Nico turned to the door to see who would enter it. About five seconds later, a girl dressed in black suit walked in holding a katana in hand. Since coming to this world, this is the first time he has seen a katana and wondered if she came from his world. She approached him and whispered into his ears
"Words from Andrew Diaz; avoid lily with your life, if you like it that is …"
"…"
Nico remained silent for a while as the girl turned to go
"miss, I need you to pass a message to him; I won't… especially not now"
After hearing his replies, the girl turned and exited the room. Leaving his friends confused about what they talked about. Late in the evening when everyone had gone back to the dorms, a system notification popped up

He relaxed on the bed when a third screen popped up
On the day of the second test, destroy the base of the assassins

"What… there were assassins in the school"
Nico sat up and reasoned for a while, wondering where he would find the base of the assassins would be and why he has to go solo on a dangerous mission. one thing that he avoided at all cost were assassins maybe due to his past life's experience, but he wasn't on best terms with them
"hey system, is there a way to gain exp faster and level up apart from the shop?"
"whoa.. dungeons"
nico was familiar with dungeons, since they had them in his old life
"where can i find dungeons"
hmm... i wonder the rewards for clearing a dungeon
night came and nico retired to his bed for the night. Waking up after what had seemed like a minutes sleep, he turns and check the time through the digital wall clock in his room. the time read 3 am in the morning which was quite early considering that there was no school for the day
"why can't i sleep?"
while nico sat on his bed, he remembered something
"system, you said anything can be bought from the shop yes?..."
"including skills?"
"when would the shop be opened"
nico stood up from his bed and strolled outside along the walls of the dorm where people don't usually pass. as he strolled, a system screen popped up

"system, what is the transmigrator's book?"
the security guards began their curfew check and nico rushed back to his room to avoid getting seen
"oh i can do that...yes please"

the next day, davi and lily waited at the train station for a while before nico came by. nico had slept in forgetting their schedule for the day
"casually late i see..."
"sorry, i slept in..."
he turned to lily who was staring at him in silence. when she noticed his gaze, she turned immediately but he simply bowed and walked into the train to wait for them to join him
i cant seem to understand her but...
davi soon followed after leaving lily behind
"is there... never mind"
davi convinced lily to come inside while nico waited for them. when she got in, davi tried to make her sit beside nico but she felt uncomfortable with his request and preferred to stand but suddenly, she sat down next to nico and held his hand just as the train started moving.
"what..."
just then, nico felt an eerie feeling behind him but couldn't turn back. davi who sensed it turned and frowned
"andrew diaz..."
he walked to an angle where he could see nico's face and pointed.
"you must be...nicodemus... you're the one that defeated my brother."
like he didn't see lily he turned back to davi and spoke
"davi..."
"yeah?..."
"secure the passengers and bring them to the this car... there are assassins on this train"
