"You won't use your fists to treat me like this, will you?"
Renata looked at Kieran with a sweet smile.
"Em."
Kieran nodded seriously, kept his fist and dished out a kick.
Fuung!
The kick landed on Renata's face and scattered the phantom-like figure that couldn't be seen by normal people before it landed on Renata's face.
Bang!
Renata was sent flying away again as she couldn't dodge the kick.
However, Kieran controlled his kick well, preventing Renata from crashing into the wall. Instead, he spun in the air and landed face first beside Jemara.
The moment he landed, Renata climbed up again.
"Not only can you see my Ghost of Appetite, but your legs are also able to restrain it!"
Renata didn't care about the swelling on her face. After confirming her guesses, a never before seen panic rose in her heart, making her agitated.
The Ghost of Appetite was a very special ability.
It could even be considered as a gift. From a certain aspect, it was almost invincible.
It wasn't just formless, it wasn't afraid of physical attacks and was immune to most elemental attacks. On top of that, it was absolutely loyal to its controller.
Therefore, Renata was very proud of having the Ghost of Appetite along with some secret techniques. She thought she was the strongest among the students.
Even Tai, the First Seat of the 5th year, she could defeat him if she was serious.
However, Kieran's appearance shattered her pride.
After the first fight with Kieran, Renata had doubts in her heart.
Not only could he see the Ghost of Appetite, but he was also able to restrain it. It made Kieran feel uneasy.
That was why when Jemara wanted to challenge Kieran again, Renata chose to go with her.
Now, the uneasiness in her heart was confirmed.
Most people would think about how to solve the uneasiness, but if they couldn't solve it, they would choose to run away.
Renata was the same.
Since her abilities were restrained and she couldn't defeat Kieran, the thought of running away bloomed in her heart.
Kieran naturally captured the girl's emotions.
Although Renata's face was swollen, the shine in her eyes was obvious.
This was something that Kieran absolutely did not wish to see.
If Renata chose to run away, it would affect Jemara, Dale, and Tai, who Kieran treated as food suppliers.
This was something Kieran would not allow.
So, he pointed at Jemara, who had stopped twitching but was still unable to get up. "Compared to her, you're not even worth mentioning."
It was obvious that Jemara didn't get along with him.
Besides, compared to Kieran's words like 'you're really good' or 'you can defeat me as long as you work harder', such provocations were more appropriate in Kieran's eyes.
"Really?"
"That's because you don't know my true strength …"
Bang!
Renata flipped her hair and was about to lean towards Kieran.
Aside from her swollen face, even a normal Renata would be worse than a bowl of braised pork in Kieran's eyes.
So, Kieran punched Renata's stomach out of instinct.
In an instant, the fourth-year student bent over like a shrimp, clutching his stomach and convulsing non-stop.
During this process, the First Seat of the third years recovered from the pain.
"Next time, I will win!"
Swordswoman said with a sonorous voice.
At the same time, a Bento Exchange Voucher was passed to Kieran.
Bento Exchange Voucher was exchanged with academic points at Theorate's general affairs office. As the name suggested, it could be exchanged for a Bento class food.
She then helped Renata up and took out another voucher from her pocket, passing it to Kieran.
"I'll wait for you."
Kieran took two Bento vouchers and replied in a serious tone.
Of course, Kieran didn't forget to provoke Renata a little.
"To you?
I don't have any hope left.
Please stay away from my sight from now on, you arrogant stray dog! "
Kieran then opened the door and signaled the two of them to leave.
Swordswoman was cold, she didn't look like she was twitching on the floor, but Renata was different. Her face was swollen and her stomach was twitching non-stop. She glared at Kieran fiercely, her eyes almost spitting fire.
"Don't think you can get carried away just because you beat me twice!
Next time, I will make you beg on your knees! "
Renata squeezed her voice out through her clenched teeth.
"You were the one who knelt just now."
Kieran said slowly.
"You … UGH!"
The infuriated Renata wanted to say something, but the pain from her stomach made her twitch again. She couldn't even utter a word.
After seeing the two of them off, Kieran curled his lips into a grin when he closed the door.
He knew his long-term meal ticket was back online.
Kieran was in a good mood, so he put the two new vouchers together with the two he had gotten during the tutorial class and the fast food voucher he had gotten during the freshmen tutorial class.
"Four Bento class food and a Fast Food, it's enough to exchange for a Proper Meal class food.
Too bad the General Affairs Office of Theorate doesn't have a regular exchange system for Proper Meal class food, it's only available at the end of the school year. "
Kieran touched his chin.
He didn't forget the main mission's description. He would stay in this dungeon world until the end of the school year at most before leaving.
Although he had gotten the chance to enter the dungeon again, no one knew when that time would be.
So, if he wanted to exchange for Proper Meal class food, he would have to think of another way.
Unlike when he first entered the dungeon world, Kieran now had a sufficient network of connections, allowing him to easily acquire Proper Meal class food.
Kieran picked up his communicator and called Professor Tyrese.
Among all the people Kieran knew, Professor Tyrese was no doubt the best candidate to exchange for Proper Meal class food.
"Four Bento Exchange Vouchers and a Fast Food Voucher for a Proper Meal class meal?"
"No problem."
When do you need it? "
After Kieran stated his intention, Professor Tyrese agreed right away.
"As soon as possible."
Kieran replied.
"How about during the anniversary celebration?"
Professor Tyrese gave Kieran a time frame.
"Sure."
Kieran nodded after calculating that it would be less than two weeks.
After that, both of them didn't exchange much pleasantries. Kieran said goodbye and hung up the communicator. He then looked at the rumor about the crying gymnasium and the heirloom inside the gymnasium on the table.
Both of them had nothing special about them.
They were just like the school legends, no one could tell if they were real or fake.
But the people who used them …
Kieran squinted his eyes, his gaze turning cold.
Surveillance was fine because it was what Kieran wanted, but it didn't mean Kieran would let them scheme against him and not do anything about it.
Since they had malicious intentions, they would have to bear the consequences.
Death was a decent outcome for those people.
…
That night, Theorate fell into silence after a day of bustling.
Standler, who was carrying a backpack, and Maica, who was in his sportswear and tactical gloves, snuck out of the dorm.
"Here!"
Marv, who had been waiting for a while, waved at the two of them.
Unlike Standler and Maica, Marv was fully armed this time.
He was wearing a black camouflage uniform with a military backpack and a gun holster around his waist. The gun handle that was exposed from the back told everyone that the holster wasn't just for show.
"You are exaggerating!"
Standler commented on Marv.
"It's better to be prepared, the First Seat is waiting for us. Let's go!"
Marv, who had ulterior motives, diverted the topic with a smile.
"Let's go!"
Standler nodded excitedly.
In the evening, the three of them visited Kieran again. Kieran agreed to go with them, but he would wait for them outside the gymnasium.
Standler and Maica didn't object to it.
From their point of view, Kieran going with them was the biggest guarantee.
As for being unsociable?
They were used to Kieran's independent ways.
Only Marv, who had a smile on his face, laughed coldly in his heart.
The freshman representative had his own speculations about Kieran's behavior.
There were only two reasons for arriving at the gymnasium early.
First, to check if the place was safe.
Second, to check if there was really a secret.
The second reason was obviously more important than the first.
"Too bad … you won't find anything and you will walk into a trap step by step!"
Marv's heart was picturing Kieran being severely injured by those bastards' ambush, maybe even dying in a horrible way. He was looking forward to it even more.
He couldn't wait to replace Kieran.
So, when Marv saw Kieran standing quietly under the streetlight outside the gymnasium, he was astonished.
Or did those bastards' ambush fail?
It was impossible!
Those bastards were very powerful and they were hiding in the dark, not even the First Seat could escape unscathed.
So …
He didn't go in?
What luck!
But he wouldn't be this lucky all the time.
Marv quickly put away the thoughts in his mind and put on a smile again.
"Good evening, First Seat."
Marv greeted Kieran together with Standler and Maica.
"Em."
Kieran nodded.
"According to the files, we need to work in pairs to trigger the so-called Crying Gymnasium, so I'll team up with Maica and First Seat, you and the weaker Marv will team up. Is that okay?"
Standler asked.
"Sure."
Kieran was a man of few words and gave an affirmative answer.
"Not a problem.
I was a little worried at first but with the First Seat in the same group, I'm completely relieved. "
Marv nodded repeatedly with a smile.
The arrangement might seem reasonable but it was actually the result of him hinting many times that he was weak and needed strong protection.
Everything was as he expected. Standler, who was considered a good person, considerately arranged him and Kieran into the same group.
"It's really useful.
Then … when I become the First Seat, you will still be the First Seat's assistant.
As for Maica?
It's a little troublesome, it's better to get rid of him. "
Unlike the naive Standler, Maica was also a simple and direct person but he had the instinct of a wild beast. More than once, Marv noticed the suspicion flashing over Maica's eyes when he sized him up.
Before he had any concrete evidence to back up his suspicions, Marv had to get rid of him.
Even if it was to cover up the operation tonight.
Theorate's gymnasium was different from other schools. It wasn't locked and the inside wasn't a basketball court either, it was … an arena!
One big and six smaller arenas, a total of seven arenas.
Every year during the school anniversary and the end of term, the arena was the liveliest place.
Around the arenas were the same seats as the other schools but the number of seats was a lot more. Even if there were tens of thousands of people in the arena, it wouldn't feel crowded.
Therefore, the arena took up a lot of space.
Kieran and Marv were in the same group and Marv entered the gymnasium first with the torchlight in his hand.
Standler and Maica saw the two of them off and when the torchlight was about to fade, Maica frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Standler saw the frown on his friend's face.
"I feel something is wrong with Marv but I can't tell what it is."
Maica didn't hide it from Standler.
"You're probably thinking too much."
"Besides, don't forget who he's with!"
"It's the First Seat.
It's not the others.
Come and have a look at the map I prepared, our adventure is about to begin. "
Standler waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I guess you're right.
That's the First Seat we are talking about. "
Maica smiled and tossed his doubts to the back of his mind.
…
Dak, Dak, Dak.
Footsteps sounded clearly in the dark gymnasium, echoing in the spacious corridor. The torchlight was like a straight lightsaber, slicing the darkness apart.
"First Seat, according to the map, if we go straight, we will reach the arena in block A and after that, we will reach the rumored location, the core ring."
"Rumor has it that the two of them were hanged above the core ring.
But that is just a rumor, no one knows what the truth is. "
"First Seat, what do you think the truth is?"
"First Seat?
First Seat? "
Marv said as he walked, but suddenly, he noticed something wasn't right.
Kieran, who was walking side by side with Marv, suddenly disappeared.
Marv skipped a breath.
He was sure Kieran was still beside him a moment ago.
He even saw Kieran with the corner of his eyes and heard Kieran's footsteps.
"First Seat?
First Seat, where are you? "
Marv stopped and scanned the surroundings with his flashlight. The corridor made of cement looked a little cold under the illumination of the flashlight.
No!
No, it felt gloomy and cold!
There really was a gloomy and cold aura behind him!
It felt like a person's breath!
But a person's breath was hot!
And this person's breath was cold!
Every breath!
The gloomy and cold breath landed on the back of Marv's neck.
Goosebumps rose all over his body.
