@Mugiwara:
It's so confusing because it would seem to be in his interest when Rud's faction could defeat Vera, right? With him being the pet dog of Yuri his purpose is reviving her from her coma as well as leaving the throne open for Yuri's return. I really don't know why he would plan against them, unless he plans far ahead and doesn't want Yuri to be countered in her fighting style… so the question is, are those intructions dead false and will do shit against Heaven's Riches or is there some truth in it, enough to understand and counter the plain concept of HR, but not enough to prepare against a true master like Yuri.
Rud & co don't seem to be doubting what FD gave them.
Man, i wish there was another translator/scanlator working on Veritas, this could probably solve some of our puzzles.
Actually FD does not want Rud's faction to defeat Vera, the problem is Rud and his friends are traditional arts inheritor's and they are opposing people who are reunion faction (People who were given the MAs including Shinra,Guhoo. etc, these people will join reunion after graduation) IF Rud and his co defeat Vera that means Reunion have lost and that traditional arts students will gain power and influence, the best thing FD want is someone from Reunion who are loyal to FD and Yuri to defeat Vera
and to achieve his goal he first gave the file(how to counter vera's fighting style) which he would have used to frame Rud later on (if he killed Vera, he would have used the file as the evidence that Rud and other traditional art students have assassinated vera)
