"He claims to be a Sardonian messenger on his way to Feia and was attacked by some users during his journey. Should we believe him?" Till nods at Rick, "his uniform is definitely from the Sardonian Intelligence corps, and it was true that he was attacked." "I only saw one attacker though," Bell says with a frown. "I already blew one away before you got there." The group turns toward the girl, at the unexpected report, as well as her cold tone of voice. "Let's ask why he's heading to Feia." Kun breaks the awkward silence. The group is chatting in a chatroom with De'muel and Mak'ra listening in. The confused looking blonde boy with blue eyes look around the conference room with curiosity as they continue their discussion. The chatroom feature of the users allowed invited people to chat within a secure bubble where sound will be prevented from leaking out, the range is somewhat limited though. Walking out of the confine of the chatroom, Rick orders the messenger into the chatroom. "Get in here, boy, we need ask you some things." The blonde boy stares at Rick with a frown, "I'm no boy, I have already been granted the adult name of Mikhal." It's common practice for the people of Zrewheig, at least for the humans, to have a childhood name and an adult name when they reach the age of 13. When one gets an adult name, it's expected that they will act like an adult, and be received as such. "Until you have some facial hair or some hair down there, you are going to be a boy to me, now get your a.s.s in there before I kick it in for you." Rick had helped Bell in treating his wounds, so he actually know that for a fact. Mikhal's face turns red, from a mixture of shame, anger, humiliation and angst. He reluctantly walk toward the center table in the conference room. The youth in front of him was able to mostly dodge that monster's attack, he figured it wouldn't be wise to agitate him. Especially since it seems like they saved his life. "... do it this way." The boy is surprised when he approached the table, he couldn't hear anything when he was sitting on the sofa. But there seems to be a full blown discussion going on. "Have a seat... What should we call you?" "Mikhal is fine." "Okay, have a seat, Mikhal." Kun is doing most of the talking since he appears to be the most average of everyone there. *gacha* "Tea?" Mak'ra offers a cup as Mikhal sits down on a chair. He gingerly take the cup as he stares at the small antlers on top of the demihuman's head. *buu* Kun gives a cough to draws the staring boy's attention. "Now Mikhal, why were you being attacked by Dawn's Moonlight?" "They were from Dawn's Moonlight? That would certainly explain it." The boy absentmindedly sip a little of the tea, the intensely sharp and refres.h.i.+ng flavour causes him to snap his head up. He slowly take another sip before realizing the expectant look from everyone in the room, waiting for him to continue. "As everyone know, the immortal guilds of Dawn's Moonlight and the Monochrome Blades are vying for supremacy in the Field of Ashes. The Sardon kingdom had suffered indignation after indignation. We were sent to gather help from our allies and neighbours to push those two immortal guilds out of our territories." Bell, Kun and Rick all look at each other meaningfully. "They are at war?" "When did this happen?" "..." "What...?" The group bombards Mikhal for the next hour or so with questions after questions, squeezing every bit of outside news they can. In return, the boy also asks questions of his own. Although they have kept somewhat updated with the internet forums and newsgroups, exact details are hard to determine since one would need to be a member of a given guild to gain access to some of the more sensitive information. The news they've gathered are general news that the average user would know. But they did managed to learn that other [Novice]s and the basic [Cla.s.s]es aside from [Mage] don't have the option to learn {Magic}, at least there are no mentions of it. As a matter of fact, there's no mention of anything about mana aside from MP, INT's and WIS' affect on it, and the various spells that [Mage]s and their advanced version can use. So this mean they have discovered a secret among secrets for mana in general. They had developed their own [Skill]s by combining their knowledge and understanding of the books left by the headmistress before testing it in the forest. «Elemental Dance» for example was based on the «Elemental Blade» series of attack from the advanced [Warrior] cla.s.s of [Elemental Blademaster]. This cla.s.s is able to add Metal, Wood, Water, Fire or Earth attributes to their attacks. But instead of continuously using MP to produce a new effect for each strike, «Elemental Dance» uses the residual mana and aftereffects from the previous strike to produce the next element's effect. When used successively in a combo, the mana cost is reduced significantly while dealing ma.s.sive damage. This is because there's nothing recorded out there with complete elemental resistance, additionally, each element can cause certain status effects upon a successful strike. Aside from just [Skill], there's also [Growth] and [Magic]. Till had focused almost exclusively on [Magic], while Bell was able to learn how to use [Growth] alongside [Skill], and Kun dabbled in all three. Rick, seeing all the s.h.i.+ny new toys everyone else got, decided to learn as well, he's further behind than everyone else, but at least he's able to enchant his arrows before firing them. They intend to act as though they are advanced cla.s.s users with hidden cla.s.ses when they go out of the [Forest of Illusions]. Bell the [Elemental Warrior], Kun the [Master Appraiser], Rick the [Trickster] and Till the [Storm Mage]. With the safeguards in place, they intended to venture out to recruit some new students. That was the plan anyways, until the sudden rescue they had to perform for Mikhal. This, however, is an unexpected gift, for both parties. Having a non-user with some first hand experience of the situation would prove extremely useful. For one, users tends to ignore non-users since they are NPCs according to the system's manual. Aside from quests and buying/selling, they serve little to no purpose. As such, they are ignored completely unless users wants something from them. So their information can be extremely reliable. On the other hand, having other immortals sharing ideas and thoughts from their perspective may very well reduce casualties on Sardon's side. So the exchange of information was rapid, detailed and concise. Which also leads to more tea... that Mikhal downs faster than Mak'ra can brew. The end result was, Mikhal can go request help from Feia once he's healthy enough to travel. Since his horse is likely dead in the forest, one will be provided to him. In exchange, he has to make a {Blood Oath} that will keep him silent about finding the academy until one of the four has deemed enough time has pa.s.sed. This way, Mikhal can complete his mission. The group on the other hand will be able to make a plan to bring [Monochrome Blades] down, and if possible, [Dawn's Moonlight] as well. The first guild took advantage of Bell, Kun and Rick. They still shudder at the thought of logging into their own dissection. The latter guild started the fight with them. They would have ignored [Dawn's Moonlight], but its guildmember had attacked Till. The armour fragments that Bell brought back had radiant moon emblems on some of its parts. There were high-grade guild-tier [Berserker Potion]s and [Healing Potion]s as well, if Bell hadn't killed the raider in one go, he might have used those potions to turn the table on her. The group, along with the De'muel and Mak'ra, continues their planning while Mikhal returns to the infirmary to recuperate, with a pot of tea of course.EC Vol 1 Chapter 4
