The bumps along the road weren't much of a bother.
“We picked the right caravan. They are heading to Archtis.” Quinn said, hiding quietly in a corner, while hoping no one would find him.
He had gotten this hint from their conversation.
The journey went on smoothly, with a few bumps here and there.
Until it came to a stop.
From the back seat of the caravan, Quinn peered out of the window.
There was no building in sight, which meant only one explanation.
“Get ready to fight, Bell.”
The sounds of bullets echoed in the dawn of the day.
“Even the guards we paid for are useless.”
“Who would have thought we would meet renowned Mountain Bandits?”
“We don't have anything, please spare our lives.”
The merchants tried to beg but it was fruitless.
“Shut up! We know what you are carrying in those things. Our informant would never mislead us. And if you think you can decieve us, be ready to die.” A burly man swung a sword, resting it on his shoulders.
Then he chuckled, moving the stick he held in his mouth, “You weaklings are wasting my time. Men, take everything. Tonight, we are going to have a feast!”
Hearing their leader, the bandits let out a shout and they instantly spread around.
“I'd take the back while you take the left.”
Quinn on the other hand clenched his fists, this caravan was his ticket to escape.
“Bell, take them both and yes, kill them.” Quinn said and then he jumped down from the caravan.
“Why is there someone still walking freely? I told you to seize everyone of them!” The bandit leader yelled out.
However no one responded.
Soon enough, the reverberating sounds of cries and yells filled the place, before coming to an abrupt stop.
“They won't be able to do anything, and for a long time.” Quinn frowned.
The merchants wondered where he had come from because they hadn't seen anyone like him.
“What are you talking about? Do you want to die?” The bandit leader was also someone who was not to be messed with.
Seeing that there was truly no response from his team, a vein popped up in the man's head.
“I'd kill you, and then because of you, I'd kill every single merchant here.” The leader said, and in a single second, he closed the distance between Quinn and him.
“I know you are a summoner, so there's no way you could have your strength. Once I get rid of you, your beast goes to.” Leader smirked, and raised his leg, delivering a round house kick.
Quinn had no expression and he didn't move an inch.
“Bell.”
It was a single word and instantly the kick was blocked.
The shockwave sent leader flying back, and then he steadied himself, almost immediately.
Quinn walked forward, resting his hand on Bell’s shoulder.
“You don't have to hold back.”
Hearing that, the leader scoffed and them he looked around.
His men were truly no where to be found.
“This is pointless and you aren't going to be with these merchants forever. Once you are out, I'm going to come back and kill every single one of them.”
Hearing that, each merchant quivered in fear and a sense of frustration arose as they looked at Quinn.
Quinn didn't meet their eyes and he turned to Bell.
“You can kill him now.” He said.
Leader frowned, “There's not possible, do you know who I—”
His words were cut short.
In a second, his head left his body, separated by the dark sword in Bell’s hand.
It was a swift move but it was enough to decide the winner.
After the event, Quinn looked at the merchants and gave them a smile.
“I am sorry for killing him outrightly, but there was no way I could let you all remain in danger.” He said, giving them a small bow.
Bell looked at what her master did and also gave a man.
The brutal scene that occurred was enough to hit a mark on their heart.
“No young Sir! Thank you so much for saving our lives.” One of the merchant stepped forward.
Quinn instantly marked him as the one who was more prominent than the others.
“If there's anything you'd like in repayment for this, please let us know. We are merchant, we care more about our life than our riches.”
The merchant said and stepped forward.
Quinn scratched the back of his head, “I only need to get to Archtis. Asides that, there's nothing more. I would really appreciate your service.”
“Oh? That's nothing. Archtis is where we are headed and we can do that much!”
“Please by all means, you are welcome into our caravan.”
Quinn nodded, “Thank you very much.”
With everything that happened, he was able to secure a transportation service back to Archtis.
And once he was there, he would apply at the Knight call for the Golden Knights Academy.
The journey went without bumps and Quinn couldn't tell if it was from Bell’s overwhelming presence but there was no sights of beasts or bandits from any corners.
“We need your trading license.” The guards at the massive gate of Archtis said, looking suspiciously at the band of caravans.
Quinn ensured that he stayed out of sight.
But he could clearly see it from where he hid.
The city of Archtis was far greater than Pearl City, where he had come from.
The walls reached an overwhelming height and from his calculations, not even the army of Pearl city could defeat that.
Was this why the Archtis city were always allowed to bring in two extra slots for the Golden Knights Academy?
Quinn's eyes glimmered, if he could get into that spot, then he would definitely be able to get in that spot with Bell’s strength.
“I'm hungry.” Speaking of the devil, Bell pinched Quinn's clothes as she stayed in the corner.
“Aren't you like a very powerful summon? How the heck are you hungry?” Quinn frowned.
But the girl only stared at him, and pointed again at her stomach.
“Feed me.”

Quinn already knew that was the best option. There was no way he could go down there by himself.The best course of action was always with a team.“Yes. I'd go with you.” Quinn answered.“Thank you, I'd do everything to protect you. Meet us here by night, and then we'd set on our way.” Asterion said and then he turned around.Quinn nodded and went back to the serving lady.“I have accepted the job.” He said.The serving lady looked at him and then shook her head.“Kid, you have a good life in front of you. Why would you choose to waste it just like that? I thought after seeing the job description, you would choose not to go.”She said to him. The dungeons were dangerous places, and so many people never came out of there alive.And this young man was willing to step into that place.“I need money so I can get into the tournament and win it. That's how best my life can be of use, by being a golden knight, and I would do everything in my power to achieve that.” Quinn said.“Sure kid, but
CHAPTER 8
“Okay, you are qualified.” The guards said and the large gates were opened.The large bands of caravan entered into the massive city.“Where are we going?” Quinn asked one of the merchants as soon as they were far from the guards.“The city market Square. The reason why so many merchants are moving to Archtis is becoming of the upcoming Tournament to decide who would take the golden spots.” The man replied him.“The Golden Spots? What's that about?”“The emperor gives out two separate slots for the Archtis President to fill with two people worthy enough to be Golden Knights. This is because of how much Archtis has contributed to the war against the demon beasts and nightmares.” The caravan had already reached market square, and the merchants started to offload their goods.“So due to that, most people come from neighbouring city just to get a chance, and since the Archtis President see it as a way to increase the city's pocket, he turned it into a tournament.”Quinn was speechless bu

CHAPTER 6
There was no moment to doubt.“Okay, thank you.” Quinn took the key and Vaughan stepped out of the dungeon.After that fight, it was like his mind had been rewired.There was no explanation for someone like him to be afraid of the Rodriguez family.The White Soldiers would do just fine without their sponsorship.Quinn opened the door of the cage and he walked out.“Bell. Can you hear me?”Quinn said the moment he stepped out of the cage.Bell materialised and gave him a nod.“I couldn't come out.”“It's fine. Let's get out of here.” Quinn said.The pathway through the dungeon was dark and the voices of guards echoed in every area.Bell pinched Quinn's sleeve as they hid in the corners.“You have something?” Quinn looked down, and then a black hole appeared under them.“Okay, let's do this.”With a nod, they fell into the dark hole.Quinn landed softly, and he looked around.“Bell. Where are you?”Darkness covered everywhere around him and for a moment, he thought he had gone blind.“H
CHAPTER 5
“You see! It's exactly as my grandson said. He's using forbidden arts!” An elderly man stepped out from the crowd.The judge's face paled.This was the Patriarch of the Rodriguez Family.There was no way the judge could offend the second greatest family in the city, next to the king.“Patriarch, please, to what do we owe the honour of your visit.” The Judge rushed to Patriarch.Meanwhile Quinn dreaded what would happen after this.There was no way if this man was involved.“Damn it.” Quinn clenched his fists, and then he thought about bell.“Greeting me while planning to set me the culprit who made my son armless has to be some sort of joke.”“Patriarch….” The judge tried to explain.“You should also seize his summon! That thing cannot be allowed to roam free.” Another elder from the Rodriguez family stepped out.“As the family known for controlling multiple summons, it would be best to give us authority over it.” Another person said.It was plain obvious what the Rodriguez family wer
CHAPTER 4
“Freaking hell!” Quinn snapped.“You want to arrest me? Sure, no problem!” Then he pointed back to Rhys, “Arrest him too or does noble blood mean he is permitted to commit attempted murder.” Quinn frowned.“Ask any one of them first, what he tried to do?”Captain Vaughan narrowed his eyes, then he turned around.“Anyone that can testify that Rhys tried to kill Quinn first should step forward this instant.”Quinn clenched his fists.“Guys. What are you doing? Weren't anyone there when that panther tried to do a killer move? Didn't you see?”However none of them answered.They all looked away.Vaughan chuckled. “As you can see, you have no witnesses or evidence.” He said, glaring at Quinn, before turning to his shoulders.“Seize him!”A black hole formed around both Vaughan and the soldiers who were coming forward.Quinn was the first person to notice this.“Bell. Stop it! You'd only make it worse.” He quickly said to her.He had thought she was resting until he saw the black hole.The
