Chapter 10 | The Assassin Learns of His Toughest Target Yet

We went to the Class S dorm and walked to the top floor, where the upperclassmen lived. I instructed Dia and Tarte to go to our apartment.

There’s too much about this situation I don’t like.

If I decided this was a job I shouldn’t accept, it would be better for Dia and Tarte if they were kept ignorant of the details. House Romalung was delivering this job directly, and if I refused, they might decide to remove anyone who knew too much.

I entered Nevan’s apartment. Its layout was identical to mine, but the interior put her tastes and sophisticated sense of aesthetics on full display.

“This room suits you well, Nevan,” I remarked.

“Is that a compliment?” she asked.

“Yes. It has all the elegance of a noble lady.”

Her quarters were decorated with beautiful furnishings and bright, showy colors. It could easily have come off as coarse, but that wasn’t the case. The room had a refined beauty and a clear feminine charm. Dia and Maha also possessed elite senses for beauty, but Dia was much more interested in collecting magic-related items, and Maha prioritized functionality over femininity.

I hadn’t had the chance to view many chambers like this one. If I had to make a comparison, I would’ve likened it to Mina’s estate.

“Your praise honors me,” Nevan responded. “Farron, bring us tea and sweets.”

“Yes, Lady Nevan.”

A tall female servant Nevan brought to the academy waited upon us both. A wonderful aroma rose from the tea she poured.

“That’s a nice scent. I don’t believe I’ve ever had this kind of tea before,” I said.

I was confident in my knowledge of tea leaves because of my efforts selling them at Natural You, but I had never encountered this smell before.

“It’s a tea leaf we procured from overseas. Natural You does not have exclusivity over international deals. Whoever controls the ocean controls business—we’ve been working on transoceanic travel for over a century with that belief in mind. We have built ships that can survive monsters and storms alike, and we have sacrificed many to find safe routes of passage,” Nevan explained.

House Romalung produced the greatest humanity had to offer. It wasn’t surprising that they would have that level of technology. It was also impressive that they had the foresight to know that trade would become the main battlefield of business.

“House Romalung continues to impress.”

“There is one thing I just can’t accept, however.”

“What’s that?”

“Natural You’s boats. I believed the vessels that House Romalung spent decades building were the greatest in the world. They are made of steel rather than wood, to protect them from the monsters of the ocean, and they are mana-powered, enabling them to move at high speeds without relying on the wind. They’re perfect.”

They had made steel boats in a world of magic. That was a true breakthrough in technology.

“Then a simple merchant named Illig Balor comes along and constructs ships with the same concept but a superior design in a minuscule amount of time.
