Chapter 51 - Unused Trump Cards!

Dong dong dong—!

Just as Luke lay on the hospital bed, lost in thought, the room's door was knocked.

"Please come in."

Interrupted in his thoughts, Luke wasn't angry; on the contrary, he was somewhat eager to know who the first visitor would be.

"Excuse me~"

The room's door opened, and a blonde girl walked in, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"As expected, it's you, Claudia."

Although Luke had already guessed in his heart, he still felt a bit emotional seeing Claudia as the first person to come for a visit.

"Oh? Luke, are you displeased that I'm the first one to visit?"

Looking at Luke's expression, Claudia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Even if you say that, I did come to see you. You're being quite impolite, you know."

Upon Claudia's words, Luke finally realized that his behavior had indeed been a bit inappropriate.

"Well, no, that's not what I meant. I was just expressing, 'As expected, it's you.'"

Afraid that the girl might misunderstand, Luke quickly explained.

Claudia, of course, understood that Luke was not unwelcoming. After placing the bouquet of flowers in the vase by the window, she smiled at Luke.

"Well, compared to the 'others,' I'm better informed, you know~"

"They probably need some time to find this hospital."

The affiliated hospitals for the Festa are generally not publicly disclosed, especially for champions like Luke.

The hospital where he is being treated during his injury requires strict confidentiality to prevent any harassment.

However, this level of confidentiality has limited effectiveness. It can only deter ordinary spectators, and with some detailed investigation, the location can still be found.

So, Claudia's words were not a problem, but Luke instinctively felt something was not right.

Fortunately, Claudia didn't seem intent on delving into the matter of the 'others.'

"I won't say much about the 'congratulations on winning the championship.' Regarding the wish afterward, are you sure you want to go through with it?"

Claudia sat down beside the hospital bed, shifting the focus of the conversation to this crucial point.

"Well, after releasing Todo Kirin's father, I'll leave the subsequent related issues for you to handle."

In response to Claudia's inquiry, Luke nodded.

Seeing Luke's acknowledgment, Claudia sighed and touched her forehead, pretending to be very troubled as she spoke to Luke.

"Hey, by doing this, aren't you fulfilling Todo Kirin's wish? What if she decide not to enroll in Seidoukan Academy anymore? Then, I'll have lost such an outstanding student because of you, right?"

"Don't lie. Don't think I don't know. You've already taken care of Todo Kirin's enrollment procedures in advance through your connections, haven't you?"

Luke shrugged, not believing at all in Claudia's feigned expression.

After all, Claudia was capable enough to forcibly take away a highly talented graduate from Rewolf Black Institute under 'King of Evil' to serve as an instructor at Seidoukan Academy.
