Conquering The Game's World

"Hehe, Cobert did a good job." Luis chuckled as he turned off the hologram to stop observing Cobert and Olivia. Yes, he had left a button drone hidden in the rubble.

"Lily, send the video of Karlos and William inside the cabin to Professor Olivia."

{Yes, Master.}

'With this evidence about William's crime. Now, the academy probably won't make his death a big issue.'

Luis was thoughtful.

'But still… What a mistake… How could I let a fish slip out?'

Normally, he wouldn't have cared about a minor mistake. However, Olivia, being a fishing connoisseur, caught him off guard.

'From next time, I shouldn't let such an accident happen.'

While he was deep in his thoughts, the hovercar had already brought him back to the academy.

"Sir, we have arrived at the destination."

"I see." He snapped out of his thoughts and got out of the hovercar.

'Hmm, I've recovered a quarter of my mana. Guess, their no need to use a mana potion now.' Luis entered the academy gate, while he also activated the gravity spell on himself.

As his body felt the familiar pressure again, his nerves and muscles tensed up, and a drop of sweat appeared on his forehead.

'It seems like I'm still tired because of the fight earlier.'

With no intention of removing that spell from himself, the sweaty Luis walked towards Professor Cyndy's lab.

---

A few minutes later, he arrived in front of an enormous building with a vast dome-like glass structure on top.

"Lily, is this the place?"

{Yes, Master.}

Luis kept staring at the building while thinking in his mind, 'Wow, it looks so much different in reality. In the game, it didn't look like much.'

Although, a little amazed, that was it. After being in this world for the last few months, he had already adapted to many things. So, the beauty of such architecture doesn't surprise him much anymore.

Luis pushed open the door to enter the building and as soon as he did, he heard a surprised voice.

"Huh, Luis? How come you are here?"

He turned to see a red pony-tailed beauty wearing glasses staring at him with a surprised expression.

"Oh! It's Miss Rura." Luis saw her and greeted her with a polite smile.

Rura walked towards him. "I told you already, you don't have to use honorifics with me. Didn't Alicia agree the same on our last dinner?"

"No way!"

"Quite blunt with your answer, huh?" She stared at him with narrow eyes.

Luis shook his head with a helpless smile and answered. "Of course, I must maintain some distance. Otherwise, I'm afraid you might fall for me."

Rura's lips twitched, and she stared at him speechlessly.

Luis straightened his back and stood upright. "Although I know I'm handsome, please don't stare at me with such intensity. I'm already engaged. This is unbecoming of a young lady like you to be interested in an engaged man."

Rura deadpanned. "I'm not interested in narcissists."

"You shouldn't be, either." Luis nodded.

Rura's brows twitched. 'Why is he talking like he isn't one? Seriously, I need to talk to Alicia later. Maybe her fiancé needs a psychologist.'

"Luis, can you stop messing with me? Otherwise, I don't mind inviting Alicia to my flat for a one-week-long sleepover."

They were the second most threatening words Luis had heard in this new life. 'One week?! Hell no!'

"Am I invited or not?"

"Nope."

Horrified, Luis immediately said in a pleasing tone.

"No, sister-in-law, I was wrong. Please, don't be so cruel to me. Do you want me to call you without honorifics? No problem. Just don't invite Alicia to any such sleepover."

Rura didn't expect her threat to work, but regardless, she was satisfied. "Good, remember your promise."

Luis nodded and asked. "By the way, why are you here, Rura?" Even though he already knew about it. He still pretended to be oblivious.

"I have chosen Professor Cyndy as my mentor for direct guidance."

"Oh?" Luis showed a surprised look. Then his eyes fell on the box of potions she was holding. "Where are you carrying these potions?"

"Oops! Because of your arrival, I almost forgot. There's a patient Professor Cyndy is administering. She asked me to bring these potions to her." She said and wanted to leave in a hurry, but she still stopped and asked. "Though you haven't told me your purpose for coming here?"

Luis smiled and said, "It's for the same patient you are talking about."

"Is that so?" Rura wasn't quite clear about the situation yet. She only knew that the patient's case had something to do with being drugged. 'Luis must know something about it.' She thought. However, she didn't ask. Right now, delivering the potions was the priority.

"Since that's the case. Then follow me. I'll take you there."

"Thanks!" Luis smiled and spoke. "Let me hold it for you." He took the box from her hand and helped her carry it. Although she didn't need his help, the box's weight was nothing to her. She didn't mind seeing her brother-in-law work hard to please her.

***

As Rura lead Luis towards the operating room. They came across an elven girl with a cold face sitting in the waiting area.

"Miss Sufi."

Luis' voice brought her attention to the two of them. Her frown relaxed a bit after seeing him.

"You are here. Where's Mr. Cobert?"

"He is with Professor Olivia, helping her with the investigation."

"Um," Sufi nodded and stopped talking further.

Rura glanced at the two of them with some curiosity after listening to the contents of their discussion, but it wasn't time to talk about it. So, she took the potions off Luis' hands and entered the operating room.

The two sat there in silence, but neither felt awkward about it. Rather, they were more comfortable this way. Luis used this time to recover his mana. While thinking of the captured criminals.

'Maybe it's time to focus on that project soon. Besides, because of the pseudo bloodline awakener, I may need to change some of my plans.'

Sometime later, Rura, along with a busty pink-haired woman wearing a researcher's coat, came out of the operating room.

She looked at Luis and Sufi as the two of them walked towards them.

Sufi immediately stood up and asked, "Professor, is Bonnie alright?"

"Don't worry, she is safe. The drugs they gave her only made her unconscious; it didn't harm her body." Cyndy assured.

"Phew~ Thank Yggdrasil." Sufi's frown relaxed as he let out a relieved sigh.

"However, I would keep her under observation after she regains her consciousness. Although I hope not, but just in case she is traumatized."

Sufi nodded. Even though she believed Bonnie wouldn't be traumatized as nothing traumatizing happened, since they saved her in time, and she was completely unconscious. She still felt it was better to leave it to the professional.

Cyndy, after observing Luis for a few seconds in silence, turned to Sufi and asked. "Student Sufi, is this student?"

Facing her doubts, Sufi didn't let her continue the question and answered with a nod. "Yes, Professor, he is my teammate, and he also took part in the rescue."

"I see." Upon hearing that, Luis also helped to save Bonnie. A kind smile appeared on her face.

"Hello, student. I'm Cyndy Hernes. You can call me Professor Cyndy."

Luis stood up and said in a polite tone. "Nice to meet you, Professor. I'm Luis Suarez. I've heard a lot about you."

For his praise, Cyndy felt like Luis was only being polite. Unexpectedly, Rura on the side, asked with a teasing smile.

"Oh? What have you heard, Luis? I am interested to know what kind of things you have heard about my mentor."

"Rura," Cyndy wanted to stop Rura. To not make Luis embarrassed. Although she was quite popular in the field of medicine and alchemy. She didn't believe everyone would know about her. At most, he might have heard her name. That's it.

Unexpectedly, before she could resolve the situation. Luis had already spoken.

"Of course, I don't mind."

"Eh?" Rura didn't expect such a response. Sufi stared at them in silence and Cyndy wondered, did Luis truly know?

Luis gestured towards Cyndy and started speaking in a tone full of admiration.

"Professor Cyndy a.k.a. Cyndy Hernes. From the Hernes family in the southern region of the Aiverson Empire. She is the second daughter of Conness Hernes, the legendary cook. Popular with the nickname 'Cuisine Hunter'."

Cyndy eyes brightened when she heard his words. However, Luis didn't stop. He continued speaking as he pointed at Cyndy.

"Because of your father's love for cooking and his passion for exploring the ingredients from all over the world. You have come across a lot of herbs and monsters' parts in your childhood."

"As you started learning under your father at an early age. This also led to you having an interest in exploring the uses and benefits of those ingredients. You were determined to become a superb cook, just like your father. When an incident happened."

"STOP!!!" Cyndy interrupted him.
