Just like the previous time, Fen didn't need any guide to find his way through the streets of the city. While his time in Akhaz wasn't the longest one, the young mercenary still lived in the city for more than enough to know the general layout of the streets. What Fen didn't expect though, was how Mark would move his headquarters to the formerly ruined area of the city, openly opting to rebuild what was lost instead of settling on what remained! The construction of the wall in this area had yet to start.…-

"So everything was connected like that…" Thinking back to the events that transpired right before and during Fen's escape from the empire, it was no surprise that his shenanigans pushed some people to extremes. From how a royal was present on the arena during the fights, through how inquisition had to be irked by the appearance of a phoenixian right behind their backs, one thing added to another and resulted in something that Fen didn't expect even in his wildest dreams. The sheer fact that they were…

"You really did us good, sir." Walking through the deserted half of the city, Fen could only shake his head in awe at the scale of devastation that remained after the invasion of the monsters. It seemed as if every other person laid their lives out of the city population, turning the once prosperous western half of Akhaz into a barrier of burned-down ruins. "Once again, let's drop the topic. Everyone's alive, so what's the point of keeping a grudge over a few bruises? Are we men or some children, crying…

This was the very first time for Fen to fly on his wings in the direction of what used to be the Gizadian Empire. Even in Kinar, doing something like he was performing right now bore a lot of risk with some adventurers acting stupid and taking him for some kind of monster. Thankfully, the main successor of the old mercenary kingdom had way more mercenaries than it had that stupid rich-people looking for the thrills, making the risk of being attacked in the skies somewhat manageable. Sadly, that wasn't the…

"All the gods in the heaven… To think that was your true background…" Fen's eyes twitched when he heard Victor reacting like that to his reveal. The stinging feeling of lying to his friends made it hard for the young arcanist to keep his face straight. 'But I didn't really lie all that much… After all, isn't that guy also a descendant of the Phoenix as well?' Justifying the situation to himself just to keep his composure going for a little longer, Fen moved his eyes towards Orsha's face. But…

"Excuse me, is there any chance… Oh, there you are!' Slamming the doors of the Inn open, Cleo burst into the location without paying any mind to the peace of the other customers. But one couldn't deny how effective this kind of tactic would be in any other scenario. Gathering all the attention on herself and instantly using it to ask a question would work in any other scenario. But what she couldn't expect, was the fact that nearly the entire middle part of the Inn was empty, with Fen and his two…

"Okay guys, let's sum up everything that we know so far." Instead of relying on their imagination alone, Fen pulled out his personal knife - the only weapon he was allowed to carry within the walls of the city without holding an official position. In fact, though, this knife was nothing more than a tool he would use either while eating or in random situations like the one at hand. "Let's start from the bottom and work our way up." Relying on his memory alone, Fen used his knife to carve the general idea…

"Argh! Come on, why did you have to do it like that? Now half of the group hates me while the other is willing to suck your dick, be it a man or woman, just to make you add them to my party…" While Cleo was throwing a fit, Fen didn't really know what else was he supposed to do to hide his laughter. The face of the girl's father that looked as if he was about to suffocate from the exact same reason only made Fen's task of keeping his face straight even harder. "Trust me, there are reasons behind…

"Let's start with the homework I left you off with the last time. Who is ready to tell me whats the estimated ratio for arcanists and physical soldiers in the standard deployment?" This time, the lesson was taking place outside. While there was a cost associated with renting the room for private affairs like Fen's lesson, this wasn't the reason why he opted to gather his students on a field outside of the city. The fact that he splurged most of his funds for the rewards for his students didn't change this…

"Is that really what you decided?" Contrary to the other students who would leave Fen alone after the lessons, the same couldn't be said about Cleo. Sticking right to his side ever since the entirety of her class moved to their other daily tasks, she was so clingy that even Nadia threw her a few as surprised as curious glances. "Yeah. Investing in the existing elites would not only be extremely costly but it would also openly upset the balance of forces within the city. And I don't want to appear as a…
