Chapter 37 – Vacation? More Like Time to Get Stronger

The School Investigation – Finally, They Do Something

The next day,my blood frenzy finally calmed down.

But then the academy made an announcement.

Due to the "unexpected danger" in the dungeon event, an official investigation was being launched.

✔ Teachers were being questioned.

✔ Security measures were being reviewed.

✔ Classes were put on hold.

Which meant…

We got an early vacation.

I leaned back in my chair, arms crossed. "Huh. So they actually give a sh*t now?"

Freya sighed. "It's a serious matter, Leon. Several students died."

I scoffed. "Yeah, and they waited until AFTER people got ripped apart to start caring."

She didn't argue.

Because she knew I was right.

Seria Is Still Watching Me Like a Hawk

I could feel Seria's gaze on me.

She was sitting across the room, pretending to read something.

But every few minutes, her eyes flicked toward me.

Like she was waiting for me to slip up.

Tch.

She was really that determined to figure me out, huh?

Annoying.

But whatever. I had other things to focus on.

Time to Get Stronger – I Need That Item

Since we had time off, I wasn't about to sit around doing nothing.

In the game, there was a powerful artifact hidden during this time period.

✔ It wasn't part of the main story.

✔ The heroine could find it if the player explored enough.

✔ But no one else ever bothered to look for it.

Which meant…

If I got to it first, it was mine.

I smirked. "Alright. Guess I've got a trip to make."

Final Thought – Let's See If This Item Is Worth the Trouble

✔ The academy was distracted.

✔ Seria was watching, but I could shake her off.

✔ I had an artifact to hunt down.

I cracked my neck. "Time to go treasure hunting."

The sword hummed in my mind. "You sure this is a good idea?"

I grinned. "Nope. But it's happening anyway."
