"Lord Duke, this is your adjutant's armband!”
A female member of Team One handed Duke an armband. Duke looked at the armband that the other party handed over. There was a straight " 1 " on it, which represented the team name of Team One. There was also a simple picture of the team flower, chrysanthemum, below it.
"Sigh!"
Duke took the armband and played with it for a moment. He sighed and said,""I didn't expect it to come to this.”
The female team member didn't dare to make a sound. Duke shook his head.
He had been in hiding for ten years. Once he was exposed, he was immediately promoted to the position of adjutant.
Although this position was convenient for old man Yamamoto to monitor him and prevent him from causing any trouble, in the eyes of others, he was extremely envious.
After all, Duke had walked the same path that the other members had walked for hundreds of years.
In order to become a captain or vice-captain, strength, integrity, awareness, and determination were indispensable. Of course, the most important thing was opportunity.
Without opportunities, one would never be able to become a captain or vice-captain.
To outsiders, Duke had encountered an opportunity that belonged to him.
However, Duke would rather continue to guard the gate than be an adjutant.
"Help me put it on."
Duke threw the armband to the female player, who carefully helped Duke put the armband on his left arm.
"Next is the funeral of the former vice-captain of the team, Suzaku Minojiro. Please be sure to arrive on time.”
After reminding Duke, the female player left Duke's dormitory.
After the other party left, Duke picked up the sword that was placed at the side, stood up, and sighed." I still like the nine-to-five life before.”
"Tsk, how did it come to this?”
"Alright, stop complaining."
The white-haired Fujimoto Juushirou walked along the edge of the room and came to Duke. He had his hands tucked in his sleeves and a gentle smile on his face.
"You've been lazy for ten years. It's time for you to take responsibility.”
"I'd rather continue to be lazy and be a gatekeeper.”
Duke stood up and inserted his sword into the belt on his left waist.
"So, now it's your turn to spy on me?”
Duke and Fujimoto Juushirou left the team's dormitory together. After Duke left, someone immediately brought Duke's bedding and luggage in.
After all, Duke's identity was sensitive, and he had to be under the constant surveillance of old man Yamamoto.
"What you said is a little hurtful. As the captain of team 13, I have to build a good relationship with the new vice-captain of team 11 so that I can hand over my affairs in the future!”
Without changing his expression, Tsukutake Juushirou took the nail from Duke.
"Ah, alright, alright. Then, I'll take care of you in the future, captain Floating Bamboo.”
"Sigh."
" No!" Tsukutake Juushirou shook his head. He could tell that Duke really didn't want to be an adjutant. He would rather be a gatekeeper.
Although he could see it, he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't put himself in Duke's shoes.
After all, the education he received from a young age was to be a responsible person who wholeheartedly contributed to the balance between the Corpse Soul World and the main world.
Duke's ideas were at odds with the current ideology of the entire Corpse Soul World. To put it more seriously, he was a deviant.
The strong had to take responsibility!
This was the consensus of the entire Court Guard Squad 13.
He wasn't like Duke, who would hide his laziness after becoming powerful and didn't want to take on any responsibility.
The strength that Duke displayed shocked everyone.
After that, the captains saw the video of Duke killing the invader named Dolisk Belch.
The first Dao Breaking skill heavily injured his wrist, and he casually slashed it in half.
The other party didn't have any room to fight back at all, especially Duke, who had shown a relaxed attitude during the battle. This made all the captains even more shocked.
The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the location of the funeral.
Because it was a special period, everything was kept simple. Therefore, the funeral of Suzaku Minojiro was held in a large school field.
When Duke and Tsukutake Juushirou arrived, they attracted a lot of attention. Many of the powerful figures in the 13th Court Guard Squad were paying attention to Duke.
However, the focus was a little unlikable.
Many people thought that Duke was a coward who didn't take responsibility. After all, in the Corpse Soul World, the concept of the strong being first existed. When one became stronger, one naturally had to pursue better things.
This was an instinct and an unspoken rule.
But Duke did the opposite.
"I'm strong, but I won't show myself. I'll just hold it in. I won't tell you. I'll just be a salted fish.
Duke's actions were also believed by many to be the cause of the death of Sparrow Minister Jiro and his 100-plus team members.
You have the strength but you don't accept the challenge. You have to see everything go to the extreme and only attack when you have no way to retreat.
This was an escape, a crime!
Of course, some people were curious about Duke.
For example, Gengmu Sword Eight, Mao's Flower Lie, and Nirvana Cocoon Li.
The first two were curious about Duke's combat power, and Nirvana was curious about Duke's body structure.
Oh, as expected of Nirvana Cocoon Li, it still had the same familiar taste as before.
Duke quickly came to his seat and stood up. His hands were naturally hanging by his sides, and his head was lowered, revealing a solemn expression.
It was also at this moment that a solemn, low, and sorrowful drum sounded in the school field.
The old man Yamamoto stood in front of the wooden frame, on which was the body of Sparrow Head Jiro.
Looking at the body of Sparrow Head Jiro, the old man Yamamoto felt as if he had returned to the afternoon when he first met Sparrow Head Jiro.
........
"Here, Chief Yamamoto, let me be your right-hand man!”
"Brat, you're still too inexperienced!"
"Let the sword do the talking. Let me say this first, don't be shocked by me!!”
..............
Filled with grief and anger, Yamamoto Genyanagi raised his chin slightly and said in a deep voice,""Light the fire."
The torch was thrown onto the wood, and the wood that had been specially soaked in oil quickly ignited into a fire. The flames burned more and more fiercely, and soon swallowed the body of Sparrow Head Jiro.
Everyone lowered their jaws and closed their eyes in silent tribute.
After 15 minutes, the funeral of Sparrow Minotaku Jiro was over. While the specialists went to collect the remains, Duke and the others waited for Captain Yamamoto to leave before they dared to move.
However, at this moment, a burly figure appeared in front of Duke.
Looking up, it was actually Gengmu Jianba, who had a fierce face and long hair. At the end of each hair was a small bell that could sense spiritual power, and his right eye was covered with an eye patch.
"Hey, newbie."
Gengmu Sword Eight raised his head and said condescendingly,""Fight me!"
As soon as he said that, all the captains who were supposed to leave stopped and looked at Wood Sword Eight and Duke.
Grass Deer Eight Thousand Streams, who was hanging on Gengmu Sword Eight's shoulder, also laughed out loud." Ah, Ah 'Jian wants to fight again, hahaha!"
"Sorry, Captain Gengmu, I don't want to fight you.”
As Duke spoke, he was about to walk around Gengmu Sword Eight, but Gengmu Sword Eight took a step forward and said,"I said, fight me."
"Sigh, I knew it."
Duke clutched his forehead and said with a headache,""Once you are exposed, all kinds of trouble will come knocking on your door. Moreover, you are indeed the number one troublemaker on my list.”
"Hmm?" Wood Sword Eight frowned." Number one on the list of troublemakers?”
"What are you talking about!"
"It's nothing."
Duke waved his hand and said,""Captain Gengmu Sword Eight, to tell you the truth, I don't want to fight you, not because I can't beat you, but because I'm not interested in the position of captain of the Eleventh Division.”
"Alright, move aside now. I still have work to do.”
As Duke spoke, he walked around Gengmu Sword Eight, but Gengmu Sword Eight was stunned on the spot.
The rest of the team leaders started discussing after hearing Duke's words.
"This kid is really arrogant!”
"Not interested in the position of the captain of the Eleventh Division? In other words, he was confident that he could kill Gengmu Sword Eight!？”
"Is he really confident, or is he stupid?”
"The tradition of the Eleventh Division is to challenge and defeat the current captain to replace him. This kid is very confident!”
"Heh, looks like there's going to be a good show.”
"At this critical juncture, isn't Sword8 afraid of getting hurt by being so reckless?”
........
Clang!
Amid the friction between the blade and the sheath, Gengmu Sword Eight pulled out his sword without any warning. He spun it once and placed the sword horizontally on the side of Duke's neck.
"Heh, newbie."
A sinister and terrifying smile appeared on Wooden Sword Eight's ferocious face.
"Fight or die."
"Choose one!"
