I know, that's why I'm here

It's quite late, so any mistakes will have to wait

Enjoy the chapter!

I liked it quite a lot.

/A few hours later…/

'The sun was about to rise, signifying the start of a new day…'

"Annnnd… Done."

[Scanning complete, according to the analyses, Archive named Library N.07 has been completed]

[Total quantity of Items scanned: 737,297]

"Good!"

It took me a few hours to go over this entire Library, but it has finally ended.

The number of books seems lower than what I expected but... I have no idea what the normal size of a library is in the first place.

I never used my university library in the first place... All of my books were online.

"But this is enough for today."

"Switch to deep analyses and start learning and compiling the information within the books, starting with the books I marked." He said to the machine

First I'll have it learn the languages of this world, it'll probably take no time at all.

Following that…

I'll leave that for later.

[Understood, starting a new directive… Calculating approximate time...]

'As the AI spoke, Philip raised his head to look at the clock hanging in the ceiling, thinking:'

Time sure passed fast… It's already 6 Am.

"Sigh."

But it's time to proceed.

'Philip grabbed the box and stored it in his inventory tool.'

"Hm... I think it'll work in there... I hope so."

"I'll eat something for now and take a shower… It won't be too late to check on it by then."

'Focused, Philip left the library and made his way back to his home…'

…

/At the same time somewhere in the Academy…/

"...!"

'Ivia opened her eyes on a large bed, gazing at the ceiling she was so much used to…'

"My room?... Since when…"

I remember being carried to a nearby infirmary and healed…

"You fell asleep not long after you got healed." Said a voice near her, startling her

"You…"

"Don't 'you' me, I have a name you know…" Said Fabrin with a sad expression

"What are you doing here? You…"

If he is here, what about his job? Don't tell me he disobeyed orders again…

"I came here to check up on you, my disobedient daughter."

"Someone had to carry you from the infirmary to this place and I wouldn't leave it to that poor girl…" He said as he talked about Viera

"But if me being here makes you uncomfortable, then I'll leave. Have a nice rest…" He said with a smile

'There were many emotions contained within that smile, sadness, disappointment, worry, and relief…'

'And despite his daughter acting like this, he still smiled, since he loved her very much…'

"... Dad?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you… I screwed up this time and I… Won't do it again…" she said with a bit of embarrassment

There's no way your presence bothers me...

Most of the time.

'When he heard that, Fabrin took a step back and hugged her, saying:'

"You are just like your mother, cold as ice, fiery as the sun, but you both know when to say sorry."

'When she heard her mother being mentioned, Ivia closed her eyes in regret.'

'Seeing this, Fabrin patted her head and said:'

"Next time you decide to go on a suicide mission due to frustration, how about notifying your dad so he doesn't have to worry so much hmm?"

"I…"

'But Fabrin didn't let her finish, patting her head and saying:'

"I made some breakfast, it's just by the table on your side."

"Still early, and today is a day off for those who participated in the Great Hunt, so take a rest for today, we'll talk more about this later."

'Fabrin got up from the bed and went to the door, but Ivia wasn't done as she said:'

"Were you the one behind… Behind him?..."

"You mean Philip?" He asked with an interested smile

"Yes, the person who…"

'She had difficulty choosing her words, it was embarrassing, everything she knew about him was associated with some humiliating aspect of her.'

'Be it when he made her tremble in fear, or when he saved her from certain death, both weren't pretty memories for her to remember…'

'But her father simply said:'

"The person who beat you and saved you? Then yes… Is there anything else? If not I'll leave…"

'Ivia grabbed a pillow and threw it at him in frustration.'

"What do you mean leave?! Tell me why! Who is he?!"

'Fabrin looked at the door for a few seconds before replying with a somber tone:'

"... Sigh, do you expect me to allow you to go forth to a dangerous place just like that."

"?"

What's he...

'He closed his eyes, remembering something before he opened them again and said:'

"I can allow you to seek your own things on your own, as that was your mother's wish, but that doesn't mean I don't care nor that I'll allow you to throw your life away."

"I may have grown from nothing, but that doesn't mean I would want you to do the same when there is no need to."

'He looked at her with a deep gaze and said:'

"I know… I know what you want and what are you trying to prove."

"..."

"Don't give me that look, I've known you for almost 19 years…"

"Your mother… She may have walked most of her path alone…."

"But never for a moment think that she would be happy to see you throwing your life away like this."

"There is no need to do everything alone, nor a need to ignore those who care for and are behind you..."

"There is no need for you to prove anything to me because I was always proud of you."

"I think that as your father, I've said this too little but… I'm here. I've always been here."

"Not as your teacher or someone trying to make you follow some training routine, but as your father."

"I can be a pesky teacher tomorrow, but I can also be a father."

"Father…"

"No more words. Rest now, and think about what I said, what you did, and what you want to do. I'll come back later and hear your answer."

/Creak… Clack/

'As the door closed behind him, Ivia also closed her eyes, resting her head on the pillows.'

"..."

"... What I want to do…"

I've never thought about that, have I?…

'She raised her hands and put them over her face.'

"Thinking about what I did, it was indeed foolish… He wasn't wrong." She said as she remembered Philip's words

"I was focused on the present..."

And ended up almost destroying my future...

Yesterday... Yesterday I almost made that reality.

"I'm tired dad..."

'Ivia remained there, thinking about many things until she went to sleep, too tired to continue thinking.'

…

/2 Hours later…/

"He's fucking late again…" Philip said with a frown as he waited near the door to a classroom

'He could be seen resting his back against the wall, wearing some formal brown clothes.'

'He looked pretty stylish, it almost made one forget that this guy was a battle junkie that loved to rip his enemies apart…'

"..."

Just around an hour ago, I received a notification asking him to come to class, and guess what happened? He's late again…

I swear, if something happens this time...

"Hey." Said a feminine voice from Philip's side

"?"

'Philip turned to the left and saw someone he didn't expect to see so soon…'

"Viera?" He said surprised

"Do you have some time to spare?" She asked formally

'Philip checked his pocket watch and said:'

"I do, by the looks of it, you're also from this class. So we have time until Fabrin arrives."

It's funny seeing her like this, makes me remember when I first saw her and before she started opening up to me.

Is she acting like this because we're in public? How cute.

"..."

'Viera noticed Philip's cheeky smile, and after taking a look around, she quickly kicked his leg before walking down the corridor without saying a single extra word.'

"Hmph…"

'Philip let out a bit of air from his nose as he smiled.'

…

'After following her for a few moments, Philip and Viera arrived at an open roof garden overlooking some of the complexes of the Academy.'

"This place should be enough." Viera said

'It was quite a beautiful and isolated place...'

"Are you going to confess to me? Can you give me some time to think?" Philip said as he teased her

"You…"

'But Viera simply rolled her eyes, ignoring his jokes as she said:'

"First, I would like to apologize for not contacting you yesterday even after you sent me my part of the contracts…" She said as she bowed slightly with an apologetic expression

'Philip nodded and said:'

"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart, everyone was tired so I understood if you just went to sleep."

'But Viera replied awkwardly:'

"Well… That wasn't exactly what I did…"

"Wha..."

'Philip was stunned, he smiled and then looked at her sideways, raising his right eyebrow to question her words.'

"Yesterday I… WAIT! THAT ISN'T WHAT I MEANT I…" She said with a red expression as she blushed

"Pfft… Haha..."

'Philip couldn't hold it anymore, laughing slightly at her embarrassment.'

"You…"

I swear… I need to focus…

Focus before he takes me off track again.

'After breathing in and out, Viera said:'

"Because of your help, I managed to accumulate many resources, much more than what I had actually planned, and thanks to that… I am now a 6th Circle."

"..."

'Her words managed to freeze Philip for a moment before he raised his hands and clapped.'

"Congratulations, it must've been hard..."

"... What a lackluster reaction…" Viera said as her eyes rolled

"What? I'm almost D-Y-I-N-G from shock!"

"I thought you being a 5th circle was already impressive, but you beat me to it and you are now a 6th?!" He said with a surprised tone

"Don't try to fool me, I know you're joking…" She said as she waved her hand at him, shooing him away

'Philip immediately returned to normal.'

"Was it too obvious?" He said as he fixed his bow tie

"...#!"

He pisses me off… Focus...

"To this… I believe I owe you another apology." Viera said with a small nod

"Why though?" Philip said, this time, genuinely surprised

"While you showed me your power, I hid a portion of mine, and I believe…"

'But Philip interrupted her with a half-smile:'

"Wow there… Who told you I showed you everything? You thought that was all?"

'Viera opened her eyes and looked at him with a blank face.'

"Come on! I'm super amazing, that was nothing to me…"

/Crack…/

'Viera raised her hand and looked at him as ice formed around it…'

"Be serious, else I'll freeze you for real, and I don't care how strong you are I'll make sure to freeze you."

"..."

'Philip decided to shut up before he forced her to cause a mess…'

…

"Cough! So… Back at what I actually wanted to say…" Said Philip

"There is no need to apologize since I also hid something… If you can call that hiding. It was more like simply not needing it."

"That I can tell, almost everything died before I had the chance to even act..."

And it even makes me a bit guilty for taking half of all of the contracts...

'She looked at Philip again and smiled.'

"But we aren't done yet."

"We aren't?"

"Yes… Let me pick it up…" She said as she opened her backpack

'Viera was a student after all, so she was walking around with a backpack, one that was filled with books.'

'And from a quick glance, Philip read: Advanced Tetrahedronic formations Vol 23, and A simple guide to the law of Kikun Ji Vepol in regards to Incantations and Formations… Vol 3...'

'That simple guide was at a minimum 300 pages long.'

"..."

Sigh...

Magic is a tough thing to study… Power isn't easy to gain…

It isn't that simple to study nor as magical as in the stories...

'While Philip thought about her books, Viera took out a small and plain wooden brown box.'

"This is?" He asked

"It's quite a long story." Viera said

'Philip raised his pocket watch and saw that there were still 5 minutes until the Class was supposed to start.'

"We have some time."

"So, yesterday… My master came to visit me."

'This surprised Philip, who remembered what she had told him yesterday.'

"She did?! You told me it had been over a year since you met her, isn't that right?"

"Yes, last time, she approached me when I was getting ready to form my Fifth Circle, helping me with the process and answering many of my questions…"

He actually remembers...

'Viera looked at the sky with regret as she said:'

"Within a few days under her tutelage, I felt as if I had advanced more than in half a year of study on my own… But it's a shame she never sticks too long."

"And this time was no different, she came back to help me form my 6th circle... No, she stayed even less this time, leaving soon after helping me stabilize my condition."

"I had previously planned on doing this much later, probably around the time I became a 5th year..."

"But thanks to your help, I managed to buy a key material sooner and my Master helped with the rest…"

"That's great, but…"

What does that have to do with me?

'Viera looked at him with distaste, already figuring out what he was implying...'

"I know exactly what you are thinking… Do you have no shame being so rude?" Viera said with a frown

"What?! How dare you frame me!"

'But Viera ignored him and said:'

"Here, take this. My master told me to give this to you." She said as she raised the box

"?? Your master?"

What does she have to do with me?

Now, this is interesting.

"Don't ask me, I also have no idea about what this is, only that my master told me that this would be enough to repay you for everything you've done for me."

She also told me a few more things but… There is no need for you to know that.

"Is that so? Then I'm very curious about this item…" He said as he raised his hand to grab the box

/Fwush!/

'But Viera simply moved the box out of his hand, making him stare at her with blank eyes.'

"I'm not done yet."

"Fine, speak."

"Humph, it's like this… My master left a message for you. And that you can only get this object if you agree with what she has to say."

"This is making me more and more confused… So go on, deliver it to me!"

I'll think about the rest later.

"Of course… You just need to open the box…" She replied

'Philip looked at the box as Viera opened it, and a flash of light suddenly hit his eyes…'

/FLASH!/

…

"Urg my eyes..."

"What the fuck?" Philip said as he looked around the place

'He was now in an empty void of darkness…'

Shit! Was it a trap?!

But there was no..

"..."

"?!?!"

'As Philip looked around, he eventually saw a massive person staring at him from the darkness.'

'It was a woman with silver hair staring at him with her green eyes.'

"Your mind is more resistant than I thought, I almost miscalculated and failed to make this possible." She said, her voice echoing all around him

"Ehh..."

"There's no need to be wary, I seek you no harm." Said the woman

"Okay... So, who?" Philip asked calmly

"Viera's master." She said as he hair moved in the void as if it was floating on water

'Philip did not wait and soon asked:'

"Why?"

"Because there is something I need to tell you alone without my naive apprentice hearing... Or anyone to be honest." She replied without blinking

"But, how?"

'She smiled.'

"You're not the only one with a powerful mind, not that this was of any significance, magic would've done just the same, but I felt like doing it like this."

"Why?"

"A matter of preference if you will... So... Because so." She said as her lips moved, forming a smile

'But this smile didn't last long.'

"The energy I deployed within this box won't remain for long, so let's go over this quickly."

"..."

Tsk! This is what they all say, trying to be mysterious.

'The woman rolled her eyes.'

"I can hear you…"

"..."

She can?! Oh no my thoughts are going haywire…

"Focus, and hear the message I left you..." She said

"But wait... Are we actually talking?"

"Not quite, this is more of a vestige that I've left behind, a will contained within an object."

"Train hard, and one day, you'll find your own way of doing this... If your path ever leads you in such direction, that is."

'The woman looked at Philip and said:'

"I know. And hence, I am here." She said

'It was the only thing she said, but it carried a lot of weight… Especially for Philip.'

"What do you know?"

"More than what you should know."

"..."

A fancy way of saying for me to mind my own business but okay…

"... Philip, this is serious."

'Hearing his name sure made Philip's confusion increase.'

"Viera told you my name? Nice to meet you albeit a bit late."

"She…"

'The woman got into deep contemplation before she said:'

"Nice to meet you. My name is *****… Let's leave it at that."

"Your name is what? I didn't quite hear it."

"..."

'But she only looked at him as if expecting this to happen.'

"Okay then..."

'Philip looked at her with a poker face, but he also focused, not making a joke as her time wasn't infinite.'

"Is that all you wanted to say?"

"No… I'm also asking you to do something for me."

"Okay?..."

"Consider the box as payment."

"Wasn't it supposed to be a thank you gift?"

"You'll understand when you open it."

'She looked at his eyes and said:'

"What I want from you is simple, yet complex depending on your perspective…"

"I want you to take care of my apprentice, at least until I come back."

"Well… That will be hard as I'll…"

I have a fuck ton to do!

'The woman insisted:'

"You'll leave the Academy, I'm already aware of this development and I'll say that it's fine, just bring her with you."

"You what?!"

How does she... No, it's simple to determine that I won't remain at the Academy for long, even Fabrin realized that.

"..."

'She looked at him without interrupting him, was she agreeing, or was she hiding something?'

"Even so I…"

After I finish with this I'll go back and things will get even more…

"Figure that out yourself. But I'll give you a hint:"

"Things aren't as simple as they may seem."

"If the Universe dictates for the moon to disappear, is it supposed to silently accept it?"

"The power and actions necessary to change this situation aren't so easily taken and cultivated."

"The moon cannot go against the Cosmos just like an Ant cannot shake a mountain."

"So Philip, don't you think your actions are rather… Ironic?"

"What?"

"You who struggle against the natural course of things, aren't you just like the moon and the ant?"

"..."

"Struggle and struggle, but until when?"

"You barely have any idea of what you're doing and for what purpose and yet you…"

"Is that all you have to say? For someone with little time you talked quite a lot."

"I've yet to hear anything new." He said with an uninterested face

That doesn't matter to me. And a mountain? The moon and the Universe? Whatever.

I just feel like doing what I like and that's all.

"..."

'The woman suddenly smiled widely.'

"Ironic isn't it?... As in the end..."

"That was the struggle you choose to stick with."

/FLASH!/

…

"Philip?"

"Eh?"

'With the flash, Philip recovered his sight.'

'His eyes were still a bit unfocused but Philip had mostly recovered.'

"Are you okay? You're a bit out of it… Is this tiny stone so surprising for you?" Viera asked as she looked at a tiny stone inside the box with curiosity

"Stone?"

Oh yeah, she opened the box, triggering whatever her master had set up and that ended up bringing me to that place…

It seems not a lot of time has passed even though we talked for a minute.

What a fucking trip this was...

But... Was that truly use of Mental power? It seems I have much to learn…

And her Master… Who is she?

'But his attention was soon drawn towards the stone.'

"This is?" Asked Philip as he looked at the stone

'It was perfectly clear and round, and in the middle of it there was a strange rune that looked like the letter Theta from the Roman alphabet.'

'He grabbed the stone, and for a moment, he felt that the stone was going to melt like ice, but it recovered its shape, becoming solid once again…'

'Even when he used his Skill, nothing popped up, there was absolutely nothing on his mind about this tiny stone…'

"Hum?"

It feels… Odd?

'Until he felt a strange reaction inside his body… Coming from within his mind.'

My mental power is resonating with this… Why?

Wait a minute…

/CLICK!/

'This was the sound of everything clicking together inside his mind… The pieces of the puzzle connecting…'

"Oh, shit…"

"What?"

"Your master…"

"My master?" Asked Viera

"She's scary…"

It all makes sense... And at the same time don't.

"..."

'Without even understanding how, Philip got his hand on his first Origin Orb!'

'Was this a gift? A sign of fate? Of his future responsibilities?'

'What was Viera's master trying to say?'

'Whatever it was, Philip remained puzzled…'

…

/Around a minute of thinking heavily later.../

"Are you done thinking? Can you talk more clearly?" Viera asked puzzled

"Well, I… Yes."

"It seems that your master left a very cryptic message for me in the box, so when you opened it the flash of light…"

"Flash of light? What are you talking about?"

"You… You didn't see it?"

'Viera shook her head and said:'

"I may have not, but I believe you. My master has always been very… Unique in the way she handles things."

"So I believe you. Even though I felt absolutely no reaction when I opened this…" She said as she looked around the box, inspecting it

But he isn't lying, and that means whatever my master wanted to convey was for his ears only…

I don't like being kept in the dark like this sigh…

'Viera turned her sight to the stone in Philip's hand and asked:'

"With that out of the way, can you tell me what this is?"

'Philip almost cringed… But he opened his mouth to say:'

"This thing?... The value of this thing is relative, it can mean a lot and at the same time nothing at all…"

Because it has no real use that I know of, its value to me is 0, but since it is so important, it is priceless...

And in essence...

"Can you be more specific?" She asked with a frown

"I have no fucking idea!" Philip replied with a wide smile

"..."

That's it…

'Viera raised her hand, ready to punish this rude fellow…'

'But she blinked and he was gone!'

"Come back here!" she exclaimed as she ran to the corridors

…

/A few seconds later…/

"Where is that kid… OH! Philip, you're late!" Fabrin said with a thin smile as he waited by the door to the classroom

'Philip looked at him with a look of indignation before he took a deep breath and said:'

"Can we just… Not talk about it?"

Now I'm the one who's late...

"... Okay…"

'But Fabrin soon recovered and said:'

"Thank you for coming, I know there is a lot to discuss and I'll make sure to answer all of your questions as soon as this class ends."

"This time there'll be no troublemakers I assure you."

"I hope so…" Philip said with an awkward smile

/Step step step…/

'The sounds of someone walking soon arrived at his ears, he looked back to see Viera walking at him with menacing intent as a faint aura permeated her body.'

'He smiled and said:'

"Time to work?"

"..."

That girl…

Interesting.

'Fabrin frowned as he looked at Viera, but upon noticing Philip's look, he complied and they started the lesson.'

…

/2 and a half hours later…/

"And this shall be all for today, next Class will be a field one so make sure to be prepared, those who don't finish their homework will not be allowed to participate in it." Fabrin said as he put back a thick book in his suitcase

"See you all in 4 days…"

'After he was done, he turned to Philip and said:'

"Come with me Philip…"

"I'm right behind you… But can we stop somewhere to eat?"

'Fabrin smiled.'

"I know quite the interesting place, it's on me…"

"But maybe you'll want to talk with your girlfriend first before we go?"

"Girlfriend?" Philip asked confused

'Fabrin pointed at Viera, who was staring at him with sharp eyes from her high seat…'

'Philip's face changed as he replied:'

"She's not my girlfriend, I'm not into young girls…"

At least when the difference is so big, like come on…

"A shame, she's quite pretty though… And talented…"

"Whatever man, let's go…"

'But before he left Philip said something to Viera mentally:'

{We'll talk more later, as for the rock, don't mind it}

"?!"

'Viera almost dropped her pencil case on the ground due to how sudden this was.'

{If there is anything you need of me, you can always contact me later}

{No jokes this time}

'As he said that last line, Philip smiled at her and left after Fabrin.'

"..."

He just comes and invades my mind without a prior warning...

"Sigh."

I'm not even mad anymore…

'She organized her books and thought:'

Why am I even this fazed? This is his usual way of acting…

He's serious most of the time, and then he jokes around for no reason…

And the happier he is the more careless he becomes and the stupider his jokes become.

Sigh… I'll talk with him later, I have homework to do.

'Viera also left the classroom, on her way to do her own things…'

…

/Half an hour later…/

'After doing a quick stop at a cafe inside the Academy, the two made their way outside of the main Academy building and into the outside.'

"Alright, we're here." Fabrin said with a smile as he took a bite from his snack

'The two of them were currently in front of a large gate leading somewhere really fancy.'

'It was a large living block filled with large manors, each bigger than the next one… All protected by a pair of large walls, but those were there more to impede others from gazing inside rather than defending the place.'

"And this place is?" Philip asked

"The dormitories for the teachers and high-ranking members of the Academy."

"... A dormitory? This is like a small city…"

How much money...

"Yeah… People can be rather extravagant sometimes, to be honest, I am not that big of a fan either…"

"Too flamboyant for me. But it's the best place near my work so it's just convenient to live here."

My daughter hates it though…

"Anyway, let's go." Fabrin said as a red portal appeared in front of them

"..."

'But Philip didn't follow him.'

"Come on!"

"Why is this portal menacingly red?"

"Ah come on, you aren't going to back out right now?"

"I'm just asking sheesh…" Philip said as he stepped into the portal

'But he stopped and said as he looked at Fabrin:'

"Don't think I'm going with your petty provocation, I'm doing this out of my own vo…"

/THUD!/

'Fabrin just kicked Philip in the ass at an incredible speed before he said:'

"Smart ass…"

…

/5 Minutes later…/

"Oh?"

"It's quite a nice place." Philip said as he looked around

Nice decorations and atmosphere, it's actually a decent place to live.

I think I did this place dirty by thinking it was fancy for the sake of it, I guess the mansions back on Earth have corrupted what it means to have one for me.

A mansion should be the peak of everything... Home-related.

"It's right on the first floor." Fabrin said as he took out his coat

'After teleporting inside the Manor, Fabrin led Philip to a cozy office where he took a seat on a large couch and said:'

"We're here, now we can talk."

'He raised his hand and pointed at an armchair in front of him:'

"Take a seat."

'And Philip did just as he asked.'

"..."

It's super comfortable...

"..."

'For a few seconds, the two looked at each other without knowing what to say…'

'But before long, Fabrin said:'

"First, how about we deal with the matter of yesterday before discussing the future?" Fabrin asked

"That's fine for me."

"Good, in that case, thank you, you've kept your part and saved my daughter. For that I'm ever grateful." He said with a bow

"I just did what I promised, although I think she was just unlucky…"

"Ha… But that doesn't change the fact that she was being careless." He replied with a frown

"We'll discuss your reward soon, I said it before but I would train you and the rest was already resolved and there is no need to talk about it further right?"

"Unless you still feel indebted to me."

'Philip shook his head.'

"Good…"

"Aside from that, I imagine you collected quite a bit of credit after that day right?"

"That's correct." Philip replied with a smile

"Do you have something in mind for that? Or have you already chosen something?"

'Philip raised his hand to scratch his shoulder and said:'

"I don't even know where to begin."

"Heh, in that case, I have the right thing for you." Fabrin replied with a smile

"But let's go step by step…"

"First, your body… For me, there isn't really a lot we can do in that department."

'Philip looked at himself, and at how his stats did not even budge an inch despite him training every day, and unfortunately, he had to agree with him.'

"You are already very very strong, you just need to use what you have effectively and fully fuse your combat style with your body, so buying any materials or resources with that in mind would be useless."

"Second, you don't train in any of the conventional arts I know off, it seems to be a mix of martial arts and something else. I won't ask you what it is, because even if I knew, it wouldn't make a difference."

'That is true, the only form of energy he has trained on is the energy from the Bloodborne universe, aside from that, Magic is only a tool he learned how to manipulate on a very minute scale.'

"So buying any resources to improve that department is useless because even if there was, I would have no idea."

"So this ends us with nothing as your equipment seems pretty good already, and unless you need something really specific, there is only one thing I can recommend you to buy."

'Philip thought about his words and said:'

"I agree with what you said, and I don't think there is anything I need right now unless it's something truly oddly specific, and if I can't remember, then it isn't important."

I already have many tools and items, most of which I made on my own...

So unless they are selling a flying car for me to move around in the world then I don't know.

"That's the spirit!" Fabrin said with a smile

'He pointed towards the window and said:'

"How about you book a special training room?"

What do you think happened?

Did I do something wrong? Like missing a few lines in their interactions?

I am always open to suggestions.

Besides, I think we're close.

With the acquisition of the first OG, Philip can now focus on his plans to acquire the next one and then leave this Academy for good!

But there is a lot to do, and right now, it seems we'll have a...

TRAINING MONTAGE!

There will probably be a time skip followed by the execution of his plan and explosive goodbye to this place!

We've taken long enough in this place, time to explore the outside world!

And gain a New Class! Being a cool Samurai was okay, but what about the next one?

Cheers for the next chapter!
