While I was going through my day to day school life, in a different part of this realm, one of the spies who had a double job just reached the area of Sklavryet to give his detailed report of the details he got about the 27 newly summoned women from the Academe of Gnosis.

    Sklavryet is an autonomous region and an area open to any race, profession, gender or social background as long as you abide by its rules. It is an open secret that it is backed and governed by the higher ups of Noir which is a well-known assassination and espionage guild so nobody is brave enough to do crazy and illegal things here. It is kind of ironic though because slavery and prostitution is legal here but the difference is that the men in these situations are willingly subjected to it. The slaves are criminal or debt slaves. The prostitutes are men that were thrown away by their previous partners and chose this career to fend for themselves and most of them are single fathers that needed to ensure that they can support their children. There are rules though and the would-be masters and customers are bound to follow rules when having relations with the men. Those that are found guilty of not following the rules simply disappear, never to be found anywhere in these lands. Nobody talks about it but they knew that these men were dead and disposed of in some violent way that there was nothing left of their bodies.

    Noir is a highly secretive group of assassins and spies. This guild is rich, powerful and highly dangerous. They take any job as long as it doesn''t endanger the guild, its members and the pay is commensurate to the difficulty of the task. Most royals and nobles pay for their services no matter how expensive it is because they offer utmost secrecy and 100% efficiency which meant that they never fail and will never tell the details of a task they have accepted to anyone. Noir is known to be picky with accepting tasks though. They don''t kill innocent people, don''t steal money (unless it was ill-gotten wealth), don''t deal with illegal substances and don''t deal with harassment or tasks to taint or force men sexually. This guild is comprised purely by men as if they were rebelling with this world''s status quo where women are always in power or at an advantage.

    Nobody knows how or when this group was built but for some unknown reason, the leadership changes every 50 years, quietly. Nobody knows when this 50 years is up and nobody saw the face of the current leader and lived to tell who it was, not in the present and also never with past ones. The truth was, this guild was built about 500 years ago by the then leaders of Eieneos at that time. They used this guild to monitor the human realm and the other races. They are loyal only to the Eieneos'' royal family. When Eieneos fell, they continued to persist and accepted jobs to keep the guild going. They held on to the promise of their masters that they will come back and govern this world again.

    The spy they sent to the Academe of Gnosis is one of the Rank 1 assassins of their guild. His code name was Onyx. This task was of utmost importance because they knew certain confidential information that nobody in this realm knows. This information was passed in the form of a coded document from the previous leader to the next one. It clearly stated that the one who would govern them in the near future is the heir of Eieneos, the crown princess from more than 400 years ago. The document did not indicate clearly though how and when she will come back to this realm. She can be either reincarnated, born as an infant or can be reborn by taking over a dying body of somebody else. She can also infiltrate this world via a summoning ritual for women from a different world. They do not know exactly how but she will definitely be back as per the complete prophecy provided to them by the seer.

    As for Onyx, he was able to completely provide all the details he could get for the 27 women to Noir. The elders quickly went through all the details and did a short list of who might be their new master out of the 27 women. They were able to narrow it down to four women whom based on their previous choices and actions are out of the norm or seem to have a different reason for coming into this world than to simply sow their seeds. They tagged Emily, Samantha, Zoe and Luna as ones with the highest possibility of being the new heir to Eieneos. Onyx was quite puzzled as to why the target who has the least amount of information was placed on the priority targets list but then he realized, why would a new student of the academe who doesn''t know anyone or know anything about this world venture on her own for a full week. For the days that he observed her and the day she came out, she had a lot of places she visited as if she has been living in this city for many years and had known so many people. This is indeed a very unusual point.

    The current leader has been serving for barely five years. He is the youngest leader ever since the start of the organization, taking the position during that time at a young age of 18. The leadership is not inherited from a single bloodline for the last few centuries since only an heir of the Eieneos royal family have the right of inheritance of the leadership by birth and blood right. For the last few changes of leadership since Eieneos closed its doors to the world, the leader was elected via a rigorous series of tests and competitions open to any member with no limit in age or rank. The tests measure one''s intellect, physical and mental strength as well as leadership and fighting skills. If you think about these circumstances, the current leader who is a 23-year old guy now is a once in a lifetime genius. He''s human don''t get me wrong but an extremely talented one at that, as if he was born to be a member of this organization. Most of the members were orphaned children trained since young to work for the organization. They only ever took in people with no surviving families within the last three generations, no affiliations and spotless backgrounds.

    This year has been quite a surprise for the organization. It started with a world encompassing earthquake that happened more than a week ago. For most people, they felt that it was just a natural phenomenon but for Noir and the other races, they know that huge changes are bound to happen. They don''t know exactly what the earthquake meant. Was it the descent of their mistress'' soul to the world? Does it have something to do with the sleeping kingdom of Eieneos? Did a new high ranking magician obtain a new magic circle in his soul? Is it a coincidence of all these things happening at the same time? Who knows?

    The members of Noir believed that if she did not descend on the same day that the earthquake happened, she may have already arrived in this world a few days prior or even before that and her first move to announce to the world about her descent is that earthquake. The logic then brings them to the recent summoning ritual of the Academe of Gnosis which was more than a week or so ago. They strongly believe that one of the 27 summoned women is their current master in disguise. It is just that she is so good at keeping a low profile that they have had to check each and every individual to find out her identity. They took it as her first task to them. They have to find her as soon as possible. If they can''t do such a simple task, they feel like she will never acknowledge them as her people.

    As for the current leader of Noir, he is currently enrolled in the Academe of Gnosis under the alias, "Youssef". This is a secret mission that he partook upon himself since the situation is dire. They have been keeping the organization and Sklavryet afloat but having a master leading them and orchestrating how the organization should work and supporting the autonomous territory would still be the most ideal state for everybody. For this reason, Youssef had to meet and check on each and every one of those 27 women for the sake of this mission just to make sure they do not miss any clues. He had to stomach the perverted looks, unnecessary physical touch and advances not only by the newly summoned women but also the women that were summoned from the previous year that are still enrolled in this academe. He is a very prideful man and he hated women in general. He grew up seeing the state of the men who they rescued and those who have escaped to seek refuge and a new life in Sklavryet. The next thing he hated the most was that he had to take these useless classes about being a good husband and how to get pregnant easily which he does not have any plans in using not now and not ever.

    He''s not a saint though and his a young healthy man so he still finds himself attracted to some of the women but what caught his attention the most was the woman named "Luna". She''s not the prettiest and definitely not the smartest of the batch but he feels that she is hiding so many things compared to the happy-go-lucky life she was showing everybody. Being a spy and being used in living the lives of others as a disguise, he feels the same energy as his brothers in the organization from her for some reason. He was surprised that she did not look at him lecherously and even clearly stated his attendant to be his partner. This is an indirect way to say that she was not interested in a guy like him and it honestly hurt his pride a lot that she did not even give him a chance to get close to her. It irritated him but it was also a challenge he will never back out from.

    Youssef said to himself that he hated women and their advances but he seem to have eaten his own words at this point. That''s why we shouldn''t say words as if we are so sure of the future! Now he wants Luna to like him?

    As for those child bearing and rearing classes... Well... He''s gonna end up using them... I''ll end it with that. *Winks*
