Jeanny was waiting for Jack inside the Guild Hall. She and Tip were managing the guild using the control platform.
Grace was there as well. She was chatting with Captain Whitebeard. Jack had promised her that they would be leaving together for the Council of Charites tomorrow morning.
Jack ca to Jeanny and gave her the four technique books.
Jeanny looked at the books with a complicated feeling. She was happy that the guild got more arsenal to strengthen its mbers. But at the sa ti, she felt the strain on their mana core needs.
"Do you have any mana cores to copy this so I can learn them now?" Jack asked her.
Jeanny gave him an annoyed look, which confused Jack. He was wondering if he had done sothing wrong.
"These are all unique-grade technique books. I only have enough to copy one of them. Which one do you want to learn?"
"Oh…" Such a pity, Jack thought. His eyes turned to Grace, who caught his aning. Grace said, "I already gave you all of mine during the war."
"I've donated all of mine to Jeanny," Tip said without being asked.
Jack accepted the fact that he could only learn one of the books before leaving for the Council of Charites. The others would have to wait until he returned.
"This one then," Jack pointed.
Jeanny stored three of the four books. She then activated her divine ability and copied the one Jack had picked. She handed the copy to Jack after completing the task.
Jack accepted the book and learned it without delay.

He still had 300,000 souls inside his Container of Souls. He used them and upgraded this spell to level 4. Each level increases the spell's duration by one minute. At level 4, the duration was 33 minutes.
"I don't have mana cores to copy the other books, but I have a different book for you," Jeanny said and took a technique book out of her inventory. "I copied it so ti ago but never got the chance to give it to you."
When Jack used his Inspect, he found the book contained a skill ant for Beastmaster. The skill's na was Beast Tantrum.
"Thank you!" Jack said and accepted the book. He had the avenues to get Blade Dancer and Archmage's skills but not Beastmaster's. He would have to rely on kill drops or quests for that. Hence, he was happy when Jeanny gave him one.
Jack learned the skill and then opened his skill page to study its description.

It's a skill that empowered Therras. This should give his pet an added edge when needed.
Jack talked with Jeanny for a while about the state of the guild before going to the Space-Ti Chamber to sleep. He planned to abuse his authority again and use that chamber for sleeping.
But once he entered the chamber, he knew his plan was botched. Even with the enlarged space, there were still so many mbers training inside, and they were all noisy. He wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully under such a condition.
He ran to the corner where Yrin, Tenka, and the two nightmares were at. Fewer mbers were there since they knew they were not allowed to disturb the nightmares, but the noise was still heard. He also saw Bowler and The Man there helping the satyrs take care of the nightmares.
The nightmares themselves seed larger than the last ti Jack saw them. Considering they spent all their ti inside this chamber, it was not weird. The ti difference had them practically living for more than two years already since then.
Jack asked Yrin if she or the nightmares were bothered by the noise. He would use this excuse to chase out the players from this chamber if so.
Unfortunately, Yrin said that she didn't mind. She even felt like the cacophony of sounds from the mbers training here made her feel like they were back in their village. She inford Jack that satyrs were a noisy race. Jack didn't know since he didn't spend much ti in their village during his visit to the underworld.
Yrin assured Jack that the nightmares were also comfortable with the noise.
Jack was dejected. Since he couldn't find a reason to abuse his authority, he didn't push it. He introduced Grace who had followed him to Yrin, Tenka, Sol, and Fira. Grace easily beca friends with the four, especially the two nightmares.
After chatting for a while, Jack excused himself to retire to the lodging quarters. Grace stayed to play with Sol and Fira a while longer. Jack reminded her to not stay too late. They would be leaving early tomorrow morning.
Before he left, he looked at Bowler and The Man. Those two seed awfully close to the two nightmares and their custodians. He wondered what they were up to. But as long as they stayed respectful to these four guests, he didn't mind. He forgot about the two and left.

The next morning, Grace was already waiting at the guild courtyard.
Jeanny and Paytowin were there to send them off. The two would also leave for the Council of Elpo the next day, Jeanny still had so matters to attend to today.
Jack checked the coordinates John had given them for the location of the Council of Charites. It was located in the Sylvan region, which was the border region between Aurebor, Liguritudum, and Hydrurond. They practically had to cross the enemy territory to reach there. It shouldn't be a problem since it was only the two of them.
They would not enter any of the territories occupied by the enemies. Instead, they would cross through the Dorwin region, another no man's land. In this way, they should avoid detection.
