Conquering The Game's World

"Ooh~ He hit a sore spot."

Luis chuckled.

"Aren't you the one responsible for it?" Alicia said, rolling her eyes.

"It's fine." Luis waved his hand and picked up the snack to munch on it. "Thomas doesn't blame me anymore. Don't you remember? He called me his good friend."

Alicia gave him a blank look, then shook her head.

"They have caused such a big commotion. The academy guards must have been alerted by now."

When Luis heard this, an evil smirk appeared on his face. "They are probably going to be detained. I wonder what their punishment will be."

***

Things proceeded, just like Luis expected. Alex and Thomas were in the middle of their weapon fight when the academy guards came to stop them.

Blood wounds and scorched marks covered their entire bodies, showing how fierce their fight had been. If not for them being stopped, one of them was probably going to die today.

As Alex barely had any mana left, he couldn't use his Holy Flame to recover from his injuries. So, his state wasn't much better than Thomas.

However, since Thomas took a high-grade recovery potion, he recovered in no time. As for Alex, he didn't have such expensive elixirs, so he could only wait for his mana to recover.

Regardless of the excuses and various explanations, they tried to make up. The academy guards detained them and took them to get punished later.

When the video ended, Luis had a satisfied expression on his face.

"They didn't disappoint me, a drama about two guys fighting for their love interest. Oh~ So touching~"

Alicia also chuckled.

"It would have been more interesting if Rura was here to see this video with us. I would've loved to see her reaction."

When Alicia said this, Luis also thought that it might be interesting. However, he soon shook that thought out of his mind. "Let's forget it for now."

"Anyway, Alicia. How were your teammates?" Luis asked, diverting the topic.

Alicia also understood what he was trying to do. Not that she was going to insist on it, anyway. After all, it was just a random thought.

She showed a thoughtful expression and answered his question.

"Fine, I guess. Our team consists of a boy and four girls, including me."

"What a lucky guy…" Luis said in a murmur.

"Hm, did you say something?" Alicia asked, showing a thin smile, which seemed very dangerous in Luis' eyes.

"I'm just stating a general teenage boy's point of view," Luis said, with an uninterested expression. Then, showing an affectionate smile, he continued. "Not that it has anything to do with me. After all, I have such a beautiful wife."

"Hmm, it's good that you are self-aware." Alicia nodded with a stern gaze. Then she blinked her eyes and continued speaking about the previous topic.

"That boy is timid and easily gets scared by the other girls. So, it seemed more like a torture to him, rather than bliss."

"Is that so? Then he must either have some weird problems or else he is pretending." Luis concluded, to which Alicia also nodded in agreement.

"Are they all human?" Luis asked.

"Yeah, Team 5 is an all-human team." Alicia nodded and asked. "What about Team 3?"

Luis was lost in thought for a few seconds, and then he answered. "Well, I have to say my team is full of peculiar people."

"Oh? How so?" Alicia became interested.

"We got a dwarven girl who is quite a cheerful type. She is like a subversion of Diana."

"Ah! Are you talking about Bonnie?"

"You know her?"

"Well, she is friends with Diana, so I got to know her a little at that class party."

"Hm, I see." Luis showed a look of understanding and then continued. "The next girl is an elf. She tries to act cold but is very clumsy. Do you know her? Her name is Sufi Dengza."

"I don't remember." Alicia had no impression of this girl.

"Well, the other two are guys from the Aiverson Empire. One of them is an average guy with an inferiority complex and the other is a genius hiding his true self under a mask of laziness."

For his former sentence, Alicia was just listening with an 'I'm listening' expression. However, when she heard his latter sentence, she knit her brows and looked at him with a serious expression.

"What level of genius?"

This is what she was more curious about. Among their peers, there are many geniuses. Diana, Rura, Thomas, Sera, Alex. They all are geniuses. She, who has 3 S-grade talents and has a rare ice element, used to consider herself one of the top geniuses until she met her fiancé, who was a monster among the geniuses.

She still can't describe the level of shock she received when she found out that Luis was the first dual element user in existence and he also has 5 talents, with four of them being S-grades. (A.N: Alicia doesn't know about Luis' Performer (S) talent yet.)

Which is why when she heard Luis calling someone else a genius. She asked what level of genius he was. If it's just at the level of other geniuses from their peers. It doesn't matter. However, if he was more than that, then she was going to be careful.

Luis didn't know about Alicia's thoughts, as he answered her with a nonchalant expression.

"His level? Well, his current strength is at least above C-rank."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Alicia stood up in shock.

"Are you serious?!"

"Yup."

"Then his strength must be higher than you?!"

"Well, yeah."

"… Unbelievable." Alicia opened her mouth wide in shock.

"Only for the time being, though, soon after, I will surpass him. Besides, I never said that he can defeat me." He said in a casual tone, as if he was stating a fact.

Alicia also didn't doubt him, because she knew her mysterious fiancé has a lot of trump cards under his sleeve.

"So, do you plan to recruit him, too?" Alicia asked with a knowing expression.

"I already did."

"So fast! How?"

Luis grinned and answered. "Of course, with my charisma!"

"…"
