The Author's POV

Chapter 325

Standing up, I looked at my arms.

Compared to before, they were a little bit thicker. Clenching them into fists, I could see the veins on my arm pop out slightly.

Lifting my shirt up, I could also see that my abs were a lot firmer than before. If I compared my current body to the body I used to have when I just arrived in this world, the difference was huge.

My hard work paid off.

Tying my hair with a black hairband, I calmly walked towards the door of the room.

Placing my hand on the knob, I opened the door and stepped out.

Click! Clank—!

"How was it?"

Greeting me at the entrance of the room was Waylan.

Scanning my body from top to bottom, a pleased look appeared on his face.

"Not bad, not bad, congrats on reaching "

"Thank you."

Lowering my head slightly, I thanked Waylan. Without him, I would've never been able to break through to rank.

Placing his hand on his chin, he muttered.

"I have to say, your talent is as good as my daughter's."

"Emma?"

"Yeah."

"I see…"

I replied whilst trying to keep my face straight.

As expected of a doting father.

Best for me to just agree to whatever he was saying.

"Say, what do you think about joining the Union once the war ends?"

But his next words caused my body to freeze for a split second.

It was only for a short period of time, as I quickly regained my composure. Lifting my head up, I shook my head and apologized.

"Sorry, I might have to refuse the offer for now. I'm planning to join the Lock as a professor."

That was a lie.

Although I was indeed interested in joining the Lock as a professor, it wasn't feasible right now.

Well, a few of the people that I wanted to recruit for my group would indeed come from the Lock, so it wouldn't be a terrible idea.

But as I've said, that was well into the future.

For now, I had to focus on something else.

Like the current protection mission.

"That's a pity."

Fortunately, Waylan did not insist and proceeded to sit back down.

Interlocking his hands together, Waylan's face suddenly turned serious.

"About the plan that we agreed on with Douglas, I'm still a bit worried."

"Really?"

My brows slightly knit in surprise.

I sort of expected this.

Ever since I told him and Douglas about my plan regarding the protection mission, I had a feeling that they were still worried about something going wrong.

It was understandable though. After all, it was quite a risky one.

In order to increase the chances of this plan working, the three of us agreed to tell the least amount of people possible.

Though the chances were small, there was the possibility of a spy being here, and because the details of the plan couldn't be leaked lest it backfires, I opted to tell Waylan whom I trusted and believed could give me input on the idea.

After all, I was not perfect.

There could be holes in my plan.

Plus, just because the chip in my head was helping me didn't mean that I was now a genius. I could only think faster, not think better.
