Vroom... Vroom...
"It’s so stable inside even though we’re moving at 180," I said nonchalantly, sitting beside the driver’s seat.
"That’s rcedes for you," Jasmine laughed, her previous formal tone completely vanished.
"Hmm, judging from her expressions, she enjoys driving the car," I thought inwardly, my gaze fixed on her excited, smiling face.
"Are you also an Awakener, Jasmine?"
"Yes, I’m at C-rank, but I don’t like fighting, so I work as a manager for the lower-rank Awakeners in the guild," she replied.
"Now I feel guilty for using the guild manager as my personal driver."
"You don’t have to, Mr. Raj. I really enjoy driving, and I don’t get many chances to drive this fast, as most guests get scared."
The 10 km distance was surprisingly covered within five minutes, and I reached the destination twenty-five minutes early.
We stopped before the gates of a horizontal L-shaped school building.
"Whom do you want to et here, ma’am?" the security guard at the entrance asked.
"Don’t mind us. We’re only here for a short visit from the Black Raven Guild," Jasmine said, her face tugged with a smug look as she showed her identity card to the guard.
"Bl-Black Raven Guild!" The guard gasped, his eyes almost popping out. He bolted inside the security booth and quickly dialed a number on the telephone.
"Ma’am, may you please wait for a minute? Chairman Sir will be here soon to welco your visit!"
"Oh, there’s no need to disturb the decorum of the school for us," I said, joining in. "Jasmine, you can stay here. I’ll be back after taking a stroll."
"Then I shall wait for you here, Mr. Raj."
I opened the car door, and just as I was about to enter inside, the guard called from behind.
"Sir, may you please fill in the entry register before going in?" the guard asked nervously.
"Sure."
After filling in the necessary information, the mont I stepped inside, a short man with a fat belly ca bolting toward the gate.
His eyes first scanned the car parked outside the gate, then quickly moved toward .
"Good afternoon, Esteed Guest from the Black Raven Guild! May I know the purpose of your visit to our humble institution?"
"I wanted to have the nostalgic feeling of going back to school; that’s why I ca here. You don’t need to bother with ."
Yeah, I gave that ridiculous reason again, but this ti it didn’t feel as embarrassing as before.
The poor chairman, who must have sprinted for the first ti in a long while because of my sudden visit, gave a dumbfounded look upon hearing my reason.
After a mont’s pause to process it, he offered, walking behind with shivering steps, "Sir, you must be tired from the journey. Have a cup of coffee in my office, then I will personally tour you around the whole school."
"There’s no need for that, and you don’t need to be burdened by my presence," I rejected firmly. But the chairman didn’t seem convinced, so I added further, "If you keep following , I’ll imdiately leave."
Afraid of offending soone from the national guild, the chairman gave a slight bow and went inside, his belly bouncing as he left.
"Hah... finally, all the hurdles are gone," I breathed in relief.
The location where the blue dot was marked was at the empty backyard of the school.
Since I still had many minutes to spare, I casually walked around the campus, and surprisingly, it did give a nostalgic feeling when I saw children playing on the ground and lectures being conducted inside classrooms.
When only a minute remained for the gate to appear, I arrived at the backyard and found the space before bending and fluctuating with energy.
I quickly took out my phone and told Jasmine that I might take an hour or two to return because I was having fun here.
The fluctuation turned intense, shattering space like glass, and materialized into a light-blue-colored portal.
"So this is how a portal looks," I murmured as I stepped inside.
"Entering Gate..."

The other side of the portal was connected to a completely different place.
I was standing on the beach of an island. In front of was a vast ocean stretching as far as the eye could see, while behind stood a dense forest.
"Whoah! It’s my first ti on a beach!" I exclaid in happiness.
"I thought I’d be sent to so dark underground cave to fight goblins or large insects, but this place feels more like a free vacation trip."
That was just trying to comfort myself, as I could already sense the movent of various beings from inside the forest.
"Oh shit, I forgot to bring any weapon!" I exclaid, hitting my forehead.
"Wait a minute! If all my non-attribute skills were transferred, then..."
"Vivi, show the inventory!"
"Initializing Host’s request..."

"Aweso!!" I scread in happiness. "Co out, Vajra! It’s ti to drink so blood!"
I tried to pull out Vajra; however, the mont I touched its hilt, a sudden electric shock struck , almost burning to a crisp.
"Wh-what the... cough-cough... fuck just happened!?" I muttered, black smoke coming out of my mouth and ears.
"The Host doesn’t possess the mythic bloodline of the lightning attribute, so Vajra refuses to acknowledge the Host as its master. In conclusion, the Host cannot wield Vajra with this body."
"Y-you fucker, Vivi! Couldn’t you tell that sooner!?" I snarled, wiping my blackened face.
"Is that why Nyria refused to take Vajra from the tree house back then?" I thought inwardly, chills running down my spine at how sharp Nyria’s intuition actually was.
"Well, what if I can’t use a weapon," I muttered, grabbing a rock from the ground. "I’ll just crush them with my bare hands!"
Taking a step backward, I threw the stone toward the spot where I sensed the most movent.
Following the dull sound of the stone hitting sothing, the bushes ahead shook violently, and then a squad of five grey-colored zombies erged and bolted toward in an eerie, twisted motion.
