Chapter 425
Chapter 425: Best time to be assassinated.
The 1st day of the competition was over and it was time for the students to be taken to their hotels. So they followed ash corp members to warp arrays which teleported them to the Golden seal hotel.
The Golden seal hotel was a 6-star hotel with a whopping 270 floors that could house more than 100k people at any given time thanks to dimension magic.
The skyscraper was owned by the royal family and would be the resting area for all of the students in the elite class for the entire time of the regional competition.
‘This is even better than the hotel of the adventurer association back in Calton city, and the best part is that I don’t have to pay a dime.’ Blake thought with a grin on his face as they walked out of the hotel’s warp array room.
Under the guidance of the ash corps leading the students from the east, they moved to the reception.
The massive reception was divided into 3 sections by thick white pillars with capitals (topmost part of the pillar) made of gold.
At the center of the reception was a straight part from the door to the large reception desk which was well lit by glamourous golden chandeliers that hung off the white ceiling.
.....
Separated by the white pillars was the waiting area which had a lot of white exotic sofas, tables, and expensive arts.
‘From what I am seeing, it is safe to say that I would go broke after spending a week here.’ Blake thought as he was captivated by the beauty of the reception.
“By binding with your keycards you would be able to gain access to different parts of the hotel using your biometrics and also your keycards.” One of the ash corps informed them as golden cards were being given to them.
The golden cards had their room number at the top, and at the center was a glowing ash circle that turned green after bounding with them.
With all of them being assigned a room, the ash corps took them on a little tour of important locations like the elevators and teleportation rooms.
The tour lasted for only 20 minutes after which they entered a teleportation room that took them to the 77th floor which was only reserved for all the students taking part in the regional competition.
After freshening up, it was time for what was meant to be dinner. Blake decided not to get served in his room instead, he joined his friends in the floor’s restaurant.
With their keycards, they didn’t have to pay for anything because it was being taken care of by the royal family.
Blake had bruschetta as appetizers, and cream of mushroom soup before moving on to the main course which was Spaghetti with ham, ceps, and black truffle.
‘How do people eat so little and still be able to sleep peacefully at night?’ Blake complained. He had no issues with the food because they were delicious, but the problem was the quantity.
[That is because in the Hero realm the body can go days without feeling hungry. So the problem is that you are a bottomless pit.] The system snorted.
‘Firstly, my body needs the nutrients to grow. Secondly, I am not a bottomless pit, I sadly have a limit.’ Blake said.
[Who doesn’t know that the further growth of your body will not be gotten from food, but instead from herbs and other magical resources.]
[Yes, I agree you have a limit, the entire kitchen!] The system screamed.
‘Although I don’t care about what the other students think. I can’t act like someone without manners, my reputation could be ruined.’ Blake thought to himself as he ignored the system.
He couldn’t order more because, unlike the magic school where their food was teleported directly to their table, these ones were brought by waiters. So it would raise a lot of questions if waiters continued coming to their table.
‘Let’s hope that dessert and cheese would be substantial.’ Blake thought with a tear in his eyes as he ordered a Blackout cake with a drizzle of chocolate and strawberries on the side.
All this while, Blake had been ignoring death glares from Lucas.
...
After ‘dinner’ Blake returned to his room and immediately went topless and began meditating, but that was when he heard a knock on his door.
‘Who the fuck would that be?’ Blake thought with a frown on his face, but that was when the door turn transparent showing him who was outside.
“Open.”
Blake gave the verbal command for the door to open as he saw it was Tessie, Castle, Brian, Damon, Camilla and Luciano.
“I hope I am safe?” Blake had no idea why almost everyone he knew decided to visit him.
“Are you guys okay?” Blake couldn’t help but ask Tessie and Camilla who were speechless and with beet red faces.
That was when he realized they were reacting that way because their eyes were glued to his ripped chests.
“Ahm!” Brian cleared his throat snapping the girls out of reverie.
“We were planning on touring some parts of the capital. So we wanted to know if you would like to join us?” Castiel asked.
“Isn’t it already too late? Also, isn’t the competition tomorrow morning?” Blake couldn’t help but ask.
“According to Luciano, the capital is very safe even at night. As for your 2nd question, our body doesn’t need much sleep to function, so a few hours would be more than enough.”
“So are you joining us?” Brian asked once again.
“Nah, this is a perfect time and setting for an assassination. So I will pass.” Blake said bringing everyone back to reality.
Blake was a commoner who was breaking records and dominating nobles. So this was the best time to take him out and get rid of the competition.
