Chapter 125: Now What?



I ran away to a nearby coffee shop. After ordering a drink, I let out a deep sigh.

I have done my part now rest is up to the heroes and hunters of Silva City.

I checked the time on my smart bracelet and it showed me that the time was 3:20/pm. There are still 40 minutes left before the S-rank dungeon explodes.

Before that, they managed to clean up the dungeon from the inside everything could be solved easily.

I could go back to Academy City and prepare for the upcoming plot but I know that it's not as easy as it sounded.

To enter an S-rank dungeon one must have at least [A+] or [A] ranked and I think there are not many[ A] ranked heroes or hunters here at Silva City.

Silva City is a small city that was built for tourism and that's why there are not many powerful heroes here.

'There are like 14 [A+] and 25 [A] heroes here... I guess?' but still I think might be not enough.

There is only one [S-] ranked hero here at the moment and her name is Professor Lillian Ashbourne.

In the novel, because she joined the fight against the monsters that are coming from S-ranked dungeon, that's how the heroes manage to hold off monsters before reinforcement comes.

If she had not joined the fight then everyone from class would have died there, including Adrian and the other main cast.

Even so, the casualty of death went to thousands but it is worse.

"I think this time not that many people will die," I muttered to myself as I took a cup of coffee that the waitress left for me and took a sip.

Then something unexpected happened and I didn't like it.

The waitress in front of me was giving me a coffee to a customer stopped, not her but everyone else stopped.

It's like time had stopped moving.

"What the fuc-"

I could not even count as strange words appeared in front of me in the air.

My eyes widened as I suddenly got this strange filling in my guts as it kept writing and stopped.

I read the words that were written there.

[Did you forget about me, Lucas? I'm kind of hurt you know?]

Fuck! Why every time I think are going my way some fucker came and messes everything up.

"What do you want? And why do you show yourself right now? You know I forgot about you."

[All the time you asked questions, Lucas. That's a bad habit it makes you lose your fast.]

All of things went back to normal, time started to flow like nothing had happened.

It's like nothing happened here in the first place.

"Fuck my luck," I muttered to myself. As I decided to leave the cafe

But before I could, however, something happened.

At that moment my smart bracelet glowed and suddenly let out a grating, echoing ringing sound. A second later, the sound repeated.

...And it wasn't only just him. Every person in the cafe, from the clients to the members of the staff, was receiving the same notification.

My chest grew cold.

I knew that sound, of course. Everyone in the world knew and dreaded it.

Looking down, I saw the familiar text appear on the screen of my smart bracelet.

'No...'

The notification read:

EMERGENCY ALERT

EMERGENCY ALERT

S RANK DOUNGEN HAS BEEN EXPLOED AT THE EDGE OF SILVA CITY!!! ALL THE NERBAY PEOPLE LEAVE THAT AREA!!

EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY!

Shit! Now what should I do? Because of that bastard things mess up.

Is this bastard trying to tell me no matter what I do things will happen like that in the novel?

Fuck.

-What should we do?

-Are we going to d-die?

-First, let's evacuate from here immediately!!!

My thoughts were broken by the shouts of other people in the cafe. All the colours have left their faces as they tried to evacuate from cafe.

'Now What?'

I don't know.
