Ash after seeing his affinity with letty reaching maximum asked, letty, the librarian of Royal Library of Lubana Kingdom.
"Letty, how did he die then?" Ash asked and Letty sighed and said.
"because he was getting old, Prince Rajandra knows he can't defend Lubana like his father, asked his father to surrender to to Empire"
But King Madra regarded him as coward, The Lubana Kingdom was torned between the war, and Madra grow more old, eventually after the persuasion of everyone Rajandra took a drastic measure and killed Madra himself and presented his head to Empire as sign of surrender.
Ash frowned hearing this but he sighed as he understood Rajandra position.
"It's a pity" Ash said and Letty nodded.
"But do you know the rumours?" Letty said and Ash ears perked.
"What rumours?" Ash asked.
"About King Madra still living, it is said the cave, King Madra used to meditate still houses King Madra spirit"
"Where is this cave?" Ash asked not because he is interested in any ghost but because a quest popped out and asked him to go there.
"are you also going to watch the ghost there?" Letty smiled as she asked.
"yes, isn't it fun" Ash said and Letty nodded and told him the direction, she also said " Many have gone there but some have heard him him while some hasn't"
Ash nodded and went to marked location, the cave where Madra used to Meditate is near a serene waterfall.
"it's quite a beautiful and quiet place" Ash mumbled as the environment here is really good.
Ash then entered the cave, it was small and cozy with flowers and soft green grass decorating the floor and uneven but still the ceiling had a mysterious charm.
Ash then waited but he didn't heard Madra voice or any ghost voice,
"Hmm, what was the quest again?" Ahs mumbled as he opened the quest tab and saw it changed to search the cave.
Ash closed the screen and then started searching, finally near the corner he found a old sheath.

-How about it?
"I will do it" Ash nodded, the class change quest is simply a talent testing quest.
[You have accepted the Quest]
Ash then went to inn and started to plan how to defeat first three rank Red knights while not getting Empire at his back.
"hmm, I should ask and see if any of my friends have chosen Empire as starting point" Ash then contacted and two of them answered positively.
From them he acquired the route of Red Knights and then went to that location tomorrow.
As Ash was waiting for red Knights to come, he couldn't help but think, "peter and Gwen have chosen Empire and had successfully changed to hidden class of Saintess and Saintess knight"
Peter as in spider man and Gwen as in Ghost Spider, his world traveling ticket allows him to get 6 people along with him to another world, and they were two of those six lucky people.
As he waited he checked the info. about the three red knights, his first target is Lorex the 3rd red knights and this is his usual patrolling position.
Soon, Ash heard rhythmic tapping sound and looked at horizon and saw a middle aged man with large Axe stripped to his waist, walking at front of a Knight battalion.
Ash then stood up and walked to them, the middle aged man or Lorex frowned seeing Ash and stopped and asked Ash pointing his Large Axe towards him
" Who dares to stop Red knights?" Lorex questioned, loudly and everyone attention turned towards them.
Ash bowed and introduced himself, "my name is Ash a wandering Magic Swordsman, I have heard of Red Knights glamour of Saharan Empire"
"I wish to challenge you for a Duel" Ash said calmly.
Lorex nodded seeing this but the ones following him..
"a mere wandering warrior dares to challenge us?"
"Huh? We should kill him and hand his head at our flag"
"hahahaha, that will be fitting punishment for him"
-haah, it seems their quality have declined
Madra said seeing this, it trues after all, they can't sense his power, means they are not strong at all.
"Do you really wish to challenge me?" Lorex asked.
-Oh, it seems there is diamond among the coal.
Ash brought out his sword and said "yes"
"very well" Lorex nodded and said Ash to follow him.
"But Sir Lorex.." As one of them was going to say something, Lorex glared at him and he shut up.
"you all can't even sense his power, have no right to admonish him" Lorex snorted and led Ash to a clear field.
"let's fight Wandering Magic Swordsman Ash" Lorex said and rushed at Ash.
[You have entered in Duel with 3rd rank red knight lorex]
[No Death will occur during this duel]
[Match will stop once health reaches min.]
Ash nodded and then used Perfect parry to block Lorex Axe, he then used haste and increased his speed, while attacking Lorex from different directions,
Lorex was forced on Defensive seeing this, 'Fast and Precise'
'what a great Swordsmanship and he has yet to show his magic' Lorex smiled as he battled Ash,
