{Nick pov}
A few days later, walking out from a shop whose front sign bore that of a butterfly.
I went there to pick up come unhatched butterfly eggs to be a new addition to Pestilence.
The past few days Ruby and I collected some insects which I wanted to be part of it.
Leaving it to grow stronger I want to test it out in a dungeon later in the day.
With that done I made my way to the scalene institute which I should have gone to a few days ago.
But needing some time off due to over exhausting myself, I called in for some days off.
Luckily my request was not denied when I mentioned my name.
It looked like me clearing the fragmented gate solo put me in their good grace.
As I said before the institute was basically a place where Young awakeners are gathered to allow them buildup their power base before they could be allowed to join a guild.
Because, if being forced to join under fake promise plus being untalented led to oppression which in some instances led to suicide.
By the way I will also need a weapon, the long stick I was managing got disintegrated upon me trying to attack within the domain.
Vrom vrom
Checking my vibrating phone I smile upon seeing the called.
My aunt Jenna 'ruth' Bailey.
Hello aunt Jenna.
"ohh you stubborn kid you start living on you own an can't call you aunt any more right''.
Am sorry I promise I call more often.
" yes yes making promises you won't keep".
So can you tell me the main reason you called, even though I already knew.
"oh right before I say this Nicholas please answer me truthfully which power category did you awakened and what power".
On the call I heard the way her voice was mixed with anxiety and I new the reason why.
Donald "just" Bailey.
The man who is obsessed with living the life of an high class, talent and a peak ascendant.
He is also my grandfather and the one who threw to this countryside.
He was one of the people I wanted to bait with my appearance on the news.
Though i am a Communer the fact that I was able to clear a C- gate about to break while at mid adept was enough to catch his attention.
It a secret aunt.
"Sigh, Alright I hope it not at least bad anyway the family head wants to see you. You should come around the institute transfer period okay"
Alright but on more thing.
"Yes?? "
I need some money for a new weapon.

At the institute Nicholas walked towards the administrative building.
After checking With the person in charge, he was directed towards the lobby.
As most awakened focus on combat the didn't really have a classroom to gather everyone.
As Nick moved to a construct dungeon, he ran into two familiar people.
Nathan Huggs and Stella Baller.
Nathan was the first to get him "hey dude so you can finally decided to show up, Clearly trying to spice up the mood.
While trying to come up with a response, he looked towards the other person beside Nathan.
Stella Baller a girl who lived not far from his house and has been nice to him ever since he was sent here.
Greeting her Nicholas said "hi"
But she stood still looking at him. As Nicholas was wondering what was wrong with her, Ruby kicked in to save the day.
{Your charm host did you not notice it}
Thinking back after the fight with the imogi the received it charm but it imogi wasn't really that beautiful so he didn't pounder much on it.
As told this to Ruby, she replied.
{ That is not the case although the effect of your charm is limited to your rank. It is still potent enough that you can charm people with low mental strength}.
We how about we wake her up.
Hey Stella trying to get through to her, she snapped out of her trance and waved back at me.
Hey is no even listening to me, Nathan would was about to start complaining feeling ignored.
Looking for a way to change the subject,
Hey guys since we're here how about we clear a dungeon together.
Having said that both of them turned their heads towards me,
For real, they both said in perfect unison making them look like people who knew each other enough to finish their sentences.
Yes come it will be fun and also time is money so let's move it.
Well if you say so but let start with some introduction.
My name is Stella and I am a Communer(fire badger)
Okay mine is Nathan and I am an enhancer that focus on the gauntlet.
As Nathan finished speaking both of their attention got fixed on me
Though I felt it was unnecessary but come to think of it both Nathan and Stella were meeting for the very first time.
The name is Nicholas and I'm a Communer, what I focus on hmmmm let say you will find out in the dungeon.
Hey Nick just say you called upon some weak and trying to hide it. Don't worry you big brother will carry you through the dungeon, he said jokingly.
So times I wonder how I became friends with this guy.
"Alright which dungeon should we clear today".
How about the lizardman dungeon.
