71 Chapter 71

    As the time passed midday, Aron who was seated on a sofafortably opposite from Lady Uva suddenly stood up.


    "Leaving already? I had hoped for us to exchange more knowledge." Lady Uva was unwilling to see Aron leave as the knowledge they were sharing had drawn much of her interest. The same could be said for Aron who received somewhat more knowledge on Pesia.


    However he chose to cut the conversation short as he didn''t want to give knowledge freely, It would be a waste. After giving her a subtle nod, confirming his intention to leave, he walked out of her office. The gentle old woman could only sigh before taking out a note book and going over the knowledge she learned.


    After leaving the office, Aron began wandering the corridors of the academy. As he did so he would asionally pass by groups of students who all seemed to share amon topic of discussion. The recent murders....


    "Did you hear? Another person was found dead just yesterday... a student no less."


    "I''ve heard a mana beast may have infiltrated the city and is hunting humans."


    <o>,m "That can''t be, why would a beast not eat it''s prey? All the bodies were found brutally mauled or crushed but no signs of feasting were shown..."</o>


    "Who knows, but students and residents alike are being advised to move in groups until the beast is found..."


    In each group that Aron passed by, he heard the students thoughts on the recent attacks that had been urring in the city, some were concerned whilst others fearful. They were of course some who were confident that they would be able to defeat said beast that invaded and proudly boasted their capability to do so.


    ''Seems they''re starting to take the attacks seriously.'' Aron thought to himself as he wandered the corridors without halting. As the number of victims rose, the topic was bing more and more popr. Some students went as far as forming groups to patrol the streets during the night. ''How noble.'' Aron clicked his tongue in irritation before finally deciding to leave the Academy.


    ….


    Meanwhile in the lecture room where he had held the recruitment interviews. Jin, Jagu and udia were standing around listening to the youngdy''s never ending ideas.


    "For our faction cloaks do you have a choice on color?" She asked Jagu and Jin causing them to nce at each other, Aron left the matters in their hands so going to bother him over a choice of color was something neither of them wanted to do.


    "ck and red. Fearful and strong colors" Jagu suggested and Jin nodded, udia simply listened and wrote it down before proceeding.


    "A crest? These usually take long to design but here are a personal few of my own design. She asked without turning away from her notebook and this time Jin answered. "The one in the middle, most definitely." Jin replied while pointing his finger at the crest in the middle.


    Immediately he saw it he thought of Aron. It was dark, intimidating and expressed power, if that didn''t describe Aron then he didn''t know what did. Jagu nodded in agreement and once again udia carried on.


    "Next is the faction name?" udia asked and Jin and Jagu nced at each other before giving an answer in unison.


    "Sovereign"<sub> </sub>


    udia took it as perhaps Aron had already decided on a name so she didn''t inquire and carried on. "Next is the heirachy, I chose a simple system consisting of five ranks, please let me know your thoughts."


    "Arch, Grand, Elector, Crestfallen, Hollow. Where those with the Hollow Sovereign rank would be the lowest whereas an Arch-Sovereign would be the highest." udia exined and both Jagu and Jin gave their approval.


    "Since you''re already in possession of first ss airship I suppose we can simply move to a venue. It should berge enough to have rooms for members of the faction to live in and spacious enough to host activities such as training, banquets and meetings away from prying eyes. They are quite a fewrge manors that fit this description but the prices are quite high." udia exined and waited for Jagu and Jin to give their input.


    "Money really isn''t an issue, Aron''s more concerned about security so he would want the most secure among the manors." Jin replied as he recalled Aron was the cautious type, even if he himself wouldn''t stay in faction headquarters he''d want it to be secure. As for wealth... they were loaded. So much so that Aron had no qualms spending whatever amount necessary to proceed.


    "I see, then all you need to do is visit the Galos properties office in the higher business district and proceed with the purchase. I will handle passing the information to my fellow members, When the venue is ready and the others have been briefed, we can host a banquet there for members where ranks can be bestowed and cloaks handed. Is this fine?" udia asked as if she had everythingpletely thought out, Jin was silent for a moment but he couldn''t find a fault with her n and just nodded.


    "Yes, that sounds uh... perfect." He replied and udia immediately closed her notebook and gave a small bow. "Then if you''ll excuse me, I''ll get started right away." She politely said with a straight face before leaving the room.


    "I really dislike smart women." Jin sighed after feeling his intelligence waspletely looked down upon. "I hate thinking so I like this smart little human." Jagu snickered and growled lightly.


    "Oh well, less work for me means more time to drink, shall we head over to Hilda''s?" Jin asked with grin while Jagu shook his head. "I must train."


    "Ohe on, it''ll just be a little then we can go train." Jin put his hand on Jagu''s shoulder and offered but Jagu furrowed his brows. "You said thatst time and I woke up the next day near the river..." Jagu remembered an unpleasant memory and was unwilling to repeat it.


    "Ohe on, where''s you sense of adventure! If it makes you feel any better I woke up in woman''s pantry half naked with fruits on my nipples." Jin''s attempt at convincing Jagu only served to strengthen his resolve to never drink with this drunkard again.


    ….


    At the same time near the entrance of the academy, A and Reginald gathered.


    "Come now Reginald, I''m sure he left the academy not to long ago, let''s go before wepletely lose him!" A''s resolve to follow Aron had not diminished in the slightest despite her loss thest time. Reginald however felt his body tense up when that name was spoken, he already regretted the first time yet she wanted to do this again?


    Go alone?! That man is a monster?!


    Reginald wished he could just shout these words but s since Lady Belle asked them this time he could only oblige.


    "Can we do this another day? With a beast on the loose I doubt even he will wander around aimlessly..." Reginald attempted to dissuade A onest time but she was unwilling.


    "It doesn''t matter! Lady Belle entrusted us to find out what he''s up to so we can''t fail!" Unfortunately for Reginald, the stubborn woman that was A only showed a bright smile full of vigor and dragged him by the hand.
