"Only bruised. Your hand bone is not broken or cracked."
Ah, not so cracked huh it turns out.
A man in casual clothing and jacket got rid of the portable X-ray he was holding. Since my hand was bandaged with rubber before being X-rayed, I didn't have to worry about it touching my skin.
This man tidied up the tools he was carrying. He was one of the five royal intelligence health experts stationed in this city. Coincidentally, she was the closest one from this mall when I called.
There is no obvious factor of this man. Generic brown hair and eyes, glasses, and short hair. It's easy to forget. However, I did not forget his figure and name just like that. His name was Julius Narcis of the Narcis family. When I heard his surname I remembered a flower called Narcissu. Yeah, it doesn't matter.
Without saying anything else, Julius immediately left this room.
"Thank you, yeah."
Julius waved only one hand without an answer. He didn't even turn around. So cool.
"Well, you're all there, Gin. Suddenly came asking for an examination. Just wanted to look around again. By the way, you haven't told me how your hands are like that."
"Huh? Can't you see it?" I raised my left hand.
"I know it's a bite mark. But who did you bite, or what?"
"Oh, that," I don't think he knew it was a bite mark.
I also told him about Mulisu who lost control and I who raised him. Of course, I'm not saying that Mulisu is doing his activities as a member of the Agade. I'm just saying he was suddenly attacked by Ukin.
"kin'is? What do you mean Ukin who used to be a student of Lacuna?"
"Yes, that's right. That's ukin."
I confirmed Shu En's question. Ever since Lacuna left, only Ukin had spread the name as Lacuna's successor. People knew him as a student of Lacuna.
On the other hand, I was on hiatus for two years. Mulisu is also active as a member of Agade. Although rumors circulated that Lacuna had three disciples in this kingdom, but, no one knew her identity. Only Ukin's identity came to the surface.
For the schneider agent, Ukin was the worst news that could be heard. Many black market agents and people died fighting Ukin. In the absence of Lacuna or two Lacuna disciples whose identities were unknown, in practice, Ukin was the wildest.
Shu En uses the word wild, not strong. This was because Ukin was indeed not the strongest person in this kingdom. However, the problem is, Ukin is not a member of the mafia or any organization. So, Ukin is like a stray dog that will bite anyone.
"Yes, never mind discussing it again." I brought a new topic. "So, Shu En, how is it? Has anyone protested?"
"Rather than asking if someone has protested, it might be better if you ask someone who has not protested or not."
"Eh? Someone didn't protest?"
Shu En fell silent while massaging his forehead.
Hahaha, I'll bet he must have wanted to complain, saying "why not ask that from the beginning?".
"So, is anyone not protesting?" I changed the question, holding back a laugh.
"A little while. I'm looking first. The print out is mixed with the other document."
Shu En walked to a short table, between the couches, where there were countless documents and maps. He asks Ur and the others to help him find a map. Emir and Inanna also helped. On the other hand I fell silent, trying to think of something else.
"Shu En, while you're looking for that, I'd like to ask."
"Yes?"
"You're from military school, right? Not a knight school."
"Didn't you check my background? But, yes, no, let me answer. Yes, I'm from military school."
For the record, military schools and knight schools were under different management. The knight school is in internal security management. In other words, police and soldiers. On the other hand, military schools are under the management of the kingdom's external security. In other words, the army.
In addition to enforcing the law, the police must also maintain the image. Therefore, the code of ethics of knights must be held firmly. On the other hand, the military is only in charge of carrying out orders to maintain the defense of the kingdom. Any way is allowed.
It also has a great effect on society. The public became to view the police and the school of knights as something honorable while the military as a place of cunning and resourceful people. And, of course, nobles prefer knight schools because they have to maintain the image.
Sometimes I meet some unique people. One of them was Regal Knight Yurika's princess, Zage.
"When management was still in the hands of the Cleinhad family, they recruited anyone who looked promising no matter if he was from a knight school, military school, civilian school, or anyone else. I wonder why you guys didn't protest when the Azzaha family chose to only take people from the knight school."
"Do you think we have the power? He was appointed directly by His Majesty the King. We can't fight it, can we? And again, a portion of the schneider agents came from noble families and knight schools. Of course we're in the minority, as we are today."
I questioned the reason the Azzaha family was chosen. Was that decision Fahren's own? Or the decision of his advisor? Or her consort's advice? Yeah, it doesn't change the fact that at the end, Fahren made the decision.
Back to school problems. Although the education of knight schools and military schools had already begun at the level of Junior High, they were never sent to the battlefield or suppress the rebellion directly. Maximum only see the police office or military headquarters.
"By the way, Gin, you want to recruit and train these kids to be spies?"
"And I said yesterday. I want to recruit and train them. Simply put, I want to set up an intelligence school. If they recruited them, they would still have the previous school doctrine. In the future, this will make the internal more easily broken, as it is now. Therefore, at least, now we will recruit them before the doctrine penetrates into their souls."
People must say I'm the cause of the split that's happening right now. But, actually, I'm just a trigger. The potential for division had existed even before I came.
"You said it was simple, but it wasn't that easy, Fergusso. Uh! Here goes!"
Eventually Shu En found a print out of the list he was looking for. He gave it to me while the others went back to check the documents.
"Huh, a lot too. There are nine people who have not protested."
If a normal person saw this number, they would say it was a very small number. In fact, this number is not up to one per thousand. Actually, there is a possibility that others who want to be quiet, accept. However, perhaps, they came under pressure from their comrades.
The reason why I say big is because I estimate there might be only two or three people who don't protest. The people recruited by the Azzaha family were nobles and students of the knight school.
Relationships and communication were important to the school of knights and nobles. If it is discovered that they do not protest, then the relationship with other nobles will be bad. If this happens, the lives of these people will be difficult in the future.
On the other hand, it could be that these people were just pretending. There is a chance they are pretending. Then, after gaining my trust, they will betray. After that, their image would skyrocket in the eyes of other nobles.
Yeah, nevermind. Let's see it later.
"Shu En, I want to meet these people. Tell them to meet me.... How about Thursday tomorrow? Three more days."
"OK...."
"For now...."
I stood up and walked to the end of the room, to where the arsenal chest was located. Actually, I just want to carry a small knife or gun as usual. However, because this morning has taken the coffin of the arsenal, yes already, I just bring it all.
From inside the crate, I took out a long shotgun and closed it again. This rifle is not an anti-tank gun or a magnum sniper rifle, just an ordinary rifle with a caliber of 7.62 mm.
"Eh? Gin, what are you doing?"
Seriate
