Chapter 137 Depressed!
137 Depressed!
Unfortunately for Diana, her happiness didn't last long. Before the two of them could get serious and unleash some powerful moves. Olivia appeared between them and interrupted their fight. "That's enough! Both of you can stop now!"
When Luis saw that Professor Olivia caught his punch, he nodded with a calm expression and put down his raised fist. On the other hand, Diana complained with an unhappy face, "What?! Why stop it now, Professor? It was just getting good!"
Professor Olivia pointed her finger towards the ground and said, "The ruckus that the two of you made had already caused so much damage. If I let you two go all out, I don't know how much damage there will be. As your class instructor, they will hold me accountable for it."
"So, do you still want to continue?" Professor Olivia asked with a smile. But that smile made Diana shudder, and she retreated a few steps.
"No, Professor, I'm good. There is no need to continue," Diana replied hastily while shaking her head. As if afraid to let Professor Olivia misunderstand her.
Luis was observing the damage they did to their surroundings and asked curiously, "Professor, this kind of damage should be a normal occurrence in the academy, right? Is it really a big enough deal for you to take responsibility?"
'In the game, it was not once that the protagonist destroyed the academy's buildings and facilities in the process of fighting his enemies, but as that was a game, they did not hold the player responsible. I mean, what kind of stupid game would do that?' Because of this, Luis was genuinely curious about how it would turn out in real life. 'Will they punish Alex? I kind of want to see that.'
Professor Olivia nodded at Luis and said, "Yes, this kind of damage is normal here." Then her eyes squinted, and she started to reprimand him.
"But that is in an official duel. Yours was an unofficial one, and you didn't even get my permission before the two of you started fighting here. If we allow the students to fight wherever they want. Won't the academy end up in a mess? There's a reason that we set up the Battle Arena, okay? So, the next time you want to go all out, fight in the Battle Arena! Don't make a mess of the training ground!"
Hearing this, Luis lowered his head awkwardly. It's not that he didn't know about the Battle Arena. It's just that he didn't want to lose his opportunity there for his fight with Diana.
He rubbed the back of his head and tried to explain, "Actually, Professor, because you arrived here before the fight started and didn't stop us. I assumed that it was not a problem for us to fight here."
When she heard his explanation, Professor Olivia grinned and said, "My silence doesn't mean my approval."
Looking at Professor Olivia, Luis' mouth twitched. He wondered if she did it on purpose. And just like he had expected. The next moment, Professor Olivia's face returned to a neutral expression, and she said, "Remember to come to my office tomorrow after the classes to receive your punishment."
'So, you intentionally found fault just to punish me?!'
Luis looked at Professor Olivia speechlessly. While in his mind, he was using his Performer talent at full throttle. Analyzing her changes in expression at the time of their conversation with serenity. On the surface, he showed a wry expression and nodded, "Yes, Professor. I'll be there in time to receive my punishment."
Satisfied with his response, Olivia nodded expressionlessly and was about to leave. That's when a doubtful voice sounded beside them.
"Um, Professor, will I be also punished?" Diana asked with a confused expression.
Professor Olivia paused for a moment, then nodded seriously, "… Yes, so you better be there on time."
'Can you please not make it any more obvious?! Your expression says it all! You just remembered her!' Luis complained inwardly while thinking that his talent probably wasn't even needed to judge her.

After Olivia left, the crowd dismissed.
Diana looked at Luis and said, "You are a strong opponent. Too bad we had to stop."
Luis smiled and said, "You are not bad either. I envy your powerful physique."
When she heard his praise, Diana grinned and said, "I'll become even stronger when I challenge you again." Then, thinking of something, she paused and continued, "Next time, let's go to that so-called Battle Arena so that we won't be interrupted."
Luis just gave a nod and didn't speak further.

After separating from Ben and Diana, he went to Alicia, who was standing there waiting for him with her hands folded.
As he saw her looking at him with a slight frown on her face, Luis sighed and said, "Let's talk as we head back."
When she heard this, Alicia's frown eased a bit, and she nodded.
---
On their way back to their classroom. Alicia looked at Luis beside him and asked, "Will you go?"
"Yes," Luis answered with a nod. He knew that Alicia was talking about Olivia's punishment excuse for calling him.
Hearing his response, Alicia's eyes squinted as she asked, "Do you know what she wants from you?"
"No," Luis answered honestly.
After a moment of silence, she said, "… I'll go with you."
"You sure?" Luis asked, slightly surprised.
"Yeah, since you are so confident about going. That means you are ready to use that spell in the worst scenario. So, if anything goes wrong, you can just get us out safely, right?"
Luis nodded, agreeing with her, because that is what he had planned. If he finds the situation is wrong, he is ready to teleport. Moreover, the possibility of Olivia doing something bad to them is quite low. That is, if her character is not different from the one he is familiar with in the game.
"Maybe we are thinking too much. Even if she has other intentions, she might not be hostile to us," Luis said with a sigh.
"That's for the best." Alicia also nodded.
"Since that's out of the way." She mumbled, then turning to face Luis sharply, she asked with a glare, "Mind telling what is up with Diana Tres?"
When he heard her mention about Diana. A wry smile appeared on Luis' face. 'I knew she would ask this.'
"She just challenged me to a duel. You saw what happened."
"You know perfectly that's not what I am talking about."
"… I'll tell you about it later."
"Good."

Inside the Jormundgar Classroom.
Amidst the noisy chatter and laughter of the students. A green-haired girl was sitting quietly with a blank expression on her face. This person was none other than our regressor, Sera Dennis. Since this morning, she has been depressed because of the class division.
'Why did I have to be separated from Alex? Last time we were together in the same class. So why couldn't it be the same this time?'
'Moreover, Alex is in the Fenrir class, along with those two bitches.'
Just thinking about it, Sera became even more depressed. At this moment, a purple-haired boy with spiky hair appeared next to her and called out. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"Hey, Sera. Why are you looking so down today?"
Sera turned to look at the purple-haired boy standing next to her, showing a look of concern. 'If I hadn't known about your true self. I would have probably been fooled.' She was disgusted at this moment. But hiding it well under her blank expression, she uttered.
"What do you want, Markeith?"
Markeith was taken aback by her response, but he immediately recomposed himself and said with a stressed expression.
"I'm just worried about you as a friend."
Seeing him act, Sera really wanted to punch him in the face. But she took a deep breath to calm herself down and stated. "I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."
With that said, she stood up from her seat and immediately left the classroom. Or else she might not be able to resist beating up that hypocrite guy.

For the rest of the day, Luis, along with Alicia went around the campus and toured some clubs. They found many subjects and clubs that interested them. But they thought of trying everything first before deciding on anything. After all, they still had two weeks to make their choices.

After lunch, Luis and Alicia returned to the dorm and were now inside Luis' private gym.
Alicia stood there wearing a blue tracksuit, as she asked curiously. "What kind of training is it?"
"Did Mom not tell you?" Luis asked with a surprised expression. Because from what he had expected, Lumine should have already told her about this.
"No." Alicia replied, shaking her head and asked, "You mean Aunt knows about this training method that you are going to show to me now?"
Luis nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, with this training, our growth will be much faster, and you can do this training anytime."
"Really?" Alicia asked in surprise.
Guys, my laptop wasn't working today. Ended up writing in my phone.
