Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 114  Weird Sera!

"Though the conversation wasn't long, at least she took a step." Luis uttered with a smile while thinking inwardly, 'Since she tried what I asked of her, she deserves a reward. Hmm, but what should I give her?'

Shaking his head, he decided to think about it later and brought his focus back to Sera.

'So anyway, this Sera differs somewhat from what I remembered about her.'

'If it was normal, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to start a conversation with Alicia.'

'But she did and even praised her looks. Which was kind of hard to believe given how she usually acted aloof, not expressing what she felt inside.'

'Even in the game, it was hard to make her open up.'

'She did have a massive change in her personality. But that was after her father died in their third year of the academy.'

'After her father died, her obsession with Alex also went to the extreme.' Just thinking about it, Luis' body shuddered.

…

"Lily, aren't there more videos of her performance?"

Her only highlight in the test was her battle with Alicia and, for the rest of her battle scenes, they were just some weak candidates.

Lily shook her little head and answered, {No master, she didn't get much spotlight from the start and when she did; she was eliminated by Sister Alicia soon after.}

"That's disappointing," Luis mumbled while rubbing his chin.

After a momentary pause, Lily said, {Master, after the test was over, she inquired about your information.}

"Oh?! That's interesting!" Luis raised his left brow and asked curiously, "What kind of information?!"

{Your basic information and identity.}

Hearing this, Luis was thoughtful, 'Is it because I ranked first that I attracted her attention?'

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Was there any contact between her and the core targets?"

{Yes Master, after the test she made contact with the core target, Alex Stain.}

When Luis heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and then a serious frown appeared on his face.

'Sera made contact with Alex? What is going on here?'

{Krocadal's Kitchen.} Lily answered.

"What a weird name." He mumbled.

{The food there is very popular among the students. It's just that the place isn't classy enough.}

"Is that so?" Though curious about the food, he still had an annoyed expression on his face. If the restaurant had some better-quality cameras, he wouldn't have been so troubled and might have found some information from their conversation.

'Sigh, what am I doing, blaming them for?'

'I should complete that project fast, then I wouldn't be so troubled about surveillance.'

...

"By the way, what's Alex's rank?" Luis asked.

{19th.}

"Hmm, not bad I guess."

{If he didn't encounter you. His rank would have been higher.}

"That's his bad luck. How am I at fault?"

{... Right.}

---

After observing a little more information about the core targets. Luis checked the summarized information that Lily had prepared from the rest of the exam. But in the end, he didn't find anything of relevance.

By the time he was done, Luis saw that it was already midnight.

"I better sleep now, or else I might be late for the date tomorrow."

With a slight smile on his face, Luis lay on his bed and some minutes later, fell into a deep sleep.

While inside another room, Alicia was having trouble sleeping.

'Just when will this night end already?'
