Chapter 6: The Old Guy Provides Guidance

Two knights were seated in an office of the Order of Knights.

The first was the head of the order, Marcus Virton. He was a knight in the prime of his life, with a well-trained physique that made him seem the very definition of a hardened military man. The other was Aleph Gilbert, the captain of the squad that had headed into the Far-Flung Green Depths on an escort request from the Duke of Solistia.

Marcus had approved the request as a way of providing some experience for knights whom he himself had trained. But the results were beyond what he had expected.

“I read the report, but I can barely believe it. Did you really reach Level 154 in such a short time? What sort of life-threatening situations do you even have to go through to manage something like that? It just sounds...staggering, you know?”

“It’s all as we’ve written in the report. We spent every day fighting deadly monsters. And somehow, we all managed to all make it out with our lives.”

“Goblins and orcs are one thing, but... Ogres? Trolls? Chimeras? Man-eaters? Aleph, I’m amazed you made it back alive.”

“It...wasn’t easy. We had to kill if we didn’t want to be devoured. Our lives were constantly on the line—in more ways than one, mind you...”

Aleph’s eyes went distant for a moment.

Still in disbelief, Marcus continued to scan through the report.

“So you had your food stolen on your second day, hmm? And had to spend the rest of your time there surviving off the wilderness? I’m amazed you survived, really. It sounds like I was close to losing an excellent talent.”

“It was all because of the good knights under my command. I don’t believe I’m all that strong as an individual.”

Securing food was difficult in the Far-Flung Green Depths. For example, even if you just wanted meat, there were a lot of creatures that weren’t fit to eat—especially trolls and chimeras. So Aleph’s matter-of-fact answers about such grueling situations left Marcus unable to hide his amazement. It had only been a matter of days, but Aleph looked so fierce now that he was barely recognizable as the same man he’d been before.

What do you even have to go through to get like that? He’s a changed man, that much is obvious...

Aleph’s whole body gave off an impressive aura. He had enough gravitas about him to intimidate his foes, almost like a wild animal, all while maintaining his ability to reason—and the sight left Marcus trembling in a mix of shock and pride.

After all, it was Marcus who had trained Aleph up. He had been an excellent student to begin with, but now, he had come back from the journey looking even stronger than Marcus had expected. It had Marcus feeling overjoyed, like a parent seeing their child grow up before their eyes.

But as he flicked through the knights’ report, he came across a line that was enough to make him splutter. He’d reached the section about the party’s battle with the red greed battlewolf.
