VIP Chapter 100: Inquiring About One Person
“This is fine. The carriage to pick me up should be here soon.”
“Then I’ll slip in ahead. To be honest… I have some negative opinions about the Royal Family, and I really don’t want to run into them.”
“Teacher Liya, just the coachman should be fine, right~”
“I don’t want to see the coachman either… It… it reminds me of some armored vehicles that shouldn’t appear…”
Will and Iaar escorted Treya and Liya to the school entrance. This was to allow Treya to disguise herself and wander around the school. Liya also returned to school with them.
Although it was this time of day, the empty school made Treya look like she was breaking into the school at night to play ghost hunting adventure and then calmly achieving victory.
“Haha, I understand. Alright. However, regarding Treya, I can wait with you for a while longer.”
“I can manage by myself.”
Indeed.
Although she wasn’t carrying her sword now, Will had already experienced Treya’s pure physical prowess. She could knock out a person of considerable size with a single punch.
Treya, she might be a simple half-elf princess, a cute half-elf princess, an innocent half-elf princess.
But she was definitely not a weak half-elf princess!
With her ten laps of morning running every day and various physical training, Treya was capable of fighting several cows by herself.
“Uh… as a man, my pride won’t let me watch a girl stand alone at the empty school entrance.”
“Young Master is very responsible!”
“Besides… Iaar is here anyway.”
“Eh?”
“Mhm. Thank you, you two.”
Treya nodded and smiled faintly. For her, this smile was already considered a very happy one.
However…
Will stayed not only because he couldn’t bear to see the little princess standing alone at the school entrance.
He had one more thing he cared about, which reminded him of Treya’s uniform.
“By the way, Treya, about the matter I asked you to investigate before…”
The reason Treya was able to obtain a uniform so smoothly, and even have academic records, was because Entak’s various “academies”—such as the First Academy and Second Academy—were all backed by the Royal Family.
For the Royal Family, academies that others fought so hard to get into were like having direct control over a backdoor system.
They could place whoever they wanted, and even change a perfect exam paper to zero was easy.
Will only learned about this after he transmigrated.
And…
If he remembered correctly, Xiu, the protagonist of the original work—a teammate who wouldn’t be recruited until three years later, a logistics member with no news at all right now…
Was attending Entak Second Academy.
At least, that was the case at this current point in time.
He hadn’t given up investigating Xiu’s information over the past few years. But… as the protagonist, his background was too special. Even from what Will knew from the original work, many factions were involved in his origins, adding layers of secrecy.
But…
Perhaps when he was attending the academy, it would be a good time to investigate and expose him.
It was just a shame that he was really unfamiliar with the academy. The Hysterm Family was the only one lacking in resources related to the Royal Family, otherwise Carver wouldn’t have thought of currying favor with them.
He had asked Liya before, and Liya had no dealings with other academies—let alone the Second Academy, which valued combat more than research, making them completely unrelated.
Therefore, he had tried his best and finally wanted to see if Treya could help him find that person.
“In the letter you mentioned, you asked me to help investigate a male student named Xiu Polol at the Second Academy?”
“Yes, yes, it’s him. How was it? Did you find any information? Is he still enrolled? Or has he gone to the Dungeon for practical experience?”
“No. There is no such person at the Second Academy…”
“No… such a person?”
Will was somewhat surprised.
This was a bit strange…
The Royal Family should have the highest authority in investigating academies.
Even if someone wanted to hide it, it shouldn’t be impossible for even the Royal Family to find out.
Was he not at the school at this time?
Even if he wasn’t, there was no news left behind?
“Moreover, Polol is a common surname from a public welfare adoption agency, making it difficult to trace him through his family.”
“Yes, I know that.”
Will felt a bit helpless.
As expected, the protagonist was the protagonist.
There was only one guess: according to his fate, he shouldn’t know Xiu yet—so there were always mistakes preventing him from finding him.
Only this explanation seemed reasonable.
Forget it, if he couldn’t find him now, he couldn’t find him.
After all, fate wouldn’t change. In three years, he would come to his team as logistics no matter what.
He would just wait here!

“Yawn…”
Will and Iaar walked on their way back.
He had eaten quite a bit, so he might as well walk to help digest it.
However…
It seemed like it had been a long time since he enjoyed himself like this.
In his previous life, he didn’t have many friends, but he often went out for barbecue with his colleagues. After all, as a game designer, everyone was a vibrant young person.
Like today, they could cooperate as a whole team, say whatever they wanted…
How should I put it…
Before this, he had always been quite afraid of these “losers.”
Looking back with the memories from the original work, these three losers each had their own flaws—of course, they wouldn’t be losers if they didn’t.
The team founded by “Young Master Will,” called “Shining Star,” was also full of holes and problems…
But now…
There was Liya, who would actively instigate things, and despite being the smallest, always acted like the eldest and cared for everyone.
There was Treya, who was very quiet but diligent in her work, would take on tasks, and also try to express her emotions. She was the tallest but was always taken care of like a younger sister.
And then…
“Hehe, Young Master had a lot of fun today. Leave the tidying up to Iaar. Young Master should go upstairs and sleep.”
Iaar wagged her tail and ears, seeming quite happy.
This cheerful and obedient little maid acted as a bonding agent, busy from start to finish.
“You don’t seem tired at all.”
“This amount of work is only half a day’s work compared to my previous job at the manor.”
“…I think our manor should pay more attention to laborers’ working hours and physical health.”
This was the first time Will had realized Iaar was quite capable.
Especially when he was exhausted, and she was still hopping around like nothing happened.
Damn it, could it be that…
Iaar, as a beastkin, had better stamina than him, a weak human?
“Mhm… Well, thank you, Iaar.”
He gently stroked Iaar’s head.
“Mmm… Why… are you suddenly patting my head…”
“I just felt like a head with beast ears would feel really good to touch, hehe.”
Of course, the texture was indeed good, especially when his hand rubbed between the two fluffy ears.
Will smiled and walked back, bathed in the moonlight—especially since it was a full moon tonight.
He wished days like this could last a little longer.
