My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer

After Megan left, Luke sat down in an armchair, picked up a book, and began to pretend he was reading. In fact, his head was taking in all the information that Balance had acquired. Keeping his eyes open, Luke began to concentrate to get inside his soul.

Luke and Balance then met again, they were both in that white, brightly lit, confusing room. Now the feeling of being there was a little less uncomfortable as if understanding that energy made that place more stable. Luke now didn't feel guilty about that gigantic energy, which came from the death of hundreds of innocent people.

It was not a lack of empathy, but an understanding that he could not do anything about the catalyst of that flow of power. Something he also realized was how his mana did not decrease but rather increased over time. Which made him understand that these souls just started a process, like a spark that started a flame that only increases.

Therefore, cursed items are much more powerful than one can imagine.

"How interesting, you being able to see me even with your eyes open" Balance said, giving a gentle smile.

"It's not much different than sleeping with your eyes open" Luke replied.

"Well, here is everything that I saw...that you actually saw" Balance said, as he held out one of his hands.

A small square began to show all the memories on the pages, as Balance has full access to Luke's soul, it was possible for the Goddess to explore his memories as well. Although it was impossible for Luke to memorize each page, the Goddess could capture those memories in the half-wolf's soul and transmit them back to the young man.

Balance gave access to one of these windows to Luke, who went about controlling the memories with his hand, moving forward and back as he wished. The Goddess did the same, the two of them would search together for what was interesting in those memories.

"I see... It doesn't look like there is any really dangerous information, just student grade reports.... My God" Balance said, as he watched

Luke turned to Balance confused, "What did you see?" he said.

"Oh... Megan has had perfect grades since she entered the academy, she has never received a grade lower than the maximum. That's a little impressive" the Goddess said. Luke gave a small smile, "Yes she really is an impressive girl" the half-wolf replied.

Balance gave a small smile and interested questioned the wolf. "Aren't you thinking of adding her to your harem?" She said, letting out a small laugh. Luke lifted his head, scratched one of his ears and turned to Balance, "I don't imagine she likes me. But sometimes I think about getting more wives, it would depend on whether Ayumi or Alexis have a problem with that.

It's been hard to resist Meredith" he said.

"Isn't it easier to just accept them? I mean. Nathalia and Meredith..." Balance questioned, as he crossed his arms.

"Well, Ayumi was not against Alexis joining, and since Alexis is the second wife I don't imagine she will complain. It might be interesting to increase my harem... But Nathalia is a bit more complicated situation" The half-wolf was thoughtful, scratching the back of his ears.

"Anyway, let's get back to analyzing the books" Luke concluded, while shaking his head as if trying to change his thoughts.

In the real world, Alice was still sleeping peacefully, but if for some reason the girl ended up waking up, she would have the sight of a half-wolf staring at a book, with her body motionless and blinking a few times.

"I found something a bit worrying Luke" Balance said, the half-wolf then asked "Any information from Melki?". A certain silence remained in the air, until Balance returned to explain, "Adrian's family was killed by the empire"

This news surprised Luke a little, after all, that blond haired boy was too cheerful a person to have such a tragic past. He showed no anger against the empire, but this past explains a little of the boy's aversion to conflict.

"I wonder if Megan knows, would that make her fight less with him?" Balance questioned. "Really, sometimes Megan is a little too cruel," Luke concluded.

The two were having a quiet conversation, but checking the memories was not as simple a task, both the lighting and the very time it took Luke to flip through the pages were factors that made that situation difficult.

"How did you manage to shake so much when it came time to flip through the pages?" Balance said.

"It's easier to see now, I was trying to maintain a certain speed while checking the files" Luke replied, irritated.

Most of those documents didn't have anything very interesting, they were just histories of the grades and a little of the general background of each student. Data like whether the parents were alive or where the person came from, the only strange situation was the case of Megan and Alice, both had no parents on their transcripts, the only mention of family members was from one sister to the other.

"So, shall we go straight to Hawk's content?" Balance said, as he approached Luke. The half-wolf nodded, crossing his arms.

Balance then held out both arms and opened a window of memories. The two were attentive, watching as Luke went through Hawk Vermillion's files. The folders had a complete description of the person, hair color, date of birth, gender, species. But one thing was confusing in that document, Hawk's father was not listed within the documents.

Only his mother was mentioned, a woman named Katharina Vermillion. This caught the attention of the two, who began to theorize the answer to this. They quickly came to a conclusion

Balance crossed her arms as she thought, "They are trying to hide Hawk's family... But it is a common fact that he is connected to Melki's empire," Luke turned to her, with a look that showed suspicion. "There is a possibility that Hawk's connection to the empire is just a rumor, but maybe... Maybe Hawk's father is an important figure in the empire" Luke concluded.

That made sense, after all, Aoi Wintergift had confirmed to Luke the connection between the empire and Hawk. It was obvious then that Hawk's father was someone high up in Melki's empire.

"Well... Aoi probably has access to those documents... It all makes sense now" Balance said, as he stretched.

"Yes, so he's not just a member of the nobility, he's an important member of the nobility..." Luke concluded.

This made the understanding of the academy's political situation a little clearer for Luke. The demons were connected directly with the aristocracy of Melki, and in the interest of taking advantage of the academy, an isolated land, they were using children of nobles to enter the academy and gain influence. The question that remained now was how many nobles were working for the empire.

Luke and Balance decided to go ahead with the project of investigating the secretariat another day, for now, they needed more answers. But checking the documents was not such an efficient way, like a fisherman looking for a specific fish in the middle of a gigantic sea, finding answers in these documents would not be such an easy task.

The night was already turning into dawn, when Luke's body fell asleep, without his control. However, Luke and Balance continued to focus on their studies, not realizing that the half-wolf was already at rest.

Luke and Balance began to check the documents regarding Zhanid, and the quantity was vast. In fact, just the folder from his time as a student was already amazing. Zhanid in his student days had made many contributions to the academy, having created several systems, as had Alice and Megan.

Much of the material for classes, research, and even laboratories had been planned with the mage's support, before his twenties. When Zhanid turned twenty-one, he left his student council position and wandered the world for a while. Exploring ways to develop his magic and his knowledge of magic crafting.

Even this task was not yet completed, after all, Zhanid had recruited Luke when he was returning from a trip to the continent of Zhao.

All this made Luke more interested in the old magician's support. But with each piece of information that the half-wolf got about Zhanid's deeds, a greater doubt arose in his mind, after all, why did Zhanid recruit him? Why did he accept Luke and Meredith's request to bring them to the academy?

These were all questions that Luke was interested in resolving, but as the sun dawned again, a piece of news surprised everyone.

Luke awoke to Megan calling him; the girl was now dressed. Alice remained lying on her desk, in the same position Luke had last seen her.

"Zhanid has left for a trip, but don't worry, Alice and I have already made enough progress in our research." The girl said.

Zhanid had left on a quick trip out of the academy. But what the significance of this was was something that was still unclear to Luke or anyone else.
