Chapter 108: Deals and feels [2]
"Halt!"
Arriving in front of a large gate, obstructing my path, with a stern expression, a muscular individual wearing a black uniform with a Lock insignia on his right chest pocket appeared before .
Lightly glancing at , he said
"State your purpose"
Briefly glancing at the guard before , instantly cold sweat appeared on my back. Though I didn't show it on my face, I could feel an imasurable pressure emanating from the guard before .
…He wasn't soone I could ss with. By my estimates, he was at least rank.
'To think the guards protecting the Leviathan building were ranked this tightly…'
This just went to show how much emphasis was placed on the students placed in the Leviathan building. Their whole building was guarded by ranked individuals.
How crazy was that?
Smiling politely, I responded
"I have soone whom I wish to talk to"
Indifferently glancing at , scrutinizing my body for a couple of seconds, the guard apathetically asked
"Appointnt?"
Montarily taken aback, I couldn't help but ask
"Errr…that's a thing?"
…Hold on.
Appointnt?
Why would I need to make an appointnt to enter a dorm room? It's not like I was going to et a famous CEO, or the school directors.
Noticing my confused expression, shaking his head, the guard sternly said
"It seems like you don't. I apologize, but I can't allow you to enter. If you want to gain access to this building, you must make an appointnt beforehand."
"Wait, but I really do have to et soone"
"I apologize"
*Tsk*
Clicking my tongue, after seeing that the guard wouldn't budge, I could only helplessly turn back.
Now what?
There was no way I could sneak inside of the building considering how secured that place was.
Did I have to give up and just look for another ti to approach them?
*Sigh*
…I guess that was the only viable option I had at the mont.
Sighing, as I walked back, I couldn't help but kick one of the rocks on the ground.
Ridiculous.
Why in the world would you need to make an appointnt to enter a dorm? When Amanda ca to my dorm, I didn't see her making an appointnt.
Discrimination I say!
Moreover, I never ntioned the fact that appointnts needed to be made when entering the Leviathan building in my novel.
…was it perhaps because in the novel Kevin only used to interact with certain individuals and not the lower-ranked ones? Hence why such situations never occurred?
I wasn't sure.
Shaking my head, I couldn't help but curse at whoever made it to be that way.
"Hmm? Are you Ren?"
As I was heading back, hearing my na being called, without much thought I turned around to check who was calling . I soon froze on the spot.
Soon after, quickly recovering from my daze, a large smile appeared on my face.
"Perfect timing!"
Hooking my arm around Kevin's shoulder, much to his confusion, I dragged him all the way back towards the entrance of the building.
"Help out will ya"
"Huh?"
Heading back towards where the guard had stopped last ti, I fearlessly moved forward. Now that Kevin was with , there was no need for to make an appointnt.
"Move aside, moving through with my best friend!"
"W-hat?"
Confused, Kevin couldn't help but glance at . Seemingly looking for an explanation. But before I could answer, obstructing my path once again, the guard's loud voice reverberated throughout a five-ter radius.
"Halt! I've already told you that unl--Kevin?"
As the guard spoke, halfway through his sentence, the guard soon noticed Kevin next to . Stopping halfway, he couldn't help but glance at Kevin in confusion.
Smiling wryly, Kevin nodded his head towards the guard.
"Ah, hello Ron"
Smiling at Ron, with my arm still on Kevin's shoulder, I specifically tried to emphasize how close my relationship with Kevin was.
"Hello, Mr. Guard called Ron, as you can see, I do have an appointnt and it's with my friend over here. Kevin Voss"
"Hmmm"
Seriously glancing between and Kevin, the guard's frown deepened. Turning towards Kevin he said
"Is what he said true?"
"Ehh…"
Speechless, Kevin didn't know what to say at first.
…He was just coming back from his elective when suddenly, near the entrance of his dorm apartnt, he noticed Ren.
He had called his na out as he was confused as to why he was all the way near his dorm…little did he expect to be dragged all the way towards the entrance of his dorm by him.
He was really confused. Just what was going on?
Just as he was about to confront Ren, turning his head to the side, he was soon subjected to his pleading expression. Though smiling, his eyes were saying
'Say yes, say yes, say yes…'
*Sigh*
Sighing, Kevin couldn't help but shake his head.
'I don't even know why I'm doing this…'
Glancing towards Ron, Kevin helplessly nodded his head and said
"Yes…exactly what he said"
Taking a good look at both and Kevin for a couple of seconds, Ron stepped to the side and said
"Hmmm, though I don't believe that's the true story, I have faith in your character Kevin, so I will let this one slide…"
Smiling apologetically towards Ron, Kevin thanked him
"Thank you…"
"Thank you!"
Like that, with Kevin next to , I finally gained access to the Leviathan building.
-Clank!
"Wow"
Entering the building, removing my hand from Kevin's shoulders, I couldn't help but be in awe. The word 'luxurious' was an understatent in this case.
It felt as if I had entered a new world.
The Leviathan building was shaped in a semi-circle-like shape, where, in the middle of the building was an enormous park with benches, flowers, fountains, and trees. By the side of the garden, bars and other facilities were present, and staff mbers continuously serving students that sat outside underneath the sun could be seen everywhere.
The whole building looked modern and slick, and although I had still not fully entered the building, I could now understand why Kevin chose to remain top ranked.
This was just too good.
"So?"
As I was admiring the scenery before , disrupting from my daze was Kevin's questioning voice. Glancing at him from the corner of my eyes, I tilted my head and said
"So…what?"
Staring at the park, Kevin asked what had been bugging him since the beginning.
"Why did you claim to be my friend so that you could gain access to the building?"
He didn't understand.
Normally, if a person wanted to enter the Leviathan building, they had to make an appointnt beforehand.
This was done for a certain reason. It was because the academy wanted to avoid situations where too many students would flock to the Leviathan building. With its top-end facilities, students would no doubt use this place as a hang-out spot.
The school had set up this place on purpose to be off-limit from the regular students. It was set up like this so that it could also serve as a motivating factor for the students to work harder. This way. students would work harder to get a better ranking and maybe, just maybe be able to enter this building.
It was sort of a reward for their hard work…
"…Well, I needed to talk to a couple of people."
Raising his brow, Kevin glanced in my direction and asked
"Who?"
"Ah, actually, I might need your help once again"
"…huh?"
Seeing the confusion in Kevin's face, I clarified
"Could you perhaps do a favor and ask for lissa to et down at the park?"
"lissa? That lissa?"
"Yeah that lissa…by the way the cafe over there"
Nodding my head, I pointed towards the cafe in the distance. I decided to et her at a cafe as I wanted to avoid being alone in the sa room as her.
…That girl was dangerous.
"eh…Alright"
Confused, Kevin's mouth open and closed a couple of tis. In the end, after a couple of seconds, he nodded his head.
Though Kevin wanted to know why he wanted to talk to lissa, he didn't ask.
…he wasn't close enough with Ren to ask him about his business. Moreover, he rembered how Ren had saved his life once, so I guess helping him was a way for him to thank him for what he did.
*Sigh*
Sighing, Kevin took out his phone and quickly sent lissa a ssage.
Kevin : [Soone called Ren Dover wants to et you. He said to et you at the cafe' inside of our dorm]
"…ah, make sure you include my na. Ren Dover. lissa for sure knows who I am"
As I was watching Kevin typing, I made sure to remind him to ntion my na. After all, I did talk to her before. She was bound to know .
"She does?"
"I think so…probably?"
Now that I thought about it, did lissa really rember ?
Yeah, she should.
Considering the fact that I had a few interactions with her in the past, chances were that she knew who I was.
…But thinking back at her character, there was a chance she forgot all about .
hmm, that would be problematic
"She said she'll be down in ten minutes"
"Oh sweet!"
I guess she did rember after all, I was needlessly worrying.
"Anything else I can help you with?"
Staring at the beautiful garden before for a couple of seconds, glancing at Kevin, I thought for a mont before saying
"hmm, actually, I do have sothing to discuss with you too"
Pointing towards himself, Kevin skeptically said
"?"
"…yeah, but let's leave that for another ti as it'll take a while"
Taking out my phone, glancing at Kevin, I said
"Do you perhaps have a phone number?"
"I do"
Looking at my phone, Kevin nodded his head. Of course he had a phone. Who didn't have a phone in this day and age?
"Alright, exchange it with . I'll text you when the ti cos. Trust , you won't regret what I will offer you"
Taking my phone, Kevin typed in his number. He didn't put what I had said to heart. After all, he had a system. Unless it was a five-star manual or an ranked skill, there wasn't really anything that could catch his interest these days.
"If you say so…"
After typing his phone number, checking at the ti, Kevin waved goodbye
"Alright, I have to go. I guess it's goodbye for now"
Nodding my head, I waved back.
"Yup, alright, see you later"
Like that, Kevin disappeared into the distance.
"huuuu…"
Watching him leave, I let out a long breath and made my way towards the cafe'
As I walked there, sitting on a chair outside of the cafe', I couldn't help but think to myself.
'It's a good thing I got Kevin's number. This way, I can find a way to convince him to bring out of this world…'
After all, I already had in mind the thing that could convince him to bring to Immorra…
