"So, you’re Soren Kingswell, the famous one from the new batch?"
Professor Logan looked at the young boy standing before him, his eyebrow slightly raised in faint surprise.
Like Professor Lyra, he could naturally see Soren’s true level.
But what surprised him more was that faint resonance he felt from his bloodline the mont he appeared inside the tent.
He would have such a reaction only when the figure before him was also a bloodline holder, and it had to be of a high rank since he holds Titan’s bloodline.
’Interesting... is that why he changed so much in such a short ti? Bloodline Awakening?’
In an instant, Principal Logan made many inferences unknown to Lyra and Soren, smiling with faint amusent.
For a mont, Soren couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable.
"Well, I don’t know about being famous, but yes, I am Soren Kingswell."
He still replied succinctly, though, not feeling any pressure from the huge guy.
He had to say, his passive, King’s Grace was very useful in many scenarios.
"Haha, young man. No need to be so humble. I know what you are capable of."
Principal Logan laughed lightly before looking at Soren appreciatively.
To be honest, even he was very surprised to hear that this student had managed to survive a C-rank dungeon when he was so low in level.
Even with that Bloodline Awakening, it was a very impressive feat.
"Okay, as much as I want to have a discussion with an excellent student like you, the ti isn’t in my favor."
Principal Logan imdiately stopped praising Soren, before turning a bit solemn, his eyes gazing at Soren lightly.
"First, I would like to apologize to you as the Principal of the Elite Hunter Academy. To be honest, I am a bit ashad that you were ambushed right outside the camp, right under our noses."
He suddenly bowed with his head lowered, surprising both Lyra and Soren.
"Principal..."
Lyra was so surprised that she imdiately tried to stop him, but Logan didn’t care.
Despite being a high-level figure, he seed genuine in apologizing to the student who was far weaker than him.
For a mont, Soren stood awkwardly as he didn’t know what to do.
He couldn’t just say, "You are forgiven," could he?
Fortunately, Logan quickly lifted his head up, restoring his original dignity, sparing him from awkwardness.
"Principal, you don’t have to do that. It was I..."
But Lyra felt quite bad as it was practically her duty after all.
"No need to feel bad, Professor Lyra. You already notified of the danger."
Logan stopped Lyra before mumbling with a frown,
"I just... never thought that woman would be so crazy to send my student directly into a C-rank dungeon. She has so guts."
"Hmm?"
Although he mumbled faintly, everyone was close. Of course, Soren heard him clearly.
’So he knows who is behind all of this?’
He was really caught off guard when he saw Logan’s eyes eting his own,
"Yeah, I know who is behind all the recent ambushes you have experienced."
Logan nodded as if reading through his thoughts,
"She goes by the na Isabella. Well, although I cannot tell you more than that for so reason, I for sure know that she isn’t after your life."
Principal Logan assured before looking at Soren curiously,
"She just... seed extrely interested in you and hell-bent on testing you. Just... I never thought she would throw you in a C-rank dungeon so lightly."
’Isabella? Why do I feel like I heard this na sowhere?’
While Principal Logan was still talking, Soren, on the other hand, was busy trying hard to rember the events in the ga.
But no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t pinpoint who that person was. He just felt that he had heard that na sowhere.
"Well, what happened had already happened, and I bet that woman also didn’t expect you to encounter an Ancient being in that dungeon. I have to say, you kid has so crazy luck on your side."
Logan couldn’t help but look at Soren, his curiosity getting bigger and bigger.
How could it not when the student in front was layered with so many mysteries that even he couldn’t see through.
First, his unknown bloodline, then the mysterious interest of soone as powerful as him, and now his encounter with an Ancient that even he dared not contend with in a re C-rank dungeon, no less.
What were the odds?
For once, he bet that Soren must have gotten so benefits from that Ancient being sohow. That’s how they operated normally anyway.
If soone said Soren wasn’t lucky, he wouldn’t believe it. Of course, he was also prone to accidents, but that’s beside the point.
Fortunately for Soren, Logan was rely curious and wasn’t coveting or anything.
"Umm... Principal Logan... so, what about that Isabella you just spoke of? What will I do if she cos for again?"
What the heck was he lucky for? Soren almost didn’t roll his eyes speechlessly.
From his talk, it seed the person targeting him was sohow in equal ranking to the Principal.
And this musclehead was praising his luck?
To be honest, Soren was a bit panicked. After all, this ant the person targeting him was above level 500.
’All because of that damn one mistake... fuck...’
Soren cursed internally.
’Does snatching the protagonist’s chance have such dire consequences? Isn’t this butterfly effect a bit too much?’
All of this happened just because he tried increasing his class rank by one level.
First, he encountered unusual events and got the next floor key, unlike Evan in the Unique Dungeon. And now soone too powerful got interested in him so suddenly.
There was that ’Kingswell’ surna-related issue, too, when he was awakening the bloodline.
Seeing how one after another mystery was beginning to shroud him from every direction, Soren couldn’t help but frown.
He thought that, with his Perverted Harem System, he would snatch the Protagonist’s heroine one by one along with so of his opportunities and live a lavish life as a king, but the situation was already derailing in just two weeks.
"Hahaha... young man, I know what you are thinking. But don’t worry, as I said, she isn’t after your life or even wants to hurt you. Rather, she seems pleased to see you all alive and well."
Principal Logan saw the frown on his face and laughed. Then he slightly waved his hand, taking out two objects of unknown origin, one a dark orb and another a shiny, small prism.
"In fact, she seed a bit too concerned about you, you see."
Logan said before throwing a dark orb to Soren, who caught it reflexively.
"Hmm?"
For a mont, he was puzzled and tried to scan it using his ’Eye of Insight’, only to see no information whatsoever.
There wasn’t even a panel, as if the orb wasn’t sothing important.
"It is a Soul Orb."
Fortunately, Logan explained before Soren could ask. Only...
"What? Soul Orb?" *2
Both Soren and Lyra were shocked the mont they heard him. In fact, Soren almost didn’t lose his grip on it due to surprise.
For a mont, he even thought Logan was joking, only to see his face totally serious.
"Yeah, Soul Orb... a genuine orb from the Underworld, a product of the River Styx."
Logan sighed slightly before explaining.
"Well, to be honest, I was also surprised when Isabella asked to give this to you. I was quite skeptical, but she said it is very important to you."
Principal Logan looked at Soren and conveyed what Isabella had told him before.
"She also said that if you don’t want to die on the next floor, you must strengthen your soul power at all costs. She told you not to enter that place until you reach at least level 99, and that she will et you officially once you cross level 100."
Logan inford Soren of everything that he promised Isabella.
To be honest, he was very curious about what this was all about. From the information he was getting, he knew it seed to be related to so kind of dungeon.
However, he didn’t have the habit of prying into others’ secrets, just like he didn’t like others snooping into his.
Well, the main thing was that he really didn’t want to irk that woman, who was an SS-rank Necromancer.
It was really not worth it. She must have known, hence he beca the ssenger.
’Tch...that woman!’
’Damn! Fuck... so she indeed knew about the Fallen King’s Cellar. And more importantly, she even knew there was a next floor?’
While Principal Logan was curiously looking at stunned Soren, he, on the other hand, was sweating bullets.
The information that there was a next floor for that Unique Dungeon was sothing even he didn’t know of.
So, how did that unknown woman know about it?
’Just... who is she?’
Soren really couldn’t pinpoint any distinguishable figure in this ga by the na Isabella, making him frown more and more.
"So, what do you think? Do you want to take it? Don’t worry, I’ve thoroughly checked that orb for you, and I guarantee it is genuine with no tricks."
Seeing Soren constantly frowning with nervousness, Logan spoke again.
He also realized that this information seed to be a heavy secret of Soren.
’If that is the case, it makes sense why that woman let give this information and orb to him.’
If she ca herself, Soren would surely be scared, and there was no way he would take anything from her willingly.
Well, even if it was him, since this was their first eting, he didn’t know whether Soren would believe him. That’s why he also asked Lyra to stay behind, just in case, to vouch for him.
He was a man of his word and took every promise extrely seriously. Well, it also had sothing to do with his bloodline.
"I will take it. Thank you for the information, Principal."
But it seed his worry was unfounded as Soren surprisingly composed himself before storing the orb directly into his inventory.
All that nervousness and uncertainty shrouding him seed to have suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Logan had to say, his disposition was quite good.
"Okay then. Since you have decided, I have nothing to say."
Logan nodded calmly and then finally gave the remaining prism he had taken out of his inventory before.
"Besides telling you the news about Isabella, this is another thing that I wanted to give you."
