Chapter 8:

It was 10 p.m., and a darkish night time enveloped the environment.

Phillip walked leisurely alongside the hall of the women’ dormitory.

“….”

The moonlight solid a brilliant glow, rendering any luminous artifacts pointless. Furthermore, Phillip possessed exceptionally acute senses.

With a slight awakening of his senses, he may even hear the faint sounds of scholars tossing and turning inside their rooms.

The primary and second flooring of the women’ dormitory have been designated for the upperclassmen, particularly the 4th and fifth graders.

Supervisor Diana had talked about that some leniency may very well be granted to the upperclassmen, contemplating they have been principally seventeen or eighteen years outdated. Consequently, Phillip had no intention of getting into their rooms except completely essential.

Reaching the tip of the fitting hall on the primary ground, at exactly room 112, Phillip paused and stood earlier than the staircase resulting in the second ground.

It was at that second {that a} barely audible voice reached his ears, originating from room 110.

“… Does anybody know who’s on responsibility immediately?”

“It should be Supervisor Perak. Why do you ask?”

“I’m having hassle sleeping, so I assumed I’d have a glass of wine.”

“Can we have now some too?”

“Nothing comes at no cost; give us some snacks in return.”

Phillip contemplated for a second. The fifth-year college students on the primary ground have been eighteen years outdated. On this world, reaching eighteen meant being handled considerably like an grownup, permitting for reasonable alcohol consumption.

Contemplating it was their remaining 12 months earlier than commencement, a sure stage of flexibility was essential in coping with such conditions.

Phillip minimized any indicators of his presence. Utilizing his magic, he silenced his footsteps and managed his respiratory to the purpose the place it was virtually imperceptible, eliminating any concern of being detected as he approached.

Quietly counting to 3, he swiftly swung open the door, and he was greeted by wide-eyed women, their eyes widening additional as they heard the creaking sound. Gathered round a desk in the midst of the room, dressed of their pajamas, they sat there in shock.

“Oh, hey, Supervisor.”

One of many college students, who was about to uncork one thing, appeared shocked and set free an involuntary squeak.

“Hush!”

“… I used to be about to inform you all to submit your punishment factors, however since I caught you earlier than that, I’ll let it slide this time.”

“Oh, thanks.”

“For those who actually wish to have a drink, move one glass round. For those who’re having hassle sleeping, a minimum of do it that approach.”

With these phrases, Phillip closed the door as soon as once more. Then, intentionally creating the sound of footsteps transferring away, he leaned in to take heed to the voices coming from inside.

“I assumed my coronary heart was going to cease. Lily.”

“Isn’t that Supervisor Phillip Oswald?”

“I noticed him as soon as at a celebration after I was youthful. I by chance ran into him whereas operating round. I assumed I used to be going to die of fright. However now he looks like a very totally different particular person.”

Phillip set free a deep sigh.

‘Oh, Phillip, it’s a troublesome job?’

He ascended to the second ground, feeling a combination of feelings and ideas swirling inside him.

The fourth graders remained nonetheless, as in the event that they have been all mendacity of their designated spots. As Phillip ascended to the third ground, reserved for the third graders, he observed somebody, nonetheless groggy, strolling alongside the hall.

“Howdy. Haam.”

Curly hair and spherical glasses. It was a woman that resided in Phillip’s reminiscence.

“Ah, Cheryl, isn’t it? The place are you heading? It’s previous bedtime.”

“Haam… I would like to make use of the restroom… Oh.”

In a momentary lapse, Cheryl blurted out one thing and instantly snapped again to actuality. There stood the good-looking supervisor who had witnessed her embarrassing second.

She smiled sheepishly to herself, pondering, ‘How can I die with out feeling any ache?’

Having returned late from an prolonged shift on the library, this sudden encounter caught her off guard.

Phillip chuckled awkwardly.

“You should be fairly drained. Hurry again and get some relaxation.”

“… Sure.”

Contemplating her well-being, Phillip proceeded on to the fourth ground. Although he heard a slight rustling sound from behind, he selected to disregard it.

Other than some full of life chatter emanating from a number of rooms, the second graders appeared comparatively calm. Since flipping their blankets and whispering with pals was a privilege allowed within the dormitory, Phillip avoided intervening except the noise grew to become extreme.

Then, from the ground above, Phillip discerned the sound of somebody sobbing quietly.

His tempo quickened. He knew the room assigned to Lua.

“… Sigh.”

Traces of dried tears marked the corners of Lua’s eyes, and there have been dried milk stains round her mouth. It appeared that the maid had fed her heat milk earlier than placing her to sleep.

‘What are you going to do along with her?’

“What can I do? I’ve already made up my thoughts.”

‘…?’

“I’ll take private duty for her care from the very starting.”

‘I used to be silly from the beginning. My inhabitation of Phillip itself is a major variable, so there’s no approach the story will observe the unique course.’

Phillip contemplated, and gently stroked his chin whereas being misplaced in thought.

If Phillip had really needed to observe the unique story, he would have needed to battle Lua in the midst of the second semester. Then, he would have been expelled from the academy and compelled to wander aimlessly, uncertain of the place he would find yourself. Nevertheless, Phillip had no information of what precisely would transpire throughout that point.

From the very starting, issues had taken a twisted flip.

“Effectively, now that it’s come to this, there’s no different selection. I’ll need to preserve her shut and personally foster her progress.”

Lua was the only successor of the legendary “Sword Saint Solvain” on this world.

Since she possessed unimaginable potential, there was no have to strictly adhere to the variables and twists of the unique story.

Phillip believed that he may make her sturdy by guiding her alongside the best way.

Nevertheless, even within the strategy of guiding her, some cautious cultivation was essential. Phillip had deliberate to provoke that first step any more.

“For starters, let’s strive monetary remedy.”

‘What’s monetary remedy?’

“You’ll discover out quickly sufficient.”

Phillip as soon as once more left the room.

His vacation spot was the bustling buying district exterior the academy.

As a result of presence of noble college students who leased mansions exterior the academy, households of college members, or academy associates, the industrial space had flourished. It was additionally a map within the sport the place hidden easter eggs or hidden paths may very well be found, as gamers have been free to come back and go.

“Grasp, it looks like these individuals don’t wish to do enterprise. All of the doorways are closed!”

It was 8 o’clock within the morning, and the streets have been nonetheless quiet.

Alchemy workshops, weapon retailers, boutiques, and ateliers have been but to open, and even the eating places have been simply making ready to unlock their doorways.

After all, Phillip’s vacation spot was not a store.

He traversed the buying district and headed in direction of the outskirts the place a canal related to Aldaea Lake. It was a few dozen kilometers away.

‘Why have you ever come right here?’

“I’ve one thing to choose up close by… Ah, right here it’s.”

In preparation for potential floods, there was a dam close to the realm, and beneath a chunk of land that unusually grew low, lay Phillip’s goal.

Phillip stepped onto the specified land and paced round a number of occasions. His heightened senses whispered to him that there was a hidden area a number of meters under the floor.

“That is undoubtedly it. Then… ‘An unsure funding for the longer term.’”

As Phillip uttered the passphrase, the bottom beneath his ft trembled as if it have been an earthquake.

“Squeak! What’s occurring?”

Phillip took a number of steps again, and instantly, the bottom break up open, revealing a sq. passage and a descending staircase.

‘Grasp, you’re not planning to go down there, are you? Please, I encourage you, don’t.’

“However I’m going down.”

‘Eek… It’s terrifying within the darkness.’

“… Don’t fear, it can turn into brighter as soon as we descend.”

True to Phillip’s phrases, as they descended the dimly lit staircase for about two ranges, the environment grew brighter. They’d reached an underground chamber, its partitions product of meticulously carved stones.

“I’ll need to take these too.”

Phillip glanced on the quite a few luminous stones embedded within the ceiling, relishing the sight. As he recalled, every of those radiant stones was an exorbitantly priced merchandise, price ten gold cash apiece.

Within the middle of the chamber stood a solitary outdated desk. On prime of the desk rested a field, roughly the scale of two human heads mixed.

“The Golden Seal of Joseph.”

The merchandise he sought was believed to be inside that field.
