When Axel was walking alone after he and Alicia separated in the middle of the road, he saw the figure of a gray-haired man leaning back as if he was waiting for him.
"It seems my intuition was right about you, courier," said the man in a calm but authoritative voice.
Axel stopped a few steps in front of him, eyes full of vigilance. "What does the guild master of 'Crimson Blade' need from me?" he asked.
Felix, the guild master of 'Crimson Blade', smiled faintly, as if enjoying the tension flowing between them. "I've researched a lot about you, Axel. The rapid increase in your abilities and also the strangeness of your status are not suitable for a level 1 person."
Axel stared intently at Felix, his heart pounding. "What do you mean?" he asked, trying to keep his voice calm.
