Chapter 32 :Path (5)The Intelligence Department, Tello.
Even the person who recommended Tello to me didn’t seem to genuinely believe I’d choose it.
- Well, Tello’s a free-spirited organization! Once the probation period’s over, you can take on any mission you want! There are lots of people who travel the world alone!
- You know the Empire and our family don’t get along, right? So, most of the work involves the Empire. The rest is digging into the Demon Race.
- Tello’s great, but new recruits just don’t join… Still, that means strong people can quickly make a name for themselves! Of course, I’m not sure if someone who ranked first would choose it…
Compared to the pitches for other organizations, it was a hesitant invitation, but something in it struck me.
‘Demon Race tracking.’
It felt like the perfect organization for me, aiming to conquer Myeolji.
The freedom to move around was appealing too.
So, I chose the Intelligence Department, Tello.
The reaction wasn’t as explosive as expected.
No, people were too stunned to react at all.
“Hmm…”
A sound escaped the elder’s lips.
Until now, the elder had only listened to the Coming-of-Age Ceremony participants’ choices without showing any reaction.
Even this small response compelled me to add more.
“By joining Tello, I want to see the wider world.”
For fifteen years, I’d been confined to the 18th Autonomous Region.
I knew well that my goal, conquering Myeolji, couldn’t be achieved by building influence within the region.
I needed to create a force as great as, no, greater than the Adjak family.
I needed to gather exceptional allies from across the world.
“Tello isn’t a large organization. You may see the wider world freely, but it lacks the power of other organizations.”
I nodded at the elder’s words.
“I need information. Before breaking out of my cage, I need a guidepost.”
The elder didn’t react further.
But his eyes gleamed brighter than before.
He seemed more intrigued than angered by my decision.
“As I travel the world with the Intelligence Department, I won’t forget I’m a member of the Adjak family.”
Hearing my words, the elder gave a slight smile.
Then Keldric raised his hand and shouted,“Is it possible to change my choice? I want to join Tello too!”

Even after the elder left, the shock I caused lingered.
At Chilgong Fortress, not only the ceremony participants but also many influential figures from the family were present.akes it up, so it fell to me, but I enjoy it!”
“No, I’m interested!”
Demon Race tracking.
It was exactly what I wanted to do in Tello.
“How does Demon Race tracking work?”
“Your eyes are sparkling…”
I started pressing Nofen openly, despite his slight discomfort.
