BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 Famous Overnight (3)
Or perhaps, one could say it was just his luck that attracted someone like Professor Felix.
"This doesn\'t change anything much... Or maybe the story gets affected, but who cares?"
Elias muttered under his breath. After some thinking, the story didn\'t really matter. It was headed to a tragic ending, thus it didnt matter if it was messed up or not.
After recovering from his surprise, Elias looked at Peter and Robert. Peter was excited and thrilled, yet confused by his reaction from the news article.
While the other one... Robert was just standing from a distance, showing some cautiousness towards him.
It was evident to him that Robert had a story of his own to tell, but it was not something he wanted or needed to know, thus he dismissed it after a thought.
After calming down, Elias looked at Peter and opened his mouth.
"Did they publish a picture of mine in the news article?"
"Nope! But they might update it soon, you have your student ID card now. They can look at it in the student database."
"So there\'s still time... I guess until this day,"
Elias snickered and nodded slowly. There was still time before he was recognized by everyone and get targeted by other people.
He wasn\'t scared, but he was still new to the academy. There was still a lot he didn\'t know of and had no control over, meanwhile some clubs here had been established since the founding of the academy.
If the other higher ranked clubs knew he was going to make his own club, they might possibly obstruct or stall his recruiting process.
Or worse, some malicious people might even attemptto kick him out of the academy or ruin his life.
So until that time... he needed to laylow and recruit the people he wanted.
"First of the list... Hajin."
Elias muttered under his breath.
***
After bidding farewell to Peter and Robert, Elias didn\'t stall any further and left Room 12. He walked outside and coincidentally saw someone on the way.
On one of the apartment floors, there was beautiful woman with long-black hair and white skin talking to someone. While she stood, her ruby red eyes shone of striking allure.
She had a supple and charming body hidden under her stack of clothes, but her pair of glasses and the shy introverted air she exhibited made her seem nerdy instead.
Nonetheless, she was as mesmerizing as an newly uncovered ruby. Like a fragile, glowing gem that incites
whoever who looked at her to treasure her very being.
A woman that shone under the sun.
Alice Heartfelt.
After taking a glance at her, Elias instantly remembered her story in the novel. He couldn\'t help but feelt slightly bad about it.
He shook his head and immediately moved his gaze in fear of being noticed. He didn\'t want to deal with her at the moment.
If possible, may they never cross paths each other.
Elias shook his head and sighed. He walked out of the apartment and saw that a lot of students were discussing about something.
"Have you heard the latest news?"
"Oh, that demon invasion right? What, are you scared of demons? Big deal, not like our midterm exam is not about slaying demons..."
"You fool! No! I\'m talking about that Elias Corleone! The one who slayed a Baron level demon...!"
"Oh... yeah, that. Sigh. It seems like the Top 100 is going to have a new addition in this year, there goes my chances..."
As everyone discussed about him, Elias simply shrugged and walked away. The first he needed to do for the day was to take his stuff, it had something important in there.
There was still quite some time before his fight with Ragna. It was still at the morning, the schedule was at noon.
While he walked, he heard a lot of students gossiping about him. It bothered him, but he did his best to just ignore them.
It didn\'t take long before Elias arrived in front of a large building. Without a second thought, he entered the place and left after a while with a suitcase and a phone in his hand.
To his surprise, the entire process of getting his items was rather a short and easy. He just needed to flash his Student ID card and the staff readily gave his things.
Elias turned on his phone and dialed a number.
<nulli>Ring.. ring..!
Then, the number answered almost immediately.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hajin, come to XXX14 in the left side of the academy. I\'ll wait for you since I need you for something."
"Huh? Who is this.. El—"
Elias immediately cut off the call. He looked at the sky and gave a long deep stare. Without further a do, he walked away from the place.
After getting his things, he temporarily didn\'t have any more urgent matters to handle. He entered a coffee shop that he came across and sat at one of the tables.
Elias turned on his phone and browsed the forums while waiting for Hajin.
[Azinagi a Silver-ranked Club has secured a deal to be a subordinate faction of the Noble Familia...]
[Martial Instructor Lothaire is hiring a few students for help in exchange for some contribution points... (omitted)]
[Devil Heart a Gold-ranked club had recently rised in status, securing some outside deals and investments, had started to get more property in the city... (omitted)]
<nulli>\'Devil Heart?\'
Elias raised his brows. If he remembered correctly, there was an important side character in that club. But they will only appear in the story until a later arc.
But due to the nature of the club business in the academy, he might meet that character sooner than expected. He might as well prepare for them.
Elias shoved it to the back of his mind and read along again in boredom.
[Tips and Tricks to pass Madam\'s Vice Thaumaturgy class: memorize, integrate and apply... (omitted)]
[How to de... (omitted)]
[Olympus, a Platinum-ranked Club is looking to recruit Elias Corleone, sources say... (omitted)]
Elias suddenly stopped scrolling. There were a lot of post about him in the forum, but he ignored them as usual... except for this one.
It was too eye catching.
A platinum ranked club represented one of the highest ranked clubs in the academy. Furthermore, the club Olympus was just all too familiar with him.
"So it has begun..."
Elias mused to himself. This happened to Rain and Lance in the novel as well, but since he took over their fame and reputation, this event happened to him instead.
Elias tapped the table as his eyes flickered.
Olympus... he would just destroy them the same if they were to obstruct his path.
Plain and simple, just like how he preferred.
