With our guild report ready, finally slaying mission is over. With that the group ended up splitting up Vania's group went to her own house and probably told the Yates family what ended up happening during the mission, David went to his family's house as Hilda and Ingredi they rode Blue and Soft and went to the Menfis family compound .
I, Raziel , Torris , Sten and Erick made our way back to the institute lost a whole week of school and I doubt that pass blank, especially for min and Hilda others have left already warned that if ausentariam for a few days more with Hilda's hurry neither she nor I remember to do this.
When I arrived at the institute we separated I went straight to clean and maintain my equipment so that I could finally clean myself properly and rest for the rest of the day and maybe stop by the administration building to report my return and see if I would receive any fines or penalties for my ass from last week.
As the hours go by I'm finally feeling at home, I can spend fighting and killing, but that doesn't mean I like to smell like old blood or the smell of rotting flesh and it's really hard to live with that kind of smell .
I stopped by the administrative building just to have a good surprise, I don't have a problem because I missed classes. The employee who attended me said that the institute was informed by the Menfis family that Hilda and I went out on a guild mission. It must have been Hilda's mother who did this, it was kind of her to include me in her message with the look she had received from her I thought she would try to harm me by being around her daughters.
With the last problem I had solved I thought about spending my time meditating I have been trying to make the habit of meditating on my experiences and what I have learned from seeing the mana and elemental energy in nature I feel that every time I finish a meditation I feel my mind clearer and focused, that's why I'm making an effort to adopt the habit of meditating.
But when I was heading to my room I was approached by a teacher Liv and her mental state doesn't seem very organized I notice it because of her slightly wrinkled and messy clothes her hair is in the same state and that's very unusual for the teacher it usually pays more attention to his image appeared always reflects their order and seriousness, I think she must have come running up here she must have heard what happened on the mission .
"Hi, Professor Liv, how is this your day ?"
"Not good, come with me to my Ulric office I need to talk to you."
"Of course teacher."
As I followed teacher Liv she was acting slightly paranoid she the more I looked at her I can see she received some very problematic news today, leaving the guild I already got the impression that the problem Benjamin caused was bigger than I expected. , but now I feel like I might end up being dragged into a vortex of trouble maybe this is karma wanting to attack me for planning to steal from the Yates family.
Upon entering the teacher's office, she prepares a cup of tea and relaxes in her chair.
"So teacher what happened?"
"Shouldn't I be asking that? Aren't you dumb Ulric must understand what kind of shit is going on because of the report you guys delivered to the guild today, are you crazy by any chance?! Why did they make that report?"
"Well, it just happened and it didn't happen like keeping it a secret but several parts keeping it all a secret was unfeasible so we decided to report it all to the guild at once. There's a smaller chance the guild will get us into trouble by telling the truth than trying to hide it just so the truth comes out later."
" Ulric you don't understand the shit that will happen now because your report is not simply an exposure of a corrupt nobleman or with intentions to join a criminal organization the Chartreux family was already in the sights of the guild and other families and their report serves as an excuse to finally attack the Chartreux family ."
"What do you mean teacher?"
"In the last few years the Chartreux family lost some nobles because they were exposed to doing illegal activities and one of them was harming the adventurers' guild the idiot if I get over it too much he made his family into the guild's sights. The other families that were in rivalry with the Chartreux family have taken advantage of this and have undermined and stolen several of the Chartreux family businesses ."
"But now with your report that is implicating them against my family and the witnesses to this are the granddaughters of the matriarch of the Menfis family who is one of the three most powerful families in the city, just your report is already a source of trouble and you gave directly to people who want to destroy the Chartreux family."
"In the last few hours the families are allied against the Chartreux family they are preparing to attack they have gathered several negative reports and rumors about the Chartreux they will go on the offensive when the guild makes its move against them and my family will have to participate in this for being victim of the Chartreux family , even the Menfis family will be drawn into this as they have an image of being fair, honorable and trustworthy they will have to side with the guild."
"I well understand this wasn't something your family wanted to become a teacher, but as far as I can see the Chartreux family is doomed and if your family moves there might be some profits why do you seem so angry about it?"
"I take back what I said before you and dumb, your brain doesn't work you trouble-making brat. Not even a noble family does not have allies, some families that are allies of the Chartreux and will try to help them with the problem and that most of them are subordinate families to the Vernos family and as the Menfis were dragged into this fight the Vernos family will also get involved, even if the Chartreux family is condemned and destroyed it will cause a public confrontation between the Vernos and Menfis ."
"The two families have always been rivals and have had several disputes over the past few years, but a public confrontation will give the most violent family members an excuse to attack any family marked as an enemy. It has been many years since a situation as bad as this happened last time, thousands of people died in the war between noble family members, eight bloody years, and now this could end up being repeated ."
"Several families have already started to prepare for the worst possible scenario and ironically this only increases the chance for a multi-family war to happen. Now understand the problem you caused."
"I didn't know the report could cause so much trouble professor if I knew I wouldn't have done it I don't gain anything from causing a conflict of this magnitude, but do you really think it's going to happen?"
"It is no longer a question of what is going to happen, but what is happening. The Chartreux family is doomed. The uncertainty of the situation can be asked in two questions, will the conflict escalate? And whether the Eliure family will get involved in this conflict, but that depends on how they are dragged into the conflict if they intervene to stop the Menfis and Verno family from fighting directly the conflict will go on for years but it won't involve the most powerful people of the city, but if they unite either side, the conflict will intensify much more quickly than before."
"I don't have a lot to say about it Professor other than I'm sorry for giving the excuse for the nobles to start a war, but why are you telling me all this? I've barely started my cultivation, that kind of conflict is beyond my capabilities."
"It is simple Ulric . You and my talented student and I don't want you to die because of the trouble that was caused by stupid nobles your name is on the guild report even though the guild keeps the identity a secret it 's not difficult for the Chartreux family to find out who was on the quest along with Vania's group."
"All it takes is a member of the Chartreux family want revenge for him trying to murder all the common people who were on the mission, this attitude might be meaningless to you but for a person who knows he's going to die they tend to have two types of positions that it's either run or fight and when you fight and a battle is lost there are people who try to find targets to vent their fury."
"You must be careful Ulric because you are one of the possible targets , even though you are protected in the institute you must be careful because you only need to have a suicidal warrior mad enough to try to kill you in here, you must not piss off your guard anymore."
I'm screwed! I hate Benjamin even more now, I wish I could kill him with my bare hands right now. I shouldn't have let Rafaela kill him so quickly and without too much pain I should have made him last.
"Thank you for explaining the shit that can happen and letting me know , I promise to be more careful even inside the institute. And I better leave I hope nothing bad happens to you so be careful too, Professor Liv."
I left the teacher's office and went to my room thinking about the shit that will happen in the next few months, I hope the institute doesn't get sucked into the war of the noble families .
