Inside the little cal café.
Luis was enjoying a cup of coffee, basking in the warmth of the brisk sunlight, which made his eyes squint in pleasure.
'Ah~ So satisfying~ Too bad, Alicia seems to be occupied with sothing. Otherwise, I could have invited her out on a date.'
When he thought about the nervous look on Alicia's face earlier, Luis beca sowhat suspicious and curious.
{Lily, do you know what Alicia is busy with?}
{No, Master. She didn't tell anything.}
{Is that so?} Though disappointed by her answer. Luis didn't probe further. Would Alicia hide anything from Lily?
What a joke!
With her personality and how close they are. Alicia would certainly have consulted about her problems with Lily. Maybe she asked the questions indirectly so Lily couldn't get the hint.
'She is being so secretive, huh? I wonder what might be the reason. Could she be planning a surprise for ?' Luis mused but couldn't co to a conclusion. 'Whatever, I will find out later, anyway.'
{Are the button drones still following the track of Frank and Rover?} When Luis asked this, his face was calm on the surface, but a deep fury was raging inside him. Those two bastards dared to conspire against him. No way, he is going to let it go. Besides, he still wants to find out on whose orders they acted upon, or was it their personal decision?
'Even if I can't deal with Orneus Aiverson yet doesn't an I can't deal with two re pawns. I am going to make their lives worse than death.'
{Yes, Master. They haven't stopped since yesterday and are constantly on the move. It seems they are worried about the trails.}
{Keep track of them until they reach their base. Once they are out on a mission again, notify .}
{Will do, Master!} Lily replied promptly.
Luis wasn't worried about alerting them with button drones. After its last upgrade, the stealth feature of the button drone has been improved a lot. As long as one doesn't have sensory abilities or special skills, for anyone below A Rank, it's difficult to find them.
At least he was certain that Frank and Rover were not capable enough. Otherwise, they would have found those drones tracking them in the past few days.
'The progress of that project needs to step up. Jack should have prepared those items and equipnt by now. I should find ti to make a trip back to Tryston City soon.'
Luis took another sip of the coffee as his thoughts drifted off to yesterday's exam.
The dungeon rush exam incurred a total of 218 casualties. Of these, 76 students had serious injuries, and about 142 students had minor injuries or suffered from abnormal conditions.
Fortunately, there were no fatalities.
The 'dead' William Park is locked up inside the pocket space prison. Which ans the first years still have 599 students in total.
This result was a little beyond the professors' expectations. However, except for a few, the other students' performance didn't satisfy them much.
Since the exam ended earlier than expected. Students were rushed to get their injuries treated. Those with minor injuries received simple first aid and were asked to return. As for others, it would take at least a few days to recover.
It's because Oracle Academy had the latest and most advanced dical technology provided by Atlantis, the underwater kingdom.
If not, it would have taken a couple of weeks or even months for the students with serious injuries to get treated.
Being honest, Luis was very interested in the dical technology of Atlantis.
While he was lost in thought, the person he was waiting for finally arrived.
A brown-haired man, about the sa height as him, approached with a gentle smile on his face. It was their second eting, albeit the first one offline. This person was none other than Michael Burnhead.
A second-year student, ranked 16th in the student rankings. Order Rank Two Stars in strength and the renowned freak of the Burndead Clan.
Only one with the Holy elent affinity among a bunch of necromancers and dark magicians.
Even after repeated confirmations through the investigation. Luis found this hard to believe. 'Just wearing casual clothes, the aura of a priest is emanating from him. You tell this guy is from a clan of necromancers? Who would believe it?'
Thinking of this absurd truth, Luis' lips twitched.
"Sorry to make you wait. I was helping a lady cross the road." Michael said with an apologetic look on his face.
Luis gestured for him to take a seat and chatted with a look of reminiscence. "Oh? That's nice. I also wanted to help lots of ladies. Too bad, now I am engaged."
Michael was taken aback by his words and expressed his confusion. "What's that got to do with it?"
"My fiancée would be jealous otherwise." Luis sipped his coffee and answered with a shrug.
Michael's expression turned strange. He felt they weren't talking on the sa page. Suppressing the weird feeling, he asked. "Which ladies did you want to help?"
"Young ones, of course! Why ask sothing obvious?!" Luis gave him a look of 'what kind of stupid question is that…?'
Michael was stumped. With an exasperated look on his face, he clarified. "Don't give that look! What I ant was HELPING THE OLD LADIES?!"
"You are so disappointing." Luis shook his head in disdain. "You can't let age be a factor that stops you. Whether old or young, you shouldn't discriminate."
At this mont, even the gentle Michael couldn't help gritting his teeth in anger. "What do you want?! Did you call here just to ss with ?!"
Luis' expression didn't change in the face of Michael's displeasure. He unhurriedly pulled a red bead from his mana bracelet and placed it on the table.
"I'm here because of this…"
"You should be very clear. What is this, right? Mr Burndead?"
Luis spoke in a calm tone, but his sharp gaze carried imnse pressure for the dumbfounded Michael sitting opposite him.
Under shock and fury, Michael questioned aloud. "W-why…?! Why do you have this forbidden item?!!!"
