Ner was trembling as she looked at the man called Robin Hood
The wolf smashed his mask, enabling Ner to see Robin Hood's face
She was a little curious about this mysterious man
But the truth struck her like a thunderbolt
Standing in front of her was a boy who seemed two or three years older than her, with white hair and gray eyes
She knew the identity of this young man immediately
This is Alexander Ford, the young master and heir of the Ford family
But why the hell would the heir of the Ford family work as a bandit?
This was hard to believe, so she stared at him intently to confirm his identity
But she froze when Alexander looked at her
She remembered the situation she was put in. her life was in danger
Alexander was robbing nobles and killing people. If this news spread, Alexander would face a big problem
So he was using the mask to hide his identity
But Ner had seen his face, and that made her a danger to him
She can expose his identity if she wants, then Alexander will be severely punished
If Alexander wanted to protect himself, the ideal course of action would be to kill Ner in this place
She accompanied Alexander for a short time, but she saw him kill many people without blinking an eye or showing remorse
To him, it was like killing a small insect
He didn't kill noble children or innocent adventurers, but that didn't mean he was a good person

Ner lowered his head and pleaded. "I...please don't kill me..."
There was a deep look on Alexander's face, but he quickly smiled gently as he approached Ner. "Don't worry, Ner..."
Ner winced when she saw him approaching her, she took a step back
Alexander stopped and raised his hands in surrender. "I won't hurt you. Didn't I tell you that I don't kill innocent people?"
Ner didn't let down her guard
But Alexander doesn't seem bothered by her stance. "You may wonder why I do these things. I do it for the purpose of training. You have seen for yourself my way of doing things. I kill those criminals who attack me.."
Ner was nervous, but she believed his words. She accompanied him for some time and was observing his actions, so she knew that he was not lying.
"I know that you are afraid of me, but you are a smart girl. You will not reveal my identity because that will cause you a lot of problems, so there is no point in killing you..."
Alexander was right, she didn't dare think of exposing Robin Hood's identity
Who would believe that the young master of the Ford family is a bandit?
Others would make fun of her if she told them
On the other hand, her life will be ruined if she does this stupid act. The Ford family will chase her everywhere, and it is not unlikely that the Ford family will target her family.
Even if she died here, no one would care
Her family will not be able to take revenge
Ner felt sad when thinking about her family. How would her father be able to provide food for the family with his simple work?
How will her younger siblings go to school if the family does not have enough money to pay for school?
Alexander was studying Ner's expression, he saw fear mixed with sadness and bitterness. "Ner.."
Ner's shoulders trembled when Alexander called her name
Alexander continued with a faint smile. "You are a talented person, are you thinking about joining the Imperial Academy?"
Ner was surprised for a moment, and quickly nodded. "I wanted to apply to the academy this year, so I was training in this forest."
Ner was hoping to be accepted into the Imperial Academy, because this would change her life
She will be able to increase her strength and receive an education worthy of nobility, and upon graduation she will obtain job opportunities that cannot be obtained under normal circumstances.
She may attract the attention of a powerful family, and that family will then recruit her
She is sure of her strength. She participated in many competitions, and won most of them. Although she was not the strongest talent within Cairn City, she is considered one of the best.
But...if she died here everything would be meaningless, that's why Ner was sad and unwilling
Alexander moved and pointed to the bag. "Come on, we have to leave, our work here is done..."
"Huh..?" Ner looked at him in confusion
Is he not going to kill me here?
Even though he said some kind words, Ner still couldn't believe that Alexander would let her go so easily
Alexander pointed to the bag on the ground. "The bag won't carry itself. Don't expect me to show you any mercy just because you saw my face."
Ner ran to the bag and carried it quickly. She did not dare to delay in carrying out his orders
Even if there was a slight hope that Alexander would leave her alone, she didn't want to miss this opportunity
She was walking a few steps behind Alexander
Alexander looked at her sideways. "With your talent, you will be able to enter the academy easily."
" Yes..". Ner didn't know how to respond to this sudden compliment, so all she could do was lower her head to hide her shyness.
"If you encounter any problem, you can come to the Ford family mansion. I think I might be able to help you."
Ner had a mixture of emotions when she heard his words, but she felt grateful and happy
This promise had a certain weight, because it came from the heir of the Ford family
Ner wanted to thank him, but Alexander extended his hand to stop her, looking straight ahead with a serious face
Ner knew that this expression meant that there was an enemy nearby
The two saw that there was a large group of people approaching them, they were wearing luxurious armor, and some of them were wearing city guard uniforms.
Soon one of the guards spotted Alexander and Ner. The soldier ran towards Alexander. "Young Master...thanks to the god Apollo, I thought that dangerous criminal had attacked you..."
The group approached Alexander and looked at him curiously
" dangerous criminal?..". Alexander asked
"Yes, a crazy bandit appeared, named Robin Hood, who was robbing nobles and killing commoners..."
Ner looked at the soldier in bewilderment
"...." Did he say Robin Hood?
