If someone derived their knowledge about the warfare from the great historical accords, then he or she would be utterly disappointed with how it really looked. Even though the relatively small scale of the local conflict prevented most of the normal issues from growing out of the scope that humans could handle, just by looking attentively enough one could already spot those problems. Thankfully, Fen could observe this sorry situation form the position of the absolutely most elite unit that handled its own…-

***Three months later*** "Hey, newbie! Bring us some beer!" Sitting in a small circle around a campfire, Victor shouted at a random passing soldier. Even though they had absolutely no official authority over the private forces of the noble, just their authority as the better soldiers was enough to let them command absolute obedience in the camp. Even if it was used mostly to push the former farmers turned soldiers around with mundane tasks like bringing something or cleaning the camp. "So, what's the…

"How do I say it…" To say that Fen was hesitant to reveal everything about his unusual catalyst would be a great understatement. Given how Nadia clarified to him perfectly well how a normal catalyst was supposed to look like in her book, Fen had no doubts that once again, there was something special about him. "Fen, listen. If you are looking to join a proper mercenary group, you can't hide your strengths. This is not a school party you are entering to have fun and hook with the bitches up, but a group…

"This fucker…" Only with his greatest efforts did Fen manage to stop Nadia from rushing off from the party in order to punish the mercenary for his schemes. Maybe it was the alcohol that everyone in the room already consumed or her natural attitude, but as soon as she learned about the details of what Fen came through, Nadia seemed to take it personally. "It's okay. I already dealt with all the problems related to this matter, so there is no point in getting excited about it. More…

A slight nod of both the father and the daughter's heads served for a quick answer. "Her body… Her constitution is a faulty combination of both Draconis and Phoenixian arcana." Shifting the citation in front of him a bit, Fen removed all the added parts of the bowl, allowing the fire that filled the former upper part of the item to overflow on the table. Sucking it back into his own body before it could actually ignite the wood of the furniture, Fen looked at Cleo with pity in his eyes. "Your body…

In one moment, the atmosphere in the room turned so tense that it basically asked for someone to pull out a knife and start cutting it into pieces. With his eyes still locked on the girl, Fen's pupils lost their focus. While noticing that his sight was directed towards the girl was easy, deciding at which exactly part of her he was looking for was already a task that reached the limits of what was possible. "NO FUCKING W…" "FATHER! Stop!" Budging a bit when her father rose up from his chair and…

"We will leave." Bartel's face darkened when he realised that the situation was greatly different to what he expected. After all, he was the one to mention just who the owner of this house was and the mercenary already stated who he would side with if any conflict were to appear. "Wait, what? Bartel, didn't you promise…" For the very first time since he sat down within the house, Fen's eyes regained some of their usual energy. Watching as the bitch that betrayed him couldn't believe that her scheme…

At first, Fen simply froze with his hand already on the handle of the doors. There was no mistaking it. The moans that he heard were clearly of Arla's making. As for who was the one that accompanied her in this duet of voices, Fen had no idea. 'Fuck it…' In the end, the young man knew that standing right outside the doors like that wouldn't change anything. Either way, he was supposed to wait for the mercenary in this house so he couldn't be shaken by the fact that all Arla's words about how loyal…

"Keep moving." Fen's former landlord had no other choice but to listen to the young man's commands. Since he wanted to deal with this matter in a nice way, then moving a few steps ahead of Fen was the only rational way in which the young arcanist would allow them to travel. Thanks to this kind of positioning, Fen could at least be sure that in case of any… unexpected encounters with the third party of the veteran's companions suddenly appearing, he would at least be able to claim this bastard's life…

The flight through the night sky was truly an exhilarating feeling. Shielding himself from the cold with his fires, Fen was quite sure that if not for the urging matter of reporting the scam quest, he would rather remain in the skies for the next few days. Soaring through the skies gave the young man a strange feeling of freedom. Leaving all the mundane and bothersome matters far below allowed the young arcanist to finally have some time to himself. With just the right amount of cold air splashing against…
