Draw 1.11

Draw 1.11 is the twelfth chapter of the Draw story arc.

## Synopsis

A slight time skip of four days is had where it is said that Victor has sold or used much of what he had managed to bring with him from back home. Some of it was discarded though because there was nobody interested in it and he had no reason to keep it. Although some items he did keep despite having no practical use for him beyond sentiment.

Victor had worked long enough that the fee they took from his earnings to pay for the guild identity crystal was finally finished being paid off and with his sold possessions he was now in a more financially stable place.

As he was told about how he should be able to get to the red rank in the guild, Victor decided to ask about demons only to be told by the guild staff that he would do better to ask other guild members and look at the job postings above his rank if he is curious about things like demons.

While waiting on the reader he had been hiring to be free, Victor felt a tap on his shoulder and behind him he saw Leahla.

She informed Victor that the job for being a statue model had not gone to him. Not feeling like he had lost much, he took the opportunity to ask her if there were any demons around causing troubles. He is told that there hasn't been anything related to them in a long time, and even that was not directly related to demons.

Leahla started to probe why he was interested in demons, which he explained as his worries over being weak and expecting they would be strong. This leads her to offer him some weapons training with someone she knows if he is willing to do some work for her that night. She also tells him to bring his things with him sense she believed she had found something to make some of the items last longer and she wished to verify it.

Before he could ask her further questions, Victor saw Leahla leaving and instead went to hire the reader. He was told about the jobs that he wasn't familiar with already and with the spare time he had her look for demon related jobs.

When Victor went to request a herb gathering job, Victor was told by the worker behind the counter that he isn't allowed to take it. A bit of a back and forth was had between the two lead to Victor learning that Leahla had made the deal that was made a job for him and part of it stipulated that he can't take other jobs until it is completed.

Trying to argue, Victor finds himself unable to make progress on getting a job and instead left, not only the guild, but Orlayns Wave in its entirety.

While out of the town, Victor thinks about the artifacts the others had when they came such as Gloria's bow. In the process, he started to retch while thinking of the time he had spent with him. While thinking he tries to reassure himself that his classmates death weren't his fault.

After some time, Victor decided to return and find his way to Leahla's home.

Along the way back to Orlayns Wave, Victor comes across a jurex (not named until next chapter) and decides to kill it in hopes of getting a mana core, as he wanted to earn some money that day still. While going in for an attack, he quickly found the small creature wrapped around his leg where it started to feel like it had been sunburned.
