205 Lady Business No. 3

Aurgus 29, 3023 A.M., day of Tuar, 10:04 a.m.

At the Inquisitory Division's headquarters.

Vivian was inside her room at the dormitory.

The single window of her room was covered with two White Cloaks that she bought last time in order to not let any light slip in or out. Meanwhile, the edges of her door were also covered with a blanket and a towel.

Vivian sat on her bed dressed in full gear and and looked completely stressed out.

Psssh!

A green mist exploded on Vivian's body and she felt weak.

I killed everyone there, right…?

I didn't miss anyone, right…?

I'm sure I didn't miss anyone…

I made very sure of it…

No one can definitely trace it back to me…

Last night, after killing Sack and the Priest, she then proceeded to kill and eat everyone else at the Northwest Exit Outpost before quickly returning back here.

And at the moment, she was trying to level up her Magic Art, particularly her [Poison Mastery] in order to prepare for the worst despite the physical ailment that she was currently facing.

I need to learn [Poison Bomb] as soon as possible…

In case I'm attacked by a group, I can easily neutralize them…

Vivian tried to cast another [Poison Strike] but no green water-like aura appeared on her hand.

I ran out of mana…

[Greater Origin Enchant].

A dark red lightning appeared on her hand.

[Halo].

As soon as the golden ring started to manifest on her back, the dark red lightning crawled from her hand to her back and was absorbed by the halo, making it 4 times larger than a normal [Halo].

Vivian waited for her mana to recover.

At the moment, she had 3.5/498 mana points and she was recovering 

1.5 mana points per second.

And once her mana points have fully recovered, she will deactivate [Halo].

But aside from preparing in case Priests would come to her room and arrest her for murdering everyone at the Northwest Exit Outpost, she had another issue as well which was the source of her physical ailment.

Her lower abdomen and back were in pain and she felt like her insides were being scraped.

Her period has arrived and she was experiencing extreme period cramps just like last time.

Vivian thought about transforming into her demonic form in order to escape from the pain but decided not to. She wanted to be ready in the event that Priests would indeed come to her room and arrest her.

Shit…

Shit…!

"SHIT…!"

"Why did my period come today out of all days…?!"

"Like seriously, why do women have to suffer from periods…?!"

"This is so unfair and inconvenient…!"

***

2:21 p.m.

Vivian didn't attend the 1:30-2:30 p.m. class and was still inside her room waiting and training.

Psssh!

A green mist exploded on Vivian's body and she felt weak.

Am I allowed to be absent…?

I've already taken and passed the written exams…

The only exam left is the practical exam but I still have to wait until the next weekend…

And right now I'm on my period…

Surely they would give me an exception, right…?

Should I have submitted an excuse letter…?

I really miss having a phone so that I could just send a text or email to the teacher…

Whether the trainees attended the classes or not, the Inquisitory Division could care less about it. What the Division cared about, aside from a trainee passing the exams, was the trainee having their attendance checked in one of the classes to make sure that they didn't escape or go missing.

I don't have any choice…

Vivian got up from her bed and fixed her appearance for a bit before exiting her room.

"I'll fucking throw my bloody napkin on their face and feed it to them if they don't excuse me…!"

***

2:35 p.m.

Vivian entered the classroom for the 2:30-4:00 p.m. class.

The teacher was already in front of the class and was preparing to discuss a topic.

Vivian went straight to the teacher and saluted.

"Brother Inquisitor Freed."

Freed stopped what he was doing and turned to Vivian.

"What is it, Crusader?"

"Can I speak with you outside? I have a very private matter to discuss with you about and I'm too embarrassed to talk about it here, especially in front of men."

Freed's eyes blinked a couple of times behind his mask before realizing what Vivian was trying to say.

"Okay, let's go outside."

When stepped outside of the room, Vivian spoke first.

"Brother Inquisitor, I've already taken and passed the written exams and currently waiting to take the final practical exam. But right now, I'm suffering from period cramps. Is it possible for you to sign my attendance sheet for the next 3-4 days until I'm fit for duty?"

"Do you have your Identity Papers with you?"

"Yes." 

She took out her Identity Papers along with a pen and then gave them to Freed.

He signed her attendance for the next 3 days and then returned it to her.

"Thank you, Brother Inquisitor Freed."

"You're welcome. Rest well."

"Thank you."

Freed nodded.

"I'll be going back to the classroom now."

Vivian nodded.

"Okay."

When Freed finally turned away, Vivian also turned away and began walking.

Her eyes turned to slits behind her mask and she was eyeing her surroundings like a predator.

I've finally solved this…

The only problem left is to power up as much as possible before my arrest…

***

Vivian arrived back at her room at the dormitory and brought several pies, drinks, napkins, medicine and wipes with her.

She planned to stay in her room for the next 3 days and would only come out to go to the toilet and bathroom. The rest will be spent mostly on Magic Art training and a little bit of sleeping.

Okay…

Time to eat first…

After that, it's back to training…!

***

Aurgus 31, 3023 A.M., day of Thura, 1:34 p.m.

It's already the third day since Vivian shut herself inside her room and she was sitting on the floor on top of a black cloth.

Her period cramps lessened and she was currently training her Magic Art.

And as for the color of her blood, it was still relatively red. But anyone attentive enough would notice that there was a slight difference in the hue. Because of that, when it came to her blood-stained napkins, she dipped them in some sort of red sauce from the food she bought to mask the color.

She thought about burning her napkins or flushing them on the toilets but threw the idea away because she didn't want to start a fire drill or clog the toilets.

Note to self: On my next period, I'm definitely going to buy some sort of dye…

She activated a spell.

[Soul Strike].

A white water-like aura appeared on her hand and she touched her thigh.

Oooo…

She felt her [Soul Strike] absorbing her mana. But since she was the owner of the spell, it merely transferred back to her. However, the spell still cost her 20 mana points to activate. It also eats 1 mana point per second to maintain it.

And in order to get experience points, she had to activate it, touch herself, deactivate it, and then repeat the process.

Ding!

'Unlocked [Soul Mastery] - Level 6!'

Vivian deactivated [Soul Strike].

So [Soul Bomb] is still 30 mana points…

Just like [Poison Bomb]…

Ever since she locked herself inside her room, she managed to level up her [Poison] and [Soul Mastery].

For her [Poison Mastery], she leveled up the Main and Magic Art only once. Meanwhile, for her [Soul Mastery], she managed to level up both the Main and the Magic Art three times.

Even with my x5 boost and near-infinite mana, this is only what I managed to level up…

It's really getting slower…

The best way is to definitely overhunt…

She recalled the time she was accused of overhunting by the Guildmaster at Luxen City.

She also recalled when she was interviewed by an Inquisitor named Jail regarding the attack on the Sarcoise Colony.

But it also comes with so many problems…

Vivian's gaze shifted over to her stats.

Well…

At least I've finally reached the 1,000 Points Club…

And my stats are still more or less balanced…

Based on what Vivian knows, once a person's Magic Force reaches two grades greater than their Physical Force, a nerve inside their person's head would rupture and cause death.

However, Vivian had a problem.

Until now, despite taking classes at Basic Training and Training Course, she still wasn't sure if Physical Force was measured by Strength or by both Strength and Vitality. And as far as she knows, no one had a Status Panel and no one differentiates their stats by Strength, Vitality, Agility and Intelligence.

In this world, people differentiate stats by Physical and Magic Force…

They don't even know about the levels...

They only know that once a person unlocks a new Physical or Magic Art, they will learn a skill or spell…

And as they continue using the skill or spell of the said Physical or Magic Art, they would grow stronger and learn more skills and spells…

This was the extent of their knowledge…

But just to be sure, I won't let my Intelligence exceed more than 30 points of my Vitality…

I like to believe that Strength deals with physical attack, while Vitality deals with physical defense…

Vivian closed the Status Panel.

Time to learn [Cleanse]…!

Crack!

"Argh…!"

She broke one of her fingers.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

A dark red lightning appeared on her hand.

[Heal].

A faint but larger yellow light enveloped her body and healed her broken finger.

Crack!

"Argh…!"

She broke one of her fingers once again and beads of sweat started to appear on her forehead.

[Greater Origin Enchant].

A dark red lightning appeared on her hand.

[Heal].

A faint but larger yellow light enveloped her body once again and healed her broken finger.

Vivian was about to repeat the same process when suddenly she was interrupted.

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

There was a knock on the door.

She turned her head towards it and her eyes turned to slits.

Are they finally here to arrest me…?
