When he reached the age of fifteen Johann finally left the study room and traveled to Karosgrad wishing to make friends, mingle with higher society and begin to work his way up for his house. When he did so - reality struck him. He understood in what dire situation his house was and to keep their status he needs to work hard and fast.
