Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 143  Mission?!

*Knock*

Luis knocked on the door of Professor Olivia's office and called out. "Professor Olivia?!" After waiting a few seconds, a lazy voice sounded from inside.

"Come in, it's not locked."

Taken aback by the unexpected tone of her response. When the three of them entered her office. They saw Olivia resting on a recliner chair while reading a book.

"So, you are here. Huh? Even number 2 is here." Olivia said as she looked at Alicia with some surprise.

Alicia felt displeased, being referred to as number two. Her opinion of Professor Olivia turned unfavorable. However, she didn't express it and quietly observed her with a neutral expression.

She also made sure that she was close to Luis. So that he can teleport with her if Olivia tries to do something suspicious or shows even a hint of hostility.

"Well, you are welcome to join them in," Olivia said with a smile that made Alicia furrow her brows.

"Professor, what punishment are you going to give us?" Diana asked with some worry.

When she heard her question, Olivia's smiling face changed to a serious one. "The punishment I am going to implore on the three of you is to go on a mission with me."

'Mission?' Luis showed an interested expression, wondering what kind of mission it was.

He didn't need to ask, as Diana asked first.

"What mission, Professor?"

"For now, I can only tell that we are going to the Temar Kingdom and will leave within 2 hours. So, make your preparations fast." Olivia said while closing her book.

"What?!"

Diana exclaimed in surprise. While Luis and Alicia looked at Olivia with thoughtful expressions.

"Professor, what about tomorrow's class if we go on a mission tonight?" Luis asked, as he observed Olivia's expression with scrutiny.

"It's fine. I'm your class instructor, remember? Anyway, tomorrow also will just be introductory classes. You won't miss out on anything important. If you have difficulty choosing subjects, I will help." Olivia said with a shrug. Then added.

"Complete your preparations and meet me at the gate of the library within 2 hours."

The three of them nodded in understanding and immediately left Olivia's office. Their fast response and no repulsion towards a sudden mission forced on them made Olivia very satisfied.

"Let's see how you guys will perform."

Olivia mumbled as she looked at the photo frame on her work desk. It was a photo of her, along with a blue-haired little boy showing his non-existent biceps. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Olivia's gaze remained fixed on that photo, the room fell into a serene silence. The beautiful professor became lost in thought, reminiscing.

Back at the dorm inside Luis' room. Alicia asked with a frown.

"Luis, do you know what the professor is trying to pull off here? Why the sudden mission?"

"It's probably a test."

"What for?"

"Maybe selecting students for her direct guidance."

"Hmm, if it's that, then it might be possible," Alicia mumbled with a thoughtful expression.

"Well, don't worry too much about it. Let's just see what kind of mission she is going to take us for. Isn't it your first time going to another country?"

"Yes, it is."

"So, think of it as a small trip. If something goes wrong, then we can just escape."

With Luis' assurance, Alicia stopped thinking about it and focused on preparing for the mission. Though, their preparations were just their battle suits and weapons. They kept all the other things inside Luis' pocket space in case of unexpected situations. So, there wasn't a need for much preparation.

As Luis saw, there were still over one and a half hours left before the meeting time. He started to tell Alicia about his encounter with Rura and his plans regarding her. Of course, there was no mention of Multiplier Potion. Everything was to have a friendly relationship with her and get those dungeons from the Wayne family.

When he described his conversation with Rura. At first, Alicia was a little annoyed, but with his assurance, she felt better. She was speechless when he told her how he used Thomas to lower Rura's wariness towards them.

"You know Luis. If I didn't know better, I would have thought of you as some sort of manipulative villain."

"Hey, don't make me sound like some bad guy, okay?"

"Or else? For those dungeons. You are going to such lengths. Is it even necessary?"

"…" Luis went silent because he knew what Alicia said wasn't wrong, either. If it's just those dungeons, there are many ways to make a deal with them. There is no need to go in such a roundabout way.

*Sigh*

Luis sighed and said, "Okay, I admit. It's not just those dungeons. I want her to be my subordinate."

Alicia remained silent as she expressionlessly stared at him, waiting for him to continue.

"She has an S-grade talent in Alchemy and in the future, she is going to become the number one Alchemist of Alnaur. The Aiverson Royal Family supports the Wayne family. If nothing unexpected happens, then Rura is bound to work for them. That is why I want to get her on our side first and support us instead of helping our enemy gain more strength."

Luis tried to explain everything patiently without revealing too much information. Just enough to make it sound reasonable.

After a few seconds of pause, Alicia asked. "… Is she that good?"

"She is."

Luis nodded undeniably. Rura is one of the three people whom he knows about having an S-grade talent in Alchemy. The other two's whereabouts are unknown, and they are difficult to deal with. As for Rura, he knows a lot about her and is confident to get her to ensure loyalty.

"You don't have any other ulterior thoughts about her?" Alicia asked with a flat expression.

"No, I don't. I just want her to work for me." Luis said sincerely.

A few seconds later, Alicia sighed helplessly.

"… Okay, I trust you, Luis. If you want me to be her friend, then I will. Tell me what must I do."
