Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Chapter 24: class B risk

Once thursday dawned on the academy, Yunan and Leol left their room and headed for the administrative building to send the letter to Leol's grand father, then they turned to the field for their daily workout, today unlike the before, Leol put on some effort in keeping up with Yunan, thus the training was a bit more intensive than usual, although they retained the same routine they added a full lap around the field making the total 5, and 40 sets instead of 30 for the basics, and they sang the divergent series up to 60, with more success and less mistakes. after they cleaned up, they went for breakfast and then separated for their classes.

Today in strategy, the game was still level up chess but it was in the format of king of the hill, although Yunan lost countless times he learned a lot about how politics worked, it is worth mention that the tournament worked in a very odd manner, for example Dustan won his battles with Fae by bribing her with upsy-daisy and some other promises, Balin bought a few wins from Lucian by forging promises, lLeader just ordered who ever was her opponent to lose when she did not feel like playing, Bai would scheme to sow discord between the players, Fae mainly enjoyed being showered by gifts and promises, although she would blatantly reject Leader and play with her now and then, there were bets, prizes, punishments for defeat, it was more like a real game of thrones, heck there was even marriages and alliances where for example balin and Dustan both go against Bai only to lose miserably. how alliances worked was against a leveled up player, two armies can be joined against a level 2 as in 32 vs 16 Pieces, up to four armies against a level 3, as for a level 4 they would just forfeit to restart the battle.

There were backstabs, betrayals, assassinations, adultery, blackmail, whatever power play you can think of was employed, everything was allowed, there were few rules, unless you were part of a game, you can not use the information traded in the game against those who played it, unless they told you themselves or you had a spy inside their army, information sharing can only be done during a game, for example when Dustan and Balin made an alliance against Bai they were playing against each other.

Although the game sounds odd, with how eccentric Debauchery is you can expect some hilarity to ensue, and Yunan soon knew how to secure a win, put a spy within the armies of Fae and Bai, why you ask? because Bai had spies on all the players, and Fae was a reliable source for blackmail information, she married Leader, and engaged in adultery with all she deemed a threat to her, thus making them share some vital information, the other plan he came up with is to be neutral, and wait for the others to just self destruct, by sharing all kinds of information he got through spies, and in the end that actually happened when he decided to tell Leader who was level 3 about the betrayals of Fae, and then dropping the game, next turn Leader issued a full scale war on everyone but Yunan, thus it ended with mutual destruction and Yunan won by default as he was the only one with an army, still intact.

The lesson was both about politics and planning as well as strategy, all in all teaching Yunan to think outside of the norme, thus secure a win in the only way he could, by not doing anything.

In the afternoon, Leol had received an answer from his grandfather that he would send the information directly to the big noble, and that he should lay low and keep this information to himself. one could say Leol is very similar to his grandpa in their views on how to face politics.

The afternoon class was archery but instead of aiming at the targets Yunan had to aim at disks thrown between bai and lucian, since neither Balin nor Dustan could control their strength perfectly. Bai and Lucian had to control the speed according to the requirements of Leader, the lesson started by throwing balls at the disks, when Yunan got better at aiming he started using the bow, although he missed every shot he made, Yunan was shooting arrows closer and closer to the disks.

After two hours of shooting, Yunan was told to shoot at the targets in the archery field, and soon the betting began, about stakes only god knows how Debauchery cared about such stakes, Yunan won a few such bets when he hit when everyone bet on a miss or missed when everyone bet on a hit, he soon started thinking about manipulating his shot to win a bit more but as soon as he thought about it he got smacked on the back of the head by Leader "don't even think about it, betting is about being fair in Debauchery, if you cheat, you will take on all the losses from the start of the betting session" that hit Yunan too hard, how could he possibly forge equipement while giving lap dances and braiding beards, after all the Debauchery policy is to account for all bets before the end of the day.

After class yunan and Leol went back to the room together, feeling grateful that not as many students came after them today, and only a handful came to knock on their door, even dinner went very uneventful, so the too passed their time peacefully in their room reading.

Bai separated from Debauchery party and headed to the guild and made an official announcement, since the party is doing a mission by the guild, they will not tolerate any interruption to the mission and any who will try anything to disrupt their current mission of teaching, including harming their student, Debauchery party is ready to remind the whole world what it means to be an elite adventurer.

This announcement got the guild into a flurry, they had been keeping adventurers under strict control to stop them from wiping out whole kingdoms because some smug king thought he actually had power. Although all outside contact with adventurers is usually goes through the guild, even those in the underground world who could secure contact with adventurers were from the guild, thus the guild could still keep small incidents under control, but the case of Debauchery party had haunted them for a time.

Ever since the party fully formed in the last 5 years they had been venturing outside now and then to have fun, and although there was too much attention paid to them, the guild officials were relieved by how nonchalant Debauchery acted towards even the most unscrupulous of noble no matter how they offended them, but now things have changed, they are going to retaliate, and the announcement is their way of telling the guild to either control the nobles or let them suffer, neither options were acceptable for the guild, so the guild just notified those who have offended Debauchery before and disseminated the news that Debauchery is changing their modus operandi, and will be a class B risk, in case there were some who thought about doing anything. According to the guild classification B is a disaster capable of destroying multiple kingdoms.
