Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Impending
"Okay so you an that instance you just found yourself in your room"
"Exactly"
"Like soone took you there?"
"Exactly"
"And you expect ? Us to believe that"
"Exactly"
"I believe Master" Braschiold raised his hand. Sigrid gnarled at him, he quickly shrinks back at the glance of the angel of death.
Jon smiled, "I want to believe he has his reasons for keeping it"
"I’ve had enough of that Jon, he’s good with almost everything but hides too much, at first I thought he was just a dummy that was blessed with luck but as it continued to go on and on you started to look less like a dummy and more like a pretender"
Jon tried to stop her, "Sigrid that is to -"
Rein raised his hand signalling that Jon should not interfere, Jon imdiately shut up.
’What is that is it the sa Reinard I know. His expression I can’t even predict it anymore’
"If I tell will you will you believe?"
"Why not, you should trust us as much as we trust you"
Everyone was silent and watching since only Sigrid had the balls to go up against Rein like that especially since the second test.
"I t with a god and almost got killed, a god that could transform to a sentinel and kill
just with a finger, he separated
in a different dinsion, he was gonna erase my existence but then I guess you were right when you said I am a dummy full of luck"
Rein stood up.
"I need to go rest up, it’s been a long day for . The party will be going on a dungeon excavation in two days you all better be prepared."
Rein went out of the party house parlour.
’Rein has changed’
Jon sighed and looked at Sigrid who seed to be regretting what she just did. As much as all of them were finding it very hard to believe they couldn’t question the truth Rein spoke at that mont so it marvelled at them and at the sa ti made them feel shaful.
Thinking perhaps was suffering a lot more than all of them.
"Well, you already heard the party leader. We have an excavation tomorrow, we better go get ready, it’s a dungeon"
Everyone began to disperse slowly.
Arnette approached Jon, "Reinard has changed"
"I noticed too, it might have been his near-death experience that is causing this"
"No, it’s not that, it’s a massive change... I can’t see his future"
"wasn’t it like that before?"
"I could see pieces and had gut feelings but this ti around all I could feel from my gut was fear and dominance"
"..." I
Jon was confused.
"As much as I want to know what exactly is wrong I have to be careful, let’s look out for his reaction during the excavation"

On reaching the corner to his private quarter Rein fell on the floor and gripped his chest tight.

The pain in Rein’s chest continued and he began to find it hard to breathe but he found his way to his room and laid on his bed.
Azes woke up only to see Rein collapsed. He placed his hands on the chest.
’....’
The look on his face was not good. He cast a spell to relieve Rein of the pain and went back to sleep.

Quetz was very indecisive she had not thought far ahead into the future but ever since ntioned Redmon becoming a guild even after the academy she was tasked for the first ti in her lifeti to choose a side. The imperial family had a goal, each single one of them that attended the academy had sothing they want or sothing their father has tasked them with. For Mahuizoh it was to either win the heart of the heir of the Duke of wealth or make him cease to exist and she was being indolent about it.
Choosing Rein would an Quetz was willing to betray her family since they all know the animosity the Emperor bears towards Rein father for being too rich. She cared for her own family so much even though she never acted like it, even though Mahuizoh was a beautiful, cunning and greedy woman just like their mother she still loved her and would protect her even with her life at stake. She never sided with Neza because she too just like Zolin and Cualli think Neza is being too greedy, the crown prince deserves his position more than anybody. Coveting sothing that was soone else’s was greedy and she hated Neza for it but she couldn’t bla him either, their mother had put in him that goal, the way all of them turned out was as a result of their mother. Maybe Cualli turned out to be different because he was stubborn from the onset and grew up around the crown prince.
She thought about it over and over again yet did not see herself turning her back on her family, as the first daughter of her mother, she had a responsibility she had to uphold even if the family was broken her duty should be to put it back together not to turn her back.
She sighed and closed her eyes as the cold breeze blew on her white skin, her short red hair flowed irregularly not obeying the direction of the wind’s blow. It was getting to the end of the year.
"I should tell them my decision after the excavation"

At the Dungeon Committee.
One of the dungeon committees submits Rein’s application to excavate an S-tier dungeon.
The Head of the Committee read through the application as he gave his reply,
"The only S-tier dungeon available for excavation is Azrael’s, and that was where the issue with the fire dragon happened, there’s still a lot of -"
He paused,
"Is anything wrong sir?"
"This guy is the owner of the demonic beast that killed Azreal and caused the fire dragon to turn back"
"ehh?! Really"
The Head of the Committee sat to his back and locked his fingers beneath his chin.
"Shall I give him or shall I not?"
"Can I say sothing, sir?"
"Speak Mathias"
"I think we shouldn’t, what if the fire dragon appears?"
"That is the main reason I’m considering giving him access"
"But they will get killed"
"But then I will be able to confirm so things since when did the academy care so much about lives. I would be gaining a piece of valuable information on the fire dragon, the sacrifice of so outsider is not too much to pay"
"But sir that is not for us to decide"
"Mathias! We are just granting them access, we had no idea it was even the dungeon the fire dragon ca from, they won’t die will they, there’s not even a boss monster there since Azreal has been killed already."
Mathias bowed and turned back
"Okay sir" He left.
"Tchh, how troubleso, timid!"
He took the paper and stamped it while grinning.

Nozick had a lot to deal with since coming back, his job was not particularly a hot topic like the glazier or the dark assassin but it was a strong job. More than being a job it was a culture, a way of life; The monastic culture was the path Nozick decided to walk before facing the job master he had no idea he was going to regret his decision at so point.
"What?! You will cut my hair?"
"Right now you about to start learning the true way of a monk, the way demands that all monks be void of emotions and unnecessary attachnts"
"Ehh? I don’t think you guys understand, I’m a prince, a prince, this hair is heaven-bliss, you can’t cut it, I have never cut my hair in my whole life"
"Exactly, the way of Monasticism demands that you cut ties with such things. Death to oneself and the world and all devotion to the almighty and his works"
"Wait wait is this not suppose to be a kind of overpowered fight type job where you train your mind and body and seek power from a higher realm."
"Yes. But only when your heart truly settles in with the almighty can you reach nirvana: a state of competency, lacking nothing, needing nothing. My goal is to make every one of my students be able to reach that point, that is the goal of our teaching and ways. However, you are my only student"
"I don’t want to cut my hair!! I won’t!!!"
"Fine, young man will be able to keep his hair if he defeats my disciple a graduate of this academy who has decided to give his all to the almighty and stay away from the world"
A young bald man stepped out shirtless, his chest was so broad that it made Nozick feel inferior even though his physique wasn’t bad either.
He pulled down his shirt too and scoffed at the monk as he made his chest dance. The monk gave him a disinterested face.
Nozick was agitated. "I will give you a big beating!!"
