Chapter 107: Chapter 106: A looming desire
"Move him, to the peace quarters"
"...eh! Vice... wouldn’t that be too much, the whole academy would be flustered and think you are giving him preferential treatnt."
"well then what does it look like I’m doing"
"...sir, are you trying to say..."
"Yes, I am giving him preferential treatnt, since he’s my student. Any other queries?"
"No sir, I totally understand sir" He disappeared into thin air.
The vice-principal rested his back upon finish so paperwork after the guard left.
"do you plan to stay there all day"
"...."
"well.... do whatever you like"
"...are you seriously allowed to talk to a union mber this way, Kjansen"
"Aren’t you the rude one, calling your grandfather by na."
"Uh-uh, I’m successful now, so you wanna flaunt that you are my grandfather, indeed having the youngest mber of the union as your grandson is a great feat you are allowed to boast"
"hmm...- "
"... So what is this boy about, you have never trained anyone so intensively not even ... and I have never seen that worried look in your eyes except when you lost your son, he must be special...this boy"
"...is he?...I don’t think he has reached that stage yet... it’s just fun since I plan to create a masterpiece that will surpass even you"
"hooo... and you think this boy will surpass ? I’ve not even reached my peak yet I’ve accomplished this much, I’m still twenty-two years old, I’ve got a long life as a half-elf yet you think he will surpass ?"
"he will by the ti he is done with this academy..." Hlofgar stared into his grand son’s face as he said this.
"...." He scoffed and took away his face to avoid his grandfather’s gaze, ’I guess he is very serious after all
"So how are things over your side of the world?"
"hmm...what do you care?"
"...."Hlofgar kept looking at him.
"Well, it’s a hassle, the Fangdorr incident is still being investigated and there’s an internal power struggle especially with those old n that just keep getting stronger and most importantly it’s a rumour and classified information...probably the cause of the power struggle...the first and third seat has been inactive for seven months now, the 7th seat tried badging into their territories but was not allowed access, the guess is, they’re probably going out together to fight sothing or each other and are both gravely wounded"
"The first five-seat of the Union are very important people, with powers equals to that of a god, do not get caught in the power struggle, do not get on their bad side"
"Of course I know this, besides I’m planning to challenge another seat soon"
"didn’t you just win the 11th seat challenge...you should take a break"
"I started from the rock bottom, I won’t stop until I reach the first five only then can I uncover the secret behind father’s death"
"....Ulfur, isn’t it ti you forgot that now?"
"let’s not talk about it..."
The atmosphere went numb between the two.
"About the kid, seems it’s his party I would be training"
"Just go, don’t push it"
"Co on, old man I want to spend more ti with you, it’s been five years"
"stop acting like a kid, you are a union mber"
"Well I’m your grandson am I not allowed to"
"get... out" Hlofgar pushed him out of his office.
"...aha, sly old man... it’s good to see him again" Ulfur disappeared.

On Hlofgar’s orders, Rein was moved to a part of the academy known as peace quarters. The scenery was exceptionally beautiful; the flowers and rivers, the fresh sll in the atmosphere. Rein loved the sll. He looked around him as Grim pushed him on the automated wheelchair he had created as a recovery gift for Rein, it was a beautiful creation and since Rein could control it by remote, he wouldn’t necessarily need soone’s help with it.
The inside of his room was beyond luxurious, it was a large room with a king-sized bed; the gold chandeliers, the extravagant franchise of furniture and the royal feel that the room gave made Rein’s heart calm in a way.
He smiled and told Grim to help him to the bed which he did, afterward Grim slowly asked,
"Uhm... You said you wanted to..."
"ahh, I rember..." It was just yesterday he sent for Grim yet he had completely forgotten even though he had been with him all day. Was it because he’s been worried about sothing?
"....So I was wondering is it possible to create a machine that can let
walk...?"
"...I’m afraid, I’ve never heard of one sir".
"what if I give you an idea, can you make it work?"
"I really don’t know, I don’t want to disappoint your expectations!!"
’What is with these new mbers and so much politeness ...’
"Give
a paper"
Rein was given a paper and he began to scribble sothing on it, Grim’s face lit up as Rein was reaching the end of what he was scribbling.
Rein began to explain, "It just has to be a lower-body based automation which can let
walk and use my sword skills, so I’m guessing there has to be so sort of connections to my nerves, so my movent can be controlled with impulses, though it may not be as good as having a real leg, it would still give
a space of movent and allow
to be able to train"
" ...." Grim was silent.
"...Sir Grim are you? "
"Amazing ..." Grim murmured,
"Uh?"
"Sir Reinard you are amazing, you are a genius, how can you think of such a thing when you don’t even know much about machines! Sir Reinard... no... master, I’ll be looking forward to learning more from you"
’...aren’t you guys too quick to call
that, it isn’t a competition or sothing...besides raising
like that will make
feel guilty, this is just the norms on earth, people that can’t walk can get an automated leg, it’s just normal technology...’
"...well do you think you can do it?"
"No sir!! But I’ll study more, research more and experint more"
’how sharp and incompetent’
"Sure, sure, suit yourself"
Rein laid to sleep, but minutes later the weird nerd was still sitting beside his face with a big smile on his face.
"...Uhm, you do know you can go right?"
"you have not said so master, how would I know?"
’How logical, now I’ve lost it’
"Get out" Rein used the word with a calm voice, so he could sound as nice as possible.
Grim hurried out.
" I hope he does not cry...besides, between yesterday and today I’ve gained ten levels which ans Belet has gained a hundred levels...is this his pure desire to feed and grow, I do feel a little bit sad that he has not co to see
since I woke up...well since I have nothing to do, I should take care of this."
An egg fell out of Rein’s inventory right on his chest.
[?????? ???????? ???????????????? 8450
’The hell!! it’s just supposed to be an egg!’
"Now that I take a closer look, it does look like a dragon egg.... ... ... Nah no way, it’s just a mythical beast probably a strong one. I dream too high these days, a dragon...."
"ohhh....what is that egg?"
Rein flinched, soone familiar was right beside him but he didn’t particularly know much about her.
Riana who was the healer of the Orc subjugation party, Rein was finding it hard to rember her na. She smiled and saved him the stress.
"Its Riana"
"Well Riana, what are you?"
"I’m a nurse, that’s my job, hence I volunteered to co to help you"
"Ahh...thank you but you don’t have to"
"Well, I love to ..."
Rein looked at her "...."
"I an since it’s my job, I love to do it..."
’Crap I almost gave myself out’
"Well, I’m in your hands then ma"
"There’s no need for formalities"
"...Haha, I’d rather find it weird that I’m being informal to my nurse" "Haha... is that so, but you can just call
Ria instead"
"ok..." Rein had a senile smile on his face.
’I hope this is not what I am thinking...the only person for
is Alia, I’m not gonna go with soone with small cup sized breasts. like yours’ Rein had lost himself in his thoughts and was already staring at Ria’s breasts.
She crossed her arms on it in embarrassnt.
’Right off the bat and he’s already starting, don’t tell
he too is interested...’ She began to run amok in her mind.
Rein looked at her and wrapped the egg in the bedsheet and laid to sleep.
She left in embarrassnt, "Well I’ll be around if you need "
’I forgot...that egg, a mythical beast maybe, let’s not think too much’

The entire dungeon commission was in an uproar. The head instructor got there to ask for more information as even they needed help investigating what happened.
"Well the thing is soone has entered a tier SSS dungeon"
"What?...isn’t there supposed to be a magical barrier there"
"We don’t know also, the magical barrier is still intact but we can detect a presence in the dungeon"
"Which one, we have six of them don’t we?...."
"Well the boss is not the problem in this one...the thing is that dungeon leads to Zaldres’ lair"
"What?!! that mad dragon!! Dammit, why are you just saying this?! We should get the vice-principal right now!!"
