Chapter 126 The Dungeon of Maya! Part-2.
Lia glanced at Riya who was staring at her smartphone while nibbling on candies.
Riya had a confused look on her face, she glanced at her smartphone and the surroundings, back and forth.
"My sister said that we have to arrive at 9:00 AM, but it\'s already been half an hour, I wonder where she is…" (Riya)
Riya then glanced at Link who was standing there silently nearby like a \'concrete pillar\' and asked in a confused tone.
"Should I go look for her in the principal\'s office…. She wasn\'t there when I went there earlier to grab some snacks, perhaps she might have come back…." (Riya)
Link slowly opened his eyes, exhaled heavily, and then replied in a rare calm tone:
"No need… let\'s just wait a bit… she\'s an SS-ranker, she can easily open a portal to get here…. She must be busy with something, that\'s why she isn\'t here yet…" (Link)
Listening to Link\'s rare calm and determined tone, Lia tilted her head in confusion and asked Riya in a bewildered tone:
"What happened to him… why is he acting so weird all of a sudden?..." (Lia)
Lia glanced at Link and then asked again:
"He\'s kind of acting like Rio…" (Lia)
Riya shook her head and replied:
"He said he made a bet with Rio, \'That if he lost in a race to the main gate, he would have to act like Rio…\', I think he lost…" (Riya)
Although Riya had whispered in a low voice, to prevent Link from hearing her, Link still heard her loud and clear, veins bulged on his forehead due to anger and he barely suppressed himself from banging his head on the nearby wall. (He felt ashamed that Riya knew about his loss.)
"I-I didn\'t lose! That guy cheated on purpose!" (Link)
Link pointed his index finger and glared at Rio who was standing nearby with an expressionless face, but Rio didn\'t even pay it any mind and didn\'t even bother to look at Link for a single second.
Seeing that Rio was ignoring him, Link was even more frustrated. (Actually, Link wanted to ask Rio if he could learn some cooking skills from Lia, he wanted to cook some delicious meals for Riya to show her that his handmade food was better than those measly candies.)
(But due to his pride he ended up saying:- \'Let\'s make a bet! If I reach the main gate before you, then I will get to ask Lia about how to cook a sweet cake and if I lose then I will imitate your stone face the whole day!\')
Rio wasn\'t even going to let him his way around, moreover, speed is Rio\'s specialty, Link lost at the very first few seconds of the race\'s starting. (If Link had directly asked Lia for advice, he could have avoided his doom easily and Rio wouldn\'t have objected at all if Lia agreed to his request, but Link had to uphold his pride! he thought where would his face go if he asked for someone\'s help!)
(Link had never asked anyone for help at all. He\'s the type of guy who would rather die than abandon his pride and ask others for help. )
While Link continued to glare at Rio fiercely, Rio just ignored him and thus several minutes went by, yet there was no sign of Raji\'s arrival.
Riya had already finished her third candy box and even she was starting to get annoyed.
…
(After 15 minutes.)
While everyone had a bored look on their face, Rio finally opened his closed eyes and said in an emotionless tone.
"A convoy is coming here… there are 20 B-rankers, 5-A rankers…" (Rio)
Link glanced at Rio and nodded his head.
"It must be her bodyguards, I also didn\'t expect her to bring a whole convoy just to escort us… this is kind of weird…" (Link)
Riya glanced at Rio in confusion and asked Link with a shocked expression on her face:
"How does he know all of this! Can he read the future!?" (Riya) (She is too na?ve to know about skills like detection... forgive her foolishness and move on...)
Link shook his head and replied.
"No no, his detection skills are quite good I think… he must have detected them coming here…" (Link)
Link glanced at Rio and asked in a curious tone:
"By the way, how far can you detect, you were able to detect that royal demon too during the final exams..." (Link)
Rio replied in an emotionless tone:
"The limit is 1.5 kilometers for now… I can\'t detect people above A-rank though… that\'s why, I can\'t confirm if she\'s in the convoy or not…" (Rio)
Hearing Rio, Link had a shocked expression on his face, even Lia looked at Rio in bewilderment.
"So far!? You are insanely proficient at this! Ugh… I lost again!" (Link)
Link shook his head in regret. He has also learned a detection technique but, he\'s not even one-tenth of Rio\'s level.
\'Damn it! I need to work even harder from now on! This guy\'s progresses extremely fast!\' (Link)
[Hehe, I can help Lia detect in a 3 km radius though…]
Suddenly Kai appeared on Lia\'s shoulder and mocked Link using telepathy.
Several veins on Link\'s head bulged in anger after hearing Kai\'s mocking tone.
\'Damn it! Even some random animals are looking down on me now! Damn it all!\' (Link)
Even though Link was frustrated at the many defeats he faced today, he couldn\'t do anything but stomp his feet on the ground in anger. He didn\'t even dare shout his anger out for fear of startling Riya.
While the four of them waited for the convoy to arrive, time passed slowly and a few more minutes flew by.
…
(Random Explanations Starts)
The SS-rankers are famous people so, they have to keep a few bodyguards around in case some fans try to block their way. The bodyguards are there to keep people out of their way not to protect them. An SS-ranker is capable of shattering continents, they don\'t need any bodyguards to protect them.
Those bodyguards are there for just convenience.
(There is a famous meme on the internet about this weird situation, that is: "If you ever feel useless, just remember there exist people who work as bodyguards for SS-rankers…", this is a very famous depression-relieving meme on the internet of this world.)
If you are wondering why not use the portal ability, to avoid such bothersome ways of transport, then the answer is simple. It\'s all about personal preference, Most of the time, SS-rankers use portals to get to their desired locations, but it doesn\'t hurt to experience the \'way of a normal human\' every once in a while too.
Experiencing a normal human\'s life is a time-killing method for them, it helps in calming the distracted mind after months of killing and fighting in the dungeons.
(Random Explanation Ends.)
…
The convoy of Raji Croft finally arrived in front of the main gate of the academy.
The luxury car of Raji Croft stopped right in front of the four of them and several a bodyguard got down from one of the muscle cars behind the luxury car.
The bodyguard walked towards the luxury car and respectfully opened the door with his Right hand, and his other hand signaled the four of them to get inside.
"Please, get in." (Bodyguard)
The bodyguard had impeccable mannerisms, he seemed to be professionally trained for this kind of stuff.
The four of them didn\'t pay much attention to it though and hurriedly went in.
…
Inside the car.
The insides of this long car were spacious and luxurious to look at. (It\'s a lim*usine.)
Raji sat inside with the usual cold expression on her face and Riya directly sat beside her with a large smile on her face, she didn\'t care about anything else.
But the rest of the three cared, when they entered they found Liam sitting in the corner, he was shivering uncontrollably and looked like he had witnessed terror beyond imagination.
Only after Link and Rio sat beside him did he finally calm down a little bit. Lia sat beside Riya and Raji.
After the four sat down on their respective seats they were expecting the car to move but it didn\'t happen, and when the car didn\'t move for a few more minutes Riya couldn\'t help but question Raji.
"What happened, is it broken?" (Riya)
Raji glanced at Riya and said in a cold tone.
"It seems you are too heavy for it to carry and it\'s not able to move… you should stop eating so much, otherwise you will continue to become fatter and lazier!" (Raji)
Hearing Raji, Riya had a shocked look on her innocent face.
"What!? I am not fat!" (Riya)
"Pffft" (Link)
Link ended up laughing when he heard the two sisters arguing, which caused Riya to glare at him with an angry look on her cute face.
Raji shook her head and said:
"I am just kidding… it\'s because there\'s still two more students who haven\'t arrived yet…" (Raji)
"Hmm, there will be more?" (Lia)
Just when Lia was about to ask about who the other two were, the awaited guests arrived and entered the car.
"Sorry Ms. Raji, we were late." (Kira)
Two most unexpected guests had entered the group.
At the last moment, an unexpected turn of events has happened it seems, Fade and Kira are also going to be part of the raiding team now.
