Death… And Me

Chapter 131 - Sect Gathering

Chapter 131 - Sect Gathering

The Initial Stage of the Core Formation is the limit for Rean. Even their infiltration to the Mission Hall was quite risky since there were one or other elders above that level who worked there. If they are caught inside the Blue Orchid District, they most likely won't leave alive. The last encounter with the Blue Orchid Disciples made their instance very clear.

That being said, they decided to gather intelligence first.??

"We don't know if this mission is focused on Malaka and Oka or if the other disciples also passed through it or not. Let's go out and make a few questions."

Rean nodded.

"Alright. It isn't too hard to figure it out. All we need to do is ask if all the new Blue Orchid Disciples disappeared right after they joined the Sect for some time. If we find out that it was the case, then we know that all new disciples probably have to go through the same Spiritual Rebirth mission."

Roan agreed.

"Look for some breaching point too, some clues that would make the infiltration easier. Just don't make it too obvious."

They waited for the morning exercise to be over and immediately run around, asking the older disciples. To not catch too much attention, they didn't stay in a single district but went to other ones as well. Although there are several factions, it doesn't mean that they can't interact with each other. In fact, the Sect encouraged the disciples to do so. After all, the Sect wasn't trying to create several feuds between its disciples. The only exception was really the Blue Orchid Faction.

"Hm? If the disciples who joined with the Sect me but went to the Blue Orchid Sect didn't appear for some time? What is it, kid? Are you interested in one of their girls? You better be careful since they won't show any mercy to you."

Sure enough, the majority thought that Rean and Roan were interested in the beauties inside that faction. However, they also got a few pieces of information.

"Well, now that you said, that seems to be the case. I remember that Lisa and Yuna didn't appear in the Sect before three months were gone during my time. At least, I don't remember to have seen them before that."

"That's true, the new disciples never come out after they enter. You won't see them before a few months have passed by."

Rean and Roan also found another interesting information.

"One month after every entrance exam, the Sect would have a gathering between the factions. It is a rule that all factions must participate too. Perhaps you can find the girl you are looking for there. Of course, those on duties or missions don't need to come. However, you better don't try to get close to those girls of the Blue Orchid, or your head might fly."

"I've been to a few of the Sect Gatherings, but I don't remember to have seen any new disciple from the Blue Orchid Faction/District participating. I wonder why, though."

"Usually, several elders and even the Inner Elders responsible for the factions make an appearance as well. It is a good chance to show off your abilities since the Sect promotes some duels during those times."

"The Blue Orchid girls also like to take the duels to show their superior abilities and training. As you probably know, only extremely talented girls can enter it. I totally understand you, little brother. You might be young, but you obviously like beauties too. That will be a good opportunity to see those girls in their splendor. I can guarantee you won't regret it."

Between misunderstanding and new pieces of information, Rean and Roan gathered everything they needed. They came back at the end of the afternoon to put everything together.

Roan then started.

"Alright. It has been almost three weeks since we entered the Sect. The Sect Gathering is happening in a little more than a week. To be more specific, ten days from now."

Rean nodded.

"Also, everyone we talked about said that the new girls always disappear for a few months. That pretty much confirms our suspicions. All new disciples probably must take the Spiritual Rebirth mission. Another thing that I noticed is that it doesn't matter who it is; all the girls from the Blue Orchid District would distance themselves from everyone else. I believe that even old friends are included."

Roan pondered a bit before saying.

"All the new disciples wouldn't appear for the first three months at the very least. So whatever they are doing, it will at least take this amount of time. Our chance lies in the Sect Gathering. A lot of elders and disciples have to participate, so the vigilance in the Blue Orchid will be at its weakest. That will be the best time for us to enter."

Rean agreed with Roan.

"That's true. However, we can't break the rules. If we are not in a mission or duty, we will need to participate in the Gathering. So what should we do?"

Roan shrugged his shoulders.

"Who cares? At most, we will get some punishment for avoiding it. It's not like others can find where we are to start with. After we deal with whatever is happening with Malaka, we might even have enough time to come back to the Gathering. Besides, we are not sure that she is in a predicament to start with. Everything might be just our imagination."

Rean had to admit that Roan was right. Even if someone comes looking for them, who will think that they went into the Blue Orchid District? That would be too much of a coincidence.

[Don't forget you still have the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. If you think you will be caught, just enter it straight away. No one in this place will be able to find you.]

Rean and Roan nodded. They also thought about doing it in the Mission Hall if necessary. But because no one could see through Rean's Light and Spiritual Sense Bending skills, they had no need for it.

"Then it's decided, the infiltration plan will start during the Sect Gathering ten days later."
