🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

- Come on, let's see what you're made of.
The old man didn't need to say anything or nod or blink or give any other signal – his subordinate already knew what needed to be done at that moment: he pulled the lever next to him, and the floor disappeared from under Genza's feet. After recovering from the fall, the guy finds himself in a room surrounded by three stone walls and a thick grate with a door in it. From above, where he just fell from, the face of the captor appears.
- Hurry up, - he tossed him a knife to cut the ropes, - your opponent doesn't adhere to any code of honor.
The opponent was probably a man of Calcite appearance, standing on the other side of the grate.

- This is one of the recent slave traders detained in Sugara... - The captor clicked his tongue again. - Unfortunately, the desert is not the most reliable way to deal with scoundrels, so sometimes you have to...
- Nemuyasu-dono. - The condemning voice of the female warrior made him close his mouth.

Shrugging, Kamistella decides to finally get to the "Symphony of Happiness" store, which she hasn't been able to do for ages.

But how did they find out where she lives?

Looking at the city map, Insho decided that it would be good to visit Symphony of Happiness and buy something to cover the fine for the scar.

While walking to the store she needed, Insho got a little lost, so the journey took a little longer than expected, but in return, she manages to meet Kamistella. Now, both Lunarites are standing in front of the doors of "Symphony of Happiness," but a notice posted on them prevents them from entering – due to "technical reasons," it is closed today.

"See, Professor, we met again. And much faster than expected..." - thought Erika.

Erika decided that she had already "practiced" with the Welfer sword, so she chose a talwar.

Unlike Sir Kira's lesson, the key element of Professor Pelenga's educational methodology was not practical combat, but theory, so the chance to gain combat experience here was unlikely. Nevertheless, this did not prevent Erika from starting to study the skill of wielding her chosen weapon, and also learning what awaits her in the next lectures.

Lecture 1: Talwar ✔️
Lecture 2: Skill of wearing combat gear ⌛
Lecture 3: Skill of wielding a shield ⌛
Lecture 4: Critical hits (Talwar) ⌛
Lecture 5: Mastery (Talwar) ⌛

"This is a true art. No, a true mystery," Ushumgallu brushed his hair off his forehead, smiling faintly. "I'll have to repeat it."

- Come again, - the priestess smiled enticingly, gently stroking the guy's cheek, - the doors of the goddess of love's house will always be open to you, and I, Mgla, Arassa, or Lidia will be happy to have your company.
