Chapter 16 - #16 A Special Class? (2/2)
Hmm, not bad, just 3 points for something so effective. And as I thought...both intelligence and constitution increase my Energy.
”Young lord! Are you alright?!” After seeing that the man finally lost, Ichika immediately ran up to me and checked the wound on my cheek with a worried expression.
---
'Why didn't he use his fire right from the beginning?! That was too reckless from the young lord!' Ichika thought while checking on Akashi's wound
---
”Stop it, it's not the end yet.” I gently slapped her hand away and approached the thug who was lying on the ground with a burnt face.
”W-what do you want?!” Judging from his voice, if he could cry with this burnt face, tears would already start falling down.
There is no way these guys would act on their own...There must be a bigger group behind them. No one sane would dare to attack the son of the influential person without any backing.
”Tell me, where is your group located, how many people and if any noble family is backing you.” I said, surprising both Ichika and the thug.
”I- we weren't the part of any organization...” He said with a shaky voice.
”I have never mentioned anything about the organization. Tell me if you don't want to be eaten alive by the flames. Slowly burning your skin, from your legs up to your face once again. Even your genitals won't be spared.” I said and his expression immediately became horrified and even Ichika looked at me in shock.
”Decide, now!” I said and my right arm caught on fire while I was staring down at him with my cold red eyes.
”Ah!! Yes! Just don't let that fire anywhere near me! I have no idea how much guys our organization have but we are indeed backed by the noble family with the blue dragon as insignia. Please don't kill me, that's all I know! I am just a lowly underling.” He said with a pleading voice.
”I won't kill you...” I said and extended both of my hands towards him.
”W-what do-”
”I will just cleanse you” I poured the big amount of my energy into both of my hands and flames of high temperature gushed out of my palms enveloping his entire body.
He didn't even have a chance to scream or say any letter before his body disappeared, leaving only ashes on the ground.

[Class: Young noble (Lv. 1; +1 Cha) 4/10 XP]
[Special Class: Fire Monarch (Lv. 1; +1 Cha, +1 Int, +1 Const) 1/10 BXP]
...Fire Monarch? Interesting...I would think of it more as a title rather than class but I am not complaining. After all, it is a special class.
”Ichika, do you have any trusted comrades in our guards?” I asked, waking her up from her daze.
”Ah...yes, there are a few of them.” She replied why looking how the ashes were blown away by the wind.
”Once you have time, tell them to investigate that noble family for me. They should be in the opposite area of the city to us. Tell them to play it safe and to be careful. There is no need to rush things.” I ordered and went to loot and burn down the body of the first thug and Ichika just nodded at me.
Tch...just a few silver coins

”Young lord, we need to tend to your wound, please.” She said with a pleading voice.
”Yes, we will clean it. Let's go buy something to clean the wound, some other things and mainly a black cloak for me.” I said and started to leave the valley
”Why black cloak of all things?” She asked with a curious tone and used her gear's ability to disappear and followed right after me.
”Because we are going out of the city!” I said with a smirk across my face while wiping the blood away from my face with my handkerchief.
”W-whaaat?!! We can't, young lord!! There are numerous Danger Beasts outside of the city. Even I am not confident to be able to protect you from them. Why would you want to go there?” Ichika immediately started panicking when she heard my words and tried to scare me with the Danger Beasts.
”We will go only to the forest close to the Capital, there shouldn't be any dangerous beasts. As for why...I am lacking money for a present.” I said with my poker face while I continued walking as if what I just said was normal but Ichika suddenly stopped following me.
---
'F-for a present?!! Isn't your family extremely rich?! Don't tell me that young lord already has someone he likes and wants to buy them a present with his own money...But who would it be? He spent most of the time locked up in the mansion, playing with only...don't tell me...Aiko?! T-this is bad! I must talk to the young lord about this, he can't marry his own maid!' Ichika kept thinking about things until she completely misunderstood Akashi's intentions.
---
...Why do I have a feeling that there will be another annoying situation?
I couldn't help but think while I was walking towards the general store.
