Chapter 56: ’Kill the Scumbag!’

Chapter 56: 'Kill the Scumbag!'

More than a month has passed since Luis arrived in this world. His strength has been improving steadily. His daily training under Lumine and combat experience in dungeons made him develop faster. The same can be said for Alicia. Under Lumine's guidance, her swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds.

At the breakfast table.

Lumine, who was eating her breakfast, looked up to see Luis and Alicia, who were eating quietly, and a soft smile appeared on her face. For their growth in the last month, Lumine can only say she was very proud. She was certain by the time the Academy starts, these two will be at the top among their peers. Moreover, with a wide margin.

Finishing her breakfast, she neatly placed the spoon on her plate. Then, gently wiping her mouth with a napkin, she called out, attracting everyone's attention.

"Luis! Alicia!"

"Huh? What is it, Mom?" Luis asked subconsciously.

Alicia also looked at her, but because Luis had already asked, she just showed a puzzled expression.

"You two have been working hard for many weeks and the result is also quite good."

When they heard her praise, a smile appeared on Luis and Alicia's face.

"But excessive hard work is also not good. Your body and mind also need rest. So today will be your rest day."

Hearing this, Ronald, who was reading a dungeon article through the hologram, also nodded in agreement. "Indeed, rest is also important."

For the last few days, Luis had been very busy with practice and dungeon runs. But now that he has a day of rest, maybe he could spend some time studying spells. 'I should read new Lightning Spells.'

As if reading his thoughts, Lumine immediately said. "No studying and research." Glaring at Luis, she said. "You are prohibited from entry into your lab."

"Wha?" Luis wanted to complain

"Rest means rest." But Lumine was stubborn.

Alicia, who wanted to continue practicing swordsmanship secretly, under Lumine's gaze, also reluctantly nodded.

***

Under Lumine's suggestion. Luis and Alicia decided to go on a date.

"What do you want to do, Alicia?"

Just when Luis was thinking of asking her whether to have dinner outside and maybe continue their date a little longer. He received a call from Jack.

"Hmm, Jack?"

Luis' steps halted and so did Alicia's.

"Pick it up. Maybe it's something important."

Jack knew that they were on a date and with his character, he wouldn't disturb them unless it was an urgent matter.

Luis nodded and picked up the call. The next moment, Jack's hologram appeared in front of them.

"What is it, Jack?"

With a serious expression on his face, Jack said.

[... Master Luis! There is movement on the target's side.]

As soon as Luis heard this, his eyes became sharp. Alicia also looked at him as if asking for something, seeing him nod and confirming her thoughts. Her eyes also became fierce.

"Keep tracking him. We are on our way."

With that, the call ended. But the mood of Luis and Alicia was difficult to describe. Luis could feel the faint killing intent Alicia was emitting.

"Calm down, Alicia. It's not time yet."

Hearing Luis' words, Alicia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. But the killing intent didn't diminish one bit. Instead, she became even more and more excited.

"Let's go to the guild first."

Alicia didn't speak a word and just nodded. But Luis knew she was the most excited person currently. For all these years, she had been searching for their traces and now she was so close to finding some clues. How can she retain her composure?

"Don't get excited early, Alicia. Let's first find out what happened."

"I know."

Their current location wasn't far from the guild. Twenty minutes later, they were standing outside the guild building.
