Conquering The Game's World

67  Diana Tres!

After getting permission to enter the barrier and arriving at the Main Island. Luis and the others took a hover car to move around Academy City.

In the beginning, Academy City was built around the Oracle Academy to provide students with better facilities. But now, not only for students and faculty but even for tourists, it has many interesting places to visit and play around.

Although Luis had learned many things about the Academy City from the game. But seeing it in real life, he was once again fascinated.

"It's been so long since I've been here," Lumine said.

Looking at the Academy City around her, which had changed a lot compared to her memory, a soft smile formed on her face.

"How about we go to the hotel first and then tour around?" Lumine asked.

To which they agreed simultaneously. Alicia wanted to freshen herself. While Luis had his own ideas and wanted to make some preparations.

After a 15-minute ride in the hover car, they arrived at the hotel where Lumine had booked their rooms and checked in.

Inside the hotel room.

Luis turned on his Mana Bracelet and called out. "Lily."

A moment later, Lily's childish and cheerful voice sounded. {Yes, Master.}

"Connect to the public network here."

{Just a second… and… Done!}

"Now, try to see if you can break through the security wall and get the footage of all the security cameras inside the Academy City."

{Okay~}

Minutes passed by as Lily encompassed all commands and security, as she hacked into all the security cameras one by one.

{Master, a few of them have a spell cast on them.}

"Let me check it." Saying that, Luis read the spells and started decoding them. With his Sorceror Talent, it wasn't a problem for him.

So, within 5 minutes. They managed to hack into all the security cameras inside Academy City.

"Okay, the first step is over," Luis mumbled with a sigh. Then commanded. "Lily, from now on you will be responsible for monitoring all the people that I've marked in that document. Also, if you find any suspicious people or any suspicious activity going on, then remind me."

Lily's hologram appeared in front of him, and she spoke. {You can count on me, Master!}

'She seems very excited.' Luis thought inwardly as he smiled faintly.

Now that the security cameras are in his control. Luis can be a little assured that things will be under control for the time being. But he knew that it wasn't enough. On such a big island, there are only 327 cameras, and they are far from enough to monitor the entire island. So that is why, for surveillance and intelligence, he had his plans that he would implement slowly.

After closing his eyes, he thought about his plans once again. Then, a few minutes later, he opened his eyes and asked, "Lily, can you see any Core Targets in the city?"

Luis has divided the monitoring targets into three: Core, Suspicious and Interested. Core targets are the subject of monitoring 24/7. (Such as the protagonist, female leads, villains, and other important characters.) n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Suspicious Targets as the name suggests. Will be subject to monitoring in case of performing suspicious activities. As for the Interested Targets, it's when Luis specifies Lily to monitor someone.

{Master, among the Core Targets. Only Diana Tres is here.}

When he heard this name, a glint appeared in Luis' gray eyes. 'So, she is already here, huh?'

'Diana Tres, the sixth female lead of the first protagonist. A Beast-Kin from the Sekmet branch, but instead of the lion's head, she has ears and tails that resemble a tiger. She is a half-Tigress-half-human. Was ostracized from her clan for being different.' Closing his eyes, he was thinking of all the information regarding her character and her plot.

He was brought out of his thoughts when Lily suddenly asked, {Should I open the footage?}

"…" After thinking for a second, he said. "… open it."

Although Luis wasn't interested in her. He was quite curious about how she looked in real life. When Lily opened the hologram, Luis was dumbfounded, because what was presented in front of him was a picture of a tanned half-Tigress-half-human girl, full of powerful muscles in her body, walking with a fierce expression on her face, just from observation alone he knew that she was emitting powerful killing intent.

"What's going on? Why is she so angry? Is she going to kill someone?"

Luis' mind couldn't process for a moment, because he didn't remember any plot like this. Moreover, according to her personality, although she was a battle maniac, she wouldn't hurt an innocent person.

'Is her personality different from what I know?'

'If that's the case, I'll need to change my plans.'

While Luis was brainstorming several scenarios. Lily's next words made him speechless.

{She went to the most famous Parfait shop in this city and stood in line for 2 hours. But when it was her turn, it sold out.}

"…"

"… Poor girl."

In such a situation, even he will be pissed off. "She didn't kill someone, right?"

{No, but she is looking for someone to fight.}

"…" After a pause, he said. "Just keep an eye on her."

Before, he was thinking about contacting her and making her his subordinate. But seeing her current mood, he decided to give up for now.

***

In the evening, Luis and Alicia, together with Lumine acting as a guide, toured around the city. Lumine took them to all her favorite places and shared her memories. Alicia was also very happy to hear about her mother and her life in the academy.

Standing in front of an Oak Tree. Lumine's eyes were a little moist, reminiscing about the past. Luis and Alicia didn't say anything and quietly waited for her to speak. After a moment, Lumine took a deep breath and, with a slight smile on her face, she started speaking softly.

"This was Maria's favorite spot. Whenever she had free time, she used to come here and sit leaning on this tree. One day I asked her, [Why do you like to come here, Maria?] She said, [This tree gives me the motivation to work harder and become stronger so that one day I could go back.]"

After a pause, Lumine mumbled with a sigh. "I asked her many times, but she never told me where she wanted to go."

Alicia's eyes were fixed on the Oak Tree as she was immersed in the memories of her past. Her memories with her mother. With some tears in her eyes, she mumbled. "Just how many secrets did you keep from me, Mom?"

*Sigh*

Luis sighed.

He, of course, knew the answers she wanted, but it wasn't the right time to tell her.

'Forgive me, Alicia.'
