Unexpected Reinforcements

[They hired such powerful and crazy mercenaries for a lone Outer Academy Student from Akegria Academy. It seems as though they really see me as a threat to them] thought Damian to himself.

[I do hate the idea of nobles, but as Clay and the Spear Wielding Mercenary have shown me, not all of them are bad and many suffer and live terrible lives. It isn't my role to judge and execute them as I please, but if they come after and threaten my safety and that of those that I care about, I will strike them down no matter how powerful they are] 

The mercenary group leader clearly saw Damian as a mere plaything and despite his power, his intention was clearly to see how much Damian could struggle before he died.

After hearing that a lone student that was injured was able to kill a royal academy student, severely injure another and also had an unusual, intelligent and powerful Monkey Beast Pet, how could he not be interested.
