Far away from the room shared between Vincent and his lovely girlfriend, a silhouette of a young boy could be seen sitting in a hallway with exceptionally dim lights. He was sitting in a dark corner with legs crossed. A calculative flicker could be seen in his right eye with a red tattoo above and below as he stared at the view presented in the dozens of holographic screens floating in front of him.
The semi-transparent screens were extremely small and the best part was that he was the only one that could see them. After all, no one could see these semi-transparent screens without wearing specially created microlenses.
The young boy in his teens was able to see them as he was wearing a unique lens in his exposed eye.
He was currently gathering information on fellow examinees. He believed that every game can be won by possessing enough information. Furthermore, that's the only way he feels secure when meeting with others as it was hard for him to trust or befriend someone without possessing enough information about them.
"Oh, Vincent is like a beast that will immediately take actions to protect its lair and the treasures inside of the lair the very moment it feels threatened by external forces. As he is like a beast, it will be hard to befriend him. From the looks of it, the only easy way to get on his good side is to befriend his girlfriend. The examines with the second-highest grade is a simpleton. It's clear that he is an attention seeker. He would love to make friends with anyone even remotely interested in him. Hmm, my spying devices must have reached the rooms of the others. Let's check what they are doing."
A playful and calculative voice sounded in Alex Hollow's ear. He knew it belonged to Varth Hollow as he came here to warn him, after all. He silently sneaked up to him. One couldn't even hear the sound of his footsteps or see the shadow of his figure as he crept close to him.
Just as Varth prepared himself to look through the examinee's information presented in the semi-transparent screens, a calm voice suddenly resounded in his ears.
"Are you done spying on others?"
Varth instantly stopped whatever he was doing, stood up, and looked to the sides.
When he saw that it was instructor Alex standing beside him since who knows when, his eyes widened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Instructor Alex! Umm… what are you doing here?" Varth asked with a gulp as he looked at Alex.
"Hehe, did I caught you by surprise? On my way here, I destroyed some of your little toys and confiscated the others," Alex smiled and placed his hands on his shoulder as he spoke calmly.
"Instructor, I don't know what you are talking about. I'm feeling sleepy. If you have nothing to say, then allow me to return to my room."
Varth wanted to get out of his sight as soon as possible as he was afraid that Alex has caught him spying on the others. It was a legit crime, and although he was a juvenile, he'll still be given a punishment.
As he tried to move away from him, Alex gripped his shoulders, keeping him in place.
"Scared? Don't be. If I wanted to harm you, I would have done that already. Anyway, we already know that you've been using mobile recording devices to spy on the examinees."
As soon as he said those words, Varth right eye opened wide in alarm.
"What? But how? I have been doing everything discretely. I am sure that the CCTV didn't capture my movements. I also scattered the mobile spying devices by using the dents right below my feet. Isn't that what you are thinking right now?" Alex said with a smile as he looked at Varth.
Varth looked at him in silence, seemingly having no intentions to say even a single word. Internally, he was sweating buckets, and thinking, 'What should I do?'
"We have our method. Did you seriously think your illegal actions will escape our notice?" Alex said as he looked at him with an ice cold stare.
"Am I going to be punished?"
"Not really. You are among the best examinees this year, after all. This time, I only came here to warn you. Stop spying on the others. However, there will be no next time. You'll be immediately disqualified, kicked out of the tower, and escorted by the faculty members to the jail. You have broken the law of the federation by using advanced devices to illegally records the actions of unwilling victims once already, after all." Alex explained with a threatening smile on his face.
"I understand," Varth said as he wiped the sweat on his forehead.
"Good!" Alex said while walking away from the dimly lit hallway.
In a rather decent room that was decorated from the curtain to the bedsheets in pink, a gorgeous and beautiful woman with wavy golden hair, ample assets, an angelic face, and a slender body could be seen sitting on the bed as her feet with soft and smooth skin touched the ground. She was wearing a nightgown that exposed her smooth and slender legs.
Kayle has just finished taking a bath and was drinking warm milk right now. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door to her room.
As she opened the door to her room, a boy with a head full of red hair hurriedly entered without asking for her consent.
"Felix? What are you doing here?" She asked as she looked at the intruder.
"Elder sister, I need your help!" Felix said with a pitiful look on his face.
"Say it," Kayle said as she didn't have the heart to decline the call of plea of her little brother.
Felix Walker was her younger stepbrother. However, their relationship was much deeper than that.
Kayle's mother had died when she was just a child. It was her stepmother, Felix's mom, the saintess of fire that took care of her since then. Thus, Kayle had a rather strong relation with Felix as she used to spend a lot of time with him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, in her memories, he was a little boy with a cute face and a silly smile chasing after her and his mother, but now he is all grown up and has become rather distasteful. She especially didn't like that he has become arrogant. She wondered why her stepmother has allowed him to become so arrogant.
"First promise that you will hear me out," Felix said.
"Alright."
"Elder sister, I know you care about me just as much as I do for you. You know that this is my chance at redemption. I need to perform well at the entrance examination and attract the attention of the family, only then will I be able to gain resources from the family and have a chance of returning to the family's home ground. Can you explain the details of the next assessments to me? Please help me out with my request!" Felix said as he looked at Kayle with eyes threatening to drop tears.
Kayle sighed. Her servants in the Walken Family's royal palace had informed her that her stepmother was very sad and depressed. She was sad because she misses both her children. She was depressed because her only son was kicked out of the main family ground.
She knows for a fact that her stepmother will feel happy and smile only after Felix returns home.
Kayle decided to help him return to the Walken family's royal palace as she cherished her stepmother a lot.
"I will help you this time because I care about our mother. I don't have any information about the next test as it will be held by senior Theodore. The information about the last test is written on this piece of paper. You better don't mess it up and don't tell anyone about it," Kayle said as she gave him a folded paper.
"Thank you. You are a life savior, elder sister!" Felix said as he turned around to leave the room.
There was no reason to stay here. He got what he came for already, after all.
"Remember to burn the paper once you are done!" Kayle said.
"I know."
Thus, Felix walked back to his room. Once he was there, he read the information about the last test.
"A race, huh? That's the moment when I will be able to take my revenge!" Felix thought with an inauspicious smile as he set the paper on fire.
