Note: 'Road Mouse' is the key to the success of this special mission.
After reading the notification from the system, Jani immediately left and met one of the core disciples of the shadow troop group No.10. This student is a very open and friendly person, but behind his attitude it is, he is the head of one of the largest street groups in the kingdom and is tasked with gathering information for the shadow forces.
In the city center they are often referred to by the nickname 'Street Mouse' because their group is made up of ordinary people who do not have a bright future and end up living on the streets. Although they were often looked down upon by almost all nobles, but not a few of them had pent-up talent and trained in the secret organization belonging to the kingdom and it became one of the tasks of the No.10 core disciples.
The location of their headquarters is in one of the uninhabited buildings in the corner of the city center and happens to have no access to the main road so it is not so noticed by some locals.
When Jani was near the base, Jani told the driver of his horse-drawn carriage to stop and get off the train. Not long after he got off the carriage, two knights also got off his horse and stood behind Jani acting as Jani's bodyguard.
Although they were called bodyguards, Jani did not consider them to be so because of the words he received from Hertez this morning.
Some time before.
Just as Jani was about to leave the palace, she passed by Hertez who immediately greeted her with a warm welcome "Ah! It just so happens that we meet your majesty!"
"what's the matter, uncle Hertez?"
"i'll get to the point. Prince! Please grant my request!!"
"well, if it's still within my means, I'll do it!"
"relax! All you have to do is say you agree! Let's try and say agree!."
Jani, who felt something was suspicious, walked right past Hertez saying "i won't do it."
"Why! Not that it's so easy! Even a child can do it."
"uncle Hertez, I still have a lot of things to do. So, if you still don't want to explain your wishes, then just find someone else."
"well! aye! I'll explain, okay!. Actually you know not long ago we finished choosing a member of the Knight Of Crimson Flames, right?"
"yes I know that. Those who entered the group were the best fire magicians in the kingdom, right?"
"right once!. not only are they talented in the fire element alone, they must also understand the essence of the Fire element greatly."
"let me guess. during the fire element essence comprehension test, there were some noble children who did not pass and those who did not accept it, directly complain to their parents who have great influence in this kingdom. Is my guess right?"
"In outline it's true, but that's not the case. The problem was that the two noble children who did not understand the true essence of the fire element, were now challenging myself to show the true essence of the fire element!"
"then, why don't you just show up?"
"haizz, Alex. You know what my nickname is?"
"Anti Mage Knight?"
"yes, that's true. The reason I was nicknamed like that was because I had a lot of mana, but could not practice any magic elements. Although I can't use elemental magic, but I'm practicing on the way of the sword and also developing elemental magic that is able to undo magic to a certain degree."
"alright, I get it! Then why didn't Uncle ask my father for help?"
"Your father is currently busy looking for a solution how to deal with the pressure of the Church of Holy Light regarding the temple case."
Hearing that his father was looking for a solution to the problem, Jani reluctantly accepted the two men to follow him as bodyguards and showed them both what the true essence of the fire element was.
Back to the present.
When the two knights looked around them, they both got confused and one of them asked Jani "Prince, don't you want to show us the essence of the fire element?"
"that's right." Briefly answer Jani while glancing around her.
"then why are we going to an ordinary place like this?" ask one of them who feels disgusted by the conditions of this dirty environment that is becoming commonplace in slums.
"sorry, prince!"
"then come with me and remember you must not say anything or tell anyone about what you see here."
"if one of us breaks it, what will happen to the prince?"
"i'll kill you both! All right, now follow me!"
The two nobles began to feel her hair goosebumps as if what Jani said was the truth and she would do it.
As they pass through a narrow alley in the slums, the three of them finally arrive at a corner of the hallway where several groups of delinquents and Jani approaches them and says "I want to meet the 'Rat King'!"
after the group heard the name they immediately showed a serious expression then banged on the wooden wall while saying "someone wants to meet Big Boss!"
"okay!" answer briefly from behind the wall and then the wall shifts showing a place from behind the wall. The place sounded noisy before the three of them even entered.
"come in and watch!" said the delinquent who smiled at Jani's group.
As they entered, the screams of many people began to sound clear and Jani calmly ignored them and walked towards a separate room where the 'Rat King' was located.
Unlike Jani who could ignore him, the two nobles were quickly attracted and then asked Jani "Prince, what are they watching?"
"if not wrong it is a street fight that is held every night and in one night there can be a fight more than a hundred times and with various types of fights such as fights without magic, using magic, using magic, or fight for weapons." Replied Jani who explained about the fight show.
"wow hundreds of games every night! I can feel how exciting that fight is!" replied Miss Ash who was getting interested in the match.
"you're right, Miss Ash! See even there are many nobles watching the game while gambling amongst themselves!" reply one knight who came along with them and pointed to the audience area filled with people clearly visible as a noble in the royal capital.
Jani just smiled and ignored their interest and said "you can watch it later, now we have to see the owner of this place first."
The reason why Jani was calmly ignoring the atmosphere of this place was because on earth, He and Jali had opened several places like this and in fact this kind of fight place did make money very quickly.
The moment they entered the room, a middle-aged man greeted them "welcome, your majesty at my small headquarters!"
"it seems like business here is going well huh, Rat King?"
"hey! This is all thanks to the idea of the prince! I could start a business like this!" replied the real Rat King was also the core disciple of the shadow troops with his code name No.10.
As Rat King said, the business of this battle arena began because of Jani's idea that suggested making a gathering place for nobles in secret. Although Jani initially intended to open a casino, but it turns out his father had made it with the same goal of digging information from the nobles.
The two nobles who stood behind Jani were shocked because they did not believe that this place was made under the supervision of the royal family. In order not to disturb the prince, the two of them remained silent while listening to the continuation of the prince's conversation with the Rat King.
After enough of the bases, Jani then asked Rat King "Rat King, has all the information been collected properly?"
Hearing the question, the Rat King immediately took out some documents and handed them to the Prince himself as he said "as ordered, I've sorted out some royal institutions that should be cleared as soon as possible."
Jani read it without the slightest expression as if he had realized the status of decay in every institution, but what surprised him was that in the last sheet there was one institution that turned out to also be included in the list of the Westeria Knight Order.
After seeing the list, Jani put it in his dimensional bracelet and said "Oh yes, Rat King is tonight's game still long over?"
"let me ask first." The Rat King spoke to his men and not long after he said "it happens to be the Prince! There is one more match. How about we watch this game together?"
Jani agrees and follows Rat King to a corner of the room where there is a window to watch the game.
It did not take long for the match to finish and after that the spectators also disbanded themselves so that the place was full of people, now there are some cleaning staff who are cleaning this place.
After seeing that this place was empty, Jani jumped over the window and descended towards the match venue while saying "Oi! You two get down here!"
They both had doubts, but because they had no choice they were finally forced to go down to the match place together with Rat King.
Arriving at the match venue, the female knight named Ash immediately asked "the real prince what is your purpose in bringing us here?"
"explained already? To show what the true essence of fire element is!"
"if so, why don't we head for a volcanic crater!? The place was filled with extremely thick fire element Mana!"
"hehe. showed the essence of the fire element need not Mana the fire element. Unless it is something within you that can produce it."
Jani took the position of preparing to attack while saying "in that case, how about we just start learning and the first lesson is to fight with me you two!"
