The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081: Hard at Work

How many of the updates and upgrades had Luca actually managed to tinker with?

Well...

Apparently, not a lot.

While it felt like they’d already gone through an absurd amount of things, the truth was that they’d only barely scratched the surface of the recent upgrades. In fact, Luca was honestly starting to feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of things they still had to consider.

Because of that, everyone eventually agreed it’d probably be best for the dungeon owner to take a small break first.

More importantly, if Luca continued browsing the Trove while emotionally compromised, the chances of him making impulsive decisions would rise dramatically.

Like how the little money-grubber had already been eyeing the newly available Level 1 [VENDING] skill ever since the earlier announcements.

Out of all the currently visible skills, that one was the only thing they already met the requirements for.

Luca’s hands had been itching nonstop to activate it.

After all—

Selling things.

Making CP.

Leveling up.

Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to immediately start with that? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Unfortunately for the eager dungeon owner, the others ended up intervening before he could spiral into a full-blown entrepreneurial episode.

"Brother," the blonde called out with startling sincerity, "wouldn’t it be better to check the remaining upgrades first before pouring all your attention into that one?"

"Huh?" Luca blinked in confusion.

Ollie sighed before continuing patiently, "I’m just worried you might miss out on something equally important..."

Honestly, the concern was extremely valid.

Knowing Luca, once he fixated on something, he’d absolutely develop tunnel vision over it.

If they allowed him to freely dive into vending-related matters right now, there was a very real possibility he’d spend the next several days obsessively thinking and running around looking for things to sell without paying as much attention to anything else happening around him.

Thus, to avoid such a terrifying future, everyone unanimously decided it’d be healthier for Luca to "window-shop" through the remaining upgrades first before emotionally committing himself to another dungeon-related business venture.

Heck, not to mention that aside from the ever-growing mountain of things they still needed to handle, they also had to show their faces at the Academy again within the week at the very least.

Thankfully, not for actual lessons.

And certainly not on a daily basis after all their original lobbying efforts.

As for that particular issue, Kyle had already submitted an explanation regarding why they still couldn’t properly return for events such as the recognition ceremonies.

However, following the much-discussed temporary closure of the Day Care, the excuse that they were still busy transferring management of DG’s Expo booth operations to the Imperial Palace—particularly under Imperial Butler Henry’s supervision—could only buy them so many extra days before it inevitably began sounding suspicious.

So really—

They needed to use their time wisely.

Admittedly, that might have been difficult to believe considering their look and current location, but they genuinely had been trying to make the most of every moment available to them.

Well.

At least for the most part.

"Kyaaaaaa~!"

The gleeful screech echoed across the shoreline together with a completely indiscriminate splash attack that nearly took out three innocent bystanders.

It may not look like it, but even in this situation, the young ones were really hard at work...

"Hey! Don’t run around without looking where you’re going! You might step on something sharp!" Kyle shouted while chasing after the blonde ball of energy currently sprinting through the shallow water like some freshly released sea creature.

The chase had already been going on for quite a while now, and watching the two of them, one might genuinely start questioning who the actual water ability user was supposed to be.

Then again, if the youngest Nox truly wanted to catch that runaway mop of blonde hair, Ollie probably wouldn’t have even managed a second skip across the water before getting hauled back.

But today, it was obvious that he was being encouraged to run amok by his extremely indulgent—and still suspiciously in denial—husband.

"But the water’s nice over here!" Ollie yelled back while kicking up another wave with absolutely no regard for human life.

Though honestly, among the lot of them, most people would’ve been far more concerned about the flimsy blonde getting swept away by the very water he was enthusiastically splashing around.

But this time, the resulting wave nearly smacked the crouching Prince Elior in the face.

"??!"

And what do you know, getting splashed probably would’ve been the better outcome.

But instead of the incoming wave he’d been bracing for, the prince could only sputter in utter disbelief as Princess Kira suddenly hoisted the giant that was him—straight up above the water like some sort of ceremonial offering.

"..."

"..."

Well, okay... that was rather unusual. But see, even that too was somehow part of their hard work and dedication!

But just as he said that, with a sudden fwoosh, Jax lifted his head from the water before raising one hand in a way that got everyone looking.
