Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 187: Ronald's Call!



Once again, Luis found himself on a similar grassy battlefield. This time, his opponent was Level 6, with a 46.7%-win rate.

Not bothering to waste time this time around as soon as the match started, Luis burst out his power to attack his opponent.

"Mud Spike!"

Upon seeing Luis' aggressiveness, the opponent used his spell at him and tried to halt his actions.

With the use of his Enhanced Instinct, Luis predicted the attacks' trajectory and dodged them with nimble movements.

Then, after closing the distance between them, he punched out, striking at the opponent's jaw.

*Thwack! *

[Challenger 'The God of Charm' has defeated Challenger 'Gecko'.]

[Time Taken: 06 seconds.]

"Huh? That's it? He didn't even survive one punch." Luis knit his brows in confusion. "No, this isn't right. From what I know. There are some powerful students in the second and third years. So, why am I encountering these weak ones when I have challenged the Insane difficulty?"

After finding himself back in the black space, he challenged the ranking matches again.

His third match.

Level 5 opponent, time taken, 5 seconds.

Fourth match.

Level 6 opponent, time taken, 8 seconds.

Fifth...

...

Sixth...

...

Just like that, Luis had already won 10 matches in a row. However, he wasn't happy. Because he has yet to encounter any decent opponent who can make him use his element or spells.

"Are the top students from the second and third year offline? Your handsome junior wants to receive your teachings."

Luis' opponents in the next 4 matches also turned out to be average, as they all lost within 10 seconds. Which disappointed him.

"I should end it for today. Let's hope I encounter powerful opponents tomorrow." Heaving a sigh, Luis exited the virtual space and found his vision back inside the VR capsules.

His current statistics in the ranking matches are.

[Avatar Name: The God of Charm]

[Level: 02]

[Win Rate: 100%]

[Consecutive Wins: 14]

***

When Luis got out of the VR capsule. He only found a staff nearby and after he inquired, it turned out Alicia's hadn't come out yet.

'Guess she will take time. I should go back first.' Thinking so, Luis tapped on his mana bracelet. "Lily, inform Alicia that I have left once she comes out."

{Okay, Master.}

"Hmm," Luis stared at the VR capsules with a thoughtful expression. 'Should I just hack into it to communicate with Alicia?'

As soon as those thoughts crossed his mind. Luis dismissed it. 'No, if I get caught. There will be a lot of unnecessary troubles and they might even ban me. Let's not hack it, not until I have received those rewards.'

Luis shook his head and left the battle arena building, moving towards the academy.

However, on his way, he came across some familiar people and a scene that piqued his interest.

'Alex, Sera and those two idiots. Hehe, interesting.'

Luis took cover and hid his presence using the Stealth spell he had learned. In his sight were the figures of Alex and Sera, chatting and walking together. Completely unaware that behind them, about 25 meters away, two men were tailing them.

'Hmm, so it seems their target is still Alex. From the look of things, if nothing unexpected happens, the month-end incident will follow the game's route.'

Reassured, Luis was about to leave. When something unexpected happened, making him frown.

Sera, who was smiling and chatting with Alex, turned around and dashed towards the two followers and confronted them.

"Hello, may I inquire about your identity and the reason for following us?" Sera asked, her tone direct and unwavering.

At her question, those two men were stunned, not expecting to be discovered by the other party. The confused Alex, who came after Sera, turned to look at the two men with cautiousness.

Upon seeing that the situation was getting worse, the two of them recomposed themselves. The pale-faced, thin man stepped forward with a smile, showing his kindness.

Unfortunately, his smile creeped out Sera and Alex, as they both took a step back, taking on defensive stances.

The man became a little embarrassed as he raised his hands and explained.

"You have misunderstood us, students. We are just the staff working with the academy's management. We have no ill intentions towards you."

They also took out their identity cards to prove their words.

"Frank Blaze and Rover Rick." Sera read their names with a flat expression. "Why were you tailing us?"

Rover answered without hesitation. "Our task was to collect the data about the daily private schedules of the top 20 fresher students. That's why we followed you. The reason for doing it hasn't been told to us, so there's no point inquiring about it."

With his decisive words, he blamed everything on the academy, leaving no room for Sera to question them further.

Alex became relieved, and his caution around them decreased. However, Sera kept staring at them in silence.

Rover also noticed that Sera was still doubting them, but he didn't care. Because he could see that his target had already believed his words. He looked at Alex and spoke. "Student, now that you have found us out. There's no point in following you to get the data. Can you just answer our few questions?"

Alex thought for a moment and nodded. "Of course, no problem." Since they were from the academy, he had no reason not to trust them.

A grin appeared on Rover's face. Upon seeing how easily the task was going to be completed. He was going to ask Alex to follow him. However, at that moment. Sera grabbed Alex's arm and said with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, but the two of us are going on a date. So, we don't have time to answer your questions right now. Why don't you go collect the data from the other students first? We can make an appointment later to answer your questions."

Without waiting for a response, she force-pulled Alex to leave with her. Alex, who had just heard that they were going on a date, became excited and forgot about other things, letting himself get dragged by her.

Rover stood still in place for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and turned around. "Let's retreat."

Frank looked at the backs of Sera and Alex with a fierce expression, but then left after Rover without speaking a word.

---

Luis watched the entire scene with a neutral expression on his face. He glanced in the direction where Sera and Alex had left.

'I should have expected this variable.'

He turned around to leave.

"Lily."

{The button drones are already monitoring their actions, Master.}

"Hmm, good job. If something happens on either side, remind me."

{Aye~ Aye~ Sir!}

Luis smiled at her playful salute while thinking in his mind. 'I must let Alicia hasten up her contacts with Sera. No matter what, I must find the reason behind her changes.'

***

After he returned to the dorm, Luis played with Ivy under 9 times gravitational pressure and waited for Alicia's return.

*Beep*

{Master, Dad is calling!}

"Huh?" Luis let out a surprised sound, then said. "Receive the call."

The next second, the hologram of Ronald's face appeared in front of them.

"Hi, Dad!" Luis waved his hand.

[Son, why don't you bother to call us since you left for the academy?] Ronald asked with a sad face. His expression looked very heartbreaking.

Luis rolled his eyes at his pretence and complained. "It's only been a few days, so stop acting."

[It's not acting, okay? I am genuinely concerned about your affairs.]

At his words, Luis felt warm in his heart, thinking that he was lucky to have such a great family.

However, he couldn't be emotional for long when he heard Ronald's next words.

[Lumine can get the details from Alicia, but she doesn't share it with me. So, I can only ask you. Tell me how far you have gone with my daughter-in-law?] Ronald asked with a serious expression.

"..." Luis pressed his lips and gave Ronald a blank stare. "If this is what you have called me for, then I'm hanging up. I must go train."

[Hey! Wait! Wait! This is what David wanted to know. I just asked on his behalf. He is worried that you two might do something, now that you are alone together.]

"Do you take me for a fool, Dad?" Luis asked with a speechless expression.

[Uh... Damn! Your Performer Talent!] Ronald cursed with an annoyed expression. Then he sighed and asked. [Can't you just tell me when I can see my grandchild?]

"Not until I am strong enough to protect them," Luis said with a calm expression, but Ronald could feel the unwavering determination behind his words.

[...]

Ronald wanted to say that Luis shouldn't worry about the security and that he would protect them. However, those words couldn't come out of his mouth when he remembered Luis' assassination incident. He had failed to protect him once. Where can he have the confidence to make any claims?

"Okay, that's enough for other talks. Now, can you tell me your real reason to call me Dad?"

A wry expression appeared on Ronald's face at how easily his son saw through him.

[Although, I wanted to call you before. I was a little busy.]

"I know, Dad."

[You brat *Sigh* Well, this is about your deeds in the Temar Kingdom.]
