Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 114 Weird Sera!



Chapter 114  Weird Sera!

"Though the conversation wasn't long, at least she took a step." Luis uttered with a smile while thinking inwardly, 'Since she tried what I asked of her, she deserves a reward. Hmm, but what should I give her?'

Shaking his head, he decided to think about it later and brought his focus back to Sera.

'So anyway, this Sera differs somewhat from what I remembered about her.'

'If it was normal, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to start a conversation with Alicia.'

'But she did and even praised her looks. Which was kind of hard to believe given how she usually acted aloof, not expressing what she felt inside.'

'Even in the game, it was hard to make her open up.'

'She did have a massive change in her personality. But that was after her father died in their third year of the academy.'

'After her father died, her obsession with Alex also went to the extreme.' Just thinking about it, Luis' body shuddered.

"Lily, aren't there more videos of her performance?"

Her only highlight in the test was her battle with Alicia and, for the rest of her battle scenes, they were just some weak candidates.

Lily shook her little head and answered, {No master, she didn't get much spotlight from the start and when she did; she was eliminated by Sister Alicia soon after.}

"That's disappointing," Luis mumbled while rubbing his chin.

After a momentary pause, Lily said, {Master, after the test was over, she inquired about your information.}

"Oh?! That's interesting!" Luis raised his left brow and asked curiously, "What kind of information?!"

{Your basic information and identity.}

Hearing this, Luis was thoughtful, 'Is it because I ranked first that I attracted her attention?'

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Was there any contact between her and the core targets?"

{Yes Master, after the test she made contact with the core target, Alex Stain.}

When Luis heard this, his eyes widened in surprise and then a serious frown appeared on his face.

'Sera made contact with Alex? What is going on here?' n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Show me that video!" Luis asked in a deep voice.

Lily nodded, and then she started playing a recording. In the video, Luis could see that after the exam was over, Sera made contact with Alex and the two of them had lunch together.

The restaurant's camera was a bit far from them, so their conversation couldn't be heard. However, just from the observation alone, anyone could see that in their conversation with each other, Sera seemed very enthusiastic. Which was unexpected, given her aloof personality.

After lunch, the two of them went separate ways and returned to their hotels. Then there was no further contact between them for the rest of the day.

Luis had a calm expression on his face as he watched the video until the end. Then he closed his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath.

Until now, none of the core targets had differences in their personality. But in Sera's case, he needed to pay attention.

"Lily, can you interpret the context of their conversation from their lips movements?"

{Sorry master, the recording isn't clear enough and the camera angle is not good, given their seating position.}

"I figured," Luis was only a little disappointed, as he said, "Keep an eye on them Lily, and if they meet again, tell me."

{Yes, master.} Lily answered with a nod.

Luis could see that there was something very wrong here.

Normally, at this stage, Sera and Alex should have just been strangers.

But from their looks, it can be seen that they are quite friendly with each other. Or maybe acquainted enough to be eating lunch together.

'I have seen Alex, but I didn't converse with him enough. So I don't know if this change is because of him.'

'As for Sera, her personality does seem different, especially while talking to Alex.'

Luis was thoughtful as he made up his mind to test them later. Then a question came to his mind, 'Do they know each other from before?'

Thinking of this, he asked, "Lily, were they in contact before the test started?"

{There is no such record, master.} Lily uttered.

Luis had expected that to be the case, but this question still bothered him. 'How did Alex and Sera get acquainted?'

*Sigh*

After sighing, he decided, 'Just by thinking about it, I won't get any answers. I better look into it later.'

As he was planning on how to make contact with them, his eyes fell on the restaurant's video again and he muttered in annoyance, "Still, what's up with this restaurant, in this age of technology, there's only one camera and that too is of such poor quality."

With a slight frown on his face, Luis asked, "Lily, what's the name of this restaurant?"

{Krocadal's Kitchen.} Lily answered.

"What a weird name." He mumbled.

{The food there is very popular among the students. It's just that the place isn't classy enough.}

"Is that so?" Though curious about the food, he still had an annoyed expression on his face. If the restaurant had some better-quality cameras, he wouldn't have been so troubled and might have found some information from their conversation.

'Sigh, what am I doing, blaming them for?'

'I should complete that project fast, then I wouldn't be so troubled about surveillance.'

...

"By the way, what's Alex's rank?" Luis asked.

{19th.}

"Hmm, not bad I guess."

{If he didn't encounter you. His rank would have been higher.}

"That's his bad luck. How am I at fault?"

{... Right.}

---

After observing a little more information about the core targets. Luis checked the summarized information that Lily had prepared from the rest of the exam. But in the end, he didn't find anything of relevance.

By the time he was done, Luis saw that it was already midnight.

"I better sleep now, or else I might be late for the date tomorrow."

With a slight smile on his face, Luis lay on his bed and some minutes later, fell into a deep sleep.

While inside another room, Alicia was having trouble sleeping.

'Just when will this night end already?'
