Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

"How could such a good thing possibly happen to me? You know, the selection of family heads is not based on gender, which means that most family heads are basically the best ones in the family. This leads to everyone assuming that the family head is half a level higher than those who are not family heads.

In this case, the remaining offspring will decide whether to marry into the family or marry a wife, and whether to live-in or marry someone else's wife based on the power of the two parties to the marriage and the situation of their own offspring.

As for the nobles, everyone who understands knows that except for the position of the head of the family, where talent is really the key to selecting people, the other positions are either based on background, money, or something else.

In terms of offspring from an alliance, the party with a superior family background basically has the first choice. After all, for a family, an alliance is a good thing, as long as you can achieve the purpose of the marriage and serve as a bond between the two forces, it really makes no difference who marries whom.

As the one with a lower family background, you naturally have less say in the other family, and sometimes no one even knows when you die.

The top noble classes are all the same, so it is naturally impossible for them to marry into their wives' family or live with their wives' parents. They basically just get married normally. In this case, the outstanding ones will be reserved quickly, and some will even be engaged to them when they are young.

The group in the middle just picked each other and got together with those they liked.

But there is still a group of the worst ones left. They either have problems with their character or reputation. They are really ugly or no one wants them. What should we do at this time? "

"Yes, what should we do?"

Setsuna Himeragi was gradually attracted by Sid's words and couldn't help but repeat a sentence, which made Sid look at her strangely.

"Yes, they are recruiting people. Of course, it cannot be nobles of the same level as them. They can only be nobles of a lower level than them. Of course, the lower nobles will not miss this opportunity to deepen their relationship with the higher nobles.

So don’t expect that the girl I’ll go on a blind date with will be a beauty. Most good-looking girls are already taken. After all, if talent isn’t considered, then appearance will be the only thing to look at.

My sister doesn't have to worry. Not to mention that she is the head of the family, with her talent, even if she is not, there will be a bunch of top nobles rushing to marry into the family.

I am different. I am neither high nor low, and there is a high probability that I will marry into a family. Then I cannot be sure what kind of person I will date, so I want to start my own business."

Most of the above are true, and some are false. For Sid, if a superior noble really asked him to marry into the family, Claire would probably not be the first one to disagree.

Although she didn't want to say this, in Claire's eyes, how could a bunch of ugly people be worthy of her excellent brother? So where did Claire's mysterious confidence come from?

Even if Claire really agreed, if he didn't like him, he could just ask Gama for help.

Of course, he didn't want Gama to marry him. He was quite self-aware. He wanted Gama to send someone down to deal with the matter. With the support of Mitsukoshi Chamber of Commerce, which noble would dare not give him face?

"The world of the nobility is so complicated."

Himeragi Setsuna, who was walking next to Sid, sighed.

She was so naive that she actually believed it.

Of course, Sid's reason for coming here couldn't be to get away from his family. He just felt that there should be many high-quality protagonists here, which were very suitable for the appearance of the powerful shadow master.

As for why he lied, it was just a random dream. Anyway, his sister is the future head of the family, and with his apparent talent, this dream is impossible to achieve. Doesn't it feel like a supporting role to have a dream and be defeated by reality in the end?

"It's okay. After all, everything I have now is basically given to me by my family. Let's not talk about me. I've told you so much. Let's talk about you. Otherwise, I'll be at a loss. Why did you come here?"

"Um... well, my family asked me to come here."

Her eyes unconsciously looked to the right and her speech began to stutter, the unexpressible meaning on her face almost overflowing.

"Won't your family tell you?"

Sid could tell what was going on at a glance. He originally thought that this was another person sent by his family to join the social circle, but now it seemed that there was something else going on. However, he decided to pretend that he hadn't noticed.

"Hey! Uh-huh."

"Okay, then tell me whether you want to be a retainer or a king. I'll give you some reference. I'm not bragging, but I do have some information channels in school."

This is not Sid bragging. He has Asagi Aoi as his information channel tool, and there is really little information in the entire school that can be hidden from him.

Considering that he was wrong this time, he will help Himeragi Setsuna whether she wants to be a retainer or a king.

"Family? King? What is that?"

Just when Sid was full of confidence, Himeragi Setsuna's words seemed to hit him hard, and he staggered and almost fell.

"You do not know?"

"Should I know?"

After standing firmly, Sid turned his head to look at Himerahira Setsuna, and seeing the pair of eyes full of doubt, Sid was sure that Himerahira Setsuna really didn't know why her family sent her to the semi-aristocratic school of Saikai.

"You can think of the relationship between dependents and the king as the marriage I just mentioned. The king is the one with a better family background, and dependents are just the son-in-law in a different name, except that family background is replaced by personal strength. After all, this world still respects strength. Without strength, no matter how great the reputation is, it is unworthy of the position.

So your family sent you here without even telling you this?"

"This, this."

The sides of Himeragi Setsuna's cheeks turned completely red, and her eyes swayed from side to side.

Wow, what kind of weirdos are your parents? They don’t really think of the Caihai School as an ordinary school for magic swordsmen. What on earth do they want you to do here? The students are either the descendants of major forces or real civilian geniuses. Do you really think this is for learning?

"Forget it. I still have your evaluation from the entrance exam. Let me take a look at it for you first."

"Okay, thank you, senior."

Himeragi Setsuna said this and took out a piece of paper with something written on it from her backpack.

Sid took it, glanced at it, and then looked at Himeragi Setsuna with a very strange look.

"Senior, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with my evaluation?"

"No, it's fine. In fact, not only is it fine, it even says you're strong."

Sid withdrew his gaze from Himerahira Setsuna.

"Huh, that's good."

No, not at all. It's too weird. How come with your A- strength, your faction didn't even give you a set of chess pieces? You're only in the first year of high school this year.

It doesn't mean that A- can definitely get the chess piece, but those who can reach A- at this age as a human being are basically the treasures and the apple of the eye of all major forces. In this case, are you serious about competing with some civilians for chess pieces?

The more Sid thought about it, the more strange it seemed. He couldn't help but go over the information he had obtained in his mind again.

He was sent to a semi-aristocratic school without any intelligence. He was very talented, but the faction he belonged to didn't give him a set of chess pieces. He was naive and easy to deceive...

Looking up and glancing at Himeragi Setsuna, Sid couldn't help but think of a possibility.

Could it be that Setsuna Himeragi had already been reserved as a dependent by someone else, so she was sent out by the force she belonged to?

No, no, no, this is too ridiculous no matter how you think about it. Which force is so rich to give such a talented disciple to someone else as a dependent.

Sid shook his head, trying to get rid of the thought from his mind, but suddenly stopped.

Himeragi Yukina, who was standing next to her, saw her senior stop and just opened her mouth to ask something when a loud explosion from a distance interrupted her action.

"boom!!!"

Noticing the voice, the silly look on Himeragi Setsuna's face changed, revealing a warrior's expression, looking radiant and beautiful.

"That is the breath of magic! (whispering)"

"Senior, I have something to take care of right now. Please give me the student ID tomorrow."

After saying that, without waiting for Sid's answer, he put his guitar case on his back and ran towards the explosion.

"Eh…"

Sid pretended to stretch out his hand to express his surprise, but in fact he was mentally reviewing the information that Himeragi Setsuna had inadvertently revealed just now.

That magic seemed to be the magic of surveillance that I felt at Gu Cheng’s house a few days ago. Was it someone from Gu Cheng?

Chapter 27 A World Covered in Spider Webs

Himeragi Setsuna felt that she was very unlucky, extremely unlucky.

When he was a child, his parents bought him to be used in a blood sacrifice ceremony by a cultist. Later, he was rescued and taken to the Lion King Organization to be trained as a sword wizard. After he had learned a lot, he was called by the top "Three Saints" of the Lion King Organization to carry out a mission that looked bad. The mission was to monitor the fourth true ancestor, Akatsuki Kojou, and if he had any idea of ​​endangering the world, he would be killed...

I won’t tell you what she was thinking when she received this mission. After arriving at Genkami Island, she immediately went to the place that the Lion King Agency arranged for her to live in, next door to Akatsuki Kojou’s house…

At home she found the activity funds given to her by the Lion King Organization and a notice of admission to the first year of high school.

Well...that makes sense, that's what she thought at first.

The next day, I followed behind Akatsuki Kojo, intending to monitor him and at the same time find the way to school through him. After all, the monitor and the monitored should be from the same school...

Until she discovered that the route that Akatsuki Kojo took was different from the one she saw on the map…

She panicked and hurriedly followed the map, even using her spiritual power to get to Caihai School before class. She met her teacher in the office... a loli?

Under the guidance of the teacher, she went to the classroom and introduced herself at the podium. Luckily, she made some new friends. One of them, Nagisa Akane, was a chatterbox but very friendly to her and took the initiative to introduce her to other people.

Since they were not in the same school, there was no way he could monitor Akatsuki Kojo at noon. He could only deal with his classmates who became enthusiastic for some reason after the practical class, while hurrying to eat.

After school, she didn't even have time to say hello to Akatsuki Nagisa before using her spiritual power to rush to Akatsuki Kojou's school.

Fortunately, it seemed that something happened. When she rushed to Akatsuki Kojou's school, Akatsuki Kojou didn't leave immediately because of something. She was finally able to start her surveillance mission. Tears welled up in her eyes...

But while she was tracking, a question suddenly popped up in her mind: she was not good at tracking.

In the Lion King Agency, she is the sword wizard, not Wu Weiyuan. Wu Weiyuan is the one who is good at tracking, so can she track Akatsuki Kojo successfully?

Oh, don’t think about this question, because she has lost her, Le.

But at this moment, two demon thugs came up to tease her. She would have endured it if they just slapped her, but they also wanted to take action. How could she endure it?

Without even touching her, she slapped her to the ground. The matter would have ended there, but they actually dared to summon their beasts to kill her. How dare they? Don't they know that she is from the Lion King Agency?

The natural ending was that the two demon thugs were beaten up by her. As for whether it would affect her, she was not worried. Not to mention that the other side took the first move, the Lion King Agency was also an official organization, so nothing would happen to her.

Originally, beating up the two hooligans was not a good thing, but it could also help her vent the depression she had felt since arriving at Genshin Island, until she touched her pocket and found it was empty...

She seemed to have lost her wallet, which contained all her funds for activities, including her meal money...

She calculated that there were still six days before the next time the Lion King Agency would distribute operational funds.

Well, it’s decided. I won’t report this to the Lion King Agency. After all, it’s too embarrassing. Anyway, with her physical fitness and spiritual power, it will be no problem for her to hold on for six days.

Theoretically, let alone six days, even more than ten days would not be a problem, and there is no need to track her personally. There are two schools between us, and no matter how fast she is, it is impossible to monitor her closely. Just use a shikigami instead, and think of other ways if you are discovered.

So she spent Saturday and Sunday at home controlling the shikigami to monitor Akatsuki Kojo for two days. After two days of observation, how can I put it...

Is there something wrong with the Lion King Agency’s intelligence?

Are you sure this is the fourth true ancestor?

She, a sword wizard who is totally incompetent at surveillance, didn't even notice the shikigami released by her. Are you sure this is an ambitious person who wants to secretly establish the Akatsuki Empire?

When she went to school on Monday, she discovered something she had missed, it seemed that she was attending a magic school similar to the one that trained sword wizards in the Lion King Agency, which meant that there would be practical courses.

By the evening of that day, no matter how she tried to save it, the spiritual energy she used to maintain her body movement was successfully used up. The spiritual energy that could last for two weeks was not even enough to maintain the circulation after a day of actual combat.

Just when she was about to faint from hunger on the street, her luck may have finally improved a little, and she met a kind senior who invited her to dinner.

After finishing her meal, she was about to introduce herself to Sid Senior, but he called her by her name. At that time, she really wondered if she had been discovered and targeted.

Fortunately, it was a misunderstanding, because Sid senior was the one who picked up her wallet. He just became greedy and wanted to take her wallet. Later, when he saw that she almost fainted from hunger, he felt guilty and invited her to dinner, apologized to her and returned the wallet to her.

Well, even though Sid-senpai has always said that he is a bad guy, she thinks that Sid-senpai is actually a good guy.

After all, how could someone who, because of the reproach of his conscience, takes out the money he has already swallowed and says he is willing to accept any compensation be a bad person?

Naturally, she became good friends with senior Sid. This may be one of the few pieces of news she received after arriving at Xian Kami Island.

Later, during a chat with senior Sid, she discovered something wrong.

According to Sid, most, if not all, of the students who attend Caihai School come here to form a relationship similar to a marriage, called the king and his dependents. It is a semi-aristocratic school.

There is nothing wrong with that, there are aristocratic schools everywhere, the question is why does she want to go to this school?

She is a sword wizard from the Lion King Agency, and was sent to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor. Why was the school she was assigned to be an aristocratic school?

Since it's surveillance, shouldn't she be assigned to the school where Akatsuki Kojou is?

What does it mean to arrange her to an aristocratic school?

When she received this task, she had a bad feeling, and after chatting with her seniors, this premonition became even stronger.

When you think something is wrong, you will think it is wrong no matter how you look at it.

She hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now after Sid's reminder, questions came to her mind one after another.

Why does she, a sword wizard, need to monitor? Shouldn't this job be given to Wu Weiyuan?

She is asked to be a sword wizard and monitor the Fourth True Ancestor. They don't even go to the same school. Is she really the one being asked to monitor?

She has never done surveillance work and doesn't understand this industry, but no matter what, she should be given a copy of Akatsuki Kojo's information.

Everything she knew about Akatsuki Kojou now came from the Three Saints in the Lion King Organization. At the beginning, she only heard from the Three Saints that Akatsuki Kojou concealed his identity in order to secretly control Gengami Island and form a legion. She knew nothing else.

The more I think about it, the more problems I feel. They asked her to monitor the Fourth True Ancestor but arranged her to go to an aristocratic school without giving her any information, the major is not suitable, etc. It's suspicious, too suspicious.

Of course, these issues are not important now. What is important is whether we can defeat the opponent.

"clang--"

In a sea of ​​fire, a silver spear and a giant axe collided in the air with a harsh sound, and separated after a short stalemate.
