Pablo told Draxus that all he did to convince Sera was a pat on her head.
And Draxus, like the sharp lad he was, squinted his eyes.
"Are you sure?" He said.
"Yeah. I just told her my side of the story and she agreed. Don’t worry about that." Pablo lied.
"If you say so." Draxus also let it go.
"But isn’t this mansion big? Nice place to live." Pablo commented or more like he changed the topic.
"Well this is the house of the Count after all, Boss." Flashy spoke. He also moved on from the shock of Pablo’s refusal to marry Sera.
"Anyway, let’s go. We are joining the military." Pablo started walking.
Draxus and Flashy walked on either side of Pablo and Cupid floated behind him.
’Is her Angel with her?’ Pablo asked Cupid.

"Yes. And he is asking the girl what happened." Cupid replied. She didn’t have to talk through her mind now. No one could hear her other than Pablo.
’And? Did Sera tell him what I did to her?’
"Obviously, no. She said nothing happened and her face is all red. She is love stricken for you."
’Good to know.’
Pablo didn’t speak after that and all of them finally left the mansion.
They had met some guards at the gate but no one stopped them as they were coming from inside the mansion. They figured Sera must have called them.
All three of them walked down the street, it was a bright sunny day.
Pablo shoved his hand inside the bracelet on his left wrist and took out three white papers.
He passed them to Draxus.
"Write in these papers that by the recommendation of the Count, we should be allowed to join the military. Write three of them. Use our names too. Pablo Castillo, Flashy Rail and Draxus Maverick."
Draxus held the papers and gawked at Pablo.
"How can I write while walking? And I don’t even have a pen."
At that, Pablo put his hand inside the bracelet of his right wrist and took a pen.
"Use this. I stole it from Ego Reserve. And go inside my shadow to write."
"Oh. Right. I can go inside the shadows. I forgot that. Well, later." Draxus’ waved his hands, saying bye and vanished in an instant.
Pablo saw his shadow and he noticed no change in that. It remained the same.
’A perfect skill for an assassin. It would have helped me a lot back on Earth.’
"Why don’t you copy it then?" Cupid suggested but Pablo shook his head.
’I can only copy one more Ego. I have a peaceful one and the next I want is a violent one. Something that can kill.’
"I should have known. Do all you ever think of is killing?"
’No. Sometimes I think of torchering as well.’
Cupid rolled her eyes and Pablo just chuckled.
"Say Flashy, where is the camp of the military anyway? I am just walking blindly." Pablo asked.
"Oh. I have no clue either." Flashy gave an honest answer.
"You mothe-"
"It’s at the end of the city. Just keep walking straight and you will reach there in two days at minimum." Draxus’ voice came. He saved Flashy from getting abused.
"So you can talk from inside the shadow as well. Nice." Pablo liked it but when he paid attention to Draxus’ words, he stopped in his tracks.
"It will take two days to reach there? Why?" Pablo didn’t have that much time. Well, he had time but he still wanted to do things as fast as possible.
"Because it’s at the end of the city. It is a very big field. It is even bigger than the academies where children learn to harness strong Egoes. You will understand once you see the camp." Draxus answered.
Pablo let out a tired sigh and looked around.
"I don’t want to waste two days just to get there. Flashy, prepare a carriage for me. A carriage driven by a fast man. Do it now." Pablo ordered.
"That’s easy." Flashy went to the other side of the road and walked straight towards an empty carriage standing outside a shop.
A man was standing near the driver’s seat, eating chicken like a hungry beast.
He was making all sorts of sounds from his mouth and Flashy couldn’t care less about that.
He went behind the man and dived right into the matter.
"Hey, muscle man. We need you to take us to the military camp as fast as possible."
The man turned around, eyed Flashy up and down and then again went back to his eating.
"What the hell? Don’t ignore me like that." Flashy retorted. The man didn’t take him seriously.
"It’s fine. I’ll handle it." Pablo arrived beside Flashy. "And you should only open your mouth when your eyebrows are back. No one will take you seriously like this."
"Fair enough." Flashy took a step back and now Pablo was standing behind the man.
"Turn your head here or that would be the last thing you’ll eat." Pablo straight up threatened the burly man. He could have asked nicely but since he had Sera’s lucky Ego with him, he wasn’t afraid. Or even if he didn’t have that Ego, he wouldn’t have been afraid anyway.
The burly man turned around again and this time with force and speed. Pablo’s threat worked.
"How dare you s-"
"I will give you one thousand coins. Take us to the military camp as fast as possible." Pablo offered money before the man could start a fight.
Flashy had told Pablo that the carriages driven by men were expensive and by expensive Flashy meant five hundred coins. So Pablo just offered double money and brought the man’s attention.
As soon as Pablo’s words registered inside the man’s brain, the man’s behavior turned upside down.
"Please, have a seat inside the carriage, my lord." The man showed respect towards Pablo and gestured his hands behind the carriage.
Though, the man kept eating his chicken.
"I will give you a thousand more coins if you stop making those eating noises of yours." Pablo said. The chomping was getting inside his head. It took all his will to hold back the urge of killing the man right there and then.
The man heard Pablo’s offer and he instantly threw the leg piece away.
"I stopped eating altogether, my lord."
Pablo nodded and with Flashy, he finally sat inside the carriage.
"Move as fast as possible." Pablo ordered.
The man gave a nod and held two poles sticking out of the carriage.
"If I may ask, why such hurry for the military camp? Why are you going there, my lord?" The man asked out of curiosity.
Pablo stayed silent for a second, his body flinched violently and while holding his own hand, he answered the man…
"For revenge."
