He~tui! What fellow witcher? So what if you're a fellow witcher? If I were you, I'd turn around and go back where you came from.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat School witcher's face didn't hide his malice and viciousness. \"Wolf cub, I advise you to be a good boy and listen. At this distance, I can stab my sword into your throat before you even grip your hilt, and you'll taste the rust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want to try?\" Since the other party wasn't even pretending anymore, Lynn saw no need to play the nice guy. \"Let's see if your sword is faster, or my Sign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat School was indeed skilled in swordsmanship and speed, but that depended on the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when facing opponents of equal or lesser skill would the Cat School's swordsmanship display its terrifying power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, \"Brehen the Cat of Iello\" was able to commit the infamous Iello City massacre because he was only facing civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he faced monsters stronger than him, his swordsmanship couldn't exert its proper effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the one in front of him, this seemingly ferocious Cat School witcher was clearly not even at Jadd's level, let alone comparable to Brehen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, his threat seemed pale, weak, and ridiculous in Lynn's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the air was growing thicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait! Stop! You two!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dijkstra hurried over from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood between the two, looking nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Kiyan, you've misunderstood. Master Lynn is also a helper I invited.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat School witcher, called Kiyan, stared at Professor Dijkstra with a look of betrayal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does this mean, Professor?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiyan's eyes widened, and his face gradually flushed red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hair seemed to stand on end like needles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Kiyan, who looked like he wanted to eat him alive, Professor Dijkstra's face paled considerably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still forced himself to explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please don't misunderstand, Master Kiyan. We absolutely don't doubt your professional skills. It's just...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed hard. \"Based on our understanding of the elven city-state of Aen Elle, Aen Elle was once very powerful. Therefore, in the ruins left by King Auberon Muircetach, there might be great danger.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kiyan was clearly not satisfied with this explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's precisely why Prince Adda sent me to protect you, and...\" Kiyan turned to Lynn, looking him up and down. \"Prince Adda only paid for one witcher.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dijkstra quickly said, \"You don't need to worry about that, Master Kiyan. I will pay Master Lynn's fee myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiyan gave Dijkstra a deep look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at him until the latter's scalp tingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the final outcome didn't go in the direction Dijkstra had feared...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that's the case, then alright,\" Kiyan finally didn't draw his sword, but instead showed a smile that looked more like a grimace. \"What happened just now was my impulsiveness. I hope you won't take it to heart, friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kiyan deliberately emphasized the word \"friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what he meant, it made people feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lynn's face showed no reaction, as if he hadn't heard Kiyan's underlying meaning at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Lynn's response, Kiyan walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was close, Master Lynn. Thank goodness you didn't clash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dijkstra breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still shaken by the near miss. He felt a chill down his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intention in asking Misia to invite Lynn was actually to use Lynn to keep Kiyan in check.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like ballast on a ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected that Kiyan, that madman, would almost start a fight just by seeing a strange witcher walk over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, no swords were drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dijkstra didn't dare to continue thinking about the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Lynn, would you mind if I asked you a question?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having witnessed what had just happened, Lynn could roughly guess what the other party wanted to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Professor, are you going to ask me, 'Is this how witchers treat each other when they meet'?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Dijkstra glanced in the direction Kiyan had left. \"So, is it like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, it depends on the person.\" Lynn shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the mutations, the situations of the various witcher schools were different:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Wolf School was probably the closest to normal people. Their expressionless faces were merely to avoid being morally blackmailed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Griffin School was like a constellation of shining stars. They were the noblest school, and every member of the Griffin School placed great emphasis on personal virtue and cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the errant knights of Toussaint practiced chivalry with considerations of noble honor and worldly fame...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the witchers of the Griffin School belonged to the true \"do good deeds and don't ask about the future\" type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sought neither fame nor fortune. Every member was inspired by the spirit of knighthood, wholeheartedly dedicated to helping and saving people harmed by monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly opposite the Griffin School was the most notorious Cat School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were eccentric, belligerent, cruel, impulsive, extreme, and fickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cat School members' moral and political stances were as flexible as a cat's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While accepting monster hunting contracts, they would also engage in various activities that violated the witcher's code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the employer was willing to pay, even if it meant indiscriminately slaughtering innocent commoners, they would gladly go without batting an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the remaining witcher schools—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Viper School would also accept assassination contracts, but they weren't completely uncommunicative madmen like the Cat School.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bear School was emotionally cold. Unlike the Wolf School, where it was an act, they genuinely lacked strong emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Manticore School, they were largely unknown to most Northerners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they encountered witchers from schools other than the Griffin School, although it wouldn't necessarily lead to a tense standoff like with the Cat School, honestly, other witchers probably wouldn't be too happy to see Lynn either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no way around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Lynn's home world, fighting for a kill in a game could escalate to defending one's ancestry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone in their own line of work, suddenly having another witcher come along to share the spoils, causing their income to decrease, it was normal to be unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drahim Castle, not far from Novigrad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the bygone glorious days of the Seamaid Dynasty, this castle was the dynasty's place of origin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as time passed, the dynasty's territory was gradually devoured by Redania.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the dynasty's birthplace was reduced to just this castle and the surrounding land within sight, still belonging to the dynasty's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last royal of the dynasty, Prince Adda, was currently sitting in a comfortable armchair in the study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[author]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who support me on this journey.
