Conquering The Game's World

Inside the lounge, when the Professors saw Kress take out the purple stone and crush it. All their expressions became solemn.

"A signal stone… It seems the one who tricked Kress has some big conspiracy behind all this," Professor Vindsmokwe expressed with a subtle look. Which made all the other professors thoughtful.

"Professor Darrin, do you think…" Olivia turned to Professor Darrin and saw him nod in affirmation. "It seems she was right." When he said this, Olivia could feel the boiling anger behind his calm words.

She sighed heavily and turned to her friend beside her.

"Hena, please…"

Hena knew the situation, so she nodded in understanding. Then said while standing up. "I'll go capture them back first. If there are changes. Send me a message."

"Sure."

After seeing Olivia nod, she disappeared in a flash.

Their interaction fell into the eyes of the professors. Which made them interested. Professor Mori was the first to raise his doubts on behalf of all the professors.

"Professor Olivia, forgive me if I'm wrong. But I want to ask. Do you know something about this?"

He wanted to ask Professor Darrin, but sensing his agitated mood, he looked at Olivia instead.

"Well…" Olivia glanced sideways at Professor Darrin. Then spoke out. "Yesterday, a student from Professor Darrin's class came to ask him for help. According to her, a friend of hers was being targeted inside the academy and his life might be in danger. So, she wanted the academy to focus on protecting him."

As soon as her words fell, the expressions of several professors changed.

"Is this related to the yesterday's incident?" One of the professors asked.

"Probably," Olivia answered, then continued speaking. "Since she didn't have any evidence to support her claim, Professor Darrin wasn't sure if it was her misconception. However, out of caution, he called out, me, Professor Hena, and Professor Hardy for a meeting. To discuss what measures we should take. It was during that meeting when yesterday's incident happened. Which was solved by my students."

When she said the last sentence, a hint of pride crept into her tone. However, none of the Professors cared about this. After all, if it were them, they would show off even more.

"Did you find out the identity of the culprits and their purpose?" Professor Vindsmokwe asked with a frown.

"They are criminals from the Aiverson Empire. The inspection team missed out because they were wearing human masks." Olivia answered.

"How could they be fooled by human masks? Are they not doing their job properly?" Professor Vindsmokwe uttered in displeasure.

"That's not the case, Professor Vindsmokwe," Professor Hardy explained in a grave tone. "They weren't using the ordinary human mask. Rather, it was very high-tech stuff. Without a top-quality scanner or mastery in physiognomy. It's almost impossible for the inspection team to see through their disguise with their strength."

"How could ordinary criminals have such things?" Professor Mori became surprised.

Professor Vindsmokwe looked at Professor Hardy and asked. "Are you saying they have some powerful organization as their backer?"

"That's our guess. We can't be sure without a thorough investigation." Professor Hardy said in a helpless tone. "It just… Can we do that?"

Everyone understood what Professor Hardy implied with his words. If they wanted to further investigate, they would need to send a lot of manpower to the Aiverson Empire. However, the king may not agree with Oracle Academy conducting such a large-scale investigation within his empire.

Professor Vindsmokwe also sighed after hearing this. "If it was any other kingdom, it shouldn't be difficult to convince them. But the Aiverson Empire… Forget it. With his temper, he will never agree. Unless we can offer him good enough conditions."

The lounge fell into silence for a moment. Stay tuned to m v l e m p y r

Professor Mori looked at Professor Olivia and asked. "Didn't your students keep any criminal alive for interrogation?"

Olivia spread her hands, expressing her helplessness about this matter. "By the time I got there. Only the charred corpses were left."

"It's okay, Professor Olivia." Professor Hardy first comforted Olivia. Then his calm eyes fell on all the professors, stopping at Professor Mori as he spoke. "There's no need to blame those children. After all, it was their friend who was in danger. It's understandable that they couldn't control their emotions and landed a heavy blow to their enemies."

Professor Mori showed a speechless expression, then defended himself with a wry smile. "I'm not blaming them, Professor Hardy. Given Luis' usual composure, it's difficult to believe he wouldn't keep an enemy alive for interrogation."

"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Professor Vindsmokwe stopped them before this matter could escalate. "It doesn't matter if the enemy is alive or not. With little Hena's ability, she should be able to extract the memories from their corpses. Right?"

When he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Olivia, who nodded in affirmation. "According to Hena, there should be results within a few days. It's just that their brains were a little damaged, so it's taking a little more time."

"So that's it." Professor Mori nodded. "Now, we just have to wait for the results to come out."

Upon hearing this, the other professors also nodded without much worry. Professor Mori noticed the tentative look on Olivia's face, so he asked with doubt. "Do you have something else to say, Professor Olivia?"

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then shook her head firmly. "It's nothing."

There was something she hid from the professors just now. After the investigation, the number of criminals that entered the academy city and the number of corpses didn't match. In the warehouse, the traces left also showed that there were more criminals.

Now, whether someone disposed of the missing bodies or took them alive. She was sure Luis was behind this. Don't ask why, it's her intuition. It's just that she didn't know how he did it in such a little time. So, after hesitating, she kept this matter to herself first and planned to ask him about it later.

Since she doesn't want to say it, Professor Mori didn't probe further. Instead, he turned to Professor Hardy and asked with a serious expression.

"Professor Hardy, what's the name of the student who asked for aid and the one who needed protection?"

Professor Hardy glanced at Professor Darrin, then answered under all the professors' curious eyes.

"It's Sera Dennis from Aiverson Empire and the one who needs our protection is called Alex Stain."
