The noble scion and his companions speculated that the Sword Saint had been promoted to Sword Saint status under such circumstances before the contract had ended, which is why he continued to follow a tactical-level magician as an attendant.
If the individual had only been a seasoned swordsman before forming the contract with the tactical-level magician, then serving as an attendant to such a magician wouldn't be beneath his status.
Of course, generally speaking, even if a seasoned swordsman wanted to become an attendant, they would choose from among strategic-level magicians, unless the person was extremely wealthy or had an extraordinary status.
The middle-aged knight thought of this possibility and inquired with the noble scion.
"Have you investigated the origins of that mysterious tactical-level magician?"
The answer, naturally, was affirmative.
