Charlus was finally going to exit the 'tutorial'. He noticed that he was unable to get Exp no matter what he did after levelling up. He had just checked before coming to LA itself at the forest in Lewisville. He would finally be able to figure out what was wrong.

”I just want to know what your problem is with this lady. Surely she hasn't done anything to you.” Charlus smiled at Juan, the boy who he had attacked.

Juan suddenly looked at Eva who was starting to twitch. The rest of the people who had come with Juan suddenly rushed forward. They took out strange papers from their pockets and pointed them towards Eva. Charlus saw a strange golden light that blinded him. In this time he felt a jab to his stomach. He was able to see who punched him before falling unconscious.

Charlus woke up and found himself in a strange room. He saw that he was surrounded by similar beds and figured he was in the infirmary. Charlus got up and looked around.

The room was empty. Charlus just sat down and took something out from his inventory. It was a book. He started reading, waiting for someone to come and check on him.

20 minutes later, someone came in and noticed that he was awake. It was a middle-aged man. He quickly left the room. When he came back, he was accompanied by a similar-looking young man who seemed to be in his twenties.

”Hullo. Did I scare you off?” Charlus asked the middle-aged man but didn't get a response. The young man looked coldly at Charlus and spat out a question.

”Who are you? Who sent you?”

”Me? I am a transfer student at your dau- Whitney High School. I came yesterday and got into this mess.”

Charlus slipped up. He saw that Eva and this person had the same last name and he assumed that they were father and daughter. The young man was able to catch it. He immediately brought his hand to Charlus' neck.

”How did you know the relation between my daughter and me? Which of my enemies sent you?”

Charlus paled. ”None of them! You look a lot like Eva, that's all. And I met Eva today, that's all!”
