The Author's POV

-Ziiiiiiiip!

"Haaa..."

Exhaling, I put my arms on my waist and nodded my head in satisfaction.

After returning from my little trip to the headquarters of my mercenary group, I quickly returned to the Lock.

There was a particular reason for that...and that was that today I was finally moving out of my dorm and finally moving to a better one.

The Manticore building

...a considerable upgrade compared to the horned sheep building which I was currently staying in. It didn't need to be pointed out as to why the Manticore building was better as after all, I was going to get my own training room as well as a personal butler. Just those two things alone showed just how much better the place was.

If I did have a complaint though, it would be about the price. Believe it or not, I was roughly paying 100,000 U in monthly rent...yeah.

Very pricy as that would mean that I was basically paying 1,200,000 million U in yearly rent.

Expensive...but worth it.

With me having my own private training room, I no longer had to hold back when training. I could finally go all out and train without needing to worry about others discovering any of my secrets.

...and yes, although I could've gone to the Hydra building, the one that was even better than the Manticore building, I firmly was against the idea.

Too expensive and was filled with annoying young masters. To hell with that.

Aside from that, the main reason as to why I moved towards the Manticore building rather than the Hydra building was because Ava was here.

With her being in the same building as me, there was more room for me to interact with her.

At the very least I wanted to interact with her in a more organic way rather than me creepily approaching her in class. It just would look very suspicious in my opinion.

...either way, this move wasn't solely for me as it was also going to be a big help for me in increasing the chances of recruiting Ava to my group.

All in all, today was going to be a good day.

"Alright"

-Vuuuam!

Tapping my bracelet once, all of the packages before me disappeared.

"Let's see, is there anything else I am missing?"

After making sure I took every package in front of me, stepping outside my dorm, I took one last glimpse at the insides of my room and checked to see if there was anything I was missing.

making sure that nothing was missing, I couldn't help but look back at the time
