Master Of None Chapter 114
Advertisement
Everyone seemed to wake up refreshed and full of energy. Hilda had been kind enough to set up enough sandwiches for everyone to have as they walked for breakfast. Elise had decided to let Stella remain at the mansion so that she could fly around the training field and be free. Laurence Had chosen to leave Hyde in the beast ring for safety since it was possible for him to start a fire by accident. He would hate to be the reason his new friends lost their beautiful home.
"Alright now that we're all together let's head out. I figured we could head the long way so you three can view the city more." As Walker had dressed and eaten a sandwich he thought of the route to take to the guild. He knew he wanted to walk them by the auction house this time to see the academy which was nearby. That would make them pass by the holy cathedral which was definitely a sight to see. The stained glass windows were as old as the castle. Not to mention the tall marble arches and pillars. The cathedral was especially known for its music, those that joined their choir had the ability and skills to of healing music. This was a rare skill that often wasn't useful in battle but surprisingly helpful for the elderly and those recovering from illness. Thus hearing their songs was something many would travel for. It just so happened that the entire quire which normally split off and went to the smaller churches in the outer area to perform would gather once a month for a large performance. Today they were together and performing which would be a very great experience to show off to the tamers. After that, it was an easy trip to the guild and forge. They weren't going to head in to the forge just pass by but it reminded Walker to gather as many crystal shards as possible. After the guild, he wanted to test out some more elemental manipulation and also challenge Laurence to a sparing match. Walker desperately wanted to see his other tamed beasts.

They were chatting and pointing out many of the larger buildings and such as they walked. The knowledge was still fairly new to walker and the party since they hadn't lived in the upper tier long, luckily Garret picked up a lot of information as a guard.
"One thing I don't really get is why are there so many people running?" Elise had noticed small groups of young people running in the area. This was strange by the basic fact that due to the systems people had body training wasn't necessarily a norm.
"Ah well for some systems like guards they have quests that require body training. I wouldn't have learned it if my father hadn't told me about his system quests. It's rare for it to be the case but at the academy, the ones that do have such quests tend to group up together." When he was young his sister and he would often wonder why Garret would leave early in the morning eventually they had learned the details.
" it always amazes me the many things the world asks of us through our systems," Laurence said this almost every day. It was easily his catchphrase, but due to how true it was no one ever made fun of him for it.
The group had started to see the towering holy cathedral in front of them. The outer courtyard was a gathering place for many in the mornings to chat and have tea. Only the best of the best chefs would bring their pastries to sell to the many tables in the hopes of fame. The elderly were often there first as well so they could get inside to say their prayers or visit healers.
The holy churches often recruited every healer they had the chance to. This was simply because their teachings were for the benefit of others. That being said their mission had brought them significant power over human faith. This was good because they were able to heal and aid the sick and weak. Yet on the opposite, it gave way to many who desired to feed off of the church as well. Some nobles had become victims and villains in this respect. There were a small number of nobles who had long been members and made hefty donations to the church, therefore, they exerted their power to cause weak minded members of the church to act as they see fit. Those nobles that were not as powerful could often become victims to the prior group. This would come in the form of denial of healing, exemption from prayers, and even their children being denied a blessing which was a very big part of nobleman tradition.

The group seemed to walk upon such an example of villainy this very morning.
"You trash, why would we let you in here when you can't even donate a hundred gold for our services. Do you think your ears are even good enough to hear my voice let alone their healing notes? Pathetic!" Walker saw a familiar face along with two familiar attendants. This was the man from the auction house. He was currently pushing out a man with visible injuries from the front door.
The man in bandages had his arm in a sling and most likely was there to be healed. Everyone knew there was no price for healing but it was customary to donate so the church could buy food and such. But by no means was it required.
Walker used his skill wanting to know who the despicable man from the church was, this is the second time they'd seen his ugly side.
' Ross Merrill
Level: 22
Light channeler system
Sent to the church as the youngest son of the Merrill family. The hate for his own family and the church cause his mind to warp. His favorite pastimes are charging lower tier citizens for healing and toying with the nuns who he outranks.'
"Ugh" Walker let out a disgusted grunt. This man may not have had the best of life being forced to the church by his family but it was no excuse to treat those around him poorly. Not only did he prey on the weak but he "toyed with the nuns"? Walker couldn't imagine the terrible things he may have done.
Before Walker could even shout he saw the man that Ross had pushed begin to fall. They were standing on the top of the steps to the cathedral and the man in bandages wouldn't be able to catch himself.

And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt. It was night, but there was a full moon. And a little girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me.
