Today's classes finished peacefully as well.
At Ruby's class, we all just did physical training like push-ups and running, but it was still exhausting as fuck.
She made us do 150 push-ups, 150 squats, and after that—we ran nonstop until her class finished.
Ruby is personally helping me train, so I spent the whole time of her class being glared at by most boys.
The girls who are looking at me averted their eyes every time I look at them. Am I that hated here?
Anyway... After Ruby's class, I got bullied by male professors next by making me answer and explain hard things.
It's because of the news about me and Ruby. She's popular with the professors as well, of course.
Though... I answered all the questions correctly. I don't intend to be bullied one-sidedly. It's easy knowing the right answer with my trait [Understanding].
But because of that—I'm mentally exhausted, and my mana is almost drained.
"Haaaaa... Fucking hell."
I sighed as I put my things I packed beforehand into my spatial storage.
I already told Keara that I was going away for a while. She seemed a bit sad about it, and it really made me think if I should just stay.
But I didn't, as I really need to be strong to survive, and I'll need things for that.
Then... After packing, I immediately left the academy.
Normally I would wait for a long time before I was allowed to leave on weekdays.
For security reasons.
But luckily, one of the staff managing the academy's gate was the first staff I gave 1000 Zeals before.
Because of him, I got to leave pretty fast.
"I knew it, it's a good idea to build a good relationship with the staff."
I muttered with a satisfied tone and went to the station.
I didn't tell anyone else that I was leaving, only Ruby and Keara know.
So I hope Alec and the others aren't waiting for me in the library.
It didn't take long for me to arrive in Xara City, it was three cities away from the Lunar Academy.
Anyway, for my destination this time—
I'll need to arrive at a certain place before [5:00 AM].
I took my phone out and looked at the time.
I still have some time, but I don't want to waste and gamble it—so I headed there early.
I arrived at my destination not long after. Transportation is really fast now with these amazing technologies here. I hope they make flying cars soon.
I'm currently outside a small forest. The forest is called [Gentle Forest]. It's a normal forest with no monsters nor beasts. Though, that changed three days ago when a portal-type dungeon appeared in the middle of it.
Portal-type dungeons are dungeons that are connected to other dimensions. They will bring you to a place that is not on this planet or maybe not even in this universe upon entering.
This type of dungeon is rare and valuable because mysterious and new materials are often acquired in them.
But there's also a high chance of meeting new types of monsters and beasts inside. So it's like a high-risk, high-return dungeon.
The forest is now being guarded by some heroes to make sure no civilians enter it.
Because outside the Gentle Forest are civilians with their phones out and continuously taking photos of someone.
A man with a handsome and manly face, black eyes and comb-over short hair, his muscles are bulging, and he looks dignified.
Overall, he looks like someone handsome that's in his mid-20s at most.
It's Clifford Godwin, an rank hero, ranked 35 in [Heroes Ranking], also the guildmaster of the number 1 guild in the human domain, [Coldvale].
Also... He is Eve's father.
"Damn, his presence is no joke..."
I weakly muttered, looking at Clifford with a complicated face.
Beside him is another man with a pretty-boy face, black finely-cut hair and brown eyes, but unlike Clifford, he just has a natural body build.
It's Oscar Wilfred, rank hero and ranked 112.
He's the vice guildmaster of [Coldvale].
Then behind them are three women and two men, ranging from rank to rank.
I assume they're all members of [Coldvale].
And with the seven of them—they will raid the portal-type dungeon that appeared inside the forest. They are all well equipped.
I mixed into the crowd so I can avoid suspicion.
Looking at the [Coldvale] members from a distance made me unconsciously swallow my own saliva out of nervousness.
Because, when they enter the portal-type dungeon...
I'm going to sneak in and enter the dungeon too!
Why now, you ask? Like, can I just go after they do?
Portal-type dungeons often disappear after being raided once. That's why they're valuable and rare.
And in the novel, the one I'm gonna sneak into is destined to disappear as well.
That's why this is the only chance that I have.
Also, coming with them means that it'll be safer as they will take care of the monsters. I'm not capable of handling rank monsters and beasts.
Anyway, not long after...
The time reached [5:00 PM].
And immediately after so, all the members of the [Coldvale] guild started to move.
Meanwhile me—I went to a pretty secluded area and transformed into a cat.
And after that... I entered the forest secretly. I entered unnoticed as my figure is small and black. I also jumped from tree to tree to avoid being seen.
And in case someone did see me, why would they bother kicking out a stray cat, right?
So with ease, I reached the eye of the forest.
I saw a portal big enough to fit a whole house. Its color was green and you could feel ripples of mana around it.
Then I saw the [Coldvale] members getting ready to enter the portal.
And after a while, they entered the portal. I watched them as their figures disappeared one by one.
After five minutes of them entering, I took a deep breath and looked straight at the portal.
And without batting an eye—
