All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins

Chapter 54 Interrogated In The Office

Damian thought he heard it wrong, "is she saying this to me? Right now?"

He dismissed it for the time being, using his free time to talk with his friends and share some things that happened to him.

Of course, Damian did not tell them everything, especially with Vanessa there, as she still needed to get his trust.

Aurora and Magnus were more concerned about all the classes Damian lost, "there will be a test next week, Damian. A written one!" Aurora said.

It amounted to around 30 minutes since he returned to Garmony, yet Damian was already packed with things to do, at least ten books to read in one week!

"I think this is everything," Aurora said, putting the books above the table beside Damian.

His luck was so great that the once-canceled classes had returned at full speed — they had already lost a good chunk of time with everything that happened, so the professors were sending homework after homework to make up for the lost time.

Damian wanted to scream in agony as he stared at ten thick books filled with things he had to study or else he would take a big F on the written test.

"Bro, Magnus, can you return these books to my dorm? Darius wants to talk with me now, and I can't show up with a tower of books," Damian said.

Magnus gave him a thumbs up, and then he showed his biceps as if saying, 'carrying this many books is no problem for me.'

It was good to have such a good friend. After their long conversation, Damian left the trio in the library and looked for Darius, the school's principal.

The students inside Garmony still could not let their gazes out of his direction, and before long, the entire school was gossiping about him, someone who had returned from the dead.

"Does his ability make him immortal? Or did he sell his soul?" one of the students said.

That and many other things came from the student's mouths, yet Damian ignored them.

"Where is him?"

Damian knew he was showing the school to both Serana and Hazel, and the last stop of their tour would be the girls' dorm, so he went there.

Darius was right there, in front of the building, giving them the keys and explaining how the classes worked.

"Damian! How was the reunion?" Darius asked as he saw Damian walking toward him.

With steady steps, Damian stopped before the tall man, "emotional. Did this two give you any problems?"

Serana rolled her eyes at that statement.

"Of course not. Come, Damian, I have to talk with you inside my room," Darius said.

Hazel and Serana would not have individual rooms but one for the two — the school had many students and not many rooms left.

Also, Hazel said she wanted to be with her, disliking the thought of being alone in an unknown place.

For some reason, Darius agreed to everything, accepting unknown students into the school.

"Maybe because some of the students died back when the Fingers attacked? Or could he have something else in mind?" Damian thought as the two left the girls' dorm, going toward the main building.

Darius' room was inside the same building where all the students had their classrooms, but it was on the last floor, and no one could get to that floor without authorization, not even the professors.

They took the elevator, reaching the last floor in no time, and when they got there, it was empty.

"Come, my room is right there," Darius said, leading the way.

Damian did not know the layout of that floor, so he only followed Darius, as he was the one who was at home. The two walked through a corridor with many windows — Darius loved to see nature around the school and spy if the students were lazy.

There were also some plants in pots, decorating the environment and giving it fresh air. That was all on the right side of the corridor. On the left side, there were no windows, only doors, and many paintings that exhaled richness's.

They came to a halt after reaching the end of the corridor, stopping before a double door. Darius pushed the door open, revealing what seemed to be an office with a desk, many papers, a chair, and a laptop.

"This is where I do the boring work of running a school. Truth be told, I just want to train and battle, but unfortunately, I have to do this," Darius said, complaining about the duties of someone with a high position like him.

Damian couldn't understand how that felt, but he soon would, "if I want to create a secret organization, then it may be even more work than running a school."

Darius sat on the other side of the desk, facing the door, and Damian sat on a chair in front of Darius.

"So, what do you want to talk with me about?" Damian said.

There was no denying that he was a little concerned, afraid Darius would ask too many questions about where he went. Still, despite that, Damian believed Darius would do him no harm.

"I heard rumors about you vanishing and maybe appearing somewhere else, like inside the dungeon. Is it true?" Darius asked.

The temperature of the room increased as Darius stared deep into Damian's eyes, like a predator stalking its prey.

Damian internally murmured, "rumors from my friends, I suppose."

"What did you say?"

"Ah, nothing, nothing."

With someone as powerful as Darius gazing at him, Damian did not see a reason to lie "there's no way he will believe in my lies, that is."

So, having accepted his fate, Damian opted for the best thing he could do: tell the truth or at least a part of it.

"Yes, I went to the third floor of the dungeon. How I ended up there? No idea. I just vanished when the Trickster was attacking me."

"The third floor? That's quite deep for someone like you. How did you escape with your life?"

Damian started his act, "it was all thanks to my ability! It allows me to fly. Many beasts tried to eat me alive, but I flew over them to safety!"

He spoke eloquently like someone who barely made it alive, yet even with the good acting, Darius did not buy it.

He could see that working, but the mystery about how Damian went there remained.

"Also, how did this kid find the way out? I should keep an eye to this kid."

"I see. Now about the other subject I have. Damian, how do you feel about an undercover mission?" Darius said.
