Chapter 174: The Drama!
After purchasing the ice cream of their choice, Luis and Alicia were now on their way back to the dorm.
"Lily, deal with the security cams inside the ice cream shop."
{Should I erase the recordings?}
"No, just remove the audio."
{Okay, Master.}
"Hmm," Luis nodded, then focused on eating the ice cream in his hand.
After their previous conversation, Thomas thanked Luis and left the shop looking quite pissed as he kept murmuring Alex's name.
"He didn't even buy an ice cream. Maybe he just came to get familiar with the menu to invite Rura later." Luis mumbled while shaking his head with a chuckle. He was interested to see if the development between Alex and Thomas would follow the game's plot or not.
'I wonder how Thomas will create trouble for Alex. With my warning, I am sure he will be cautious.' Right when he was musing about this. He heard Alicia say. "I don't understand."
Luis turned to look at the frowning Alicia beside him and smiled. "Eat your ice cream or it will melt."
Alicia's eyes didn't look away from him, and using her ice element, she froze the melting ice cream in her hand. Luis' eyes widened in surprise, then he became envious. 'I wish I had an ice affinity, too.'
Not caring about Luis' expression, Alicia asked her question. "I can understand you had that conversation with 'him' to pressurize 'her'. However, why did you involve the 'second guy'?"
Luis knew she was going to ask this question. After all, he hadn't told her anything about Alex Stain. So, he sighed and gestured towards their surroundings. "We are about to reach the dorm. I will explain once we are back."
"Hmm, good." Alicia nodded, then ate the ice cream with a blissful expression.

On the other side. After separating from Luis and Alicia. Thomas came back to the academy. He canceled his plan to skip classes today and went straight to Class (1-5).
Compared to the elite classes, the design of the classroom of normal classes is straight out ordinary. Even the doors aren't as fancy as the elite classes.
The class instructor of the Class (1-5) was a 5-Star Master Rank. Just a step away from King Rank. When he saw Thomas coming in, his eyes became cold, and he called out his name in a stern voice.
"Student Thomas Aiverson!"
"Yes, sir?" Thomas's steps paused as he looked at the Professor with a confused expression.
Professor's lips twitched. "Don't you know skipping classes without permission will deduct Merit Points?!"
"I know," Thomas admitted. "Here, take it. How many merit points is it?" He raised his left hand and tapped on his mana bracelet.
Professor deadpanned. Then said with a mocking expression. "10,000 Merit Points."
Thomas nodded and sent the merit points. When the professor received the notification on his mana bracelet, he raised his brows with a surprised expression and asked in doubt. "Did you exchange some resources for Merit Points in the exchange centre?"
"So, what if I did? It's not against the rules." Thomas shrugged and made his way towards his seat.
His response made Professor very displeased. However, since Thomas had already used the loophole. He didn't continue to press this matter and left the classroom. His class was over already, and it was now the break time.
Thomas took a seat that was in the middle row. Then called out the name of the scrawny boy sitting beside him. "Sid."
"Yes, Prince?"
"Do you know someone named Alex Stain from Fenrir Class?"
"That silver-haired boy?" Sid raised his brow with a thoughtful expression, then said. "No, I only know that he ranked 19th in the entrance examination."
"I see," Thomas mumbled with a frown.
Seeing Thomas so deep in thought, Sid narrowed his eyes and asked. "Prince, why are you asking about him? Did he offend you?"
Thomas nodded.
Sid's eyes widened, and he suggested with a fawning expression. "Then should we go teach him a lesson?"
Thomas shook his head. "Let's wait for now. That guy doesn't seem to be simple." Luis knows his identity well, and regardless of it, he still cautioned him. Which is why he didn't take Luis' warning lightly.
'No, I can't sit around and do nothing! I should confirm it with my own eyes!' Thomas was anxious at the thought of Alex and Rura getting close to each other and he couldn't calm down.
"Follow me, Sid."
"Where Prince?"
"To the Fenrir Class."
***
Just as Luis and Alicia came back to the flat. Lily's voice sounded.
{Master, the target is on the move. His destination is Fenrir Class.}
"As expected, he couldn't stay still." Luis sneered and tapped on his mana bracelet, opening the message section.
"What are you doing, Luis?" Alicia asked, containing curiosity in her tone.
"Oh, I am sending Rura a message. Just wait and watch. Lily, show us the video feed from the button drone I left on Thomas."
{As you wish.}
They sat on the couch and the next second, a hologram screen appeared in front of them, and they started watching the video feed with interest.
Luis took out a packet of snacks from his Pocket Space and ate it with relish. 'Hehe, now the drama starts!' He felt a nudge on his side, so he turned to look at Alicia, who raised her hand towards him as if asking for something. She was using her other hand to rub Ivy's back.
'Does she?' He nodded in understanding, then flashed a charming smile at her. He grabbed her soft hand, crossed his fingers with hers, and lightly scratched her palm with his thumb.
All his actions were smooth and done in a matter of a second.
Alicia was stunned for a few seconds, then her expression became dark, and she said with an annoyed expression.
"I was asking for snacks!"
"…" The thick-skinned Luis didn't show any embarrassment and nodded with a calm expression. "I know, but since your hands are busy, let me feed you."
Alicia looked at her left hand that was in his grasp and became speechless. 'Is this called being busy?' Though she thought so. She had no complaints and asked in a spoiled manner.
"Then feed me~"
