88 Famous Overnight (3)
Elias shook his head and sighed heavily. What was done was done, no need to fuss over spilled milk. It was also his fault in the first place to forget about this subplot.
Or perhaps, one could say it was just his luck that attracted soone like Professor Felix.
"This doesn't change anything much... Or maybe the story gets affected, but who cares?"
Elias muttered under his breath. After so thinking, the story didn't really matter. It was headed to a tragic ending, thus it didnt matter if it was ssed up or not.
After recovering from his surprise, Elias looked at Peter and Robert. Peter was excited and thrilled, yet confused by his reaction from the news article.
While the other one... Robert was just standing from a distance, showing so cautiousness towards him.
It was evident to him that Robert had a story of his own to tell, but it was not sothing he wanted or needed to know, thus he dismissed it after a thought.
After calming down, Elias looked at Peter and opened his mouth.
"Did they publish a picture of mine in the news article?"
"Nope! But they might update it soon, you have your student ID card now. They can look at it in the student database."
"So there's still ti... I guess until this day,"
Elias snickered and nodded slowly. There was still ti before he was recognized by everyone and get targeted by other people.
He wasn't scared, but he was still new to the academy. There was still a lot he didn't know of and had no control over, anwhile so clubs here had been established since the founding of the academy.
If the other higher ranked clubs knew he was going to make his own club, they might possibly obstruct or stall his recruiting process.
Or worse, so malicious people might even attemptto kick him out of the academy or ruin his life.
So until that ti... he needed to laylow and recruit the people he wanted.
"First of the list... Hajin."
Elias muttered under his breath.

After bidding farewell to Peter and Robert, Elias didn't stall any further and left Room 12. He walked outside and coincidentally saw soone on the way.
On one of the apartnt floors, there was beautiful woman with long-black hair and white skin talking to soone. While she stood, her ruby red eyes shone of striking allure.
She had a supple and charming body hidden under her stack of clothes, but her pair of glasses and the shy introverted air she exhibited made her seem nerdy instead.
Nonetheless, she was as srizing as an newly uncovered ruby. Like a fragile, glowing gem that incites
whoever who looked at her to treasure her very being.
A woman that shone under the sun.
Alice Heartfelt.
After taking a glance at her, Elias instantly rembered her story in the novel. He couldn't help but feelt slightly bad about it.
He shook his head and imdiately moved his gaze in fear of being noticed. He didn't want to deal with her at the mont.
If possible, may they never cross paths each other.
Elias shook his head and sighed. He walked out of the apartnt and saw that a lot of students were discussing about sothing.
"Have you heard the latest news?"
"Oh, that demon invasion right? What, are you scared of demons? Big deal, not like our midterm exam is not about slaying demons..."
"You fool! No! I'm talking about that Elias Corleone! The one who slayed a Baron level demon...!"
"Oh... yeah, that. Sigh. It seems like the Top 100 is going to have a new addition in this year, there goes my chances..."
As everyone discussed about him, Elias simply shrugged and walked away. The first he needed to do for the day was to take his stuff, it had sothing important in there.
There was still quite so ti before his fight with Ragna. It was still at the morning, the schedule was at noon.
While he walked, he heard a lot of students gossiping about him. It bothered him, but he did his best to just ignore them.
It didn't take long before Elias arrived in front of a large building. Without a second thought, he entered the place and left after a while with a suitcase and a phone in his hand.
To his surprise, the entire process of getting his items was rather a short and easy. He just needed to flash his Student ID card and the staff readily gave his things.
Elias turned on his phone and dialed a number.
Ring.. ring..!
Then, the number answered almost imdiately.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hajin, co to XXX14 in the left side of the academy. I'll wait for you since I need you for sothing."
"Huh? Who is this.. El—"
Elias imdiately cut off the call. He looked at the sky and gave a long deep stare. Without further a do, he walked away from the place.
After getting his things, he temporarily didn't have any more urgent matters to handle. He entered a coffee shop that he ca across and sat at one of the tables.
Elias turned on his phone and browsed the forums while waiting for Hajin.

[Devil Heart a Gold-ranked club had recently rised in status, securing so outside deals and investnts, had started to get more property in the city... (omitted)]
'Devil Heart?'
Elias raised his brows. If he rembered correctly, there was an important side character in that club. But they will only appear in the story until a later arc.
But due to the nature of the club business in the academy, he might et that character sooner than expected. He might as well prepare for them.
Elias shoved it to the back of his mind and read along again in boredom.

[Olympus, a Platinum-ranked Club is looking to recruit Elias Corleone, sources say... (omitted)]
Elias suddenly stopped scrolling. There were a lot of post about him in the forum, but he ignored them as usual... except for this one.
It was too eye catching.
A platinum ranked club represented one of the highest ranked clubs in the academy. Furthermore, the club Olympus was just all too familiar with him.
"So it has begun..."
Elias mused to himself. This happened to Rain and Lance in the novel as well, but since he took over their fa and reputation, this event happened to him instead.
Elias tapped the table as his eyes flickered.
Olympus... he would just destroy them the sa if they were to obstruct his path.
Plain and simple, just like how he preferred.
