Reborn Soul Master: The Rogue's Counterattack

It seems that the death of his long-time mentor Isaac and the deaths of his friends have come as a great shock to him.

"Yes. I didn't think about dying until I achieved my goal." Cardan smiled kindly like Isaac and answered Esther.

Wow! Then Esther wiped her tears and ran to Cardin, who patted her on the back quietly.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Esther calmed down and bowed her head to apologize. Cardin smiled and said it was okay.

"Cardan." Finally, Mathias walked over to Cardin and asked for a handshake.

"Let's have a duel next time we meet. We haven't had a formal duel in the academy, right?"

"Senior will lose, right?" Cardin chuckled and shook his hand.

After the farewells were over, Cardin came to Teacher Belid.

"Teacher, are you okay?" Teacher Belid seemed to have seriously injured one leg in the battle with the demons and was using a crutch.

"That's fine. It will get better over time." It's a blessing to be able to save your life from the demons, said Teacher Belid with a smile.

"Yes. Cardan, where would you like to go? For students who choose freedom as their graduation gift, we offer scrolls of teleportation to anywhere desired."

"I'm not sure where to start yet, so I want to stay in the capital for the time being." Hearing Cardin's answer, Teacher Belid frowned.

"The capital is dangerous. I heard that there are demons in the royal city." After hearing the news that the demons destroyed the Hero Academy, many people left the capital.

Fortunately, with the protection of the two guardians, the Hero Academy was able to hold the funeral safely.

But if the two guardians leave, this will no longer be a safe place.

"I just want to stay until the funeral is over. First, I have to go to Professor Isaac's laboratory..." Cardin was vague, and Teacher Belid patted Cardin's shoulder cautiously.

"Professor Isaac is a good man. And Cardan, you are a necromancer who can carry on his legacy."

"Thank you. Oh, by the way, teacher." Cardin nodded, seemed to suddenly remember something, and called out "Belied".

"What?"

"The man with the octopus tattoo that I saw in the deceased's memory. That man was a demon."

"As expected." Surprisingly, Belid did not show any surprise. He seemed to have expected it, and his expression was calm.

"All the demons we fought had a tattoo. Of course, I saw an octopus tattoo as well."

Maybe that tattoo is evidence of a demon, or someone who has been demonized?

Belid asked calmly. Cardin nodded cautiously.

"I'm sorry for not telling you ahead of time. I didn't know who to trust."

"I understand. If it were me, I would make the same choice as Cardan and observe the situation." Cardan nodded and asked another question.

"Teacher, will you join the resistance?"

"No. I have some colleagues who need to be looked for separately. I plan to go find them." Hearing this, Cardin tilted his head and thought about it.

"Are you going to find the colleague who took care of you in the Knights?" Of course, no matter where she went, it had nothing to do with Cardin.

"Please take care of yourself."

"Cardan needs to be healthy too. Not being able to teach you anything may become a regret for my whole life."

“I’ve learned a lot by being around you and watching you from behind.”

"You're really good at talking? Where did you learn that? You seem a bit mature for your age." Since I couldn't say "second round of life", I just smiled instead of answering.

"Ah, and Cardin." It seemed that the conversation was about to end, but Belid seemed to have thought of something and called Cardin again.

"Yes, teacher."

"I used to fight in the war with your father." Cardin was surprised by Belid's words, then he thought about how fast news spread and waited for her next words.

May have heard about it in advance through Gilbert or Dimitar.

"Your father was amazing and handsome. He was a magician and necromancer whom I respected."

"……Thanks."

"Kadan, if you have nowhere to go, come back here." Snap! Teacher Belid snapped his fingers, and a small folded piece of paper appeared in the air.

"It says where my colleagues are. When you get there, just mention my name."

"Thank you, teacher." Cardin bowed respectfully after expressing his gratitude, and then picked up the note floating in the air.

"Well, I wish you good health, Cardin."

"Teachers need to be healthy too." After saying goodbye to Teacher Belid, Cardin looked at the broken academy building and began to walk in a certain direction.

Soon he reached the building that housed the Necromancer classroom where Professor Isaac and he had spent so much time together.

"This is the laboratory... This is the research room." It was not difficult to find the way because it was a familiar place. I have been to the research room several times.

Soon, Cardin walked into the laboratory and immediately took out the necklace that Isaac gave him from his pocket.

The necklace is in the shape of a key, and Isaac said there is a hole in the corner of the study where the key can be inserted.

Click! After inserting the key and turning it, there was an unlocking sound.

Boom! At the same time, the ground shook slightly and the wall began to move to one side.

Soon, Isaac's secret warehouse opened, and Cardin sighed briefly and walked in.

The warehouse was neatly organized, just like Isaac's usual personality.

"About the undead... the types of magic that necromancers use..." Worried that if he left them here, they might fall into the hands of the demons, Cardin decided to take all the educational materials with him.

At this time, a book caught Cardin's attention. [About Magic Absorption]
