บท 48: The first commoner magic knight
I submitted the report the next day along with the locket and Id which was most probably fake.
I was called in for a meeting after the investigation done by the Crimson Lions .
The investigation as expected showed that the id was fake and there was no person named Marcus with poison magic in official records . Though I was not criticized for letting him get away . I described his moves and personality to the Crimson Lions again when asked by Fuegoleon .
As for the people recovered , the children were physically fine but severely traumatized. The women were mentally and physically broken , they would need mental therapy for some time to go back to normal . The children losing their parents will be a big hit for them. Hopefully the orphanages will give them proper care .
The children distributed across several orphanages across the capital along with the recovered wealth . As it was done by Crimson Lions the chance of corruption was a little less than other squads .
I saw that Leopold had a new drive to improve after facing the cruel reality .
After bidding farewell to them I set towards the direction of the church .
..
In the church I met up with Sister Theresa who was happy that I saved the children and did my job properly. The little girl I met in the village who hid behind her mother was shifted to this church along with three other children . She broke down crying after seeing me along with the other children as they remembered me from the festival . Her saying why I didn't arrive earlier and saved her parents gripped my heart . Sister was there to calm the situation .
I told them that I lived here for five years and reassured them that they would receive proper care here . In the end I decided to stay for the night and spent some time with my friends I made in the church . The orphans of my age did some odd jobs around the church and left the church when they could take care of themselves .
The people around the church know how an orphans life is so the church receives regular donations . Not all noble households are corrupt and piece of shit . Some have a kind heart . Most of the major donations are done by them .
Sister Theresa hasn't stopped working yet. She has a job as a teacher in the school for commoners or sometimes hired by the Vermilion family .
After spending some time with them I returned to my duties . My life continued as normal , having fun everyday with black bulls , doing missions, training etc .
All this time I focused on my speed attacks and some binding spells . My core evolved to light yellow, boosting my mana control further .
Although due to mana rotation I won't have shortage of mana as long as natural mana is presence but I can't launch large scale spells which requires which requires mana more than my body has . So mana purity of mana core is an essential step which improves my mana control .
Upgrade of my mana core perfected my one tomoe sharingan . It won't be long before I unlock the second tomoe . With me sparring and hanging out with Luck almost everyday he started being more open and sharing his thoughts .

Few days later
Third person POV :
In a cemetery of the common realm , a red haired man around the age of 24 could be seen standing . A magic circle shined on his hand and a bouquet of flowers appeared which he kept on the grave of a person . The red haired man was Zora Ideale , son of Zara the first known commoner who joined the magic knights .
" I hope your soul has been resting in peace father .
I still hold up to the promise to you to change society even if you are not here anymore "

Unlike what people think, the magic knight system wasn't there 500 years ago during the of the reign of the first wizard king . This system was set up around 150 years ago by the king of that time . He wanted a system of military force different from the standard military which focused on both war and public welfare .
The system started with only a group of royals acting with the strongest of them being called the wizard king in respect to Lumiere Silvamillion Clover who is hailed as the wizard king by the people for defeating the giant demon . This system went, on with more royals joining but the system that was created for welfare was being taken advantage of by the members so noble houses were inserted into the picture to lessen the chance of giving one person more power .
It was during the time of the 26th wizard king that commoners could join the magic knights rule which came into action .After his death the 27th wizard king created the system of magic knights examination to select talents .
But the reality was harsh as even if rule was passed commoners were stopped by royals and nobles to do so .
It was Zora's father who managed to become the first known commoner to join the magic knights by the examination . Zora was happy about his father's success and wanted to be like him . One day when he was 12 a news that trampled over his dreams reached his ears , his father was killed in war . When he went to his grave he found that it was not that he was killed in war but he was backstabbed by his own squad members because he was doing better than them .
This incident had completely changed his viewpoint on life and destroyed his trust on magic knights . But he never forgot his father's dreams of helping people .
He changed his appearance to resemble a doll that his father gifted him . Red hair pointing upwards and a black mask that covered his lower face with space for this nose and mouth .
From that day onwards he began thrashing arrogant and corrupt magic knights while helping people while taking a different identity . As he did more cleansing missions his magic mastery increased but one day he came across someone who he underestimated very much . It was Yami Sukehiro who beat the shit out of him but instead of handing him to the authorities he gave Zora a cape of the Black Bulls with an offer to join his squad .

After leaving the cemetery Zora walked the streets of a town in the common realm . He wore his signature mask along with a 'praying mantis ' cloak he picked up from a certain someone who wasn't doing his job properly .
On the way he picked up a conversation between two people that three major robberies have been done in the last two months in this town . The magic knights that patrolled this area were reported about this but there have been no leads so far . Even if they have suspicion on the magic knights they can't blame him as it may backfire .
'This looks like a job for me ' thought Zora as he approached the people that were speaking .
" Excuse me, can you tell me more about the incident , I am a magic knight dispatched to investigate this matter " . Although Zora had a very crude way of speaking , he had learned to speak in a gentle manner when it was required .
Seeing Zora approach , the two people happily explained everything they knew about the incident . Surprisingly they didn't even once suspect the magic knight that patrolled this area because that guy was apparently very friendly and helped a lot of people . This made Zora more suspicious .
Zora thanked them and sat down in a busy pub to gather his thoughts .
"Seems like the thieves only target people who are wealthy . The magic knights they talked about patrols the area regularly . He should know a lot of people in this area and most probably the level of wealth . Seems like time for another hunt " Zora took out a notebook and started scribbling what his next steps could be .
At another end of the busy pub a red eyed boy who wore simple clothing was watching Zora scribble in a notebook .
'~ oya ~Looks like I came across someone unexpected ' thought Julian as he sipped a cup of coffee
' I thought I would be alone in the investigation but seems like I found a company '
