[End Of Information]

As Rey stared at Adrien's Status Window, he had a few thoughts... though the dominant one had to be:

'He's gotten even stronger since we last met.'

Adrien had jumped ten levels, and his Stat Points had also increased considerably. The growth wasn't scarily massive, and Rey was still dominant in every aspect of their Stats—including Skills—but he still couldn't help but be wary.

'I suppose it's a good thing to have an ally as strong as Adrien, but as long as I don't fully trust him, there'll always be that lingering feeling of worry that I can't get rid of.' He thought to himself.

For the moment, though, Rey decided to be content with the look of shock that existed on Adrien's face after he made his appearance known to him.

'He's trying to hide his surprise, but it's no use.'

It was always a pleasant thing for Rey whenever he had the upper hand in their conversations or meetings, so he made sure to quell some of his suspicions and make himself comfortable as he gazed upon his interlocutor with a casual smile on his face.

"So... how does it feel to have so much attention on you, Adrien? You're the only human in the whole Academy, aren't you?" The humorous tone he used caused the slight tension in the air to dissolve, and the two managed to leak out a few chuckles as a result.

"Well... let's just say it's slightly annoying and uncomfortable." Rey laughed a little more after hearing this. "Of course, it would be. For a mastermind that likes to stay in the shadows, this isn't your style, is it?"

"Yes."

"And you don't think he was being biased? He is a Dragon Lord himself, so maybe—"

"He didn't know I was listening in. He was having a conversation with the other Dragon Lords... without including the White Dragon Lord. I got to hear their opinions of her, and it's not good."

'Ah... I see now.'

If the other Lords were in on it, then that meant her prestige was really hanging on a thread.

"That isn't all, though." Adrien sighed. "The final nail in the coffin will be happening soon... at the Exhibition that will be taking place within the Capital."

"That won't be happening for another few months or so, though, right?"

"Yeah... but a few months will be here sooner than you can imagine. Besides, once the Exhibition takes place, the White Dragon Lord's position at the bottom of the barrel will be solidified."

"Elaborate." Rey muttered, interlocking his fingers as he watched Adrien intently.

"From the talk among the other Lords, and also from what I have personally observed, I suspect the White Lord will be pushed to the very bottom in the ranks in terms of status, and her Squad will also suffer the same fate."

"Hmm..."

"That's why it will be unwise to latch on to her in order to get access to the Capital." Adrien added with a sigh. "Of course... this is all just conjecture, but I think it's best not to take the risk."

"I see..."

A few seconds after this, neither party spoke. It seemed Adrienw as waiting for Rey to absorb all he had just said, and then Rey was waiting for Adrien to say something else.

Hence, the two remained quiet for nearly a minute. In the end, though... someone had to speak.

"I can recommend you to the Storm Dragon Lord if you are exceptional in the Inter-Class Exchange, since I'm sure he will have his eyes on the event just for me." Adrien spoke with a slightly deflated sigh.

"If you manage to impress him, he can also take you under his wing. The two of us can use this opportunity to latch on to him, and we will both have early connections to the Capital without waiting for the Third Year internship."

This was the most solid plan that could emerge from the discussion, and while it meant Rey would have to go out of his way to gain the attention of the Storm Dragon, it granted their ultimate plan additional security.

They would also be able to achieve their goals earlier than previously projected.
