Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 69.3 - Aftermath

?"Are you happy now?"

Entering the bungalow, Irina asked, looking at me.

"I am satisfied."

I replied. This whole thing went just as we had expected. Irina had taken the credit for defeating the demon while Sylvie also played her role correctly.

Of course, she didn't do it perfectly, but it was still within my expectations. In any case, this whole thing was somehow disturbing, and I had yet to have alone time to check the things I needed to do.

After everyone lost their consciousness and we all somehow entered that dreamlike state, things progressed very differently compared to the game.

'This whole thing will change the future a lot.'

Even if the things were different from the game and the knowledge from it wasn't completely reliable, it was somehow acceptable to some extent.

Yet, this whole Phantom's Land incident is much more of a scale different from others.

With Belthazor's disappearance, many things will change.

'Well, it is not that important.'

Even if the events are not predictable, at the very least, there is some other information that wouldn't be changed.

"Oh….Our prince is satisfied. Should we cut a cake?"

Irina's sarcasm laced her words, but I merely shrugged it off. Now, I was not in the mood.

"Tch."

And sometimes, mere gestures would prove to be a better answer than any words.

"Umm…." At that moment, Sylvie interjected, looking at me. "What will happen from now on?"

It seemed she was still slightly insecure about how the academy would react to her explanations.

"They will probably wait for a while until the investigation is finished. If what we have told them matches with their findings, they will make it official."

I replied. I had already explained this to her, but knowing Sylvie, it was understandable that she would react in such a manner.

Sylvie threw me a quick glance before turning her attention to me and asking, "W-Will my name be on the papers?"

Her voice was a little shaky, yet from her body language, it wasn't that hard to see that she was rather feeling excited.

'I guess this will be her first time.'

Sometimes, I tended to nearly forget that Sylvie came from a rather small village as well. In a sense, she was also one of the most common people, yet at the same time, she was the future Saintess.

'One really can't understand the world.'

Just as I was thinking to myself, Irina, with an amused smile, couldn't resist chiming in. She grabbed Sylvie's cheeks, saying, "Oh, Sylvie, you're so cute when you're innocent."

Sylvie, clearly embarrassed by the attention, averted her gaze shyly. I couldn't help but feel a slight feeling at their interaction.

'They became rather close.'

It was a lot different before compared to how Irina and Sylvie were in the previous tests. Irina was a rather stiff and fiery girl, so outsiders most likely had a hard time interacting with her for the first time. And Sylvie was not someone with an incredibly high self-esteem like Julia either.

'Then, I guess Irina is getting better at reading the room.'

Irina's teasing and Sylvie's modest reactions created a dynamic that was oddly endearing, but at the same time, it could be explained as her attempt to relieve Sylvie.

Irina reassured Sylvie, "Yes, your name will likely be mentioned. You played a crucial role in all this, Sylvie."

After witnessing their playful interaction, I felt that it was a good time to leave. As the atmosphere lightened, I decided to take advantage of the situation.

"I think I need some rest," I declared, feeling the weight of the recent events and the mental strain from unraveling the mysteries of Phantom's Land.

Irina looked at me for a moment, and then, with a nonchalant tone, she said, "Sure. Do whatever you want."

I nodded in acknowledgment, appreciating the permission she gave. Following that, I entered my room and closed the door.

'Finally, I have some alone time.'

I thought. From the moment I had finished Belthazor, I knew something inside me had changed.

No, even before that, from the moment I had woken up from that dreamlike state, I knew for a fact that I felt different.

It was as if something inside me felt more complete than anything else, and I knew that something definitely had changed.

'Status.'

Following that, I called the status window in my head, and instantly, the long-awaited panel appeared right before me.
