My Girlfriend is an S-Class Adventurer-Chapter 373 New Goals

If Mr. Max was taking advantage of this, it would be necessary for all possible locations to be checked at the same time. This way they would avoid creating suspicion or being discovered, and they would be able to gather all the necessary information to request his expulsion from the academy.

After rethinking and struggling to understand the different possibilities of what could occur. It was as if several movies were running through the girl's head, every possible scene or decision. The conclusion she had could solve all the problems that this plan could logically create.

Megan then decided to explain this idea. However, she was still a little afraid mainly because of the state Luke was in. With that, she looked at the two of them and after gathering some energy, she cleared her throat and began to speak:

*Cof, Cof*

"I think I've found a way to resolve that situation." Said the girl.

Luke and Meredith looked at her intently, the ears of the two half-beasts popped up as they both confirmed with their heads, waiting for the answer. Meredith's tail was swaying from side to side, while Luke was looking a little more serious.

Megan explained the different conclusions she had come to, the places where investigation would be needed, and how they could follow up to check those places. But still, there were some details still to be explained, which made the two half-beasts thoughtful again.

"We'll need to spy on Willford first. At least to make sure if he is conducting experiments in another room." Megan said.

Luke put his hand on his chin, and looking down, he made a somewhat complex expression.

"If we're going to need to investigate everything at the same time, it's going to be necessary to distract Willford. We can't let him walk around freely during the investigation, it would be disastrous if he found us, I don't even want to imagine what might occur."

"I have an idea how we can solve this, it was the second part of the plan" Megan said, still a little afraid.

"I'm all ears." Answered Luke. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

Again Megan had to muster up the courage to propose the solution to this. She just couldn't bring herself to speak directly what she wanted. After letting out a sigh, she continued.

"In the next two weeks the academy's battle royal tournament will begin. It's a way for students and researchers to demonstrate their mastery with spells during a small exhibition. It's not a championship, it's just small duels" Megan said.

"Then we just need me to challenge him to a fight. During that duel, we'll take the opportunity to investigate all the locations at the same time." Luke concluded.

This time, he would not leave Meredith or even Megan in danger. This whole situation gave Luke a certain feeling of guilt and anger, he surely wouldn't repeat the same mistakes of the past.

Meredith was obviously thinking about the same situation, she remembered how she had failed when she had accomplished practically the same thing. But leaving Luke in a duel to scavenge for information didn't seem so comforting. In the situation that the half-wolf was in, it was impossible for her to feel reassured while knowing that Luke is in a duel, by the way, already starting at a disadvantage.

It was hard for Megan to suggest this proposal to both of them, it was a complicated situation in the end. Even though there was still some time until the start of the event, two weeks still seemed like too little time for Luke to have any chance against Willford.

As much as Megan recognized Luke's magical ability, observing him as an extremely capable person and a kind of future prodigy. The girl didn't know the half-wolf's strength, she didn't know that in an ordinary situation, Luke would be able to beat even more than 20 Max Willfords at the same time.

"All right, I will challenge this teacher to a duel. During that time, you two will check out the other locations" Luke continued.

"But from what Megan said, there are more than two locations to check at the same time." Answered Meredith.

"We can ask Adrian for help, plus we won't need to check Hoshigaki's lab at the same time. Then we would only need to check WIllford's personal lab, check this possible hidden room and his room in the teachers dorm" Megan concluded.

"Leave it to me to investigate Max's routine, I will follow him for a few days and check how he behaves. Megan, please focus on creating the artifact. If possible, let Meredith help you with that" Luke said.

The two girls nodded their agreement.

After that, a hush came over the room. Again it was possible to hear the night wind rattling the windows of the room. While to the more attentive ears of Luke and Meredith, a constant sound could be heard from the various magical artifacts that illuminated the room.

The sound resembled a sort of cicada, although it was low enough that an ordinary human could not hear it. It was not that much of a nuisance.

The three of them were now determined to get on with the investigation, in a funny way, they all stood around with their arms crossed, thinking. While Megan was trying to recall any memory regarding Max Willford. Meredith and Luke were trying not to remember what had occurred at the noble academy.

A certain feeling of guilt was weighing on Luke's chest, who promised himself that he would not leave Meredith in danger again, not this time. Now it would be necessary to imagine how he could win, or at least keep the duel going long enough for the plans to go smoothly.

Now there was a lot for Luke to sort out, he had barely arrived at the academy and now he was already close to leaving again. Which in a way was a kind of relief, since it would make him reunite with Ayumi and Alexis faster, however, it also meant that he needed to make the most of the remaining time at the academy, especially to become stronger.

Luke was thinking about requesting some magical artifacts, perhaps taking advantage of his proximity to Megan to get some magical weapons made by Alice. He still needed to talk to Orion, go to the forge at the academy, learn as many different magics as possible before he left. Check what the professor was doing and spy to find out if he was using a hidden lab.
