A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Chapter 36

Episode 36 – Sometimes too much kindness can be poison

The place we arrived through the teleport gate was a high hill overlooking the crumbling ruins at a glance.

“Here, right… ….”

“It seems to be an unexplored territory that I have only heard about.”

All the members of the team, who were in a pair with me, were busy looking down at the unexplored land.

I was also looking down at the unexplored territory with my team members.

Unexplored territory.

As a dictionary definition, it means a land or an area that has not yet been pioneered and has many risks.

Of course, it meant something different to those who knew the truth.

For those who know the truth, the word unexplored was taken to mean the territory of the old Pandeum Empire.

The Pandeum Empire reigned as a superpower based on prosperous magic engineering and strong national power based on it.

It is said that glory is fleeting, and ruin is eternal.

What I see now is not the glorious Pandeum Empire of the past.

Only traces of the ruined empire were visible.

“First of all, everyone knows that the teleport circle here activates on the fifth day, right?”

“Yes, Captain.”

“Okay. Then we plan to hunt monsters around here.”

FYI, I became the leader of our group.

When I asked the team members why I was the leader, they said that the principle is that the strongest person among the team members is in charge of the leader?

And they said that they were commoners and had no experience leading someone.

So what can I do? As an aristocrat, I must lead them.

“Captain. Then, what are you going to do today?”

“Today, I plan to look around the area and see what is there. In a place like this, no matter where or what happens, it’s not strange. Risk identification is the most important thing.”

I smiled and kindly explained to the group what to do today.

From noble mtl dot com.

When you land in an unfamiliar place, the first thing you need to do is secure a shelter where you can stay safely and be aware of the dangers around you.

My father taught me knowledge about various survival techniques when I was young, saying that a good prosecutor must have a perfect theory.

At the time, he reacted bluntly as to why he was teaching me useless things, but looking back now, my father seemed to have a keen eye.

“Captain. You just said risk factors. What do you mean specifically?”

A girl with orange hair, holding a magic wand with a jewel at the end, asked me a question.

It is very desirable for team members to actively ask questions about the leader’s opinion.

Even if the leader is excellent, it is natural for him to miss something as long as he is human.

So, the best policy was to solve the problem with the team members as head-to-head as possible.

“I mean literally anything dangerous. Miss Astella. For example, there are traps installed on the floor and walls, and it could be a monster waiting in ambush somewhere. Or, it could be an unusual natural phenomenon that only happens here. We look into it, and the goal is for everyone to return safely.”

“I see. Thank you My question has been resolved.”

“Not much to say.”

Anyway, this is how we decided what to do today.

“The first thing we need to do is figure out where we are going to be.”

I said as I took my sword out of its scabbard.

When I suddenly pulled out my sword, the members of the crew looked puzzled.

“So, let everyone draw their weapons. If something dangerous happens, shouldn’t you protect your own body? It’s good to trust your colleagues.”

At my words, our team members each pulled out their weapons.

Magical students took out wands from their arms instead of long wands.

Take out a wand, not a magic wand.

Are you okay?

“You pulled out a wand, not a magic wand? Are you still okay?”

“Ah, yes, that, what, there, what… that… again… wand… Shall I take it out?”

Hmm, I’m really curious, so why are you so self-sacrificing?

“No. If you are comfortable using wands, use them. Because I respect Jo Won’s opinion.”

I’m not a magic major, and when magic majors pull out wands, there must be a reason.

“That, no, sorry! I’ll take out my wand again!”

“No, if you want to use a wand, you can use it?”

“Sorry! I’ll just use my cane!”

Hmm? You say you don’t use a wand and use a wand?

I don’t mind, but are you okay?

If they brought out a wand instead of a cane, it must mean that there was a reason, but I think they are carrying a heavy cane for no reason because of me.

“Are you uncomfortable using a wand because of what I asked?”

“Oh no! It’s just that we like wands!”

“Oh, that’s right! I just took the wand out to check it out!”

Hmm, wouldn’t it be right to listen to the petitions of the people themselves?

“If that’s comfortable for you, then do it.”

“Go, thank you!”

He greets the leader well and is a very polite member.

For such kind people, you should hunt powerful monsters to get a good score, right?

–

My name is Astella Farmat.

I am a cadet who entered the Royal Academy Magic Department this year.

With the exception of the practical department, the martial arts and magic departments go on a practice called monster hunting after a month.

This monster hunting class will have a very important impact on your future life at the Royal Academy.

If you ask why, it’s because the final first semester evaluation is made based on the evaluation given to each other in this class.

If you get a good score on this assessment, you can attend the Royal Academy with more benefits.

In particular, it is said that among commoners, cadets graduating at the top of their class are given a special title of baron by the imperial family.

That’s why all the commoners attending the Royal Academy struggle to get the top spot.

I am also working hard every day to get the 1st position, or at least the 2nd position to be given a knighthood.

However, the leader I met in my first monster hunting class is a very scary person.

When I first saw it, I wondered if an angel in heaven would appear on earth like that.

“Nice to meet you. I am Alberto Salihar Maydern of the Maydern family.”

In addition, he kindly even used honorific words for us commoners!

I thought to myself that I was lucky, but I couldn’t let go of my tension.

For me as a commoner, the leader’s evaluation is absolute.

Who dares to challenge a noble?

So we headed to the unexplored territory.

The backcountry was truly amazing.

It was said that it was an unexplored area, but the ruins seen here and there looked like a city from a legend.

Looking at the unexplored land like that, we started a meeting prior to the full-scale monster hunting.

You have to catch various monsters for a total of five days.

“Today, I plan to look around the area and see what is there. In a place like this, no matter where or what happens, it’s not strange. Risk identification is the most important thing.”

Chief led the meeting skillfully.

Here I have a question about risk factors.

“Captain. You just said risk factors. What do you mean specifically?”

“I see. Thank you My question has been resolved.”

“Not much to say.”

The captain kindly answered my question.

It was a completely different, unfamiliar look from the aristocrats I had heard of.

“The first thing we need to do is figure out where we are going to be.”

At that time, the captain who was guiding us took out his sword while saying this.

Why are you suddenly pulling out your sword? It’s so scary.

“So, let everyone draw their weapons. If something dangerous happens, shouldn’t you protect your own body? It’s good to trust your colleagues.”

Aha. It seems that the captain wants us to be able to protect our bodies by ourselves.

I was not wrong.

Rather than trusting my colleagues to protect my body, I should be able to protect myself.

He is a very trustworthy leader.

My friend and I put the magic wand on our backs and took out the wand from our bosom.

Spells cast with a wand travel farther, and stronger spells are created.

However, wands can only fly close range, but are accurate and quick to respond, making them the preferred weapon of wizards.

“You pulled out a wand, not a magic wand? Are you still okay?”

At that time, the captain in front of us asked if we could take out the wands.

You were talking with a smile, but something scared me.

It was like asking, ‘How strong can you pull out your wand and attack?’

“Ah, yes, that, what, there, what… that… again… wand… Shall I take it out?”

I answered in a trembling voice.

“No. If you are comfortable using wands, use them. Because I respect Jo Won’s opinion.”

Ugh, the captain said he respects our opinions, but this is clearly testing us.

It is true that wands are more comfortable than wands.

The cane is heavy and inconvenient to carry around.

That’s why I took out the wand, but the captain didn’t seem to like us.

“That, no, sorry! I’ll take out my wand again!”

“No, if you want to use a wand, you can use it?”

Ugh, it seems the captain keeps testing us.

The moment you take out the wand because you want to use it, you will surely say this to us.

‘I told you to take out the wand, but did you really pull it out? Ha, really. This is why common people. Do you think it’s easy when I smile and say honorifics?’

“Sorry! I’ll just use my cane!”

I said sorry, put the wand back into my bosom, and grabbed the wand from my back.

If you look wrong, you will be in big trouble.

He’s smiling, but behind that smile, he’s sure to have dark thoughts and terrifying schemes!

“Are you uncomfortable using a wand because of what I asked?”

Now I’m asking openly.

If you make a mistake in the answer here, you will be in big trouble.

“Oh no! It’s just that we like wands!”

“Oh, that’s right! I just took the wand out to check it out!”

Me and my friend answered with all our might.

“If that’s comfortable for you, then do it.”

“Go, thank you!”
