Chapter 555 [555] So, Things are troublesome.
The dwarves had raided the forges and some tried to get in the treasury, but thankfully Oliver wasn't that lenient.
He had the strength that the leaders of the three species possessed, he was on equal terms with them.
Various human officials had also visited the campus, normally they wouldn't even be able to step foot inside, but...the situation simply called for it.
The orcs, were busy in the arena, challenging the combat students. Meanwhile, The elves were just doing their own thing.
Some were at the mall, some were eating human food with expressions of delight on their faces, while some...
"Sigh..."
Chose to attend the classes... One such elf, one with luscious blonde hair, was sitting next to Sabrina, sighing and scribbling. That seat usually belonged to Alan, even despite the class transfer, but since he was absent for an entire month... It went to the elf.
Actually, Sabrina preferred it that way. The past month, her class had changed and although Alan and her were in the same class... Alan wasn't here. Therefore, she had to deal with boys sitting next to her and trying to get her attention.
It was annoying, So it was refreshing to have someone that didn't give a damn, much like Alan. She wasn't like most girls who craved attention or anything like that. Peace and quiet were invaluable to her.
However...that peace lasted only in the class. The moment she went outside, she would have to deal with the boys from the other classes. The second and third years didn't give her much trouble. They still knew of Alan.
The problem were the eccentric first years...this batch was quite strange. Her locker would always be filled with gifts and flowers. And her dorm was the same...every day she had to move a mountain of boxes away.
She was getting so tired of it, that she treated this small period of silence like it was a godsend!
She was starting to miss the brute that scared away most people a lot now, but she couldn't do anything about it. Furthermore, she was the reason he was unconscious after all...
She blamed herself too much for it. And she also spent a lot of her free time in thinking about ways to apologize.
'I guess I just need to ask them...'
In the end, she resolved herself to ask her friends, thinking they would have better solutions than anything she came up. Just then, the period bell rang, and she sighed, regretting that her peaceful time ended too quickly.
And just then! The moment the teacher left, another student burst through the door, shouting!
"Alan woke up! And he's kicking the dwarves assess and going out with the orcs!"
The news came like a shock to Sabrina, who stood up immediately and asked with a loud voice.
"Where?!"
The contract between them had been destroyed because of the events in Giganta, therefore she had a hard time locating his location and state without the usage of the Astral bond. She was reluctant to use that as well after what happened.
"Ugh...the artifact making build-"
She pushed the student aside and, very much unlike herself, began to run towards the place, wanting to confirm with her own eyes. She wasn't alone, as many second-year students were doing the same.
The elves, who were mostly bored, had their curiosity peaked and followed the rest. And soon they were at the location where...one single student was being swarmed by dwarves and orcs alike.
"Fuck off!"
His voice, seethed with rage and a feeling of being accused.
**********
After Alan had thrown the dwarves outside, they slowly used their mana to melt the surrounding ice. Dwarves were more attuned to the elements of fire and thunder. So doing was easy.
Of course, If Alan really wanted to restrain them for longer, he could have done it, but he thought that would persuade them to leave him alone. Or at least make them reconsider barging in here again. He did steal their belonging for barging in here, though, and he was prepared to fight to the death to keep them.
He went to assess the damage they did and sighed in relief. He had stopped them before they did something they would truly regret.
[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha advises you to calm down.]
He was still angry at them, but Lanesha, being the ever-caring being she was, managed to pull him back to his senses. He quietly put the items in his inventory, so they wouldn't be stolen again.
Most of the items were metals and other alloys, rocks even. As expected of the dwarves. He had thought they would be...richer.
But this wasn't a bad harvest.
[Supreme dragon of frost Lanesha says you should be happy with something than nothing.]
"Yes, I know."
Alan agreed with her. She treated him like a child most of the time, and to be fair, she was one of the few beings who could... Tossing around encouragement or guiding him to make the better decision.
Alan calmed down, the recent enhancements of his senses he was becoming more agitated. The slightest sound would irritate him, and a bright enough light would blind him temporarily.
He already dulled his senses with the help of mana, he asked Lanesha about this, and she simply responded with that Earth lacked mana.
"Alright...thing's should be good here."
Alan said, as he tidied up his forge and made a new door with ice. This ice would be broken only if Sir Oliver launched an attack at it!
Satisfied with himself, he exited the facility and...
"... Of course, thing's wouldn't end this easily... Fuck my life."
