A man is sitting inside the carriage. The horse is pulling the carriage in one direction and it is very fast.
His front half hair was white and half hair was black his eyes were calm and deep like a deep sea his eye color was light blue he was wearing a white coat and back cape which looked very simple royal in appearance.
My name is Ethan Walker, I was going to the Largest Training Centre in the entire Human Empire.
I am First disciple of Wisdom Sage and currently working as head minister of the Empire.
In just a few months so many people have died in that training centre in a strange way. The good thing is that no heroes (students) were hurt and they are not known to the news, this is going to affect our greatest plan.
He looked at the Imperial Degree in his hand.
I have to investigate this case carefully because before me there were 4 people who came to solve the case but they were all dead or in unstable mental condition.
In the Main Hall.
Commander Darius office.
He was looking at documents and files.
Then someone opens the door and comes in.
Commander Darius asks him without looking in front.
"When will the Royal Minister arrive here?"
"Were you waiting for me?" His voice is calm, smooth—like still water hiding depths.
When the commander hears the question in return, he raises his head and looks ahead.
Entha Walker.
The commander stands up from chair, gives him a respectful greeting and tells him to sit down.
"Leave formalities Commander Darius, let's have a proper conversation about death." he said in a firm voice.
The commander Darius also sat down on his own chair.
He leaned forward, "All the dead bodies we have found so far have one thing in common and that is extraction." His voice was low.
Ethan's blue eyes narrowed.
"Show me the files. Every detail. Who saw what? And you hide this well from students(heroes)."
Entha was reading the document of death bodies carefully.
When these dead body was found, there was no mana energy inside them at all.
Whenever there is a Summoning, the people who are Summoned get some skill and rank, that too according to their mental (will power) and physical strength.
Information provided by Commander Darius about Demon Empire Summoning and their spy.
"Commander Darius is sure about the spy," he asked.
"Not 100% but maybe 20% sure," he replied.
"Why?" Entha asked again.
"Think carefully about how this will benefit you. This is a clear statement, "Demon Empire" behind all this mess."
"But still we cannot ignore the rest of the species(Elv, Dragon etc)."
"Whatever your point, we cannot ignore the fact that whenever a dead body is found out their always strange Aura and prime suspect Demon Empire."
Entha started reading about that strange Aura found around dead bodies.
"Some people had come here before me to study this case. What did you say when you introduced them to the students?" he asked without looking at him.
Commander Darius replied, "they're new staff because the old staff was gone to visit their family back to the Empire."
Entha looks up at the ceiling.
"Old once means dead; they're already meeting their family in heaven." he said in a cold and calm voice.
He looked at him, "introduced me as their new instructor, don't reveal my real identity to anyone."
He looked at him, "introduced me as anew instractor and as for my bodyguard introduced him as Prime Minster."
"What, are you sure about this."
Entha smile and say, "if he was killed then it's was a Spy or If he were kidnapped then it means killer among the heroes(Students)."
Darius frowned.
"You suspect the students?"
Ethan leaned back in his chair.
"If someone tries to kidnap the 'Prime Minister,'" he said,
"it means they want information."
"Information about the secrets we are hiding from them."
Darius' jaw tightened.
"You are using your own bodyguard as bait."
Ethan looked at him calmly.
Ethan looked at him calmly.
"In war, truth only appears when pressure is applied."
He stood up slowly.
"Let us see," he said quietly,
"who reacts."
Outside the window, the training field could be seen.
Heroes were laughing and training.
But somewhere among them…
Someone might already be watching.
Main Hall – Afternoon
All the heroes were standing in line on the training ground.
"What is the announcement today?"
"Why did Commander Darius call from mid of training."
"I think it is a special announcement."
Commander Darius stood in front of them.
Beside him stood Ethan Walker.
Behind Ethan stood a tall man in black clothes — his bodyguard.
Darius spoke loudly,
"Everyone listen!"
The students became quiet.
"From today onwards the Prime Minister of the Empire is joining the Training Centre."
Some students were surprised.
"Prime Minister?"
"Why would he send someone here?"
Murmurs spread among them.
Commander Darius points his hand towards Ethan Walker.
"This Prime Minister's assistant is going to teach you all about strategy, formation of war and other things."
Some whispered quietly among them again.
"He looks young…"
"Is he strong?"
"His clothes look simple."
James crossed his arms, he was not impressed by Ethan Walker. He thought, what is the point of learning strategy when in war only one thing works is raw power and strength.
Jack looked interested, this way we can put less effort in war and make big wins using strategy. He thought.
Jessica watched silently.
Ray was standing in the first row among them. He thought, It's strange that there have been so many new instructors within a few months and some of them have gone to meet to thier family in Empire, I think they are gone missing. And Prime Minister come to investigate.
Maxwell shrugged casually.
Everyone had normal reactions and he him but their only one who reaction was not normal—
Tom Saviour.
He was standing at the back in row, his face was calm as always but his eyes were saying something else…
For a single moment his eyes—They became cold.
Like something deep inside was watching back.
Ethan was looking around all the heroes(students) but suddenly his eyes stopped on Tom.
Their eyes met just for a second.
Tom's expression returned to normal instantly.
Like nothing happened.
System give Tom notification.

Ethan looked away.
