"That's... That's actually not a bad idea... But don't you think the kingdoms will be a little wary of us suddenly creating guilds all over the kingdom?" Jessica asked with a raised brow.
"That's true." Silas nodded with a smile. 'This kingdom doesn't really have anything that talks about the right to free speech, so the only other thod is-'
"The Evergreen faction."
"..."
"..."
"Why Evergeen?" Jessica looked at him with a slightly condescending look.
"It's my idea. I think I'm allowed to take credit." Silas chuckled.
"Yeah, but everyone knows your second na is Evergreen."
"Not a single person except a very small minority knows that my second na is Evergreen."
"Everyone knows."
"Again... No one does. You can quite literally ask anyone in this city. The only ti I used the na Evergreen was before I beca Judgent, and before that, no one knew that it was ." Silas shrugged and continued- "Hell, they don't even know that my na is Ga... Well, my current na. I might have to change that in the nearby future when I go back to being called Silas." Silas said while scratching his chin.
He could feel a few hairs growing there. He always thought that it was a little weird. Despite looking like a young adult, he had no more than a few hairs to show for it.
"I support the idea, but I'm not sure about the na. Plus, even if you do it, who will lead it?"
", of course." Silas shrugged
"You're a kingdom-wide criminal."
"I am well aware." Silas said with a glint in his eyes that Jessica could not decipher.
"What are you trying to say." Jessica asked with a slightly worried expression.
"I'm trying to say that I don't care about those low lifes. The kingdom. The nobles. Everyone who supports them. In the end, they are nothing." Silas' voice beca slightly heavier as he said those words.
"We can't go to war yet with them."
"I never said I would go to war with them." Silas shook his head with a disappointed sigh, as if he was complaining that talking to soone as stupid as Jessica would only hurt his brain.
"Though, if they do decide to co after ." Silas muttered under his breath and got up to walk toward the door.
His hand fell upon the door handle before his eyes turned to the woman behind the desk.
"I'll kill them myself."
***
The rest of Silas' day went on as usual. Actually, most of his week went the way it usually would have.
After the talk with Jessica, he went to Archie and had decided to train with him for the day. None of them went all out since that would most likely destroy the fabric of the training hall they were using and turn it into dust; however, in a way, they didn't hold back.
They simply refrained from using any of their power-ups. Or at least that was what Silas called them.
While Silas simply used his natural body to fight his opponent, Archie, on the other hand, chose to use his natural toki to fight against Silas simply.
At first, six years ago, when Silas had asked Archie for this lesson, the fight was quite one-sided.
Silas had no idea how strong Archie was, but when he saw how strong he really was, Silas could not help but feel quite surprised.
However, a question has appeared in Silas' mind ever since then.
How did Archie, soone capable of killing Greed in a single hit even when she had all her defenses activated, get caught by her?
That question remained at the back of his mind for a quite a few years, and even now, it was a question he asked himself every now and then.
However, there was another thing he found out about Archie over the years that he would have been unable to find out before.
Archie, despite how he might seem, was trustworthy. He wasn't loyal to any person. He was loyal to Darkless.
So as long as you weren't a threat to Darkless, he wouldn't hurt you. He wouldn't even touch you.
Yet, despite how the situation was a few years ago, even if Archie wanted to kill Silas, they both knew that it would take much more than just him.
After all, the only person that was truly a threat to Silas' life was War, and until now, he hadn't even t her.
Silas' spar with Archie lasted a few hours. After that, he went and showered before going to Life to study magic with her again.
Silas' relationship with her didn't really change after he found out about her keeping the information about his family from him. He understood that Archie had asked to do it, so he chose not to say anything about it to her as the reasonable man he was.
With her help, he learned how to do many things, and with his help, she even learned how to instant cast. She hadn't gotten to the point where she could silent cast, but from what Silas could see of her progress, she would most likely reach that point soon.
Silas' job in the Judgent faction hadn't changed much either. Though, now that he was the leader of it, his only real job was ensuring the city had a sense of justice.
After he had beco the leader of the faction, a quarter of the previous people had left by the first year's mark, but after that, the only ones that left were either the ones that retired, or the ones that had been injured to a point where they could not work on the field anymore.
Silas could have probably healed them, but many were content with their injuries.
