[Leviathan building, Lock]
"You feeling better?"
With his legs crossed, Kevin sat on sat next to me as he scrolled through his tablet.
Displayed on it were the highlights of the different games of the tournament.
"...I feel like crap."
A light groan escaped from my lips.
My body was still extremely battered from yesterday's incident, and even though the medical facility was very advanced, it would still take a while for me to completely heal up.
"You'll be fine soon. That aside, I was honestly quite shocked by your performance. Didn't think you would go all out like that."
"Haha, me too..."
At Kevin's statement, a fake laugh escaped from my lips.
Had it not been for Monarch's indifference, I would've never done something like that.
"Fortunately, your injuries aren't too bad. Within a week you should be all healed up."
"Yup, so you really don't need to worry too much"
Kevin suddenly laughed out loud.
"Hear this, watching your performance, Emma was so shocked that she didn't speak for a whole ten minutes. Do you understand how much of an accomplishment this is?"
"Mhm, that does indeed sound really impressive."
Listening to Kevin, a small chuckle escaped from my lips.
Emma talked all of the time.
For her to not have been talking for ten minutes straight was an accomplishment in itself.
"Right?" Kevin chuckled alongside me. "I was just as surprised as you."
"It is what it is...by the way, when's the battle royale?"
Recalling something, I switched the topic.
"In about a week's time. So you should be able to recover by then. You could've recovered faster if you just took a potion..."
Kevin pointed out as his eyes glossed over the bandages covering my body.
"The doctor said that it's better if I don't consume too many potions, and recover naturally."
To Kevin's suggestion, I merely shrugged my shoulders.
If too many potions were consumed, the body would start to become accustomed to them and their effects would dilute over time.
As such, it was just better to recuperate naturally.
"...Oh right, um, so you found anything else about the Monolith's plan?"
I suddenly asked.
This was the main reason I had asked Kevin to come to my room. To talk about this topic, as it was extremely important.
Turning his head left and right to make sure that no one was present, Kevin lowered his voice and responded.
"Mhm. I've found out a couple of things."
"Spill it."
"Here?"
"It's fine, this place is pretty secure"
We were currently in my dorm, so no one else could overhear our conversation.
Kevin turning his head left and right to check if anyone was present looked pretty stupid from my position.
Although the Lock wouldn't go as far as spying on the conversation of their students, on the first day I moved here I checked to see if there were any listening devices installed in the room.
There weren't, so it was pretty safe.
"Alright...they are planning on attacking whilst the game is happening."
"I've figured that much. Anything else?"
"Mhm," Kevin nodded his head as he elaborated, "There apparently are a couple of ranked villains amongst the people they are sending. Their goal is to kill as many first years as possible on national television to ruin the Lock's reputation as much as possible..."
"...to go that far."
My brows furrowed tightly.
If the Monolith went as far as to employ multiple ranked individuals to make this work, it just went to show how much importance they put on this matter.
Basking underneath the moonlight, the figure slowly closed his eyes.
Silence once again descended in the room as only the sound of the figure's breathing resounded across the room.
