Dryad

"When are they delivering the Dimensional Door to the Ruins?" Myla asks as I finish explaining how I got access to them.

"Either Friday or Saturday. So tomorrow or the day after. Luna and Innu have been impatiently waiting for it. Honestly, I'm worried it'll arrive on Saturday during the party, and they'll beg me to ditch it to explore the Ruins." I say causing Hino and Myla to laugh.

"I can see that happening." Hino says and I nod with a sigh.

"Have you decided who you're bringing into the Ruins during your first trip?" Myla asks and I nod.

"Yeah, It'll be me, Luna, and Innu. I'll bring Marlo and Irene if they want to come, but I won't **** them." I reply causing Hino to chuckle.

"****? I don't think any experienced Lyna confident in their skills would pass up a chance to explore some Ruins." She says and Myla nods in agreement.

"Do either of you want to join us?" I ask and they each shake their heads no.

"No. I'd like to, but we can't this time. Since it was given to you as compensation, we can't go in with you for the first time. If we did, then other Guilds might see that as an invitation to try and request access to them. Some Guilds actually sell tickets, as they call them, allowing others to enter Ruins they have access to. But maybe once you've explored it a bit." Myla says causing me to nod.

"Also if our parents allow it. After what happened the last time we joined you to explore some Ruins, we're lucky they'll let us join you in the Dungeons." Hino adds. We finish our lunch while talking about our Guilds. I'm surprised to learn that the Silver Garden, Blue Locus, and Starry Night Guilds have entered a sort of alliance. But I guess my Gramps has gotten close with Kallen and Kagiyama lately. It sometimes slipped my mind that my Gramps is a Guildmaster. Once the bell rings we go our separate ways. I go to my science class and Ms. Jack starts teaching. I have to pay attention since she's always keenly aware if we try anything. Once the bell rings I go to my study period and count the minutes. I wait until the bell rings and quickly leave. Since I stored my Tricksters Motorcycle away this morning, I go to the bathroom. I enter a stall and enter my Domain. I change out of my uniform before leaving for the Guildhall. I find Asami, Innu, Luna, Liz, and Anna at the entrance.

"Welcome back Master!" Asami says cheerily once she sees me.

"Thanks Asami, what are you all up to?" I ask, wondering why Anna's here.

"I'm taking a break from the construction to give my mana time to recharge. Asami asked me to come by earlier when I had time. We were talking about the dormitory you want to be built. I'm surprised you have so much money to toss around." Anna replies and I chuckle nervously.

"We'll I've been getting lucky with the Dungeons. Not to mention I have a talented Alchemist who knows how to farm apparently, my Domain is perfect for farming. Thanks to that, we'll be able to make the dorms." I say and she smiles.

"Hey, whatever keeps you coming back. You've singlehandedly doubled what I expected to make this month." She says with a smile.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it's time Guildmaster." Liz says, teasingly. I sigh before excusing myself and following Liz upstairs. We go to the meeting room and enter. I see Treena waiting inside.

"Thanks for coming Treena." I say while taking a seat. Liz sits next to me and Treena smiles.

"There's no need to thank me. What did you ask me here for though? Liz wouldn't tell me." Treena asks and I sigh, despite knowing she didn't tell her yesterday. I had hoped she would fill her in today.

"I recently found a Corrupted Forest Core from a Dungeon with Rotten Ents. Do you know anything about it?" I ask her.

"Yes, Corrupted Forest Cores are made when they get exposed to dark magic. This could be **** magic, Abyss magic, Undead magic, and so on. It'll change depending on the type of magic used to corrupt it. I assume it was Undead magic since it had Rotten Ents as its guardians." Treena says and I nod.

"Yes, I used Observe and it told me it'll create powerful undead or rotting guardians. It told me how to grow it too, and that once grown I'll obtain something unknown. Apparently no one has ever grown one before. So Observe couldn't tell me what it would give. Do you think it's safe to use or is it too dangerous?" I ask causing her to think it over.

"I don't know, sorry. It's not bad per se. If you do grow it, I would advise doing it in a Crystal Dimension." Treena replies confusing me.

"What's a Crystal Dimension?"

"It's a man-made version of a Domain. But it doesn't hold a candle to a real Domain. It's always day inside, and can't be upgraded with Domain Essences. That said, you can build a house in it or use it as storage. So it's common for rich Lyna to have." Liz answers and I nod.

"You don't think it's too dangerous?" I ask Treena and she shakes her head no.

"No, in fact, I think it might be good. You might be able to get some new magical wood. It could be something profitable." Treena says and I sigh.

"So are you going to use it?" Liz asks and I nod.

"Yeah, if it'll get a more stable source of income then I should." I say and she smiles. I talk with Treena about how the forest is doing. I'm glad to learn that things are peaceful, and they had found a new collector for when that resumes. I see Treena off before heading downstairs to greet Irene when she arrives.
