"Baron trust us, this mission, the saber-toothed tiger group will certainly accomplish!"
"I don't doubt it. You're dismissed," declared the Baron, and without waiting for an answer, he set off back the way he'd co.
At the sa mont, Barbara arrived with a bag full of gold coins and placed it in Maxi's hands.
Maxi thanked Barbara and she simply bowed before setting off again to carry out her duties.
Before Romuald's astonished gaze, the bag suddenly beca thinner, as if there were nothing left inside, and Maxi quickly tucked it away inside his pockets.
What kind of magic is this?" asked Romuald curiously.
"Haha, there's no such thing as magic, it's just a handy little trick," replied Maxi with amusent.
Obviously, he wasn't going to reveal the system's capacity to anyone in this world.
At the sa ti, he brought up his status screen again.

Maxi's eyes sparkled at the sight of so much gold, but he would think later about how to use it.
What surprised him most was Romuald's physique, which seed to have exceeded the limit of his potential!
If he had level 1 sword skills of at least 60/100, he'd fit right in with the elite soldiers!
Unfortunately, Maxi couldn't see that kind of information about individuals in this world. But what he did have was more than enough.
While Maxi was deep in thought, and was leaving the manor accompanied by Romuald, the latter sighed and exclaid:
"The Baron is as impressive as ever."
Maxi snapped out of his thoughts and only nodded in response, he himself had felt the deep gulf between commoners and nobles.
Instead, he asked with a slight smile:
"Romuald, it might be ti for you to discover the advantages of joining my rcenary group."
"Advantages? Don't tell you possess a magical talent?" asked Romuald curiously.
"A magical talent?" asked Maxi, not understanding what he was talking about directly.
Romuald looked disappointed for a mont, but then explained seriously:
"Magical talents are diversified and super-powerful talents about which no one has found a term to group them."
"Normally, individuals' talents are rather simple, such as strengthening the physique, improved training efficiency, better reaction ti - in short, it improves certain aspects of the body or brain."
"That's what so geniuses rely on to surpass their limits, and I'm one myself!" he announced proudly.
Maxi listened seriously to his explanations, and so waited quietly for the rest.
On the other hand, Romuald changed his expression to one of admiration:
"But there are certain monsters in this world who have a talent that can be applied to all their subordinates, but only if those subordinates are rcenaries."
"That makes all rcenaries geniuses, even if to a small extent."
"Indeed, the world is fair and just. Generally magical talents have lesser effects than individual talents, but it's still heaven-defying since the latter can add up on the sa person."
"If one person in a hundred has a physical talent, then only one person in a hundred thousand has a magical talent!"
"That's how rare they are!"
But seeing Maxi's lack of reaction, Romuald didn't elaborate any further and cald down.
"It doesn't matter if you don't possess one, there are many rcenary group leaders who don't and yet are extrely respected and in demand everywhere."
"Anyway, what are the advantages you ntioned?" asked Romuald without too much expectation.
"Good comrades, a good salary and an excellent future," Maxi replied with a smile.
But while Maxi knew what he ant when he said "excellent future", Romuald only understood it as comfort.
Out of curiosity, Romuald questioned Maxi on a certain point:
"You ntioned that you could make stronger, I'd like to know what you ant by that?"
After all, that was the reason he'd had him convinced to join Maxi's group.
"The sa thing I ant when I said excellent future."
Romuald's constant evasion of the point irritated him, even giving way to a certain rage in his words.
"Look kid, I just gambled my life joining you and now I can't go back. So keep fooling around with and I'll smash your pretty face to the ground."
At the sa ti, Romuald's face had co dangerously close to Maxi's.
Yet, despite his words, Maxi's face and eyes didn't change in the least.
"The magical talent you speak of, I have. And quite a powerful one," Maxi declared, eting Romuald's gaze.
Astonishnt appeared on Romuald's face as he backed away slightly, but still retaining a certain irritation.
"There you go, whenever you like. Be more direct next ti", he declared, waiting to see the effects.
However, Maxi's reaction was not long in coming as he threatened:
"However, talk to like that again, and your excellent future will be spent at Lucifer's side."
Once again, Romuald felt Maxi's famous charisma, the sa one that had convinced him to join him.
His aura was completely different from that of the Baron. This was the real Maxi, the one who could express himself completely when he had no constraints.
This sohow eased Romuald's heart, proving that he hadn't made the wrong choice.
On the contrary, he laughed heartily, not taking Maxi's words at all seriously.
"Haha I like that temperant chief, keep it and I'll stay with you until the dawn of ti."
Maxi also laughed lightly as he replied:
"Stay alive until then."
"Don't worry chief, I intend to stay alive and enjoy the view when we get to the top!"
The discussion over, they continued strolling down the street.
A few minutes later, they found a bar which they entered.
As luck would have it, they soon found the mbers of the saber-toothed tiger rcenary group.
However, the situation didn't look particularly good, as Maxi heard:
"Haha then little redhead what a feeling it is to have good beer on your hair!"
Maxi had seen his 8 rcenaries laughing rrily together and the next mont a rcenary passing behind spilled an entire pint of beer on Andrew's hair.
Andrew kept his head down for seemingly endless seconds as beer continued to fall on him.
A score of burly n seated around a large table nearby laughed loudly at this action. They seed to be his comrades, as the rest of the bar remained silent.
Most were eagerly awaiting the reaction of the redhead and his comrades.
Romuald was also looking forward to what was to co. It was the first ti in a long ti that he could enjoy a bit of action without having to intervene as a guard.
Yet he saw Maxi from behind slowly advancing towards them.
"No, that would be too fortuitous, wouldn't it?" Romuald ntally asked himself with a slight touch of irony.
It wasn't just Romuald; everyone saw Maxi moving slowly towards the author of the current scene, since he was the only person moving.
2 rcenaries blocked his path.
However, Maxi didn't slow down in the slightest, continuing as if there were no obstacle as he whispered:
"System, raise the level of the peasant and swordsman classes to level 2."
