TOFD 320

Lucky 320

After swimming and eating lunch, Lou bid her goodbye and went to her next subject. Unlike Shoujo who had free time, Lou had a hectic schedule. 

Shoujo was actually doing her best to help Lou take some time to relax. After all, the woman was too serious in her life and she always prioritized work and studies. 

"If not for me..."

She stopped talking when she sensed multiple people hiding in the dark. 

"What do you want?"

Her voice changed from playful to being serious and heavy. There was no hint of nervousness or fear. Her ability to control her emotions was top notch considering that she was a Highly famed actress. 

"We are the Council of Torment. We are here to negotiate."

The people spoke at the same time as if they were one entity. 

Shoujo's eyes glinted. 

"Interesting..."

A mocking smile appeared on her face.

...

Daylight. 

A tall guy was currently cleaning his bar since there were no customers. The man's name was Berto Alb, he was Calix's uncle but both of them didn't know that. Perhaps fate was playing games on them. 

While wiping the table, Berto frowned when he realized that a person was approaching his bar. 

"Tch, he didn't even hide his identity."

He clicked his tongue in annoyance. He already promised that he would never work again. He was already tired of bloodshed, the fact that he could not help but dream of hell was making it worse too. 

The unknown man was wearing an emblem of Horvart on his shirt.

"Berto."

"Shut up, Berto's not here."

He replied coldly and focused on wiping the table. He retired long ago. 

'If not because of the Blood Moon, these people will not contact me.'

He didn't have a choice but to use his ability to fight the Aberrants. Unlike Dellia which has Obice, Junian was free for the flying monsters to attack.

Berto fought the strong monsters and his lost contacts began talking to him again realizing that his fangs were still sharp. 

"The Principal needs you."

"Tell him that I don't want to. Now, can you please stop bothering me? I'm already finished, I don't want to return to the battlefield again."

Berto was not stupid. Junian and Dellia were currently having disputes and there was a strong chance that a war might happen. Berto's brother-in-law was a General of Dellia and guarding the Border. If he joined the battle, then they would definitely face each other because of their strength. 

'I don't have any feelings for Andreas but I don't want to make his son lose his father.'

That's right, he was doing it for Calix whom he never met for almost two decades. 

'He is my nephew... But if I really met Andreas on the battlefield, I'll definitely beat his ass. That motherfucker let my sister die, I have to make sure that he knows what he did.'

Ahem, it seemed that Berto hated Andreas. He was confident in defeating Andreas. 

"Tell the Principal that I will not return. Besides, you have tons of TA Users in your organization, why are you keep asking me?"

"Because your Term Attributes are special."

"Fuck off."

"Don't worry, we will never force you to join the war. There's still a chance to fix the disputes, the Principal is going to convince the King to settle the problem."

"I just hope that nothing bad will happen this time. You know that three countries had a war four decades ago."

He reminded. 

"Sigh... So what do you want me to do this time?"

He lost his temper and decided to listen first before he agree to it. If it was too dangerous, he would never accept the job. 

"It's about the University. We found that the Council of Torment made a move and some of them infiltrated the University. Your child is currently studying in the University--"

"I accept."

Berto decided that this job was meant for him. First, he had a grudge against the Council of Torment. Second, his child might be endangered. 

"We know that you will once you heard about it."

The man nodded.

"Just leave already, I still have something to do."

He coldly replied.

"... Okay."

Now that Berto, the Hell Summoner, agreed, there was no reason to stay anymore. The man from Horvart University left quickly just like how he appeared.

"Things are getting complicated..."

He didn't want to jinx it, but he felt that the Council's movement was related to the upcoming war. After all, the Council of Torment's sole purpose was to spread despair.

......

...

Two months passed and Calix's situation was better compared to earlier. He already made friends and his life as a college student was simple and complete.

He would attend lectures and he would hang out with his friends. Of course, to make sure that he won't have a Backlash, the girls kept showing every night. 

In fact, he was holding different girls every night. It seemed that the harem made an agreement and settled their problem. Now each girl would have a night with Calix and the complete cycle was every six days. 

While having his time, Calix already read the files that the spy gave to him. In his opinion, only 15% of the files might help him. 

'I'm gonna leave the University next week.'

It was awkward to leave the University right after he just went there so he decided to pass some time. Next week was a whole week's holiday. 

"It's the week of Freedom. Junian is celebrating the abolishing of the Slavery of Demihumans."

It was the right time to take his move. His first step was to contact an old woman who knew something about Dark Elves. She was the closest to the University, she was living in the capital, Melbed.
