He soon started apologizing to me profusely.

Yet my mind was confused.

What?

He was currently bowing his head toward me.

Clearly showing remorse.

"It's fine,"

I accepted his apology but in my mind, I was still in turmoil.

"No-no, I forgot to hold back, I'm sorry,"

"I told you, it's fine,"

"Look, I'll make it up to you,"

My bracelet then vibrated,

I opened it and a message appeared before me.

[Wyatt Greywolf is trying to send you 200k bells]

200K BELLS!?

I then look back at Wyatt.

"Look this is too much money, I was simply weak, I can't take this,"

"No-no I insist,"

With his silver eyes showing that he won't take no for an answer.

I let out a sigh and took the money.

"Thank you, I guess,"

"I apologize again, but I got to go, take care!"

After saying sorry once again, he left the clinic.

What the actual hell just happened?

I then tried to remember our fight.

If I was not wrong there was a split second where his silver eyes went dull.

Is there something more to Wyatt that I do not know?

Or was this merely an act?

Damn it, why are you making this more hard Wyatt.

I need information but right now what is more important is experience.

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

This was the first time in this world that I got a taste of failure.

And it was bitter.

I need to grow stronger.

"That is all for today class, see you all next week,"

The week passed by in a flash and currently now it is Friday.

"Yo Troi, want to join us in the arcade this Saturday?"

I then look at the person who approached me,

It was Kyle with Mark beside him.

After what happened they have been acting friendly with me these couple of days.

I respectfully declined.

"Sorry man, I got something to do this weekend,"

"Well, that's fine, looks like it's just the two of us, Mark,"

"Did Wyatt not want to come?"

I asked with curiosity.

"Nah, he said he got something IMPORTANT to do, but we both know that he's just going to train,"

"Yeah, the guy is a complete training freak,"

I nod at them, but my curiosity is still left unsatiated.

"Well, see you next week, Troi,"

"Yeah, see you too,"

After Mark bid me goodbye, I too made my way out of the class.

I'll worry about Wyatt later, right now, I have some cleaning to do.

I got inside my dorm and waited for the night to come.

From the novel, once Reynold became a third-year he would soon start to hunt for Illegal slave traders.

Yeah, even in an advanced society why are there still slave traders?

Can't the king just order his elite knights to dispose of them?

Anyways, they're all backed up by an underground society.

I think their name was.

[Dogs of Diablo]

Reynold in the future would completely destroy them though.

He started by targeting the many slave markets they had scattered around the city.

Then slowly killed their generals one by one.

For me though, I would choose one of the many slave markets they had.

And that is where I would gain experience.

I waited patiently for the weekend to come, as it was the only time that we were allowed to leave the academy.

I checked my bracelet as I lay on my bed.

It was currently 9:04 PM.

I got up and made my way out of the academy.

The streets were bustling with life,

There were people drinking, street performers singing and cars speeding through the skyway above.

But I know beneath this facade, lies pitiful souls chained in metal, unable to scream, unable to live.

I looked for a nearby atm and converted some of my bells to cash.

To the place where I'm going, they only take solid paper.

After withdrawing 20k worth of bells, I put them all inside my bracelet and started walking.

From the novel, I looked for the signs described.

[Through the city, Oliver and Reynold started looking, they were tasked by their instructors to save the slaves trapped beneath the city through a market only those with connections could enter.

"Are you sure this is here?" Oliver with jagged breathing asked his fellow classmate.

It was clear that he was exhausted, they have been running around the city for a couple of hours now, trying to find an entrance to the place buried in sins.

"I know it is here somewhere, have you looked at the map again?" Reynold was irritated, he thought of the time that they were wasting, he can't stand the image of the slaves that were suffering in his mind any longer.

"Look Rey, it said here that it's beside a restaurant, but we went through so many of them already! Not a single one of them had an alleyway,"

"Wait, maybe it's not in the slums, should we perhaps try the noble estates?"

"Are you serious!?, Why would the black market be there?"

"Just trust me, I have a feeling,"

Unable to stop his friend, Oliver was forced to follow, through the part of the city that was littered in gold.]

After remembering the novel, I started to move my legs.

The first slave market they destroyed was near the academy located in the noble estates.

There is also another one in the district of Birdline which would be found later in the novel.

But there's a crazy motherf*cker there that I do not have the strength right now to take care of.

The one in the noble estate however has no leaders, only munchkins.

Since I'm not a noble, they won't let me pass easily.

But that is only the case if they see me.

My legs soon stopped uttering a sound.
