Chapter 182 - No More Other Districts (2)

"Shelly~" I ran to hug her.

Luke and I were the last ones in our group to arrive on campus. I wasn't surprised he was trying to keep me confined inside his mansion as long as possible for me to 'recover'. I rubbed my face into her chest for comfort.

"Are you ok?" Shelly appeared to be afraid of touching me back.

"What do you mean? I'm fine," I looked up to her.

"I heard what happened in the fifth district," she frowned.

"The school was in a panic and apologized tremendously to our fraction," Shelly explained.

"It wasn't that big of a deal…"

"It is, I heard you could have almost died," Ellen walked towards us with worry.

"I'm so glad you don't seem seriously injured," Ellen held both of my hands.

"Like I said, it wasn't that much of a big deal," I recalled suffering under Luke for the past few weeks.

I didn't suffer from my injuries, but from the contract I signed. It was just like school, but worse. I had the same never-ending study sessions and books Luke assigned me to read if I wanted access to my supply not even a metre away.

Whenever I refuted I felt perfectly fine, Luke would pull out another bottle of erigent and pour it over my supposedly wound. Every time I suffered from the pain, I started to think that erigent was actually a scam. It was probably a potion that made someone feel excruciating pain as its intent.

"Nobody thought a simple mission would put anyone in danger," Charles walked up to us.

"Now, the school has declared that there will be no missions outside the first district for the rest of the year and each mission will be done in two pairs," Charles revealed.

"You're saying it like it's my fault," I clenched my fists.

"You're an exceptional case where you manage to cause trouble from the tiniest factors," he shrugged.

I wondered what Charles' problem was today. His usual mockings were riling me up more than usual since my patience was breaking more easily after being stuck with only Luke for so long. I ignored him this time as we walked together to the classroom.

At least he let me know what was going on, unlike Luke who had kept things hidden until I asked. I wondered what happened when Luke went to school without me to take care of the rest of the assignment. But I knew it had something to do with making the school apologizing to us, which meant the school owed us something.

Daniel appeared relieved when he watched me act the same as usual. But warily looked around the room when Luke pulled back my chair and held my stuff for me. My marble and tablet weren't heavy, but I guessed it had something to do with making the injury appear worse than it was.

"From the special circ.u.mstances, everyone will receive 100,000 points for the success of this mission," Daniel announced.

Wow. I was surprised. One hundred thousand points was not a small amount. I wondered if this mission was worth this much in the first place. It was expected of Luke's great negotiation skills to make this happen.

"The school will also give you a special room in the dorms until you recover," Daniel told us privately after class.

A special room? Luke seemed like he already knew about it as I didn't need to go back to my dorm to move my belongings. When Luke opened the door for me, I couldn't step into the room from utter shock.

This room was just like the room I stayed in Luke's mansion except the whole suite was split into three smaller rooms with each bedroom having its own bathroom. One was the connected living room, one that resembled the small hospital space and the other that was a normal bedroom for Luke. So this was how people with a luxurious amount of points lived?

It couldn't compare to how Luke and I were forced to live in one medium sized room together since we couldn't afford something like this. Even Shelly and Alex didn't live like this even though they were the partner with the most amount of points. We were getting really good treatment when the blame wasn't totally on the school.

What manga? What otaku supply? Would I even need them when I was treated like a princess until I 'recovered'? I never had the time to read them anyways when I was busy with school. Luke passed me a special meal card where it wouldn't deduct any of our current points no matter what meal I ate. My eyes glittered since there were so many luxurious sets in the cafeteria I wanted to try but could never afford.

"What long would it take until I fully 'recover'?" I wanted to know when the special treatment ended.

"Maybe around one more month? Your injury hasn't been recovering as fast as you should since you move around too often," Luke calculated.

One month. It was the time left remaining for me to enjoy all the privileges the school gave us. I didn't know how I would adjust back into my old room after indulging myself in all these luxuries. But I rolled around my bed in happiness before I froze when Luke pulled out another bottle of erigrent.

"Do I really need that every single day?" I gulped at the sloshing liquid inside the bottle.
