“ Excuse me, sir and madam. The Duke is calling an assembly soon to discuss what you were told earlier about the necromancer. I shall wait outside while you get ready so I can lead you there.”
“ Wait, what about them.”
Xilna pauses half closing the door and turns back to look at the five constructs.
“ The staff of this dorm has been informed of your summons... unique characteristics, but not the rest of the staff. Which should be done by tomorrow. They should be fine if left here for now. If there is nothing else. We really should get going.”
“ Alright, we are coming then. I guess you five should remain in this room for now. Rachael will pick up you three before she returns to her room.”
Having received their orders, the five constructs put a fist to their chests before wandering to various parts of the room. The boss and one of Rachael’s female constructs move to the desk full of books, while the rest pick more random places, like a corner.
As the three left they missed noticing the boss construct picking up one of the books and started to read it. The same book that Jeff was reading earlier.

“ So, I think my skeletons need clothing, Xilna, can you have some simple commoner garb arranged for them.”
“ Of course sir, I shall see to it.”
“ Also tomorrow, I would like to arrange a wake-up call. Halfway between when I ordered breakfast this morning and dawn. I want to be woken up and have the same breakfast I had this morning. I will need to be led to a workout area after I eat, so I begin exercising and other training. Maybe arrange someone to help me with that as well.”
“ Very good sir. And what about you madam? Shall I pass a message to your meander?”
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Rachael thought on it a moment before shaking her head.
“ No, I still have to think about my future. But clothing for my own constructs that Jeff gave me would be nice as well.”
This comment caused Xilna to pause briefly, barely noticeable to the other two.
“ And may I ask, how this occurred?”
“ I don’t mind. It seems I can give a secondary class similar to my main. I am at the cap for a while, however.”
“ Oh, wonderful news that is. Being able to give secondary classes means you can teach others the class, and it is inheritable. As a summoner, you will be very sought after by those that do not like being on the front lines.”
Jeff blinks a little surprised to this news but does not comment on it further. The rest of the walk to what appeared to be an outdoor training yard went in silence. Xilna lead the two to the red banner where several of the other reborn were already chatting amongst themselves. Jeff did not miss the look of a couple of guys in the back who were eyeing Xilna hatefully. One of which had a rather large red imprint of a hand on his face. Wisely, he decided to avoid those two. After leading them to the banner, Xilna left to tend to her errands.

Duke Randolph was quite annoyed when he reached the podium, after giving a wave of his hand the pair of trumpet players brought their instruments to their lips and blew. He never learned the intricacies of wind instruments nor had he ever cared, however, he always did enjoy when they silenced the masses. Especially, when they knew how to carry a tune.
“ Greetings champions. If you noticed, we have a few missing from your numbers. Before you all start to try to figure out who, I will make it easy. The entirety of black group has either taken a reclass potion and has reclassed to be in one of the other groups, or well, made to be not a future problem. Unfortunately, one clever idiot decided to respec right back into his original class and lied to us about it. Unfortunately, three of the red dorm were killed because of this deception. Amy Fisher, Carlos Karmel, and Steve Lewis. In addition, two more are not among us. Zack and April Walker. Both are from blue group. April because she took the easy way out and Zack, because he thought it would be a good idea to get what he wanted from the staff, and found he is no match for a maid whose main class is a level 86 swordsman.
Overall, most of you have been found to have the basic decency to follow some common etiquette. However, I have heard complaints from the staff listing over half of you. Those on the list will either offer an apology to the offended staff member or members, or I will send you directly to the front lines. No detours and no appeals. In addition, I have sent for some etiquette trainers to help teach you all some manners, if you need it or not. These lessons are mandatory.
Next, I would like to address the issue of fighting in the halls. This is both destructive and disruptive. The next time it comes up fines will be levied and punishments enforced. The least of which would amount to lashes. We have training arenas and professionals to help for a reason. Use them.
Finally, word has reached me that some of you are trying to skip out on your debts.”
Randolph makes a gesture and two guards lead five individuals naked and bound in chains.
“ Three of these five individuals tried to break out last night. Hoping to use their newly acquired skills to escape as a level one individual. The fourth individual is Zack, who tried to force himself onto one of the staff and the final person is someone very special. The killer of three of your own. These five have graciously volunteered to show you what it means to become a slave.”
