Ch 31 : End of the First Dungeon exploration

Noticing the gaze of Cade, Elicia felt there was something wrong here. Yet, she just couldn't put her thoughts into it.

Deciding to put her trust in Cade, Elicia collected herself as she nodded her head and walked all the way in until she reached the entrance of the palace.

According to what Cade had said on their way here, behind the golden doors would be something that is pretty useful to her.

Until now, the existence of the Arcane Card has been a great help to humanity, but that didn't mean humans have discovered everything about Arcane Card.

In fact, the existence of Arcane Card was still something that humans couldn't put their minds into.

They only knew Arcane Card could evolve or raise in rank, but what caused them was still a mystery that needed to be unfolded.

As for Cade, even if he was a transmigrator, there was obviously no way for him to fully understand the theory behind it. Yet, there's some loophole that could be used to his advantage.

Arriving in front of the two golden doors, Elicia nodded at Cade as both of them, at the same time took a deep breath and placed their hands on the door. Immediately, the door was opened from the inside.

—Shiiiiin!

The door opened, and a dazzling glow appeared and nearly blinded them.

Covering his eyes to mitigate the impact of the light, with great difficulty, Cade forced his eyes open and saw vast amounts of armory inside.

Each armor was different from the others;

Some with a big shield and some with long and sharp swords.

There was even some armor that had the shape of mythical beasts, mostly like kirin, dragon, or pegasus.

In the game, this place was nothing more than a display. With the protagonist didn't even bats an eye for them.

Yet to Cade, this was his target here. With this large amounts of armor, wouldn't he not need to be concerned about fusing his Arcane Card for a while?

Furthermore, he had cross-checked with Grigory and had confirmed that the fusion was possible.

Walking around in a daze, Cade and Elicia followed the path and reached a strange altar, where in the middle, a shining, shimmering, splendid thing was put on display.

Just one look, and both Elicia and Cade could see that the thing displayed was not your usual ordinary things.

But the problem was, right in front of the shining item, a big guardian wolf was lying still, and just based on its aura alone, they could infer that the wolf was at the very least at Rank (VI) Monster.

" Cade, what should we do?"

. . . . . . . . . .

A little while later, standing in front of the School Dungeon was Elizabeth. Yet, the normally calm and composed beauty didn't look that calm today.

Today's incident was really out of her prediction, and it could worsen the image of Orion University, which was already bad to begin with.

And to make the situation worse for her, two students have not come up until now.

" Cade North and Elicia Holzberg…"

Looking at the name that was written on the paper in front of her, Elizabeth felt like having a big headache.

The former might be just a commoner, but the latter was the heir of the Holzberg group, and a single incident might cause an uproar in the whole school.

" *Sigh* If I knew about this, I would have gone with them…"

Thinking about this incident, Elizabeth could only blame herself. Usually the homeroom teacher would accompany their students to the Dungeon, but for some reason. Elizabeth was called to the principal office this morning and couldn't really accompany the students.

Now that things had gone like this, Elizabeth could only shake her head and readied herself to accept the responsibility for this matter.

But it seems that fate was still kind to Elizabeth today.

Not long after, the two figures appeared, looking unharmed at all, and even with a smile on their faces.

There was, in fact a temptation in Elizabeth's mind to punch them once, but she decided to just put it for later.

As of now, she was just relieved that everyone was able to return from the Dungeon safely.

However, the turbulence was far from over.

Just when Cade and Elicia took their step outside the Dungeon, they were blocked by a group of students.

Elizabeth was a bit late to react, and when she arrived at the commotion, the atmosphere had been very tense.

​​When she arrived, the surrounding area was wrapped in a strange atmosphere. Elizabeth could feel all the gazes heading toward Cade and Elicia.

Most of the students were watchfully waiting with both amusement and curiosity on their faces, but there was a group in the center being noisy.

Elizabeth asked Aurum about the situation.

"What in the world happened?"

"It started out as a small quarrel. However…"

In the center were more than five people surrounding Cade and Elicia. They were all the students that had ditched the monster parade at Cade and Elicia before.

For some reason, from the beginning, Elicia never really had the best reputation in this school. But she never thought that they would be this brave.

Conflicts and problems were normal between business, but to attack in such a frontal way, did they really think the Holzberg family would really let things be?

Actually, there was a lot of question on Cade's mind too, but now he would just stay silent and listened to what the other guys were going to say.

Elicia raised her voice in front of the fice people.

It was a shout filled with grief.

"What do you mean I'm the one causing the monster parade?! You guys were the one that caused the monster parade and almost made a disaster, and now you are trying to put all the blame on me?!"
