"I am a Mercenary." Max spoke with a straight face.
"Huh... but hasn't the Academy banned such activity until the students reach their last year." Axle spoke with narrowed eyes
"No, it's fine." He replied without any hesitation.
"Why don't I know about it ?" Axle said with a frown.
"It's fine as long as you don't get caught." Max spoke while showing his sparkling teeths.
Cough
Cough
Max heard him choke on air as he coughed vigorously.
He suddenly looked towards him and spoke, "Are you messing with me?"
"No, I am not." Max replied.
"You could get expelled for this." He spoke with a concern in his eyes.
"Like you are the one to talk." Max replied in sarcasm.
Besides, he might have a bit of trouble if he got expelled from the Academy. But, if the system expelled him, it would be a whole different story.
"Anyways, a few days ago. I received a quest...". Max continued speaking.
After 20-25 minutes, He explained everything to him.
"You mean that b*tch Lisa is here and you are here to rescue her." He asked as his face contorted.
"I am here to rescue the little girl. She is my first priority. And I will try to save others while I am at it." Max spoke as he got up from his seat.
"I understand all that. But I still have a question." His expression turned serious.
"What?"
"You said your Mercenary name was Shura right." Axle spoke as an air of seriousness surrounded him.
"So what?" Max replied.
"Isn't that the name from the Anime 'Oh Lord Hit me '? I remember you saying that you didn't watch anime." Max was completely stunned and speechless.

How could that guy speak such things in that dire circumstances. Did he have a switch on him to change his modes?
"I have already left those things behind." Max replied feeling helpless.
He didn't know why, but he felt He shouldn't have said that to him.
"Ha..ha.. I have finally found a comrade. I will revive you." He speaks while waving his clenched fists.
"Do you have an internet connection in your laptop ?" Max asked Axle, ignoring his actions.
"No, I don't. They have set up a jamming formation. We need to break that up to connect to the outside world." Axle said.
"It's gonna be tough to break the formation with the three formation masters and who knows how many guards guarding it ".
"I can do it." Max heard Axle's voice as his gaze turned towards him.
"You just need to create a disturbance in the formation. I can easily bypass it." He spoke with confidence.
"Are you sure?" Max asked him because he didn't want to get him involved in that matter.
"Don't you dare to look down on me. I am at the top of my class." He spoke with a smug look on his face while getting up from the bed.
Max moved towards the other bed and picked up his AR-15 rifle and his face mask.
Turning around, he found Axle with his mask on and a backpack on his back. He was staring at Max in a daze.
"You really know how to get in trouble.." He spoke with a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
"What happened?" Max asked in confusion.
"I didn't notice it earlier. But how did you get that uniform with a fox mark on it." Axle asked.

"I killed a guy earlier in a fight to death." Max spoke while stretching his hands out showing his helplessness in the situation.
"I don't care if you kill this bunch. But you should have avoided that guy." He spoke while massaging his forehead.
"Is something wrong?" Max asked, feeling an ominous foreboding.
"You know right, what the seven sins are." He asked Max with a smile.
"Yeah ".
"Sin of the Lion, Pride "
"Sin of the Serpent, Envy "
"Sin of Dragon, Wrath "
"Sin of Goat, Lust"
"Sin of Pig, Gluttony "
"Sin of Bear, Sloth"
"Sin of Fox, Greed "
As Max finished speaking, a realisation struck him and sweat started to form on his head.
"Yes, I think he was a prospective candidate for the seat of Greed." He spoke with a smile.
"Forget it, it's already done." Max said while walking towards the door.
"Yeah, don't worry. I am here for you. From now on we are comrades in arms." He heard Axle speaking.
"Do you know the way towards the formation "Max asked.
"Yes, but it's heavily guarded." He spoke with seriousness.
"But, I have a plan." Axle spoke with a smile and a cold glint in his eyes which gave him chill.
'This guy.... let's hear him.'
