Nonchalance
Ryu quickly tossed these matters to the back of his mind. As far as he was concerned, the more dangerous the situation, the better.
As things were currently, he didn't have a true goal for the next year and a half until the eclipse. He thought that in this time the only challenge he might receive was as a contestant for one of the positions to enter the Ice Devil Legacy World.
Originally, he had been planning on joining as an unknown after he reached the Core Region, mostly because he couldn't be bothered to enter each and every tournament. Not only would fighting against Outer and Inner Ring 'geniuses' not be any sort of challenge, it would be a waste of his time.
But now, this sort of political intrigue had caught his attention.
The wealth of the Inner Ring wasn't something new to this era. Ryu's Tatsuya Clan had no need of it, but many of their subordinate Clans once had hands in this region.
