Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

"How do I feel like his power surpasses even that of Battista from Rock Team, wielding the Warhammer?"

"Indeed! It seems to be even stronger! I remember quite clearly, last time when Battista gave it his all, it seemed to only reach 45 degrees," the Sword Bearer recalled soberly.

"....."

The young man initially thought the rumors were somewhat exaggerated, but it turned out they had understated it.

Damn, even two Obsidian Giants wouldn't withstand a single blow!

Barbarian Scolda was a bit dazed at this moment, realizing that all his assumptions were wrong!

What no secret technique!

This is damn well an Advanced Secret Skill!

If it weren't an Advanced Secret Skill, he wouldn't believe in his death that an attack could reach this level!

No wonder Olena, Deputy Minister of the Mission Hall, and Minister Yumaz placed so much importance on this young man...

They couldn't help but take it seriously!

Power dictates!

Seeing that Rein had finished his test, many Sword Bearers came forward to greet him, all with smiles.

For a talent like Rein, no, already a proven talent!

Any normal person would think of making friends with him, Sword Bearers were no exception.

The enthusiasm of the old Sword Bearers came as a bit of a surprise to Rein.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

After some pleasantries, Rein did learn quite a bit of common knowledge.

This knowledge was supposed to be introduced to his group of newcomers in this month's general knowledge classes by the instructor, but due to the sudden province-wide attack, the original plans at the Sword Bearers Branch had been disrupted.

"Lord Reine, a degree is a unit of measurement. Simply put, a trained, robust human soldier's full strike equates to one degree of attack power,"

"Generally speaking, a formal Knight's attack power ranges from 5 to 15 degrees, while a Great Knight typically ranges from 15 to 30 degrees." The young man who had previously been scornful of Rein, now stood next to Barbarian Scolda, smiling warmly as he introduced this information.

Rein nodded, then suddenly a question occurred to him, so he asked, "And what about Wizards? Is there a measure for their attack power as well?"

"Of course, but the attack power of formal Wizards varies greatly. Generally, a first-level attack using wizardry can reach over thirty degrees."

However, after thinking for a moment, the young man added:

"But often times, the methods of a Wizard's attack are rather peculiar and diverse, such as curses, channeling-type witchcraft etc., so if we talk about instantaneous attack power, it's frankly not very strong, but it is very difficult to counter."

After hearing this, Rein nodded again, indeed that was the case.

About this, he had deep feelings.

"Lord Reine, you're a Meister, right? Recently, our squad just returned from a mission in Meister County, and this time, the losses there were heavy," a Sword Bearer, presumably recognizing Rein from his nickname, chatted up.

"It is indeed. I went to Flashgold Town, and it was truly awful, almost no one survived!"

"What!" Rein stiffened, exclaiming in disbelief.

Almost no survivors?

He had always thought that the attack Flashgold Town suffered was on the scale of the last attack by the Black Flame Cult, where a death toll of over a hundred was already extreme.

Now, hearing this Sword Bearer's tone, it seemed much worse!

Originally, he had planned to visit Flashgold Town in a few days to check on things, and also to visit the injured Count Habbs in the County Town.

In an instant, familiar and vivid faces in Flashgold Town flashed through Rein's mind like a slideshow— his best friend George, Sheriff Hamilton, the Night Watchman's old captain Weilun, Aunt Sima...

"Lord Reine, do you know people in Flashgold Town?" Seeing Rein's shocked expression, a nearby Sword Bearer asked with concern.

Although they knew Rein was from Meister County, they did not know he was specifically from Flashgold Town.

Rein regained his composure, looked pale, and nodded, looking around, and said to everyone:

"Sorry, everyone, we'll talk another time."

"Of course, Lord Reine."

"It seems Lord Reine must have family in Flashgold Town," many murmured as they watched Rein quickly leave.

....

Soon, Rein returned to his room, took his Skull Warhammer, and hurried toward the Sword Bearers Branch's main gate. He planned to go to the villa recently purchased by Jenny nearby.

He had just thought of his family.

Although there were elite Cavalry guards sent by Javier, thinking of the recent calamity in Flashgold Town made Rein feel it wasn't safe enough; he decided to go and fetch his family himself.

As fate would have it, just as Rein was leaving the main gate of the Sword Bearers Branch, a familiar figure hurried over—it was the short Matteo.

This made Rein's heart skip a beat.

Could it be...

"Lord Reine, your parents, sister, and Lady Baroness Crawley have just arrived in Mingster," Matteo, also seeing Rein exiting the gate, couldn't help but brighten up and quickly approached him.

Hearing this news, Rein immediately felt a wave of relief.

"Hmm, we'll head there right away. By the way, Matteo, has Miss Jenny found a new residence?" Rein asked as they walked.

This matter was something he had arranged with Jenny before he last left Mingster.

"No, Miss Jenny and Miss Agatha have been looking around these past few days but haven't found a suitable residence. I heard that recently, many rich merchants and nobles from other counties have been flocking to Mingster, and they're all scrambling to buy properties here."
