Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 366

Chapter 366 84.4 - Acceptance

Everything in this world needs to follow a tradition of reason. But, there are times when one loses that, and then it eventually becomes something that could bite them out.

As Astron had accepted Irina's proposal of competition, the atmosphere returned to normal. Irina, who had just been saved by him, looked at the penthouse.

Because of the explosions that Danielle caused, several things inside the penthouse were blasted off across the place.

Seeing those traces, suddenly Irina realized something.

'Explosions? The academy should be alerted?'

Even though Irina had no idea where they were, she knew that the explosions would alert the authorities. The reason for that?

Because of the death of the girl who kidnapped her, the artifacts that were concealing their presence would also be removed. That was the basic premise. And if that were the case, wouldn't the academy that would be monitoring everything inside be aware of it?

They would. But, well, since they didn't do anything wrong, they wouldn't be accused of something.

"By the way, where are we?" Irina asked, looking around.

As Irina surveyed the place, her eyes fell upon the scattered remnants of the cleaning equipment, now broken and abandoned amidst the aftermath of the chaos. Puddles of spilled liquids shimmered on the floor, evidence of the recent struggle that had taken place.

"We're in the penthouse," Astron replied, his voice echoing faintly in the silent space.

Of course, it was easy to see with the evidence, but she wasn't asking him the obvious.

"Penthouse? Penthouse of which building?"

"Girl's dormitory."

However, she felt like she heard something wrong.

"….Huh? What did you say?"

"It is one of the girl's dormitory building's penthouse."

This guy said that this place belonged to the girl's dormitories. That meant the demon contractor girl was hiding her acts under the academy's nose.

'How did she manage to even hide everything?'

Irina questioned, but then she remembered another thing.

This bastard was a man. A guy. And if the authorities were alerted, then they would be coming here.

"You! What are you doing, hurry up and leave." Irina shouted, signaling him.

"Why?"

"Because this is a girl's dormitory. Do you want to be labeled as a pervert?"

"…."

Astron fell silent for a second, hearing Irina's words. But then he shook his head with a sigh. "Don't you think it is kind of stupid to say after saying all those things to me and wasting my time here?"

Irina was momentarily left speechless by Astron's response, her mind reeling from his blunt words. But as his reasoning sank in, a surge of frustration coursed through her veins.

"This is exactly why you need to hurry up and leave!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with irritation. "You don't have much time left before someone comes!"

Astron regarded her with a calm expression, his demeanor unwavering despite her agitation. "You're still inexperienced, aren't you?" he remarked, his tone gentle yet firm. "Do you think the academy would respond this late if they were alerted? If they knew, they would have been here already."

Irina's eyes widened as his words struck home, realization dawning upon her like a bolt of lightning. She had been so caught up in her own panic that she had failed to consider the possibility that the academy might not have been aware of the situation at all.

And it was very highly likely that this guy was already prepared for such a case. There was no way he wouldn't after all. He was such a cautious guy.

'But, he could have just told me.'

Feeling a mix of embarrassment and resentment, Irina glanced away, unable to meet Astron's gaze.

"Why not just tell me?"

"I thought you could easily understand this. Aren't you the great Irina Emberheart?"

"You! Wait the next time! I will get you!"

"Yeah, yeah."

Astron waved his hand and then slowly moved toward the place that caught his attention. There was a small black dot on the wall,

As Astron approached the small black dot on the wall, he felt a sense of unease wash over him. Though the dot remained motionless, its presence seemed to emanate an eerie energy that made his heart beat faster, albeit faintly.

He hesitated for a moment, his instincts urging him to tread carefully. Whatever this dot was, it was clear that it held some significance, and Astron couldn't shake the feeling that it was somehow connected to the demon contractor.

With a cautious hand, Astron reached out and lightly touched the dot, his fingers brushing against the smooth surface of the wall. But as he made contact, a chill ran down his spine, sending shivers through his body.

"What are you doing?"

"Wait."

'This definitely contains demonic energy. There is no doubt about that. Then, maybe?'

The dot didn't move or react in any way, but Astron knew the method for that.
