'[Yair Cangani] [Warrior Lvl1]'
'[(Royal blood)]'
'HP=20 || MP=1'
'Agility=4 || Strength=20'
'Intelligence=7 || Luck=1'
'[Resistances]'
'Physical=4 || Magic=0'
'Poison=0 || Curse=0'
'All of his status points were reset at the time of class change, concentrating on HP and strength as well as increasing his physical resistance. In other words, it has more life, is stronger, and takes less damage.'
'In addition, this caused his intelligence to decrease.'
'With all this, I already know how to defeat him.'
'"Hahaha, I told you! Now, draw your sword or else you will die!"'
'The Yair in front of me, looks like a fight-loving brute.'
'During all this time, I've been barely blocking his attacks, since his current strength is twice my own. I originally thought he'd get tired but, based on his state, I have to say that it won't be the case.'
'He swung his sword, apparently to the side, but actually attacked in a vertical line.'
'I quickly dodged to his left, and clubbed him in the chin.'
'Normally, there would be a pause in his movements, but now, he reacted immediately by swinging his sword horizontally. Before the sword reached me, I jumped to his back and hit him on the back of the head.'
'Yair: "!!!"'
'It seems this time the attack was successful as his movements slowed down for a few seconds. I took the opportunity to give him two more blows to the back of the head.'
'He fell to the floor on his knees.'
'"The knight has already dispatched us, it's time to go"'
'"You dare to leave in the middle of our duel?"'
'ahh, the class change really turned him into a fight lover. Though he said similar phrases before, this time he said it in a villainous tone… It's better to leave while I can.'
'"Well, since you wish! Throw me my own sword!!"'
'"As you command" replied a noble nearby.'
'This made me curious, so I turned my head to see…'
'[Tempered Steel Sword] [Slot: (Holy Path)]'
'[Sacred Way]'
'[The true path of a holy knight. Only usable by masters of the Cangani Sword Style. Lvl1 needs warrior class. Lvl2 needs knight class. Lvl3 needs holy knight class]'
'I knew it! Royal blood couldn't be weak!!'
'I had a hard time handling the fight before, because of his strength. If he adds that skill, now, I'm afraid that guy will really have a chance to hurt me!'

'I quickly wielded the club… I aimed at the sword in the air… And threw the club.'
'Both, sword and club, collided successfully. Both of them were sent flying for a few meters.'
'I'll miss you, cudgel, but my real sword is in the inventory.'
'While others went to collect their belongings from the magic-guarded box, I simply walked out of the knight order.'
'What happened to Yair?'
'He went to get his sword. Apparently, he came to his senses when he saw his real sword disappear into thin air. While he was chasing his sword, I controlled the UI and left a mark on his blue dot with the name [Yair Cangani], so that I would never run into him on the road again.'
'***'
'[Emir Lvl15] [Class: None]'
'"Everything in order, you can go out"'
'"Thanks"'
'I did a little experiment. Since the vast majority are still inside the facilities of the knight order, the queue to get out is small. So, like any other, they confirmed my identity with the magical identification object.'
'The result is in sight. The knight could only identify my first class, while the second class was invisible.'
'[Emir Lvl15] [None] [Adventurer Lvl1]'
'I've always wanted to check this out. I originally planned to do it on the first day of the test, but the long queue put me off, and the shout 'Come this way without queuing' tempted me too much. During all this time, I have had those two active classes and, only today, I was able to quench my thirst for curiosity.'
'Time to bring back Survivor Lvl2.'
'[Warrior Lvl1]'
'Emir: "…"'
'Well, let's recap.'
'I opened the class window, and [Warrior Lvl1] appeared at the bottom of the list.'
'End of recapitulation.'
'Hey Hey hey! What happened?'
'Didn't I look up to the sky a few minutes ago saying 'Parents I failed you', and now, suddenly the class shows up? Although I did not say such a thing, that did not make the moment less emotional. There was even a final battle with an all-powerful Yair-…'
'Emir: "…"'
'Well, it makes sense.'
'The only thing I haven't done, is fight someone with a warrior class. So… that was the last trigger? Should I go back to the knight order now?'
'Emir: "…"'
'I don't know why, but seeing that I actually have the class took all the joy out of me.'
'During these 7 days, I felt imprisoned. At first, the room looked like a cell. Second, the room smelled like fart. Third, there are no toilets for commoners. Fourth, Yair.'

'Why the fuck would I go back?'
'Bye! See you!'
'***'
'I walked peacefully through the streets and avenues of the capital, Altamira. The air seemed so comfortable to me, the noise of the people seemed so melodic. I even missed those people who looked down on me just because of the clothes I wear.'
'Because right now, I'm wearing the same clothes with which I arrived in the capital. Yesterday, after Stella left, I really burned my high-quality clothes that didn't seem high quality anymore, and put on the ones stored in inventory. It was the first time I felt so good about burning money.'
'In my state of peace of mind, I arrived in front of the blacksmith Erick's shop.'
'"Well, what do we have here. The renowned knight has come to assess my weapons"'
'While Erick was talking to an employee, he noticed me and said such a phrase with a smile on his face. It is the first time that I see an employee. Perhaps they only appear very late in the afternoon, or for the night hours. I knew that the capital is alive 24 hours a day, but I never thought that Erick would join this trend.'
'"Do you want me to identify some weapons?"'
'"Actually, I didn't. I just say it as a greeting"'
'"…"'
'"The truth is that the tempered steel sword with three free slots still keeps me entertained. Hundreds of runes, thousands of effects…I haven't been able to sleep with excitement... Oh, by the way, I'll introduce him to you. He's my slave, Jack"'
'So, the employee is actually a slave. He bowed slightly in greeting as I nodded. Jack has dark brown hair, he's 2m tall and he's a bit overweight. What's peculiar about him is that his arms are very muscular.'
'"Well… Show me your knight's badge"'
'"I don't have one. While I did the test, I realized that being a knight is not my thing"'
'"Hahaha, I knew it! Didn't I tell you that time? You have the face of being an adventurer, my eyes never fail" Erick laughed, at the same time that he hit my shoulder noisily.'
'"Haa… But you realized it at a bad time" Erick said.'
'"Mm? Why do you say that?"'
'"I think you may have already heard about the conflict between the two kingdoms, the thing is... That day I sent you to the slave trade, these slaves were on off prices. Their prices dropped a lot last week!"'
'I have a bad feeling.'
'"But now, the slaves not only returned to their normal price, but increased in price. Some even doubled!"'
'Nooo!'
'My masochistic slave!!'
'"So, you only have two options in front of you: form a group of novice adventurers, and increase their confidence over time. Or, you can wait a few weeks for the price of slaves to settle."'
'Oh, what a bad time. That time Erick sent me to the slave trade I thought he did it to change my view of slaves. I never thought they were on off prices! I'm sorry for doubting you Erick!'
'Now, the question is how much has that girl's price gone up to?'
'I just pray to god they can't identify that [Masochist Lvl1] in her state, otherwise her price will skyrocket!'
'After talking for a few minutes with Erick, we said goodbye and I walked in the direction of the mail service. I chose a homing pigeon, similar to the one from last time, and wrote what happened in the knight test to my parents. I also told them about my desire to be an adventurer. Of course, I skipped all content related to obtaining a slave.'
'Once the pigeon was sent, I headed towards the hotel. There, the receptionist tried to start a conversation with me, but I excused myself saying I wanted to rest.'
'Already stretched out in bed, I looked up at the ceiling.'
'Nooo!'
'My masochistic slave!!'
'No no no. God, please no.'
'I rolled over in bed.'
'Cof Cof… Alright, let's think rationally.'
'I clearly remember that Leo said 'more than 50 gold coins' and, at the time, it was just a guess. So, its price that week must have been somewhere between 50 to 65 gold coins. Now, suppose the normal price without offer is 80 gold coins… so, this week, its price must have risen to…'
'A white gold coin.'
'And that in optimistic calculations.'
'The slave Alessia only arrived in the slave trade that day, so, there should be some preparation time before being shown to the public, being that the case… There is a high probability that she was only entered the catalog this week.'
'Who could shell out a white gold coin overnight?'
'No, not even the nobles can.'
'Well, now I can sleep peacefully. Tomorrow, I'll talk to Leo.'

Shared Universe with my other story, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/41575/the-archivists-petty-revenge Also posted on Scribblehub. Based on the description of traumatizing content, it's worth noting that this series normalizes tax evasion and other such crimes. Also is vaguely GirlsLove-ish.
