Chapter 56: ’Kill the Scumbag!’

Chapter 56: 'Kill the Scumbag!'

More than a month has passed since Luis arrived in this world. His strength has been improving steadily. His daily training under Lumine and combat experience in dungeons made him develop faster. The same can be said for Alicia. Under Lumine's guidance, her swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds.

At the breakfast table.

Lumine, who was eating her breakfast, looked up to see Luis and Alicia, who were eating quietly, and a soft smile appeared on her face. For their growth in the last month, Lumine can only say she was very proud. She was certain by the time the Academy starts, these two will be at the top among their peers. Moreover, with a wide margin.

Finishing her breakfast, she neatly placed the spoon on her plate. Then, gently wiping her mouth with a napkin, she called out, attracting everyone's attention.

"Luis! Alicia!"

"Huh? What is it, Mom?" Luis asked subconsciously.

Alicia also looked at her, but because Luis had already asked, she just showed a puzzled expression.

"You two have been working hard for many weeks and the result is also quite good."

When they heard her praise, a smile appeared on Luis and Alicia's face.

"But excessive hard work is also not good. Your body and mind also need rest. So today will be your rest day."

Hearing this, Ronald, who was reading a dungeon article through the hologram, also nodded in agreement. "Indeed, rest is also important."

For the last few days, Luis had been very busy with practice and dungeon runs. But now that he has a day of rest, maybe he could spend some time studying spells. 'I should read new Lightning Spells.'

As if reading his thoughts, Lumine immediately said. "No studying and research." Glaring at Luis, she said. "You are prohibited from entry into your lab."

"Wha?" Luis wanted to complain

"Rest means rest." But Lumine was stubborn.

Alicia, who wanted to continue practicing swordsmanship secretly, under Lumine's gaze, also reluctantly nodded.

***

Under Lumine's suggestion. Luis and Alicia decided to go on a date.

"What do you want to do, Alicia?"

Alicia pondered for a moment, and uttered. "A movie."

"A movie, huh? Let's go then."

Since coming to this world, Luis, who hadn't had time to experience the entertainment in this world, also felt it was a nice idea.

"Lily! Book two seats for a popular movie."

{Yes, master!} Lily's voice sounded from the hologram.

"Lily, book the tickets for 'Kill the Scumbag'."

{Yes, sister Alicia.}

Luis didn't know what to say after hearing the movie title. But since Alicia wanted to watch it. He has no say nor that he had any recommendations. The previous Luis had no interest in movies. So, this should be his first time going to a movie theatre in this world.

'I wonder how different it is from my previous world.' Luis had some expectations for this world.

'It's just that the title is concerning.'

***

Riding a hover-bike, they arrived at the Entertainment Plaza. The very center of entertainment in Tryston City. Such as movie theatres, malls, Amusement Park, food districts, and VR Centers.

As they entered the movie theatre. Luis flashed their ticket to the staff. Confirming it, they responded quickly and gave them two metal headbands. Then they shifted their attention to the next person and repeated the process.

Luis and Alicia entered a dark, circular hall. Unlike his previous world, there was no projection screen inside the hall. Soon, they found the VIP seats that Lily booked for them.

Taking their seats, Luis wore the headband and helped Alicia wear it as well. It didn't take long for the movie to start and both of them found themselves inside the virtual world. The experience of the characters moving in front of you is like a living person, and you can get to see them from every angle. Luis could only describe his experience with one word 'amazing'.

'This is much better than my previous life.'

'It's just that the story is not to my taste.'

***

After the movie, they went shopping, had lunch, spent time chatting in a park and finally, in the evening, they decided to return home. For Luis, it was a very fulfilling day. He also felt that he had gotten a lot closer to Alicia.

Just when Luis was thinking of asking her whether to have dinner outside and maybe continue their date a little longer. He received a call from Jack.

"Hmm, Jack?"

Luis' steps halted and so did Alicia's.

"Pick it up. Maybe it's something important."

Jack knew that they were on a date and with his character, he wouldn't disturb them unless it was an urgent matter.

Luis nodded and picked up the call. The next moment, Jack's hologram appeared in front of them.

"What is it, Jack?"

With a serious expression on his face, Jack said.

[... Master Luis! There is movement on the target's side.]

As soon as Luis heard this, his eyes became sharp. Alicia also looked at him as if asking for something, seeing him nod and confirming her thoughts. Her eyes also became fierce.

"Keep tracking him. We are on our way."

With that, the call ended. But the mood of Luis and Alicia was difficult to describe. Luis could feel the faint killing intent Alicia was emitting.

"Calm down, Alicia. It's not time yet."

Hearing Luis' words, Alicia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. But the killing intent didn't diminish one bit. Instead, she became even more and more excited.

"Let's go to the guild first."

Alicia didn't speak a word and just nodded. But Luis knew she was the most excited person currently. For all these years, she had been searching for their traces and now she was so close to finding some clues. How can she retain her composure?

"Don't get excited early, Alicia. Let's first find out what happened."

"I know."

Their current location wasn't far from the guild. Twenty minutes later, they were standing outside the guild building.
