A chord in Mathew's soul

The task that Mathew set for the group was monumental.

But it was definitely possible.

"There are roughly three thousand students and staff within the school," Mathew lectured as he stepped inside the central area of the school.

From there, he could see one wing of the school fully collapsed. The rubble that this massive building turned into now threatened the integrity of the rest of the compound.

'I will need to somehow reinforce it,' Mathew thought.

He had two of his merchants on the upper floors of the school and one at the bottom.

'I can't let it crash down,' the young man thought, the look behind his eyes steeling up.

If the building collapsed, he would lose easy access to the merchants above. And if the worst really came to happen, the third merchant would end up buried by the ruins.

'Add a place of relative safety and high utility, a huge number of cores we can claim all for ourselves,' Mathew thought.
