Chapter 102: D009 – Before Conversation

[Brynhildr Fort]

Shortly after activating the skill, Hecate appeared in the entrance of the Guild Building.

She looked at the crowds around and found that there had been no important changes during her absence, except that there were fewer Players roaming around. Even the names Emilia, Rena-cchi, and KA✰ZU on her friend list were listed as offline.

This is understandable, since it was the end-term exam period where most of the Players who had not finished their studies and had to focus on passing their exams, especially high school students. Failing would mean that they will most likely held back a grade, or if they are in their third year then they will not be able to get into the university of their choice.

But suddenly Hecate noticed something.

"Oh, Emi and Rena are online."

The two grayed names on her friend list have become green simultaneously. This means that just now both of them logged in to play even though they would face exams a few days later.

Those online today are mostly Players who are already university students where exams are less restrictive or those who have joined the society. If there are high school students who are online, it means they are confident about passing or don't care about their exam results.

'Are they confident in their studies and sure they can pass the exams successfully?'

But after thinking about it some more, she remembered that Rena-cchi had already taken a special curriculum course, so she could advance to the university section straight away without needing to take an exam.

Hecate wasn't sure about Emilia, but she didn't seem stupid, so she was definitely confident about her passing.

"It's none of my business anyway."

She then accessed the Guild Treasury Exchange from her Guild Interface.

It was then that Hecate discovered that during her absence until now, her GCP had increased so much, reaching 24 million. She wasn't too surprised by this, because she already knew that most of her GCP came from Leon and Astrid.

Both of them are quite generous every time they give a reward so that her GCP accumulates so much over time.
