A Girl Who Was Told “You Have No Talent” Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster

Litty was capable enough to force Duggam to use a series of Explosive Strike against her.
Even if Duggam did not give her the title, she was fine with it and ready to move forward.
Moreover, she was not only thinking of herself, but even of others.

 

“Hey, you cheeky… to say all that…” (Duggam)

 

“I’m just an adventurer.
By the way, Duggam-san is fine the way he is.” (Litty)

 

“That’s right.” (Aida)

 

Aida nodded to Litty.
The apprentices followed, and they, too, expressed their feelings as before.

 

Aida and the rest of the apprentices were still hanging in there, not quitting.
The reasons for their persistence varied, but they all agreed that they had no distrust of Duggam.

 

“I’m only Rank 6, but I’ll do what I can do.”

 

“Same for me.”

 

All of them ranked lower than Litty, but their abilities had been steadily improving.
They realized it as well.

 

Seeing them like this, Duggam couldn’t hold back the tears that were pouring out like rain.

 

“You fools… you’re just a bunch of chicks…” (Duggam)

 

“I’ll do whatever it takes to get you to acknowledge me.
By then, I should be able to reach Rank 3 as well!”

 

“I’m not going to be nice to you… I’m the same as I’ve always been!” (Duggam)

 

Duggam wiped away his tears and then faced the apprentices again.
He stood with his fists clenched, his hands raised in the air, his motivation high, as Litty and the other apprentices struck the same pose.

 

“Let’s resume our kumite! Who’s first?” (Duggam)

 

“I’ll go first!”

 

“No, it’s me!”

 

“No, it’s me!”

 

“Let’s do this again!”

 

“Litty, you’re done now, join later!”

 

Duggam showed the same strictness to the apprentices who volunteered to be the first to go.
However, he could not help but smile as they showed more enthusiasm.

“…So, it’s only a matter of time before we get that property…”

 

“Is that so…”

 

A man wearing a thin revealing gown sat on a bed, greeting Baider who was kneeling beside him.
The man smirked as he looked across at the sleeping lady.

 

“I’ve always wanted that place, but the crumbling guild was an eyesore.”

 

“We knights will have a hard time if adventurers’ guild headquarters starts breathing down our necks.
If it were not for that, we would have been able to force our way through everything.”

 

“Yeah.
But since that guild is now worthless, the Adventurers’ Guild will most likely ignore it…”

 

The man stood up, tapping his chest.
Baider, sensing this, refilled the glass of wine on the table for the man.

 

“Well done, Baider.”

 

“So, about the honorary position of Real…”

 

“I’ll think about it.”

 

“I’m grateful for that!”

 

Baider suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.
Among the prestigious Royal Order of Knights, the Amphisbaena Corps played a role similar to that of a vigilante squadron, which was only assigned to the area around the royal capital.

 

There were many reasons for him and his group being treated like this, but Baider’s immorality was the primary one.
The funds allocated to them were reduced year by year, and they were subjected to increasingly harsh criticism.

 

Baider decided to resolve these problems by acquiring the honorary position of Real.
For that, he was more than willing to flatter this powerful man.

 

“If I become an honorary Real, I’ll be more than just a figurehead within the Order of the Knights.
Thus, I will be more useful to you.”

 

“Just work hard to the best of your ability.”

 

“Yes!”

 

Baider had another plan in mind.
He wanted revenge on Ilysis for defeating him in the intercompany tournament held in the castle.

 

The thought of a future in which he could avenge the humiliation of being disgraced in front of all those people made Baider’s spirits soar.
In his mind, Illysis was already a pile of mess.
