Dimensional Descent

Leonel took a breath and exhaled. It seemed that things would be more annoying now. He didn't think that after consuming hundreds of thousands of years of passed down laws, that just 20 or so years would be enough to change so much.

But if what this overseer was saying was correct, these laws didn't even appear alongside the other ones. Due to the suddenness of the change, it had become a loose, law of the jungle type situation. Leonel didn't believe that if he checked the laws now that there would be something that allowed the monopolization of missions, so it could only be said that this was being tacitly allowed for the moment due to extenuating circumstances.

After a moment of thought, Leonel turned to Aina.

"Check to see how many Void Merits you have."

Aina nodded and brought out her own disciple badge, but when she did so, the overseer was startled.

Void Merits? Did these two confuse Void Merits with Void Points?

Due to the changes, Void Merits had become even more of a rarity than they had in the past. With the most difficult missions being monopolized by a very small minority, the chances regular students had at earning Void Merits had dwindled significantly.

The result of this was an already rare currency, becoming even rarer. If you weren't the pinnacle of your Rank, the chances of you having Void Merits was almost nil.

However, the overseer remained quiet and still checked, only to be shocked into silence.
