I Have Seven Dragon Souls In a cultivation world
Chapter 133 - Ministers V GeneralsBut despite all their searching, Dante and Lennox still didn't manage to find anything that caught their eye.
So Dante and Lennox continued their search.
but as Lennox and Dante were walking deeper into the market, they suddenly heard a loud commotion.
"What! I'm the one who has already bought that armour piece! You can't just sell it to another person after I bought it!"
"look. I'll give you a refund if your money is all you're worried about, but I'm afraid I can't sell that item to you any longer!"
Dante looked over to see the cause of the commotion and was surprised to see some familiar faces.
The person who was complaining about buying a treasure was Gawain!
He was standing in a crowd of students that also appeared to be his classmates. Opposite Gawain was a group of people in luxurious robes. Just from the material used to make them, you could tell that the clothes these people were wearing were definitely not cheap.
Suddenly, the stall owner started speaking again.
"I'm really sorry for this inconvenience, but I'm afraid I can't sell you this armour piece."
Gawain just couldn't accept this explanation.
Back at the Kinsman Clan, he was one of the top talents and even rival clans like the slater clan and Pierce clan had to treat him with respect.
yet here he was, being publicly humiliated like he was not even of importance
"Why won't you sell it to me?" asked Gawain in frustration.
"Is it because the person who wants it is the son of a government official?"
"It is exactly like that!" replied the stall owner without hesitation.
"I will not offend the son of an official for some random kid from the country."
after hearing this, the crowd of people dressed luxuriously opposite Gawain's crowd instantly burst out laughing as a man stepped forward.
"Hahaha! You freshman brutes of the Department of War need to learn something. This world isn't just about fighting and war, connections really do go a long way!"
After saying that, the man just burst out laughing again as he watched Gawain clench his fist in frustration.
While Dante was watching all this, he suddenly heard someone curse near him.
"Damn! Those dogs from the Department of Governance are doing it again!"
"Aren't those assholes embarrassed yet? They do this every year!"
From the words of the surrounding people, Dante instantly knew what was going on.
While it may seem like Gawain was being targeted, he was just an unfortunate victim in the wrong place at the wrong time!
every year the Department of Governance would do a similar thing as what they're doing now and try to bully the freshmen from the department of war to intimidate them in their first few days.
And although this kind of behaviour wasn't endorsed by the Academy, it wasn't explicitly punished either.
This allowed for the Department of Governance to continue this stupid tradition up until today.
And this tradition all stems from the poor relationship between the Department of Governance and the Department of War.
Since ancient times, Ministers and Generals have never really got along.
This is because it's very rare that there were instances where generals and both ministers can benefit from each other and each faction will of course act in its own interest, which will inadvertently lead to the inconvenience of the other faction.
Ministers are useless in times of war, and Generals are useless in times of peace.
This saying couldn't be taken literally, but there was still an aspect of truth behind it.
Times when one faction is stronger usually correlated to the weakening of the other, leading to an unpleasant relationship between the two.
This feeling of dislike filtered down to the Hidden Dragon Academy and into the departments that represented both factions.
With Ministers being represented by the Department of Governance and Generals being represented by the Department of War.
This all led to the current scene we are seeing here today.
Knowing the situation, Dante couldn't sit still any longer.
He was already going to help Gawain regardless, but now he knew this was a matter concerning the entire Department of War, It was impossible for Dante to stay still.
He was still The Dragon Son of the department after all.
He couldn't just sit by and watch as his department was bullied in front of him.
Hesitating no longer, Dante stepped forward towards the crowd of laughing students.
the man leading the group from the Department of governance continued taunting Gawain as he spoke
"Hahaha! So much for the valiance of soldiers of war. Just look at them!"
"They've already been bullied to such a state, yet they still stand there and take it."
Hearing this, Gawain was furious!
The group opposite him had an average cultivation level in the Martial Journeyman Realm, whilst the strongest in his group were only in the Martial novice realm. After all, they were still only first years.
Not everyone was a monster that could skip across realms.
If Gawain let his anger get to him and fought back, not only would they be humiliated, but they would also be beaten like dogs!
But despite knowing all this, even Gawain had a limit, and just as he was about to react, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Really? The Department of War has no courage?"
As Klent looked back, he could see a familiar white-haired young man step forward with a dazzling aura of confidence.
"If that's really what you think, then I hope you won't be offended by my next actions."
Seeing Dante approach so suddenly, the young man from the Department of governance was stunned. But this only lasted for a quick second before a confident smirk grew on his face.
"Hahaha! Sir Dragon Son, although your talent may be outstanding, you seem to be forgetting something.
you are only still in the Martial Novice realm and there's at least 10 us here all in the Martial journeyman realm!
