Chapter 8 08. Leaving
Aside from shutting down his arrogant dreams, Albert kept nagging him about many other things. And then if Albert wasn\'t nagging he would soon start panicking asking if I was going to be safe or even asking if I wanted to scrap the idea of infiltrating Sanctuary altogether
With the way things were going, Albert was looking less and less like a helpful uncle and more and more like a nagging mother!
But it really couldn\'t be helped, with the way things were, Albert really did care about Lucius like he was his own child.
He had been by his side ever since he was a boy and was even his personal trainer in martial arts. With all things considered it would be harder for him not to feel any affection for Lucius.
Lucius could only acquiesce to Albert\'s nagging and promise him that he would look after himself.
"Young Leader, even though I believe your judgement, you really need to be careful. No matter how passionate you are about the revolution, never risk your life!
Although we won\'t be able to contact you first, after I\'m done cleaning up the headquarters I will personally head over to the capital to ensure things. If something goes wrong I won\'t hesitate to lead the army to storm the gates of Sanctuary!"
Listening to Albert, Lucius could only sigh as he shook his head.
"Albert there\'s no need to take things so far, I\'ll be careful not to make such mistakes so don\'t worry."
Walking out of the manor, Lucius brought up his system panel to have a look
Name: Lucius Vexx
Age: 18
Race: Human

Strength: 7
Agility: 6

Mana: 0
Will: 5
Talents & Traits: none
Seeing his greatly increased stats Lucius nodded in satisfaction, he had not been idle this whole time and worked himself to the bone.
The average for physical stats in this world was only around 5 so Lucicus could definitely be regarded as a neighbourhood strong man, but placed in a place like Sanctuary where talented monsters walked around freely, those stats were a disgrace.
Sighing Lucius turned his head to look at one of such monsters

Favourability: 35 (Like)
Looking at Camilla\'s status screen it was clear to see another place where Lucius had not been idle.
Her Favorability had jumped up from 21 to 35.
To be honest it wasn\'t easy to increase the favorability by this much.
Between his time spent in desperate training and planning his next move, it was hard to find time to interact with Camilla in a way that could brush up his favorability but he had somehow managed to do it.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that the previous Lucius had been so cold to her that even some simple kind words and actions could brush up his favorability
In fact, looking at things it was actually shocking that Camilla\'s favorability for Lucius was so low.
From reading the book, Lucius already knew Camilla\'s type and the original Lucius ticked all the boxes.
Extremely talented, a leader, Extremely handsome, hell! they had even known each other since childhood yet even with all that Camilla\'s favorability never went past 20.
It could be seen that the original Lucius must have worked extremely hard in keeping his favorability as low as possible!
But increasing favorability wasn\'t Lucius\'s only gain. Lucius had actually managed to gain 300 Love points.
This was the reward of all his hard work, the fruits of his labour.
300 LP was nowhere near the amount needed to buy Powerful items or the mouthwatering talents but it was still enough to let Lucius experiment with the cheaper shop items leaving him rather satisfied.
Lucius was so occupied with the status panel and item shop that when he looked up to get a proper look at Camilla, he was shocked by what he saw.
"This... Camilla, what are you wearing?"
As Lucius looked up he could see Camila dressed in a familiar white academy uniform.
Sadly, the uniform wasn\'t as tight fitting as her original 2 piece suit but it still couldn\'t hide her hot figure.
He had to admit, after seeing Camila in a suit for so long, that seeing her wearing the uniform definitely had its own unique charm.
Sensing that he was once again being distracted by Camila\'s deadly body, Lucius shook the impure thoughts out of his head.
Right now he was confronted with a major problem.
In the original novel, Camila never came to the academy. For the first half of the novel, she would barely even be introduced and would instead be in the Revolutionary Army running around and performing secret missions. It was only when she interacted with the MC in the latter half that her character was really explored.
But now that Camilla was going to the academy with him, all those major plot points would be thrown out the window!
"Camilla, what are you doing? When did you decide to come to Sanctuary?"
"Young Leader, you might not have known but my decision to enter Sanctuary with you was decided a while back," responded Camilla
This time it was Lucius turned to be shocked
"Eh? How come I\'m just hearing about this now?"
"Young Leader, you have lost your powers and are still in the process of recovering them. Albert was the one who ensured I entered the academy to protect you in case anything goes wrong."
