Inside a grand villa, in a large dining room , Rayford du Gladius, the grandson of the Duke Gladius, a slender boy with body that a bit taller than teens around his age and curly auburn hair with slighty pointed ears that signify that he is partly an off spring of an elf race, sitting while eat with his fierce looking instructor. Ray's pupils are golden colored, with slightly round eyes and chubby face that makes the people around him want to shout 'kyaa so cuuteee~' and pamper him. His butler, Vince, a 20s looking man with black colored hair and eyes wearing a butler suit stood straight behind Ray patiently tending his need.

"Zed, I think I want to take a knight class advancement quest. I mean a true knight class, not an aprentice one."

(vince) "I'm sorry young lord, but young lord Adam strictly specifying that you can't go anywhere outside villa area without his consent first." Vince interjecting Ray's word

(Zed) "You heard him. My apologies but I also don't want to get an earfull scolding from the old duke if anything happen to you young lord." zed said while just continuing without bothering about the issue any further

'Damn! those overprotective families of mine! how do i get my proper Battle class then? I need to get stronger to face the great calamity! for duck with f sake! what I'll be facing aren't some weakling mortals! but those Gods!' Ray get frustrated about how his families especially his older brother habit that way too overprotective of him.

'I guess i'll sneaking out then, i'll try to find the oppoturnity later.''

(Vince) "And don't bother to try sneaking out young lord, you know what my class is, I'm a shinobi and a high level chunnin too, morever just a step away from jounnin level. Even though I can't be said to be undefeated it's more than enough to handle you, But if you think you can outsmart me in the term of sneaking out then you're very welcomed to try." *smile*

'What the... how?' Ray felt shiver down in his spine and his back drenched in cold sweat because of vince's word. Yes, he was the best player - in - game and legendary level player. But he was a knight class! a knight's style is facing his enemy head on fair and square, not a sneaky one. It also true that he used to have several other class skill and his own style wasn't exactly the true knight style, but still...

A ninja or shinobi, they specialized in gathering information, sneaking like a thief, trapping enemies like ranger, and swift killing like an assasin! very few player that manage to get that class because the insane difficulty of the class advancement quest, from his millions of guild's member only around slightly more than two hundreds people that have the battle class of a shinobi. Each and every shinobis are precious asset of every guild because of their high potential of utilities in every possible way.

"huh? Wha... what do you mean sneaking out vince? off course i wouldn't do stuff like sneaking out at night just to go to the capital, I just feels excited after today's training and want to get my battle class as fast as possible." *feigning ignorance*

Seeing that his second young Lord felt a bit down Zed felt finally felt pity towards his second young lord, he knew Ray is a genius and wether his talent in swordmanship and hardworking attitude both he could give him a thumbs up. Unfortunately, his brother overprotective attitude stunt his growth.

(Zed) "well how about this, i'll go with young lord to get his advancement class, you know i also am a knight. We can meet the head of knight's guild directly, yes i didn't have that much face to garner that privillage, but what about if we go with Gladius main family's badge in hand?" *grin*

(Vince) "hmm..." Vince began to pondering zed's word

'indeed with Gladius main family's badge in hand, the head of knight's guild have to give us some face and meet us directly. And if he refuses to meet us even after we show him the badge...

*smile* then i don't think the lord duke would mind if the knight's guild head get a few cuts on his body and lost several limb'

If only zed knew what Vince thought, he surely shout 'YOU CRAZY FLAT FACE PSYCHO!'

(vince) "Okay then, i agree with that suggestion. How about that young lord? you can go to the capital but we will escort you."

Ray was mildly surprised, because he didn't think that vince would change his mind so quickly just because of Zed's word. From the previous body owner memories, he know that vince wouldn't change his mind easily except because of his grandpa's or brother's orders, or there was an emergency situation.

"I don't mind either, then what are you waiting for? let's go now!"

(Vince) "No, we can't young Lord. it's already mid day now, if we go now we have to spend the night on the way and for safety sake i won't allow that. Except "I" deemed that you're strong enough to go out and to protect yourself from any harm that might befall upon you. We will go to the capital tommorrow."

'What the duck! I, your daddy here, am the best player in feinan continent! which player doesn't feel fear, reverence, or envy upon hearing my name? wether it is my own strength or my guild force both were the best in the world! and here you are said i can't even protect myself from harm? what could be possible to harm me? a nuclear bomb? yeah it could...'

'If i have my former power, even an elder shinobi would cower before me! let alone just a Chunnin like you!' Ray shouting inside his mind and feel very frustated and angry with vince's word.

'should i use the exp to upgrade my level and stats then kick his ass? nah, i won't let anger clouding my judgement. I won't let a provocation from a mere chunnin affect my grand plan' Ray thought silently while staring at villa's ceiling with frustated heart.

'Yes Shinobis are rare and have high battle and war potential. But what are they compared to the mighty absolute attack and defense of my Crimson Gallant Knight? and none of that class that transcended into legendary class' *smirk*

'Be patient, revenge is best to be served cold...'
