'That is another plan for the coming future,' sighed Reve. 

He had many things on his mind right now. His situation was worse to the point where he had little time to train himself and prepare for his advancement. 

Reve transformed back into the form of Reve of Azea. His body broke and reassembled until they fit the look of what he intended. 

Getting up, Reve picked up a slip of paper that lay on the side table. It was the same paper that Lord Gawyne gave him a day before. 

However, he had scribbled a few things on it. The open books also present on the table were a sign that Reve had focused on deciphering the code yesterday. 

It took him hours but he finally solved the code. 

Looking at the slip, he pondered on the words he deciphered, "The Frozen Inn. Red room."

This was an invitation. Or to be more specific, it was a message to a specific audience. 

Reve surfed through his memories, 'If I recall correctly, Frozen Inn is a famous inn in the west domain of Starhold. Some of the students here are quite familiar with the place. Hmmmm…..what then does 'Red room' entail?'

Reve pondered on this for minutes. While doing this, he took his bath and dressed himself in casual wear. 

'Hmmm…I don't have a clue. It should be literal. I can only confirm this when I get there.'

After he was done, Reve walked out of his room and left the Academy District. 

While merging with the usual crowd of humans, he transformed himself into a young man with regular looks. 

He then called for a carriage which responded swiftly. 

The driver stopped in front of him, "Where to, young Sir?"

"Can I assume that you are familiar with Frozen Inn?" politely asked Reve. 

The driver smiled, "Yes. Almost everyone knows that place."

"Then, that is my destination," replied Reve. 

He saved the driver a few good seconds by opening the carriage door himself and entering inside. 

The driver whipped his horses lightly and they began to move.

*Neigh*

While the horses ran freely on the road, heading for Frozen Inn, Reve went into another round of deep thoughts. 

'My auction debut is coming in a few days. My main priority should be to find an alchemist, but they are not so easy to find. If I can't find anyone in time, I shall just make more Dragontails myself.'

Reve was not an alchemist, but that did not mean he could not make potions. Due to his lack of alchemical knowledge and experience, his potions were sure to be subpar, but they could still be considered potions....if one reviewed it while shutting down their brain. 

Okay, maybe he needed an alchemist badly!

'Hmmm….I will see what I can do before the day ends,' muttered Reve. 

'I'm tired.'

Since the start of the holiday, he has been running here and there like a rat chased by a cat. 

He merely had moments to himself where he just behaved like himself….like a cat emperor that loved adventures. 

But, he could not complain, could he?

He chose this path despite the warning from Circe. 

Reve leaned on the inner sidewall of the carriage. Feeling the warmth of sleep embrace him, he closed his eyes and let his body rest. 

.....

Two hours later.

The voice of the carriage woke up Reve, "Young Sir, we have arrived."

"Hmmm..." 

Reve struggled to get out of the carriage. His eyes showed signs of drowsiness but his body refused to collapse. 

Ten bronze coins were given to the driver by Reve. The carriage soundly left after the driver received it. 

Reve turned towards the building where he was dropped at. It was the sole building in the vicinity which felt strange to Reve. The only thing he could see were trees, green pasture, and a short road that led to the building. 

"Ahhh, another walk," sighed Reve. 

He spent minutes walking but he eventually got to the door of the inn. 

As he was about to open it, he heard noises coming from inside the inn. 

Reve released a short stream of breath and confidently pushed the door wide open. He ignored the looks of the boorish men drinking ales beside their table and walked ferociously. 

"Well, well, look who we have here," hissed one of the men. 

Nevertheless, he didn't continue his words and kept on drinking his ale.

Reve glanced at him with a menacing stare. Realizing that if he didn't show dominance here, the others might see him as an easy target. 

Hence, he released his vast aura that covered the entire space. Everyone that swam in it felt their throats constrict. They fell to the ground, begging for breath as their mouths opened widely. 

"Oh, good gods, boys! Why do you always have to be so messy?" said someone in the inn. 

Reve traced the feminine voice to a well-defined lady with obvious curvy hips. She wore a tight-fitting shirt with small shorts that only covered half of her laps. 

Reve paused his steps as he noticed she was not affected by his aura. She almost seemed to be immune to the effects that it came with. 

Reve frowned, 'She is strong, excellently strong, but I feel like....she is not stronger than me.'

Sadly, he could not check with [Appraisal]. He feared the lady would be able to detect it as he was capable of detecting if somehow used similar skills on him. 

Reve retracted his aura, sparing the boorish men. From the corner of his eyes, he traced his sight all the way to the counter and noted the empty seat. 

He then noticed that the men had shut their mouths immediately the lady spoke.

With a quick understanding, he walked closer to the lady, "Good day, I'm—-"

"Aye, aye. I don't care who you are. How are you going to compensate me for what you did?"

Reve smiled in response, "I understand. My apologies for my sudden attack."

In a shocking turn, he brought out a bag of coins and dropped it on the table she sat at. 

The lady instantly scowled, "What nonsense? You think you can settle this with materialistic objects?!"
