There were a lot of tips and tricks of preservation in my world. So it's really not that much of a problem.
"Well then I have to go back now and take care of the place for me."
"Sure thing boss."
"Yeah with your idea we can continue the current traffic of customers we had in the future."
"Sure thing."
I then left the place and arrived at the inn I am currently staying with everyone in the group.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I returned they asked me questions about my store and how my magic tools work.
I just gave some general outline and also added some suggestive words as a way to possibly have them interested in buying some.
All in all the night was fun. We talked , we ate and we exchanged our thoughts about our studies in the academy.
After that we were gonna hit the hay. Until I was stopped by someone I really did not want to meet
"So what do you want, Richard?"
And the person I am about to face is BK.
"What is it?"
"...."
Why is he quiet? Anyway if he doesn't want to talk I'll have to leave.
"If you don't have anything to say then I'm leaving."
"Wait!"
"What?"
"..... I'm sorry."
"Huh?"
"I said I'm sorry. And….thank you "
He is apologizing to me. To think he would say that. That caught me off guard.
Well that's all. As he said that. he left the place in a hurry.
Well sure I guess. Let's just accept it, I guess the misunderstanding might be cleared up a bit.
The next day we returned to the academy and marking the end of this month's exam.
~~~~~~~~
"Is it still bothering you?"
"Yes, why wouldn't it be?"
A private conversation has currently occured at the lake sister's dorm after their exam.
"Ever since my father said that he will continue to expand the business and left to support the front lines, the attack on this city suddenly started."
"Yeah I guess that's not something we would have thought would happen."
"Right now the economy here is a mess. Ever since I checked the reports there are a lot of problems happening that we currently are walking in blind."
"The good thing is we found out about this early on. If it was later, who knows what may happen."
"You may be right sis but even though we had already stabilized ourselves we can't ignore the fact we are being targeted."
"That's why I told you we need help. We can't do this alone anymore."
"I know, but looking for a partner at this time is gonna be hard since the only connection we had are the guilds and those two faced
bastards."
Currently the sisters have lost their footing due to the sudden changes of the economy.
Right now they are thinking of what to do, for them to recover from this predicament.
Then as though suddenly making up her mind Lady Alicia suggested a person to help them.
"But I do know one person."
"Who?"
"My savior."
"Sir Bolt?"
"No." She sighed as she looked at her sister annoyingly.
"Then who?"
"It's Cole Anglos."
Hearing the name Lady Alicia's sister Alissa reacted negatively.
"No!"
"How come you are so against him?"
"He's a pervert and that's why."
"He already said that it was an accident right? Plus our means are very limited. So he might be our only choice."
"Ugh, fine we'll try and talk to him about this. If he is on board then fine but if he is not then he is out of questions."
"Okay."
"Good."
Seemingly having no way to argue back Lady Alissa had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
After that the two continued to talk about their plan, their countermeasures and the reason for the sudden movement against them.

The following week the checking of the exams were finally finished and the results were said to be posted today.
So after class there will be many eager students who are now anxious to see their results.
But even so class still needs to be prioritized so today we had another class and this one is concerning the previous incident.
"Evolution. Evolution as we know it is a special phenomenon that happens once to all species but this is also one of the used to differentiate us between monsters. But why."
The teacher asked as he looked around us and then Miss Florence, who is still my classmate, answered the question.
"Because each species has a specific number of evolution except monsters that have not only one way of evolving but also have a lot of stages unlike us who can only evolve once."
"That's right. Our case is very different from most living creatures in this world. We can evolve one time. Unlike monsters who can do it multiple times."
As the professor said that he brought out a chart and placed it at the board for us to see.
"As you can see here there are a lot of evolutionary traits for the monsters. For example, the gray wolves have a variety of evolutions. Like shadow wolf, inferno wolf, great wolf and the most desired by all the Lunar wolf."
Then he showcased us about other monsters' evolution and how there are limits even with the numerical types it can change from.
afterwards he put on another chart which shows the familiars evolution.
Now this is interesting. I wonder what evolution shall Titan take? as I was thinking about my gluttonous pet the Professor continued with his explanation.
"As for the familiars we summon in the other realm we tend to have a very special case when evolving them for they need a lot more requirements than what you might expect."
He then goes on about how important having a strong bond between familiar and its master.
"How it is also needed to have their own summoning zone to get a higher chance of evolution and finally the materials needed for evolution, which is mostly their basic diets but to a higher degree than what it should be."
After that it is now finally the evolution process of the different races in this world.
"Now to finalize the lesson we will talk about the evolutionary traits of other species like us humans.Usually we had one type of evolution, but did you know we could have more than one.P
Hearing that we were surprised, because it was stated that we could only have one evolution.
"Now, now hear me out, we learned about this after further investigation."
He said as he showed another chart.
"We are planning to publicize this after the restoration. During the festival if possible."
Announcing that he pointed at the chart.
As you could see there is one definite evolution for every race. But what if there are certain requirements to achieve a new evolution."
This then gives us another problem. Then as if to represent us Florence stood up and raised a question.
"But sir won't we be any different from monsters then."
"No. Because we can only evolve once."
"I see, I understand now."
"Good that you understand. So either than the requirements of the third milestone and fourth rank up. You can choose more after completing a new one."
"How professor?"
We haven't made it official yet so I can't say more than I have now but one important detail is the eight towers holding these requirements."
"So we have to go to one of the eight towers to find these requirements?"
"Well don't fret you still have time after we made the announcement you will be able to choose what evolution you want."
"Yes!"
"That's great."
"I am going to choose the strongest one just to watch."
"Everyone stop! I don't know which is stronger of those evolutions but we do know that they had their own advantages. So that's all dismissed."
Hearing most of my classmates rushed out, wanting to see their exam results.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the principal's office the principal and his secretary were there talking about the current situation.
"The Evolutionary Path Theory. Do we really have to teach the kids about such an important matter Mr. Principal?"
"Yes, as long as one takes the bait we will know who we are up against then we can mobilize our full force."
"So this is going to be a trap to show the lizard's tail?"
"That's how it's going to be."
"I hope this will work."
"I hope so too."
"Also Mr principal the expense of this month is rising although we are not having my difficulties right now this could affect us in the long run."
"Oh about that we are looking up on it as well. I am now helping the governor to look up on this situation."
"Good anymore than this is dangerous after all."
"Don't worry we already have a lead on this. What's more important is that someone is targeting us and we were not late to notice it."
"Then I'll do my best to assist you."
With that the conversation of the two concluded.
