Conquering The Game's World

After hearing Luis' introduction, all the members of Team 3 gave him a blank stare. Although it's fine to be humble, his words were more like showing off. Which ticked them off.

They all knew about him, so what he said wasn't a lie, but it wasn't the complete truth, either.

Bonnie rubbed her little head and spoke. "A businessman dad and a housewife mom… Yeah, it's true… However, can you please not forget to mention their identity of Overlord ranks?"

Luis waved his hand. "Small matters."

'No, it's not!' The four of them almost screamed at the same time.

Upon noticing that everyone was getting irritated because of Luis' words. Cobert sighed and said with a listless expression. "Since introductions are over, can we start the discussion? I want to return early and sleep… *yawn*…"

"Good idea," Bonnie said with a smile, calming down her agitation.

"Hmm." Sufi hummed as she glanced at the narcissist in front of her with disgust.

William, who was giving awkward glances at Luis, also nodded, agreeing with him. Cobert noticed this, which made him think. 'Could it be that he also wanted the commander role? Too bad… With Luis here and his previous statement. It would be very difficult to grab that position from him now.'

Luis also noticed the changes in William's expression, but he didn't care about him and was more interested in the listless Cobert. 'The more I look at him. The more certain I become of my previous guess. All that's left now is to confirm it later.'

"Mr. Luis…"

Luis cut off Cobert's words.

"Just call me Luis. There's no need to be formal with me, and that goes for everyone here. I hope you all don't mind if I am casual with everyone here for easier communication."

"If fine by me, I also found this formal atmosphere weird," Bonnie said as her previous rigid expression relaxed somewhat.

Sufi hesitated, but also nodded in the end. William was still a little unwilling that no one said anything about Luis declaring his choice of role without everyone's consent. However, he forgot the fact that he, too, was quiet about it.

"Whatever suits everyone best." William didn't care about the formalities, either.

As for Cobert, he was too lazy to mind this stuff.

"Okay then, Lu *yawn* is…"

Luis' lips twitched. "Can you please not yawn while speaking someone's name? That's rude."

"I apologize," Cobert said without sincerity and continued. "I wanted to say that since you are going to take on the commander role. Can you please lead the discussion?"

"Well, of course. That's what I had in mind in the first place." Luis said with a confident smile. "I presume everyone here has already read the rules and information regarding the Dungeon Rush."

After seeing them all nod, he continued. "Then I guess everyone's aware, this test is not a stage for solo performance, but rather a team play. So, I hope you all can act and perform while keeping the team's interest in mind."

The listless Cobert rolled his eyes at his statement. Too lazy to even bother to comment on it. Though, of course, not everyone was lazy like him.

"Aren't you the most likely person here who would try to act alone?" Sufi said with a scoff.

Luis glanced at her for a moment, then shifted his attention to everyone and spoke.

"To act as a team, the first thing we need to be clear about are the roles that everyone's choosing. Please give me your suggestion about the position you find yourself comfortable in."

There was silence for a few seconds as no one answered him and they all turned to look at Sufi, whose face was beet red in embarrassment.

Yes, Luis ignored her.

"I want to be Vanguard!" Bonnie said while raising her hand.

William glanced at Luis and said, "With my shieldsmanship talent, I also believe I'm more suitable for the Vanguard role."

He wanted the Commander role, but no one said anything about Luis' declaration until now. William understood it was already a done deal. Now he can't grab that role, so he can only opt for the second-best position, to him, which is Vanguard. But here, too, it seemed like he was going to be competing with someone else for this role.

"No, you take some other role!" Bonnie said, dissatisfied. "I will smash all the monsters with my hammer. I won't let any of them get close." She assured, waving her fist with a confident expression.

"I find it hard to believe. Who knows if the monsters will jump over you and reach us?" William mocked her. 'I can't deal with Luis. But who do you think you are, little girl?' He thought with arrogance. Due to his unwillingness from before, he was going to vent his frustrations on her.

Bonnie became furious. "How dare you look down on Dwarves!!!" If he had said anything about her personally, she wouldn't have cared much and let it go as a joke.

However, for the dwarves, mocking them about their short height is the biggest insult anyone could ever make. They take pride over their short height and high intelligence. This isn't something for another species to comment on and laugh about.

William didn't care about how rude he was. Not only to her, but to the entire dwarven race if his statement gets out.

The ignorant William smirked and continued mocking her further. "If I don't look down, then how will I look at you? After all, you are so short."

"You!!!" Bonnie raised her finger at him, barely containing her anger. This guy was getting on her nerves.

"What? Did I say anything wrong?" He incited her anger further.

"ENOUGH!" Luis' deep voice sounded, silencing them both.

Cobert was taken aback by the momentum displayed by Luis, and his listless eyes narrowed. 'I was mistaken. I need to re-evaluate him. He isn't some arrogant second generation who pretends to be nice and likes to show off. He is much more than what he shows…'

He continued staring at Luis, as his lazy eyes glinted. 'Most of all… he is dangerous…'

Because of his mask of listlessness, no one noticed the changes in his expressions. Of course, except Luis, who is the best performer here. Cobert's level of acting is still far from that level where Luis can't see through.

'Heh, this guy is interesting. However, let's deal with him later.'

"Luis, but this guy!" Bonnie was fuming with anger as she pointed her finger at William.

Luis raised his palm, gesturing for her to stop speaking. "I know, but think about it. We are in a public place. You don't want to affect the ordinary people here, right? After all, they aren't at fault here."

When she heard this, Bonnie looked around at the ordinary café staff, who were also glancing in her direction. Her anger calmed down a little as she contemplated his words.

Luis saw this change in her, and it made him smile as he added further. "How sad it would be if such a cozy little café gets damaged because of your impulsiveness, right?"

He also thought. 'I haven't brought Alicia here yet. How can I let this café get destroyed?'

'Besides, the coffee here is too good.' He glanced at the empty cup in front of him, then at the barista, and made a firm decision in his mind. 'Even if this academy gets destroyed. I won't let anything happen to this Little Camel Café.'

At this moment, the café owner had no idea. That his coffee brewing skills have helped him secure the support of the biggest future backer this world can offer.

"I understand, Luis, but I can't let it go!" Bonnie's expression was calm but her eyes staring at William were deadly.

"I know, Bonnie." Luis nodded with a neutral expression. Then his eyes shifted to William, and his expression became serious. "As for you, William. If you want to make a suicide statement. Can you please do that after the exam? Or else we might have to take part in the exam with only four members."

He made a request, but his tone was calm and chilling, full of indifference. Which sent shudders down William's spine.

"What are you talking about?! What do you mean by suicide statement?!"

At this moment, Sufi whose embarrassment has subsided by now also spoke up in surprise.

"What? Was he truly oblivious? I was just wondering where he got the guts to make those comments."

She shook her head looking at William with disdain.

William, who was already having a bad premonition in his heart because of Luis' statement, started panicking when he heard Sufi's words.

"CAN ANYONE ANSWER ME ALREADY?!"

"Just shut up for a second... Your voice will burst my eardrums..." Cobert covered his ears in irritation and murmured in annoyance. "*Sigh* My drowsiness has disappeared now I won't be able to sleep properly."

"Cobert, do you know what they are talking about?" asked William.
