"Your prejudice...will hurt you one day." When Irina heard these words, she couldn't help but sneer in her heart. 'Oh, you're just a piece of crap.' Last time, when they finished exploring the maze, Irina realized that she was lacking in team management. Morse showed her the gap between the two and how she was unfit to be a leader. Although she knew she was the strongest in the team, sometimes, strength was not absolute. When she understood this, she began to admire him a little and thought that he at least deserved to be in this team. Although Morse was annoying and different, I began to appreciate his different talents. However, all these ideas collapsed when she entered the school forum. She developed a habit of checking the Arcadia Campus Forum website every day because it was the best place to communicate with seniors and learn about school information. Copies, study materials, clubs, homework...
Even for a talented mage like her who came from a prestigious family, academy life was full of challenges. Thanks to Julia and Alice's advice, she started using the site. However, as she browsed the site, suddenly, she encountered something unexpected. The Shame of Being the Last in the Academy This was the title of the post. Normally, she would not read such a boring article, but for some reason, the word "last" caught her attention. "It might be about that guy." Her guess was correct. When she started reading the article, her eyes widened because it revealed many pictures of him, places he had been, and people he had talked to. Even his bank account information was leaked, showing a large amount of money from unknown sources. However, that’s not all. The post even included testimonies from three girls. ——He forced me to date him. ——He had seduced me and raped me. ——He threatened me to do something I didn’t like, and if I didn’t listen, he said he could kill me at any time. Three articles that made her sick were all listed in the post. As she read the post, she began to contrast his attitude in the past with the current situation. 'I see……' She realized this after seeing the identities of the victims. They were all ordinary citizens and had nothing to do with the hunter industry. 'The reason why he acted indifferent in front of me was because he knew he couldn't do anything to me.' When she thought back to his attitude, she looked at the girls in the posts. They were all just adolescent girls, and now they were in tears and looked haggard.
She watched with unconscious rage as their futures were destroyed. One of them had dropped out of school, while the others had become depressed and locked themselves in their rooms. 'You piece of crap.' Finally, she vowed to make this guy pay the price. Although the article said that he got in through connections, she knew that it was not easy to get into this college. But even so, this guy did not train to improve his strength, but acted recklessly and messed up their lives. Countless people wanted to enter this academy and made great efforts...but this guy did nothing and wasted his time doing this kind of thing. That was why she hadn't wanted to talk to him in the first place. No, that was why she had been staring at him. Because she knew that if she didn't come from a powerful family, she would also be a victim. But now, standing before her was something different. The guy she once thought liked to do whatever he wanted and didn't train hard was now standing in front of the lava dragon lizard. She saw that in that second, the guy shot two arrows in succession, the first arrow pierced the wound, and the second arrow exploded from the inside. "What?" "How...how is it possible?" Erica and Leon stood there, stunned, looking at the monster's body lying on the ground. Both knew that as the last-ranked students in the academy, it was impossible to hit the monster, let alone kill it. Byron was the first to voice his thoughts. "Morse...what did you just do?" His tone was mixed with awe and a hint of resentment. "If you can do it, why didn't you do it in the first place?" Morse was accustomed to this kind of questioning and was not surprised at all. He glanced at Byron and said casually, "No one asked." These words sounded more like a mockery, and Byron obviously had no intention of letting him go. "Are you making fun of me?" He walked towards Morse angrily and was about to grab him by the collar. However, Morse dodged it easily with one smooth move. "Keep your hands to yourself." His purple eyes stared at him coldly, and most importantly, they looked down at him. Byron's rage grew, and the realization that Morse didn't take him seriously made him even angrier. He was just the weakest one in the academy, and he dared to look down on him. Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Irina intervened, her voice firm and authoritative. "Byron, stop. There's no need for this. We still have a mission to complete." She turned her gaze to Morse, who looked cold and contemptuous. "You just used explosive arrows, right?" "right." "I won't ask you why you didn't tell us about these arrows." "You already know the answer, that's good."
"Tsk... I really want to smash your face right now." "So what's stopping you?" "I'm different from you. I care about my grades." "So, if your grades weren't affected, would you have taken action against me here?" "Yes." "I see." After saying these words, Morse simply nodded, as if to indicate that this was exactly how Irina should react. Seeing him looking at her like this, Irina's anger completely exploded. She couldn't help but ask: "Isn't that how you treat others?" "I treat others the same way? What does that mean?" However, his innocent expression... "you!" This made her even angrier. To him, those actions seemed natural, as if he had done nothing wrong. "Tsk...you bastard." After saying this, she turned her head and started to leave the place. Now that the Lava Dragon Lizard has been defeated, the internal structure of the copy will change after they leave here, and Irina just wants to complete the task as soon as possible. She didn't want to look at his face again. Just like that, the team started moving forward again, and everyone looked at Morse and Irina from time to time. ...... “I think this is the right path.” "Really? This is a super easy way. I knew Mason was right." On the other side of the dungeon, eight people were walking and talking. The tunnel was a little dim, but not so dark that it was completely unclear. "But when can we get out of here? It's been dark for quite a while." One of them asked, his eyes looking forward. A girl with short white hair led the way with a smile on her face. "Don't worry, we'll be there soon." She turned around, her blue eyes twinkling in the darkness. "I see...then we'll listen to you?" he asked, as if seeking confirmation. Since someone was leading the team, everyone naturally thought she was the captain. "I don't like giving orders. We just need to crush them all the way, right?" However, the answer they got was not what they expected. "Sylvie can heal us while we fight. Isn't that the way warriors fight?" "Well... As expected of a Middleton family member. Miss Julia has the demeanor of a warrior." He smiled awkwardly, responding to an answer he didn't expect. "I...I'll try my best." Sylvie was a little uneasy, her voice trembling.
During previous explorations, she gradually became familiar with her teammates, but she was still afraid of monsters and fighting. "I'll protect you, don't worry." Mason said in a relaxed tone behind him, his green eyes shining. "Thank...thank you." This was someone Sylvie had known before. They were from the same club. They were arranged as a group on this expedition, and Mason was assigned the responsibility of providing rear protection assistance. However, she still felt a little uneasy around other people, especially in the dungeon, and her fear was still there. Before this, she was just doing her own healing work and supporting Julia from the back, but this time, she felt that the monsters were stronger and looked more dangerous. "We're almost there, I feel a powerful presence." Julia said, and just as she finished her words, suddenly, everyone heard a long roar coming from the tunnel. “Ouch——!” That's the sound of a wolf. whoosh! At this moment, something suddenly came out of the darkness and locked onto the team members. "careful." call! Sylvie felt a strong wind blowing in her face, and she instinctively lowered her head, thinking someone was about to pounce on her. She staggered and took a step forward, then she felt a strong hand grab her arm and steady her. "Huh, are you okay?" Mason's voice came from behind her, sounding a little nervous. Sylvie looked up in panic, seeing Mason coming so close to her in his sudden help, and for a moment she misunderstood the situation, thinking he was lunging at her. "Um, I'm... I'm fine," she stammered, looking away. "Too... too close." She pushed Mason away, and he immediately understood and distanced himself. "Feel sorry……" She noticed an arrow stuck right where she had been standing. Her eyes widened as she realized something. "So it was a trap..." she said, her voice trailing off as she realized the danger they were facing. Mason followed her gaze and saw the arrow as well. "Yeah, we almost got hit." Sylvie breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, I thought..." Mason smiled, trying to lighten the mood. "You thought I jumped on you?" Sylvie's face instantly turned red. "No... No! I mean... But not like that! I just..." Mason smiled and patted her shoulder gently. "It's okay, Sylvie. We have to stay alert. It looks like there's trouble ahead." Sylvie nodded, feeling a little relieved, and the fear in her heart subsided a little. She could feel the 'pure' emotions in him and he had no motives to hide, which made her happy and she felt that she could relax a little now. However, she didn't know that when she turned her head and looked forward, Mason showed a smug smile. 'It seems this trick is quite effective.
The reason why he was able to help Sylvie in time was that these traps were set by his accomplices in order to gain Sylvie's trust.
