Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 97  Betrayed Luis!

Kevin's lips twitched. From what he remembers when watching Luis' performance, the only time he fought a hard battle was with Alicia. For the rest of the test, he was playing in the easy mode.

Strolling around, watching others fight, eating snacks, instant-killing enemies, interrupting someone's confession and so on.

What kind of survival test was that?

[In what ways did Mr. Luis find this test hard? Would you like to tell us?]

Luis nodded and said, "Finding your way through the terrains and searching for other candidates to hunt... I mean eliminate."

Kevin's eyes squinted as he asked, [What about your battles? What do you have to say about the strength of your opponents?]

Luis showed a somewhat bored expression and said, "As you might have seen. Leaving my battle with Alicia aside, my other battles shouldn't even be considered a battle. It never went beyond a few moves."

"What can I say about their strength when they can't even face me long enough to exchange moves? They are just too weak now for me to evaluate them."

Although what Luis said might have sounded arrogant. The people who have watched his performance couldn't help but agree.

Of course, the eliminated candidates who didn't meet Luis in the test were very dissatisfied with his words.

"Damn! He is so arrogant!"

"Just because he ranked first, he thinks he is some hotshot?!"

"It's probably luck. He must be hiding somewhere and not finding powerful opponents."

"Just let me see him later! I'll beat the shit out of him!"

---

After that, Kevin asked a few simple questions from Luis and Alicia, ending the interview.

"Thanks to the two of you for answering my questions."

"It was our pleasure," Luis replied on behalf of both of them.

With that, Luis and Alicia left the stage. The benefits of their ranking are something that they would receive later and they will be notified by their mana bracelets.

[Everyone, so this is where we conclude today's events. Thank you for joining us on this occasion.]

---

After leaving the stage, Luis turned on his mana bracelet and asked.

"Lily, where is Mom at this moment?"

The next second, Lily's childish voice sounded.

{Master, Mom is at the VIP box number 7!}

Under Lily's navigation, it didn't take long for them to arrive at VIP box number 7.

Just when Luis was about to knock on the door.

*Clack*

It was opened from inside and standing in front of them was Lumine, who was looking at them with a smile. "Come in."

"We are back." Luis and Alicia said in unison.

But just when Luis entered the box, he felt a sudden chill on his spine.

'What was that?'

He looked around and saw his dad, shaking his head helplessly, and standing beside him was Uncle David, who was looking at him with an unfriendly gaze.

At this moment, Luis knew. He fucked up!

While trying to maintain his composure. He greeted them with a calm smile.

"Hello, Dad! Hello, Uncle David! When did you two arrive?!"

Ronald showed a wry smile and said, "After your written test began. Also, good job Ranking First in the exam."

"Well, thanks!" Luis smiled nervously as he glanced at David beside him.

"... Don't you have some explanations to do, brat?!" David said while restraining his anger.

Luis nodded and said, "Shall we talk after lunch?"

"..." David didn't answer and continued looking at him with hostility.

"I'm sure Alicia must also be hungry," Luis said while gesturing towards Alicia.

Hearing this, David finally signed and said, "Fine, but after lunch, I want a proper explanation. If your answer doesn't satisfy me, be prepared to receive a punch from me."

'Receive a punch from you?! How is it any different from death?!'

With a horrified expression, Luis turned to look at Lumine and Ronald, begging them to save him.

"Don't think about it! Your parents aren't going to save you this time!" David said while gripping his fist with his palm, showing a fierce expression.

Luis felt betrayed. He looked at Lumine at Ronald as if asking whether what he said was true or not.

But the two of them directly ignored him by turning their heads away.

Alicia was left standing there confused, not understanding why her father was so angry with Luis.

She remembered their conversation with Mira. 'Is it something related to that?'

She wanted to ask Lumine, but since Luis was ready to talk after lunch. She decided to wait. After all, as Luis said, she too was quite hungry at the moment.

Although the VR world doesn't have any physical exertion, she could still feel mentally tired.

So, with an awkward silence between David and Luis. The five of them, along with the napping Ivy, left for a popular restaurant where Lumine had made a reservation.

***

While Luis and the others were on their way to have lunch.

Inside the stadium, several students were looking at the ranking list displayed on the screen with a variety of expressions on their faces.

"My rank is at the bottom. Fortunately, I survived long enough to qualify."

"At least you qualified, brother. I couldn't even qualify," a failed candidate said with a depressed face.

"Are you going to try other academies?"

"What other options do I have? It's just my bad luck to meet the first-ranked student and be eliminated early. Otherwise, with my strength, I could have made it."

"What? Were you eliminated by him?!"

"Yeah... Sigh... Not only me. He also eliminated many others."

"Huh?! Just how many people he killed?"

"Just look at the kill ranking on that board."

"There's a kill ranking too?"

The student turned to look at the kill ranking and his eyes widened in shock.

"What the heck?! Am I seeing it right?!"

"I had the same reaction before."

"217 KILLS!!! Just how is it possible? The test was only for 120 minutes. In that short time, he not only needs to look for opponents but also fight them. How did he do it?!"

"I want to know too." The failed candidate sighed and said. "Competing with such a monster, how can we normal people have any chance?"

*Sigh*

"The world is unfair."

***

"Fourth Rank, huh?! Not bad, I guess," Emily mumbled while looking at the Ranking list. Although she wanted to get the First rank. She knew it was quite difficult to achieve.

'If only I didn't meet that powered-up monster. Maybe I could have reached the third rank.' She thought while reading the name of the person who came third.

'Seraphina Evansville...?! Hmm... That name sounds kinda familiar. Is it the Evansville Family from the Aiverson Empire?'

"It should be." She mumbled while looking at the first and second names.

'That annoying guy seems to be more powerful than I thought... I didn't expect him to be a Novice Rank.'

Emily was very surprised when her Elven royal guard told her that Luis was a Novice.

'He is quite good. I just wonder how his future achievements will be.'

'Anyway, so that's his fiancee that he was talking about, huh?! Alicia Raven, another Novice Rank! Both of them are quite an interesting pair!'

'But looking at her, she doesn't seem to be the type like how he described.' Emily thought while remembering the interview that she watched a few minutes ago.

'She is also very beautiful, almost equal to me. How can he be reluctantly accepting her?'

Emily shook her head with disdain.

'As expected, a man is a deceitful creature.'

Though she still has to admire him for having the talent to lie with a straight face.

'In the end, the top three are from the Aiverson empire. They have quite outstanding talents. They must be quite happy.' Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'Ah! No, I guess?!'

Emily thought while looking at Princess Ursula in the distance, who had a worried expression on her face. Then at Prince Thomas, whose expression was very extremely ugly.

"What kind of expression is that? Did he eat shit or something?"

The Elven Royal Guard beside her sighed, already used to her personality.

This Royal Guard had been protecting her from a distance since earlier. He was also there when Emily and Luis met at the Ice cream shop. But since Luis didn't show any hostility towards the princess, he didn't come out.

Moreover, he had already ascertained Luis' identity at first glance, so he didn't attack Luis for disrespecting the princess. Also, it was Princess Emily's fault.

However, if the matter had escalated, he would have attacked him, regardless.

Fortunately, it seems everything went better than he had expected. Not only did Princess Emily got acquainted with the heir of the Suarez family. But also had to control her rotten mouth in front of him.

'It seems that they will become good friends. Just like Hero Henry and her father, His Majesty the King.'

***

Different from the expressions shown by other people. A green-haired girl sitting in the corner was full of disbelief and confusion.

'JUST WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON HERE?!!!'
