Chapter 227: Virtual Arena (1/2)
When Yman arrived at the Inn, his latest model MTMD made a tone. It was a dry and normal tone to notify the owner of the new mail.
He sat on the edge of the bed and quickly opened the device. He could guess who the sender was.
If not Bob and the others, it was either his Sister or Miss Pai. At first, when he log-in to his old account in this new model MTMD, a flood of messages almost caused his device to overheat. Most of them were from his Sister, Miss Pai, and weirdly, from the anonymous person!
The anonymous was asking about his location and what happened to him. But Yman disregarded it. As long as he didn't know the real identity of the person, he could not disclose his whereabouts.
He decided to call his sister as he was sure that she was worried about him by now. They had a heartfelt conversation later on. After all, there were only two of them as a family in this world. He learned that her health did not get any better. She also said to him to come back as she was worried for him. Yman just smiled and went silent. He could not say yes as he wanted to bring the medicine with him when he decided to come back.
Next, he asked Yana to pass the device to Miss Pai. He wanted to ask about the academy.
The news that Miss Pai filled him had surprised him. She said that the city was now developing. All was because of him!? And the others. He was puzzled as to why he was one of the causes. Miss Pai then told him everything he needed to know.
Yman gawked upon hearing him. Never would he have thought that he was one of the people who would get a percentage of income in the dungeon.
Put aside the latest talk he had with them, the current mail was as expected, it was from Anonymous! The message said:
[_/]Anonymous:
[Hi! Sorry for disturbing you again. Uhm… I guess you are quite busy today… Uhm… (Thinking Emoji)... The truth is… I successfully advanced to a higher level! (Cheer Emoji) Sorry for babbling nonsense and sorry for taking up spaces of your device with this random message of mine… uhm… (Shy Emoji) (Shy emoji) actually, the coming days will be the start of the inside competition in the academy… I'm just hoping that perhaps, you could at least watch the event. See ya! (Doki Doki Emoji)]
”.....”
Yman was dumbfounded at the message. Who could it be? He asked in mind. A secret admirer? He shook his head. That was impossible. He thought.
Regardless, the anonymous talked about the inside competition of the academy. 'Could it be what this person meant was the competition in Zone 7?' He was guessing.
And why does this person like putting emojis in his/her message?
Anyway, the competition in the academy of zone 7 will also start in the coming days. I needed to return then.
But before that, there was also the summon from the empress of Encantasia. Based on the letter on the parchment, the exact date was the third day to come.
”.....”
Looked like he would be going to have busy days this week.
After closing his device, he gazed through the window. It was still early in the morning. Some people would pass by as they hurriedly flew away.
Sigh.
He let a sigh escape from his mouth. Then focused his attention and transmitted on his scouts that were currently scouting on Rea.
One of them was parking on the branch of the tree, in front of the window of the student council room. The other one was crawling on the ceiling.
He saw Rea talking cheerfully with the student council president and her beautiful cousin.
From time to time, Rea would send glances in the direction of his scouts. Maybe she was anxious? Or maybe not. He could not read her thoughts, so don't expect him to know!
Sigh.
After letting another sigh, He suddenly heard his Deity's question. She was currently sitting on the bed beside him.
”Nothing-- ugh!”
Just the only word came out of his mouth.
Yman held his head. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He wondered why it happened, maybe he was just tired.
Sistela glanced at him
”Ha? Uh… Yeah!”
Yman shook his head to clear his vision. Sistela on the other hand, tilted her head.
When his vision was back to normal again, he took the 5d-Seer device in his pocket and positioned himself, lying on the bed.
”My deity, please take care of me,” he said and smiled at her.
Sistela assured him as she flew on top of his chest.
He then clicked the 5d-Seer device. Then a rectangular screen appeared in front of his face.
Inside the screen, he could see the menus. He went to check his Ranker status.
