Chapter 48 - How to lie by telling the truth.

I wonder why I had the idea of ​​keeping all this ore in my room. It is really disturbing the elemental energy balance that I created in my room. affect gathering energy from the Earth element in the air of my guard Torris would love that, but for me it only gets in the way next time I have to remember to find somewhere to store materials that I steal.

I went over my last experiences in my head. I like to do this because it helps me to reflect on my mistakes and successes sometimes I even find a better way to deal with the shit that is played against me like being intercepted today in the woods twice. who left the city i'm persecuted this can only be attributed to bad luck or has some son of a bitch playing with my life.

I have to get stronger with the money I will earn with the ore we extract today can support me for a while since I decided to invest most of the money in my new diet the best way to speed up my cultivation and eat food rich in mana and elemental energy of the elements that I am compatible with the second priority and using magic herbs to accelerate the strengthening of my body only by strengthening my body will I be able to absorb more energy to elevate my cultivation.

But to be able to put all this into practice I will need money that I will only get after the auction that will take place at the end of this month, there are still eighteen days to go before I will have to continue with my current training.

But leaving these thoughts behind I need to focus on solving the shit that is coming my way, but I don't know if it is worth caring about the guard who probably sold information to the late Neithan's group I feel that if I insist on taking care of this kind of annoying insect i will spend a lot of my time as with my luck i believe i will be put in that victim position again, but on the other hand let this corrupt guard alive he can sell the information about Neithan's disappearance to the family and his allies and so we would be targets for revenge.

I can't forget the group of adventurers from the Alvis family. I need to find out why Hidis was behind me when I first explored the forest despite the chance that it is simply unlucky on my part and there is no special reason for her. having followed my tracks in the woods, I have yet to confirm this.

I can't take my guard since the Alvis family is related to the Vernos family, the idiot who lost to me, he was a distant relative of the head of the family so to win favor with them I became a target, I doubt that I am considered very valuable, but it is not difficult to try to screw up a low-level nobleman like me to please a member of the Vernos family.

But other than that, I think there is no one else targeting me except the person I felt watching me today despite not feeling the slightest bit of hostility from that person. I am still nervous about being watched by a strong person since I didn't succeed. locate her.

Just thinking about all this I already feel so tired I will need to work hard to solve all this and just thinking that next time I leave the institute I may be unlucky and end up getting a new problem.

But thinking about it will not change the fact that to solve these problems I have to become stronger today I was lucky that we were seven against Neithan if I were to face him alone I would end up dead I need to improve my current elemental arts and get new ones to complete my movements i still don't have a defensive or long distance movement, even with the improvement of my movement arts i am still very fragile if it gets hit maybe i can learn the defensive art of the wind element that i saw during the guild test it looked good simple and useful .

As far as I discovered the elements Fire and Wind are not very strong in terms of defense so an elementary defensive art should not be very common.

Maybe the third floor of the library has defensive arts compatible with me because if I try to practice an art that doesn't fit my style, it will end up being a waste of time.

I end up sleeping in my bed and I end up missing dinner today.

But when I open my eyes the next day I feel much lighter despite all the problems I have I may not even have a solution right away but I can't let that discourage me.

Today I am back to having regular classes I have to take advantage of these last two weeks because most of the courses I am taking will end.

Heading for breakfast I notice that in the stretch that I am walking between the buildings I feel that I am being observed the same feeling as yesterday.

Probably the same person is watching me from a great distance but his gaze is focused on me and only disappears when I enter a building.

Cool now I have a stalker watching me I wonder how long I will have to put up with this if he continues in the next three days I will seek help from the institute as I am the victim of a prevented one will not give shit I have help from others it is not like yesterday that I was attacked but I can't go to the authorities.

I spend the rest of my day normally more every time I'm moving through an uncovered part I feel like I'm being watched and that means I'm screwed for the same person to be watching me all day shows how angry she is with me if that continue tomorrow i will ask for help from a teacher.

I could n't even practice since if I went to a training camp I would be without the protection of the buildings and my stalker would keep his eyes on me and discover my combat skills not that I believe he would be that person's opponent, but it wouldn't be bad keep some secrets from my stalker.

The next day I had advanced combat classes. I want to see if my stalker will continue to watch me. Professor Balder will be there and I doubt that my stalker will be able to deceive Professor Balder's senses.

My guess proved to be correct when Professor Balder entered the training ground. I felt that the gaze that was locked on me disappeared and it shows that my stalker is not so strong. Maybe he has a green core. orange core , but no matter what the exact level is I don't have the power to take care of it.

During the group class with Hilda she was much more sociable than usual it seems that a profitable venture made her more comfortable with me maybe she can even consider a less annoying colleague I still think I'm a little far from being seen like a friend in Hilda's eyes, but a breakthrough is still good even if he is small.

During the class there was no new content, but at the end of the class, Professor Balder had some not so fun news for the class.

"As well as everyone must have noticed the advanced camba-te course is coming to an end just two more classes and in them I will pass some tests for you to judge your level and how much you will improve during my classes those who have passed the certificate of this course and for those who fail, they can write again in this course. "

"What will be the teacher test?"

"It will be about what you learned during my Raziel classes ."

"Professor, can you tell us how this test is done?"

"I didn't do it.

"You are not going to tell anything about the test, are you, professor?"

"Exactly, I'm not going to give you a hint about the test for you, and there's no use asking for help from your veterans because I can always change the test I apply so I don't waste your time with it."

Very nice of him to try so hard to screw his students it shows how he is a good teacher.

"You can go to class already finished and train a lot I hope you all pass the test of the next class."

I stay behind while I watch my colleagues leave the field, Professor Balder notices this and waits for me to give the reason for not leaving.

"Teacher, I have a little problem and I need help. Could you help me?"

"What kind of a problem did you get into Ulric if it is about a petty subject between you and some student you beat I will not meddle."

Seriously, this is the first thing that comes to his mind when I ask him for help.

"It's not like that, teacher and that in the last few days I've left the institute to register with the adventurers guild and do some missions except that when I was approaching the institute's gate I felt like I was being watched by someone, but he must to have a higher cultivation than mine or he is very skilled in the art of concealment and I cannot find him the only thing I feel and when he is watching me. "

"And every time I'm out in the open I feel like I'm being an observer by the same person and I wanted his help since during his class it was the first time he stopped watching me he must be weaker than you are Professor Balder."

" Are you sure about this Ulric ?"

"Of course, professor, I wouldn't lie about something like that."

"Did you cause any problems when you were doing guild missions ?"

" As far as I know, no teacher."

"Certainty? I would be annoyed if you are lying to me Ulric. "

"Maybe I was followed by a group of adventurers when I was exploring the woods, but I can swear to you that I don't know why they would have been watching that way."

"Did you find any treasure in the Ulric woods?"

This shit is complicated to dodge .

"The day they followed me I just collected some nuclei of level one and some normal herbs nothing very unusual teacher."

"That and a problem Ulric may be someone wanting to retaliate against you needless to say that you have already become a target for some families who may want to take care of you to win favor with the Vernos family."

"I think I did n't do anything very important. My duel with the idiot of the Vernos family was not something that important, professor?"

"You are wrong and right at the same time Ulric that you won the duel is not very important, but the problem that your opponent feels humiliated for being defeated by you and he cannot use the power of the Vernos family against you for that reason you have become a target for anyone who wants to gain a connection with the Vernos family using the resentment William has against you Ulric. "

"Well, whatever the reason I'm being watched, how can you help me?"

"Of course Ulric I'll talk to the director about it a student being targeted while within the institute and something she will not allow, but you must stay within the institute and act normally for the person who is of watching not notice anything strange.

"Thank you teacher, I will act normally and I will expect to hear from you when you find out who wants to hurt me."

While I was leaving I didn't know anymore I had not been able to completely deceive Professor Balder he didn't notice anything wrong with my explanations since I didn't lie, but he still realized that I didn't tell him everything and so I was put on the list of students who can fix problems for the institute not that it would give me too many problems in the future.
