The next day Zaiden went to master Michal again, while Curtis split as usual to sort out his own stuff. The butler was supposed to stay in interaction with Zaiden, they both shared the mission. While the boy was on his way to the master, Curtis attempted to peek in the system once again. He wanted clarity about the mission and the time limit, which made him concerned about Zaiden' mental growth. No doubt now both the matters were interrelated, hence needed to be tackled together.
"Show me the menu bar."
[Menu bar initiating]
[Player 1 | Demonic host | Zaiden Rivers]
[Player 2 | Ghost partner | Curtis Sanders]
[Quest 1: Destroy the vampire realm]
[Quest 2: Unidentified]
"Damn! This is a long bar of quests to accomplish. How far this game will go, huh?"
Curtis skipped all the quest row and slipped towards the other options. He had already seen the details about themselves. And after coming back from Hexaphere Zaiden's attunement level had recovered, but the mental sphere rack remained immoveable.
[On ground realm | Details]
[Under ground realm | Details]
[Sky realm | Details]
"Hm? There are so many options, this is kinda good. At least I have this...this system notepad to put things on. I miss using the technology of human realm, these fuckers have advanced tech too. I wonder when they will allow the disciples to experience that shit."
Curtis had wandered around the academy and due to the biggest factor involved in being a celestial creature, he was able to pass through walls without triggering the security sirens. He spotted the basement factory where they made the weapons from the mana. And many other gadgets from Hexaphere which were molded into the desired need.
"Nonetheless, let's see what these options lead to."
The butler intended to explore how the system worked, since now he had the liberty to operate it up to his will. Moreover he expected to find some clue about the possible ways to end that mission.
"Open the details about 'on ground' realms."
He was 'sitting' on the roof of the academy, while the invisible screen popped up in the air. Curtis acknowledged that there was a huge gap between his and Zaiden's mentality. He had to protect the kid, no matter how witty and observant Zaiden was...he couldn't match his level in various practical aspects.
[On ground realm | Details initiating]
[Vampire realm | four kingdoms]
Curtis didn't bother to look at the rest options, he jumped straight to the priority. While master Michal was out for some work, and Zaiden had to wait for his arrival.
[East kingdom | Solaria]
[West kingdom | Xandaya]
[North kingdom | Glacial]
[South kingdom | Vesper]
"Such weird names, only two of them make scene according to their zones."
He stared at them for a moment before casting a look at the sky.
"Show me what are these kingdoms famous for? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Give me a detailed report on it."
Curtis irked upon the fact that he was obliged to believe the report prepared by the system.
He was adapting to the changes slowly but the agitation remained there. Curtis used to supervise the stuff all by himself but now he couldn't question the system's accuracy.
'So far the things seem to be accurate. Hope, we won't fail the mission because of some misrepresentation of a figure or information.'
His habit to question things which was a soliloquy phase earlier, now surfaced again. However he never had any objections or say in Zaiden's matters. Curtis keenly glanced at the first two reports and opened a new tab to jot down important pointers.
[Kingdom Solaria | Completed report]
- Strength:
* Technological molding
* Elemental skilled professors
* Mana boosting atmosphere
* Training grounds for each element
* Rune hub

* Spells experts
- Weakness:
* Disastrous climatic conditions

* Spending big chunk on army
* Weak economy
* Starvation
* Mutations and disabled vampires
"This is pretty questionable. I don't know what the higher ups of this kingdom are doing. But they could have drafted out a stable plan. Nevermind, the situation seems to be in our favour."
Curtis began to dig in the facts and decided to take a stroll outside the academy. He needed to check the outside situation to determine the accuracy, before executing a plan to proceed with.
