When the sun rose in the morning, Kieran was already on his way to the cafeteria.
"Morning!"
The teachers who were cleaning the campus greeted him. Kieran didn't reply, only nodding in response.
The First Seat was punctual every day and was always the first to appear in the cafeteria. The teaching staff in E Block of Theorate had gotten used to him after spending some time with him.
He might seem cold, but he wasn't arrogant at all.
He wouldn't look down on others.
Although all sorts of rumors had proven that the First Seat wasn't someone to be trifled with, he still followed the proper manners.
More importantly, he wouldn't act recklessly just because he was powerful.
It was what the faculty valued the most in Theorate.
As the lowest rung in Theorate, they were always in a nervous state and didn't feel safe at all.
They were afraid of running into something that would put them in a difficult spot.
However, it wouldn't be the case for Kieran.
As long as you didn't provoke Kieran, you would be fine.
You might even get a certain level of safety.
Someone noticed that wherever the First Seat went, there wouldn't be any monsters from the Mystic State appearing for a short period of time, be it day or night.
It was great news for the teachers who were responsible for all sorts of work in Theorate.
Therefore, they treated Kieran more warmly than before.
Despite Kieran being cold, it was the same.
"Set A, B, C, and 5 servings of each, coming right up!"
When Kieran walked into the First Seat cafeteria, the teacher behind the counter ordered the food before Kieran could say anything.
Kieran nodded to express his gratitude before he sat down and waited patiently.
The hunger in his stomach hit him like a tidal wave.
It was his own and Gluttony's.
Kieran was good at controlling his hunger since food would appear soon. As for Gluttony …
"I told you not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs!
When you catch prey, you should eat it bit by bit, don't eat it all at once!
But what about you?
You opened your mouth wide, you wanted to swallow the whole building! "
Kieran scolded Gluttony in his heart.
Gluttony immediately whimpered as if he was wronged.
He didn't know the beasts in Theorate were so cowardly. He had split the food into two portions, but they all ran away.
If he had known this would happen, he would have eaten them all at once.
He really missed that elephant-like exotic beast. The first bite he took, his mouth would be filled with meat. The second bite, when he licked his mouth, it would still be filled with oil.
"Secret, Secret Land."
Gluttony stuttered.
"Not yet."
"With my current identity, I can't enter there."
Kieran instantly understood what Gluttony was thinking.
Gluttony wanted to enter the Arcana Dungeon and eat his fill. In fact, he was also curious about the Arcana Dungeon.
But at this moment, he was unable to leave.
Theorate's anniversary celebration was about to begin.
Kieran wasn't interested in the celebration itself. He didn't like crowded places. However, Kieran was very interested in the 'battle for delicacies'.
Under such circumstances, he could endure it if there were more people.
The gathering of the Dark Eaters would also take place around the same time.
There must be a lot of good stuff there.
Of course, the most important thing was that Professor Smith.
It had been a few days, but Smith still didn't show up. He didn't even leave any traces behind. It alarmed Kieran.
"I hope you don't make a move during the anniversary celebration and mess up the whole thing, otherwise …"
Since Kieran was determined to get his hands on all the food and items traded with the Dark Eaters in the Delicacy War, he had already treated this anniversary celebration as his forbidden land. Anyone, anything, or anything that dared to touch or disrupt the celebration would be annihilated from head to toe, from body to soul. Nothing would be spared.
The aroma of food started to appear.
Roasted beef and chicken skewers.
Green peppers and potatoes.
Milk, oatmeal, and wontons.
All sorts of different styles of food were mixed together, whetting Kieran's appetite. He suppressed his thoughts and focused on eating.
Five minutes later, Kieran wiped his mouth, picked up the plate, and put it in the sink.
When Kieran left the First Seat cafeteria, the freshmen arrived at the cafeteria one after another.
"Morning, First Seat."
"Morning, First Seat."
Along the way, the freshmen greeted Kieran politely.
Just like how he greeted the staff, Kieran didn't say anything, all he did was nod in reply.
The freshmen weren't surprised by Kieran's reaction.
Unlike the staff, the freshmen spent more time with Kieran, so they knew what kind of person Kieran was.
He might be cold, but he wasn't someone difficult to deal with.
That was what everyone thought.
Amidst the greetings, Kieran went back the way he came. From afar, he saw Gutti standing beside the dorm, holding a thick stack of documents in her hands.
Kieran frowned when he saw the documents, but he didn't run away.
Since he received the corresponding reward, he should put in the corresponding effort. With such a simple thought in mind, Kieran walked over.
"Morning, Branch Leader.
These are the documents you need to sign. I'll come back for them in the evening.
And … are you free at night? "
Gutti mustered her courage and asked carefully after passing the documents to Kieran.
"No."
Kieran shook his head right away.
The cafeteria had the braised pork set that he was looking forward to, he didn't have time to deal with other stuff.
"Oh, oh.
It's fine, I'm just asking.
I'll come to you at night. "
Gutti let out a dry laugh and ran away.
Kieran didn't even look at her back as he walked up the stairs with the documents.
He was used to Gutti's split personality.
One moment, she was serious, the next moment, she was chatting awkwardly.
She had to do this a few times a day. Fortunately, Kieran was adaptable and had a strong mind, otherwise, he would have gone crazy.
Far away from the freshman dorm, Gutti was hiding in the bushes, banging her head on the tree trunk in front of her.
Bang Bang Bang!
The heavy bangs proved that Gutti wasn't joking.
At the same time, the creaking of the tree trunk and the angle of its tilt proved that every hit was a solid one.
"The 520th failure!"
"Failure hurts!"
"But I won't give up!"
"The harder it is, the stronger I will be!"
After a series of squeaks, Gutti took a deep breath, patted the dirt off her forehead, and walked out with a smile.
…
Dak Dak Dak.
A series of hurried footsteps later, Standler appeared in the corridor with excitement, anxiety, and anticipation.
"Morning, First Seat.
"The Tree Wailer has appeared again!"
I must get to the bottom of this and find out the truth of the incident! "
When the First Seat's assistant brushed past Kieran, he quickly greeted Kieran and informed him before vanishing in a flash.
Kieran couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Standler run out like the wind.
After going through so many so-called school legends, Standler didn't curb his curiosity. Instead, he became more energetic and started to chase after one school legend after another.
Of course, Standler was destined to be disappointed.
But …
"Not bad."
With the praise, Kieran opened the door to his dorm.
Many LCD screens occupied the entire room.
Aside from the washroom, even the corridors and bedrooms were full. On these LCD screens, most of the situation in Zone E was displayed.
"Are you sure?"
Kieran asked Lester as he put down the documents in his hand.
"I've locked on to the two most likely locations.
These guys haven't improved after all these years, they're still using the same old tricks.
So, I'm sure it's here. "
The former Dark Eater smiled and pointed at a spot on the LCD screen.
"Leaky Spoon Alley?"
Kieran muttered to himself as he looked at the location on the screen.
Leaky Spoon Alley was a branch alley in E Block. It fit the terrain of Theorate perfectly. It seemed to be close to the main academic building, but it would take a long time to reach it.
It was the perfect place to set up a secret meeting point.
All Kieran had to do was send out a few guards to watch the main street. Should anything happen, everyone would be able to spread out into the branch alley.
Unless all the guards in Theorate were mobilized and locked down all the branches, no one would be able to pose any threat to the branch alley.
"Keep an eye on this place.
Also, continue to search for Smith. "
Kieran ordered.
"Yes, my lord."
Lester looked serious when he heard the name Smith.
He had covered the whole E Block with surveillance cameras, but he still couldn't locate Smith. Smith either left Theorate a long time ago or was hiding in one of the few areas.
However, Kieran didn't allow him to place surveillance cameras in those areas.
The former Dark Eater was obedient to Kieran's words.
Even though he didn't know why Kieran did it.
All he knew was that it was Kieran's arrangement.
Amidst the tapping of the keyboard, the surveillance cameras were activated once more. Amidst the unusual tapping, Kieran's communicator beside him rang.
It was Professor Tyrese.
"The Proper Meal class food you want is already with me."
When will you come and get it? "
"Right away."
After Kieran replied, he waved at the former Dark Eater and headed to Professor Tyrese's office in the garrison.
Kieran was familiar with the route, and no one stopped him. Half an hour later, Kieran walked into Professor Tyrese's office.
The kind professor wasn't in a good state.
He had dark circles under his eyes and looked haggard, it seemed like he hadn't rested well for a long time.
As for why?
Kieran knew it very well.
So, he looked straight at the metal box on the table. Through the glass on the box, he saw a plate of golden … steamed eggs!
[Name: Energizing Steamed Egg]
[Type: Food]
[Rarity: I]
[Attack: None]
[Defense: None]
[Attribute: Golden Blessing (Incomplete)]
[Effect: None]
[Able to bring out of dungeon: Yes]
[Remark: Energizing Steamed Egg is a replica of the Golden Steamed Egg. It is also a precious food that appeared during the golden era, but without the main ingredient, the Golden Egg, its effects were greatly reduced.]
…
[Golden Blessing (Incomplete): Replenish, optimize body attributes]
…
[Note: When food is out of the storage box, its rarity will drop over time.]
…
Looking at the attributes of [Energizing Steamed Egg], Kieran showed joy in his eyes.
He suppressed the joy and restlessness in his heart and looked at Professor Tyrese, who was rubbing his swollen temples. "Thank you," Kieran said sincerely.
"You don't have to.
These are what you exchanged for with equal value. "
Professor Tyrese waved his hand with a smile, as if it was only natural. However, Kieran knew if it wasn't for Professor Tyrese, it wouldn't be [Energizing Steamed Egg]. One needed to know that when Kieran exchanged for a Proper Meal class food, Kieran did mention [Golden Blessing].
No doubt Professor Tyrese remembered it back then.
"If you run into any trouble with Smith's matter, I can help.
Consider it as me returning the favor. "
Kieran picked up the box and left after saying that.
Professor Tyrese couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Kieran's back.
"What an awkward personality.
Helping others is always an excuse to return a favor.
But … "
"He's not a bad person."
Huu!
Professor Tyrese took in a deep breath, enduring his exhaustion and entering his work mode again.
It wasn't just Smith's matter, the upcoming anniversary celebration also exhausted him, especially when he heard that the Sil Inner Sect and the Ryde Family were fighting fiercely outside the school. It forced him to be 120% vigilant.
One thing worth noting was that at least two of the Sil Inner Sect members were in Theorate.
No one knew what the two of them would do next.
If the Ryde Family wanted to take revenge on the Sil Inner Sect and sent their men to Theorate …
Unconsciously, Professor Tyrese's temples hurt even more.
He didn't know how many years it had been since he had such a headache.
What was going on recently?
Why did so many things always happen?
Ding!
Just as Professor Tyrese was exclaiming, an irritating alarm sounded.
Professor Tyrese stood up and ran outside in a hurry when he saw the blinding red light.
As Professor Tyrese ran, an inexplicable premonition rose in his heart.
The alarm this time was related to Kieran again!
…
He grabbed the box of Proper Meal class food and headed back to the student dorm with a heart full of joy.
However, when he got close to the dorm, a figure stopped him.
The figure was holding a bow in one hand and an arrow in the other. His eyes were filled with hatred, and his aura even froze the air around him.
Some vermin even ran away in all directions.
Kieran was sure it was the first time he saw the figure.
He didn't know why the figure hated him so much.
However, Kieran sensed the malicious intent and killer intent in the figure.
So …
"Do you think you can peacefully spend the rest of your days in Theorate after Garcia's death?
I will make you understand … "
Bang!
Duyer 'er said coldly, but a foot landed on his face at the very next moment. Duyer' er did not even have the chance to dodge.
Immediately, that cold face began to distort, and his entire body spun as he flew into the air.
