Chapter 20: Sara
{Part 1}
After they went and slaughtered the monsters without mercy, they encountered gruesome moments amongst the kidnapped victims.
They're basically just a living lump of flesh without their souls. It couldn't be healed using healing magic, so in the act of mercy they just killed them swiftly and painlessly. In other words they set them free from their suffering.
Using Fire Magic, Reinhard cremated their bodies.
After that, they set up a camp in a nearby river.
"You really know anything. And you can use Magic so well.."
"It's nothing to be praised about. Anyone can use magic if they use incantations and enough Magical Power, it's that simple."
Incantations in magic are just basically pre-programmed that only needed to be executed. Silent Casting is like creating a program from scratch.
That's why only a handful of people could even use silent casting like Rudeus and Sylphy.
"Really? I think it is more complicated than that." Isolte doesn't seem convinced herself.
For people like her who isn't a mage herself, magic is considered to be a miraculous phenomenon.
Throughout the whole world, only 1 out of the 20 are capable of combat. 1 out of 20 are mages. The higher their rank, the more rare they are.
It's common knowledge that magic existed, but it's not something you could casually see anytime anywhere.
"That girl you talked to yesterday. What's her name?"
"I didn't really asked her, let's ask when we come back. It should be fine, right?" Isolte said.
"There's no need." Reinhard refused and threw the thoughts of it out of his mind.
"Oh right, why are you asking about her?"
"It's trivial. I just thought she's carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows. It's a really rare weapon to use."
In this world, the art of bow and arrow aren't as advanced as swordsmanship. Even swords could strike in a distance, and deal devastating damage than a simple arrow. So they're not really that popular, only hunters use them.

{Part 2}
2 days later.
Yesterday Reinhard and Isolte decided to
Both Reinhard and Isolte went to get their payment from the village chief.
10 Asuran Gold Coins. For a Rural village like this, it should be enough to support them for a year.
They had to pay within their own pockets, and Reinhard accepted the payment without shame. After all it was his job.
"Here, 5 Gold Coins." Reinhard tossed 5 Gold Coins on Isolte's direction like they're just pieces of shiny stones.
Isolte looked dumbfounded and caught all of them with great reflex. "What?"
"It's out job. It's only natural we split the pay. That's common sense." Reinhard told her. It's only natural that you get paid when you work.
"Is that so? I'll make sure to remember that." Isolte took it to her mind. For her she didn't came to work, but experience the world. Like camping out, hunting your own food, and other stuff.
"Thank you very much for saving us, Reinhard-sama, Isolte-sama."
"Yeah, we'll be on our way."
The chief and Reinhard shook hands.
"Make sure to visit me in the Capital if you passed by." Isolte on the other hand is saying her farewells with the girl she met. They embraced each other.
Apparently they actually created a bond with each other. Even though they're here for only a very short time, they were closer than expected.
"We better get going, Isolte."
When the village chief and other villagers were about to send them off, they suddenly noticed in a distance were a pair of armed knights. From the symbol on their breastplate, it should be the Lord of this land's forces.
"Knight Reinhard Greyrat! By the orders of Philemon Notos Greyrat, we'll have to arrest you!" An older looking Knight came and declared forcefully.
The villagers on the other hand were furious from the development.
This people actually had the balls to arrest their benefactor, when he's just wiping up their asses? It's too unreasonable!
Still they couldn't voice it out themselves, one wrong move and their lives including their families would be in danger. Mere commoners couldn't stand against nobles, especially a higher ranked one the Greyrats.
"That's bullshit, you shitty geezeeeeeeer!!"
However... The girl that Isolte talked to had came forward. You could say it was the innocence of youth, hatred, or even her grudge.
She drawn out an arrow in her quiver. She placed in her her strings with practiced ease. She pulled it back making huge potential energy to release the force all our once.
Everyone in the area, the chief, Isolte, and even Reinhard looked at her in shock.
The Knights whoever didn't bat an eye, looking at her as if she's an insect. There's no way an arrow could peirce their thick metal armor.
'Interesting...'
Watching all these in a slow motion, Reinhard found this girl fascinating. Especially her eyes that shows rebelliousness.
However seeing that there's no going back now if that arrow is going to launch, Reinhard sent a pebble hitting on the girl's wrist.
"What?" The girl looked on her hands with disbelief.
The Knights noticed that the girl let go of her bow.
"Oi, ossan. You just called me right? Who the heck do you think you're talking to? I'm gonna put you in your place." Reinhard brandished his sword and sent an attack coming.
"Nu–"
Both of them didn't anticipate an attack incoming and let their guards down. In an instant their kneecaps below their armor was shattered. Their wrists and elbows bent in an impossible direction.
"Don't make me laugh. Your Lord should come to me and grovel if he wants me to go. Who died and made him the boss out of me?" Reinhard stomped on their faces and knocking them out.
He didn't care about the villagers or if the monsters caused deaths. He's just here to take the spotlight.
"Well whatever." Reinhard walked away and sheathed back his sword on his waist.

{Part 3}
"Hey kid, what is your name?"
The girl who's still caressing her wrists from the pebble thrown. To be called as a kid by someone younger might infuriate anyone.
"Sara. Just Sara."
Reinhard somehow recognized that name from somewhere.
"Sara, I like you. Your guts of facing that peasant trash is admirable." Reinhard stood in front of her and stretched out his hand for a helping hand.
The sun cast upon his handsome face his golden hair shines like a brilliance of the sun. The cape in his armor fluttering as the wind blows making him look so enchanting in the eyes of everyone.
"How about you serve me from now on?"
