Elicia Holzberg…

To anyone else, this name might only be the name of the next heir of the Holzberg superfamily in the Ultima federation and one to be respected.

But for Cade, this name carried a deeper meaning.

This Elicia Holzberg woule be one of the major antahonist in the game.

Facing the unwanted engagement arranged by his father and the temptation of running away, it was apparent which one Elicia would choose.

Later, the Patriarch, Elicia's Father, sent a lot of people to try and find Elicia, and the protagonists' group was one of them.

The Protagonist Group found Elicia and brought him to his father, even with Elicia's resistance. They, at the beginning thought that it was because Elicia was in that rebel state, but later, they knew that they were fully wrong.

And to be honest, while playing the game, this was one of Cade's biggest regret. If there was an option to let Elicia go, he would rather face Elicia's father by himself.

After Elicia was found and brought back to the family, she was quickly married to the youngest son of the federation president.

But the son was never a good guy. Under his hand, Elicia suffered every day, and she was tortured as the son was dissatisfied with the fact that Elicia had tried to run away from him.

Things got to their peak when the son was drunk, and he decided to set Elicia on fire.

The house was also burnt, but afterward, Elicia was never seen any more, only later to be revealed that she had transformed into a monster and became one of the major antagonists.

The process of transformation into a monster was still unknown until now, yet it was not the time to think about that.

When Cade's eyes were looking at Elicia, the other party also noticed Cade's gaze.

But different from others' gazes, which had admiration or fear in their eyes, Cade's gaze somehow was full of pity, and it made Elicia frown.

She was the next heir of a super family, so why would someone look at her with a look full of pity? Yet it also made her have a slight interest in Cade.

She left her entourage and walked in Cade's direction.

" Do I know you?"

Elicia said as her distance from Cade was only a few meters away.

" ???? "

Obviously, Cade was taken by surprise.

He had never thought Elicia would come directly to himself. But before he could say anything, Elicia, who saw Cade didn't have any intention to talk, sighed.

" Sorry, it is my mistake."

And just like that, Elicia left Cade and went back to her entourage, followed by the dumbfounded look of everyone here.

. . . . . . . .

The University was on a floating island next to the royal capital.

It was able to reserve a large plot of land in a place with a large population density, making the school buildings large and the scale of the student dormitories vast as well.

Elsa had said her goodbye to Cade as she followed Isabel to the teacher's housing place, while Cade headed towards the dorm where he would be staying.

'…I'm feeling weird. That Elicia… just what the heck did she mean by that?'

Thinking back to the event in the registration today, Cade could only shake his head. The more he tried to make a plausible reason, the more he felt stupid.

' Unless.. Elicia was attracted by my charm?'

' Hahahahaha, if anyone would be attracted by your charm, they might as well marry a horse!"'

But as usual, Grigory's voice came out of nowhere, and he had come to tease Cade.

"....."

' Can you be a bit kinder to me?'

' Me? I'm so kind to you. I even let you use the guillotines. But as someone says, reality might be cruel.'

Cade rolled his eyes as he heard Grigory's response. He felt like the more he talked with Grigory, the more he felt stupid. Therefore, as always, he just pretended that Grigory didn't exist, and continued to observe his surrounding.

The student dorms were unthinkably extravagant. The entrance was pretty much like a hotel lobby.

There's even someone at a reception desk, and the people working here are pretty much like hotel employees. They wore uniforms, were thoroughly trained, and were operating briskly.

"It clearly is extravagant, worthy of being the dorm of the five great universities."

In the game, Cade had seen this dormitory multiple times, But seeing it with his own eyes clearly had a different impact.

It's a gorgeous student dormitory. That's the impression that came out of it. Even some four-star hotels in Cade's old world would be shy compared to this dormitory.

But as Cade was deep in his own thought, a staff member came at him while bringing an access card.

"Mr. North, sorry for making you wait. Your room will be over here."

The staff member handed a map of the dorms and an access card to Cade.

"Be sure to look over the rules inside of your dorm. Afterward, if you have any questions, then voice out to one of the people in charge."

Cade nodded, and after that, he headed towards the corridor of his dorm.

.

Without long, he arrived at the dorm he was going to use for the next four years.

It was a single room, but it was pretty wide.

The room had been cleaned, and his luggage had been sent and placed here already.

Cade opened the window and looked outside. There, he could see the scene of new students coming in while being helped by the staff.

But the thing that got his attention the most was the beautiful scenery that he could see from here. The University was built on a floating island, so it could be said that the scenery here was one of the best in the royal capital.

"So this is where I'm residing for the next four years…"
