Sonya and her teammates departed the inn, leaving Siegfried behind to recover on bed. They walk down the street towards the imperial palace, in which it is said that it was built at the site where the first dark knight fought the shadow dragon. The palace, itself, appeared industrial becauss it is fitted with pipes. Nevertheless, it's built with stone blocks and Windows with arches. The guards stood at the entrance, letting the team enter because of the emperor's order. The interior itself is built with stone and pipes, and with columns that decorate the main hall that leads to the throne room. The team walked across the main hall, and they can see banners that hang from the upper floor to the columns. As they entered the throne room, there are few pipes that lined the walls and, the throne itself is carved from stone.

On the throne, is a middle aged man dressed in green regal robes. He has long red hair with streaks of white, short beard (no mustache), pink skin, and he wore a crown decorated with a topaz and few rubies arranged in a circular pattern. This is no doubt the emperor of the Caerenth empire, as the team approached to the throne and kneel.

"Introducing his imperial majesty of the Caerenth empire, emperor Darill Caerenth" Announced the guard.

"Welcome back, young Eric and Laura! I have been waiting anxiously for the report" said emperor Darill.

"Your majesty, we have arrived at the Blue moon by the Lunar Shrimp like you sent us. We've met a Dragoon and this White mage along the way, we even entered the Moon Base to learn more" explained Laura.

"You went to the Moon Base, and you learned more about it? Is there any place that you have explored? And what have you found?" Emperor Darill questioned.

Eric and Sonya explained to him about what they have been doing, such as battling an octopus monster in the Lunar tunnel and entering the Crystal Palace. Not only that, but they had discovered crystal fragments of job classes that are unheard of. They met the old Lunarian sage and fought a monster with ice powers, who turns out to be a mutated Lunarian.

"That is... very hard to believe" said emperor Darill.

"But it's the truth, your majesty. We even brought the Crystal fragments from the moon!" Said Sonya as she was concerned.

Then the team took out each crystal fragments from their bags, and showed it to the emperor. He examines each crystal, to see if they're legit. Much to his surprise, the Crystal fragment of the Psion glowed as a response. The team watched as the emperor become a Psion through job change, in which it shocked the guards. Emperor Darill looked at himself and saw that his regal robes is now a lab coat with a shirt and pants, and his crown is now a headdress.

"Is this... am I a psion?" He said in confusion.

"You are now, that was the Psion crystal fragment you were holding" replied Laura.

"Astonishing, these crystal fragments contained such classes so advanced! You all done well, you may take these crystal fragments to the job research facility so the researchers will study them" he said with a smile.

The team nodded and picked up each crystal fragment, before leaving the throne room. They went down through the hall to the right, where it leads to the job research facility where researchers test out invented job classes to see if it's useful or not. In there, they can see many researchers working on the Crystal fragments on each work bench. They watched as test subjects test out the ability/ magic of the job classes as they walk by, some were successful while others couldn't get the abilities nor magic spells to work. At the end of the job research facility, they entered the main office and saw a middle aged woman behind a desk. She was writing check marks on the report, determining if the job classes were successful or not.

"Welcome to the job research room. I am Gertrude, head researcher and one of the job class inventors" she said in a bored tone.

"My name is Sonya, and this is Laura and Eric. His imperial majesty sent us here to drop off four job classes that we acquired from the Blue moon" said Sonya.

"From the Blue Moon? Yeah, adventurers come there to explore it even though there's nothing exciting there" said Gertrude sarcastically.

"If I may, the job classes that we got there are a bit advanced and were made by the people called the Lunarians" Eric explained.

This piqued the head researchers interest, her expression went from bored to curious.

"Advanced, you say? Well, show me the Crystal fragments to see if you three are not lying to me" said Gertrude.

The team pulled out the crystal fragments from their bags and placed it on the desk, in which the head researchers eyes lighten up. She never have seen the different symbols on the Crystal fragments before, so she studied each one to see what job class it contained.

"You say these are from the Blue Moon?" She asked.

"Yes, these were made by the Lunarians" Eric replied

"Interesting, you may leave these here for me to study" she said with a smile, as if she had given an opportunity to research on the Lunarian job classes.

The team walked towards the door to leave the office, but Gertrude wanted to say something.

"Before you leave here, won't you try out the latest job classes?" She offered.

"Sounds like a plan!" Laura said enthusiastically.

Authors note: how was this chapter? New job classes will be introduce next chapter.
