I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 127 Comments.]

Theo couldn't help but look at the comment section this time, finding not a single comment. He had no way to confirm whether Agata was written in the previous chapter or not.

Not only was he curious about the test, but he also wanted to know about the condition of his wife.

Unfortunately, other than asking the readers about this, he had no other way to know about her condition.

Meanwhile, he was still inside the bus, taking a look at the surrounding area from the bus, wondering if there was something that caught his attention.

He didn't want to let go of his guard and ended up suffering because of his unpreparedness after all.

Unfortunately for him, there was nothing extraordinary he could find. In fact, it was clear that the mountain looked safe. So, Theo's focus changed from the extraordinary phenomenon around the mountain to the people among the visitors. At least, any of them could turn into a big problem during the trip.

Theo sat down not far from the guide this time. He asked, "Is there anything extraordinary around the mountain? It can be anything like a village or even an ancient site."

"Hmm…" She looked down, falling into deep thought. It seemed that she considered his question carefully. Unfortunately for him, she ended up with a shaking head. "I don't think there is anything special. Let me introduce you to the mountain itself. There is no bad reputation or anything special around it other than the fact that the air around this mountain contains more essence than the rest of the area."

"That's it. What is the reason for such a change?"

"Hmm… I don't think it's much of a problem. We don't know much about it, but according to experts, underneath the mountain is a small mining vein. We don't know if it's Ray Ore or Grail Ore but those ores conduct essence."

"Is there anything specific about Ray Ore or Grail Ore?"

"Ray Ore is usually used for creating weapons due to its ability to contain essence. On the other hand, Grail Ore is a rarer type that is used to repel monsters."

"Repel monsters?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows.

"Yes. Due to its conductivity and the weird flow inside the ore, the Grail Ore can be ground to dust and spread around the area, creating a layer that can repel monsters."

Theo furrowed his eyebrows. On the one hand, he thought he had found a lead. On the other hand, he didn't think that the Grail Ore would be the cause.

"I see." Theo continued thinking about the possibilities of the enemy's attacks. He believed that the author had been preparing something big, so there must be a clue somewhere.

"Is there something wrong, Mr. Theo?" The guide asked, feeling a bit worried. While Theo looked paranoid, she knew that he was a powerful fighter. This type of fighter had an instinct or sixth sense far better than normal people, allowing them to sense any kind of danger.

If there was indeed a danger, it might be better to evacuate the building or even hire a specialist to deal with it.

Theo let out a long sigh. "It's nothing. I haven't found anything yet, but there is a sense of danger around it. I might be overthinking."

The guide hurriedly offered, "The Master has given me instructions to carefully consider your opinion no matter how weird it is. Hence, I believe that we should call some specialists."

"The problem is that we don't know about the type of problem, so we won't know who to call." Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

"That's…." The guide paused for a moment before agreeing with Theo. "…true."

"I appreciate that you can consider my words carefully, but I think it would be better to prepare some fighting experts. Also, if you have any bad rumors or maybe urban legends, please tell me about them."

"I understand. I will try to find one." She nodded.

Some of the students in the front couldn't help but overhear their conversation.

They were Aurora, Avalon, and Oliver.

"Teacher… Is something bad going to happen?" Aurora asked with a worried expression.

"Well, aren't you excited? If something bad happens, I have to take care of you or even advise you to do something. This will be like a mission instead of a vacation." Theo shrugged nonchalantly as though it wasn't a big deal. He just tried to tone down their worries without completely taking them away.

Avalon couldn't help but frown and start looking at the outside, trying to find out anything weird. Meanwhile, Oliver had taken out any information about this mountain. In the end, he was still in his home world, so he was more familiar with it than anyone else.

While they were discussing it, Haruka actually started feeling a bit uneasy.

"Mhmm?" The ghost next to her seemed to notice something wasn't right. In fact, it might be something similar to what they had been experiencing the whole time.

"Something strange. I don't feel any danger, but it's just… I'm feeling a bit nostalgic as though I have been experiencing this for a long time." Haruka wondered if she was just worried over nothing, not knowing anything about Theo's conversation with their guide.

The other students were also partying in the back. The mood was festive, so Haruka also wouldn't find out about Theo's conversation.

The group finally entered the mountain and started climbing. The road wasn't too steep, so they could get a pretty good view of the mountain. However, Theo kept looking out for the fluctuation of energy in the mountain, only to feel a bit disappointed when he couldn't find anything good.

In the end, the group reached the resort without anything special happening. In fact, most of the students were oblivious to Theo's worries.

The resort was extremely vast and high level. The main building was huge and contained a lot of rooms.

Because they weren't in the holiday season yet, it wasn't fully packed with visitors. However, they could still easily find hundreds of visitors as well as a few hundred staff members in it. So, it was still pretty crowded.

"We have prepared seven rooms on the same floor according to your request, Mr. Theo." The guide handed him dozens of cards.

"Thank you." Theo then turned to his students and said, "This time, each room will have two people in it. Consider the other person to be your partner during this trip and if you need something, discuss it with your partner before coming to me."

"Teacher. Do we need to do anything special with this pair?" Serena raised her hand.

"That's your task. Think about what you should do with your partner during the schedule that I will give you later. Still, don't forget that we are on a trip. The tasks are not that important, so you should prioritize having fun above anything else during this trip. I will send you the schedule tonight."

"The supplementary lessons will be tomorrow, right? Will it be a problem if the other person is in the lesson?" Avalon asked.

"Not at all. You will understand after I give you the schedule. Alright. I will call your names, so come and get the room key from me." Theo paused for a second before taking out the first card. "Maya and Serena."

"Here!" Both Maya and Serena hurriedly came to retrieve their cards. They didn't expect that both of them would be in the same room. If this was the beginning of school, Serena wouldn't get along with Maya, whose grade was among the lowest. But Maya and Serena had changed so much and gained each other's respect.

"Li Wei and Jayden." Theo called the second pair.

Jayden had high competitiveness, while Li Wei had extraordinary ability. These two would definitely be interesting to watch.

"Mia and Haruka."

Haruka was a rather timid person, but her skill was still highly regarded. Mia's skill was above Haruka's, but due to her age, Mia's personality was wilder and more reckless. Having Haruka would definitely slow her down and make her more careful.

"Lancelot and Lucas."

This time, the twins had to be separated from each other. It wasn't going to be a problem if they wanted to stay together, but it would be troublesome if a girl and a boy resided in the same room. After all, the twins might not mind it, but the other pair would definitely be concerned.

"Aurora and Luca."

Due to the last mission, Aurora and Luca understood each other a bit more, so their synergy might be higher than normal pairs. Luca was good at defense while Aurora had her own extraordinary offense, which would prove useful in combat.

The last pair were Avalon and Oliver. Avalon was a rather strict guy, while Oliver was a quiet one. Their synergy might not be the best, but they wouldn't go against each other.

Theo believed that these six pairs would give them the flexibility to maneuver in case something bad happened.

"Alright. Now that you know who you are paired with, you may go to your room and do whatever you want for today. However, I have one assignment for all of you. Today, you are not allowed to be separated by more than five meters from your pair. If you want to go back to the room, you will go together. If you want to eat, do it together. Understood?"

"But why? I mean, isn't it rather awkward?" Li Wei asked.

Theo shook his head. "That's the assignment for today. I can't watch you all the time, but I have a way to find out the truth. Anyone who breaks the rule will be punished severely tomorrow. So, be careful."

"…" The students felt chills down their spines when Theo mentioned a punishment. They even came a bit closer to each other to avoid the punishment.

Unbeknownst to them, their trip was about to become a bit more 'interesting.'
