"What do you think?" Ronald asked.
"Nothing happened between them," Lumine replied.
"Seriously?" Ronald exclaid, seemingly annoyed.
Lumine nodded affirmatively. "Looking at Alicia's current state, I'm certain."
Ronald sighed and shook his head disappointedly. "And here I was, hoping to see my grandchildren early."
After taking another sigh, he said, "I'll go tell David. He has been very depressed since this morning."
"Wait!" Ronald was about to leave when suddenly Lumine grabbed his hand to stop him.
"Let's not tell him for now," Lumine said with a serious expression.
"Why?" Ronald asked in confusion.
"I have a feeling that there might be an interesting drama to watch if we don't clear David's misunderstanding," Lumine explained her intention with an excited smile on her face.
"Are you serious?" Ronald asked speechlessly, looking at his odd drama-obsessed wife.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen… probably… Even if sothing happens, you can calm him down with your wine collection. Right?" Lumine shrugged with a nonchalant expression.
Ronald was stunned for a mont. Although he didn't want to sacrifice his precious wine collection. Since his wife made a request, he decided to follow along.
"Fine." Nodding in acquiescence, Ronald turned to look at the sea and frowned. "I'll go talk with the yacht's captain."
***
Currently, they all were on their luxurious yacht in the waters of the Aiverson Empire, taking a ride back to Tuxel City. After breakfast, they imdiately left for the dock as their yacht had been docked there since Ronald and David ca with it.
A few hours later, they arrived at Tuxel City and imdiately used a transport circle from the hub, returning to their estate in Tryston City.
But just as they arrived, David and Ronald used Transport Circle again and left for sowhere, saying that they had work to do. Luis and the others didn't think much about it and returned to the mansion.
"Ahh~ Finally back ho~" As soon as she entered the mansion, Lumine exclaid with a smile. Then she turned to look at Alicia, who had Ivy wrapped her tail around her neck like a scarf.
Seeing this, Lumine smiled. "She is not leaving your side. Huh."
Alicia smiled helplessly and while rubbing Ivy's fur, she said, "It's because she didn't get to see yesterday."
She was also a little guilty about it, but she didn't want any distractions on her date. The night before her date, Alicia had left Ivy in Lumine's care and only this morning she got to see her again. It must have made Ivy anxious because she didn't get to see Alicia and now, she was unwilling to leave her side even for a second.
"You better comfort her then," Lumine said with a smile, to which Alicia nodded.
At this mont, Luis spoke. "I'm going to my lab, guys. See you later."
"Are you going to move your lab too, Luis?" Lumine asked curiously.
Luis nodded and said, "You have seen my pocket space. I'm going to transfer everything inside."
Lumine expected sothing like that from him. After she had been to that space. "I'm really interested in how much your space will increase when you reach C rank. Maybe another 10 tis."
Luis chuckled and said, "You are not thinking about Dad's guess, right?"
"Not to that exaggeration, but I'm still interested," Lumine admitted since she was indeed curious.
At that mont Alicia's voice sounded, "You broke through to Order Rank?!"
Seeing Luis nod, she asked with a small frown, "When?"
"On the day of our exam after our fight. When you guys left, after the interrogation… I an the discussion; I completed my breakthrough." He answered honestly.
"Why didn't you tell ?" Alicia pouted.
Luis rubbed the back of his head and said awkwardly. "Well… surprise!"
***
Returning to his lab, Luis checked the machines that were being operated by Lily and looked through the results and data of the experints that had been conducted in his absence.
"Good job, Lily. You have been working hard."
Lily, who was wearing a white researcher coat above her dress, beca embarrassed, hearing Luis' praise. {Master, these minor projects are going smoothly, but the major project [Dinsional Paradox] you asked to focus on hasn't made any progress yet."
Hearing this, Luis waved his hand and said, "It's fine. We already knew it wouldn't be easy. Without any prior research data, we are starting from scratch with no information or basis. So, it's normal to not make any progress. Just keep trying different formulas and continue with your search for ancient records. I'm sure we will find sothing, eventually."
---
After his inspection, Luis started shifting his entire lab inside his pocket space. Within a few minutes, he had completely transferred everything. Lily's chip was also transferred inside. Which further ensured her security. Before, Luis had given her a small access channel through his spatial magic to let her keep operating constantly both inside the pocket space and the outside world without interruption.
Then Luis returned to his room, and within an hour, he packed his luggage and put it inside his mana bracelet.
"Phew~ It's done!"
"Should I go see if Alicia is done with her luggage? Nah, scratch that."
'I better spend today resting. From tomorrow, I'll get busy either increasing my strength or getting mixed up in all the drama and plots of the ga.' Thinking so, Luis spent the rest of his day lazing in his room.
***
The day ended fast, and the next day, Luis and Alicia, after saying goodbye to their parents, left for the academy using the sa route via Tuxel City.
Of course, Luis didn't miss the chance to flirt with Alicia as the hours went by in a flash and they once again stepped onto the Main Island of the Oracle Archipelago.
Then, with the help of Lily's navigation, they made their way towards the dorms allotted to them.
"Is this the place where we will be staying? It looks quite good from the outside at least," Alicia mumbled, looking at the luxurious building in front of her.
Luis nodded and said, "Yeah, let's see how good it is from the inside."
As the two of them entered the building, they t a tall brown man with an afro hairstyle looking at them with a smile.
"Welco to the S class dorm students! I am the dorm manager here, called Vincent. But before we proceed, I would like to see the notification the two of you have received and verify your ID here. Please." The man nad Vincent asked politely, while his eyes were focused on Luis, making him feel a little creepy.
'What's up with this man? Why do I feel uncomfortable with his gaze?' Luis thought as he observed Vincent with a frown.
Alicia didn't think much and proceeded with the verification.
"All done! Student Alicia Raven, you have been allotted room number 2 as per your student ranking on the first floor. After you have moved in your luggage, you can co and get your Student ID from the lady dorm manager nad Jasmine." Vincent explained, then seeing Alicia nod in response, he shifted his focus on Luis.
Luis hid his doubts to himself and proceeded with the verification.
"Student Luis Suarez, you have been allotted room number 1 as per your student ranking on the first floor. Please get settled, then get your Student ID as I explained to student Alicia."
"Yes, Mr. Vincent!" Luis replied, showing a fake polite smile, then imdiately left with Alicia after getting the directions.
All this ti, Vincent has been observing Luis with a glint in his eyes.
