. The man laughed when he heard this. He began to spin his chain. He said that the noble brat has lost his mind. He told Ghislain that it is time for him to understand what it means to take responsibility the moment he said this. He threw his chain at him Before the spiked. Ball could touch our boy, something hit it and stopped it from moving the person who stopped it turns out to be Gillion. The man stopped it with a dagger. He put the dagger into a part of the chain. The man was shocked to see that Gillion shoved his blade into the chain. The spiked ball fell to the ground, Ghislain smiled when he saw this. He already knew that words won t get through to them. He asked Gillion to do enough so that the men won t die. Gillion, took a stance and grabbed the chain. He told his master that he understands. He pulled the Man in front of him with the chain. The man flew to his side without any resistance. The moment the man got close to him, he swung the spiked ball at him. The ball hit him in his stomach. The man screamed out in pain. The mercenaries were annoyed to see this. They called Gillion a bastard. They said that they won t go easy on him because he works for a noble they charged at the man. Gillion twisted his blade around the chain. He used it to raise the injured man up. He threw him at the mercenaries that charged at him. The man s body pushed them to the side. The other mercenaries were surprised to see this Gillion turned to the side and glared at them. The men were terrified to see the look on his face. Ghislain came down from his horse. He asked the men to tell him how long they plan on making them wait. He asked them to go, get their captain The moment. He said this. Someone said that he was sleeping. He asked them about what caused the commotion. The mercenaries immediately cleared the road and arranged themselves when they saw this man. The red haired man introduced himself as the captain of the Cerberus mercenaries. He said that his name is Kaor. He asked them about why they were looking for him. Ghislain believed that this was a stupid question. There is only one reason why anyone would look for a mercenary group. He said that he came to entrust a request to him. Kaor was surprised to hear this. He asked Ghislain about why a client would beat up his subordinate. He told our boy that a noble should b more knowledgeable when it comes to manners with a smile on his face. Ghislain told the captain that this is his own way of greeting him. He told him that this is the best way to properly tame him. Kaor smiled when he heard this. He wondered about what would happen if Ghislain had greeted them twice. The scene shifts, and we see everyone in Kaor s tent. He had some mercenaries with him. He asked Ghislain to tell him the kind of request he has our boy revealed to him that he would like to hire him to pioneer the forest of beasts. The mercenaries behind Kaor were shocked to hear this. They could not believe that our boy wanted to send them to the forest filled with beasts. They knew that the forest was near the Perdium territory, with a smile on his face, Kaor asked Ghislain to tell him the kind of person he is for him to try disturbing such a dangerous forest. Our boy revealed to him that he is the Young lord of Perdium Kaor was surprised to hear this. He and his men began to laugh. They could not believe that they were looking at the insane young lord from the rumors. They became certain that he had lost his mind. Kaor told our boy that he does not know what the forest of beast is like, because he was raised in a greenhouse. He told him that it is not a place for rookies. Like him, The captain said that he is no longer interested in hearing anything from Ghislain. He signaled his men and told them that the negotiation is over. The men raised their weapons. Gillion raised his axe when he saw this Ghislain asked Kaor. If he is scared, The man was shocked to hear this With a smile on his face. He said that he is disappointed because he heard that his mercenary group is quite skilled. He told Kaor that it is just a hoax Kaor placed his leg on his table. He asked Ghislain to not mess with him. He reminded him that they are mercenaries. He told him that they do not take jobs, that don t pay off. Ghislain said that weaklings usually like to come up with excuses. Kaor was annoyed to hear this. He told our boy that the mood is ruined. He told him that all he is doing is throwing around pathetic provocations. He referred to Ghislain as a clueless brat. He told him that he is not even worth killing. He assured Our boy that he will let him go. He asked him to hand over some money for the trouble he caused and to get lost. Ghislain told him that this won t happen with a serious look on his face. Our boy requested to have a Moriana s, Recognition with the captain of the Cerberus mercenaries Gillion and the other mercenaries were shocked to hear this Kaor asked him if he even knows what this means with a confident smile on his face. Our boy told him that he does Moriana s. Recognition is a traditional betting method passed down among mercenaries when 2 people agree to the bet they fight using only a single dagger, without relying on mana each of the participants have one of their arms tied together. Stepping outside the small circle counts as a loss. This match forces them into a brutal life or death struggle within limited space and movement. In many cases, not only the loser, but even the Victor ends up dead Ghislain explained to Kaor that the loser must cleanly admit defeat and absolutely obey the words of the winner. In other words, the loser becomes the winner s dog. He asked Kaor about how he feels about the bet. Gillion wondered why his master, who is a noble, would know about a filthy, mercenary tradition in the mercenary world. Rejecting this challenge would mean admitting to one s weakness due to this. It is something that can never be refused. Kaor began to laugh like a crazy person with a creepy smile on his face. He told his subordinates that they have a bold little noble, who wants to be recognized in a mercenary s way. He told them that they should help Our boy a bit. The men began to laugh when they heard this The scene shifts, and we see everyone outside Ghislain and The captain tied one of their arms. Together they were both given a dagger Kaor took off his jacket. The mercenaries were cheering for their captain. They asked him to kill the insolent, noble Kaor believed that Ghislain heard about this method from somewhere and decided to fight him with it. He told our boy that he cannot back out of it. Now he pulled Ghislain to his side with a confident smile on his face. He told him that he has done this 5 times. Ghislain went back to his original spot. He pulled the captain close to him with a condescending look in his eyes. He revealed to Kaor that he has done this over a hundred times. The captain was shocked to hear this Ghislain and Kaor were asked to start the 2 of them charged at each other with their daggers. They both managed to dodge the attacks. They swung the daggers at themselves. Again, They barely missed each other. Ghislain attacked Kaor. With more strength. The Mercenary was able to block his attacks. He pulled our boy in front of himself and tried to stab him from behind Ghislain managed to block each of his strikes. Even though he couldn t see the dagger well, he bent his head and made Kaor miss an attack. He quickly attacked him with the opportunity Kaor managed to dodge it. He pulled our boy close to himself. He gave him a heavy kick on his leg. Our boy felt the power of the kick with a smile on his face. The mercenary told Ghislain that he is doing better than he expected. He could not believe that our boy was claiming that he has done a Moriana s Recognition a hundred times. This is something that most people don t get to do once in their life Kaor charged at Ghislain. He advised him to make his bluffs sound, realistic. He did not give Our boy the chance to attack The members of the Cerberus mercenaries were happy to see this. They asked their boss to kill Ghislain for messing with them, Gillion glared at them. When he heard this, the men immediately became silent. Gillion could tell that this was a losing battle. The area of the circle is barely large enough for one person to lie down the rules, forbid, mana and force this forces the opponent to purely rely on physical strength. Another problem is the size difference and the limited movements due to the hands being tied together. Ghislain can barely dodge or block his opponent s attacks. Meanwhile, the opponent has every opportunity to take control and dominate the fight. Gillion gently placed his hand on his axe. He decided to interfere if the situation becomes dire, Kaor grabbed our boy s hand and held him down. He swung his dagger at him, Ghislain jumped to dodge the attack he landed on the other side. The moment he landed. Our boy noticed that he could feel some pain in his leg. The pain was surging from the leg he used to block Kaor s attack earlier. The damage was stacking up due to the lack of mana protection, Kaor smiled when he saw the look on Ghislain s face. He told him that he is looking pale. He asked him if he has already reached his limit. He began to attack our boy more fiercely. The Mercenary believed that our boy looked pathetic, the way he was trying to resist his strength, Although he did not like Ghislain, he believed that our boy still had more guts when compared to the other nobles he has met. He believed that Ghislain was not skilled. He was certain that he could see through him. He assumed that Ghislain s strategy was to deflect and dodge the blade strikes with his weapon while enduring less damaging blows by absorbing them with his body. However, Moriana s Recognition is a fight that prohibits the use of mana. All the attacks will inevitably stack up. Kaor could tell that our boy was already aware of the strain building up in his legs. It was showing, on his face The mercenary smiled he wanted to see Ghislain struggle for his life. This was the only way that it would be fun for him. He spun his dagger and charged at our boy, Ghislain managed to block his attack. Kaor moved closer to him and swung his dagger at his head, Our boy bent his head to dodge the attack. He tried to attack Kaor from below, but he blocked the attack. Kaor dragged his hand to the side and held him down. He used his leg to attack him Ghislain blocked the attack with his already wounded leg. He felt a lot of pain because of the look on his face. Kaor believed that he had won. He raised his dagger and asked our boy to die. His subordinates became excited when they saw this Gillion took out his axe. He wanted to rescue his master Ghislain smiled. He dodged the dagger by going low Kaor was shocked to see that he was able to dodge from that position. Our boy pushed himself to the other side and gave Kaor a cut near his ribs Kaor was shocked to see what just happened. The Cerberus, mercenaries and Gillion were also shocked to see this Kaor charged at Ghislain out of anger, Our boy skillfully went low. He gave Kaor another cut on his chest. While he was Below him, The mercenaries were shocked to see that he wounded their captain again, they were certain that their captain was the one swinging Ghislain around with his strength earlier. They asked him to show our boy. What a mercenary is made of. Gillion was shocked to see his master s. Movements Kaor swung his dagger. At our boy s head Ghislain dodged it. By going low, he pushed himself back up an used his shoulder to hit The captain s face, he clenched his fist, which he used to hold the dagger. He gave The captain multiple blows on his face Before he could get a hold of himself. Ghislain turned his dagger and used it to stab Kaor in his hand. Kaor did not scream he simply charged at Our boy more fiercely Ghislain easily dodged his attacks. The captain did not understand what was going on. He was certain that our boy was just struggling to withstand his strength. A few seconds ago, Gillion finally understood what was happening swinging with power stiffens the muscles and burdens the body with rigidity, exerting strength in order to pressure and take control made Kaor lose his flexibility. Ghislain didn t fight against the opponent s momentum. Instead, he relaxed and redirected it to create his own flow Gillion, never expected his master to overcome the disadvantage of size in this manner. He put his axe back While Kaor was breathing heavily. His men asked him to stop playing around. They told him that he is not making anyone laugh our boy commended the captain on his resolve. He told him that many opponents would break the rules and use mana when cornered Kaor smiled when he heard this. He believed that Ghislain was talking like someone who had actually done this a hundred times. He told him that he won the position of captain with this very method. He explained to Ghislain that mercenaries, who break the rules don t last in this line of work. Our boy smiled when he heard this, he told the man that he likes his spirit, Kaor admitted that he is at a disadvantage in a head to head match with a smile on his face. He told our boy that the conditions for victory is not limited to simply overpowering him In Moriana s Recognition. If even one foot steps outside the circle, it is an automatic loss. Kaor grabbed Ghislain s hand he raised him up. He wanted to throw him outside the circle. He was certain that he will be able to win if he sends Ghislain s entire body outside the circle. Before Ghislain s, leg could touch the ground. He tightened his grip on Kaor s, hand, he pushed his legs to his knees and stopped his body from touching the ground. He basically used Kaor s body to support himself. He pulled the captain with his hand. Kaor did not expect it. He climbed his leg and wrapped his own hand around his neck. The moment he got behind him. He slammed his head to the ground. His head was pushed outside the circle. The mercenaries were shocked to see this Kaor was annoyed to see that he lost Ghislain gently smiled and told him that he won The captain turned around. He asked our boy for his identity. He did not believe that someone, this skilled, was a noble with a cold gaze. In his eyes, Ghislain told him that he does not like his attitude. He reminded him that he is now talking to his new master. Ghislain pulled him up with his hand. The captain asked him about what he wants. He told him that the fight is over. Our boy told him that it is not yet over. He said that he hasn t gone outside the circle. Yet Kaor was surprised to hear this Ghislain clenched his fist. He said that he is going to discipline his subordinate. He gave the captain a punch on his face. The punch knocked him down. The man quickly asked our boy to wait. He reminded him that the fight is over once a combatant steps. Out of the circle. Ghislain gave him another punch on his face. He asked him if he is going to fight according to the rules on the battlefield, Kaor called him a bastard. He said that a noble is not supposed to behave. This way With a serious look on his face. Ghislain asked him to not talk back to his master Kaor called him a lunatic. Our boy gave him another punch, Ghislain did not stop. He continued hitting the captain on his face. His hand was covered with his blood. The Mercenaries were not happy to see this. They believed that our boy would let their captain go since he won the bet. Kaor begged our boy to stop Ghislain pulled him up with a cold gaze. In his eyes he told him that he is not yet out of the circle. Kaor was horrified to hear this. His face was already quite swollen. He quickly turned to his men. He asked them if they are going to allow this to happen. He asked them to kill Ghislain the mercenaries immediately grabbed their swords before they could move close to their captain. Gillion took out his axe. They quickly stopped moving with a scary tone in his voice. Gillion told them that anyone who hinders his master s disciplinary measure will be killed. Everyone knew that Gillion was not messing. Around Kaor was shocked to see what happened while trembling like a scared dog. He turned to his new master. Ghislain asked him if he is done. The next thing Kaor saw was Our boy s. Fist, the captain laughed out of fear. He knew that he messed up. The punch pushed him back. All the nobles Kaor had met in his life were simply losers. They were overconfident, pigs, traitors, narcissists. A little scare tactic worked wonders for them: Kaor found it entertaining to take money from their pockets. It was thanks to how he treated the nobles that he earned the title of mad dog, but now the mad dog was taking a beating from some noble brat, who he did not think much of The mercenaries became worried when they saw the state. Their captain was in, unfortunately, they couldn t. Do anything. Ghislain took a look at Kaor s body. He wondered if he had done enough. He asked the men to stop standing around. He ordered them to bring him some water, a bandage and a towel. The men were surprised to hear this Ghislain told them that their captain will die soon. If they don t act quickly. The men were shocked to hear this. They accepted his order. Gillion carefully watched his master. He noticed that the unruly mercenaries were listening to his orders. In the world of mercenaries, where fists are closer than the law, Ghislain engraved his position into their heads using the most direct and surefire method, he showed them who the boss is In the next scene. We see Kaor sitting on a chair. His body was wrapped in bandages our boy placed a paper on the table. He asked him to sign on the paper Kaor stared at Ghislain. He knew that he had no choice, but to do it He took out his pen and signed. He asked our boy to take it with a scary. Look on his face. Ghislain asked him to repeat what he just said. The captain became nervous with a shaky tone in his voice. He told Ghislain that he looks forward to working with him. Our boy grabbed his hand. He was quite scared to see this Ghislain told him that they are now family. He told him that he also looks forward to working with him. A few days later, we are taken to the outskirts of the Perdium territory. We see some mercenaries gathered there, one of them yawned. He asked the others if they know the reason why they were called early in the morning. A bald man with a shield told some of them that he heard a rumor that their employer is the young. Lord of Perdium, The men were shocked to hear this. One of them said that our boy is just a brat. He believed that Ghislain will not be able to handle the mercenaries properly. He said that the job might turn out to be easy. A shirtless man clapped his hand and called for the attention of his fellow mercenaries. The huge man said that they need a representative to handle their brat employer. The other mercenaries were surprised to see the man they referred to him as Gordon, the muscle With a smile on his face. The man said that they are correct. He said that he thoroughly observed the admirable posture of all of them, discussing ideas to reap rewards without working hard. He told them that they won t be able to get the result they want if they don t unite their voices. The mercenaries realized that he was right, one of them remembered a time when an idiot made an unreasonable demand and made the whole thing fall apart. The bald man asked Gordon about what he plans to do. The man said that it is important to know one s boundaries in matters like this. He opened a bag which contained some coins. He explained to the men that he will pressure their employer. As the representative. He asked them to put the compensation for his hard work into the bag. The men believed that Gordon was perfect for the situation. They knew that his large build would be good for pressuring a person. They told him that he is quite reliable. They did not expect someone who works out all day to be so good at making money. They poured their money into the bag. The moment they did this one of them said that someone is coming. Everyone quickly raised their head. They saw Ghislain coming from the distance. He was riding his horse towards them. They were shocked to see that he was alone. One of them said that Our boy might run away. After seeing Gordon s, muscles Gordon asked the men to move close with him. He said that it will help them set up a scary mood with a smile on his face. The man said that it is time to teach a brat how scary the real world is Before he could walk up to Ghislain. He noticed something strange. He saw some people moving close to our boy. It was Gillion and the Cerberus mercenaries, One of the mercenaries quickly recognized the dog snout shaped helmet. He said that this men are the Cerberus mercenaries. Gordon was shocked to hear this. He wondered about how Ghislain managed to make the crazy dogs follow him when Ghislain got close to them. The men stepped back. He turned to Gordon and asked him if he is the representative With a nervous look on his face. Gordon said that he is Ghislain asked him for his name. The man introduced himself as Gordon the muscle our boy found the name to be unique. He tapped Gordon on his chest and told him that his name is pretty cool. Our boy introduced himself as the Young. Lord of Perdium, he asked Gordon to gather the mercenaries with a serious look on his face. He announced to them that they will now begin the pioneering of the forest of beasts Guys we have come to the end of our video If you guys want more of this recap.
