I returned to the academy swiftly after that.
While I completed the work at night, it took till morning to verify whether Shawn was the culprit or not. Even though there I was handing them the stolen items, though so were missing from his cache, what remained should be more than enough to say that Shawn was the thief.
Even with all the evidence I procured and presented, they had the rule to re-verify the evidence. Unlike the investigation, it wouldn't take too much ti, especially when there was a confession from the culprit himself.
Yeah, I recorded the conversation that we had at the abandoned house. To be exact, I started recording the mont that thief appeared before and the city guard, where we had laid out a trap for him.
It has everything that the city guard needed to book him.
Normally they should thought, How was I able to track him?
That was not their concern, as long as they had all the evidence. Ragos is unlike Earth where one needs to show how they got the proof of the cri as long as it is genuine.
In Ragos, there is sothing called court.
Unless you are a noble and are dealing with Internal family affairs, courts are where the culprits are prosecuted.
This was established so that the nobles wouldn't outright kill commoners, though it was still prevalent as no one would be willing to collect the evidence or co out as a witness for the cris of nobles on commoners. So courts beca the place where cris related solely to commoners were dealt with.
Though Shawn is awakened, he stopped at Tier-1 and never reached Tier-2 rank. So he was considered a low-class citizen, which is not much different from commoners who haven't awakened.
Only Tier-2 and above have certain privileges that others don't.
Since the cris associated with the culprit were all thefts, the city guard had to send them to the court where the judges would decide what punishnt would fit the cris.
Greed leads to cris but he was lucky and had a brain, though it didn't work perfectly well. If it did, then he wouldn't have challenged by writing my na on the walls of a victim's house.
The reason why I said that this fool has a brain was because, even though he was greedy, he didn't resort to killing his business partner. If he had done that, the punishnt would definitely be a lot more severe than it would be once he was presented in court.
Lucky for him, he only did robberies, but he committed ten of them and also falsified a cri. I don't think that he could get out of this ss easily.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with . So I escaped from there as soon as I could after I got my Mission Accomplished slip, which is the only thing that can be used to get my points for completing the mission.

It didn't take long for to reach the academy and once I reached the academy, I went straight to the mission hall where I received the mission a week ago. Unlike when I took the mission, this ti I have to go to the mission submission or completion counters. Only by registering there would one get the mission points.
The city guard has posted the mission for the academy students. Not every mission would be outsourced nor would go to the academy.
Since the mission was inside the capital and the guards were swamped, the mission went to the academy for a third-year student like to solve. If it was to hunt so monster or a criminal who escaped, it would probably go to the guilds, where the adventurers would pick those up or that was what I was told.
"Hello, I am here to submit my mission completion", I spoke to the young student who was at the counter.
"The mission completion slip and your student ID, please", the boy at the counter asked and I complied.
He took a mont to check before he spoke again, "Everything is in order. Please check that your points were credited and here is your ID".
I checked and there they were, "Yes the points were credited and Thank you", I said and disappeared from there.
I already wasted quite so ti on this mission. I should buy the materials I need and should seclude myself to improve my skill and bloodline but that would not be possible.
This is not a cultivation novel, where a person would disappear for years trying to improve their cultivation. If the society where I am living was like that, then disappearing for a few months wouldn't be a problem but it was not.
I have to call my family every now and then. If not, the consequences would be severe. Though I don't know what might happen I don't intend to find out anyway.
If I was away in the wilds hunting, then my mother would understand that there would be no signals but even then I may have to call in every two or three weeks at maximum.
The main problem was that I was still in the third year.
The missions that were allocated to us would be near the academy and the capital itself. So it wouldn't take too long to complete the mission and return.
I can't go on a long journey for the missions. it was not allowed. the third year was like an intro into the outside world. There was no urgent need for soldiers at this mont. So we are allowed to grow in a safe environnt in a constant path.
It is not the sa for every kingdom in this world. Many countries face constant threats from monsters and surrounding nations.
There are also so racial wars ongoing in so kingdoms. There the kids are to grow quickly into adults, so that they would be ready for wars.
I don't know whether I should be happy that I was born in such a normal country or not.
I should be happy, I suppose. Sure in a war-torn country, upgrading is paramount before anything else but those countries also lack families, families that were not broken.
For , they are more important. I can always find another way to get out of this problem.

After I got the mission points, I imdiately converted them into resources that can be easily traded on the cosmic market at high prices.
There are many worlds connected through this. Not every world has the sa composition of resources. Sure common tals like Iron may be available in abundance but certain magic tals that are abundant here would be scarce sowhere else.
In addition to that, the herbs and magic fruits that grow here may not be available on so other planet.
So the best way to earn credits was to use the cheap items here that can sold for high prices. Only this way can I be able to afford the resources that are required for my Dragon Blood Evolution skill.
The materials I needed for this skill improvent were to be associated with dragons in one way or another. This was why the resources I needed were rare and costly.
In Ragos, it was almost impossible to get these resources without enough power and wealth.
So, the cosmic market beca my source for these materials.
There are a few sellers who sell draconic materials. What I observed was that a few of these sellers, only have items that have sothing to do with dragons. They sell everything draconic from at, skin, bones, and blood obtained from dragons or related monsters to herbs, fruits etc... that were tainted by the dragon blood.
There are a lot of materials but no matter the world they co from, they are pricey. So I can't get too many. Moreover, the competition for such rare resources was too much. These resources would be emptied within hours after they appear on the market.
I wonder how they were able to supply so many draconic materials in a constant manner. To be able to supply like that, there should be an abundance of such materials.
Are there too many dragons in their world?
Are dragons like sheep or goats in their world?
I have no idea and I don't care if they were massacring them in order to gain wealth faster.
Wherever that was happening, it's not my world. Moreover, even if that was happening in this world, it has nothing to do with . As I said before, I am not a Saint, who would worry about everyone.
I would only care about the people I care about and no one else. This is my stand now and forever.
Now, even though I have so materials, I don't think it would be easy to reach peak Tier-5.
I think that I should visit those secret realms whose portals are inactive. I hope that no one is currently occupying them.
