Conquering The Game's World

After a brief talk with his team and making an appointment with them. Luis returned to his seat as the next class was soon going to begin.

Alicia also returned as she sat down.

"How are they?" asked Luis.

Alicia glanced at him and murmured in indifference. "Tool people…"

Luis sighed with a wry smile. Before he shifted his attention to the mathematics professor who had entered the classroom.

For the rest of the day, there was only another theory class, and the rest were all practical classes.

That evening.

Luis left his dorm, going to the café where he and the other members of Team 3 made an appointment to meet each other.

Alicia had already left before him, as she was also meeting with the members of Team 5. She even took Ivy along with her.

Alone, the bored Luis, munched on the snacks as he talked with Lily via telepathy.

{Lily, how is the investigation about Nick Adams going on Dad's side?}

Yes, his telepathy skill worked on Lily. Maybe because she has human consciousness and is not just some data, programmed to act accordingly. Whatever the reason, for Luis this was very helpful to communicate with her.

{A team of 3 A-ranks and 2 B-ranks has been sent to Selvas City. Two of them have also joined the Norwish Mafia to spy on the information about Nick Adams. Unfortunately, he is keeping himself out of everyone's sight.}

{Hm… What about Nora Adams and the suspicious man I described that must be working with them?}

{They saw Nora Adams, but she has a lot of security surrounding her, which makes it difficult for them to approach her. As for the suspicious man, they hadn't met him.}

{They were told that they would receive the lord's blessing later. As the lord is currently busy. Only after receiving the blessing could, they truly be counted as the members of Norwish Mafia.}

{I see. The lord in their mouth should either be the Dark Magician or Nick Adams. As for the blessing, they must be referring to the curse mark. Since their head will blow up if they talk about it.}

{The possibility of that being the case is 98.76%.} Lily assured him.

{Let them stay hidden and tell me when they find anything or are ready to be blessed… I mean cursed.}

{Yes, Master.}

By the time his chat with Lily ended. He was already standing in front of the appointment location. The Little Camel Café.

When Luis pushed open the door, a pleasant sound of bell chimes was heard. Which put a smile on his face.

The interior of the café was simple, giving it a cozy feel.

'Good place, I can come here with Alicia to relax sometimes.'

Thought Luis, then facepalmed. 'Can't I stop thinking about her for a few damn minutes?'

He sometimes wonders, just why does he have so much affection for her, when there are so many other beautiful women in this world?

'Maybe because it's the arrangement of fate.' He mused in his thoughts. When he heard a voice calling for him.

"Mr. Luis!"

Luis turned his head to see a short purple-haired girl waving in his direction. Upon seeing the familiar face of his short team member, Luis moved towards her.

He noticed that the other four members of his team were already seated there.

"It seems like I was late."

"No, no!" The purple-haired girl shook her head, somewhat nervous because of his presence. "We just came here too early."

"Thank god!" Luis sighed in relief. "I almost thought that my watch wasn't working properly."

His words caused a small laugh to escape the mouths of other members, and the awkward atmosphere around them disappeared.

Luis smiled at them, and after giving a curt nod to them, he occupied the remaining seat.

"Before we delve into our discussion, let's take a moment for formal introductions, despite our existing familiarity. A brief exchange of introductions can help establish a more formal and engaging atmosphere." The blonde elven girl said with a flat expression.

Luis just glanced at her and didn't comment on the piece of breadcrumb that was struck at the corner of her mouth.

The others nodded, agreeing to her words as the purple-haired girl from before stood up with vigour.

"Then I'll go first!"

She made a cute pose and introduced herself.

"My name is Bonnie Brown. I'm a Dwarf from the Grandas Kingdom. My dad's an amazing technician. I ranked 31st on the entrance examination. My main weapon is a tech hammer created by my dad. I have an affinity with Earth Element. My current rank is 3-Star F-Rank."

Luis wondered if this dwarven girl had some sort of daddy complex. However, he isn't one to comment on it since they aren't very familiar with each other.

The next one to introduce himself was the red-haired guy with a listless expression on his face. He had dark circles under his tired eyes.

"The name's *yawn*… Cobert Ruse. I'm from the southern region of the Aiverson Empire, from a town called Garzha. I was an orphan who was later adopted by a merchant, then a few years later joined the academy. Specialty is nothing much. I'm just good with daggers. My affinity is Mist Element, and my rank is the same as Miss Bonnie. As for the entrance exam, I ranked 66th."

When the others heard about Cobert's past, they didn't care about his previous rude behaviour of yawning at their face and just thought that the poor guy must have his own difficulties.

Luis, on the other hand, had a different reaction. The more he heard about him, the stranger he felt. 'Good with daggers… Mist Element… Garzha Town… Adoption. Isn't that?! No! I must confirm it later!'

There were many thoughts in his mind, but he didn't let them show on his face. If what he thought was right, then he didn't want to alert him. Not that his Performer Talent was so easy to see through.

"Guess the next is me," the huge macho-looking guy said. "My name is William Park. I am from Lipose town, in the central region of the Aiverson Empire. Which is specialized for its variety of tea brands and plantations. I have a talent for shieldsmanship, and my affinity is with the Water Element. I ranked 92nd in the entrance exam."

If only William had a buzz cut, Luis would have thought of him as Ben's little brother. 'Speaking of him, I wonder what his progress is with Diana. Last time, he told me he was binging through a lot of romantic movies in his free time so that he could learn a thing or two.'

When he thought about it, Luis couldn't help but shake his head in amusement. 'I just don't know what kind of romantic things he can learn from those cringy movies.'

He turned to focus on the cold elven girl, who was about to introduce herself.

"My name is Sufi Dengza. I'm from Esperia Kingdom. Ranked 21st in the entrance exam. I have an affinity with Fire element and I'm good with large-scale magic. My father is a prominent wizard in the Esperia Kingdom." Sufi introduced herself with an indifferent expression, giving the impression of an aloof girl.

Luis observed her with a serious expression, already guessing her father's identity from her surname. 'Can someone tell her about the breadcrumb on her face? It's getting hard for me to concentrate on the serious stuff.'

"Oh! Sufi! There's something stuck at the corner of your mouth!"

'Good job, Bonnie! I'll treat you to a chocolate later.' Luis praised her in his mind.

Sufi became stunned hearing Bonnie's words. Then, with a flustered expression, she wiped her mouth with a tissue and returned to her aloof self.

However, it was too late to save her image. As everyone already knew, she was just a clumsy girl acting under her aloof persona.

'This team is interesting.' Luis thought as he noticed that all the eyes were now looking in his direction.

"It looks like I'm the only one left," Luis said with a faint smile and started introducing himself.

"My name is Luis Suarez. I'm from Tryston City in the northern region of the Aiverson Empire. My father is a businessman, and my mother is a housewife. Somehow, I was lucky enough to rank 1st in the entrance exam. I am a lightning element user. Not good with any weapons, so I make do with a customized desert eagle pistol."

"Oh yeah! My accuracy is very good. In battles, I'm good with crowd control and tactics. Hence, I would like to appoint myself to the role of commander in our team. Also, I'm just a five-star E-Rank."

He sounded very humble, then warned with a serious expression.

"I have a beautiful fiancée who is obsessed with me. So, give up if you have any thoughts about my handsome face."

With a handsome smile, he ended his introduction.

"That's all."

"…" (x4 Speechless)
