Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Lucius’ New Residence
Lucius and Magnus stood near the main plaza of Astra Academy. Magnus turned to Lucius and began to inform him.

“Lucius, we will split here. My major is in the Beast Tamer division, and yours is with the Evolists. But remember that this academy isn’t as peaceful as it seems. Watch your back.”

Lucius only smirked after hearing it. He was amused as he replied, “Don’t be worried. I have Liora and she is stronger than you think, so just relax.”

Magnus looked at Liora, the Lion Beastman who stood behind Lucius. Liora then crossed her arm and glared toward Magnus.

“Don’t worry, young master Magnus. I will protect my master with my life. No one here can harm him while I am here.”

Magnus hesitated but still he could only let him go. “Still, be careful. Strength alone isn’t always enough at Astra. The dangers here aren’t just physical.”

Magnus then took a step closer to Lucius and asked him, “Promise me that you’ll avoid unnecessary risks.”

Lucius only chuckled as he placed his hand on Magnus’s shoulder. “Magnus, your concern is not really necessary to me. Worry about yourself. You’ll need that energy to keep the Volcaria name strong in your own battles.”

Magnus could only clench his fist and sigh. He then bowed and said, “Very well, Lucius. Just… don’t get hurt.”

Lucius waved his hand and smiled. “Don’t waste time worrying about me. Go. You have your own path to tread.”

With that, Magnus turned around and went toward the Beast Tamer Division. He glanced back at Lucius once before disappearing.

Lucius soon went toward the administration hall with Liora and Luna. Lucius then approached the receptionist, who was a middle-aged woman.

She glanced up at Lucius, who was approaching him and stood up and bowed down. “Welcome to Astra Academy. How can I assist you?”

Lucius immediately took out his ID card and gave it to her while saying, “I’m a new student, so I need to know some rules and directions about this place.”

The receptionist picked up Lucius’ ID card and was surprised when she saw that Lucius was from the Volcaria family.

She then immediately became even more polite and respectful to him. “I see, so you are Lucius of the Volcaria family. Please wait a minute as I search for your student information.”

The receptionist then immediately used his ID card and put it toward something that looked like a card reader and soon a hologram appeared in front of the receptionist.

Lucius was a bit surprised that the academy was this advanced. It seems that he had really sealed in those three for a long, long time.

The receptionist then immediately informed Lucius about his student information. “Lucius, a new student of Evolist Division. Welcome to Astra. Your residence has been assigned to the Golden Complex, House Number One.”

Lucius, who heard it, smiled as he thought that his residence should be a high-end one. He then asked again, “I see, then may I ask where exactly is the Golden Complex? I am still new around here.”

The receptionist immediately took out the academy’s map and pointed toward one section in the map. “Follow this path past the central gardens. The Golden Complex is located at the second highest point of the campus.”

Lucius nodded and took back his ID card that was given back by the receptionist. “Thank you for your information, Miss.”

The receptionist nodded and soon sat back down. But suddenly she remembered something and was about to say something to Lucius but realized that Lucius was already gone.

She just realized that House Number One in Golden Complex was currently inhabited by a student but seeing that Lucius was from the Volcaria family, she doubted that there would be a problem, so she sat down again.

Lucius and his two maids soon went to the Golden Complex using the path that the receptionist had told them. After walking for a while, they immediately saw a complex with golden gates.

Lucius smirked upon seeing it and soon saw that there was a small monument beside the golden gate. He immediately thought of putting his ID card there and when he did that, the golden gate was opened.

He and his maids soon entered the Golden Complex and were surprised by how grand the Golden Complex was. The houses here were not tall but instead wide enough to have numerous equipments in them.

The trio soon went to House Number One, where Lucius was supposed to stay and when they found it, they were really surprised as it was grander than other houses.

Luna looked at the house and turned toward Lucius. “Master, this house is really extraordinary. It is like it is specially built for a noble like you.

Lucius only smirked hearing it as he enjoyed her reaction. “Good. That means it meets the bare minimum for my standards.”

They also noticed that there was another small monument near the door, identical to the one by the gate. Without hesitation, Lucius used his ID card again and soon the door was immediately unlocked.

The house was really more luxurious and completed than they thought. Whether it was training equipment for both tamers and beasts, beast habitats, or a private library, this house had it all.

But when they walked further inside, Lucius immediately noticed some unusual things. There were some messy clothes, scattered beast tools and also some beast feed put here and there.

Lucius frowned as he realized that the previous inhabitant was a dirty one. He then looked toward Lucy and Liora and said, “Gather all this trash and throw all of it outside.”

Luna immediately smiled and nodded after being ordered, “Yes, Master. I will make sure that this place is finally worthy of you.”

Liora also nodded as she immediately helped Luna in gathering the dirty clothes and also the scattered beast tools.

Lucius only watched them work while he walked further into the house. He was inspecting his new house to see what needed to be cleaned.
