    Chapter 426


    "The fact that his condition has worsened due to using his ability many times in a short time to fight Nathan Zuckerman alone must have also contributed to his long fainting."


    After examining Hosanna with Lusan and Enon, Yuder determined that it seemed Hosanna would have difficulty using his abilities properly for some time. Teleportation ability was notoriously tricky to usepared to others, and it was a natural consequence since he had recklessly used such an ability beyond what his body could handle.


    Nevertheless, in case he woke up and attempted to escape, Yuder asked that those guarding Hosanna''s side must tie his wrist together with theirs using a rope.


    Based on what he had seen and heard so far, Hosanna needed close contact with others to use his teleportation ability. And judging by the tendencies of teleportation ability users Yuder had met in his previous life, this meant that those in contact with Hosanna when he used his ability were highly likely to move along with him, even without the user''s consent.


    Teleportation ability users generally said that the power required increased exponentially as the number of people being transported and the distance grew.


    No matter how extraordinary and rare Hosanna''s ability was at this time, it would be impossible to attempt to escape to a distant ce while connected to someone else.


    "It would be great if Kanna could find a better way... but this is the best we can do for now."


    In his previous life, magesmissioned by Emperor Katchian had seeded in altering the structure of the Knight-suppression device and the Mage-suppression device to create an Awakener-suppression device. It had happened not long after Emperor Katchian had started giving Yuder secret missions.


    Though it didn''t work well on Yuder for the test, making the Emperor dissatisfied with the result, he had heard that the original suppression devices were almost ineffective against very strong individuals. Nevertheless, having such a device would have been helpful in suppressing without straining the body in a situation like this.


    ‘Why didn''t I pay more attention to how and who made it back then?’


    The regret was not only about that. Although most of this incident had gone as nned, there were still overlooked aspects.


    Whether it was Nathan Zuckerman''s emitted swordmaster aura, making Nahan fall from the third floor and yet sessfully escape, the southern merchants whose hidden intentions seemed not so good, or the innocent people and property damage during the process, they all contributed to a reason why he couldn''t simply feel relieved by the sess in catching Duke Tain and Baron Willhem.


    "And... this kind of thing will continue."


    The southern merchants and Nahan were all people who existed in his previous life. The fact that they had started to show different behaviors was probably because the Cavalry and Yuder had changed first, and thus met them.


    The small changes that urred from just one person''s transformation were gradually extending and connecting to ces beyond his knowledge.


    There might be more things happening now that did not ur back then. To prepare for that, he needed to understand and act upon more possibilities.


    Faster than before. In a way different from up to now...


    "What are you thinking about so much?"


    At that moment, Kishiar, who had taken off his coat, gently asked. His eyes scanned Yuder''s eyshes, which had just fluttered away from his deep thoughts.


    "I was just thinking about this incident for a moment."


    "I heard the news that someone spread a rumor today that we had been in the lounge all night during the party. Could it be about that?"


    At the unexpected question, Yuder was momentarily unable to respond quickly.


    Before going to see the members of the Star of Nagran today, Yuder had carried out the task of nailing upside down on the gate of Baron Willhem''s mansion the knight who had maliciously expelled Kanna.


    That man had shouted that rumor loudly and furiously at that time, but Yuder had long since pushed it out of his mind, not caring about it in the slightest, as he naturally did not find those words unpleasant.


    "No, it''s not that. But how did you know?"


    Kishiar had surely gone to the security management team much earlier than Yuder, so it was puzzling how he knew about the trivial event that had urred here today.


    "On my way here, I couldn''t help but hear how diligently others were talking about it."


    "I see."


    "If not, so be it. So, what have you been thinking about, Assistant?"


    Yuder blinked several times and answered slowly.


    "Just what kind of response we should prepare if such a task arises again... I was just thinking about such things for a moment."


    "Interesting. I''d like to hear what response you think is necessary."


    "It wasn''t anything extraordinary."


    "If it''s not extraordinary, then you can talk about it morefortably, right?"


    Kishiar''s articte way of expressing his desire to achieve something was indeed very characteristic of him.


    ''Anyway, these were things I was going to propose to Kishiar once I organized my thoughts, so it doesn''t really matter if I do it now.''


    Yuder let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.


    "Commander, what do you think about possibly creating a branch of the Cavalry?"


    "A branch?"


    "Yes. I''ve heard that therger knight orders create regional branches. If there were regional branches within the Cavalry, wouldn''t we be able to identify and help those in trouble, like the Star of Nagran we met this time, who had to flee their hometown?"


    He spoke as if it was just an idea, but it was something he had actually done in his previous life.


    In his previous life, Kishiar had left some western-born members behind for cleanup after the western incident was almost settled. Before stepping down from his position as Commander, he had promoted the ce to the first Cavalry branch, which became the prototype for many branches thatter spread like a spider''s web throughout the country.


    The Cavalry''s early possession of national Awakener management, which was the envy of other countries, was due in part to the wless branch system that Kishiar had originally created.


    Perhaps the current Kishiar was already thinking of creating such branches.


    Yuder slowly rubbed his lips and stared at the man''s face, lost in thought.


    Soon, the awaited answer flowed from Kishiar''s mouth.


    "It''s interesting. In fact, I had thought about making something simr since I created the Cavalry. No, originally, I had intended to recruit regionally."


    "Is that so?"


    The fact that even the Assistant didn''t know surprised Kishiar, who wore a bitter yet yful smile.


    "Yes. But I kept running into opposition and couldn''t achieve my goal. Eventually, I had to agree to apromise to establish a small unit in the capital first, show its performance, and then negotiate again. I also couldn''tpletely control the recruitment process."


    "I didn''t know."


    Yuder''s entry exam into the cavalry was a part of that, with Kishiar disguised and apanying as an examiner only in the second round. His face, telling that it wasn''t merely a scheme to observe people morefortably by pretending not to be the Commander, briefly showed some old emotions before they disappeared.


    "But now, we might be able to renegotiate. Originally, I had nned to return to the capital and expedite the second phase of recruitment by initiating regional enlistment, but perhaps, as my assistant suggested, it might be good to establish a branch here first."


    "Is that really so?"


    Kishiar''s decision hade surprisingly quickly, considering that Yuder had thought there would be time to contemte the suggestion. Furthermore, Kishiar even considered moving up the second phase of recruitment. Yuder stammered a question, to which Kishiar nodded.


    "Since we''re discussing this, shall we start immediately tomorrow? It might be far better to create a branch and leave them behind to investigate the ones we''ve arrested here, such as the Star of Nagran and others, instead of taking them to the capital. It''s true for them and us alike. Ah, of course, we must take Hosanna with us."


    "Where do you think we should ce it?"


    "The head of the security management team, the Tainu Knights'' Commander, will be vacating his ce soon. The temporary headquarters are there, so there''s no need to prepare from scratch. It''s perfect. In these matters, being the first is crucial."


    Kishiar said, smiling brightly. Commander Jeymer Phil, who had seen the Cavalry as a thorn in his side for years, was about to be dismissed and stand trial soon. Many of his crimes,mitted under themand of Baron Willhem over the years, had been exposed.


    "It looks good, but... Wouldn’t people in the West be against it?"


    "Thest person I met today was Lord Koelt. When I subtly asked him, he seemed to think that he wouldn''t refuse the return to the family that governs Tainu."


    Public opinion can easily change depending on who''s in charge. While the Willhem family was in power, those who agreed with them prospered, but if the Koelt family took charge, those who had been silent would surelye forward with their opinions.


    "That''s fortunate."


    "It is. If so, we might be able to return sooner than nned..."


    Kishiar, with a joyful face, was about to further exin the n when he suddenly turned his head towards the window. Small birds flying from the darkness tapped on the window with their beaks, announcing their presence.


    "Messages from the capital."


    A man opened the door, and the birds perched on his fingers as he returned. One of the birds was quite familiar to Yuder''s eyes. It was sent from the cavalry.


    After making the birds chirping for water sit near the cup, Kishiar took out the letters. After several steps, he broke the seals and quickly read the content. His face, serene as he read the letter from the Cavalry, changed instantly as he read the second one.


    "Commander?"


    "It appears that we must not merely return sooner, but absolutely must do so."


    "What happened?"


    Kishiar''s eyes, holding the letter in his hand, darkened immeasurably.


    "His Majesty has copsed."
