Rest day ride I quietly feel that I'm going to miss these moments because outside the institute the political storm is starting today only the winds are blowing, but tomorrow the blood can start to be shed.
I wonder why the guild is so interested in exterminating the Chartreux family what they did to annoy the leader of that branch. Generally the guild tends to be neutral and does not interfere directly with local politics, even though they can bend and disguise their motivations and movements against the Chartreux family . This time it's not how they maintain the image of neutrals and avoid appearing to support one of the political factions .
I wonder if the adventurers association is going to get in trouble with the person responsible for this branch. A clash of this magnitude will be fought mainly by people who have already reached the green core upwards even those who have a gray core can barely participate in these conflicts.
My current goal remains the same and to strengthen myself to pass the year-end test I only have a few months to strengthen and now failing that test is unthinkable because without the protection of the institute I am doomed. Unfortunately I am far from being able to advance and manage to evolve my core to the next level , even the moments that I advance faster than normal I am still far from being able to advance I feel that now I would have to wait another half year to be able to advance.
I have to find a way to force my body and spirit to speed up my cultivation, even if I can't advance before the test, I want to be able to advance in the month after the test. The rest of my day I meditate and train my aura belt so to find a way to accelerate my cultivation I have to better understand my aura as it is created by my core.
The next day I went back to my classes when I saw Professor Frey he just put me on a list of books and tasks to do, I think he doesn't mind that I disappeared for a week and yes I'm not studying runes enough for cause of my trip. This semester the way he teaches hasn't changed, but he's been charging me a lot more and from my classmates I think going through the first course shows that we're worth more of his time and concern I feel he really wants us to become true rune masters like him.
The profession lacks a lot of competent professionals, the higher the level of a professional, the less there are in the world and the only way to improve this is by increasing the number of professionals at the base of the professional pyramid. Only with a larger base and that it becomes possible to increase the number of competent and superior professionals in the market.
My other teachers, I didn't feel such a change, they still feel that they are there to guide whoever is interested in learning and not one of them tries to remember and entice students to study more or practice more if the student is not interested and his problem. Perhaps this will change year to year since only after the next test can the surviving students be considered real institute students according to the speech given by the principal this year. I wonder how she's going to threaten the students again in her next speech.
I had quiet classes today and when I finished the last class which by the way was teacher Liv's class, she is looking more tired than she did yesterday afternoon, she mustn't have slept very well. I was very tired yesterday so the political concerns and the possibility of being the target of a murder didn't disturb my sleep and I hope it doesn't today too, I feel like I have a few days ahead of me without too much trouble to disturb my sleep. Because when the Chartreux family falls it means the two factions will start attacking each other more directly.
With the end of my last class I made my way to the adventurers guild with Raziel who was also free, it was a pretty big coincidence that we were acting from the institute at the same time.
"So yesterday I had an interesting conversation with Professor Liv about what's going to happen after we've done the guild mission report."
"Let me guess the Yates family will require some explaining to the Chartreux and the guild will put them under surveillance, it's just mid-level nobles plotting their competitors' downfall. What's so special about that?"
"According to Liv teacher the consequences will be much larger than this will be a shit storm for all sides to the families Memphis and ernments will be swallowed up to this catastrophe of proportions epic ."
"Serious? Why is the conflict going to be so big?"
"Looks like the Chartreux were already being watched by the guild and the master of the branch wants to finish them off and after their inevitable downfall their allies can move against the Yates and their allies and the Menfis family is on my side because Hilda and Ingredi are witnesses to Benjamin's actions and this will engulf the Vernos because several families who are their vassals have an alliance with the Chartreux ."
"What the fuck this situation is, this seems very confusing because the guild is going to meddle in politics so they're basically going to make the first move to start a war between the two of the three biggest factions in town shouldn't they be neutral?"
"Someone in the guild must have a strong grudge against a family member Chartreux and they did a lot of shit if we take into consideration that Benjamin wanted to join a large criminal group we believe that it does not and the only member of his family to take interest in activities illicit ."
"I won't deny the fact that Benjamin's family must engage in various criminal activities, but as far as I know you were also interested in a certain Ulric brooch ?"
"I don't know what you're talking about I don't like jewelry or brooches I'm not interested in these types of items. I'm not a vain person I prefer to spend my time in more healthy and constructive activities you should do the same."
"Would constructive activities be like digging in a public aria and extracting a considerable amount of valuable ores?"
"Yes, a little exercise in the morning is good for the development of the Raziel body !"
"Would you have more healthy and constructive Ulric activities planned ?"
"Perhaps in the distant future I will have the possibility of doing a healthy activity in the countryside, a trip to avoid the confusion that could end up happening in the coming months. But unfortunately taking a nature tour can be dangerous too ."
"Traveling before the test can be a chance to unwind and rest before a tough Ulric race , maybe we shouldn't miss this opportunity."
"And complicates it depends on Ingredi."
"In what sense?"
"It would be nice to have an earth element mage with a gray core so she can make a more comfortable shelter during an outing in the open."
"Would taking more black core mages be too dangerous?"
"A very large group can attract trouble like what happened in the last mission if a smaller, tight-knit group is less likely to attract trouble when traveling Raziel ."
"Did you talk to Ingredi or Hilda?"
"Not since yesterday, did you see Torris today Professor Liv was looking tired today she mustn't have slept very well last night."
"No and I saw Sten earlier and he just said hi."
"It amazes you he must like you."
"How about we move on to clearer subjects, how much do you think we're going to earn guild gold and merits today Ulric ?"
"I don't know, but I believe you will be able to increase your rank. Are you ready to enter the dungeon? He's pretty nasty and the monsters are pretty annoying they hide well in a dark dungeon like that."
"I did my research before Ulric , I believe I'm ready to go through the floors so I'm not too confident to kill an elite monster on my own, I've been practicing my stealth skills a lot and learned an auxiliary art of the shadow element that will allow me to see even better in the dark."
"This will be useful for you, but don't forget the flashlight even if you don't need it it can be a good tool against the elite monster as it lives in the dark."
"I thought about this strategy too Ulric I'm after a magic tool that has a very strong and concentrated lighting ability."
"Do you think the others are prepared to go through the dungeon? I don't want to lose even a friend to this stupid tradition."
"She's not an idiot, she's used to mark trash in the guild and I think Hilda and Torris should be able to walk smoothly through the dungeon, but I'm not sure about Sten and Erick. They have a disadvantage in offensive and defensive power even good equipment can only help up to a point."
"I believe that both Erick and Sten won't risk killing the elite monster alone and only go through the floors and enough to receive the emblem on their guild sheet."
"Anyway, I plan to enter the dungeon for the next three days."
Raziel and I stopped talking as we arrived at the guild building. I'm curious to find out how much we're going to gain from this troublesome mission.
