The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Mission Preparations

Luca used to be rich.

Well, up until about an hour ago.

The little money grubber stared into oblivion as he realized what everyone meant when they said that establishing your own guild took a lot of resources.

Ollie actually looked at his good brother, who had selected a corner and was sitting dejectedly.

It was all because they required a certain level of preparedness to go on such a mission. And the items were bound to be inspected the moment the instructors learned where they would be going for their first mission.

Instructor Falco never imagined he’d lose a chunk of his Class A students to the mercenary life when it’s only been a month of classes.

Then, he was woken up with an absence notification for four people who were going on a mission to Kestrel Point.

The instructor, who had just finished the class, immediately went on a tirade about battle preparedness.

It was one thing to go with the military and another to embark on your own mission.

The instructor was visibly shaken, especially after learning that they did get the cheapest lot available. If anything, he was hoping they were just saving money for their actual gear.

But lo and behold, these kids from the Dungeon Guardians guild hadn’t even converted anything into credits.

So, Instructor Falco went ham.

And one little money grubber had to part with a big chunk of their auction earnings.

If anything, his roughly 130 billion had already been slashed off when they decided to go through with the plan to develop a business front in the Duchy.

And while his father was adamant about not asking for a single Star coin, the little money grubber wasn’t about to be unfilial and offered money after learning that building these facilities would in turn allow him to earn more money.

So, there went the little dragon’s first 60 billion. But he didn’t panic. With a little bit more than 70 billion left, he was more than just financially stable.

The little money grubber was then able to shift his mood.

He was fine.

Everything was fine.

Until it suddenly wasn’t.

Because as soon as the necessary paper works were filed for the mission, there came the notice to present their battle readiness.

And Luca was dumbfounded.

Kyle presented a long and exhaustive list that almost blinded the little chipmunk.

And everyone saw him shift from a normal small animal to a horrified prey.

"Wha—what is this?" Luca pointed at the offending list that was handed to him.

"It’s the usual required list of items that guilds keep in stock to function." Xavier had to explain after seeing Luca’s clearly violent reaction.

"We’re new. So they’re expecting us to start preparing and gathering resources before going into private missions."

This was why they initially didn’t concern themselves with private clients. Most guilds would work with the military first until they amassed enough wealth to slum it on their own.

But they clearly weren’t a normal guild with a normal trajectory.

And so their first mission was a search and rescue operation in one of the recently infested planets that guilds have started avoiding.

So, to no one but their leader’s surprise, they would have to prove their ability to do this mission.

Which meant spending.
