Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey-Chapter 367: Artifact Frenzy Quest [1]

"Life is sure bitter and hard."

I muttered under my breath as I tried to meditate in my apartment room.

It’s been almost week since I became personal secretary of Seraphina and let me say this one word.

’It was fucking hard.’

But thankfully I had to this job twice a week, Monday and Saturday.

The reason? It’s because I was not the official member of student council.

Of course, Seraphina tried pursue me to join student council but I firmly rejected her.

I just don’t want to die from the pressure.

Anyway, today is Saturday and I had done my job her secretary and after that we went to her personal training ground.

Where we had light spar and after that Seraphina thought me some fight lessons.

I was trying to remember everything I had gone through since I started being trained by Seraphina.

I had already made it a habit to meditate after finishing my training and replay the events of the day going through over it again and if I finds something interesting, I would writes it in my diary along with the mistakes i had made.

This helps me more way then I had thought, by doing this I could remember any mistakes i have made during my traning with Seraphina and I would try to improve from this mistakes of mine which I was making.

Tringg...Tringg...Tringg

At that moment, my smart watch vibrat.

I frowend as my concentration broken by the sound my smart watch.

After Few second of silence, i decided to check my messages box and when I opened the message I saw the name of person which I wasn’t expecting too see.

It was Evelyn...

She’s is not type of person who would send me message despite our history.

Anyway, let’s check the content of message.

As I opened click on message, a picture was appears in front of me.

Along with a short message.

***

Inside a tranquil library, the only sounds present were the sound of pencils scratching on paper and the sound of pages turning.

"...."

In this dead-silent atmosphere, Evelyn was staring fixedly at a reference book. She tried to study, but unable to achieve her goal, she could only mess with her hair idly.

[It is important to calculate the density of magic power in a Dungeon. This is one of the most important skills for a Hero to have. This is because a Dungeon’s magic power density can suddenly change depending on what happens inside the Dungeon.

Take a look at the following formula...

...

...

Example 1) Suppose that a magic surge happens in a medium-sized Dungeon with twelve shadow wolves...]

"Why do I have to learn this?"

Evelyn murmured silently and leaned back.

She couldn’t even solve the first example. She was okay with memorization courses, but she could do nothing about the damned Magic Density Analysis, which was full of calculations.

"...."

She glanced to the side in despair. Rachel was sitting there with an empty seat between them.

In truth, Evelyn sat here on purpose. She wanted to peek at Rachel.

From the side, Elera looked a bit sullen. With her chin resting on her palm, she seemed to be in deep thought, worrying about something.

’I guess she has her own troubles.’

It seemed she couldn’t come to a conclusion, as she suddenly turned on her smartwatch. Then, she hesitated for a moment before shaking her head and turning it off.

"...What’s up with her?"

Evelyn muttered softly and turned back to her reference book.

[Example 1) Suppose that a magic surge happens in a medium-sized Dungeon with twelve shadow wolves...]

She stared at the words, but nothing entered her mind. Without a choice, she held up her smartwatch. Then, she took a picture of the page with the watch’s built-in camera. Find more to read at novelbuddy

Next, she looked through her contact list. Someone who could help her... was Lucas.

[Help me with this]

She typed this message, then erased it. It felt too impudent.

[Can you help me with this? I’ll buy you food]

"No, this one doesn’t feel right either."

[You’re a genius if you can solve this! ㅋㅋㅋ]

"This seems a bit stupid..."

After much thought, she made her message as courteous as it could be.

[Can you please teach me how to solve this problem?]

Then, she put down her smartwatch.

1 minute, three minutes, five minutes... Time flew by.

’Is he not going to reply?’ When Evelyn was about to put her reference book away with a sullen face, her smartwatch rang.

"Ooh!"

Evelyn hurriedly checked the content.

Lucas had sent a very kind and detailed solution.

"Heehee."

Evelyn’s face lit up as she read through Lucas’s detailed explanation. She marveled at how clearly he had broken down each step, making the previously incomprehensible problem seem almost simple. With renewed energy, she took out her notebook and began to copy down Lucas’s solution, making sure to understand each part thoroughly.

After a few minutes, she managed to solve the example problem on her own. A small smile crept onto her face as she realized she was finally making progress.

"Thank you, Lucas," she whispered to herself, feeling a mixture of gratitude and admiration.

Back in his apartment, Lucas sat on his bed, staring at the message from Evelyn. He couldn’t help but feel a bit of satisfaction. Despite their complicated history, it felt good to be able to help her. He typed a quick reply.

[I’m glad I could help. Let me know if you need any more assistance.]

He hit send and then went back to his meditation, feeling a bit more at ease. It was moments like these that reminded him of the connections he still had, even in this new, unpredictable life.

At that moment, a new notification pop on Lucas smart watch, braking Lucas concentration yet again.

With small sigh, Lucas check the message and it was from professor Lillian.

The content of the message Was.

[On the Monday, next week we will Artifact Frenzy Quest. Be Prepared everyone~]

Looking at this message, Lucas narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath.

"So it’s time for next event to start."

***

At the same time, in different apartment room Ella also received announcement of the message from Lillian but at the same time she also received another message.

The message was not at her academy smart watch but on private one.

Ella started to read the message with narrowed.

[Ella, you will have to pick up an item during this week’s Monday class. It will help you in your mission. I’ll tell you about the details tomorrow.]

"An item? What could it be?"

Ella muttered under her breath as she read content of message, at that moment she received another message.

[Mondeys class will be Artifact Frenzy Quest. There is an administrative center in the B-3 zone on the lowest floor. The item will be left there. The administrative center will be empty from 11:00 to noon, so take it during that time.]

Ella stared at the message, her mind racing. An Artifact Frenzy Quest was not something to take lightly, especially if it involved retrieving a potentially important item. She knew she would have to be cautious and plan carefully.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "I need to be ready for anything," she whispered to herself. With that thought, she began to strategize, thinking of the best route to the administrative center and the most discreet way to retrieve the item without drawing attention.

Meanwhile, back in his apartment, Lucas was also preparing for the Artifact Frenzy Quest.
