Going back in time, Pauleen and Juniper were walking around the country of Aquila. They were a large group that was wandering around the country that didn't really have any purpose. The rules did state that they cannot go in a group that's too large, but it was somewhat exploited when the Sentinels in the group were only Pauleen and Juniper. They were able to get their planned trip, and they had already travelled to the location. The group was able to spend the early days of their trip with enjoyment in the country of Aquila. Naturally, they all looked like adventurers, while Pauleen and Juniper hid their identities as Sentinels.
"It feels to nice to finally go on a trip in this world, weren't you two constrained because both of you were members of Draxus's Order?" The young lad spoke in a slightly feminine tone, despite having a male body. He looked somewhat average but he has some good features in his face. "It is true though, while Draxus considers how we felt first, allowing us to do whatever we wish without causing trouble, we feel slightly guilty if we go around without a goal in mind. Considering that the goal here is to collect info about culture of other countries, I'm rather relieved that he gave us an extended one." Juniper smiled as she sat down on a chair in her room. "If I remember correctly, we only have to respond to a recall and return anytime right? We just have to be aware about the recall then." Pauleen and Juniper nodded in agreement as they know what they had to do simply. "By the way, Lawrence, have you checked on Gayle and Josh?" "Ah, them huh...? Gayle's doing okay but Josh had a massive look of frustration. It's clear that he's still unhappy about his losses." "Honestly, I didn't want things to turn out that way. Keith testing his capabilities was something that we cannot control. By the way, what do you think of Draxus as of now Lawrence?" Juniper expressed her thoughts calmly as she remembered that Lawrence had interactions with Draxus. "Well, I respect every action he makes, he did help me when I was a student that's trying to look for a job. But he sounds much more distant when we talked the last time. And now, he's in that position, he's most likely busy with his work right? Being an Archon and all." Lawrence felt slightly sorry for Draxus as he wasn't of any help to him from all the times that Draxus had helped him. "Probably, either that or he's just with his harem." "True, with how much he's overworked everyday, he's most likely being forced by them to take a big rest." "Right, he has his harem with him. Then he'll be fine." The three of them continued to chat until two more people entered the room. Both were young girls that had adventurer's clothing and looking ready to take on requests. "Tiffany...? And Aaliyah? Did something happen?" "Oh it's nothing big, we've just detected that Keith has arrived to the capital." The three of them weren't able to hide their surprise as to why Keith appeared in their trip. Keith doesn't generally handle them as Pauleen and Juniper are managed by Olivia. But they're still acquaintances or friends for the most part. "Wait, if Keith's here then we don't really have to be here right?" Juniper thought about something in their purpose but Pauleen quickly turned it down. "Keith may have a different purpose, where did you find him go Tiffany?" "He's heading straight to the castle, he was with a girl, most likely his girlfriend." Lawrence then realized that Keith himself is now around. "So that rascal now decided to appear? What's more, straight to the castle huh...? Does he get that much authority?" He was curious as to how Keith had gained more authority as a Sentinel. "He's not only a vice-chief, but also an Executioner rank. He definitely has considerable influence, meaning he may have to learn about the authoritative systems of the country instead." "It's mostly a country of scholars and talent right? It's a perfect place to train ourselves to be honest." Lawrence had already understood why Keith is moving around the area. "What about the Hero? He's most likely trying to get information about the country. If this country is governed by a good person or not." They had their guesses, each one thought about what they thought Keith was here for, but none of them knew that his purpose was to actually ascertain the identity of Lily and Julie to which Draxus told him. "Josh, Keith has appeared and is going to the castle." "Oh? He's around as well huh? We should ask if he can join us next time." Josh entered the room, scratching his left shoulder while talking. "He's definitely grown stronger while I got quite lazy with myself, so I gotta keep training my abilities." "And surpass them? I sure hope that it's possible." Gayle entered the room with a slightly pessimistic expression. "You don't really have to say that, it's all possible. Even eventually beating Draxus is possible." When he mentioned Draxus, Pauleen and Juniper glanced over each other and had the same thought. "No chance." The two of them knew that Draxus was forcefully already controlling Josh only at ten percent power. They knew of this because Serkyrio had told them what he did to resolve the issue back in Santuria. And they also understood the fact that Draxus is the [Prime Existence], with eight different souls in his hands, there would be no end to his power.
"Let's forget about training and see if we can do something about how we could improve. We can go for an adventure and see if there's anything we can learn about, or take a scholar school for magic." Juniper thought up of a plan for the group, as all of them wanted to become even stronger if they intended to survive. "What about school? It would be interesting if we managed to get through a course without issues. We'd be able to learn something too." Lawrence thought about recommending the school. They all voted, and it was decided that they'd try to get through school life in another world.
