Apparently they had used Christian as a way of finding out what some of the flaws are within the school.

It was never announced when we received a new principal but Dean accepted it.

They were implementing new systems to keep students safe and were trying to think of a more economically logical idea.

Some people within the school were apparently giving away information about the Spells and incidents of the school to the outside making everything messy.

People were soon expelled for cover up crimes such as murder, thievery, **** in order to not make any of the students suspicious.

To make sure no one would betray the school, they hope to add a test for trust but it would be difficult as they were teenagers who could change given enough of an exchange.

Dean felt a little glad that the school was improving despite their only relation being that he enrolled in the very school.

It was odd when he thought of it that way but he shrugged it off.

Alexander soon came back from a meeting to greet Dean and Ellis about their next mission.

”We're to head to the north to escort a merchant's group and to slay an animal when we head back.”

He briefed that the animal wasn't too tough and was only needed not fro the fact that it was strong but due to the school running out of resources from that specific Beast.

The claws and teeth were apparently the most popular parts of this Beast since it was able to create a new method of Healing Potion released from their Alchemists at the school.

Such news was interesting as it meant that the resources would slowly hitch up in price and that they might even get a bonus if they get enough of those materials.

Ellis and Alexander were both interested for such a pay increase while Dean didn't get payed making him not care about such prizes.

They had to travel to a tavern somewhere above the center of the continent to meet their clients that would be under danger.

Dean and Ellis stood at the back as they weren't good with courtesy while Alexander was much better at holding his ground and being calm.

But their worry was for naught as the client wa surprisingly a kind old man who was willing to take them on board without a hassle however they were told they must never know what they are transporting.

It seemed they held privacy as one of the highest priority which was why they all agreed to keep quiet and separate their groups.

The client had hired mercenary groups along with their group which proved that their was a variety of people and that the item must be important.

They encountered many bandits due to the fact that they had a long line of merchandise that they had been eyeing.

Of course they were soon beaten under the greedy eyes of all the mercenaries who wanted to get on the client's good side.
