In the Southwest of the Baharuth Empire, Stone Town.
In the field of city training, the many warriors who had come to practice were all making a circle now, as two figures were fighting in their midst.
"Oh!! Lord Alard is the strongest!"
"Wow! He really is a Hero, He can really defeat our Old Man Raiger!"
(Raiger picture)
"Huff! Huff! The commander is really strong." with a slight tired voice, Raiger stated, as his pulse appeared on his forehead, listening to the Warrior's own comments.
Meanwhile, he stood on the ring, his body full of small bruises, while he was panting, his body drenched in sweat, as he looked at the Commander in front of him with admiration.
"God! You can't rest with this little bootlicking, Old Man!! I'm coming again!" our protagonist, Alard von Auguste.
While he threw the jab straight into Raiger's face.
Engaged!
Raiger blocked the attack hastily by hiding both of his arms.
"God! Catch her!" soon Alard quickly gave a clean kick to Raiger's leg, causing him to fall to the ground.
"arg! It hurts! Commander, this is just a spar, please forgive me." lamented Old Raiger as Alard told him to duel with him from morning, and all this time ended with him being toppled to the ground by a youngster like Alard.
"You can't have that mindset here, Old Man. Even in the spar you have to give everything, what if at the moment I am an enemy, not an ally?..you couldn't possibly breathe until now" said Alard, when he finally got off the ring, because he had been arguing with Raiger for 5 consecutive hours, while Raiger was still in the ring stunned.
'Huff! Huff! Was he really a 10-year-old and not an old monster? Even I who have trained my martial arts for almost 30 years cannot even defeat him, is this the so-called monster on human skin?' raiger asked, as he looked at the beautiful blue sky, while he did not even have the energy to move his body upwards.
"Wow! The Legion Commander is truly the Hero of the West! Even Lord Raiger can't beat him."
"Of course, what do you expect from our Western Hero! How could an Old man like him defeat our Land Hero." hearing the talk there, Raiger could not help but smile.
"Hey!! You rascal! I can hear you!! just so you know?! Run 1,000 rounds of the City! and if I find you cheating, you'll all be demoted to foot soldiers!"
"W-what!" the soldiers complained.
Inside the mansion given to Alard by the Mayor of the City, Alard came out of his bathroom, while he had a towel covering his groin, as he wore a luxurious white bathrobe.
"Huu, it's really fun sparring with someone who has equal power." Alard muttered, because it had been a long time since he had fought with the humans that stood with him all this time.
Huff!
Alard chimed in, as he jumped onto his cushioned sofa, while resting his body.

While Alard was checking his stats, humming melodiously with a smile.
Yoke! Yoke!
A knock came echoing in the room, while Alard looked at the door, giving his permission.
"Come in and report."
When, door opens ... An elegant yet beautiful figure with long sea blue hair came into view, as she was slightly surprised, seeing Alard in a loose robe and a towel covering her @ngkangan cell.
Because, even if Alard might still be 10 years old, her body was like an excellent fighter, and with her loose robes, while he soon calms down. .
"Commander of the 3rd Battalion Froza, report to the Legion Commander!, we have received orders from the Higher-ups!"
"Say."
"It looks like there is a suspicious movement on the road between Windrain City and Dabika Village" Froze Vanelland said taking out a letter from his hand, as he opened the letter, with the badge of the Imperial Family stamped inside.
"There has been a recent growth in the number of bandits on the main road between Windrain City and Dabika Village! The Empire suspects these bandits are soldiers of the Kingdom's workers disguised as bandits!"
"By His Majesty's decree, the Emperor ... We want the newly appointed Legion Commander, Alard von Auguste, to personally examine this bandit and find out his true intentions." with that Froza stopped his reading, staring at Alard.
“Bring me the map.” Alard only said that much, while Froza bowed respectfully and brought the map quickly.
'Hmm, what is near the road between these two Towns and Villages?' thought Alard, check out the map in the Empire's Southwest.
"Commander, if I may speak?" suddenly Froza exclaimed with his usual stoic face, raising his head to look at him.
"talk" he said as he moved near the map, pointing to the map he was talking about.
"The supply to the northern border is usually supplied by the Southeastern side of our Empire, and because the roads are not transportable in the Northeast because it has high mountains, off-road terrain and unconditional weather, he said, the supply had to go through our Southwest passage." and just as he was about to continue, Alard stopped him mid-sentence.
"I know your purpose, Miss Vanelland."
"The kingdom this time is mainly sending mercenaries to it to fight against our Northern Empire."
"So, our guess here is, they've been getting information about this state of ours, so they've sent there soldiers on the main road who act as bandits to survey our landscape and then send a team, So, and the reserved Kingdom team will act and try to block the path provided."
"Y-Yes, sir, as you say." Froza replied, slightly surprised by the intelligence of the young man in front of him.
If he knew this from the start, why would he still be wasting time here? Shouldn't they immediately hunt down the bandits, so they can't report to the Kingdom?
"Well, as much as this must be the Kingdom's strategy of a normal mind, there are other plots hidden within this Kingdom's plan." Alard stated, while holding his chin with his thumb, thinking deeply.while, even Froza with an ordinary stoic face could not help but make a puzzled face.
"What does the Commander mean by that? If I could know?" froza asked, because he did not understand what Alard meant, and the curiosity to know what he meant also made him impatient for the second time in his life! first of all, why is human greed endless?
"You know, Kingdom people have brains, too?" Alard said, making Froza show a slight displeased expression, was he mocking me? or seriously ask me?
"Of course, they have it. .. All living things have brains." still answering the question, Froza maintained his stoic face.
"Then do you not think, they will think what we will think, and will rethink what we will think, and will rethink what we think and make plans that we can't think of."
"..."
"This ... nk? rethink?" Froza tried to get his word out, while Alard could not help but have a small smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll tell you in a simple way."
“If we can guess what plan they have made, wouldn't they also guess that we can know the plan there.” When I took it out, she turned around quickly as she finally understood my point.
"Do-do it mean—"
"Yes, that means .. it is a diversion, there is a real purpose must something related to our borders." Alard said seriously, when he after a few minutes, decided to bring 500 soldiers with Froza and Rezoro.

First, I'm sorry... I'm not a professional writer, So I completely forgot to improve Mc's stats, So you can see this as a plot hole for a budding writer, and will try not to repeat the same mistakes.
Second, although Mc is not a genius in our eyes! He was truly a genius in the eyes of the New World Human society, Although a level 2 Caster was not so rare in the New World, it was extremely rare to find a young level 2 Caster, even though a level 2 Caster was not so rare in the New World, don't even imagine a 10-year-old boy being one..
