Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 113  Core Targets!

Time passed by as Luis was focused on watching the performance of the core targets at the test. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Starting with Rura Wayne. Her performance wasn't much different from what he expected. He had already watched her encounter with Thomas. So he was certain that there wasn't much change in their relationship from what he remembers.

'She is ranked seventh, huh?'

This was surprising because even in the game, she always got that rank by default. Luis had expected there to be a change in her rank because of his interference, but it seems there's not.

One thing that was different with her is that she didn't encounter Alex because he was eliminated by him early. So they were still strangers.

In the game, the test ranking decides which route the player is going to take. If the player survives till the end, the first heroine, Rura Wayne's storyline, will be unlocked and they will have their first encounter in the test.

But if the player doesn't manage to get an S rating or have a chance encounter with the heroines in the test. He will need to complete other quests to create a chance encounter with heroines and unlock their routes.

As Luis thought about these details, he started remembering his days in the hospital bed and how hard he and Mark tried to get the S rating to unlock Rura's route and use the Academy privileges.

'When I played the game, it took me more than 30 tries to rank first. And now, hehe.'

'As expected of me, I am awesome.' Luis thought narcissistically then a sad smile appeared on his face.

'It's just that I am not as happy now as I was then for this achievement.'

Shaking his head to remove these thoughts out of his head, Luis focused on the other core targets.

Seraphina Evansville. Ranked third. Chopped most of her enemies with her sword combined with her wood element. She was eliminated after being surrounded by monsters.

'Hmm, so even Alicia didn't encounter her.'

Luis then focused on the next core target. Someone he thought of making contact with before but stopped because of her bad mood.

Diana Tres, she ranked fifth. In the entire test, she crushed her opponents with her fists. But more than candidates, she enjoyed fighting with the monsters.

'She sure is wild!'

Luis knew she was a little troublesome. But once he gets her as his subordinate, he will get a good thug and, because of her straightforward nature, he doesn't have to worry about playing mind games with her.

'I want to see if I can learn some techniques from her Jungle Karate.'

He was thoughtful, then he nodded his head and decided.

'Well, let's take a look at it later.'

Emily Steve, fourth rank, Luis was surprised that she survived this long.

'She sure has good luck.'

Then in a security cam recording, he saw her looking at the ranking board with an elf near her.

'Is that her Royal Guard? So he must have also been present at the time of the ice cream shop encounter.'

'Since he didn't attack me even after I disrespected their princess, did he know my identity?'

Although at that time, Luis was still very careful around her. But thinking that her guard had been staring at him made him wary.

'Even if I have protection artifacts that Mom gave me and the shadow that Dad had assigned to protect me from afar. I should still think about some other protective measures.'

Moreover, after the academy starts, they will not get to have any bodyguards with them. Luis isn't much worried because of his Spatial Magic, but he is concerned about Alicia's protection.

'I should find some perks for her for life-threatening situations.'

He wants her to become stronger, not die, alright. She is his fiance and the girl he is starting to fall in love with.

'Okay, next is Ursula Aiberson.'

'Ranked Ninth, hmm. More than I expected.'

'She seems quite worried about Thomas. Well, that's what to be expected after the help I gave him.'

'Speaking of Thomas. His ranking number is quite interesting, 555th rank.'

'Unlike the game where Thomas is always in the top three. This time, the poor guy didn't even manage to get in the top 500. He must be pissed off.'

'I wonder, what kind of reaction will he have in front of Rura? Will he be ashamed? Probably.'

'Hehe, it will be fun to see.'

Thomas was eliminated early, so he didn't get to show off in the test. As for after the test, he has been in denial. Sometimes depressed and sometimes irritated.

'He isn't having a mental breakdown, right?'

'If he does, I am sure Rura will be the happiest.'

After watching Thomas' depressed face for some time. Luis turned on the next core target.

Markeith Evansville, Seraphina's brother, was Thomas' subordinate in the game. He ranked eighth in the test and all his fights were him torturing the weak candidates.

'I don't like this guy. He better not trouble me in the future.'

After watching his information and the videos, Luis was certain. He was the same as in the game.

'This time he didn't get to meet Thomas and Thomas' ranking is also very low.'

'I don't know if he will follow the original story or not?'

'Well, let's wait and see.'

Thinking of this, Luis then focused on the next core target. Sera Dennis.

'She ranked 16th and was defeated under the hands of Alicia. That's interesting.'

After looking at the data, Luis started watching her performance. But this time, things differed from the other core targets.

A frown appeared on his face and the more he watched, the deeper his frown became.

"Just what is going on with her?"

Sera's performance was quite better than he expected. But then he saw her encounter with Alicia.

'Why is talking so friendly with Alicia?'

'I don't remember her being on talking terms with Alicia.'

But what made Luis happy was that Alicia adhered to his words and tried being friendly with Sera.
