The man on the altar began to fade away as soon as the altar was compromised and the priest began to scream maniacally, at least he had stopped attacking. Renjiro saw that the time had stopped counting down, from what he saw he had just two seconds before the mission failed.
The temple began to shake violently shaking him from his reverie, renjiro didn't wait to see what had happened to the priest who had stopped screaming and he ran out of the temple, he managed leap past the temple doors before the temple collapsed in on itself.

He would have liked to continue with his game but it was a school day and he had to prepare before lyra came looking for him, so he logged out and left the simulation room, by the time he was done getting prepared Melora barged into the room.
''why do we have to come get you every time''
''I never forced you to come get me, and next time knock before entering into the room'' renjiro took his bag and pushed her away, having conversations with Melora stressed him out.
Melora cursed at him as they headed for lyra, surprising the guards and maids who witnessed it. A lot of them were not aware of who Melora was, the only thing they knew was that all of a sudden they began to see her whenever lyra came around.
Renjiro waved at lyra who smiled at him in return and stepped into the vehicle, renjiro and Melora followed suit, this time around there were other vehicle with them due to the events of the previous day. Elysia didn't want to take chances, she might have let those pirates live but this time she had instructed her guards to attack with intent to kill.
renjiro alighted offering lyra his hand to help her out and ignoring Melora who glared at him and had to be helped out by a guard who felt sorry for her, normally the girls could get out of the vehicle without any help but renjiro did it to spite Melora.
''do you really like antagonizing melora'' lyra whispered into his ear
''not necessarily, but she is annoying'' renjiro replied
''you know she's just jealous of you. You have access to all the women she's interested in''
''does she really like…''
''I know you guys are talking about me, come on spill it'' Melora said interrupting renjiro mid question.
Renjiro looked down at her in annoyance and walked towards his table, he noticed oberon wasn't in class and he shook his head trying to do away with thoughts of the lanky boy, he wondered what it was about oberon that had him disturbed.
Professor solara walked into the class and everyone settled down, she had a way with people, whoever saw her wanted to please her but renjiro felt immune to her charms he didn't feel any compulsion towards her, he considered her beautiful but that was it, during his short time in this world he had come across a lot of beautiful women.
''some might consider history a chore or too boring for them, but I assure you that history class is just as important as combat class'' she said obviously referring to renjiro who she noticed had become aloof during her lesson, this was not the case till about a week ago.
He always paid attention whenever she spoke but now it seemed like he couldn't wait for her to stop rambling.
''we will be talking about the history of our continent today and we will be focusing mainly on how the present day hierarchy came into existence. Does anyone have questions'' no one volunteered so she continued.
''our kingdom doesn't have a ruling figure but a body, which is comprised of the twelve noble families. They make the rules and keep the continent working, each noble family is in control of a kingdom and they have certain specializations''
A hand shot up and professor solara gestured to the person to talk. ''how were the families able to share these specializations among themselves''
''the founders of each family exceled at different things before they attained the rank of nobles, so they stuck with what they did even after they became nobles''
Renjiro listened at intervals, since he was from a noble family he knew most of what she had to say. Those that were particularly interested were probably the children of elites who had grand ambitions, they probably felt that if they worked hard enough they could be promoted to the level of nobles.
''what does one do to become a noble'' someone asked interrupting his thoughts
''to become a noble someone in your family has to be a legend'' professor solara replied
Renjiro wondered who asked the questions since virtually everyone was meant to know this particular piece of information. The issue wasn't knowing what it took to become a noble, the issue was becoming a legend. There was a reason why the number of legends in each continent was the same, it never increased. It reduced at times but it never went past twelve.
''so how does one become a legend?''
''I don't know, if I did would have become one already'' professor Nerissa replied with a smile.
Even as a member of the royal family even renjiro didn't have access to that piece of information, he felt like that was because he never asked, he grew bored and fell asleep soon enough.
The bell rang startling him awake, professor solara walked out of the class but not before glaring at him. She took pride in her teaching and she found it very offensive that he slept while she taught.
Renjiro yawned and stretched himself he knew that he was going to spend the next few hours sleeping since it was instructor bastian and no one really paid attention during his classes. He turned to stare at lyra but caught melora's eye instead and she gestured at him rudely, he shook his head in exasperation and lay his head on the table to sleep.
