Chapter 242: Incoming danger (1/2)

After leaving the Virtual Arena, Yman woke up to his room. But weirdly, he received many notifications from his 5d-Seer.

As expected, when he opened it, a smile was on his face. The number of people who sent him gifts had increased.

”What!!?” One of them almost had his jaw dropped on the floor. ”O-One hundred thousand Ranker Points?!” Yman exclaimed in surprise. His heartbeat started to pound faster than usual.

He could not believe that someone would give such a huge amount. ”Sweet Bun?” He read the name of the person who gifted him.

Yman wondered who it was. He could not remember knowing such a person. Aside from that, based on the person's name, Yman believed that she must be a woman and also a Ranker; because it was hard to believe that someone had a real name like that.

With this amount of Ranker Points, he believed it was more than enough to pay the borrowed points from Rea's department. Also, he got rich loot from that enemy he fought with just a moment ago.

Fufu, Yman mischievously laughed. If he sold those items later, he would surely get rich amounts of points.

Most of the gifts had the amount of five to ten thousand points. Only that one hundred thousand was different.

Wait, Yman pondered. Perhaps someone bet on his match? That amount of points was just unbelievable to gift. He assumed and believed that it might be the reason.

Aside from the notification coming from the gifts, he also received some notifications of challenge invitations.

He took his MTMD and checked the time, 4:35 PM, as he saw it.

After confirming the time, he stood up and picked his Deity, who was soundlessly sleeping.

His scouts did not transmit any ill intent towards Rea. Yman connects his vision to one of them. He saw Rea coming out of the student council.

After stretching his hands, he got up and left the room.

A minute later, ”Whoa--!!” Rea, who just got out of the building, was startled when someone jumped in front of her.

”Relax, it's me.” Upon hearing his voice, she calmed down. ”Are you trying to give me a heart attack?!”

”Not until I get the full payment of being your bodyguard.” He teased.

Tears were visible in her eyes. ”Does that mean… you didn't care if I got a heart attack?” For some reason, he felt like Rea was taking his words seriously.

”That's a joke… Of course, it's better that you are safe from any illness.” He said to ease her.

”Hmph! Eyma…” Rea mumbled. ”Haha—” Yman laughed descendingly at her reaction before he noticed something. 'Wait, Eyma?' He thought while blinking his eyes. Then, he stared at her and noticed her pouty face. ”Sorry for startling you,” he added.

Rea slightly widened her eyes. Never she expected to get a sorry from this man. ”A-Ahem…” she cleared her throat. Her face flushed with slight redness.

”What's the matter?” She asked.

”I've got enough points to pay your department.”

”R-Really?”

She was surprised after hearing it. Although five thousand points wasn't that big of an amount, it wasn't easy to earn, especially that he was a newbie Ranker only.

The two of them rode on his fire doll.

Rea was surprised once again. ”Where are we going?” She asked when she noticed they were moving in a different direction.
