The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 54 - Offer

"W-what did you say just now?!" alex shouted with a panicked face. His body even reflexively leaped backwards away from his interlocutor.

"Well, I told you. I've cleared up that bandit for you. Although I don't know if they're the right group." Lucius replied while scratching his head.

Alex, who saw some dirt on Lucius' clothes and skin, knew that the classmate was not kidding.

With wide eyes, Alex asked.

"In-where did you hunt them?"

"Hmmm...."

Lucius is seen mumbling before tearing a piece of paper from his book. Using his pen, Lucius immediately drew a simple map with the City of Arcanum as its center.

"So in the North here there is a kind of hill, covered in dense forest. Well, in this area the hiding. Do you understand? Uugh..." explains Lucius with a map image that is almost impossible to read it.

But Alex knew very well which place Lucius was referring to.

How not?

Alex himself had actually known the position of the bandit group since a few days ago. He had already intended to eradicate them with an army from the Brown Family.

But before that, Alexander Brown intended to test one thing.

That is the power and ability of his classmate, Lucius.

"Hmm, is it here? Or here huh? I don't know, but I'm sure it's around this hill." said Lucius, who is still trying to continue his explanation and improve the details of the map.

'This guy's.... Don't tell him....'

With Alex's intelligence also above average, he immediately realized it quickly. Using all the puzzle pieces of information he had previously obtained.

The infernal steel sword that melted until it was not formed. The blue flames that even today still continue to burn the ground in the depths of the forest. Then the ability to search for and hunt down a group of bandits alone.

'It's not wrong anymore. The real hero who saved this city from the threat of that mysterious monster, was not Selena Stormblade the Guild Master. But Lucius Nightshade thought Alex in his heart.

In this world, only he could deduce that. It was because only he also knew that Lucius' sword melted down exactly one day after the mysterious monster incident.

With a look filled with terror and fear, Alex looked at the black-haired young man before him.

The figure of the young man, who even today is still trying to explain the location of the bandit.

In this still quiet F class, Alex is terrified of what Lucius might have done to her.

But....

"Oi, did you hear? Aargh, it's hard to explain. Anyway around here." Lucius said as he pointed his finger at the piece of paper.

A piece of paper now filled with scribbles that only worsened the quality of the map made by Lucius, which from the beginning had also been bad.

Holding back his fear, Alex immediately reached out his right hand to grab the piece of paper. Before finally walking away left this class with fear.

"lex? Where are you?" asked Lucius curiously.

Hearing his voice alone, Alex's body instantly trembled in fear. But if you don't answer, Alex is afraid Lucius will do something with that much power.

A power equivalent to a S-level mage or knight in this human kingdom.

"I need to report this information to my subordinates. They'll make sure of the location." Alex replied in a slightly trembling voice.

Lucius soon realizes Alex's strange demeanor and questions him.

"Alex, just relax. If you think about their stolen property, everything is still in that cave. Uh! Aye! I didn't take one at all! So don't accuse me of anything!"

Hearing that answer, Alex could only be astonished at Lucius' attitude.

'You?! With that much power, what are you saying....'

When he turned his face away, Alex immediately regained his senses. That what he was afraid of earlier, was completely useless.

"seen right? I didn't steal anything so...."

"Pff! Haha...."

Suddenly Alex was no longer able to hold back his laughter after seeing Lucius' attitude.

"Huh? Why are you laughing? You think I stole? Listen yeah! My father taught me to be honest. Taking the stolen money is the same...."

"No. I was just laughing at myself." Alex cut Lucius' explanation.

Lucius' figure was seen wearing a facial expression that was so confused by all these situations. He frowned and raised one of his eyebrows.

"Whatever it is, you'll pay the prize, right?" lucius asked with a slightly worried face. He is afraid that Alex intends to trick him once again.

After breathing out, Alex replied.

"Aah, about that? Just chill. After the academy, go to the blacksmith. I'll pay you there." Alex replied, now with a friendly smile on his face as usual.

"Huh? Why is it there?"

"Well, as you can see. I don't bring any money right now. And there's a lot of money from customers."

"Well, that's right."

From outside the door of this class, both of them could hear the sound of footsteps and light talk.

"Can. My father allowed you to go to the library." said Emily kindly to the woman walking next to him.

"Thank you so much, Emily! I really wanted to learn that, but most of the books in this academy have been borrowed by the seniors." Sophia said happily.

"Just calm. You can read it all there. But it can't be taken out of the room." Emily replied.

"Eh, Lucius? Alex? You guys have come so early?' sophia asked after seeing the two in the classroom.

"That's how. In a moment, I need to get out." replied Alex who immediately left the class to send the information just now by mail to his subordinates.

Shortly after, Max and Oliver followed. Followed by old man Anderson who taught in this class.

While Alex came a little late because it had to be the administration of mail delivery through services at this academy. But other than that....

The academy studies are back.

............

"Boss, a letter from Young Master" said one of the blacksmith's employees, handing over a letter.

In front of him, a large, burly figure of a man was seen tearing through the envelope and reading the contents for a while.

But after that....

'Sruuugg!'

The man apparently squeezed the letter and tore it to nothing.

"Bo-Boss?! What's going on?!" ask subordinates.

With such a terrifying look, the big man also retorted.

"Call everyone to gather here. Hurry along! This is a direct order from Young Master Alex!" yelled the man.

"Ba-good!"

Looking at the paper he had torn, he asked himself.

'Young Master, whatever you're planning.... I hope you succeed. Just like you always do.'
