Chapter 5 - Subjugation mission

After learning that he doesn't have a body that can withstand body reconstruction right now. He waits until later in the afternoon before heading to his father's office. "Greetings father" Aldwin said.

His father Albert happy to see his son replied, "Ah, Aldwin, I heard you were training with the sword earlier today, how was that?"

"Father that's what I wanted to talk to you about" Aldwin answered with a serious face. Albert, thinking that his son wishes to give up on practicing the sword, sighs with a disappointing face "alright I understand if you don't wish to practice the sword anymore, I won't force it upon you."

Aldwin quickly replies with "no, no that's not it, quite the opposite actually, it's just that I would like to raise the intensity of the training. The vice-captain has been going easy on me, and even if I tell him to increase the intensity he won't listen". "oh, ok I understand but why do you want to increase the intensity so suddenly, you only started a year ago".

Aldwin replied, "Because I want to strengthen my physique".Albert was happy to hear him say that. I'll speak to the vice-captain if that's what you want."

"Thank you, father," Alwin said with a smile on his face.

Aldwin then left his father's office.

After Aldwin left, Albert summoned someone and a shadow-like figure appeared at his side. 'You heard all that? The boy wants to increase his training. I'm proud of him."

The shadow-like figure is then revealed to be the knight's head commander.

"The young master is an exceptional talent, truly once in a century. Most noble kids his age would avoid sword training, yet he wants to intensify it. Brilliant! HA HA HA" said the knight commander

The next day early in the morning Aldwin had already woken up and left to meet with the vice-captain to talk about what he and his father had previously discussed.

" Aldwin, I heard that you want to increase the intensity of our training, are you sure?" "Yes, I want to grow stronger," said Aldwin with a determined face. With a smile on his face, the vice-captain started the training.

7 months later.

"Ludwin you've been coming to training for the past 7 months without a day's rest. I'm proud of you." says the vice-captain. "Thank you, sir," responded Aldwin".

In the last week before the completion of Aldwin's training, there were reports of orc sightings near a village in the Revigo territory. This was followed by a request to find and eliminate them. As soon as Aldwin hears of this news, he asks his father for permission to ride with the knights to participate in the subjugation and test out his training.

Aldwin's father, Albert Revigo, is discussing with his council members who should be sent to eliminate the orcs in the council meeting room. The council of the lord of Revigo territory includes the finance minister, the head commander of the knights, a lawmaker and interpreter, the advisor of the lord and the young lord of the Revigo territory when they turn 15 and in special cases an expert of problem they have would be summoned for example in a farming problem, they would invite a good farmer or if the problem is market related they would invite a good merchant to give advice. As they were about to pick someone to go to, Aldwin walks into the meeting room and interrupts the meeting.

" Greetings father and council men" Albert looks at Aldwin sternly and asks, "Aldwin, for what reason have you interrupted the meeting?"

Aldwin answers "Father I'd like to go on the subjugation mission with the knights". All those in the room disapproved of the 9-year-old's request to fight orcs, the monstrous orcs whose strength ranges from 2 stars to 4 stars.

The room is stunned by what Aldwin just said. "Absolutely not your only 9 nine years old and my heir. I am not putting you in that sort of danger," Albert replied. At the same time, several council members nod in agreement.

"Father I've already reached the peak of 1 star, and the stimulation of battle is all I need to make the leap to 2 stars, I don't want to miss this chance" the room is shocked by what Aldwin just said. A nine-year-old boy managed to achieve the peak of 1 star after a year and a half of training and is one step away from 2 stars.

"You've reached the peak of a 1-star warrior?" Albert asked hesitantly.

"Yes," Aldwin responded.

I'll leave without your knowledge regardless of whether you let me leave or not," he said with a smile. Albert sighs and looks at the head knight for advice. Head knight Joshua Desenger says, "I think it would be beneficial for the young master to gain some experience of real battle, and if he manages to reach 2-star, it wouldn't be a disadvantage for us."

Albert feeling defeated finally agrees to his son's requests.

4 days later after all preparations are completed the subjugation team sets out.
