Blue got to the main part of the reason he called her so eagerly,
"I don't have any question but now that the students are given three days to adjust to the academy I hope to keep receiving your guidance even during this time."
Nicole's somewhat surprised voice came,
"Hoh, aren't you diligent? Now that I think about it, all Paladins seem to have this personality."
"Not necessarily, as your slip caused the teachers to storm off from the training grounds without even explaining about the contract parchment."
"Hahaha, so that actually happened? Well, there are times like that for even the toughest of Paladins. Regardless, diligence is very good though. As you need such diligence to progress further in the academy. Of course I will be happy to provide any guidance. As long as it doesn't overlap with my schedule it is fine."
"Ah! I still don't know your schedules yet."
"That escaped my mind, sorry about that. All the lessons on training grounds of any class starts at nine in the morning sharp and continues for two hours straight. After that the compulsory subjects of official language, general knowledge and history will take up one hour each."
"If someone wants to further improve themselves then subjects of aura attribute theory, private party practice, joint party cooperation drills are voluntary subjects as any of it could be chosen to be either taken for half a year, where you would have to treat it as compulsory thus your points will be deducted for missing any lessons, or not choosing it at all. Regardless, all of it is also an hour-long lesson per day."
"There's also matters of recreational clubs who start their activity after the compulsory subjects end at two pm. They would usually stay active from two pm to six in the evening. I would recommend you to join one if you don't intend to take the voluntary subjects. Trust me, you don't want to miss out on the two festivals where these clubs play the main role."
"Still haven't visited the recreational club's premises yet but I will definitely consider joining a suitable one."
"Oh, good! Actually I am the club advisor of Beast Racing club. Why don't I take you to visit our clubhouse tomorrow?"
"I will look forward to it but teacher you still haven't told me your schedule…"
"Oops! I spammed you there, didn't I? Well, since from nine am to two pm everyone is busy, my schedule is free during the club hours. Though I am an advisor it is more like just checking in on them from time to time. I am also free after eight till around eleven at night."
"I will be bothering you during those times then."
"What bothering? Feel free to ask of anything. If you don't understand any lessons from the compulsory subjects or need guidance for understanding the space element then just call me up. We should also have face to face study sessions at least twice a week. Ah! But I might not be as helpful regarding the Paladin class. I am of a different class, after all."
"Even if that is the case, teacher Nicole's goodwill towards me won't make me regret my decision."
"... Well, I am happy you think like that."
There was a bit of pause before her reply. It seemed the "trust" of him towards her touched her a bit. He would naturally butter her up to further his goals whenever he got the chance.
"What class did the teacher get? I am guessing a mid-long or a long range combat class."
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"You're very observant. My class is Gunslinger, a very rare grade class specializing in mid-long range combat. Now let's hear the reason why you guessed it right."
"Those who got close range or close-mid range combat class had more muscles and were a bit bulky but teacher Nicole didn't have such features so I took that guess."
"That's a very good reason. I should also give you a tip. When someone reaches a certain height in strength even if they don't appear muscular they could still be a close range combat class player as at that time one's body shape could be optimized to bring out the most of their class skills."
"There's such a thing… Thank you for your guidance."
"That's my job now."
He talked with her some more and got some more understanding about the academy while pretending to be a newbie at everything related to a player. He also made sure to subtly flirt with her in the guise of being curious about a teacher's life.
The call dragged on for over an hour before she finally had to go as her work was piled up after the entrance test. Throughout the voice call except for the first few conversations about academy and player related matters the rest were spent on casual talks while joking around.
Nicole seemed to have opened up quite a bit as her previous tone of being in "work" changed to "casual" at the end of the hour. Before she ended the call they set the time to 2:30 pm to meet at the recreational clubs premises tomorrow, the meeting location being under a famous millennia old tree which the drones flying around could guide him to if he asked.
Now that Nicole was dealt with it was time for him to unload.
He sent a message to Clara notifying her of his number and then when she replied he asked if she knew Karla's location as he had promised her to find her later. She replied that she just finished a video call with her and then messaged him Karla's address. She then asked his student ranking to which he replied ninth thus earning a bout of surprise and congratulatory messages.
He also got Clara's address and learned that Karla had made a plan to meet her an hour later. He readjusted the schedule to eight in the night as he told her that Karla was needed for some "private discussion" and that both of them were preparing a surprise gift for her so she should look forward to it.
She happily agreed as she replied that she was looking forward to it. She also asked about her mom and how come she didn't answer her calls today. He replied that Laura was busy back in Carnova over the renovation on the mansion so she was out of reach. Karla also apparently said the same things to her so she wanted to ask more details from him but he just told her not to worry about Laura and to expect a big surprise.
With that the messaging ended.
Clara had been kept in the dark about him unloading, ahem, being in a relationship with Karla thanks to her insistence as she wanted to reveal it in a direct conversation with Clara. Matters regarding Laura being out of reach had already been discussed earlier with Karla before they arrived here.
When he set off from Carnova with Laura in the [Clan Manor] menu he had been extremely cautious about players' means when she had her daily calls with Clara. Naturally Laura didn't mention anything about going to the academy lest the calls were being tracked.
As a matter of fact not just the calls but any interaction through this smartphone was being tracked and stored in an information hub where certain keywords spoken, written or used would trigger an alert and a personal investigation from the academy.
They let them contact their family in the Outer Area because they want to keep track of events that transpired there which would decide whether they cut off the communication channel from a world suspected to have an abomination or the effects on it. There were also cases of sudden dead planets because of disasters rampant in the Outer Area which also had to be abandoned from then on.
After learning her address he moved instantly. He got to her apartment room and rang the intercom by revealing his id through the usage of Status Window skill as a projection landed on the scanner from his glabella.
Hurried footsteps came from inside before the door was quickly opened. Karla jumped into his arms and inhaled his scent as she nuzzled. She then took him inside his room while ignoring the bewildered stares from new neighbors she hadn't even greeted at. Surprisingly she didn't ever have to as he told her to put her stuff back in the inventory since she will be staying at his place from now on.
She was extremely happy but she also considered maybe it would inconvenience him as she subconsciously thought that his place was similar to her apartment room, perfect for a single person. Two individuals in the room would feel a bit crammed.
He noticed her hesitant face and understood her worries instantly thanks to his experiences so he smiled a little as he squeezed her cheeks while revealing his student ranking and the cloud house he got all for himself to stay in.
Blue thus returned with a feast to eat.
