Chapter 368: Artifact Frenzy Quest [2]

"Hmm? Where is Lucas? Is he late?"

Sarphina muttered under her breath as she gazed at closed door of student council president office.

Lucas is already late by 10 minutes, and Sarphina was tired of waiting.

At that moment, one of three maids that stood behind her took step towards her and said.

"Lucas can’t come today, there is an practical class going of first year hero cadets. He already called me beforehand."

"Ahh..I see."

A disappointment sigh escaped Sarphina mouths.

Looking at her, A maid couldn’t help but taken back by Sarphina reaction.

’Is she sad because Lucas didn’t come today? How unexpected!’

Wild thoughts were running in maids head.

But only if she knows the real reason behind the Seraphina disappointment she would be swet drop.

’So Lucas isn’t coming today, well It’s fine my training dummy also need some rest.’

That was Seraphina thoughts.

There was reason why Seraphina was telling Lucas a trening dummy.

Unlike other whom she spar in the past, Lucas was different.

His movements, his skills, his technique are all expectional. Experience new stories on novelhall.Côm

And more then that, Lucas could counter attack Seraphina attacks.

Of course, she is also not going all out since it’s nothing but training spar but still it didn’t mean that she was going easy on him.

Any normal cadet wouldn’t able to handle her attack.

’I knew it, his hiding something.’

Seraphina thought with narrowed eyes.

Because of technicians with extraordinary technology, excavation sites looked more like futuristic underground bunkers.

"Hey, hey, don’t step on my foot."

"Ah! Somebody hit me."

Cadets were led underground together.

Fifteen were placed on the first floor, and twenty-five on the slightly bigger second floor.

Evelyn was placed in the middle of the third underground floor. Elera was also nearby, placed on a balcony connected to the third floor’s residential area.

Their fight was inevitable.

As for me, I was placed in a small room on the fourth floor. Unfortunately, I didn’t know where Adrian or Aric were placed.

...And I also didn’t know where Sunny was.

Well, that guy could handle himself. He’s more than capable.

At that moment, I noticed movement from the opposite door. With my mana eyes and a bit of focus, I figured out who that person was.

And, of course, it was Isabella.

Considering the layout of the floor, I needed to cross her to get out to the hall.

In addition, I was in Team Black, and Isabella was in Team White. We were enemies.

At that moment, a loud voice rang out from the speaker above me.

—Artifacts are being kept or moved by NPCs. Team White must protect the artifacts, and Team Black must steal them. Now, we will start the countdown.

The opened doors all closed, and the countdown began.

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Once the countdown ended, the blinding magic disappeared.

Today, I decided not to use a sword because I’ve been using it too much lately. This was a good opportunity to use my bow.

’Now Let’s do this.’
