"The principal's arrival, before me killing you, is a naked proof that you are unlucky!" iterated the halfling John and started walking away from Dreamer.
"Mr. John!" called Dreamer.
After hearing Dreamer's call, the halfling John turned back to listen to what Dreamer had to say.
"I may be unlucky but I have a feeling that I am the luckiest unlucky person!" said Dreamer with a smile.
The Halfling John didn't understand what Dreamer meant by these words so he just clicked his tongue and spoke.
"Kid! You don't know the gravity of the situation. Keep talking like this and you won't even know what hit you."
And after saying this the halfling John walked towards the principal and stood behind him.
"John! Go inside the academy and find the announcement room on the first floor. Then announce that the S rank sword has been found and it is going to be shown in just 1 hour. And make sure that everyone who was present before should be present this time too. Got it?" ordered Vrama.
"Yes sir! But why in 1 hour? You can kill this boy in just 1 minute so why make them wait for 1 hour?" asked halfling John.
At this question, principal Vrama curled up his lips and spoke with a creepy smile.
"Do you even need to ask? I will make him beg for death and I will give him so much pain that he will give the sword by himself just to make me stop giving him pain and these things will not take 1 minute, they will take way more than 1 minute. Now go and do what I said!"
After hearing Vrama's order the halfling John just nodded and walked towards the academy but before entering the academy he looked at Dreamer who was still standing in a vigilant state.
And while looking at Dreamer, he just clicked his tongue and moved his head left and right as if he was pitying Dreamer. And after doing all this the halfling John went inside the academy to make the announcement.
"Why are you standing there? I thought you wanted to kill me!" asked Dreamer in a curious tone.
"Have patience boy! You will surely die. I am just waiting for John to make the announcement and all these people to go inside the academy again." replied Vrama in an angry tone.
"Oh, so you can't kill me with this many people around! I see. Thanks for telling me." said Dreamer in a playful tone.
"Hahaha! Don't get any wrong ideas boy. I can kill you whenever I want. Your only saviour was that VIP person and he is not here now. So no one can stop me." scoffed Vrama in an arrogant manner.
After hearing this Dreamer stopped smiling and became anxious for the first time since he came here.
'He is right! No one can stop him because if someone among these people can stop him then they wouldn't have been running around like cattles.' thought Dreamer in an anxious tone.
'But, if that's the case then why is he waiting for the people to get inside the academy?' asked Dreamer in his mind.
'My lord, he once told me that his real appearance is not what he shows to everyone, instead it is something that no one has seen.
And I am sure that many have seen his real form, but I am also sure that they never lived further to share that tale to anyone. So the reason he is waiting for the people to get inside must be because he wishes to fight with you in his real form.' explained Liberi through his mind.
But after hearing Liberi's explanation, Dreamer wasn't sure whether to feel relieved that his question was answered or he should feel sad because the principal is going to show his real form and kill him.
Still, while feeling all this he still made sure to appreciate Liberi's effort.
'Thank you, Liberi! That's so...umm...reassuring! I guess.' replied Dreamer in a confused manner.
'Thank you, my lord. But I am not completely sure that this is the exact reason for his waiting.' said Liberi.
'Is that so? Then let's just ask him directly!'
"Hey, Vrama! Why are you waiting for the people to go inside the academy. Do you feel shy to fight in front of a crowd?" asked Dreamer with a smug face.
"Hahaha, boy! That's Sir Vrama for you. And you are in no position to joke with me. But still I will tell you, I want to show you something and I can't show it in front of a crowd. Just wait patiently for your death!" replied Vrama with a creepy smile on his face.
'There, you have it! You were right.' said Dreamer after hearing Vrama's answer.
'Yes, my lord.' replied Liberi in a respectful tone.
'Well, leaving these things aside. I have something to tell you. So, listen care….'
TUNG!
TUNG!!
TUNG!!!
Dreamer was just about to tell something to Liberi but a familiar sound of a bell rang three times and caught everyone's attention.
And after the bell ringing ended, an announcement followed.
"Dear customers who have arrived here to attend this auction. I am here to announce something on behalf of the principal, Mr. Vrama Lascot.
He says he found the S rank sword and it will be auctioned in 1 hour. So he wants all of you to get inside the academy for the auction again. And he says sorry for the inconvenience you all have faced." announced the halfling John.
The announcement was heard by everyone. Be it the people who were leaving on their carriage, the people who were running around in fear and all the people who were around the academy.
"Is this true?"
"The sword is found!"
"The principal was telling the truth?"
"I am going again, I came here for the sword after all."
Discussions started between people and eventually everyone agreed to attend the auction again.
Dreamer was looking around in the crowd as if he was looking for someone in the crowd.
'Dammit! Looks like that man really left.' said Dreamer to himself.
Dreamer was looking for the VIP man but to no avail he didn't see him. He thought that the VIP man might help him but the VIP man was nowhere to be found. So, Dreamer arrived at the conclusion that he can only depend on himself for this.
'Liberi! I was about to tell you a plan but got interrupted by the bell and announcement and by looking at the people's pace they will completely enter inside the academy in just five minutes. So I want you to listen to my plan very carefully. Understand!?' ordered Dreamer.
'Yes! My lord.' replied Liberi.
'Yeah. So listen, when Vrama…"
Dreamer explained his plan to Liberi for a full four minutes and asked Liberi for his views or suggestions.
'My lord, your plan is great as always but it only depends on the reaction the principal will give.' commented Liberi.
'Yeah, I know. But it's the only thing we can do.' said Dreamer and waited for people to go inside the academy.
Eventually, everyone went inside the academy and Vrama started to walk towards Dreamer in slow steps.
"Now. This time, tell me honestly." said Vrama while walking slowly.
"What!?" asked Dreamer in a somewhat afraid manner.
He was really feeling scared right now as this is gonna be his first fight since he got his system. So he was bound to get scared.
And after realising that Dreamer is scared, a creepy smile crept on Vrama's face again, but this time it was more wide.
He was walking at a steady pace and with his creepy smile and in a loud voice, he answered,
"Nothing hard. I am just asking the same question I asked inside and that is how would you like to die!?"
