Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army 25 Visitor

All the unrest that was brewing in the guild and in the middle of the aristocratic society had basically no effect on the academy, maybe except, quelling the ongoing investigation around Debauchery, as any who had a relations.h.i.+p with a n.o.ble were directly warned not to step in the sight of Debauchery, their declaration was a blatant disregard for the guild, and was a warning to all, leave us alone or die, thus anyone in their right mind would rather stay away from a hornet's nest.

One thing that stood out most about the declaration was not the B cla.s.s disaster potential, but the clever wording of the announcement, they used the guild to justify their behaviour, putting to use the fact that they are now considered on an ongoing mission, a worthless one that all the adventurers take, but an official mission nonetheless, and their use of it to threaten those who had ideas about them, or their student, shows that in the past, Debauchery being pa.s.sive and inactive in response to all that provocation was merely them not caring enough to act, but now, they are either fed up or started to care, and neither is good news for all those who offended them in the past.

On the morning of friday, Yunan was learning the concept of force and the fact that one can predict something based on a fixed law, they started with archery so as to teach Yunan the effects of changing variables in any situation, such as aiming higher than the target to hit it because of gravity, or how to lower the draw of the bowstring and raise the shooting angle to achieve the same result, factor in the concepts of momentum and friction, and you get a basic comprehensive lecture in physics that can be easily understood and performed. Yunan was ecstatic about the new knowledge, having more knowledge meant more options for him to act and more options meant better strategies and also better result from training.

One can say that the brain can be trained to calculate the result of actions without prior knowledge in physics, yet it was found out that once those parameters that affect actions are known, the brain can become more efficient through basic understanding and starts to perform better and apply adjustments faster and create solutions to problems that were once unsolvable.

All in all, with his new understanding of force and momentum, Yunan did a test run of the battle techniques he learned so far, he became better at blocking and dodging thanks to understanding momentum, block or dodge where the strike will hit, not where it is, he could also hit a flying disk when throwing a ball at it, although he missed around 8 in 10 shots, it was a big improvement from missing all ten shots, also his aim at still targets became better and gave more steady results in archery, this progress made Yunan very happy.

Once Yunan started discussing his lesson with Leol during lunch time, he barely stopped talking, although Leol was not very influenced or deeply enlightened, he thought he would not need this knowledge, he was training to be a magician and had no need for it, since he would have party members who will protect him at all times. on the other hand Yunan thought that one needed to be able to handle all kinds of situation to be safe in the dungeon. the boys had a disturbance free lunch, a thing that they missed recently.

In the afternoon cla.s.s Yunan got himself beaten to a pulp in the unarmed combat lesson, basically he would spend around ten minutes sparring with one of his teachers then rest for five, fighting against different styles of combat. Bai fought fast and dirty, he hit pain pressure points making it hard for Yunan to fight back, or even stand straight, Dustan had a meaty fist that hit harder than a hammer, although he was slower than Bai, it took one hit from Dustan to send Yunan flying like a kite. Lucian weant for blind spots and fake outs, he would create more than enough blind spots by diversion. Balin was a grappler, and an expert in choke holds and joint locks, taking advantage of his size to squeeze where others could not and just disable his target, literally. Fae was more gentle, she only went for instant knockout hits, on punch and it's lights out, no pain and no suffering, except for the splitting headache after waking up. Leader was a mixed of all of them.

The training was going perfectly fine, until a messenger came to deliver a letter of invitation. the messenger almost ran away after delivering the letter, he probably lost a roll of dice to deliver it. after the messenger left, Leader read the letter out loud "due to a missive from headquarters, i, the director of the academy issue a formal invite to a spokesperson from the Debauchery party to join myself and the holy emperor of the eastern sun islands in a meeting to discuss a quest his highness would like to issue your esteemed party. The quest his highness is offering does not in anyway clash or hinder your current mission, please be advised that the meeting is scheduled tomorrow sat.u.r.day afternoon, please inform us in case of a rejection or time issues before the meeting. sincerely, director of Mar sara academy, Joey Ray"

As soon as Leader finished reading the letter, Yunan made a fist pump screaming "it worked" while being in a joint lock by Balin, the unexpected shout caught Balin by surprise and he tried to back away, positioning his nose in the path of the ascending fist and was. .h.i.t hard enough he staggered back a few steps. the first to arrive by his side was Bai, gripping Yunan by the neck and lifting him up "what worked?", while Yunan was struggling to get out of the grip, he was surrounded by Debauchery, some had inquisitive looks others had a ruthless icy look to them. Leader touched Bai on the shoulder prompting him to put Yunan down, she then leaned forward, came face to face with the boy and asked with a warmer tone than Bai "what worked?". Yunan just glared at Bai "we made them ask nicely, our plan worked". "we?" asked Balin. "oh, i forgot to tell you guys" responded Yunan enthusiastically, "me and Leol, we sent a letter to whoever was asking around about you guys, we told them that there was no way to get your attention with such tactics, and they needed to come properly and show respect, we also told them not to get offended by the way you guys behave, and also made sure to tell them they will be ignored if they try bribes and threats and so on" he looked around at the unbelieving faces surrounding him and chirped with a happy voice "it worked, my plan actually worked, see Bai, i do have good plans too"

Soon the silence turned into roarous laughter, as the party rolled all over the floor laughing in the most vulgar of ways, that scene was etched in Yunan's mind as a 'never act like this no matter how funny it is', it took a while for Debauchery to calm down, they wiped away the tears, saliva and snot, that leaked out in the laughter fit, some had hiccups while others could barely hold back from smiling, afraid to start another fit, if they laughed again. all this while Yunan looked very upset, he knew he was the b.u.t.t of a joke he did not even notice, and that was very annoying to him.

Leader took pity on him and decided to tell him what happened so she started by asking "when did you send your letter?", although upset and frowning Yunan answered "yesterday morning around dawn, why do you ask?". "well you see, yesterday afternoon we also sent a letter, more like an announcement, we told everyone that we do not want to be disturbed, if any one dares they die, i guess your letter and ours reached the guy who was asking around at the same time, so they followed your rules and asked nicely, i guess it is fate that you became our student, things like that cannot be planned even by G.o.d, but here it is". Fae walked closer to Yunan and kissed him on the cheek "thank you for thinking about us, just don't forget our share of the reward okey?" Yunan told her that the reward was already split, and there is no returning it, and got pinched by Fae, struck in the back of the head by Bai and souplexed by Balin.
