127 – Paraden (4:50 am, last content added)
The Great Council, made up of 8 families, exists for the preservation of peace on the continent.
Paraden belonged to such a great council and moved for the cause of peace on the continent.
Paraden was not restricted by anyone in his activities.
Even if it’s a grand family, it’s no exception.
In other words, from a certain point of view, Paraden can be seen as having power equal to or greater than that of the great family on the continent.
The way to become a member of such Paraden is extremely difficult.
First, I had to be recommended by people from the Great Council, including Paraden, to be judged.
The judgment was made by the distorted eyes of the nine members of the Great Council, the head of the great family, and the monster called the captain of Paraden.
Being a member of Paraden was evaluated as being as difficult as, or even more difficult than, entering the knights of the great family.
to sum it up.
Paraden was a symbol of continental peace.
In certain cases, the right not to be infringed by the head family is guaranteed.
It is an ultra-elite group that surpasses the knights of the great family made up of the continent’s most talented people.
It was only natural for Paraden’s crew to feel stiff in their shoulders and stiff necks.
***
For that reason, most members of Paraden took great pride in their affiliation.
This was also the case for Magan Felix, a member of Paraden who infiltrated the black cup under the false identity of Iron Boots Max.
“…”
Margan was in a very bad mood right now.
The intervention of the hound hindered his activities.
Paraden obtained information that an assassin with a position of direct master or higher in Harashin was active in the criminal organization Black Cup.
In response, member 13, Magan, infiltrated the black cup.
Magan received Paraden’s full support and built trust inside the Black Cup.
Like that, it was only a few days ago that he was finally reborn as an executive within the organization.
Margun had the fruits of her efforts before her eyes.
With the mind of a farmer who has finished farming, he is ready to harvest his crops.
However, hounds suddenly broke into the field and ripped up the field.
Edgar, the head of the Black Cup.
He was at the bottom of Magan’s list.
Could it be that an entity higher than the direct master is acting as the head of a criminal organization rather than anyone else?
Unless you’re out of your mind, you wouldn’t do such a drastic thing.
Unless it was eight arms with out-of-standard power.
But in case you didn’t know, it was something I was paying close attention to…
Edgar was killed by a hound.
According to Paraden’s information, the hounds were a group that had no interest in revenge other than Harasin.
There was no way they would kill Edgar for no reason.
‘sh*t.’
It was an embarrassing situation for Magan.
What if Edgar was Harathin’s assassin that Paraden was tracking?
Then Margan would have worked in vain for the past few months.
As a member of Paraden, he worked with full support from Paraden.
However, compared to Paraden, they were left behind by the hounds, a group of children’s playhouse.
‘It’s a dog-like situation.’
If this is known to Paraden, Paraden will truly trust Magan.
It was clear that I would have to say goodbye to the number 13 spot I had barely earned.
Magan thought to that.
He had to somehow put a spoon on the table set by the hound and keep his position in the paraden.
After coaxing the hounds and cooperating with them, he submits a report stating that he expelled Hara’s direct master.
That was the best choice Magan could make now.
To become a member of Paraden and to cling to outsiders.
It was even more embarrassing.
‘still…’
fortunately that is.
That outsider was an iron-walled Cynia.
Sinia entered the realm of heroes by achieving 7 stars at a relatively young age, and was an outstanding talent who was appointed as an academy instructor.
‘Sinia is enough to admit it.’
Margan seemed to be able to acknowledge her.
Magan wanted to talk to Sinaia at least to preserve her pride.
It was for that reason that he revealed the name of Paraden.
“As for what happened-“
“The kid is missing.”
But why, isn’t it the dumbfounded kid with his eyes wide open?
Margan cried once here.
I’m sure Paraden’s name was revealed, but I couldn’t understand the situation, and I couldn’t understand the situation.
“Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that?”
And the ensuing reaction made Magan cry once more.
Isn’t the hound dog silent in spite of the kid’s mistake?
That’s paraden, paraden!
While revealing Paraden’s name, he demanded a conversation.
It was only right that the head of the city, Sinia, should start a conversation as a proper example.
However, a stupid kid without any sense – the end intervened.
From noble mtl dot com
This was an obvious disrespect of the hound.
The hound had to apologize to Paraden while urging the dog.
But they were only looking at themselves meaningfully.
Is it because the situation is the situation?
Margan felt the hounds’ meaningful expressions as if they were holding back a laugh while watching him.
There is no reason to laugh at a situation where the CEO is supposed to step in and slander a low-end kid who gets involved in the conversation without knowing the subject.
‘Calm down…’
Despite being dissatisfied with everything, Magan decided to bend on her side.
What can I do? The poor side should bend over and enter.
The important thing for him now was to somehow persuade the hounds to put a spoon on their table.
“Anyway. I’ll say it again. As a member of Paraden, I will demand an explanation from the ‘representative’ of the hounds in the name of Paraden.”
Magan kindly pointed out and demanded.
“…”
An awkward silence passed.
A ‘representative’ who can explain this situation.
Hadn’t Margun just told him to shut up?
“Are you denying Paraden’s request?”
Margun frowned at how she interpreted that.
at that time.
The hounds stared at the narrow-eyed, lower-level kid.
“Well, as for what happened-“
As he cautiously opened his mouth, Magan raised a hand to stop him.
He put his hand on his forehead.
‘What are they going to do now?’
In the name of Paraden, he demanded an explanation from the hound’s representative.
But from a while ago, Sinia was still, and the new, narrow-eyed kid at the hunting dog opened his mouth.
‘No way, are you trying to fight with me right now?’
Margun recalled an anecdote related to Sinia the other day.
past.
Sinia had come into contact with Paraden through Herion Dedler, who is the direct descendant of the 8th family, Dedler, and has a colleague as an academy instructor.
They suggested using the hounds to expel Paraden’s Harasin.
There is no need for anything in return, and it’s enough just to use them to expel God of Hara-
It was an earnest and servile request.
That request was delivered to Mageon, who was active in Arien.
Magan coolly ignored the request.
What is it that he, as a member of Paraden, is sorry for, joining hands with the militia revenge demon group?
Magan, who was in the middle of the black cup infiltration mission at that time, was confident in solving the mission with his own strength.
He thought that if he accepted the hounds’ request, he would share his merits with the hounds.
‘sh*t…’
Recalling that, Margun felt that the current situation was even more humiliating.
To those who did not want to share their merits, and to ask them to share their merits.
even.
The hounds seemed to have that in mind.
What would be the reason for putting a low-level kid in a conversation with himself, a member of Paraden?
to disgrace yourself.
‘I wasn’t mistaken…’
Magan grinded her teeth.
The meaningful expressions of the hounds were right that they were holding back their laughter while looking at themselves.
The Hound was obviously making fun of this situation.
And Margan’s predictions were correct.
‘Is the kid you kept quiet about our representative?’
However, the reason they were holding back their laughter was for a reason Margan could not have imagined.
The hounds saw their past overlapping on top of Mageon, who treated Ceylon as a child and ignored it.
‘This is the taste…!’
The hound seemed to know a little bit about how Ceylon usually hides his identity.
It’s so much fun to watch from the side.
How fun the parties are!
“hound.”
Then Magan opened her mouth.
“I’ll ask again. Are you rejecting Paraden’s request?”
Unbearable, Magan spoke in a menacing tone.
Then, the brow of Xinia, who was always drawing a pleasant line, twisted.
“Can’t you?”
It reminded me of how I earnestly requested Paraden the other day, but was ruthlessly ignored, and felt a sense of resentment.
“Show a proper example to Paraden who is dedicated to serving the continent.”
“I’m already doing it my own way~?”
“…I’m going to ask for your cooperation in the future, will you be able to handle it?”
“Wouldn’t it be possible to handle it~? That’s because we’re confident~?”
When the threat didn’t work, Margun internally wrinkled her expression.
Paraden clearly had extra-legal authority, but as long as he followed the cause of maintaining peace, the subjects to which he could apply that authority were limited.
Objects that pose a threat to continental peace.
Paraden had no justification for ruthlessly treating the hounds who did not cross the line and expelled Harasin.
Cynia seemed to know that very well.
It could be possible if they formally requested cooperation through Paraden, but in that case Mageon had to report the incident first.
He had to give up the opportunity to defend his position within Paraden.
‘no way.’
In the world, the members of Paraden were known as noble and noble guardians of peace, but the reality was different.
Those without greed cannot become strong.
Most of Paraden’s members were those who, like Magan, pursued personal success as long as they did not cross the line.
The members of the Great Council who judged Magan were also aware of the character of Magan.
*****
‘By the way, how the heck…’
Thinking about it again, Margun was taken aback by Sinia’s reaction.
According to the information Magan has as a member of Paraden, the hunting dog’s goal is revenge against Harasin.
It was an impossible goal to achieve with the power of the hound alone.
This time, luckily, Harasin’s direct line master was expelled without Paraden’s help, but that was literally because of luck.
There was no way that luck would continue to follow, and eventually it would reach its limit.
I’m sure you’ll be asking for help.
A group that can help the hounds with Harassin?
Paraden was the only one.
Cynia must have known that too.
Therefore, it was right for him to appear in a low profile to himself as a member of Paraden-
‘What on earth did he believe in and be so confident?’
Margan said dumbfounded.
“Sinia. I don’t know why a smart person like you is doing this. Could it be that he did this with the fact that he refused your request in Paraden? “
Margun said, showing her pride for Paraden.
“This is an opportunity for your hound to pay its debt to me, a member of Paraden. It is a rare opportunity. If you want to build a good relationship with Paraden, you’d better put unnecessary feelings aside and hold this line.”
A chance to show off to Paraden’s crew.
A chance to build a good relationship with Paraden.
If it was the original hunting dog, it was a chance to get it anyway.
Even if it meant licking the shoes of that arrogant Paraden.
Not now.
The hounds belonged to the true Harasin now.
Margan is unaware that Edgar is a strangling arm.
It was a fact that Cynia inferred from Magan’s attitude.
What this meant was self-evident.
The true Harasin is above Paraden.
At least in regards to the ghostly Harasin.
Sinia said, revealing her full pride for the true Harasin so as not to lose to Magun.
“I’m really grateful for that, but I’ll make sure to accept it from my heart~?”
“…!”
Margun could not hide her shock and exposed it intact.
‘What the hell do you believe in…’
Did you even find an ally to replace Paraden?
‘A collaborator to replace Paraden…’
Margun couldn’t even figure out what the source of Sina’s confidence was.
“if…”
“The last kid is keeping his mouth shut.”
Magan was in anguish.
Will Sinia organize a mercenary corps as an academy instructor and threaten to accuse her of being involved in the affairs of the underworld?
‘Nonsense.’
Even by Magan’s broad standards, that was against Paraden’s pride.
“sh*t.”
Is there no choice but to step back?
Margun’s eyebrows twisted without mercy.
“Get out of the way.”
Margun shoved the last kid closest to Edgar’s corpse and approached Edgar’s corpse.
“…!”
After examining Edgar’s corpse closely, Margan opened her eyes wide.
Part of the skin on Edgar’s face was peeling off, and another face was nestled inside.
A new identity bestowed upon assassins who have turned to God Hara. face.
It was Harasin’s mask.
sure
Edgar was an assassin that Magan was pursuing.
An assassin with a rank higher than that of a direct master within Harasin.
Judging from the fact that he was killed by the hounds, I’m guessing it’s probably the direct line master.
gulp.
Magan swallowed.
Eliminate Harasin’s direct line master.
It was a feat not to be missed.
“If we’re done with our business, let’s go back for now, shall we?”
Margun trembled.
“Can you clean up without my help?”
“Is there anything else to do? It’s just that a crime syndicate that has a grudge against countless enemies has just been assassinated~?”
“It’s different from what I know.”
“Um~? Could it be that the member of Paraden is going to testify as an executive of a criminal organization?”
“…”
Even by Magan’s standards, it was against Paraden’s pride.
Leaving behind the threat of not even being eaten, the hounds left the place.
Afterwards, Magan almost turned over the warehouse to find out Edgar’s identity, but-
Ceylon, who visited first a long time ago, had already robbed it, so of course, there was no harvest.
“sh*t…”
Eventually, Margun’s attention turned to the hound again.
In order to avoid Margan from losing his position in Paraden, he had to somehow put a spoon on the expulsion of Harasin’s direct master this time.
In order to do that, I needed the cooperation of the Hound members somehow-
Judging by their attitude, the hounds seemed unwilling to cooperate.
‘I’ll be thrilled.’
All that remains is to appease them.
However, as Magan knew, the members of the Hounds trusted each other enough to be willing to risk their lives.
Magan couldn’t recall seeing them falling for his appeasement-
“…for a moment.”
at that time.
Suddenly, the face of a hound agent appeared in Magan’s mind.
Hess and hess.
A kid with a narrow-eyed, dumbfounded face.
He was the newest member of the Hound.
Magan thought of the foolish kid falling for his appeasement.
“…”
Then he remembered very simply the way the bewildered kid fell for his appeasement.
It was insignificant indeed, but Ceylon’s bewildered appearance was the product of a trait with near miraculous powers.
No matter how much he was a member of Paraden, he was not free from the complacency that seemed to be directly imprinted on his brain.
***
It was two days after Edgar’s death.
Margun was walking around the grounds of Ain Academy.
Academy Outsider Pass?
-please…!
After abandoning the identity of Iron Boots Max and returning to Margan Felix, a member of Paraden, he requested the academy professor to issue it without delay.
‘This is the right reaction.’
Magan fiddled with the pass and nodded in satisfaction.
Although the scars on his pride he had suffered from the hounds were slight, he felt recovered.
From noble mtl dot com
‘Ceylon…’
After parting ways with the Hound, Magan immediately went to investigate the Hound’s new agent, the dazed kid.
A commoner of unknown origin.
The peculiarity was that, as a commoner, he ranked first in the academy entrance exam.
‘That stupid guy.’
Nothing changed.
To say that he was the head of the academy entrance exam, he was nothing more than a child to Margan, a member of Paraden.
‘I caught the eye of Sinia in the academy entrance exam and became a member of the hound…’
According to information, Ceylon became a member of the hunting dog in less than a month.
It was not enough time to firmly establish a sense of belonging to the organization.
Magan smiled contentedly.
At this point, I had no confidence in not being able to appease the youngster.
“hey.”
Before long, Magan spotted Ceylon wandering the trails.
“you are?”
Is it because of my mood?
The moment Ceylon found himself, his silly smile seemed to have changed into something very mischievous and delightful.
It wasn’t my mood.
A member of Paraden, a treasure trove of talented people, rolled in at their own will.

‘My mouth is drooling so much.’
Ceylon licked his lips as he checked the list of achievements.
How many ingredients can you collect for Dawn Budae Stew in Paraden?
“…!”
Magan got goosebumps for some reason, but-
You immediately realize that there is no reason for that.
Even if it’s Sinia, there’s no way a kid like that could keep his composure in front of Paraden’s name.
“Long time no see.”
“Huh…? You’re-…”
The appearance of Magan, who threw off the identity of Max, was quite different from then.
“Paraden.”
“Ah. Ah! You…!”
Look at this.
The moment Ceylon recognized Magan as an agent of Paraden, he showed a loud surprise.
This was a natural reaction, and Sinia’s reaction at that time was strange.
Magan confidently told him with restored confidence.
“I have something to share with you, please take a minute.”
Magan immediately turned his back and walked away, full of confidence, as if he hadn’t heard an answer.
Then, on the other side, a female student wearing a black mask waved her hand toward Ceylon.
“Ceylon~”
Miz, she passed Magan and approached Ceylon.
Ceylon naturally continued the conversation with her.
Magan didn’t care.
“…”
From a place ten steps away from Ceylon, Mageon urged Ceylon with his eyes.
It doesn’t come out of nowhere, what are you doing?
Ceylon replied with a smile.
“Sorry, I have a prior arrangement!”
“…”
Magan was mesmerized by the unexpected flow.
‘They prioritize their promise with that kid over a conversation with me, a member of Paraden?’
At that time, the girl’s light blue hair caught Margun’s eyes.
‘Isn’t that even Bower?!’
There was a huge crack in Magan’s pride, which was gradually recovering.
