Chapter 128: You Two Are Interesting

“Ladies and gentlemen, these are the luxury desserts and drinks that Mr. Adelaide has arranged for you. I am your full-time service staff, Dora. If you have any requests, just press the button next to the seat. I will serve you wholeheartedly…”

The fatty Lawrence looked at the beautiful service staff, Dora, with lustful eyes.

Locke could not blame him however, as she was indeed very beautiful, especially since she had a pair of emerald eyes that were as charming as gemstones, and a diabetes-inducing smile.

Locke and Lawrence could not help but linger their gaze on her.

…

Lawrence chomped down on his dessert and said, “Thank you, Locke! Count Adelaide is a wealthy businessman, and to think that you can become good friends with him!!”

“Thank you very much…” According to rumors, Rosetti was also born in a wealthy family, and her father was a mysterious businessman. Nevertheless, she was from a good family, and she had a good head on her shoulders.

After taking a sip from his drink, Locke asked:

“Rosetti, what can you tell me about your Battle Beast?”

As the captain of the team, it would be shameful if he did not know what his teammates’ Battle Beasts do!

“My Battle Beast is a medical-type. It can rapidly heal Battle Beasts and their hosts, keep them healthy, and restore their mana. It can also create a protective barrier. It’s a Stage 1, Level 9 purple quality Battle Beast…”

“So it’s a support-type huh…” Locke nodded. He realized that Hobrick was quite attentive, but he felt that he had no need for Rosetti’s abilities.

As if the food had been prepared specifically for Lawrence alone, the fatty had been eating and drinking nonstop as soon as he got on the train. He had eaten so much that Locke was beginning to wonder whether Lawrence’s stomach was a bottomless pit.

“It’s your turn.” Locke told him.

Lawrence smiled awkwardly. “Hehe… My Battle Beast’s special ability is the same as mine. We specialize in eating. It’s also a Stage 1 Level 9 purple rare rank Battle Beast.”

Lawrence was an honest soul. He constantly scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

Rosetti was amused by his funny expressions.

After wiping his mouth, Lawrence asked, “Rosetti, I remember that you entered the school last year. With your strength, you should be able to enter the Diamond Class, right?”

“Hehe… I hated Adrian. Since he was lording over the Diamond District, I’d rather stay in the Gold Class instead…” Rosetti had blonde curly hair, and the sunlight that shone through the train’s window made her look like a goddess.

Lawrence blushed and gave her a thumbs up. “You have a great attitude! I admire girls like you!”

Locke interjected, “Lawrence, how long have you been in the academy?”

“Five years…”

Locke was immediately interested. He stood up and asked, “Under normal circumstances, you should have graduated in three and a half years. What’s keeping you in the academy?”

While scratching his head, Lawrence answered, “It’s due to how delicious the food in the academy is. I’m really reluctant to leave. I want to continue eating in the academy for another two years, hehe…”

‘What an honest response!’

Rosetti was amused by the chubby Lawrence once more.

“Since you’ve been in the academy for so long, what do you know about the Divine Class?” Since Locke had time to kill, he decided to ask Lawrence the question he was most curious about.

Lawrence raised his head and thought for a moment, then said, “Well… to be honest, the Divine Class is really mysterious. I haven’t seen any of its students before, and I don’t know how many people are there in the class.”

“The principal and Instructor John have never mentioned the class to the students before. So, long story short… I know nothing.”

‘What the hell is the old man doing in the Divine Class?’

‘Why is he being so secretive for?’

‘Moreover, not a single student from the Divine Class had stepped in during the previous two crises!’

‘What was the reason?’

‘Are the students addicted to studying? Or did Hobrick prevent them from participating?’

After giving it some thought, Locke believed that it was the latter case.

However, since Lawrence, who had already studied in the academy for five years, did not know, Locke could only ask Hobrick once he returned.

Locke found that the two students were very good-natured, polite, and cheerful. He listened to the two of them talk about the past of the academy.

“Lawrence, I heard that Principal Hobrick has met His Majesty the Emperor before. Is that true?” Rosetti looked curious.

“Yes! This is true! It was about 15 years ago. At that time, the Federal Academy was at its peak, and there were countless experts among our ranks! Therefore, His Majesty came to the campus for a tour and even bestowed a treasure to the principal. One of the old instructors even told me that the principal had a bright future ahead of him!” Lawrence exclaimed, while stuffing a piece of chicken into his mouth.

This made Rosetti very puzzled, she said, “I mean no offense in what I’m about to say. However, to be honest, I don’t think that there are many experts left in the academy. Although Instructor Tristan and Jacques are very strong, the other instructors are… Forgive me for being blunt, but they are just experienced. They don’t really fit the definition of experts.”

Locke nodded subconsciously. He agreed with Rosetti’s words very much.

After all, in the previous two major crises, there were only a few instructors who showed up.

It was up to Instructor Tristan, Jacques, and John to deal with the situation.

In the end, Hobrick always needed to step up.

Since Diana had no combat capabilities, the students had left her out of the discussion.

“Could it be that something had happened a decade ago that caused the experts to leave or… Die?” Rosetti looked serious as a detective.

Locke realized that the girl with fairy-like features was rather gossipy.

However, the question had stumped Lawrence. He shook his head and put on a serious look. “My thoughts are actually the same as yours, but whenever I ask this question, the old instructors tend to shift topics immediately…”

At this point, the fatty and the fairy looked at each other like detectives and said in unison, “There’s definitely something wrong!”

Following that, the two of them started chatting again.

Locke found the scene rather funny. Their appearances aside, Locke felt that the two of them were quite a good match. Both of them were rather gossipy, after all.

However, it was also thanks to their chat that Locke discovered another strange problem in the Federal Academy.

‘What happened, 15 years ago…’

Lawrence continued, “I heard that there will be many big shots attending the martial arts display. The secretary general of the prime minister is among one of the attendees!”

“Really? Looks like we have to perform well! We’ll bring glory to the academy!” Rosetti’s beautiful eyes flashed.

However, Lawrence’s face was bitter. “Don’t get your hopes up too high. To tell the truth, our academy is the weakest among the top three academies…”

“We’re just riding on the coattails of our past…”
