Conquering The Game's World

Another hour later.

Olivia, along with Luis, Alicia and Diana, went to the transport junction of Pharmos City. Then, using the transport circle, they returned to the academy. Hena, using Muse's body, stayed behind along with the captured criminals to deal with the aftermath.

Luis' generous behaviour in helping them lift the Curse Mark of the tall man and the few other criminals made the Professors very satisfied. With this, they can interrogate them later without trouble after they regain consciousness.

However, unnoticed by Olivia and Hena, Luis had left a rune mark on that tall man's tattooed shoulder and had made those criminals swallow a button drone each.

White light flashed by, and four figures appeared on the underground floor of the Oracle Academy's library.

"Wuu~ Finally! We are back!" Diana said with a grin while stretching out her arms.

"Why do you make it sound like we were away for days?" Olivia shook her head with a chuckle. "To go there and come back. It only took us less than six hours."

"I know that." Diana pouted, then she thought of something and turned to look at Luis and Alicia, who were walking a step behind. "Alicia!"

"Huh? What?!" Startled, Alicia looked at her with a frown.

Diana grinned, then raising her right hand, she pointed at her. "I challenge you to a duel! Let's fight!"

"…" (x3)

"No," Alicia said with an indifferent expression.

"Eh! Why?" Diana became disappointed at her refusal.

Alicia's brows twitched in annoyance, and she scolded her. "What do you mean, why?! It's 1 a.m.! Which idiot will accept your duel?! I want to go back and sleep!"

Luis, on the side, gave Alicia a meaningful look and added in his mind. 'Yeah, why are you making trouble Diana?! My wife just wants to sleep with me! Can't you see how impatient she is?!'

"It will take just a few minutes, pretty please?" Diana begged, showing a pitiful look, while her fists clenched in excitement.

At this moment, Luis stepped forward to say. "Stop it, Diana! Just like she said, we just want to go back and sleep right now. You can duel with her later. Besides, don't you want to rest too?"

"Mm, fine… I'll challenge her later." Diana compromised.

Olivia added with a smile. "Remember to go to Battle Arena. Otherwise, next time there will be proper punishment."

"…" The three of them were speechless at her words.

After they came out of the library, Olivia was ready to separate from them.

"Okay, you all can go back and rest now. As for your rewards, you can come to me later."

"About that, Professor. You can discuss it with Professor Hena first." Luis said.

"Huh? Why?" Olivia raised her brows in confusion.

"Well, let's just say she made us a promise. I hope you will fulfill it together."

Olivia couldn't help but have a bad feeling after she heard his vague answer. She wanted to ask what the promise was, but Luis cut her off with another question.

"By the way, Professor. Can we take a leave tomorrow?"

"Why do you want to take a leave? With your ranks, aren't a few hours of rest enough?"

"No!" Luis and Alicia shook their heads in unison.

"No!" The next second, Diana also did the same.

Alicia wasn't interested in going to classes if Luis wasn't with her. Besides, she has a feeling he will do something interesting tomorrow since he wants to take a leave. How can she miss the fun? As for Diana, she had no reason. She just followed suit.

"… Fine. You all can take a leave for tomorrow. Now go back and rest."

Olivia waved her hand and in the next second disappeared from their vision.

"She's gone?"

Diana mumbled while looking at the spot where she had disappeared. Then said with a wide grin. "Hehe, I'm going to ask her to teach me her movement technique as a reward."

"Good for you," Luis said.

She turned to him and asked, "What about you, Luis? Are you going to learn her movement technique, too?"

"Nah, I'm not interested in that," Luis said while yawning. In his mind, he added, 'I know of a movement technique that is much more suitable for me. Too bad I can't get it for now.'

"Why though? I think it's pretty good."

"Yeah, I won't deny that. However, I'm too lazy to work hard." He said with a listless expression.

Alicia beside him rolled her eyes. 'Say that after you remove the 5 times gravitational pressure from yourself.'

Yes, for this entire mission. Luis and Alicia were under the effect of his gravity spell. At this moment, Alicia was still walking under 3 times gravitational pressure.

Diana, who was oblivious, snorted at his remark and said with an arrogant expression. "If you don't work hard. You will lose your number-one position to me and will never be able to catch up. Do you want to become a loser and waste all your talent?"

She preached because she didn't want to lose her rival. However, his response made her annoyed.

"Say that after you defeat me."

"Hmph, just wait after I master Professor Olivia's movement technique. I will challenge you again."

"Sure, but from now on, the challenges won't be like the one yesterday. Instead, we will bet something. You know, for motivation purposes."

When Diana heard the word motivation. She agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, but what are we betting on?"

Luis showed a thoughtful expression, then said, "Let's decide that when you challenge me next time."

"Deal!" Diana grinned.

***

Inside their dorm.

In front of flat number one, Diana separated from Luis and Alicia, waving them goodbye. Now only the two of them stood there for a few seconds, and the silence ensued.

"… Luis." Alicia was the first to break the silence.

"Let's talk about it inside, Alicia," Luis said, knowing well that they were going to have a long talk. So, he preferred to do that while in bed.
