Minos still couldn't use the ability Henricus Longus had sealed in his body. However, he was certainly close to gaining control of it and bringing the powers of the Spiritual World's God of Time back to life.

He knew what that guy could do in the Spiritual World's past. After all, he had the memories of the most relevant parts of Henricus Longus' life. As such, Minos understood very well why he had been assigned to this place.

The alien then said. "Because of this possibility of yours, recruit, you are here to learn about clairvoyance. Come with me."

Minos walked a few steps behind that creature as he listened to its words.

"Have you ever thought about becoming a clairvoyant? It's a unique path, Recruit. Seeing fate is like spying on the plans of the creators and mighty experts of the universe. If we make the slightest mistake, we could find ourselves up against someone capable of killing because of our attempt to spy on the future of someone we're not supposed to be spying on.

There are ways to look at people's lines of destiny so that the seer doesn't have to take any risks. In short, there is a balance between risk and clarity. The greater the risk, the greater the clarity of vision and the more detail you will have about the future. The lower the risk, the less clarity and detail you will have.

Sometimes, what makes a good psychic is not their courage to take risks but their ability to read the little signs and interpret fate correctly.

I'm going to make you a good seer, recruit. But you're going to have to learn a lot of things to do that."

He said as he entered a library very different from the one Ruth had entered a few moments ago, but a place with plenty of study materials.

"You will be studying the basics of clairvoyance for the next few weeks. I won't ask too much of you right now. You've never practiced my art, and you have other skills to develop. So I just want you to spend all your time here studying the materials on shelves 1 through 5.

If you have any questions, come and ask me. When I have some free time, I'll see you so we can talk."

Minos wasn't normal. The alien could see that. So he was willing to give this young man a little more attention than other guild internal members would give to people in this young man's situation but without his strange qualities.

"After you've learned the basics, we'll change your routine a bit so that I can teach you some methods and put what you've learned into practice.

But don't expect too much. I don't intend to let you spy on fate to any great extent until you become a Sovereign."

"I understand."

The creature used one of his branches on Minos' shoulder and said. "In the meantime, take the opportunity to learn more about Zocarro, the differences in cultivation in this world, and the power relations in our area. That will help you to know what to do and what not to do, to avoid problems, and to take advantage of opportunities. When you've done this long enough, you'll be ready to reach a really important level, Recruit."

"Thanks for the advice, Officer." Minos thanked him before seeing the man off, leaving him in the library where only a few people were present.

As expected, most of them were external members, especially Recruits.

There was no time limit on how long one could be considered a Recruit in Armhands. If you didn't meet the requirements to become a Soldier, you could remain a Recruit for centuries.

But hardly anyone with the ability to join this guild would take longer than that to become a Soldier.

'I'd better get to work...' Minos turned his attention to the books and began to study the art of looking into the future.

...

Hours later, the group would meet again as they finished their first moment of study and understood part of their routine from that day on.

In addition to focusing some of their time on learning better ways to use their powers and special abilities, the group would also have other responsibilities during the day.

For example, they had to complete the guild's mandatory missions, something they would have to focus on sooner or later. So they had a part of their day to focus on solving such things, which could really help them grow in Armhands.

No matter how much they learned or became stronger in this place. Without earning merit points, none of them would improve their positions.

But everything there was connected to everything else. By learning more about this world, improving their skills and knowledge, and cultivating, they could do more for the guild and earn their merit points.

Therefore, they had to have time to learn ordinary things, cultivate, train, and prepare for mandatory and optional missions.

They would have time to do some of these things later. Today, after finishing their studies, the group would gather to go to the cultivation cave they had won by being invited by the guild.

After trying to understand the local map for a while, the group left the urban part of the city and arrived at a waterfall area within the area surrounded by the local wall.

There were several caves there, including the one they could use starting today.

"This place is magnificent." Said one of the men in the group when he noticed that the rocks surrounding the cave they had just entered were special and naturally increased the energy density inside the cave.

The place they were given wasn't large, but it could comfortably accommodate eight people cultivating simultaneously.

Maximilian then suggested. "Let's split up into shifts to take advantage of this area. We have more than 30 free hours a day, so we can divide the group into two and cultivate here for 15 hours a day."

"Yes, that would be better." Minos agreed. "Each of us will have to adjust our schedules according to our shift of cultivation in this room.

Today is our first day here, so some of us must wait outside to cultivate. We'd better use this day to absorb the resource we received earlier."

One of the level 99 robots nodded in agreement and said. "We need to prepare ourselves as best we can for life in this place. As far as I can tell, it won't be easy for us to grow up here. We haven't run into any problems yet, but the competition here is fierce.

You don't just have to do your own thing to grow in this guild. For example, there's a certain number of Rank-and-File Soldiers. For someone to become a new Soldier, they have to take the place of an old Soldier, taking the place of a guild member who has been promoted or died. We'll be competing with all the Recruits in this place, but even the Rank-and-File Soldiers will look at us warily.

I don't know how long we have, but I have a feeling we will be in trouble soon!"
