I'm really a serious wizard.

Chapter 25: The Brutal Ranking (Please Read)
Father?

What does he want from me?

Mr. Knight, who was scared by Ron's trick, felt quite uneasy.

Although people's XP is free,

But no matter who you reveal this to, you must never reveal it to your family and friends.

"It seems I still haven't fully mastered the virtues of courage and sacrifice..."

While reflecting on himself, Fernando had already put on his silver armor with gold patterns and a silver-white armed sword slung around his waist.

He followed the guards, illuminated by the fire, through the huge barracks made of black stone bricks, and came to the other side of the fortress.

It was a building located in the center of the new fortress. It was completely black, nearly twenty meters high, and its walls were as thick as those of the fortress.

Ten huge stone pillars carved with countless knights stand in front, adding a touch of divinity to this headquarters built a hundred years ago.

Fernando knew that this headquarters was built in imitation of the "Temple" of the Reinhardt family.

However, compared to the source of all the knights' power, the command center in front of them is still too small.

After calming himself down a bit, he stepped into one of the command rooms.

"I heard you lost the battle?"

Before Mr. Knight could stand still, he heard this question coming from behind his desk.

"Father, the enemy is too cunning..."

"waste!"

Before Fernando could finish his words, he was scolded and hit on the head by a heavy book.

In the command room, a middle-aged man with burnt yellow hair and scars all over his face walked quickly.

He pointed at Fernando and shouted angrily:

"Foolish, are you preaching chivalry to your enemies?"

No, I didn't even take off my armor during the duel, but that guy was even more despicable than I thought...

Mr. Knight wanted to defend himself, but looking at his angry father, he swallowed his words.

"I'm sorry, father..."

"Feel sorry?"

"When did our Upton family ever have a wimp like you?!"

The middle-aged man roared angrily, stood up and kicked Fernando into the wall with a "bang".

The armor with a silver background and gold patterns was like paper, and a large part of it immediately dented.

"Fernando, I'm so disappointed in you!"

"I've taught you since you were little to be a qualified 'lone wolf,' but today you're like a wild dog, being driven back to your kennel."

"The reason why the family has been able to hold onto benefits within the Legion for generations is because they are ruthless enough."

"If you want something, you have to grab it, rob it, and earn it with your own hands!"

"Use whatever means necessary, no matter the cost, to make the enemy feel our terror. Only then will they not dare to provoke you."

"Over the past few hundred years, our family has produced heroes, criminals, and countless scum, but never a wimp!"

"And I, even I ascended to power by stepping on your grandfather's corpse. Among all my ancestors, I'm one of the top three in terms of cruelty!"

Looking at his father's proud expression, Fernando stood there in a daze.

He had heard these words since he was a child, and he tried his best to be his father's pride.

However, if you want to leave a ruthless ranking in the family tree, it depends on your talent.

Whatever the means, whatever the cost...

He murmured his father's teachings in a low voice, and suddenly he felt a very vague bottleneck.

This was his limit, the bottleneck that had prevented him from making progress for many years.

This directly led to Fernando's ruthlessness being only at the lower-middle level of bullying men and women and using missions to seize other people's property.

But today, he was different from the past. It was as if a light appeared in his heart, and he had a vague understanding.

The blond boy's words were so clear, and his shameless and unscrupulous behavior made Mr. Knight shudder with fear.

People cannot teach people, but things can teach people once.

Fernando
Enlightenment! At this moment, he felt how childish and naive he had been that afternoon.

He just ran away in disgrace after being verbally threatened.

Just a few XP, what's the harm even if everyone knows about it! ?
Just like my father said, as long as he is cruel enough, no one dares to mess with him!
"Father, I finally understand what you mean!"

A ferocious smile appeared on Fernando's face, and he felt that he was now terrifyingly strong.

It turns out that being despicable and unscrupulous is so satisfying.
Seeing the smile on Fernando's face, the middle-aged man couldn't help but feel relieved.

Once upon a time, he also showed the same smile to his father.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" He frowned, his tone without revealing any emotion.

At this moment, Fernando could no longer suppress the perverted desire in his heart and grinned:

"Father!"

"I will tear the man who humiliated me in two, no, I will capture him alive.
Invite nobles who have that hobby to hold a dance party and let them play together.

This will not only strengthen my relationship with the nobles, but also allow those who humiliated me to experience what ruthlessness is!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded slightly, thinking that this idea could only be passed with some degree of certainty.

However, Fernando did not stop, because he remembered the figure that haunted him.
He took a deep breath and no longer concealed the perversion and evil in his heart.

"Father, I want to snatch the woman I love from you!"

"I'm going to capture her 400-pound daughter, drain her flesh and blood bit by bit, and force her to obey my orders!"

?

The middle-aged man was stunned and seemed a little unable to react.

But before he could say anything, Fernando slapped his chest with his right palm and shouted:
"Father, I can't wait!"

After saying that, he didn't care about the middle-aged man's reaction and pushed the door open with a domineering look on his face.

My daughter weighs over 400 jins. At what age can she grow to over 400 jins?
And her mother must be around 5 or 60 years old, right?

Bigger than me!

Hey, wait a minute.
The middle-aged man grasped the air with his hands, and only then did he understand the message revealed in his son's words.

But as he looked at Fernando's back, he couldn't utter the words in his throat.

This child might actually save the declining Upton family.

[You are practicing the art of illusion. Your illusion proficiency is +1]

[Illusion (Beginner 1/100) Note: Indistinguishable from the real thing, but refusing to answer questions!!!]

Under the golden and red moons, Ron looked at the panel showing his successful practice and secretly cheered himself up.

"I hope there won't be any more problems with the magic this time."

The boy prayed silently in his heart while carefully studying the notes on the panel.

Immediately, he cheered.
Great!
It is undoubtedly a good thing for a refusal to turn into a defense.

Although the corresponding will likely lose the ability to transform into a dead object,
But it is much better than having to resort to defense.

The blond boy felt deeply grateful for this.

Suppressing the excitement in his mind, Ron did not study this magic immediately.

The most important thing now is to break through the mage apprenticeship. Only by becoming a formal mage can he have the power to protect himself in this dangerous world.

Like Fernando, Ron also has his own bottleneck.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began the simplest meditation.

"Illusion" was like the last drop of water filling a bottle, and at this moment it suddenly triggered the magic power in Ron's body.

The magic power seemed to surge in his body, making him feel warm.

At the same time, as his mind concentrated, the boy vaguely felt clusters of flame-like light appearing around him.

Those are the abstract and conceptualized holy light elemental elves.

These lights spun around him, as if to say—

Come on! Big brother who is learning magic!

Feeling the peace of mind in the young man who was favored by others, he felt a strong power surging in his body.
