"They want us to go? All of us?" the monk asked. "No, the three of us. We can't send all the hero candidates there; it would be stupid," Meg said. "That makes sense. I want to see this new demon king that is causing the issues, and if he is as strong as they say," the black-haired guy said. "Well, we leave tomorrow, so get ready," Meg said and left the place.

Assassinate the demon king candidate. If he dies, we can have an upper hand in the coming generation," the man said and slipped a small bottle of liquid to her. "It took all the best poison practitioners and mages to craft a poison powerful enough to even knock out a hero. For this kid, it will be very lethal. You just have to find a way to make a little of it get into his body. He will slowly weaken and die soon after. There exists no cure to this poison, and by the time you return, that demon will be dead. They will want to start a war, but when they check him, the poison would have left his body using a mana-vanishing method. So there's no proof that you killed him. You have to do this, and if you succeed, your chance of being the leader of the heroes will rise," the man said. She nodded her head and walked away, not looking aside or away at all.

Now that all the humans were in the capital, they needed to start training some sort of army that would aid them. But most of them lacked any sort of training, and even the beasts that he called part of his army were not really trained enough to be a real army. All the humans that had stayed here had accepted the beasts and demi-beasts because, after staying some time with them, they had come to realize that they were similar. They weren't some sort of barbaric life forms as many stories portrayed. They could be civilized and also live normally and cleanly. Under the leadership of a dragon like Silva, no one wanted to cause any trouble. They all knew that Silva was very much a ruthless person who would eradicate them in a second. The recruitment method allowed for both males and females, and they were going to be trained in a method that was vastly different from what this world knew. Silva wanted to make soldiers and not just warriors. He wanted to make his force elite and well-trained because they were lacking in numbers, so he would make it up in quality.
