33 What Happened After We Left?

As the three friends were reflecting on their journey and the impact of their actions, a concerned butler hurried into the scene, looking for Georyy.

"Master Georyy, there you are!"

The butler exclaimed with relief.

"There have been so many commotions, and the academy staff has been searching for you."

"Your parents were worried sick!"

Georyy looked surprised to see the butler, realizing that he had been preoccupied with his adventure and hadn't considered the consequences of his disappearance.

"I... I didn't mean to cause so much trouble,"

Georyy said, feeling a twinge of guilt.

The butler smiled gently and patted Georyy's shoulder.

"It's good to see you're safe, Master Georyy."

"But next time, please inform someone before you go on your excursions."

"Your parents and the staff were extremely worried about you."

Georyy nodded, understanding the importance of communication and responsibility.

"I'll make sure to do that in the future,"

He promised.

Just then, Sylphia's parents arrived, concern etched on their faces.

"Sylphia, there you are!"

Her mother said, rushing forward to embrace her daughter.

"We heard about the chaos at the academy."

"Are you alright?"

Sylphia smiled and hugged her mother back.

"Yes, Mom, I'm fine."

She reassured.

"We got caught up in something unexpected, but we're safe now."

Her father, standing nearby, added,

"We were so worried when we heard about students going missing."

"Please, next time, make sure to let us know where you're going."

"I will, Dad,"

Sylphia replied, feeling grateful for her parents' concern.

...

The following day at the academy, the lingering absence of 20 students remains a troubling mystery, casting a shadow over the campus.

Amid hushed whispers and concerned conversations, a morning assembly is convened to address the situation. Students gather, exchanging worried glances and speculating about the missing classmates.

...

Weeks pass by, a month even, and still, the whereabouts of the vanished students remain unknown, their disappearance fading from daily discussions.

As months stretch on, Fixia's relentless pursuit of strength propels her to the coveted level 100. Seeking the wisdom of the Void Dragon once more, she recounts her journey, the challenges, and the milestone achieved.

In the dialogue with the dragon, Fixia questions the next steps in her journey...

"I have reached level 100, but now what should I do...?"

"Should I continue leveling up still, or can I slow down..."

"And... well, do I Berserker Skill will activate now that I've reached level 100 or it won't work now."

Fixia asked the Void Dragon...

"Perhaps, now slowing down your leveling pace should be enough..."

"If you're already level 100 that's quite strong..."

"I don't know if your Berserker Skill will work now or not, but if it did it will be overpowering."

With the dragon assuring her that she can now slow her leveling pace. However, Fixia's unique Berserker Skill, about that it doesn't know.

"But I have to say you have exceeded my expectations..."

The Dragon said...

"Huh.. what you mean by that..."

Fixia questioned.

"I have shared my leveling method with many but none survived as you did..."

"You are the first one to survive, and even reach level 100..."

"Everyone else I have shared with died before even reaching 50..."

The dragon explained.

"You should be proud of yourself in reaching this milestone..."

Fixia uncertain about it, says...

"Umm... I don't know about that..."

...

Fixia then divulges the tale of their unprecedented expedition to the bottom of the platform and the phenomenon of the Quirat Move.

"Quirat Move you say."

"A phenomenon where one floating platform aligns with another..."

"That's something I've never heard before."

"Go on... tell me more."

The dragon's interest is piqued by the revelation, sparking a curiosity that had remained dormant.

"I and some my friends, tried to see what was below the platform when Quirat Move occured."

"We even managed to reach the bottom..."

"There Gravity was somewhat acting weird, like it was switching."

"But we weren't there for too long, as the platform started moving again and we fell back on ground."

"But this was a attempt that went well..."

"The only downside is that we don't know if this will happen in our lifetime again or not."

But Fixia's honesty doesn't stop there. She reveals that despite their achievements, there is still so much they don't know about their world. The uncertainty of another Quirat Move in their lifetimes and the desire to uncover the secrets below the platform drive them forward.

"You have my interest, maybe I will join you in your adventures."

The Dragon exclaimed...

"Huh...!"

"Did I hear that right..."

"You want to join us...?"

"But how..."

Fixia said, sounding shocked and confused.

"Yes! you heard me right, I would like to join you guys..."

The Dragon said it again, repeating it...
