An hour later, he finally arrives at Ezlenmir Garden, a military base located inside a large dome the size of four football stadiums. The dome is not completely enclosed, but only a series of metal structures with hexagonal patterns resembling a honeycomb.
Considered as the safest place in Fracklosk, this dome can create some kind of barrier when needed, specifically built to protect the garden from missiles. The Great War can be said to have ended about a century ago, but with the small conflicts and skirmishes it left behind, peace is certainly not coming anytime soon.
Inside the dome, there are complex buildings in the middle of a small lake. There's also a big circle road surrounding the lake, and four overpasses crossing the water connecting the circle road to the complex area in the center.
Meanwhile, the boys' dormitory is located outside the lake on the easternmost side of the dome. It is built far apart from the girls' dormitory on the westernmost side. But strangely enough...
"What are they doing here this late?"
Atniel notices the presence of two girls who have just come out of the boys' dormitory. One of them has pointed ears similar to Elea. But she has tanned skin and black hair, and dark brown fur on her bottom legs. It's a girl from the fisherman elf tribe, who is considered as a tribe with dirty blood amongst the elves.
"Another descendant of Princess Louisia?"
And to his surprise, the other one is actually Irvine's girlfriend, a girl from the human race with an innocent face and long yellow hair named Maya Helzenski. As soon as he recognizes the girl's face more clearly, he immediately hides behind a hedge. But…
"Why am I hiding here? I could just use this chance to lecture the girl and bring her back to God's path!"
An urge to confront the girl grows. However, just before he decides to come out of hiding…
"Lily! Should we look for him outside?" The timid girl asks with an awry tone.
"Come on, Maya!" The elf girl named Lily weaves a sigh. "Irvine is not a weak guy like people say. He will definitely be in class tomorrow. Trust me!"
But anxiety is still clearly visible on Maya's face. "I am worried that something much worse than just bullying might have happened to him. You saw the video shared by the other students, right? What if he really tried to commit a suicide?"
As those two girls walk away, Atniel can only see Maya's back. But he clearly notices the anxiety in her soft voice. The fact that she is still worried about Irvine is so confusing to him.
"What a dumb girl! You just did an indecent act with four dudes, remember?!"
With a face looking so disinterested, he cancels his intention to lecture her after realizing how broken the girl's moral standards are.
Once he gets into Irvine's room, his attention is immediately drawn to a desktop. He turns on the computer, and to his surprise, he is welcomed by a girl's cute smile on the screen. It's Maya Helzenski during her junior high school days. She looks so simple and normal here, unlike the beauty he saw earlier.
He shakes his head with a sigh, and quickly opens a browser so that he no longer sees Maya's innocent face.
"After doing such a lewd act with them, she still had the audacity to look for you like nothing had happened."
"I'd like to beat them all up for you. But excuse me! There are more important things I have to do."
Diligently like a genuine detective solving a case, he starts busy surfing the internet all night long. He can't stop mesmerizing at the technology that is so new to him. But he is such a fast learner, and at least has learned a lot from Irvine's memory before this.
"This internet browser, it's so convenient! But I bet there's a risk of bad effects it brings to society."
"What's this? OnlyPorn? This is the first time I've encountered a word like…"
"Oh, God! No good! No good!"
He likes to get updated with the outside world as soon as possible, and also looking for any clue about the Nephilim he is looking for at the same time. This situation continues until dawn as he tries his best to fight the fatigue.
Well, despite his divine regeneration, that body still needs rest after all it has gone through. And then, just before dawn, he falls asleep so soundly. Oddly, only about 15 minutes into the deep sleep…
"Please! Help me!"
"Urgh! I can't… breathe!"
He starts being delirious in a hectic way. If someone sees how hectic he is, he will be confused if Irvine is really asleep or not.
And then, after a few hours being trapped in a nightmare, he starts begging to be woken up.
"Somebody. Please wake me up."
"Get me out of here. I can't…"
Srassh!!!
Someone kindly pours a bucket of water on his face. It causes him wake up in a panic state and falls from the chair, with his hands flailing as if he was being tossed around in a wild sea.
To his surprise, there's Elea Adlen holding a bucket, standing in front of him with glaring mad eyes. Now he starts thinking that he must have jumped to another nightmare.
"Aaah, shiit! Not this one!"
The elf girl snaps at his cluelessness and simply slams the already empty bucket on his head.
"How could you still be asleep at this hour?"
"Eh?"
Judging by his silliness, you can say this is not Atniel, but Irvine Donovan who has just woken up from his slumber.
And that's the brightest talent in Ezlenmir academy in his room, the one girl who is adored by everyone. Irvine is clearly not prepared to meet with such an idol, not mentioning being alone with her in his room.
"This must be a wet dream! No! Don't start it! I have a girlfriend!"
Elea snatches a pillow and then slams it on Irvine's head left and right. "Get the fuck out of here, you dickhead! Ezlenmir pays you for your service in maintaining the security of this country, not for comfortably sleeping in the dormitory!"
Irvine glances around observing his surroundings. Once he realizes that he is no longer in a dream world, he turns his attention back to the girl.
"You? How did you get into my room?"
Moments later, he realizes the girl only wearing a sports bra and a knee-length tight legging. It isn't clear what she has done before this. But she is already wet with sweat, and is now staring at him with mad eyes.
Terrified, Irvine simply begs with trembling fingers.
"Please! Don't rape me!"
