Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 225: Sad News!

"Tsk! No wonder he wanted to rape Bonnie along with his brother." Luis snorted with disgust.

Just now he was sorting out the things he had collected from Karlos' mana bracelet when he found the mystery box from before and opened it.

What came into his sight was a book titled 'My Treasured Collection'. Curious, he opened it and regretted his actions the next moment.

It contained hundreds of photos of little girls from different species in swimsuits and loose dresses.

On Luis' fingers, lightning flickered, and, with a flat expression, he burned that book.

*Sigh*

'Ruined my entire mood. Maybe I should go to Alicia and ask for some comfort.'

Then, without hesitation, Luis put his thoughts into action and left the pocket space.

***

The night went by in a flash, and it was already the day of the 'Dungeon Rush' test for the first-year students.

Olivia had asked the students of her class to gather in the classroom 2 hours before the test.

"It seems you all are well prepared for the exam."

"YES PROFESSOR!" The crowd replied in unison.

Olivia nodded in satisfaction when she saw the students in battle suits and the aura of confidence they were emitting.

However, when she remembered what happened yesterday and the deeds of one of her students. She couldn't help but feel sad. Taking a deep breath, she started speaking.

"You may all feel confused as to why I have called you all here before the exam."

The students were silent, obviously curious about the reason for being summoned here. They didn't believe Olivia would call them here right before the test if it wasn't for an important matter.

"Yesterday, one of your classmates met with an unfortunate accident and died."

As soon as her words fell, the classroom fell into an eerie silence for a few seconds before there was an uproar.

"What? How?"

"Are you serious, Professor?"

"Guys, William seems to be absent. Could it be him?" Someone among the students reminded and sure enough, they heard Olivia continue.

"Yes, it's the student William Park."

Her voice was deep. She was a little disgusted when she mentioned his name, but no one seemed to have noticed it.

"How did this happen, Professor?"

"Yeah, what kind of accident was it?"

Many students were familiar with William, and the sad news of his sudden death affected them a bit.

"Renting a boat, he left the waters of the Oracle Academy. However, his boat was capsized because of a sea monster and even his body was not found." Olivia gave a nonsense excuse she thought of on the way here.

This answer stunned the students.

"Where was he going?" One of the students asked what was in the mind of several students.

"We are still investigating." Olivia gave a vague response and didn't intend to talk about it further.

As she was standing on the podium, facing the students. She could see all their reactions. Shock, surprise, fear, disbelief, sad, indifferent. Only the reaction of the members of Team 3 was different.

Bonnie and Sufi were disgusted. Cobert was listless, as always. Luis wasn't even paying attention to her words; he was busy flirting with Alicia.

'Sigh, this guy.' Olivia was annoyed and sighed helplessly. 'Can you please stop ignoring my words so blatantly?'

Luis seemed to have noticed her piercing gaze, as he turned to look at her and gave a sarcastic smile.

A wry expression appeared on Olivia's face as she understood the implication behind his sarcastic smile. She knew it was because the academy was trying to cover up this matter, but she was also helpless.

At least, she already had a talk with the victim (Bonnie), who agreed to not publicize this matter in exchange for extra resources from the academy. So, there was not much feeling of guilt when she lied.

"Let's talk about the exam. Since William is not with us anymore and everyone already has a team, they were assigned to. Team 3 now lacks a member."

When she said that, her eyes were on the members of Team 3, who were also looking back at her.

"Professor, is there a problem if we participate with just the four of us?" It was Luis, who asked. As per the rules, there will be a deduction of points for having fewer members, but an accident happened. So, he wondered if the rules could be bent a little.

"I was getting to that point. Although it's unfortunate, the points would still be deducted for the lack of members."

"Pity." Luis sighed while wondering. 'I'm curious what kind of expression everyone will have if I bring out William now?'

'Hehe, Professor Olivia will be embarrassed for sure.'

But of course, he didn't plan to release him. It was just a momentary thought. He

"What about the points for the role he planned to do?"

"That I wanted to discuss with Team 3. The only advice and help I can give you is to let one person play two roles in the team. If Team 3 doesn't find it acceptable, then there's no need to do it. You can just forget about those points."

"No, it's fine Professor. We accept." Luis said while giving the other members a look. They also nodded and agreed. "We also agree!"

"Alright! Since that's over! Then I want everyone to come here and collect these badges from me."

Olivia took out a box full of yellow round badges and started distributing them.

"These badges are the protective measures prepared by the academy."

"As long as it's yellow, there's no problem. Orange means you are at risk of elimination, but you can continue with the exam. Red means direct elimination. It will mostly happen when your life is at risk. Once you are eliminated, a protective shield will appear around you and notify us. Then you will be escorted out by the examiners."

Everyone was already aware of the importance of these badges, as the members of Maki's faction had found this information from the seniors and shared it with everyone. However, Olivia's reminder still assured them.
