Chapter 14

"Lin, hurry up we gotta go check the pill shops." Erin

"Just hold on a minute, young princess, we have to bring this to the patriarch."

"Ughh, hurry up." As Lin goes to buy the art, Erin begins to look around.

.....

"How can we help you sir?" I asked, neither humble nor arrogant. Even though he has quite the oppressive aura, i am able to relieve it ever so slightly by repelling the heat.

"Hi my name is Lin of house Luchi, personal butler of patriarch Luchi, and I am looking to buy this art." The man said giving his full introduction.

Well since we are introducing ourselves, "Nice to meet you butler Lin. I am Imhotep of house Yami, grandson of the Darkwood Assassin and twin son of the Forest General, and that art is a high Tier 1 Martial art so the price will be 145gp. If you are looking for a discounted price you may look at the other items and I will offer a deal from their." Can you say complete 180. No more haughtiness and no more aura.

"Ahh so it is young master Imhotep, nice to meet you. May I ask what you recommend?" He asked.

"Hmm, I have heard the Luchi clan was built on embers. Please take a look at the pill Helas Awakening and tell me what you think."

"Oh no problem. Let me see ahhh SEVENTY-FIVE GOLD PIECES PER PILL!! What robbery is this?" He asked clutching at his chest.

Smirking and nonchalant "Check the description."

"What could possibly be worth so much?" As he read on his face turned serious. "Young miss come here please."

"What is it now Lin? Can't you make decisions for yourself?" As she made her way over she peeked at my smirking face and blushed ever so slightly.

"Young master, Imhotep, is this description true?" He said skeptical of the pills description.

"100%"

"Then might I ask what would happen, in theory, if someone with a yang constitution were to consume it?" When he asked I could feel the temperature start to rise again. It's probably from anxiousness.

"Well from what I have read about the yang constitution is that it is perfect for the fire element. It naturally attracts the fire element, so if you give that someone fire essence it would not be good. If I had to make an example, it would be like this. Firstly, the body is like a locked closet the yang body is a closet constantly filling itself with fire energy. So using direct fire essence would be like ripping the door open and stuffing a mountain of more fire energy in. That would be deadly, but that pill is just the key to unlock the door. And has properties to better control the fire element." I said confidently.

"Then in respect of the Yami clan the Luchi clan will like to buy 100 of these pills." He said hesitantly.

"Well if that's the case then the art is on the house. Achilles please escort these two to their clan to complete the purchase." I said hurriedly.

"No need I have the money right here." He said pulling out 75 pouches from his ring. Woah, why would so much money be with the butler and not the patriarch? Welp not my business. That's 7500 gp. We made it rich on day one. Well before the day even started.

.....

"Lin, why are we running?"

"Sorry young miss but we have to report this to the patriarch. Let alone the martial art, but if these pills really work then this is big. Really big. It could even worsen the tension between the factions." Lin said mid-panic.

"Huh, how so? It's just a pill, right?" Erin said confused.

"Here miss Erin eat this pill." He said stuffing it down her throat. Instantly, fire energy seemed to explode out from her. "Jesus it's worse than I thought we have to hurry."

...…

Time to go to school. But first, let me check Achilles stats

[Name: Achilles

Level: 2

Tier 2

Might: 395

Durability: 395

Intelligence: 395

Will: 395

Known Elements: Sword]

Woah, completely balanced. But, regular people don't have the ability to control their stats. I guess he's just a natural monster. Perfectly balanced. And he has the Sword Element.

"Achilles take this." I hand him the Tier 2 sword. The second his hand comes into contact with the sword, you could hear it hum to life. "You shall be my sword from here on out. You are to follow me at all times unless ordered otherwise."

"Yes, milord."

We meet Sanji and Amen at home. Then, all four of us make our way to the Sect. On the way I discuss the Megamental, the new daggers and this mornings sell with Amen. He suggested writing a letter to the patriarch about what was implied in this mornings purchase. So we did on the way. The letter mentioned how the Luchi clan might have someone with a yang constitution and the pills we sold. Better to be safe rather than sorry. We weren't really worried about being on time as we could just say we're new here and got lost.

Finally, we arrived at the sect.

...….

Meanwhile in a crimson castle.

"PATRIARCH, PATRIARCH!!"

"Lin why in the hell are you yelling in my castle? And, why are you both out of breath and sweaty?" Patriarch asked bewildered.

"Patriarch you aren't gonna believe this." Lin then begins to tell the patriarch about what he found.

"What? No way, Erin come here, show me." When he said that Erin released her aura and the temperature in the room shot up astronomically. "It's true. You said this pill increases how much you control, the skill of control, potency, and can awaken fire affinity? This is big. Very big. Mobilize the soldiers we need to surround that shop and get the rest of those pills before anyone notices especially those beastmasters. Also give the pills we have to those who haven't awoken their affinity and start their training. Everyone get ready for a battle just in case. And inform the Tsuchi clan that we might end up at odds with the Yami clan. Hurry, move, move."
