Chapter 9 Meeting Lia Again...
Chapter 9 Meeting Lia Again...
After helping Lia, Rio left that place and headed to the place where the protagonist should be completing his hidden mission. Yeah, Fade got that fruit by completing a hidden mission in this dungeon. It's a mission you will get if you enter the desert area. In the middle of the desert area, you can trigger that mission by standing near the lake. Yeah, a lake in the middle of the desert.
'Well since this is a plot hole, it can't surprise me much.'
For getting that fruit you have to reach the middle of the lake which is protected by a D rank monster. How did Fade get that fruit when there's a monster of D-rank? Oh, come on, just shut down your brain for a while and start thinking with your knees for a few seconds, you will be able to understand how he got it.
There were some people who came before Fade near that lake and got attacked by that monster and Fade got the fruit amidst all this then other students started to pursue him and got face slapped by him.
At the end that D rank monster was left there without any care in the world. I am going there to test my sword on that monster.
After 15 minutes of running at full speed, Reo was already standing near that place behind a huge stone. Observing all the plot happening in front of him as written in the novel. After Fade ran away with the fruit all the students ran after him and the Snake shaped monster was left alone it stood there for a few min continuously looking in the direction the students left but it did not chase.
'Hmm, so it's true that D-rank and above monsters generally don't leave their territory.'
Then Rio left his hiding place and walked towards the monster. The monster instantly got wary. Unlike other monsters, it didn't rush to fight because it can sense the aura of a D-rank. Unlike humans, monsters are sensitive to the aura of other creatures. Rio did not delay anymore and unleashed a sword slash on the snake. The attack causes a huge wound on its head but it did not die but just got wounded.
'Hmm, looks like pure strength cannot kill D rank monsters in one strike, I should train more after going back.'
Seemingly frightened the snake tried to escape, but with another slash, Rio sliced its head off before it can even move. Then without waiting he left the place and after 5 min he found a stone, he sat on it and started to meditate. The mana density inside the dungeons is high so he just spent the rest of the time meditating.
After a while, a white light covered him and teleported outside of the dungeon. There were few students here compared to the number of students who entered the dungeon.
"Good work, everyone we have recorded your kill count through your wrist clock so the results will be released in a few days until then you can rest. The students who got injured or fainted have been taken to the healer's office. You can leave now."
'Let's head back, it's good that I didn't reveal my strength, the teachers can only figure out the kill no or the health of the students through the wrist clocks but they can't see the process. So, I can ignore being seen easily.'
After a while, Rio was already in his room. He changed his clothes, took a bath, and laid down to sleep. Next morning when Rio was training in the gravitational training room an uninvited guest visited him.
Now Rio and Lia were inside a small café and sitting in front of each other. While Rio was just sipping his tea, Lia was staring daggers into his face.
"Say, what do you want in exchange for saving me." (Lia)
"Transfer money to my account" (Rio spoke in a calm tone)
"Don't you need anything else?" (Lia)
"If you are unsatisfied then transfer even more money in my account." (Rio)
"O-Okay then." (Lia)
After saying that Lia left her seat and walked away. Rio continued to sip his tea until the bill was given to him.
'Damn it! She didn't pay for her tea'
Rio left the café and started to head back while taking a stroll.
'If I remember correctly Lia's personality was a tsundere type.'
Lia is actually the only daughter of an S rank Awakener. Her father is the guild master of the guild name Silver Shadow. It's the second strongest guild in the world several S rankers work in that guild. Lia's father is the strongest S rank in that guild.
The first guild is obviously belonging to Link's father, who is SS ranked.
'But it won't be a bad choice to join her guild in the future, I can stay there until I become SS rank myself, I don't want to get entangled with that Link's guild.'
Not to mention that bastard will cause trouble for me, he will also end up getting killed by Fade together with his guild. Although I don't care about Fade it's better to let Fade end that villain himself, it will help him in developing his strength.
'But if Fade really tried to go as far as becoming an enemy of mine, I won't mind destroying him and his system both myself.'
There's no absolute in this world, as long as you have enough strength you can do anything you want.
'Now it's time I look for that thing which will help me block Fade's appraisal. It's time to start the second round of stealing protagonists' chances.'
