The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 143

Chapter 143: Guides

Xavier was catatonic.

None of it was easy to digest and sounded like a bunch of conspiracy theories thrown together.

But he was sitting inside Luca’s space and experiencing said conspiracy.

His brain felt frozen as he listened to Luca’s explanation.

He was really trying his best to listen, ignoring his conscience, which kept screaming, ’Criminal!’ at him.

When Luca started by prefacing his story with how he really was "Luca Soren Kyros," Xavier already figured that this was going to turn into something bigger.

But then he mentioned how he didn’t think so when he initially got here.

"I’ve been here for over a month and a half."

"Here? You mean at school?" Xavier asked.

"That too, but here as in, in this body." Luca pointed to himself as if that was a given fact.

Oh.

Not the place or planet, but an actual body!

Obviously, Xavier, a normal human being, was having difficulty understanding how a person could be in his body for just a month and a half.

"I don’t understand it either, and my parents are still in the process of figuring it out. But after dying back there, I just suddenly woke up inside the medical pod back in the assessment room."

"!"

"Did you just say, ’dying’?" Xavier caught on, although Luca tried brushing through it.

And the little chipmunk just nodded, clearly uncomfortable with the question.

But who would be comfortable talking about how they died?

"It wasn’t really a long story. I didn’t get to do many things back then since I was too different to be allowed amongst the people."

"Too different?"

Luca wasn’t exactly sure how he would explain being a defective Guide, but he figured he’d try. It wasn’t like he could give that much information when he himself had limited knowledge.

"The people of Tesseris were divided into the non-awakened and the awakened. And in that category were what we called Esper and Guides."

"Apparently, that wasn’t the original case, but when Dungeon Gates suddenly started appearing, some people evolved into entities that could fight in those Dungeons."

Then, the chipmunk tried explaining the existence of the awakened and his rather unique ’issue.’

"Back then, I was told I was an awakened Guide, but personally, I hadn’t guided anyone until I got here. All I really knew was how to make the Pills."

"I can’t really say much about Guiding because I didn’t get to learn much as someone who was locked up. But I figured you should know about it because that’s how I dealt with the corruption."

Locked up. _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}

The little chipmunk was locked up. That’s why he was always so concerned about being incarcerated.

Xavier felt like he was going to be sick from what he was hearing.

"Luca, how long... How long were you locked up?"

The little money grubber fiddled with his fingers before chuckling awkwardly.

"Uhm, not so sure since they don’t really tell us the date, and I was just in an induced coma back in the medical tank, but it was after my stint at the Guiding Center..."

"I’d say, a few years, maybe?" Luca scratched his neck as his eyes darted everywhere but Xavier’s face.

He was made into a lab rat and practically died one.

"But I guess it was safer in the tank, somehow. Outside of the lab was a little...yeah." He tried thinking of words to describe his short stint in ’society’ but realized that maybe it’d be better not to mention everything.

So, the little chipmunk just thought he’d say a few things about the outside, the usual dangers he faced as a defective Guide, while leaving out the more brutal ones that had him hiding in his space for days on end.

Luca was actually nervous and concerned about this. While his father mentioned that his defect may likely be the cause of being in the wrong body, that was merely just a hypothesis.

What if it just took longer for him to drive people crazy?

Next time, he’ll touch on it.

Next time.

It’s fine.
