Conquering The Game's World Chapter 207: Coded Message!

Inside the Jormundgar Classroom.

A beautiful green girl sat in her seat with a deep frown on her face. It's not that her test went bad. Rather, there was sothing else concerning her.

'Those two-academy staff have been monitoring Alex all these days.'

'Now I can be sure that the incident that happened to Alex at the ti of the month-end exam is related to them.'

'However, I don't know the exact details of how and what actually happened.'

'I only know about the things that happened after I ca into a relationship with him. I don't know about the things that happened before.'

'Damn it!'

'I should have asked everything from him. Now, I am not sure about what to do?'

'Should I let the guards kill those two? What if Alex is still in danger after that?'

Stress had been piling up in her mind for the last few days, making it difficult for her to get a good night's sleep.

'Uh, what I know is that Alex got into so trouble during the Dungeon Rush test and escaped because of luck.'

'However, can it be the sa this ti, too?'

Sera wondered, then shook her head with a depressed face.

'No, there are so many differences this ti. How can I let Alex's fate depend on sothing like luck?'

'I must protect him at any cost.'

Sera fird her thoughts and stood up.

'I should ask for the Professor's help.'

Familiar with the personalities of professors from her previous life. Sera already had a target on her mind. That could help her this ti.

'If I can convince him. Alex's safety can be assured.'

***

{… That's it.} Lily relayed the information.

{So, Sera is going to ask for a professor's help.} Luis said, with no change in his expression. 'Heh, so our protagonist now has a little guardian protecting him. I wonder how long she can protect him.'

Although Luis wasn't interested in helping or getting involved in their affairs. He still felt what Sera was doing didn't necessarily benefit Alex, or rather, she was hindering his growth.

'He is a guy with the unique Limit Breaker talent. He thrives in the face of adversity. Sheltering him from those challenges would only stifle, not enhance, his potential.'

*Sigh*

'Doesn't matter. I had no hope for them in the first place. Guess I can only do my best.'

{What about Frank and Rover?}

{They are back inside their living quarters. They sent a ssage back to their organization. However, it's coded. So, I can figure out the contents.}

{Hm?} Luis raised one of his brows. {Tell what the ssage was.}

{Sure! It goes like this:

Beneath the moon's soft, silvery gleam,

A peacock dances in a radiant dream.

Feathers fall like moonlit confetti,

But hyenas laugh, their hearts unsteady.

Beauty weeps, but the dance persists,

Silver echoes in the moonlit mists.}

{So, a poem it is.} Luis mumbled as he beca deep in thought, trying to see through the ssage conveyed in the poem.

'The silver peacock is most likely referring to Alex. Peacock's dance should be the Dungeon Rush exam tomorrow. As for the hyenas, it is them and the organization they are part of. Since hyenas live in packs.'

'Hyenas laugh, so they are confident about kidnapping him. However, what is the aning behind hearts unsteady part? Are they worried about sothing that can be an obstacle to their mission? If it is, I can think of several reasons their mission can fail. So, there is no reason for them to be confident.'

'Ahh, whatever…' Luis gave up, thinking.

Although he was very interested in decoding this coded ssage. He felt it wasn't worth the effort.

{Lily, just keep observing them. As long as their actions affect anyone other than Alex, remind that instant.}

{Yes, Master.}

Luis deactivated his telepathic connection with Lily.

He brought his focus back to Ben, who was holding a cue stick in his hand, trying to act like an elegant young master.

Though, of course, he failed very badly.

"Pffahaha! Stop it, Ben! You will make laugh to death! Hahaha!"

At first, Luis was surprised. When Ben suggested going to play billiards. His confidence made Luis wonder if Ben was good at it.

When Ben started playing, Luis realized that he misjudged. He was about to suggest to him to go play sothing else.

Right at that mont, Ben started his young master act. Which made it difficult for Luis to hold back his laughter.

"Hahaha!"

Ben pretended to be unaffected by his laughter, as he stared at him, hiding his sha.

"Why don't you try it too, Luis?"

"Um?" Luis' laughter stopped for a mont, as he hesitated for a second. Then nodded. "Okay fine. I'll try."

When he saw him hesitate, Ben wondered if Luis wasn't going at it too. 'No wonder he was suggested leaving earlier.'

Now Ben beca enthralled at the thought of seeing Luis fail. That way, his sha will be lessened, and he can gloat, seeing his friend fail just like him.

Luis had no idea about Ben's thoughts and even if he knew. He would only pat his shoulder with pity.

The reason he hesitated was not because he didn't know how to play. Rather, he was worried about undermining his friend's confidence.

Otherwise, with his Perforr (S) Talent, will he be afraid to perform? Of course not.

Luis picked up a cue stick, rubbing the cue, and he bent down to aim.

"Watch my performance…"

With those words, Luis made the break shot. Under Ben's astonished eyes, half the table was already clear.

He gave Luis a questioning look but of course. Luis didn't notice him. His focus was on pocketing all the balls numbered from nine to fifteen in the next two shots, and finally with the last shot he pocketed the black ball, ending the ga in a denial.

"Well, it's my win," Luis said, as nodded in satisfaction. 'I held back as much as possible. It shouldn't make people feel strange.'

He turned back to look at Ben, who was standing there, stunned.
