Chapter 352
[Shout out to Ricardo S. and Sahal I!]
Lucky 352
"The project is about the history of the Forest of Death and how it affects our land." The professor added after the grouping was complete.
"Which means..."
"Just as you suspected, you will take a field trip to the border. But of course you will not enter the Forest of Death, that place is dangerous. What you'll do is interview soldiers and historians and come up with your own hypothesis... Although I think one of us has already made one."
As Professor Fannie said this, the students looked at Lou Viola, who was taking notes. Her studies were well respected by the faculty because her ideas were noble.
However, few knew the exact information. The students only knew that Lou Viola was accepted into Horvart University because of the article she sent to the university.
"This is the beginning of the semester, and I will not be giving any lectures or assignments. You can go now and plan your trip."
"Nice!"
The students happily left the classroom. Early dismissal of the class means more time to play around.
"Um... Do you have free time after school?"
Oni Chichi mumbled and looked at them. She felt uncomfortable standing next to them after remembering what happened last time. She knew that Calix and Lou were close, at least from what she saw.
"I don't have any work today." Lou acted normal. Maybe she was too focused on the project to see Oni's expression.
"Cool, what about you Calix?"
"I have nothing to do today. My place is big and we can use it."
Calix remembered that Oni had a nasty roommate and Lou's place was quite small. So he decided to offer his place.
"It's better than finding a place in the cafeteria or the restaurant."
Lou easily agreed.
"Okay. Since everyone already knows Calix's place, let's meet at 5 pm."
The three quickly made a decision and planned their project.
'I thought it was a practical project, but I can't believe it's still a written one.'
At least it was better than a written exam.
As they parted ways, Lou paused when she noticed her phone vibrating. She realized that Calix had sent her a message.
-- Meet me at my house at 4:00. I will prepare dinner for us.
It was an hour before the meeting time. Lou's face immediately turned red as she understood Calix's intention. Preparing dinner at 4 pm was too early, but Lou would not judge. Her body trembled slightly as she typed her reply.
-- I will visit you at 3:30 and bring some dishes. I want to help you prepare dinner.
She was nervous as she hit the send button. She was being shameless and she knew it. Still, she wanted to spend more time with Calix. She had missed him for a whole week.
-- This is going to be great. Thank you.
She squealed as she read his approval.
'I wonder what nice dish to cook? Oh, and I need to wear something nice. Luckily, I bought some lingerie last time... I can wear it for Calix.'
Her face was red as she walked, almost as if she had a fever - a love fever/lovesickness.
Still, the smile on her face was nice to see.

...
Calix bought ingredients to make sure they would have a nice meal. On his way out of the market, he noticed something amusing.
'Is that Quandale?'
He saw his friend Quandale Dingle with some shady characters. They seemed to be talking about something and acting suspiciously.
They are men and women who have a lot of tattoos and are smoking cigarettes.
Quandale was sweating as he talked to them. Calix could tell that he was really nervous.
His eyebrows furrowed as he saw Quandale follow the suspicious group into the dark alley.
'Should I follow him?'
Quandale was a good person, and he was Calix's first friend when he set foot in this country.
In the end, Calix decided to follow them. He placed the groceries in his spatial ring and entered the alley.
"Let's see what they do."
But before he could even see what they were doing, a deafening scream shook the place.
Calix was stunned, but he immediately regained his senses and rushed into the alley. His hand clutched his necklace in case something happened.
His feet stopped in front of the dumpster and he was shocked to see a horrible scene.
A naked woman was lying on top of a man. However, they were not having sex. The naked woman was devouring the man by eating his throat. Blood was gushing from his throat and he was struggling to breathe, but he was drowning in his own blood.
"H- Help me..."
Unfortunately, the woman broke his neck and he died miserably.
"Hiii--!!"
The others quickly ran away from them and fled the scene.
'What is happening here? Is she a descendant of vampires? But I thought they only needed blood, not flesh.'
Scarlett loved to drink his blood, but the woman before him was like a hungry beast ready to kill anyone. She looked like a monster.
Calix had no time to understand the situation. He found Quandale staring a few meters away.
The woman was still busy devouring the man.
"Quandale, we have to go!"
"Huh? Lucky?"
Quandale was still in shock and could not think clearly. Calix grabbed his shirt and pulled him away from the spot. They started running out of the alley.
He didn't kill the woman because he didn't want to blow his cover. No one knows he was a spy. Besides, he didn't know those people, and he didn't feel bad about it.
When they were far away from the place, Quandale gasped for breath and sat on the ground.
As for Calix, he was only sweating, and he could still run another mile.
"What happened there?"
"I-I don't know, the woman started acting crazy after she got undressed."
"What are you doing with them?"
"T-that's..."
Quandale didn't know what to say. It would be humiliating if he told the truth.
