'When did I become like this, was it in my last life? Or has this world and system been affecting me so much that I don't even recognise myself anymore?' James felt quite disturbed that he hadn't even noticed his mentality changing until it had already happened.
[Host is beginning to show the attitude of a dominator, a dominator will bring their allies with them and leave their enemies in the ground]
'Can you change the effect of the Dominator skill set into a skill, just call it dominators mind or something, I don't like this feeling of not being myself.'
[System level is insufficient]
'How much Exp does it cost to upgrade the system again?'
[50 Exp, would you like to upgrade?]
[Yes / No]
'Go ahead.'
[Upgrading]
After a couple of minutes of waiting James received a confirmation that the system had been upgraded successfully.
[Completed Hosts request, skill Dominators mind added]
[Would you like to know the upgrades to the system?]
'Yes please.'
[System received an increased level of suggestion and has some abilities that have now been upgraded, for example, the system can now collect achievement rewards without the host's input]
'Is that it? It's not exactly easy to get Exp to upgrade.'
[There are other things available, but the host hasn't reached the requirements for unlocking them yet]
'Well, at least I have something to look forward to now I guess.'
After the system upgrade James just spent the rest of his day practising with his sword and spear, he also decided to throw in some ranged weapon practice such as archery and crossbows. While he was exercising he started sparring with his guards to get more combat experience, he felt it was a lot better for refining his skills but still lacked that edge of fighting for his life as he knew these men wouldn't kill their client.

James woke up at the sign of first light and headed to pick up the new shelves for his shop; he wanted to have everything set up for his opening day tomorrow. Luckily for him, Fletcher had proposed a deal to cover all the staff for the store as long as he didn't have to pay rent for the space of his goods. When the shop became more successful in the future this deal was likely to save him a good amount of money; it seemed Fletcher was sure that the store would succeed.
Once all of the shelves were transported, and the store was ready to be filled with the goods to be sold James headed to the building he had been storing the finished spears in, every order for the nobles should be ready now. It was time for him to fulfil all of his orders, James hired a bunch of carts and sent them off to each nobles house, once he had sent off every order he realised he still had about 50 spears left, so he decided to move them to his store to get sold.
With all of his orders fulfilled it was time for James to move all of his smiths and carpenters to the Artisan Quarter, now he would be able to make some progress with them. He went to find Tobias and told him he had a quota for at least 25 spears a day along with 15 crossbows and that he needed to work with the store and carpenter to cater to the demand for whatever was more popular at the time. As long as he met that quota, he was free to play around with the designs James had given him with the rest of his time.
James checked in with his tailors and found that they had already managed to complete 100 sets of decently made clothes, having the constant supply of fabric from the fabric workers enabled them to maximise their output. Their rate of failure was also incredibly small because the quality of the clothes didn't have to be amazing it just had to be consistent.
Finishing up checking on everything James headed to see Fletcher about the real estate agent they were opening, he also wanted to list the 29 newly furnished buildings he owned for rental.
"You've been busy James; I see everything is beginning to come to fruition, this school is the talk of the town, there isn't a single commoner family who isn't going to send their kid to it. Are you sure you can handle those numbers?"
"Yeah I have it set up with various classrooms that can each hold a large number of students even if they are a bit cramped, we should be able to handle the numbers, and if we can't, we can always expand. In fact, I may have to, I don't want to have to worry about my teachers burning out having to look after too many students. Do we have any suitable buildings in the real estate agent?"
"Speaking of that it's ready to go by the way I've just been advertising it at the moment. Unfortunately, the talks are suppressed at the moment by everyone talking about the school. But yes we have a couple of buildings that fit the same requirements as the last one."
Do you have one that's on the opposite side of the district to the last one, it's not exactly for the commoners to have their kids travel."
"Yes we have one that's in a pretty densely populated area on the other side of the city, it should fit your needs perfectly."
"And about the real estate agent, I'm sure the people who would need to know about it will have heard about it, they're the ones who would be keeping their ears open after all, also I have these 29 houses to put up for rent, they're all newly furnished."
"How much would you like to rent them for? I can probably squeeze out 4 or 5 Leones a month from the right person for each one."
"Just rent them for a cost that is affordable for the common class people, I don't need the money all that much at the moment, well not when it comes to those amounts anyway."
"The more I learn about you, the more confused I get, you want a large volume of money yet you still don't forget about the people below you, I just struggle to understand your motives sometimes."
"The great thing between us is you don't need to understand them, but since you have an interest there's no harm in telling you. I plan on getting to the inner city to attend a school to learn about magic circuits and magic itself, I need to raise my status so I can get accepted to one of the schools, I have a teacher to recommend me but only on the condition I up my status."
"You really don't aim low do you boy, well I wish you luck in all those endeavours, I also ask you don't forget about me when you move to the inner city" Fletcher gave a sad laugh. Apparently, he had enjoyed interacting with James and had stopped seeing him as a kid and more of as a friend.
"I plan on bringing you up with me so don't worry, you'll see what I'm up to soon." Having said and done all he needed to James decided to leave back to his house, he estimated the noble would be back by now either with some form of crystal in hand or begging for his brother's life.
