Chapter 577 [577] War between the guilds.
I was a bit taken aback, to be honest. I had expected a coalition of a few guilds to gang up on Twilight… But all of them?
That was unexpected… Really unexpected. If my knowledge is correct, our relations with all the other top 10 guilds aren’t so bad.
The 4th and 5th rank guilds have always been eager to take our spot… They go by the names of the Black Panther and Genesis, respectively… But what about the rest? We have some sort of sour relationship with the Phoenix guild, which is the eighth ranked guild…but with the rest of them, we have good relations.
It’s not wise to make so many enemies, so our relations with all the rest of the guilds are quite good actually, fantastic… So why are they also ganging up on Twilight students? Perhaps the threat of us actually becoming the first-ranked guild in a few years was enough for them to make a move?
No. That’s not right. Although there is a mutual power check between the guilds, It’s not that. It can’t be that. The guilds that aren’t in the top 5 aren’t that strong. Panther and Genesis, as well, can’t compare to the top 3. Despite what is thought, There is a stark difference between the top 10 guilds.
The top three, namely Titan, Behemoth, and Twilight, have their own league. And due to this they also don’t get involved with the others, outside business relations. And in Shield? That has no value, They know about Sir Oliver, so they wouldn’t be as brave to do something like this…unless the guild masters get involved… And that is something that shouldn’t occur at all.
The fourth and fifth ranked guilds are also in conflict with one another, and the rest have their own interests to follow. But…why?
Why are all of them, that have so many conflicts with one another, getting together? Twilight has promised the ones it has a beneficial relationship with benefits… So there is no fucking reason for them to do this…
‘Hmmm…’
Ugh, this isn’t how I do things…but considering where I am and what kind of situation this is, I can’t do things the usual way… Unless.
“Well, that isn’t something I need to do… I need to find out the actual cause behind this.”
I muttered, the other students looked at me with hope in their eyes, whilst Kazikato was already dozing off… I excused the rest and simply told them to stick together, and gave them my contact information just in case.
Reclining on my seat, I pondered. But no matter what, it didn’t make any sense to me. Students, as young as they, that they could easily be influenced by some meager emotions…shouldn’t let the issue escalate to this level.
Some might, but all the guilds have their ‘chosen’ who also lead the students sponsored by their guilds. The first years are more prone to make such…decisions based on small issues, But the chosen are not. Although the others may not understand the importance of the relations between guilds, the chosen are not like those. They should know that this will cause the relations to strain…and thus would put a stop to it… But they aren’t. They are letting this be… Of course, some of them could be fucking idiots…but all of them? Highly unlikely.
But then that just brings me to the same question, why are they doing this. And why the guilds behind them are…wait.
Shield… Shield is an isolated institute… The influence of the guilds here is small, due to Sir Oliver… The guilds should be unaware that this is happening… Completely unaware. But even if that is the case it’s impossible for this to be hidden forever, shield is only a part of our lives, Generations carry their grudges. The chosen should know this is simply bad for them. And they would also face repercussions from their own guilds when this matter comes to light.
“But, regardless. At least the guilds aren’t directly involved.”
I took a sip of my drink as I thought about it more. Thankfully, the guilds aren’t involved, and it’s a matter only within shield as of now. So it isn’t really complicated.
In fact, I could just go right now and either scare or beat the shit out of the chosen or the other students doing this, making them afraid and reluctant to attempt such. I’ve never been one to care so much about my reputation…but then that would cause the twilight members to build a dependency on me. Not that it’s bad, but too much can take a turn for a worse. I would like to avoid such a scenario.
But, the solution to this can be thought of later, there is no outside influence if my assumptions are correct…therefore there is a student or individual within shield that is inciting this. I can rule out the major staff and teachers of the institution. They know who my teacher, Elena Frost, is, and also who her teacher is. If they value their careers and their lives, they wouldn’t mess with me.
The minor staff don’t have any power to do this as well…which leaves only a student. One that has enough influence to gather all the guilds against one. The one’s in the student council know me, so they can be excused…
So who is it? The likely one would be someone with a lot of power and money, in the top 10 of the respective years, and one that has a solid reason to do this, and also looking to gain something for this.
Reason, risk, and reward. But then who? There are many individuals that come to mind, particularly from Behemoth and Titan, the ones who are most threatened by our rise in power…
But the list is too many, I should consult Maxwell about this later on and get some help from him, He would be able to narrow it down…
I checked the time, and was surprised to see that it was already nighttime… I scratched my plans of consulting him later, and opted to do it now.
“Kazikato.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
“Huh…?”
The sleepy head struggled to respond to my words… I sighed and told him.
“Keep a watch over the guild members, you’re the top ranked first year student. Use it to help them somewhat, but keep a low profile. And if Sabrina asks…try to just divert her attention. I’ll handle the rest if she consults me.”
Without waiting for a response, I hopped into the portal I made, one that connected me to Maxwell’s office.
