Isekai: The Eight Soul Fragments

Serkyrio returned to his office and began checking all the documents that have been compiled on the table. He then channeled his inner spirit and brought out a form of magic people wouldn't have ever known. "[Omniscience]" In that time, everything had slowed down as Serkyrio began reading every single document that requires his approval. "Farmland procedures, banking, adventurer's guild advancement..." He took in the keywords of each document and immediately organized them with skillful hand movement. Before long, all documents have been compiled while one person with long, smooth, black hair called out to him. "As expected of you, getting all the documents done that quickly." She had a slim and petite body shape which was similar to Charnet, but her height is somewhat close to Serkyrio. "Well, it's something you get used to when the time comes. It'll be handy if you keep working on most of the things without much issue. As my secretary, it would be something rough to handle at first but there are four of you for a reason." Serkyrio, having three secretaries to assist him with his daily work, organized all the documents neatly. After performing thorough checks on the documents, he dispelled his ability that he used to mainly focus on everything all at once. "As for the ones that need my approval, the three of you should know which ones will be good to deal with now right? But be sure to let me know if there are ones that require an audience with me as well." Serkyrio brought out his laptop and began typing down the logs that are needed to be dealt with immediately. He then signed off a few papers that are good to be worked on now. "Jess, do you mind sending this to Andreus?" The black haired secretary, Jess Palestine nodded and took the papers Serkyrio handed over, she then left the room quickly. "I wonder about my secretaries... Hopefully, spring will come for them but I don't see that happening pretty easily. Jess is close to Draxus and Arlesk, Sera is close to Draxus and Remuel, while Josephine is close with Arlesk and Remuel. But I don't think they would end up with either of them three. Seeing as those three have a harem... Ish? It's unlikely that they'll get closer than just close friends. Oh well, one day they will get some guy on their own." Serkyrio finished inputting the logs while muttering things and closed the laptop. Arlesk then entered the room after about thirty seconds. "Yo Serkyrio, I got a report of the progress." Serkyrio smiled a little and opened his laptop once more. "Details." Arlesk then began his report to Serkyrio regarding the progress of the construction. "We have finished around forty percent of the residential district. At this rate, we'll be completing everything in three days primed but we're running a little low on materials. So I'm wondering if we're going to continue once we get the next batch of mats." Arlesk sat in the chair in front of Serkyrio's table. He then tapped on the table while waiting for Serkyrio's answer. "You might have to wait for the next batch of mats to arrive, but seeing as it will extend the time, just take it as a break until the next set of materials will come." Serkyrio then added more information to the logs as Arlesk continued his report. "By the way, there are people that come with behavioral problems at times, but Draxus's [Sentinels] or the [Knight Order] under Richard pretty much deal with those kinds of idiots pretty easily." Serkyrio immediately remembered something important regarding the two groups. "By the way, how are the [Sentinels] that are training under Draxus? Do you think they're prepared to undergo operations by themselves?" Serkyrio has assigned two groups that will maintain order in the towns. One group consists of a standard knight order that has been thoroughly trained to protect the populace. This knight order was handled by Richard as he thought the recruits who were invited from various countries without a problem with race or social standing. The knight order is often mentioned as the [Imperial Order of Peace]. The group which is referred to as the [Sentinels] under Draxus is a specialized group that are trained directly by Draxus. They are taught high level combat and strategies, espionage, information collecting, and are meant to be sent out to various countries to perform missions. They are basically a group that's one level higher than the knight order as they are sent to various dangerous missions. Unlike the knight order having around 150 members, the [Sentinels] are only numbered less than 30. Their official name is [Order of the Crystallized Sentinels]. "Yeah, as far as I know, Draxus had trained the members quite well. If I compare the abilities, I think there are three that are already capable of fighting against an enemy hero one versus one." Serkyrio immediately let out a convinced voice. "Hoo? Then that means we can send them out on their first mission already? But I have some other ideas first. So finish your report." Arlesk continued his reports which described various things that had occurred in the two other districts. He received reports from Harold and Remuel of the research progress, Jaquinn from the accounting department, and reports from people who are acting as ambassadors of various countries. It was a favorable development that they had wished so far so Serkyrio sighed out of relief. "Hmm, considering that things have been doing great so far... I have an idea where it would be a lot easier to identify which is which. We're selecting twelve people, three from each of our sides to become high level nobility. They will work under us so we can only select from those who we trust completely." Arlesk pondered for a bit as there was pretty much almost nobody that he could choose. "It doesn't have to be people from this world, we can just name the other guys that are working in this castle. In fact, I'm thinking of choosing Andreus, and Richard to become two of my three candidates. Since we're disregarding gender, you may freely choose those that are under you. As long as you trust them of course." Arlesk pondered for a bit while leaving it with an unclear answer. "I'm not sure who to place yet but I guess I will put Jaquinn and Collin." Arlesk then left the room after discussing a few more things with Serkyrio. After a while, Serkyrio then left the room and had lunch with the other members.

Around in the afternoon, Serkyrio moved back to the open air area after getting some potatoes and some simple cooking equipment and ingredients for sampling later. He went to the young lady and asked if the ones assigned with her are around. "Yo, are the others here as well? I'll teach you simple snacks for the time being." After gathering her friends, the female group were taught by Serkyrio on how to prepare some simply snacks using potatoes. After chopping the potatoes up to long rectangles, Serkyrio placed them over a small pan to fry them lightly. After some time, he moved the pieces of potatoes and deep fried them in a different cooking utensil. The second he deemed it was good, he took the pieces of potatoes out and laid them out on the plate. Serkyrio then sprinkled some salt and took a bit into his mouth. "Aight, it's good. You can keep the cooking equipment needed for this, I'll send someone else to add more recipes later since I have some inspections to do a little later." After leaving the area, Serkyrio looked for Draxus for some important things.

After some time looking for Draxus, he was found on the shopping district with Julie. Serkyrio came up to them and began talking to Draxus. "Hey Drax, seems like you're heading around somewhere?" Draxus got a little surprised with Serkyrio's sudden appearance but responded immediately. "Ah! Yeah, I was just going around shopping with Julie." Julie bowed lightly and greeted Serkyrio. "Good afternoon Your Majesty." Serkyrio waved his hand a little and immediately brought business to Draxus. "Drax, have you gotten some training into the [Sentinels]?" Draxus nodded for a bit while responding. "Yeah, did something come up?" Serkyrio took out his phone while showing a recording. The recording was something that took place in Omnidaxius kingdom, in the video was Begona Wallowhart, Chris Jefferson and Elliot Herlon Scatherion in suspicious clothing. "These three have been instigating various people to deliver hate to us before we developed the country. I would like the [Sentinels] to investigate this matter at once. However, you are to dispatch some members for this." Draxus nodded and immediately accepted the mission that was given. "I understand, I'll discuss this with the order." Serkyrio smiled and gave Draxus and Julie further details of the recording. "These three are a considerable threat and a party that can defeat a hero. Their location is currently unknown, but it's likely that they're lurking in the countries under the alliance. They are also accompanied by many members of the [People from Earth]. The operation will be dangerous for them, so I'll make it light for the requirements to complete it. I want them to know the whereabouts and future location of the three. That will be the minimum, it'll be best if they died though. I'll give a reward suitable to the actions they'll choose." Serkyrio then left after discussing more things with the two. He returned to the castle and made preparations on the operation for the [Sentinels].
