Arcana Mob

"This is my Arcane Card, Scarlet Archfiend. It should have been an Arcane Card with Rank (VIII) Potential. Yet… I was at the peak of Rank (VI), but I could feel there was a big wall holding me off from going forward."

Even though it was a bit shameful, Elizabeth decided to not hide anything from Cade.

After all, she still hoped that Cade might have a solution for her trouble, and for some reason, her hunch told her that Cade might really possess a solution.

That was also the reason why she decided to come here.

Among the best student in her class, the four name that got her attention the most was Cade, Aurum, Eva, and Luna.

Yet if in the original game, she had taken her interest in Aurum, this time, the existence of Cade had made her place more emphasis on Cade.

After hearing Elizabeth's words, Cade stayed silent for a while.

Indeed, like what Elizabeth thought, he did possess the solution.

But Elizabeth's problem was not in her or the breakthrough.

Rather, it was because her Arcane Card was unique.

In the original game, the protagonist would later solve this problem and ultimately make Elizabeth forever grateful for him. But at the same time, Cade was wondering. How should he tell Elizabeth that he knew the solution?

While Cade was busy pondering things inside, the time outside kept ticking. And Elizabeth, who saw Cade fall silent, could only sigh. She thought that, just like any other, Cade also didn't possess any answer to her problem.

So at this time, she was ready to leave. Yet then..

"I think I might have the solution… However, I need to prepare a bit as solving your matter is not an easy business."

Cade opened his mouth, which made Elizabeth's eyes widen in surprise.

. . . . . . . .

After Cade said those words, a week easily passed.

Counting this day, only seven days were left for the mid-semester exam, yet Cade today had a different agenda on his mind.

The activity of the Research group has been suspended for a bit after the incident and will only be continued after the Mid-term break.

However, when everybody was preparing their best for the Mid-term exam, Cade actually went to the Royal Capital.

"Brother, is it really okay for me to take your time like this?"

Next to Cade, the small and cute Elsa was looking at him with her pure big eyes, and to be honest, if there were sound effects, everyone here would easily hear the sound of "critical damage" sounding multiple times from Cade's side.

However, Cade was not the one that responded to Elsa's question.

"Hehehehe, your brother might not look like it, but he had made a plenty amount of money recently. Therefore, it is okay to enjoy yourself a bit."

From the side, Isabel jokingly said.

But Cade didn't really mind. Hearing Isabel's words, he even jokingly complied and said to Elsa that he would even buy her a castle if she wanted to today.

Today's agenda was nothing special. Cade and Elsa followed by Isabel, were just going to go to the Royal Capital to enjoy their day.

At first, it would only be Cade and Elsa, but when Isabel came and heard the plan, she had told her that she should join too, as she knew the Royal Capital a lot better than them.

"…Are you okay?"

Isabel looked pretty normal at first glance, but Cade still asked, and Isabel nodded silently.

Though she might look like this, Cade knew Isabel was a very busy person. Especially after the incident, and she had a lot of things to handle.

Heck, Cade also heard that sometimes Jalen came to interrogate her about some fact in the incidents, and even after all of that, she still would come here to accompany them.

This meant a lot to Cade, and it was a lie if he said he wasn't touched at all.

"Isabel.."

"Hmm?"

Isabel closed her mouth and stared at Cade for a while. Which Cade didn't avoid her eyes.

The two stayed like that for a while, before Cade finally opened his mouth jokingly.

"You know, if you are this kind to me, I might really be your fan."

"…?"

Isabel widened her eyes and tilted her head. She tried to digest what Cade was saying, but Cade's next words really made her widen her eyes.

"I'm a big fan, okay. I'm even a member of the angelic Isabel fan ca-"

"Aahhhh!!! Cade, shut your mouth!!!"

Isabel's blushing face was cute, and it was undeniable.

Angelic Isabel fan café did exist. It was a fan cafe exclusive to Orion University with more than 1000 regulars from both alumni and current students. And even though Isabel had warned them several times the existence of the fan cafe was still there that, Isabel eventually grew tired of reminding them and just let them be, pretending that she didn't know they existed.

The fun atmosphere lasted for almost five minutes as Elsa was also dragged by Cade to tease the blushing Isabel..

"Cade, I hate you.."

Isabel pouted, and Cade could only pretend to make a sorry face.

But then…

Isabel asked with a quivering voice.

"Does that mean… you like me?"

"…Yes?"

. . . . . . . . .

On another side of Orion University, at the library, Aurum, Luna, and Eva were currently studying for the Mid-term test.

All of them were studying hard this time, especially Luna as she still remembered how Cade was able to beat her in the university entrance test.

Eva was lying on the library seat, staring at her two friends studying hard.

She sighed. These two are really hard workers, and she really couldn't be compared with them in these parts, especially in the theoretical study.

But it couldn't be helped. The two were going for the number one in the theoretical study, while for her, in the top ten was already plenty.

She decided to play with her phone a bit, but as she played with her phone, she found a piece of interesting news which she decided to immediately pass it to Luna with a face full of smirks.

"Hey, Luna. Do you know that while you are studying hard like this, your prince is currently on a date with another girl and her child?"

"….?"
