Chapter 53: Last hope (2)

...

“Master!”

When he walked in, someone was working on the documents seated at the desk of the Master. Euren walked up, and when he approached, the person sitting on the Master’s chair was not Jaehwan.

“…Why are you here?”

Golden hair with one silver wing at the back. It was a different man, but not the one who belonged on the seat. That was when Euren remembered Jaehwan’s annoyed face looking through the documents.

-What are all these laws? How can I read all this? How about you do this?

-The only ones who can process the documents are the Master or the Secretary of Law.

Jaehwan brightened up.

-Who’s the Secretary of Law? Bring him here.

-You killed him a few days ago.

-Ugh.

Jaehwan then asked,

-…Who knows most about the law in this fortress?

It was a hard question. Euren started to think, but Jaehwan seemed to have found his own answer.

-Wait, he can probably do it!

And Euren knew who was ‘he’ now.

“…Chancellor.”

It was Karlton with linen bandages all over his head and body, working on the documents.

‘I hope he’s doing well.’

Jaehwan thought about Karlton who he left at the office. He wasn’t going to make him the Secretary of Law from the beginning as Karlton was hospitalized a few days ago.

-Wow, Karlton, you are so handsome.

-So handsome for sure!

-My next work is [Tentacle Dead Man Karlton]!

If Jaehwan did not visit the hospital room that day, Karlton would probably still be in his hospital room, enjoying his time with beautiful sculptors working on sculptures. Jaehwan thought as he stabbed the [Dead Man Karlton] sculptures that he confiscated using his rights as the Master.

‘It’s about time I get the feeling.’

Jaehwan was concentrating on training to stab. In the corner were the powdery debris of the various Karlton sculptures. Chunghuh spoke as he looked at the debris.

“Kid, do you know how much those cost?”

“Who cares?”

“A Master who don’t have any sense of money.”

Chunghuh reached down and began picking up the unharmed sculptures and putting them into his pockets.

‘Fools! Young girls are crazy over these Karlton collectibles!’

Jaehwan then turned to Chunghuh and spoke.

“Old man.”

“What?”

“My new skill is finished.”

“…Really?”

The reason why Jaehwan and Chunghuh were at the ceremony was to create a new skill. After he had faced Catastrophe, Jaehwan felt the need for a new skill. His [Strong Stab] was powerful but its range was too large that it wasn’t good to be used against an individual target.
