[Chapter 300 From now on, you are human]
“Player Super Justice()”
Her fingertips trembled.
The past flashed past her like a mirage, like fine sand flowing through her fingertips.
“—Are you loyal to the Archduke?”
When Vladimir picked her up, he also asked him, who was still “Soronic”.
His parents were murderers.
The father is an elite stalker who can assassinate the official wizard, and the mother is a believer of the Black Widow who can concoct powerful poisons. Both of them have innocent blood on their hands.
They didn’t deserve to die — and Thoronic knew that, intellectually.
But watching his mother was killed by his enemy, his father never came back.
He was expelled from the village again by the people in the village… In the whistling snowstorm, he was alone holding the dagger used by his father and was expelled from the small enchantment.
The young Thoronic was full of fear and anxiety.
He crossed the snow on foot and reached the big city.
He wanted to join the Hand of Winter, but couldn’t be accepted because of the guilt of his parents; he was attacked by the frost beast raised by the mind thief, and nearly died in the snow; he took his sword and wanted to join the caravan as a guard , only asked for a stable job and a full meal, and was rejected because of his young age and poor swordsmanship.
He begged and worked in various places, but his money was deceived. He beat up the thief in anger and wanted to learn swordsmanship with the stolen goods, but was rejected by the instructor of the swordsmanship dojo.
“I’ve heard about your hometown, Thoronic. I won’t teach you swordsmanship, you’re a natural killer. When you use your sword, you instinctively attack other people’s fatalities.
“You haven’t killed anyone yet, and there’s still time to look back—you’re in good health, exercise, do some hard work, and you’ll never starve. You have to work hard everywhere. Or you can read or read. , can also become a big man.
“If you learn swordsmanship… no, as long as you learn any combat technique, you may kill people. And as long as you kill the first person, you can’t stop. What I teach here is guard swordsmanship. , not the swordsmanship of a killer.”
The old teacher’s comments on Thoronic quickly spread throughout the city.
This frail boy from out of town, always holding a sword and being rebellious like a lone wolf, is still well-known in this small town.
But after the word spread, there were no people who hired him to work.
– You will die if you continue to stay here.
Thoronic was very clear.
However, he also knew… the old teacher’s comments were not accurate enough.
Because he is not a reckless person, he is still hiding his edge.
On the contrary, the edge is too strong, and it is impossible to hide it with a hand.
He killed someone – it was his ninth birthday.
Thoronic did not learn swordsmanship.
But killing doesn’t have to be with a sword.
When his father teased him, he gestured at the weakness of the human body on him.
And Thoronic chuckled, subconsciously taking it to heart.
Fierce duels that don’t require blade-to-blade combat.
Just pour a puddle of slippery grease at the entrance of the dim alley.
People slip when they walk by.
He would hide nearby, holding heavy stones.
After the man fell, he jumped up and smashed his temple, back of head, and neck, and then used the dagger on the man’s waist to pierce his heart and cut his throat.
– Soronic planned so.
But he soon discovered…the human body is so fragile.
His plan didn’t work at all.
His mind went blank at the time.
He just kept hitting the back of the head with all his strength… When he woke up, the person was already dead.
Murder is so easy.
Thoronic thought.
He took the body’s purse and tried to escape from town… but he was robbed by the bigger gangster.
Neither a stone nor a sword is better than a gun.
He obediently handed in the stolen wallet, only a silver coin left subconsciously was hidden in his mouth, and even the sword was snatched away.
If he hadn’t knelt down and begged for mercy in time,
Let the other party save a lead bullet… Maybe there will be no future.
With silver coins and empty hands, he left the town alone under the watchful eyes of the gangsters.
——This time, he was not as lucky as before.
Or maybe his punishment for killing someone, this blizzard was particularly harsh.
And when he was almost unconscious, he vaguely saw a pair of boots and a cane.
The man held the cane, showing no mercy or giving him the slightest dignity… He used the cold cane to turn over his weak body, tore off his clothes, and pressed it against his left chest.
“Homeless puppy, has he killed anyone?”
A low, emotionless voice sounded: “The desire is very strong…
“So, let me ask you – what would you want to be if you had another chance?”
…is this guy an idiot?
At that time, the dying Thoronic had such thoughts in his heart.
He didn’t have the strength to respond.
– It was supposed to be like this.
But a warm current was channeled into his heart through the cane.
His chest became extremely cold, but his body had strength instead.
He came alive.
Realizing this miracle with hindsight, Thoronic stood up, knelt in the snow in disbelief, and looked up at the middle-aged man in the heavy cloak.
At that moment, he was as great as a god.
“If you had another chance, who would you like to be?”
The middle-aged man’s low voice sounded again: “Or… do you want power?”
“…Ah, I think! Lord Wizard!”
He blurted out: “I want power! Please give me power that I can use to kill!”
In Thoronic’s mind at the time, only wizards had such magical powers.
But the moment he said this… he already regretted it.
However, at that time, his heart was hazy, and he could only tell the truth instinctively.
“Oh?”
Hearing Soronick’s words, the middle-aged man laughed softly: “The power to kill?
“So…for this power, how far can you do it?”
“Master, you saved my life.”
Little Thoronic said without hesitation: “If it’s for the sake of the master, I can kill you… If you have any enemies, I will kill you! I will never reveal any news about you, if I fail, I will Take poison – as long as it’s for the sake of the master, I don’t even have to die!”
This is what he learned from his father.
“[As long as it’s for the master, I don’t even want to die].”
The middle-aged man repeated a sentence, and laughed out loud for the second time: “Then remember this sentence, puppy.”
“Yes!”
“Then—are you loyal to the Archduke?”
Grand Duke…
To be honest, Thoronic was very vague about this concept.
He didn’t even know how many ranks the nobles had, and he had never even seen the mansions of the nobles.
He only heard occasionally and knew that Archduke Ivan was a good man… that’s all.
—But what does that have to do with him?
He is the child of a murderer, and also a petty murderer.
He is not a subject protected by Archduke Winter, and perhaps he should be sent to the gallows.
“Loyalty or disloyalty…you have the final say, my lord.”
Thoronic replied without hesitation: “I will listen to you.”
“Excellent answer.
“Then take my cane and stand up. Homeless puppy—”
The middle-aged man replied calmly in a voice without the slightest emotion: “From now on, you will be human.”
– From now on, I am human.
This voice rang in Thoronic’s ear.
He took a deep breath, held the cane handed over by the middle-aged man, and expressed his surrender.
…even since then.

After he joined Hand of Winter, he never cared about Winter’s political situation.
He had no training in torture and anti-torture techniques, nor did he study the doctrines of military, political, and interpersonal communication.
Even these classes are taught within the Hand of Winter.
What border nobility, what god-blood nobility, what wizard family, what ritualist family… Thoronic didn’t care about those at all.
His teacher Vladimir said that whoever was a traitor, who betrayed the Archduke, he went and killed that person.
His most gifted and most irreplaceable thing is his killing technique.
Anything within reach can kill – with talent and a hundred times of diligence, his killing skills have become more and more sophisticated, even the “ten fingers” are not as good as him.
As the old teacher said…he’s a natural killer.
Since killing the first person, his talent can no longer be hidden.
He can easily kill people much bigger and stronger than himself.
Not just because the opponent underestimated the enemy… but because he acted recklessly.
The blood of the [Murderer] flows in his veins.
– Other than that, he’s nothing.
until……
That “Professor Wolf” gave him a second life.
“I……”
Celicia’s voice trembled.
She was silent for a moment.
Under Zoya’s invisible gaze, she lowered her head: “Of course I am loyal.”
“‘Thoronic’ is all right, he’s just a lost dog…”
Professor Wolf’s magnetic voice seemed to echo in her ears: “But the esteemed and beloved ‘Miss Celicia’ is not necessarily…
“She’s a person. A free person…a beauty who always pleases.”
