Not A Hero
Eps. 11 - Lord Savior
“Commander Loyd! Thank goodness you survived!”
Many people who worked on the BIK immediately flocked to welcome Loyd back with his four remaining soldiers, once they arrived.
Escal pulled over from the crowd, as he preferred calmness. Lean on one of the walls and cross his hands.
No one knows if he is examining the success of the mission he is working on.
...___...
...Successfully save Commander Loyd and complete the mission perfectly!...
...The gift got!...

The screen turns into multiple Skill options that Escal can select. Some Innate Skills from Eternal Ice Control.

“Actually all the Skills I can get are very good, let alone the Lord of Jealousy. But Mana and time are still a little less. too much to sacrifice.”.
Escal reflexes hold his chin when thinking. Still thinking about which Skill he wanted to take as there was only one chance for now.
Luckily he is a Warrior, a human who is summoned by the Arveous God and has a system.
Otherwise, it was possible for an ordinary human to have a Level increase as quickly as that. Rising to a Level 12 Human in just four days, it was almost impossible for any ordinary person to be able to do that.
But it was actually natural for Escal to reach that Level.
Although the system helped him, but he still tried with his own efforts. Fight with enemies higher than his Level from the start, and practice every time he has free time.
If it continues to be maintained, it is not impossible for Escal to become a Demi God who is the highest level of human Evolution.
When Escal was in the dilemma of choosing the New Skill he wanted to take, someone approached him. Escal closed the screen of the system, then turned his head towards someone who came to him.
A blond man was combed back, dressed in a neat suit with a fairly tall body and quite handsome, the receptionist that Escal had previously seen, Nick.
“Looks like your job was a success, Mr. Escaleon. Even Commander Loyd was saved along with the four remaining soldiers. Although their condition can be said to be not good, but they survived. Your solution is absolutely perfect!”
Nick praised Escal's work. It was really unexpected that if he succeeded, he could even bring Commander Loyd back.
Previously he had hesitated, because there were many Riders who accepted the mission and always did not return, even the name was not heard again.
But he remains grateful, including the people at BIK and the citizens of Viell City because Commander Loyd often helps them and enjoys mingling with the people.
“It's my job. But you didn't just come to say that, did you?”
Nick nodded, “Of course. I want to call you to pick up the prize, let's follow me.”
Nick slightly bent down then stepped his feet first, Escal immediately walked following him from behind. The two of them went to the private room of the manager of BIK Veill Branch.
The door opens, Nick and Escal enter the room. There was already someone there, a large-bodied and looking middle-aged man still dashing with a scar on his right eye.
The clothes he wore were almost similar to Nick's, but more luxurious and more royal accessories were pinned on him. A sign that the rank is already high in the organization.
“I come bring Mr. Escal, Chairman.”
Nick bowed respectfully in front of the man, while Escal just silently stood up while paying attention to the interaction of the two.
Without saying anything, the man stood up from his seat and walked over to Escal. His expression seemed fierce, so that unconsciously Escal raised his level of alertness and focused himself in case something happened.
“Thank you very much! Mr Escaleon!”
An unexpected thing happened, the big man bowed ninety degrees in front of Escal.
Struggling a few times, Escal did not understand what was happening right now. A really unexpected thing was done by the big man who looked ferocious.
“Hahaha! Sorry for my attitude. My name is Harold, BIK Head of Viell City!”
The man only introduced himself after some time later, he let Escal sit while Nick stood not far beside him.
“Escal.” Short Escal without saying much, but Harold was not offended at all.
“You're really quiet huh, Escal! It's okay, you can act all you want to me! Let's just say this is my smallest form of thanking you, Lord Savior!”
Harold said with a burning spirit and occasionally laughed, very energetic and friendly even though his face was slightly unsupportive.
“Master.. Rescuer.?”
Escal repeats Harold's call for him, feels very strange and of course Escal doesn't like it. As a cold-blooded assassin and feared for his ruthlessness, such a phrase was completely unsuited.
“Of course, because you are Commander Loyd's Savior! If you don't mind, I'll tell you something!”
Without having a chance to answer anything, Harold immediately told me about the lives of two friends who passed through joy and sorrow until they reached a level that was respected, on Escal.
One became the BIK Manager and the other became the Commander of the Royal Army.
Without thinking hard, Escal knew that the two were Harold and Loyd. Only, after hearing Harold's story until it was completely finished, Escal got a shocking fact.
Where the figure of Loyd who is respected by all circles and well-known is one of the relatives of the King, and once became the Teacher of a 'Warrior' who managed to stop the Disaster, Grim The Twin Phoenix.
According to his explanation, people in the Vixcell World who have been forty-five years old will return to the age of 30 years when the disaster has been defeated.
Then after ten years later, a new Disaster will appear and the new Warriors are summoned to Vixcell, while the old Warriors who are still alive lose approximately 97% of their strength.
Causing them to be unlikely to re-participate, since the Arveous Gods had deliberately sealed their power to stop expanding.
Usually the old Warriors start to enjoy their leisure time, or stay in a secluded place for a break.
But if there are new Warriors who find them, it is not impossible if the old Warrior is willing to give his knowledge if the successor has things that he thinks fit him.
So in the World of Vixcell, as it has been spread 'tradition' between the Warriors and the Disaster that will come later resolved.
Even so, the Era where the Disaster appeared and darkness began to be seen, still made the world become a ravage. Beyond what is in everyone's shadow.
“..Yeah, so! The point is I'm so grateful to you Mr. Savior!”
Escal, who had heard Harold call him 'Savior Master' holding his head which inexplicably hurt, waved his hand.
“Call me Escal.” He said again for the umpteenth time.
Yet he suddenly looked at Harold with a slightly changed expression, suddenly recalling one explanation that he thought was incompatible with reality.
“From your story, Commander Loyd is a relative of the King right? Then, why didn't he himself send an army to rescue the Commander? Isn't that weird enough? At least, in my opinion.”
Escal immediately expressed his opinion, no matter if it sounded like insults or not.
But to himself what he said was already very polite, as he called out to others using 'Hiau'.
Harold didn't look angry. He actually let out a long sigh, “Insting and your observations are very good yes, Mr. Savior.”.
“Actually, Aireest Kingdom was in a Crisis some time ago because the Earthvill Kingdom had suddenly declared war.”
