The Culprit
A week passed since Ezra's punishment was decided.
The Emperor's proclamation kicked up a fuss in noble circles, but no one made a move.
In the meantime, Ezra got news of the outside world from Fredrick through the communication scrolls.
For one, Black Jaws academy was now complete.
The first round of admission had begun.
Rather nobles, Black Jaws focused on taking talents from the masses of commoners.
As always, they made it clear that they were for the less privileged, the nobles should go and eat sh*t if that made them feel better.
Alongside this, Black Jaws was facing serious pressure from other top guilds and top organizations.
The Emperor's original intent was to eat up Black Jaws once it sufficiently developed.
The other Noble houses did nothing as well, awaiting Black Jaw's inevitable destruction with greedy eyes.
Alas, with Fredrick's timely advancement, their plan fell into disarray.
