Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 132  Class Division!

The class division of the first year of the Oracle Academy is divided into 12 classes, with 50 students each. Out of the 12 classes, 4 of them are elite classes and the rest are normal classes. The normal classes have numbers from one to eight, while the 4 elite classes have names based on the Sacred Beasts: Fenrir, Leviathan, Jormundgar, and Behemoth.

In the elite classes, the students with S, A, B, and C evaluations will be divided accordingly. This means each elite class will have five students with an S grade evaluation. Thus, increasing the competitiveness between the elite classes.

"So, I'm in Leviathan class, huh?" Luis muttered as he read the notification in his mana bracelet. Then he rubbed his chin and pondered, 'Now, what were the side plots of the Leviathan class route again?'

In the game, if the players have the ranking eligible to enter the elite class, then they are given the option to choose among those four elite classes. After that, according to their choice, the development of many side plots and some events varies.

Of course, the chosen routes don't affect the events of the main storyline as, somehow or other, they are all interconnected. But they do affect their difficulty level. So, it was always recommended for the new players to choose after careful consideration.

Sadly, this was the real world. Where you can't always make choices as you deem fit, sometimes things are imposed on you without your opinion.

Since Luis was assigned to the Leviathan Class. He was thinking about the side plots that could be of use to him. He had no intention of involving himself in all the plots, but he would definitely engage in the plots that involved some important people and were connected to the main storyline.

Turning his head to look at Alicia beside him, Luis asked, "Which class are you in, Alicia?"

"The same as you, Leviathan," Alicia replied in a flat tone, her eyes showing indifference, but her upturned lips gave her away, expressing how happy she was.

Luis was taken aback for a moment, then a handsome smile appeared on his face as he said in a teasing manner. "See? It's our destiny! Even the Oracle Academy can't bear to separate us!"

Alicia snorted faintly and said, "Don't overthink! It's not fate at work, but our evaluation ranking."

Luis nodded his head and, seeing her stubborn look, he didn't continue trying to tease her. He knew that wouldn't work when she was like this. It's better to find an opportunity later.

"Let's go to our classroom first and see who our classmates are."

"Yeah," Alicia replied uncaringly.

Seeing this, Luis' legs, which were about to step forward, paused, and he said sternly, "Hey, Alicia! I'm serious! You better try making friends!"

"Are you forcing me?!" Alicia asked back with some anger.

Luis was unfazed and answered calmly, "Yeah, I am!"

"…" Alicia stared back at Luis in astonishment. Disbelief was clearly expressed on her face. She couldn't believe his attitude just now. Never in her dreams had she expected Luis to force her to do something she wasn't interested in.

Luis could pretty much guess her thoughts based on her expression, which is why he was speechless. 'Oh man, why is a girl's mood so complicated?! It can fluctuate from happiness to anger within seconds.'

'Sigh, we men are helpless.'

To calm down her emotions, Luis immediately took on a softer approach, "Alicia, I am not asking you to be friendly with everyone. If fine, for you to be your usual self. But I just want you to try making at least one female friend, okay? Can you do that for me?"

When she heard his gentle tone, Alicia's frown eased up visibly and after a moment she said with a nod, "I'll try at my pace. So don't try to pressure me."

"I won't," Luis replied sincerely and sighed in relief, seeing that Alicia didn't seem angry anymore.

The entrance of the Leviathan class had a majestic door, adorned with beautiful tidal patterns portrayed in it. It had a blue water droplet symbol on top of the door. Which was most probably the symbol of the Leviathan class.

When Luis and Alicia entered the noisy classroom, all voices stopped, and the entire classroom fell into an abrupt silence. All the eyes inside the classroom observed Luis and Alicia rigidly.

Their reactions weren't surprising after all the two of them were the top two students on the entrance test and they had also eliminated many students among them, too.

Of course, among them, some students didn't care about any of that and just minded their own business. But there was one student whose reaction was entirely different compared to others.

"Luis, buddy!"

On a seat in the back row. A bulky boy with a buzz cut waved his hand towards Luis with a wide grin on his face.

Until now, there had been only one person who called him 'buddy'. Thinking of the student he met at the time of the written test, a faint smile appeared on Luis' face.

And sure enough, when he looked at the source of the voice, he saw a familiar person waving his hands at him. It was none other than Ben Douglas.

Ignoring the eyes of other classmates, Luis walked toward Ben. Alicia also followed after him while looking at Ben curiously wondering if this big guy was an acquaintance of Luis.

"So, you passed after all! Huh, Ben!" Luis said with a faint smile.

"Of course! I did!" Ben said proudly. Then he looked at Luis with an excited expression and said, "But damn, bro! You gave me a big surprise, huh? You became the top student! Were you pretending to be nervous then?"

Luis remembered that Ben had misunderstood him back then, and he didn't bother to correct his misunderstanding. It's no wonder that he thinks Luis was pretending.

Thinking so, Luis shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Well, I also didn't expect to rank so high. It seems the Lady luck blessed me."

"You don't have to be modest, Buddy Luis! It was all your hard work and talent," Ben said with a smile, and then his eyes shifted to Alicia, who was standing behind Luis.

Seeing this, Luis was about to introduce the two of them, but Ben gave him a confident 'leave it to me' gesture and looked at Alicia with a smile.

"Hello, sister-in-law! I'm Ben Douglas! Brother Luis had told me a lot of good things about you!"

When she heard herself being called sister-in-law, Alicia blushed inwardly, but on the outside, she maintained her indifferent expression.

Finding no change in Alicia's expression, Ben wondered if he said something wrong.

'Shouldn't she be asking what buddy Luis said about her? Then I will tell her a lot of good things and she will become happy with Buddy.'

'They are happy, I am happy, happy ending! In that drama, this trick worked perfectly fine. So, what went wrong here?'

On one side there was contemplative Ben, and on the other side was indifferent Alicia. This situation amused Luis. Although Ben's help was unnecessary, Luis still appreciated his kind intentions. It made Luis have a favourable opinion of Ben. As for him having ill intentions with his approach, Luis will certainly investigate it later.

For now, he was interested in how the situation would turn out to be.

"… What did he say?" When Alicia asked this question, Ben understood that this was the moment, so he immediately repeated the dialogue from the drama he had seen.

"He said that you are the most beautiful person he has seen in his entire life. Without you, his life feels empty. Your existence is like a vibrant light in his gray, emotionless world. If you are not there, he has no meaning to his life."

Luis covered his mouth, trying to hold back his laughter behind a serious expression. 'Hahaha! What the heck is up with those cheesy lines? Where did he learn these?"

'There is no way Alicia is going to believe that I will say such cheesy nonsense!' Thinking so, Luis shook his head and turned to look at Alicia, expecting to see her indifferent expression. But to his surprise, Alicia had a soft smile on her face as she glanced at Luis with a slight blush. 'Wait? What's up with her reaction? Don't tell me she believed him?! Wake up Alicia, there is no way I'll say such things!' n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

With slight redness on her cheeks, Alicia got close to Luis and whispered, "Luis, in front of me is fine! But you shouldn't say these kinds of things in front of outsiders. It's so embarrassing."

Luis had a wry smile on his face. He didn't know what to say at that moment. He turned to look at Ben, who gave him a thumbs up, showing a wide grin. He sighed helplessly and thought, 'Can the classes begin already?'
