Chapter 209: Strange Report

The Incubus System Chapter 209. Strange Report

It was 02.54 PM and my class was almost over. As usual, my lecturer was still speaking at the front, while I wrote his explanation in my book. Occasionally, my eyes glanced at the front as my hand continued to write. Likewise, with the others.

”Iʼm hungry ...” Larryʼs weak voice came from beside me. I snorted annoyed and turned to him since he said the same thing over and over again even though I had ignored him.

Larryʼs chin pressed against the desk. His eyes looked at my lecturer lazily, his hand that was on the desk stopped moving his pen onto his book which was full of messy writing.

”Move your hand, the class is almost over,” I said in a low voice with a frown. I was also hungry since I didnʼt have time to grab my lunch earlier, but I still could concentrate throughout our class. Also, even though I had to run to my class earlier, at least I wasnʼt late like him. I thought he was late because he had to take care of another demonʼs attack, but judging from his full MP, it shouldnʼt be.

As I turned my gaze forward and went back to write, he whined again.

”But I canʼt concentrate when Iʼm hungry ...”

”Then just write down what he (the lecturer) said,” I replied nonchalantly. My hand was busy moving on my book. As long as he wrote the explanation there should be a thing or two that stuck into his head.

”Can we grab some snack after this?” he said in the same weak tone.

A breath escaped my mouth before I answered.

”Fine.” Our dinner would start at 04.30 PM so we couldnʼt eat heavy meals before that.

After that, he sighed once again, as if his lifeʼs burden was too heavy for him before he grabbed his pen and moved his hand.

* Ringgg !!! *

A few minutes later, the bell rang and the lecturer stopped his explanation. His hands tidied up all his items on his desk.

”Good luck with your exam, class.” Then he walked to the exit.

My hand tidied my book into the bag. While Larry was waiting for me excitedly with a smile on his face. His book and all of his equipment had ʼmagicallyʼ teleported into his bag as if he was a magician. It was a normal thing for him, he would be sleepy or whine during class, but after the class finished, suddenly his strength returned.

”Cʼmon,” he said impatiently.

I zipped my bag and stood up.

”Letʼs go.”

We walked to the Cafeteria and queued at the counter to order a sandwich for our snack. And as usual, at this hour, the queue was quite long.

”What did you do before coming here? Why havenʼt you had your lunch yet?” I asked. Even though Larry was a mess especially for his academics, he usually ate on time to keep his health, at least for the past year. Of course apart from last Sunday since he was so depressed after losing his friend.

”I took care of something important before I came here,” he said with a tired huff.

Looking at his reaction, I guessed it had something to do with association. Since I couldnʼt ask directly, I decided to find it out another way.

”Does this have anything to do with your guild in that online game?”

”Yeah. Something like that.”

”What happened? Tell me.”

He turned to me and frowned in confusion since I hardly ever showed my interest when he talked about games.

”Are you sure you want to know?” he made sure in disbelief.

”Yeah. At least I want to get some updates about nowadaysʼ games,” I reasoned. I hadnʼt played games anymore since my father passed away.

The look in his eyes turned serious as if he was a different person from the messy slacker who sat next to me in class earlier.

”Well ... My guild just had a sudden meeting earlier. The higher-ups said they just got a couple of urgent and strange reports last night.”

”About what?” I asked. My brain was guessing about what the reports were since too many had happened last night. Has someone seen me in my Demonic Form on the Tempestechnologies? Or was it the report regarding last nightʼs demon attack? Or ...

”They said the energy disturbance that protects the humans from monsters is getting worse. And they predict something will happen soon,” he said in the same serious tone.

Tania also said the same thing before, but at least I knew the association had realized this.

”Then, what will your guild do to fix it?”

He shook his head from side to side with an apologetic expression.

”We canʼt do anything as long as we donʼt know the cause. In the meantime, they are still investigating it and trying to find a way out to fix it. But from the last investigationʼs results, the cause comes from our side, not from the enemy side.”

Although I was sceptical that they would be able to deal with it after finding out the source, at least they had been on alert now. After I listened to Taniaʼs explanation last night, I was really worried about the Demon Hunter Association. As ironic as it may sound, I thought my revenge plan to take over the demon hunter association wasnʼt bad for the humans or the demon hunters. Since they were quite clueless and unprepared to deal with the demon attacks. If I took over that association, I could prevent them from doing stupid things that could exacerbate this problem and improve the relationship between the demon hunters and the demons who helped Lord Damon.

In the middle of my thoughts, suddenly Larry spoke again.

”There is also another strange report. Our member reported that he was attacked by the monster army last night. He was dying, but when he opened his eyes he was already in the hos --- I mean the healer place, unscathed. We asked who brought him to that place, but the guards said they found him unconsciously in front of the entrance. We also checked the footage from the CC --- I mean the spy crystal, but it was broken... ”Larry furrowed his brows in confusion.

From there, I concluded that Tania and Sarael had succeeded to bring the demon hunter to the hospital without being caught last night.

”But it should be fine as long as he survived, right?” I said.

Larry looked at me with a frown with a serious face.

”Dude, didnʼt you hear what I said? That member was surrounded by the monster army and he was sure he was going to die. He was badly injured, but when he opened his eyes he was already healed. There wasnʼt even a single wound on his body. Not only that, that mysterious man also saved him from those monsters. And according to his Monster Compass, they were powerful monsters. It doesnʼt make sense! ” he said as if he vented all his curiosity to me. He took a deep breath to calm himself before speaking again.

”Moreover, they said the one who helped our member did not come from my guild.”

”The world is wider than you thought. There could be other fighters out there who have the same goals as your guildʼs. Itʼs just that they donʼt want to join your guild.” Actually, we didnʼt want to since we were the demons themselves.

Larry was silent for a moment. From the look in his eyes, I could tell his mind wasnʼt there.

”Maybe --- I think I know this person since he helped me and my friends once. But I never saw his face.” From his words, I knew he meant when I helped him, Theo and Emma, last week. He sighed.

”Iʼve never felt so useless like this before. At least, not in this kind of fight,” he said in a gloomy tone.

I gave a pat on his shoulder to cheer him up.

”The world will keep changing. But thatʼs not a reason to give up.” He was still devastated because he just lost his friend. With that report, now he knew that the borders between the human world and the demon world could be destroyed at any time.

”Besides, with that incident, doesnʼt it mean that your guild did not fight alone against those monsters?” I added.

His smile started to appear. Her eyes filled with determination.

”Youʼre right ... Next, I have to ask that mysterious man to teach me to level up faster,” he said with a clenched fist like a warriorʼs pose in a game.

”That way I will become the strongest warrior soon --- Wahahahaha!”

I facepalmed upon his loud laughter. While the students around us turned to us. I could guess what he meant by being the strongest warrior was he wanted to be the best demon hunter, just like my father. Although I didnʼt doubt his ability, his childish attitude was something else.

ʼWell, at least he has returned to his usual self.ʼ
