Reyker, who had brought contempt upon himself, walked towards the dormitory with Rosa.

“Thank you, Master. I don’t want to stay in that dark room anymore,” Rosa suddenly said.

“Being a Master is not only a right but also a responsibility. Since you called me Master, I naturally can’t abandon you.”

Hearing this, Rosa wanted to smile, but the metal pieces on her face were rigid.

The next morning, Reyker was awakened by the aroma of milk and oats.

He opened his eyes to be greeted by breakfast on the table that consisted of a cup of hot milk, a bowl of oats, and a plate with a croissant and a hard-boiled egg.

“You made all this?” Reyker asked.

“Yes, I wanted to do better, but the limitations of my body didn’t allow me to do so,” Rosa said.

“Don’t worry, you’ve done well enough,” Reyker comforted her.

Ever since he found out that the puppets had souls as he did, Reyker’s tone and attitude had changed.

However, when he thought that most of the people or puppets here were just NPCs, he felt that his change was quite amusing. After all, they were all fake.

Touch and taste were simulated perfectly by the system in “The One”, which made the game a super game that surpassed the concept of the multiverse.

Therefore, Reyker who could smell the fragrance could not help but want to try out the taste.

After finishing breakfast, he got up to go tell the professor that he wanted to sign up for the Light Magic College.

Just when the two left the room, Reyker suddenly received an emergency call.

One could set up call transfers in “The One”, which would transfer phone calls to the game cabin to prevent the player from missing some important calls.

The first sentence that came from the other end of the phone stunned Reyker, “Hello, Sir Reyker, I’m a police officer. Your sister was in a car accident just now. Can you come over now?”

After hearing this, Reyker did not know how he came to the scene of the car accident. He only felt himself to be in a daze when he saw the pool of blood on the ground.

It was hard for him to imagine that his sister’s petite body could bleed so much.

“Police! How is my sister?!” Reyker rushed to the traffic police who were maintaining traffic.

“You’re Sherry’s brother?”

“Yes, I’m Sherry’s brother,” Reyker said anxiously.

He looked at the white cloths on the stretchers around him and felt his legs go soft. He did not dare to walk to the front of these stretchers. He was even a little afraid of what the police would say next.

“Your sister was sent away by the ambulance, you’re late.”

Hearing this, Reyker let out a long sigh. At the same time, he consoled himself. As long as she was sent to the hospital, she should be fine. This proved that she was not in the worst-case scenario.

“She’s been sent to Glen Public Hospital. Go there and look for her yourself,” The police officer said.

With this, Reyker hurriedly called a taxi to the hospital, then only did he learn about the incident through the radio broadcast on the car.

It turned out that the bus his sister Sherry was on had an accident with a car that ran a red light at the intersection.

Although the bus had flipped over, the people inside were not seriously injured.

On the contrary, those in the car had died. The driver had died on the spot, while the passenger was sent to the hospital with serious injuries.

The blood on the ground was mainly from the two of them.

After arriving at the hospital, Reyker hurriedly went through the procedures and rushed to the ward on the third floor.

As soon as he entered the corridor, he heard his sister’s voice, “Brother, I’m here.”

Seeing Sherry sitting on the bench in the corridor, Reyker finally felt relieved.

He rushed to Sherry and hugged her tightly. “You scared me to death.”

“Brother, I’m so scared.”

“It’s okay, I’m here. You don’t have to be scared.”

Then, Reyker let go of his hand and looked Sherry up and down.

“Why are you sitting in the corridor? Where’s the doctor? Didn’t the doctor come to examine you?”

“The doctor has already examined me, but they said I was fine, so they asked me to wait for a while and let the seriously injured be examined first.”

Hearing this, Reyker smiled. “That’s good. It’s best if you’re fine.”

Although the doctors had said Sherry was fine, Reyker still arranged for her to be hospitalized.

Reyker stayed at the bedside and waited for Sherry to fall asleep before he got up and left.

When he got up, he noticed that Sherry had kicked the blanket away around her waist.

He went up and covered her with the blanket. At this moment, Reyker saw a wound on her abdomen. It seemed that Sherry didn’t tell him because she was afraid that he would worry.

However, Reyker somehow felt that he had seen this wound somewhere before, but he couldn’t figure out where it was. In the end, he had no choice but to give up on thinking about it.

It wasn’t until late at night that he remembered he had to go register for a college in the academy.

The minute he went online, Reyker found himself back in the dormitory.

“Why am I here?” Reyker asked curiously. In “The One”, other than some special circumstances, players should find themselves in the same place they went offline when they came online.

Then, Rosa’s voice rang in his ears, “Master, have you forgotten? We were going to Professor Cleveland’s to register for college, but you suddenly stopped moving on the way. I was worried that you would be in danger, so I brought you back to the dormitory.”

Hearing this, Reyker was stunned.

“You can still see me when I go offline?”

“What do you mean by going offline? I have been watching you.”

The doubt in Reyker’s mind grew. Hadn’t he gone offline? Was his physical body still around?

Thinking of this, he immediately jumped off the bed and ran toward the entrance of the Magic Academy.

On the way, he heard Elisa, who was flying in the sky on a broomstick, calling his name.

When he arrived at the gates of the Magic Academy, Reyker tried to push them open, but he found that the gates were not budging at all, and there were no specifications.

At this time, Elisa, who was riding on the broomstick, landed. “Yo, newbie, do you want to be as strong as me?”

“Can you open the gates?” Reyker asked.

“No. There are certain conditions to open the gates of the Magic Academy. What do you want to do?”

“Then why could Teacher Brian directly bring me in?”

“Because his job was to bring you in?”

“Then if I don’t open the gates, can you bring me out?”

“No. Although the Magic Academy is invincible, there are still many rats hiding in the shadows who are dissatisfied with us. You are not strong enough to go out.”

“What kind of strength do I need?”

Elisa tilted her head and thought for a while, “You have to at least be an intermediate mage.”

“I won’t be far from here. Just take me out of this castle and we can come back immediately, okay?” Reyker said.

“Fine, but you owe me one.”

“Okay, I owe you one.”

After Reyker said this, a purple magic light lit up. “The contract is established. Let’s be off.”

With this, Elisa pulled on Reyker and flew all the way to the top of the castle..
