The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261: Exams 2.0

If there’s a will, there’s a way.

This proverb had become Theo Belgrave’s daily chant since that fateful day he’d met his benefactors.

Gratitude wasn’t something you could show properly just by ranting online—not that Theo hadn’t tried.

He and his family had defended DG passionately, persistently, and anonymously across forums until the moderators practically knew him by username.

Yet, despite doing this and even launching a forum for them and mainly the people of the outer marketplace, it still felt off.

He’d thanked them many times, but what were words, really?

He, for one, knew how much words of encouragement barely helped him when all the other guilds turned him down by encouraging him to try elsewhere.

And how the people of DG barely said anything and yet just helped, even going the extra mile. And so he planned to finally supplement his words with actions.

It took a while, well, because they had to wait for the next month, but this time he was going to try for it.

Theo Belgrave was going to take the mercenary exam for pharmacists.

Well, in his mind, he sounded pretty cool when he announced that to his family and to Noah, but his friend said he looked like he was in the middle of picking between "unstoppable" and "running back with his tail tucked", and he didn’t even have a tail.

Yes, that kind of thing.

Still, he, for one, should know what chickening out would do and what trying could mean.

And the worst-case scenario, he could just try again next month, but probably with a herb that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

But he’d think about that later, or hopefully never, as he stared at the carefully preserved Jade Vine that he asked to borrow for this very day.

He was hoping that the same vine that gave them a small miracle would give him one today.

Aside from the fact that it held a symbolic meaning for him, this particular herb really wasn’t one that people would easily find in the market.

Not unless they were checking way back when his ancestors were still roaming the land. For this Jade Vine wasn’t withered, or near wilting even.

This beauty was one that came straight from DG. One that was brimming with so much vitality that Grandma’s been claiming it’s made her younger.

Although, who wouldn’t feel younger and lighter knowing that the medicines made from this particular batch lasted so much longer than usual?

And the same could be said in the family where there was much less worry, save for the older brother who was in active duty.

But that was something that nearly all families shared, and he, for one, was training to be a medical pharmacist.

At first, it was so he could come with the missions to try and actively search for Jade Vine, but now that his worries had been alleviated, he ought to use his meager skills for something!

Like assisting DG, who may need more members because of their dizzying schedule.

Unlike before, when Theo didn’t know news about the guilds save for the ones that gathered herbs, now he was more updated than even the members of the Mecha Piloting Division.

He knew about their tough schedules and fully booked days, which was why they had all requested a pretty long term break from attending the classes physically.

He wanted to help but could only do so if he passed the exam.

One that was in two parts.
