Caesar followed the excited Musashi down the long corridors and they soon approached a strange cellar located in the very far back of the mansion.

Musashi squatted down next to the cellar and put his hands on the steel slab covering it, he breathed out a deep breath and a strange violet strand of mana entered into the steel.

*creak*

Suddenly, the cellar door split in half and opened up, revealing a large set of stairs leading downwards… Musashi turned his head around and smiled back at Caesar.

"Come on, we don't have much time until we start our weekly training session!" Musashi said, and without waiting for Caesar's reply, he started hurriedly walking down the stairs.

Caesar shook his head with a wry smile and followed him down, the air was musty and the cellar was slightly dark, the amount of oxygen was also much less resulting in it being harder to breathe.

This uncomfortable atmosphere continued for about 30 seconds until finally, Caesar walked down the entire seemly endless stairs… He could see Musashi standing in front of a jail cell while beckoning him with his hands.

"Sigh, this old man is a weird one" Caesar sighed in exasperation and observed the underground cellar.

Lit torches hung on the side of the wall, perfectly illuminating the four or so jail cells in the room… the air was clearer than it was on the staircase, however, it was still humid and uncomfortable.

As Caesar was inspecting the surrounding area, he soon reached the jail cell.

"Oi, Ronny, wake up… you got a visitor" Musashi called out, interrupting Caesar from his thought and causing him to look inside the cell.

A man with a long and unkempt hair greeted his eyes, he had an unshaved beard, filthy rags, and a half-eaten potato in his hands… After hearing Musashi's words, the unkempt man raised his eyes.

*plop*

The potato in Ronny's hand fell to the ground and his eyes widened in surprise, he visibly shuddered as he crawled backward as if he wanted to escape a rabid beast's grasp.

"Hmm, that's weird, he's never had this reaction before… do you two perhaps, know each other?" Musashi asked curiously while stroking his beard.

Caesar closely examined the man in the cell for a few seconds before shaking his head, "I don't recall ever meeting him, and besides, most of the people I know are in Rahvin kingdom… how would they get all the way over here" Caesar spoke with traces of doubt reflected in his eyes.

Ronny visibly calmed down once he heard Caesar's words, he reached out for his potato and continued eating it.

"Haha, I've tried letting him out a few times but he just stays inside here… At first, he detested it, but now, he doesn't want to ever leave" Musashi said with a chuckle… he wasn't so cruel as to lock up a man for an extended period of time just for trespassing, alas, he didn't have much choice in his current situation.

Caesar nodded his head in understanding and reached for the jail cell, he broke the lock with his raw physical strength and opened the cell.

*creak*

The cell opened and almost immediately, a foul stench assaulted Caesar's nose, Caesar, as if he knew this would happen, expertly moved his slender fingers to the bridge of his nose and squeezed tightly.

He approached Ronny and squatted down next to him, he peered into Ronny's sky blue eye for a moment before nodding his head and patting him on the shoulder with his free hand.

Caesar stood up and looked back at Musashi, "it doesn't seem like he has any disabilities, in fact, I would even go as far to say that he is acting this way just so you continue you give him food for free" Caesar spoke nonchalantly as he exited the jail cell.

Musashi was at a loss for words but Caesar soon continued.

"As a great man once said, if you want to eat, you shall work. Thus, I recommend we invite him to that weekly training session you were talking about… if anything, he could at least become a foot soldier" Caesar said with a sly smile.

His words caused Ronny to shake and Musashi to nod his head, "indeed, I can't just continue giving food to someone that doesn't work when even our soldiers are going hungry" Musashi replied after some thought.

"Excellent, I will be waiting at the training grounds for your arrival" Caesar responded and quickly made his escape, he didn't want to be near the jail cell any longer than he needed to. The Stench was beginning seep into his clothes.

Musashi glanced between Caesar's retreating figure and Ronny's filthy body before sighing deeply… " I've been played," he said with a scrunched up nose… it was even worse for him since his sense of smell was superior to most races.

Musashi walked into the jail cell and grabbed Ronny by the waist and hurled him over his shoulder, Ronny attempted to resist, however, his flailing arms and legs posed no threat to Musashi.

"Boy, you need a bath!" Musashi couldn't help but shout while running up the stairs, he wanted to reach a body of water as quickly as possible.

"Whos fault is that for not letting me bathe!" Ronny couldn't help but ask indignantly, possibly the first words he has spoken since he first got captured.

"Hmph, why are you, a human, in the dark continent in the first place, anyone would have placed you in a jail cell… it's extremely suspicious!" Musashi replied angrily

"Y-you don't understand my pain! I just wanted to escape from that damned marshall, I traveled so far, in hopes of never seeing his face again… BUT SOMEHOW HE HAS APPEARED IN FRONT OF ME AGAIN" Ronny roared at the top of his lungs while tears streamed down his face.

"Haha, so you did know him!" Musashi said with realization.

"You're laughing now but just you wait, I thought he was just a good looking guy that was absurdly strong for no reason, but I was wrong! His true colors come out when he's training people… he is sadistic, evil, and a man who would make us run laps until we coughed up blood" Ronny spoke as if he was telling a scary story.

"I can't say you haven't piqued my interest, I will have to give Caesar a shot at training our troops at this weekly session, even though it's normally me who does it," Musashi said while stroking his beard.
