Chapter 7 - Nobles

I find myself in a simple dormitory with little furniture, just the essentials, but they are all of a high quality. I don't know if my dormitory is the most bumpy of the dormitories for nobles or if each nobleman customizes the simple room, there should be no lacking nobles who would waste it. hundreds of gold coins to decorate the room.

I am already happy with the bedroom furniture, I sit on the comfortable bed and start organizing my goals and future goals.

1: I must look for training methods in the library.

2: Find the school rules manual and study it to find its gaps.

3: Find out the cultivation level of the other students.

4: Find out the combat level of the other students.

5: Find a way to make money.

6: Invest in training and assembling my equipment.

7: I must find out about the factions and groups of the nobles and how to avoid being dragged into them.

8: Find candidates to form a hunting and exploration group.

9: Find information to understand the composite element of the ray.

After finishing my list of activities, I started exploring the school.

Many buildings that I can't enter I went through several training arias, but I finally found the library, but I couldn't enter because I didn't have the student ID that is delivered in the first class.

After getting nothing all morning, I went to the cafeteria, which appears to be the only building I can enter in addition to the dorm.

Entering it I see the clear separation of classes .

The commoners are all together and huddled in the corner of the room, while the nobles split into groups scattered around the room.

For the first time I see so many different races, I see few elves or will be the elven means I do not know how to differentiate them from some dwarves, but the one who has the largest number excluding humans are the beast people I see several ethnicities of the beast people.

I go after a simple tray of food and sit down at an empty table by the door.

While I eat the inquisitive looks I receive from various groups of nobles, most simply ignore me .

I may not dress like a noble but I am wearing pieces of a good quality leather maturity, I must not be different from the commoners since they have to pay to study I believe that most of them must have invested in solid equipment.

My meal is interrupted when two boys who dress in the same way as me sit in front of me.

"Good Morning. My brother and I can sit with you. "

Although it seems like a question the two of them are already sitting at the table, not that I care about that.

"Stay at will ."

"My name is Ulric Fenris ."

"I am Erick Holt and this is my younger brother Sten"

"So you are avoiding the noble Ulric factions ?"

"Yes. But I think I can say that you have the same intention Erick. "

I'll go straight to the point to find out your goal .

"I aim to be an adventurer and you?"

The brothers look at each other.

"I think we have similar goals, don't you think, Sten?"

" Maybe ."

It seems that Erick talks too much is Sten not.

"I come from a village close to the city and where do you come from ?."

"If we believed here in the city, we went on some expeditions with our father, an adventurer with an orange sign."

"You are very interested, I have never been on an expedition."

"Do you know anything about the noble factions?"

"Well to different groups and societies that the nobles are part of Ulric , but the city is divided into three major factions and are nominated by the families that are fighting for control of the city they are Eliure family of half elves, Menfis human family with some wild men is finally, the Vernos family, the only human family is the current mayor of the city. "

"The Vernos have the political stance of human superiority despite not marrying other races because it is against the law of the kingdom they distance themselves from any non-human and for those 'hired' by them for my debts are treated like garbage."

"The Eliures, on the other hand, do not discriminate against other races but are proud of the elven blood they carry, they are quite snobbish."

"And lastly, the Menfis are more popular with the commoners, they highly value any person who stands out in their irrelevant craft of his race is a family with the largest production and sales network in the city ​​they have many allies spread across the kingdom."

"I don't intend to join an Ulric faction. But if I choose one to be a friend, I would choose the Menfis . "

"What do you think about city politics ? "

Still absorbing Erick's information, I already realized that faction will stay as far away as possible, but I will not act until I confirm Erick's information with my own eyes.

"The politics of any place is complicated but my plans are to stay away from it has not changed. Thanks for the info Erick. "

"It is normal to help a colleague Ulric and from what I realized his family must have the same nobility as ours, basically the 'real' nobles come to us as more valuable pawns than the commoners but we are still disposable for them."

"But I think that the position of the three of us is to focus on getting stronger and for that we have to earn resources from the school, do you know any way to do this? "

"As far as I know the school exchanges resources for points, but I don't know how to get those points, I think that tomorrow in the first class, teachers should explain the school's points system."

One then we use points per resource is not money, this must be done to prevent the nobles from monopolizing resources using their families' fortunes .

"I am going back to my room to train for the rest of the day, during dinner we meet again Erick and Sten."

"It was a pleasure to meet you ."

"It was fun to make a new friend Ulric "

I say goodbye to the Holt brothers.

I went to my room, concentrated on my training just stopping for dinner, talked a little with the Holt brothers, but I only heard 4 words come out of Sten's mouth all day.

With the beginning of a new day comes the animation for the first class.

It didn't take long to find the room because there was a sign in front of it.

When I entered it I saw places for some 40 students. I wonder if the commoners attended any classes with the nobles.

It didn't take long to see the Holt brothers come and sit next to me. After a simple length it took another five minutes for the teacher to arrive in the classroom.

The nobles of the kingdom are very silent, do not start conversations inside the room.

The professor wearing a very similar outfit that yesterday's robot wore.

"Good morning students, I am Professor Dan Kreuz, you are my teacher Dan I am the teacher responsible for your year I will go to the fundamentals of mana in nature and answer your questions to the best of my abilities, but the school has specialized teachers in numerous areas and I will refer you to them in case I cannot answer your question.

"Our first class will be short after I distribute your plaques, you injected your mana or aura into it. They serve not only for identification but to charge your points and as a recorder that will record your deeds and permissions . "

"The school has several options to earn points from the reward for exceptional acts, for each test you have received points that vary according to your results, for performing tasks, for exchanging resources and for duels the points cannot be transferred from student for students without the supervision of an authorized teacher or employee, students must earn their points with their strength and intelligence, theft or theft of points is prohibited and there is a severe and immediate punishment from all parties involved, there will be no excuses or exceptions .

"Tomorrow the hunting exercise will be held in the emerald forest, you will be informed about your ability to survive, combat, teamwork, leadership, exploration and the ability to collect resources."

"You must prepare to spend a week in the emerald forest but I must make it very clear that you must not go deep into the forest or you have found death the arrangement of the groups I will leave to your discretion but remember all your choices influenced your grade."

"If you do not have the necessary equipment for this test, you can apply for a loan for the school."

"Dismissed and good luck."

I did not expect a survival test on the second day of school, but the explanation of the rules and purpose of the test are very open to interpretation.

During the test I will focus on locating natural resources other than hunting, the other students must form large groups to explore and hunt in the forest.

I must avoid the groups so as not to have conflict with them, although it was not a rule that prevents theft in the forest, there is one inside the school that shows that stealing resources did not help much in the final grade. But I don't know how difficult it is to hunt the animals of the emerald forest for safety. Maybe I should form a small group with the Holt brothers.

I went to them to question their plans and to invite them to form a group.

"Hey! Erick and Sten what do you intend to do about the test? "

"Hi Ulric I think we are going to form a small group for the test and you?"

"I think we should form a group of three more than that will hinder us in the test. If the group is large, there will be a greater chance of internal and stern conflict with other groups, I believe that our final grade will decrease. "

"Only the three of us can move faster and I think we will have no problem hunting down magical animals at level 1 and avoiding those at level 2."

"I see the logic of your argument but only in the three will it be difficult to have the ability to quickly kill several magical animals but killing 2 or 3 together will not be difficult but will it be enough to get a good grade?"

"If we add natural resources from the forest as healing herbs, we should get a good grade, the teacher said that the grade will be made of everything we do in the forest, not how many cores we bring from it."

"And I am very experienced in finding magic herbs. What do you think of my plan? "

Erick looked at his brother for something.

I waited for the dramatic break to end

"I agree with Ulric's plan."

I'm shocked! Sten pronounce an entire sentence!

"Well, since my brother agreed with your plan, let's check out our equipment and get together tomorrow to go to the forest."

"OK"

With that I formed a group with the Holt brothers. I went to check my equipment and prepare some rations for the first days in the forest.

Now I only have one night to rest and then I will be ready for the survival test.
