"Shouldn't a Sanguine Baron correspond to Sequence 6, the 'Potions Professor'?"
Miss Hermit, who had been observing everyone without speaking, said, drawing everyone's attention to herself.
Finally, someone who knew their stuff—and she called them Sanguine!
Emlyn looked at Miss Hermit, who was attending the Tarot Club for the first time. Satisfied with her wisdom and politeness, he nodded and replied,
"Yes."
The excitement he had felt when Miss Magician mentioned "Vampires" had subsided. He straightened his back once more and glanced at the other members from the corner of his eye.
Hmph, that means Sequence 6 me should be one of the strongest people here... Of course, excluding Mr. Fool, and that mysterious Mr. World. Wait, Miss Empress is very strong too...
He had barely felt proud for a few seconds before realizing that everyone else seemed to have grown stronger lately. They had even traded quite a few powerful Mystical Items. Aside from using the Sanguine's advantages to quickly get through the Low Sequence stages, he did not seem to have anything worth being proud of.
Upon realizing this, his next question came out much quieter:
"What I want to ask is, as a Sanguine, after advancing to Baron, do I also need to use the Acting Method to digest Beyonder Characteristics like all of you, in order to better master my powers?"
The Acting Method... As expected, the members of the Tarot Club possessed secret knowledge at this level. But that was not strange. To avoid killing one another, Orthodox Churches and family inheritances kept such matters strictly confidential, allowing only a few outstanding members to advance. Yet loose Beyonder organizations, especially those whose Pathways did not conflict, were instead willing to share such knowledge. Since they would not compete over resources, they could benefit each other...
