Yami had been feeling troubled again lately.
The literacy class was about to end, but he still had not decided what he wanted to do in the future.
Apparently, there was an advanced class beyond the literacy class, a realm beyond his current reach. He had gone to ask Miss Zoe about it, only to be thrown out. Zoe had impatiently warned him, "Don't cause trouble."
Honestly, Yami felt rather wronged. It was just a normal question, wasn't it? How was that causing trouble?
After all, he had not even properly attended the literacy class for more than a few days before Lord... ah, no, Lord Theus was not Blood Port's lord. Before Lord Theus had called him over to read idle books like Linear Algebra, Complex Variables, and Probability Theory.
Those books were interesting, sure, but they could not fill his stomach.
So Yami still could not make up his mind about what he should do in the future.
He had originally planned to join the expeditionary army, but Castel's strategy seemed to have changed recently. The expeditionary army was no longer recruiting so urgently. Apparently, the situation at the front had changed, and perhaps rapid reinforcements were no longer needed...
Of course, Yami knew what that meant. In his heart, he prayed for those poor people in the Northern Territory.
But it had indeed disrupted his plans.
For now, it seemed he could only enter a factory. Castel had not halted its plans for the Great Expedition. On the contrary, it had increased its investment.
They simply were no longer in such a hurry to send troops to the Northern Territory. Instead, they had begun continuously building infrastructure in Blood Port. Apparently, the rails needed for the Great Expedition would eventually be produced locally in Blood Port.
