The ranks in the 5th class are member< Chevalier< Second-rate-knight< Knight. The knights in this class have an average level range of 5-30. 

The 4th class is composed of first-rate-member< first-rate-Knight< Officer. The knights in this class have an average level range of 50-100.

As for the 3rd class, it has companion< second-rate-commander< commander. The knights in this class have an average level range of 150-350.

Since first-rate members and first-rate knights are under the 4th class, the young knights in Chago's cell feel that their potential should lead them to a much higher ranking than this one, and are willing to break some rules to prove it.

"That's half-decent, and I hope you do much better in the future. There will be no point in any of this if don't, that aside, I believe you can do better than this." Chago didn't change the monotone in his voice and just continued sounding completely uninterested.

"These results are the best we can do in our current situation, as we lack both the authority and the free time to improve any faster, that unless you have a method to help us grow even faster." The red-haired young man replied calmly but with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Oh, how could I forget that knights use the lower-ranked ones as chore boys... Anyway, I can't help you any more than I already am, if you want to grow faster you have to put more effort into it." Chago yawned with boredom written all over his face right after answering the young man.

The red-haired young man's eye twitched as he looked at Chago but he didn't say anything. The fact that Chago and the other prisoners treat him and his companion as if they had no value is something he knows won't change so easily, even so as the top 2 among the newbies, it hurts both's pride.

"Guhk!" Just as Chago stopped, the green-haired Young man vomited a black liquid similar to what one would see in a horror movie when the spirit gets exorcised of the victim.

With both hands on the ground, the green-haired Young man let out a worrying amount of the black liquid before getting up and cleaning his mouth before leaving the cell with tired eyes and a sluggish body, each of his steps looking quite awkward and his posture being worse than that of a teenager fixated on their phone.

The puddle of black liquid on the floor then begun to rise and moved towards Gilpin, more specifically his gem and all of it disappeared into the gem as if sucked in by something.

"Good stuff! Gilpin will get all the good stuff!" Gilpin was smiling while looking at the now even filthier gem.

Chago completely ignored him and focused on the red-haired young man, who just like his companion sat in front of the old man going through the same process.

Once it was over the red-haired young man got up and walked towards the cell's exit while Gilpin's gem sucked up all the black liquid that came from him as well.

Once both young men were outside the cell ready to say their goodbyes while containing themselves to not complain about the treatment they get, something felt wrong.

"What is going-" the green-haired Young man was asking but mid-sentence all of his senses began to dull as he fell unconscious.

"YOU OLD BASTAR- !" Right after his friend, the red-haired young man fell unconscious mid-cursing.

"I know I'm an old bastard, you don't get where I am being some 'Righteous knight'... Just a bunch of fairy tales for the young and idealistic." Chago answered then sighed before turning to Gilpin. "You really should go get the keys and open the cells before those old fools start making noise, I have an encounter with a young monster." Chago informed Gilpin before leaving the cell and heading deeper into this prison.

"But Gilpin doesn't want to be hit or worse!..." But Gilpin's words fell on deaf ears as Chago didn't even bother trying to listen and just continued on his way. "Boss is too evil, Gilpin will have to move fast. No one can catch Gilpin!" 

Just like that Gilpin became a green flash as he unlocked the cells one by one at unprecedented speed, not even going the convicts a chance to react.

...

In the central area of the prison, Chago walked in a corridor with poor lighting, and after an awful lot of walking, he was met with two doors, a big one and a small one.

The big door had the same color tone as the cell bars being greenish while the small one was silver having a more typical look, that aside the big door was full of symbols and paper tags with even more symbols, giving it a very ominous aura to it.

Chago stood there looking at the big door for a while. "Why do I have a feeling about that door?... I haven't felt this uneasy since I was in the Magic Academy of Sage Gustav... It's no time for me to be reminiscing the past."

Chago shook the feeling away and focused on the small and once again his fingers were covered in a red aura. He used his left hand to grab his own nick massaging it oddly, and his right hand was sent down his throat. This kind of scene would make those who watch it feel uncomfortable and even feel weird on their own throats out of empathy, but Chago didn't stop and went in deep.

Somehow not triggering his gag reflex, Chago pulled his right hand out with saliva and blood covering half his arm and his hand now holding a key. Different from the sphere keys that the guards brought with them, this one was a more 'traditional' key or rather a more antique type of key.

Chago used the key on the small door and it clicked as the door opened reviling a man with long and dirty looking hair and the prison uniform, unlike the other who at least had some freedom to move, this guy was chained to the wall in a rather sacrificial looking way and if one didn't know they would think this man was about to be crucified.

"Eeeech, they didn't go easy on him, but that was expected after the stunt he tried to pull. If he wasn't talented those children of tomorrow bastards would not have cared if he died... Talent truly is what separates people from monsters... How I envy the youth of such a generation." Chago approached the young man and made his comments while sighing.

Not losing any more time he used the key to unlock the chains rather easily.

"This key of keys is a scary item... I understand why they wouldn't want its existence revealed, but I went through a lot of trouble for it... This is what I get for accumulating debt!" Chago wasn't worried about the man and didn't bother trying to catch him when he fell on the floor.

"He's still not awake! Maybe he's not as tough as I thought. Oh well, you live and learn, I'll wake him up the old-fashioned way." Chago was surprised the man was still unconscious, so he moved closer, and his right hand once again got the red glow, then he slapped the life out of the man.

*Clap!!*

If it weren't for the fact the walls are made of unusual materials that suppress sound, it would have echoed through the whole prison.

"Aaah!" the man shouted in surprise, pain, and shock as he got up and distance himself from Chago immediately, before calming down a bit and observing his surroundings to access the situation.

"You already made me waste a lot of my chi! And I don't have much, to begin with, so, please stop wasting my efforts. If I could use mana right now, I wouldn't mind playing with you kid, but I'm not up for that right now." Chago waved his hand displaying his disinterest in what's happening right now.

Before he even gave the man any chance to reply, Chago throw the key of keys at the man and said. "Give it to your boss and tell him we are done with this, I had better things to do than wait 10 months for some hero summoning ceremony! But I did what he asked, now he can go f*ck himself or go get drugged with some monster girls far away from me! Just don't die before reporting that." 

Chago didn't way for an answer and left.

"Did I just got rescued by our contact?... I can't waste any time right now, I'll worry about that guy later!" The man didn't waste time as lightning covered his body and he moved out at high speed.

Up ahead, the old man Chago was calmly walking back to the cell area.

"Maybe I should try and convince those two to help me... No, there's a low chance they'll help. All they care about now is that damned fish kingdom!" Chago talked to himself not minding his surroundings too much and trying to decide how to proceed in the future.

Suddenly a blue spark of light passed by him with a lot of energy emanating from it.

"Kids really don't have any patience or politeness, can't even say thank you." Chago commented while shaking his head then got back to his thoughts.

....

"I should be closer to the exit by now." The man continued moving covered in lightning and he quickly reached the cell area.

"Gilpin is done, somehow they didn't try to trouble Gilpin... Maybe they were in a hurry? It doesn't matter, Gilpin will wait for the boss." Gilpin had just finished freeing everyone when he saw a blue spark coming his way. 

The spark got closer but he didn't worry, he was now confident since Chago probably had everything under control.

"Wow fast, Gilpin would-"  before he could finish his sentence a fist was planted on his face and he was sent flying a few meters before hitting the floor.

Gilpin was knocked out cold and didn't move after that.

"Why are all the prisoners out?! Did that crazy old man really do something like this?! Is he completely insane... I don't have time for this, I can only hope the guards will find this one." The man looked around while speaking, then left with a blue spark once again not losing any more time.

Later the old man finally got to Gilpin and found him unconscious.

"Which idiot took the risk? Was it the kid? What a headache this going to be when he wakes up. I better get out of here as well, before it's too late." Chago picked Gilpin up and went towards the exit passing by the two unconscious guards. "I guess I destroyed these two's chances of rising in ranks, it's a pity, they could have actually gotten somewhere. It will serve as a life lesson for them."

Chago honestly believed that he's teaching them something important and that they were too naive to think he would only give and never take.

Chago left the prison and the place become silent and peaceful.

In the central area however something unusual happened, some of the symbols on the big door began disappearing, while inside the room, immense darkness and nothing to be seen, but then a movement! A single glowing eye opened and looked around trying to understand its surroundings, but it soon closed once more letting the darkness once again dominate the room.

....

In the forest far from the Raphinel's royal Castle Noir Palace, there is a clearing hidden by vines and thick vegetation.

Two people are staring at each other without uttering a word, one of them has a lightning cloak aura around him slowly dissipating and the other has a black and white uniform containing a coat, pants, boots, and gloves, finally concealing his face there's a white mask with red patterns and one eyehole for the right eye only, with his spiky wine color low and downwards hair.

"I didn't expect the wine man himself to come just to get me." the man coated in lightning said as the last sparks disappeared. His hair was purple and his eyes ocean blue, he's still wearing the prison's clothes, and his body looks skinny and not very muscular or toned but the air around him would bring awe to most normal people as he carries the dignity and honor of a hero, even in his tattered state looking no different from a homeless man, people would still feel compelled to rely on him with troubles beyond their ability, that's something not many could dream to accomplish, it's the kind of thing people will say 'You're either born with it or not' and many see it as a special kind of charismatic aura that can't be gained, you have or you don't, at least that'd how most people see it.

"What can I say? You look like a trustworthy hobo." the wine man said in a mock-like tone filled with sarcasm but buried in that sarcasm is an ounce of truth. "Don't worry too much much, we both know I came for the key, hope you didn't lose it in one of your crusades for justice, oh great hero of hypocrisy."

The man didn't answer and simply throw the key at the man. "So, do you have any missions for me? Or am I allowed to go on my merry way?" Not bothering to mention what was said before, he asks with a solemn expression on his face and a calming stable voice. 

"You're no fun as always, and don't get going just yet. This time you got yourself a big boy job for grown-ups only." The wine man didn't change his tone or bother trying to pretend he cares, he said it slowly and as if talking to a little child.

"What's the job and where is it" As if used to this kind of behavior the man just asked two simple yet important questions.

"It's actually your favorite type of murder mister HERO, it's otherworlder hunting and you're not going to believe where it is, do me one for the old times and guess it. Don't let me down, spark boy." The wine man explained with an emphasis on the word 'HERO' and even changed his tone from mockery to playfulness.

"If you mean the Noir Palace, I'm not going back there, at least not now, and even if I dared, I can't touch the heroes right now, they still have their uses." Spark boy replied believing the wine man to be joking around and exaggerating things to make fun of him.

"Oh please! We both know that's the easy answer and it's not even right. Why would we send you there now? Like you said it's not their time yet. Now do your old buddy here a favor and actually try this time." The wine man insisted on playing the pointless game making Spark boy roll his eyes, before responding.

"If it's not the heroes then I have no clues, it's very unlikely I'll even come close to getting it right. Just tell me, I'm sure you have better things to do than waste time on this, so why not make it fast?" Spark boy proposed hoping the wine man will just stop it and they can move on.

"Truly no fun, it's in the Silverheart territory, apparently another rare case like the one in the blood forest appeared again. You'll have to get the rest of the info from our contact in Morvik, and remember to not get too close to the Silverheart mansion unless you want to die, that is." The wine man leaned on a nearby tree and seemed to lose all interest in the conversation and focused on his thoughts.

Spark boy didn't wait for more words and left just like he came, and the wind man just stood there, acting as if the world around him didn't matter.
