Conquering The Game's World - Chapter 145 Impulsive Alicia!

Chapter 145  Impulsive Alicia!

*Shrwing!*

Unsheathing her sword, Alicia thrust it at Olivia with all her might.

*Swish*

*Ting! *

With her two fingers, Olivia blocked Alicia’s sword, which was just a few centimeters away from piercing her right eye. Then, with a smile, she said, “Wow! No mercy at all!”

Alicia’s frown deepened upon seeing her attack fail, but she knew there was no turning back now. Despite being completely outmatched, Alicia was ready to fight relentlessly. Just when she was about to get aggressive with her attacks. Luis’ voice sounded.

“Stop it, Alicia. You can’t do anything to her.”

Luis felt a headache, wondering why Alicia was being so impulsive out of a sudden. ‘Even if she is angry. She should think before she acts.’

*Sigh*

‘I’ll punish Alicia later. Let’s deal with the situation first.’

As he thought so, Luis glanced at Olivia and, with a calm expression on his face, he closed in the distance between them.

Alicia, who was about to attack, paused after hearing his words. While keeping her attack stance, she stared at the still Olivia with caution and spoke.

“I’m aware, Luis… but … she doesn’t care about saving those kids. You saw everything. Mr. Mayor trusted her so much and even begged to the point of crying. If she doesn’t want to help, why give them hope?! I can’t tolerate this kind of woman.”

“Calm down, Alicia. Professor Olivia was intentionally provoking us.”

“What…?!”

Luis pulled the stunned Alicia behind him. Then, observing Olivia, he asked. “Professor, care to tell us why?”

Olivia chuckled. “Well, I just wanted to see how you three will react.”

“Huh…?!” Alicia knit her brows in confusion. Then, with a serious expression, she said, “This is not funny, professor.”

“Yeah, I know. Still, your reaction surprised me, Alicia. Were you trying to make your professor blind?” Olivia showed a fearful expression. Then imitated Alicia’s previous tone. “When you said, ‘I can’t tolerate this kind of woman.’ That gave me goosebumps.”

Alicia didn’t care about Olivia’s impersonation of her, and while sheathing her sword, she said with a cold expression. “It’s better for you to be blind if you can’t see the importance of a rescue mission and are still in the mood to joke around.”

Her response wiped the joking smile off Olivia’s face, and Luis smirked. ‘Hahaha! That’s my wife!’ Of course, he didn’t forget to prepare for their escape using Spatial Jump. In case Olivia attacks them in anger. Even if the probability is still low given her personality. It’s still better to be prepared.

Fortunately, the worst didn’t happen. Olivia wasn’t angry. Instead, a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “You surprise me again and again, Alicia. Even while facing an Overlord Rank, you are still so calm. You know very well that if I want to attack or even kill you here. No help can come here in this short time. Yet you aren’t afraid of attacking me.”

Alicia just snorted and didn’t speak. ‘Boasting of the ignorant and the overconfidence of the strong.’ As she saw Luis standing beside her, Alicia’s confidence increased, and she didn’t feel wrong about her previous impulsive attack. ‘As long as my fiancé is around. Let’s see who can touch me.’

At this moment, Diana, who was standing on the side ignored, spoke up. “Um, if it’s over, can we go save the kids already?”

Before, Diana was also angry at the professor, but Alicia attacked first before she could. Now that she understood, everything was a misunderstanding. Diana reminded them because she was worried about the kids.

When he heard Diana’s words, Luis also nodded and asked, “Professor, can you tell us what information you had about those kids?”

Olivia shook her head and said, “What I said before wasn’t a joke. If I go and save those kids, then what’s the use of you three?”

Alicia again became angry and gripped her sword. This time, Luis also frowned in displeasure. ‘What does she mean? Does she want us three to go solve this mission? Is she trying to test us with this mission? But even if she wants to. Isn’t this too much to risk the safety of those children?’

He was wondering if Olivia’s personality differed from the one; he remembers. At least, she wasn’t heartless to the innocent children.

As she saw everyone’s expression. Especially looking at Diana, who had a fierce expression on her face. Olivia said, “Okay, calm down, everyone. First, listen to me. I never said anything about not saving the children.”

“What I meant to say is that, If I do the rescue, you three won’t have much to do in this mission other than accompanying me.”

“Isn’t that what we are here for?” Luis said.

“Yeah, our punishment was to accompany you on your mission, professor,” Diana said with a nod. Alicia also nodded while still maintaining her displeased expression. No matter what Olivia says, Alicia doesn’t have a favorable opinion of her now.

“Yes, that is what the punishment is.” Olivia nodded, agreeing with their words. “But, seeing that, we have an opportunity. Rather than just getting punished, don’t you guys want to try getting rewarded for the mission?”

“What do you mean, Professor?” Luis asked.

“What I mean is that if the three of you can solve this mission without my help and save those children. I will reward you.”

“No need. Professor, please just save those children.” Luis stated with a firm expression and zero hesitation. Even if he was curious about the reward. He wasn’t going to accept her suggestion greedily while risking the safety of those children. Especially when he doesn’t know what their current state is. ‘What if we are late and because of our greed for reward, something unfortunate happens to them?’

So, it’s better to save them along with the professor as she has the information.

Luis’ immediate rejection surprised Olivia. “Are you sure? The reward is a D-rank skill scroll of your choice from the academy’s collection or my movement technique. You still don’t want to try?” She tempted them.

“No need,” Alicia said with a serious expression.

“Yes, even if I want your movement technique, Professor. I will get it after collecting those merit points. So, please save those children.” Diana said. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Heh, you guys surprise me again and again.” Olivia smiled, then thought of something. “Okay, fine. Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you guys a 3-hour time limit to save those kids. If you can succeed, the rewards are yours. If you can’t, then I will save those kids and you get nothing.”

When he heard this, a contemplative expression appeared on Luis’s face. ‘Does she mean to say that those kids will be safe for 3 hours at the very least?’

Before Alicia and Diana can reject her. Luis asked. “Professor, will you act immediately if the children’s safety is at risk?”

“Of course! Not only that, but you can also ask for my help anytime. It’s just that if you do so. Then you won’t get the rewards.” Olivia said, then she added. “Also, remember, you only have 3 hours. Within that time, I can assure you that nothing will happen to those kids.”

At her assurance, Alicia and Diana, who were about to reject her, stopped. Alicia turned to look at Luis as if asking for something. When she saw him nod, her frown relaxed, and a firm expression appeared on her face.

“Okay, professor. Let us complete this mission and rescue those children.” Alicia said.

“Good, then you guys can start. I’ll just follow along and observe how you do this mission. So, don’t mind me.” Olivia said, then stopped talking. Stood on the side trying to be inconspicuous.

“Wait! Why did you guys accept it? What about the children?” Diana was stunned by Alicia’s sudden change of decision.

“Don’t worry, Diana. We will save those children. If we find them in danger, we will immediately ask for the professor’s help.” Luis said. Although he also wanted to reject her. However, from her assurance. He was sure that Olivia must have a reason for the confidence. ‘Maybe she has a backhand that can ensure the safety of those children.’ If that is the case, then it doesn’t hurt trying.

“Are you sure, Luis?” Diana asked with some worry.

“Yeah, I am.”

“Okay, then let’s do as you say. Since the professor is heartless. We can only save those children ourselves.”

Olivia’s mouth twitched. ‘I am not heartless. I am doing all this to test you three. If I didn’t have my friend ensuring the safety of those children. I wouldn’t have brought you three on this mission at all.’

*Sigh*

‘Everything was going perfectly. Today I was going to let them clean up my private warehouse as punishment. After all, it has become too dirty. But who knew this urgent mission would come? Fortunately, Hena acted early. Now I can use this chance to test these kids. See if they are worth my direct guidance.’

‘At least from their character they are, as for other things. I can confirm when they do the mission.’
