Wicked Reincarnation

Chapter 116: Infiltration 3

Lia has never seen the male before, but she felt alarmed by his presence. He wasn't a student, and the way he walked gave off strong vibes yet mixed with carelessness and laziness as his hands were in his pockets and his blank face just looked tired.

The outer robe around his shoulders was black with bits of golden jewellery embroidered. Once Lasso saw this male, he stopped and bowed, "Commander!"

Lia instantly froze. She knew who he was. He was a part of Min's private army, on top of that the commander? That was the highest position. Lia didn't believe she would meet any of Min's men so quickly.

Yet he was not like how she imagined him. Despite his natural dominating aura, he behaved as if he was tame and unassuming.

"Timo's enough. No need for that title," Timo yawned and tilted his head. Lia calmed her nerves and tried to be as natural as possible.

She asked, "Is this really the commander? I can't believe I'm meeting someone as important as the commander!"

Timo seemed used to her reaction and Lia mentally sighed. This was the right approach.

"Just Timo's fine like I said."

"T-Then if you don't mind," Lia pretended to be nervous and bowed.

"What is the com- what would bring you here?" Lasso had to control his excitement, but it was visible he was shaking from joy.

"Getting familiar with the layout again. It's been years after all."

Lia got suspicious, "Are you perhaps staying longer?"

Timo nodded and suppressed any other yawn, "The Ghost King asked me to train and handpick some talented students personally. I just got some time, so I'll be staying here as a teacher. Pleased to work with you."

Lia narrowed her eyes slightly. This was a pain. She had to act extra careful if someone like him was here. She didn't expect this to happen but now she had to continue her act around him.

"I'm also a new teacher here! So, I'm happy to work with you too!"

Timo nodded again and then said, "I assume, I can take any free room in the teacher's dorm?"

"Yes, yes please," Lasso eagerly agreed.

"Well then, I'm off to the other buildings."

"Have a great day!" Lia shouted after him but hoped she wouldn't cross him too often. If he was going to be a trainer, he was outside most of the time and Lia inside. There was no way for her to meet him again.

The thing that puzzled her was why Min wanted Timo, the commander of his entire army, to teach students personally. Was it to gain stronger soldiers for his army?

But why? Just what did Min have in mind next? Was it against the hidden families or something else?

"Miss Kim, here's your office," Lia subconsciously followed Lasso while she was immersed in her thoughts. She quickly recollected herself and thanked him.

"If you need anything else, don't hesitate to ask me. My room's on the ground floor of the dorm," then Lasso left, excited and probably hoping to talk to Timo more.

The office was quite spacious with all the essentials needed. A big table, various drawers and a comfortable-looking armchair.

Lia sat down and instantly looked through the pile of documents. There were maps of the buildings' layout. She would need to remember them later. Her timetable along with some other information also had to be memorised.

Finally, Lia looked through the documents of the students. All 300 students with their picture, class and background information were attached.

Hopefully, Lia could find the target as soon as possible and didn't need to go through all the documents. However, it was best to, after all, memorise everything.

Next to the pile of documents was another pile and several books. These were used for the exams. All kinds of exam papers laid there, already categorised, along with the answer sheets. This made it easier for Lia.

She turned her attention back to the students but was surprised to find out that information about the teachers were also there.

Excluding Lia and the headteacher, there were 30 teachers in general. If each building was laid out like building 1, then there were 10 students per 10 classrooms, which meant the teachers were understaffed. But it didn't necessarily mean that all classrooms were used.

Lia remembered the headteacher talking about there being rooms for the students to study in. But that thought was brushed away, she would later ask a teacher to inquire about that.

First, she had to find her target. After looking through the A students and moving onto the B students, Lia finally found the person in C, wanting to become part of Min's private army. This was proving to be complicated.

His name was Zero. He had the striking blonde hair that almost appeared to be white and that angelic smile Susa was talking about, and his green eyes were unmistakable. He was a good-looking young guy who seemed to be obedient and lovely.

Lia hoped he would be easy to interact with. After Lia managed her way through all the documents, Lasso came back.

"I forgot to tell you. At 3, we'll be welcoming the new students. We'll be at training field 3, you'll see on the map provided for you. They're going through the last batch, but it's best if you come to the teacher's dorm at 2.30, ok?"

"Ok, thank you!" Lia smiled at Lasso, and he, satisfied, left. Lia still had an hour. Hopefully, Nana made it through.

Lia took out the map of the academy and examined it in detail. Past the gate was, after a short walk, training field 3, the first thing Lia saw when Lasso led her around.

On the left side was building 1 with training field 1, in the front and right of it connecting to building 2 was training field 2. In front of building 2 was training field 3. Right to building 2 connecting to building 3 was training field 4, and in front of building 3 was training field 5.

Behind building 2 were the dorms separated into 4. One for the teachers and 3 for the A, B and C students. This was fairly easy to remember.

So basically, in front of every building and between every building was a training field.

The academy was quite large, and it was visible how ambitious Min was.

At 2.20, Lia left building 1 and arrived in front of the teacher's dorm where she saw Lasso and several others. Lia greeted them and was introduced by Lasso. Shortly after Timo also joined, causing a small commotion under the teachers.

Then they headed to training field 3 where the stage was already set. The teachers seated themselves on the stage while Lasso checked the microphone as he had to give the speech.

The old students and new students would mingle together at the welcome event. The new students occupied the lower floor's classroom while the second and third years respectively the mid and higher floors. However, the third years only occupied the highest floor in each building as they were mostly doing their training and going out on field missions.

Lia had the time to ask the teachers about the buildings and got to know that building 1 had 7 floors with 100 students, building 2 had only 75 students on 6 floors as less wanted to be stationed in the Mortal World and those that went there only wanted to be part of Yano's team, and building 3 had 8 floors with the most students of roughly 140.

Then the welcome event began, and amongst all the students, Lia didn't find Zero but silently breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the excited figure of Nana.
