Back in the Mar sara academy Yunan and the rest of Debauchery juniors were soaking in the baths after a grueling battle drill, fully unaware about how now he was a stigma on the minds of the top advisors in the guild, luckily the guild master only told them that Debauchery found the Black Fate and did not specify who or else he would have been drowned in gifts and apologizing old men.Lili was the one who felt the training today the most, even with 20 times amplification of the spirit heart she was still fighting heavy eyelids as she floated in the pool in a half-dead state. "Is it always like this? This is torture!". "You get used to it" interjected Reina who was holding the newly born dragon.
"I never think i would be able used to this kind of torture" said Lili in reminiscence about her old life as a care free student who only had to read books and solve questions only once a week. Leol told her with pity in his voice "Today was just an upscale of an ordinary boring afternoon, the real torture is the unarmed combat lesson, my body was disa.s.sembled in ways i never thought possible"
"That was ordinary? That is by far the most unordinary afternoon i ever had!" Lili was feeling her sanity under attack at the moment. "Well that is obvious, wait until you see Balin work on dislocating joints and then you will understand that normality is just glorified boring" Yunan was easing the horrors of the future in her young brain.
"I miss boring" said Leol before the door to the bathroom flew open and Fae burst inside "what are you kids doing in the baths this long, get ready we have dinner with the old goats and you are called" A collective sigh escaped the juniors and Lili who almost screamed at Fae but from the looks of her fellows this was not something unusual.
"Say goodbye to the boring life and accept in your mind that nothing is strange when Debauchery is included. It will save you a few shocks and surprises". Advised Reina as she got out of of the bath and let Fae dress her up, the look Reina had was that of acceptance the futility of struggle.
The juniors were teleported along with Fae and Lucian to some kind of secluded villa, when they arrived, Fae just barged inside followed by Lucian with an apologetic look, moments later Dustan came out and herded the juniors inside, in a big room there was a table full of food and two older men sitting at the head of the table, on their right sat Debauchery while the seats to the left were empty, Dustan pushed the juniors to the left side seats and pulled of a leg from a goat like creature and bit into it as he took his seat.
"That is not enough" were the first words spoken after the juniors arrived "not nearly enough" mumbled Reina as she sat down between Yunan and Leol while Lili had tears in her eyes and dove into the embrace of the kindly old pope "Dad!" she cried with tears of both happiness and dejection.
A few minutes later the feast took off Debauchery style, food was flying everywhere, drinks were shared, and cheers were sung, well there were 3 shocked faces who barely ate anything as they watched the horror show of unmannered buffoons eating and singing in merriment. After they got roped in the show by the buffoons they relaxed a bit and enjoyed letting go for once.
After dinner was over every a.s.sembled in a study room, the kindly old pope and the overstressed guild master invited everyone to sit down. The pope started talking first " as you probably know i am old goat the pope of the church of light, and this here is Martin the guild master, and we are here to see the Black Fate, so if you kindly show it to us" Yunan nodded and talked to his finger "Black Fate can you join our conversation". A screen showed up with a "YES" in bold print.
Yunan have been feeding his mana to the ring ever since he got it and it no longer needed to syphon his mana before each time it tried to communicate. Both the pope and Martin could not see the ring and only the screen which prompted some doubt, so Yunan hurried to amend the situation. "Black Fate please show yourself and your information.
The familiar black simple band appeared on Yunans finger with a small screen that stated the information about the ring that it showed to everyone last time. That drew the attention of the old men, Martin asked "please answer me this Black Fate, in which floor does the heart of tartarus exists?", a screen popped up "in the control room, it does not exist in any floor".
"Alright that confirms it" said Martin "the guild would like to acquire the Black Fate, so please state your conditions, we are ready to pay any price in our power". Yunan thought to himself for a moment and then said " I don"t think it works that way mister, i can tell you honestly that even killing me is not going to help with you getting this ring, it chooses its owner and it would have already left me if it wanted to be follow you, so you have to ask Black Fate for that" simultaneously a big "NO" popped up from the ring.
Martin had an ugly look on his face but before he could say anything Yunan cut him off " i never believed in fate or luck until i met Debauchery" with all the seriousness he could muster at his age "if there is something you need Black Fate for, you can come by ask it any questions you like anytime, if you want secrecy i can even leave you alone" Yunan ordered the ring mentally to fly to the hands of Martin "but i have to tell you, this ring waited in a box for a 100 years to find me, i do not think anyone can stop it from returning to me no matter how they try" the ring flew back from the clenched fist of Martin as if it was ethereal.
