Zack looked up at them and glared, he did not like it when people disrupt him when he is doing something.

"Now, now, don't be so cold, Zack. " Julius said.

Zack went up on stage and told everyone down in the audience, "Some of you have probably been told that being a knight is an easy task, why wouldn't it be? You just have to kill monsters here and there. Now, throw your imagination out the window and come to reality. The knights have two big threats to deal with, the demon lord and F. If you think you all are getting paid to slack off, leave and go die for all I care. Secondly, I would like to comment on some of your fighting skill. Some of you have no reflexes, always swinging randomly. Some of you don't even have skills, like Jason's son, just because you are a son of a captain, don't think you are any better than anyone else. That's all. "

The crowd kept quiet for awhile before a few shouted, "Who the hell do you think you are? "

Zack left the stage and went back to his seat. Jason commented, "You really know how to work up a crowd, don't you? "

"This is everyday life for me in The Nameless Shadows. After all, we have to be strong to survive. " Zack said with a hidden longing tone.

Alex was inspired. After everything, Zack had told him to meet him at the Grand Railway the day after.

On the way out, he could hear people muttering about his white hair. A particular group went at him. Alex easily dodged their punches and ran away. He had always had a belief that knights should not harm others. In a few moments, he was back at Zank's bar.

Alex explained everything to him as best he could. Zank congratulated him and threw a party for him. Alex ate, drank, and joked until he fell asleep on the spot.

The next day he said goodbye to Zank and thanked him for everything he had done for him. Alex rushed to his shack and packed the few belongings he had. At the Grand Railway, he saw Zack waiting for him at the entrance.

"Sure took your time, didn't you? " Zank said.

"Sorry sir. " Alex apologized.

"Loosen up a little, just call me Zack. We don't do formalities in The Nameless Shadows. " Zack said and went ahead.

Alex had no choice but to follow him.
