12 School 3 (1/2)

While talking they had reached the canteen and now stood in line to get their meal.

”I'm not really sure why that is, but i heard that permanent pills have to change a indicator forever, while temporary change it only for some time and healing pills are just supposed to increase the regeneration rate by a lot, so the effect seems instantaneous, but isn't in reality.”

At this point Serge opened his mouth to confirm what Greg said. ”According to one of the books I have read, which is about pill refinement, this is really the case, but there is more to it. There aren't really crafted permanent pills, since they only have a long duration. For example there are pills which are called permanent, which give a small stat increase, but they only work until a person dies.

It doesn't really make much difference, but strictly speaking a permanent pill would still be in effect even after a person dies, so these pills effect has an end and as such aren't really permanent.”

”So there aren't any real permanent pills?”

”There are, just not any that are crafted. But some bosses may drop them and I heard that they are sold for horrendous prices since if you are rich you can get a temple to resurrect you and as such these people need real permanent pills.”

”You can be resurrected?”

”Yeah, but since it is a privilege of the temples I don't know much about it.”

”That's great. But I guess that even if it was there is no way, we could pay for it.”

”Well as far as I know during the training sessions organized by the school there is a safety policy with a temple close by so the students will be resurrected, but they will have a dept which is quite sizable.”

”Still its good to know that there is such a form of safety.”

”I recon they had to do it or they couldn't organize these sessions.”

”Sarge, how come you know so much about it?”, Ivan asked curiously. It was quite surprising for him to hear Sarge talking so much, but it seemed that he liked spreading his knowledge.

”My parents operate a book store so whenever I had nothing to do I would go there and read. After a while I naturally came to collect this knowledge.”

”Then do you know anything about hard reset?”

”You mean that hat happened to you? Sorry, although I have seen it being mentioned before I don't really know anything about it.”

At this moment an old voice cut in, ”It happens if you go against the System or if you get caught up in a cleanup.”
