Chapter 27: Trap
After asking many weapons shops and all of them had the same similar price. So Eli returned to his Division-1 dorm while Lily and Adria left him at the gate.
"Asking for help from Rock will create problems for him. So I have to do it on my own then" Eli devised new plans.

/FALLEN CONTINENT/
Both Adria and Lily removed their disguise and just stared at each other while sitting at the table.
"..."
"..."
"So, what should we do now?" Adriana was the first to break the silence.
"Well, I don't If it's him or Alexander, so let's wait for them to grow" /Lily/ said indifferently.
"Is that so?" Adriana doubted.
"Yes, they should at least have to be in Perfect-Monarch Rank" /Lily/ said solemnly.
"I guess so. Well, I take care of them" Adriana seriously said.
"You don't need to do that, If they died then that's their problem and you are not allowed to interfere" /Lily/ said indifferently.
".....Yes, My King" Adriana turned into tiny bats and left the place.
/Lily/ who was alone now, rubbed her neck, and a small circular glass appeared before and inside the glass, she could see Eli's angry face as he clutched Lily's neck.
"Don't worry Adriana, I will personally take care of My Dear" /Lily/ slowly rubbed her neck as her breath hardened and sky-blue eyes turned dark black.

/NEX ACADEMIA/
Eli visited the Hunting forest which is outside of the Divisions and heavily guarded. Many people like him enter the forest and after showing his SI Phone; guards let him enter.
"There is nothing much different than the forest in my village" Eli mumbled as he searched through the area; Eli was wearing his old torn sleeveless shirt and had a branch of the tree in his hand.
"Forest divided into three regions: Outer, Inner, Core.
The outer region has 1-3 Star Rank Monsters, the Inner region has 4-9 Star Rank Monsters and the Core has only Domain Rank Monsters.
First, I have to find 1-Star Horned rabbit and use the Rabbit's Horn as a weapon" Eli thought about his perfect plan and the prey just landed itself to the predator.
'squeak,squeak'
'Shoosh'
'chukk'
'QQUEEAAK'
Eli who heard the Rabbit's sound instantly, threw his sharp branch, and like that it died without knowing who killed it.
"I guess, fighting against classmates really a worth" Eli dissected the rabbit's body and attached the horn to the branch tightly and he started to hunt the 1-3 Star Rank Monsters without mercy.
*****
After Hunting, Eli walked out of the forest using SI Phone which can help him this time. His body was covered with some monster's blood and some bruises; had some teeth, a horn, and a Monster's Soul Crystals with him.
Most people went to the inner forest, so Eli hardly met other people in the outer region; then walked towards the Divison but someone tapped on his shoulder, and turned around to see a veil-petite girl standing with her hands on her back.
"Hmm? Huh, Hello Ms. Lily".
But Lily without saying anything, pulled him to a crowd less area and created a barrier around them, after then she spoke,
"Hi, Mr. Eli" as she looked at the hand which she pulled.
Eli then scanned his surroundings and pondered for a while and then asked,
"So, your voice has some problem or something?"
Lily raised her eyebrows and said while smiling, "Yes, Whenever I spoke, like you last time, everyone will fall on my spell, so I avoid speaking".
"Hmmm" Eli nodded like he understood something and asked, "What are you doing, Ms. Lily?".
"I am here for Adria" Lily replied.
"I see, Then where is her?" Eli looked around again.
"Well, she said she has important work so she will come late...
What? You don't like to talk with me?" Lily frowned as she cornered him.
"No, No that's not it Ms. Lily" Eli with an awkward smile, waved his hand.
'sniff,sniff'
"You know, you reek. You should take a bath" Lily said while covering her veil and backed a little bit.
"Hahah.." Eli with awkwardly laughed and thought, 'I just went for that and you are the one who pulled me'.
"ah...I have an Idea, why don't you come to my hotel room?" Lily asked and little...excited?
Eli raised his eyebrows while thinking for a bit and said, "If you don't mind".
"It's fine" as she again pulled him to the hotel.
*****
Inside the room, Eli looked around and everything is like in the Royal restaurant except for the bed and some furniture, he asked, "Where is the Bathroom?"
"Right side" Lily showed him the way and then she locked the room 'tick'.
'shower'
'drip, drip'
After taking a shower, Eli who was now wearing a white robe and sat on the sofa and looked around.
"Hmm?"
"Yes"
"Do you want to drink something?" Lily asked while looking at Eli's face.
"No, It's fine"
"Okay" and like that Lily sat beside him.
"..."
"..."
Two of them had an awkward atmosphere and after a few seconds, Eli came up with a topic,
"Ms. Lily?"
"..."
"...Ms. Lily?"
"..."
"...Hello"
"You called Adria informally after a single meeting but you still call me Formally as if I am a stranger," Lily said as she turned her head and folded her arm under her bosom.
"...Well, she was the one who started to speak informally, so I spoke to her like that.
Sigh...Lily" Eli sighed and called her name informally.
"YES, ELI" Lily shouted and was pleased.
"Calm down Lily, hahaahh.." Eli really amused and laughed.
Little redness appeared on her cheek and Lily changed the topic,
"What did you want to ask earlier, Eli?"
"Huh? That was, I forgot" Eli said as scratched his head but inwardly, 'All I want to avoid this awkward atmosphere'.
"Heh" Lily laughed a little.
"Ahh... I forget to ask but where are my dresses?" Eli didn't find the dress in the bathroom.
"Oh, the dresses were fully dirty and torn and I thought you don't need them so I throw them away" Lily said innocently.
"..."
Eli opened his mouth but closed didn't know what to say, 'Yes, they were dirty and torn but I can still use it...sigh'.
"What about my innerwear?" Eli asked, 'They shouldn't be torn or dirty, right?'.
"...T-That I don't kn..no, I throw it" Lily shuttered and spoke while her sky blue eyes shook.
"....."
