I'm Trapped Inside a Prince as the Most Powerful Entity-Chapter 189: The Bet

After talking for a while, Adam and Alina both left the park. The cool night air was a relief after the heavy conversation. As soon as Adam, in Eric’s body, returned to the assigned dormitory room, his allotted time was up. The control he held over Eric’s body expired. He receded back to his own internal domain.

As soon as he was gone, Eric’s own consciousness came flooding back into his body. He saw that he was standing in his small hostel room. He looked out the window at the dark sky and the glowing magical lamps outside. He understood that it was already nighttime. He felt a deep sense of confusion.

Eric was very surprised by Alina’s last words. She had asked to talk to someone named Adam.

He didn’t understand. He said in a low voice to himself, "Adam? Is he a boy who is in Alina’s class? Why would she ask me to find him?" He felt a pang of something strange.

He did not know it was jealousy. He just felt an odd sense of unease. Eric was waiting for the [System Window] to appear. He expected it to come and explain everything to him. He wanted to know why it had suddenly taken over his body while he was talking to Alina.

Then, the familiar blue System Window came into view in front of Eric. It told Eric that Alina was a little upset. That was why the System Window had to come forward to talk to her.

The System Window then explained to Eric that this problem was Alina’s personal problem. He didn’t need to interfere in it. It said that because this was a girl’s problem, he should not pay attention to it. He should focus on his own training instead.

At first, Eric was thinking that Alina was his friend. He felt that he should help her solve her problem. But after hearing the [System Window]’s logical words and thinking that Alina’s problem was a "girl’s problem," something he knew nothing about, Eric decided to leave the matter alone. He trusted the System. He went to his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, as Eric was taking his class in Section A, he was thinking about this matter all day. He kept glancing over at Alina, who was sitting near Monica. She still looked sad and withdrawn.

Then, a loud bell rang through the Academy, indicating that the morning classes were over. It was now lunchtime.

Eric knew that today was an important day. All the students in the academy had to go to the mission office and choose their first mission. In the nearby forest, missions from F-rank all the way up to the legendary S-rank were available. This forest was a vast, dangerous place, but it was carefully controlled by the Empire’s soldiers, the Imperial Guard.

A powerful dragon lived deep within this forest. It had been living there for many years. Everyone knew the story. The Emperor himself had defeated this dragon many years ago in a great battle.

And since then, that dragon lived in the forest under a pact with the Emperor.

It controlled the other powerful monsters of the forest with its immense energy so that they would not randomly attack the city and the academy. The monsters of this forest were used for training and for missions by the academy.

Thinking all this, Eric was sitting in his class. After packing his books and things, he also went towards the cafeteria. As soon as he reached the cafeteria and stepped inside, he immediately felt something strange. A familiar feeling washed over him. But then, Adam again took control of Eric’s body.

Eric’s eyes opened again. But they were now Adam’s eyes. Adam looked inside the bustling cafeteria. He found that his group, The New Warrior group, was sitting in a corner of the cafeteria. All the members were having lunch together. Their eyes immediately went to Adam as he entered.

Void and Kado both waved at him. Adam also smiled at them. He walked over and stood next to their table. "Now is not the time to have lunch," he announced.

Hearing this, everyone in the group was very surprised. Kado also looked at Adam with great surprise and said, "Now what are you thinking of doing? It hasn’t even been a week, and we still have to get the Emperor’s signature for our group. We need to take a mission. Don’t do something crazy."

Then a wide smile came on Void’s face. He knew something interesting was about to happen.

Then Adam looked at all of them and said, "Come with me."

Hearing this, everyone in the group looked at each other. But since Adam was the leader and founder of their group, they all followed his words without thinking. They all stood up, leaving their lunch unfinished on the table.

Adam started walking straight ahead from there. He led his group through the crowded cafeteria. On the right side of the cafeteria, at the very inside, was a whole separate section. It was the best section, and it was reserved for the Golden Group.

Just before that Golden Group section, the members of the Red Group were sitting at their tables. They saw Adam and his group moving forward. But they completely ignored him, turning their heads away with looks of contempt.

Then Adam, after walking a little further, stood in front of the main table of the Golden Group. This was where the leader of the faction, a fourth-year boy named Joshua, was sitting. Joshua was a part of a powerful Imperial noble family.

His family completely controlled the finance and trading of the entire Empire. And Joshua’s family was considered the most powerful noble family after the Emperor’s own.

Joshua looked up at Adam and said in a very calm manner, "Do you need something?"

Hearing this, Adam smiled. He pointed behind him at his own group members who were standing there nervously. "Do you know all these people?" he asked.

Hearing this, Joshua looked at Adam’s finger. He looked at the people Adam was pointing at. He found that they were all members of Adam’s The New Warrior group. Seeing them, Joshua looked back at Adam and said in a very calm manner, "I know who they are. What do you need from me?"

Hearing this, Adam smiled and said, "In the upcoming mission competition today, our team will surpass all of your groups. We will beat the Golden Group, the Red Group, and all of them. We will be at the forefront. We will take the top spot."

Hearing this, Joshua’s calm expression did not change. But inside, his anger increased a lot. He thought in his mind, Has he started flying so high in the air with his two or three little deeds that he thinks he can challenge me and my entire faction?

A short distance away, in the girls’ section, Alina was watching Adam’s action with great tension. She knew what Adam was going to do. Adam had told her everything about his plan last night in the park. Monica was also watching this whole scene with great surprise and worry. She stood up from her table to get a better view.

Then Joshua looked at Adam and said, "If you think so, then that’s a very good thing. A leader should be confident like this. But I don’t understand why you are telling me this."

Hearing this, Adam was very surprised and thought, This boy is not like the common noble family members he has seen in this academy so far. He seems very cautious and intelligent.

Then Adam smiled again and said, "Because I want to make a bet with you."

Hearing this, Joshua’s eyebrows went up. He looked at Adam with great surprise and said, "You want to make a bet with me?"

Then Adam said, "Today, if my team defeats your Golden Group team in completing the missions, then you will have to give me two members of your Golden team. I will choose which two members I want, and you will release them from your group."

Hearing this, Joshua was very surprised and kept thinking for a few seconds. But even while thinking, he was looking at Adam. He knew this "Eric" was strong. But to complete enough missions to beat his entire faction, and to do it with a group of weak first-years, was almost impossible. Then Joshua thought of something. He looked at Adam and smiled and said,

"Okay. I accept your bet. But if the Golden team wins, then you will have to break up this new group of yours. You will all have to join the Golden Group. And you will have to call all the members of the Golden Group ’Master’ for the next four years. It does not matter if they are in your year or if they are your seniors."

Hearing this, Adam smiled to himself and thought, I just had to trap him. And no matter how smart you are, you finally got trapped. Seeing this, Adam extended his hand forward to seal the bet.

But Joshua, seeing Adam’s hand, stood up from his table. He looked at Adam and said, "I don’t shake hands with people who are weaker than me in status, in money, and in power."

Hearing this, Adam smiled and said, "I also feel very good when I break the arrogance of arrogant people like you. And their faces are under my feet."

Hearing this, Joshua’s face became even more angry. The bet had been made. And the entire cafeteria had been a witness.
