Chapter 43: Redact and Whitewash (2/2)

Jack Sullivan had paid a hefty donation to the city of Osan’s administration to reserve a spot from the limited seats in the academy for his son

The city of Osan could send up to five kids every year under the reserved quota Everyone other than the reserved seat kids would have to pass an entrance exam Which was as difficult as it was unpredictable

Therefore the reserved seats would always be preferred by the well-to-do people anted to send their kids to receive the best education the kingdom had to offer

Even aunt Nina was no different She had enrolled Eren into the reserved seat quota It was just that she didn’t have to pay Her influence on the city’s adh to avail a reserved seat

Therefore, Eren and Jake didn’t need to give any exa the academy They will be fellow students in the next few days

Eren was a shut-in in his previous life He didn’t interact with people apart from a select few of them in the academy So he didn’t know about Jack or the fact that he came from the same city as him But that didn’t matter to his current plans

Jake immediately extended his hand of friendshi+p to Eren and the latter accepted as quickly for reasons known to hi to use his new and only connection so far to get out of his current predicament

Eren stepped downstairs Had his breakfast And told aunt Nina that he would bewith Jack and discuss acadeht stay over as his place

Nina wanted to ask some more but Eren had already run out of the house by then She never knew a recluse like Eren would find a friend in Jack this easily

Nina was glad that Eren was finally ress So she let the o

Eren headed to a now-fa to disappear into the dark When he appeared froed

Eren had bought Hunters’ clothes for hi It was to blend in with the Hunters’ populace

Eren had also got twoone of them that only left his eyes and forehead unmasked

An unknown lady in her late 30s could be seen with hi with her odd, deformed smile She had also worn the Hunters’ clothes

“Reen, stop sht scare the rental agency guy”

Eren scoffed at Reen who then followed his orders and stopped her facial exercise She asked her ates:

“Eren What should I say to that rental agency ‘food’?”

Reen spoke in the lady’s voice she had eaten before It was just some randoer that is

Reen’s oratory skills and her bipedal walk had taken huge leaps forward She alht oddity in the way she controlled her voice but that wasn’t a deal-breaker

Reen’s walk and her run were the ones she had io faster than Eren now if she wanted to

“Just rent two nice colts for both of us Use the iven you and the ID stone of the lady you have shapeshi+fted into

Of course, the ID stone and your nature won’t match Just tell hie it after this trip Give hi it”

“Alright I… I can’t eat it afterwards, right?”

“Call him ‘him’ and not ‘it’ when you talk, will you? No, you can’t eat him You’ll have plenty of mana beasts to feed on in the woods”

Eren and Reen talked like usual and reached the rental agency’s office

===============================

Author’s Note: So why I introduced a few concepts of cultivation in thesystem Will it be still a non-cultivation novel if we find these concepts getting included in the ranking-based story-verse?

I can only tell you why I chose to go this way instead of keeping things straightforward I think the progression from Rank F to Rank E would have been easier to show if VEH was a system novel

The system serves as the reason behind any MC’s power level Therefore, it doesn’t need anything else System novels rule the All’s domain for this very reason I also like soression with zero boring details and alht) What’s not to like in a system-based piece?

But for better or worse, VEH is not a syste this question in the comments section in earlier chapters I will answer that query now VEH is not a systeive o the easy route and say there’s an E Rank right after the character levels up from the F Rank and it would be assuression But that’s just it We have to “assu There’s no substantial explanation that can be found in a rank up after we do that

I don’t want VEH to go that way, establishi+ng the power structures on assumptions I want it to have a standardized power structure that has set rules It would help in keeping the storyline clean with minimal plot holes It would also serve as a valid reason behind MC’s upco actions

And most of all, VEH will be easily understood by even the newest of readers on the All even if they haven’t read system based or cultivation based works before

VEH will still keep the si for valid reasoning behind a character’s rank up It will htforwardness of the RPG systeical concepts behind cultivation Of course, VEH will never have Dao, Laws, and all those elusive concepts in its storyline

Lastly, sorry for attaching this extended author’s note I’ll take ! ?
