The Newbie Is Too Strong's
144. The Mysterious Intent of Princess Silvia
That morning, Luca was about to leave for school as usual.
Luca has been around 1 month more living in the real world and has understood the ins and outs of the road so that to go to school, now he no longer needs to be escorted by Nina.
However, as soon as the innocent young man left for school alone on that sunny morning, right on a deserted road, a horde of thugs intercepted his steps.
“Whose are you?” Luca was immediately wary when the thugs showed a bad reaction by grinning while looking at Luca with a disrespectful look.
“Bos, right this kid right?”
“True. Finish him.”
It was Toriq, the thug boss who finally discovered the fact that the cause of his failure in the qualification exam of the e-sport club vrmmorpg at his school was all due to Luca's poor review of him.
Toriq became a grudge against Luca and was about to avenge his heartache.
“Heh.” With a sinister look, the thugs intimidate Luca.
Unfortunately, they did not know that the original body of the tiny young man before him was still even much stronger than the body of his avatar in the game. Luca had gotten used to fighting and absolute little thugs like them were nothing to him.
In an instant, Luca slaughtered the thugs on self-defense grounds.
Then Luca stepped forward Toriq as the boss of the thugs.
Toriq. But because of his trembling, his legs could no longer be moved to escape. Then in one raw bogeman, Toriq smelled the asphalt and lost consciousness instantly.
Casually, Luca left the scene after giving a proper lesson to the thugs.
Beyond a doubt, Luca's sharp assassin senses were completely unaware that there was someone who had recorded all traces of events in that place. Apparently the recorder is none other than Ellen the new cleric in her team.
But there was a strangeness behind the woman's expression. The woman who usually always looks scared does not look trembling at all when recording the violent incident.

Despite the thugs' distraction, Luca's school days of the day were still going as well as they always were.
Then come the break hours.
In accordance with the instructions on the previous notice board, Chika and Diana meet Luca.
“Oh, yes. Coach sir assigned me to be your mentor for a month. There are some things that need to be improved from your game, but potentially, you are not wrong anymore is a talented player.”
Luca looked mature and wise to protect his mentees. Moreover, the face of the young man is very pleasant to look at for every woman.
Instantly, Luca's sinister image is lost in Chika and Diana's eyes. They even unconsciously smile themselves when the handsome figure praises themselves as a talented player.
Luca continued his instructions.
“For Chika, the school will help finance you to provide basic ingredients, in addition I will also support you in the game to collect rare herbs.”
Hearing that, Chika's expression instantly changed. How very happy Chika was with the fresh wind that was suddenly thrown by the young man.
“Then for player Diana, before that, I want to hear your reason why you chose the mage class in the game.”
Diana answered,
“No special reason. I was just searching the internet where classes were popular among female players. I actually changed classes a few times. First, I played a cleric class, but that class didn't seem to suit me as it restricted movement and mostly just stayed behind as support.”
“Secondly, I also had time to choose tamer class. It's just that, it didn't suit me either because it felt complicated to coordinate movements with the pet that were hard to control, so I gave up immediately. Only this mage class as the third class I tried seems to be suitable for me.”
“If it... it doesn't seem too much problem because my level in the game is also not too high.”.
Luca was pleased with Diana's positive comments.
“But if I may know, what class is it?” Diana asked curiously.
“Scout.”
“Scout? The most unpopular class, even more unpopular than the class of assassins who dregs?”
“Hei, Diana!” Chika immediately resuscitated Diana from the error of her speech.
Only then did Diana remember that the figure sitting before them right now was none other than the assassin class she said was the dregs.
Diana immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately functioned his brain to find a way out of the problems made by his mouth that was always blunt.
But as soon as Diana looked at Luca's face, how relieved she was after realizing that the handsome young man before her showed absolutely no sign of offence at his rude remark.
“Both scout and assassin are said to be dregs by players about only a few players who fit both classes. But once played by a suitable player, whatever class it was would definitely look great. Haven't you guys seen my game as an assassin before?”
Chika and Diana simultaneously nodded silently in agreement in response to Luca's remark.
“So did you, Diana. You can be an amazing player with a scout class and I promise to lead you in the right direction as a mentor to it. Will you change your class and follow my lead?”
Apparently very contrary to the ridicule of the scout class she had just uttered, Diana quickly replied, saying,
“I want. I want to be a reliable player under your direction as a scout. Please directive, Coach.” Diana also said in full determination.
Once everything is determined, they also make friends with each other in the game through their smartphones connected to the game application.
“Then, I wait in the beginner village at 8 p.m., night ya.”
“Good, Coach.”
“Good, Coach.”
The two close friends also simultaneously answered Luca with a sweet smile accompanied by a burning determination in their hearts to begin the step to the path of success as a gamer.

After school, this should be Luca's training schedule in preparation for the high school e-sport competition which will be held about a month away. However, again Luca did not receive a single match practice request from players ranked lower. As a result, once again there was nothing he could do inside the club that day.
Luca again asked permission for the coach to go home quickly. Luca was granted permission. Then on that day, Luca finally returned to visit the residence of the Princess Silvia.
“In meditation, we are required to be sensitive to the surroundings. Feel the flow of mana around us. Make it fuse into our bloodstream instead of rejecting it.”
“Lantas Brother Silvia, what is the white light I witnessed around me when meditating which is called?”
“Excellent, Luca. In just two days time, you have already entered level 2. Thas right. That is what is called by which one can see when one has been at level 2 spiritual mastery.”
“So so. So this is true called mana.” Luca said in amazement as he continued his training by pulling everywhere from the outside to absorb into each of his veins.
“Oh yes, Luca. Have you visited the tomb of Sultan Lacoza in the game?” Princess Silvia suddenly asked Luca.
“It hasn't, Brother. I just haven't found the right party yet.”
“Lantas what if I join your party?” Princess Silvia said something unexpected.
