"Huhh.. New skill.." Mumbling to himself, Noah pondered for a second and starts to randomly walk around at a relaxed pace not knowing where actually his study or even his beloved exquisite bedroom is. Seeing each of the expensive-looking paintings and vases decorating the hallway with some warm light from the vintage lamp. [Now, how to check my skill?]

[So I've two divine skills...Sighh. I don't even know how to use it. Should I try testing it..?] Noah somehow reach the center of the garden with the rain still pouring heavily and falls into him.

Noah's Study, 3:15 a.m.

[Finally....I'm here.]

"Godness!! Young Master, why are you drench?!" Arthur who is expecting Noah's arrival at any moment is shocked to see he(Noah) soaked.

"I'm playing outside." Noah nonchalantly answered.

"...In this weather, Young Master...?"-Arthur

"Yes." He grabs the towel from Clara. "I'm going to change and the most casual one, please"

"Yes, Young Master." She immediately walks out to get the clothes. Although she is worried about Noah's unusual behavior after that incident, she must do want comes first.

"Is that all the paperwork?" Noah takes a glance at the double-story library cart that is full of documents. [Hahaha... This's a little more than I imagine.]

"Yes, Young Master. There are one-month reports from our territory. Others are about nobles invitation, the investigation report from the incidents and the unknown organization." -Arthur

"Alright. Prepare some black tea. I'll start looking through the paperwork once I change." -Noah

"As your command, Young Master." Arthur soon disappeared from Noah's sight, he faintly sighs before soothing and literally melting on the sofa, ignoring his uncomfortable wet attire.

[I'm not going to use that until I'm able to take full control of it again later...]

[....]- Noah

[...]- Also Noah

"I want to sleep..." Next, he picks a random paperwork from the cart.

[ It's not a complete list...] He's looking through the list of people in the unknown organization. [They are mostly male but...] Noah pondered all of the information for a while before starting to frown. "The head is a teenager... his subordinate too..." Right at this moment, Arthur came back with the black tea. "Arthur, how old is the oldest?"

Arthur is confused for a second and notices the document in Noah's hand. "He's 19, Young Master."

"Mmm..."[This's getting really complicated...] "Arthur." -Noah

"Yes, Young Master."-Arthur

"What about the belongings of the deceased?"- Noah

"They have been given to their families right now, Young Master." -Arthur

"Then, make sure to give them some money of the deceased 3-month salary working in this mansions, and if there are any orphans among the deceased..." Noah falls silent for minutes.

"...." Arthur also patiently waits for the young master to convey his thought on this matter. This has already happened multiple times too since he has been serving the young duke for roughly 13 years.

"...Using 1 year of their salary to the orphanage and winter supplies for them. Give it to the only needs. Make sure the sly and dumb merchants didn't even try to take it."

By 'sly and dumb' he means the one that sells them back in twice the original price in the market. Noah is sure Arthur knows what he means, he capable person if you ignore his crying voice. 

"As your command, young master."- Arthur.

 When Clara approached with his new set of outfits, Noah immediately change his clothes and began to work on other paperwork there. As time goes by, there's only the sound of writing on paper and yummy chocolate cookies churches in his office.

Arthur and Clara silently excuse themself from Noah's office, doing their sub-tasks before their Young Master's breakfast in the morning.

"Come in."
