Chapter 30 Am I a loner?

After parting ways with Instructor Jacob, Jeremy begins walking towards the Canteen. He has already seen the direction on the map. While walking, he couldn't help but ponder. Now he is representing a fallen department. The future of the department rests on his shoulders. But what if Instructor Jacob's words are true? Then he would get support from the Dean. Gaining her support would be a good thing. Jeremy not only wants to get support, but he also wants to establish a relationship. If he is backed by her, then no one at the University can harm him. Especially thinking about his two old rivals, Petra Ross and Levy Glass. He thinks it would be a matter of time before they try to harm him. He has already seen their worst side. They may act benevolent and nice on the outside, but their real intentions are always hidden. Fortunately, he has awakened A-Grade Talent. The news has kept those two away for some time. But here at the University, they would see each other often. He can't always be on the defensive. So it's necessary to have a backer. Lord Martha is also a big backer, but her role is kept confidential. She has already warned him and his family not to reveal anything about her and the unknown egg. So Jeremy doesn't want to use her name. He can only think of the next option. Dean Carolyn is the next big figure he has to impress. About a few minutes later, He reaches the location where he sees a massive rectangular building. People can be seen having lunch outside with their friends. There is also a big crowd eating inside. It's the general canteen for the first years. Looking at the people coming and going, carrying their food plates, Jeremy resumes walking. He arrives at the counter and receives a food plate. Then he finds an empty chair nearby. He sits down and places the food plate on the table before starting to eat. At the same time, he perks up his ears to listen to people's conversations. "Hey, have you heard the big news?" "The children of the two powerful families are recruiting freshers who have no background." "Tsk!" I ignore them and continue to wait. "Hey, you..." The beautiful lady wants to say something, but her words are cut off midway. Creak! Because the lift door opens. She then glares at him before leaving. The door closes, and the lift starts to move. The Machinery Department Beast Tamers look at each other. "I guess you don't want to talk. But remember, there's a conversation going on about who is the strongest and weakest department representative." "In the coming days, it will gain more traction. So you have to watch your back," the smart guy says once again. "Thanks for the information. I'll be careful," I reply this time. The Beast Tamers smile. When the lift reaches their floor, the lift door opens. Then two of them leave, nodding to me. The door closes again before starting to move. "Is it some kind of ranking?" Jeremy asked himself. When the lift reaches the last floor, the door opens. He stepped out of the lift and started walking towards the lecture hall. After entering the lecture hall, he finds himself all alone again. This time he sits in a chair in the first row and begins to ponder. If the news is true, then he should be wary of the other department representatives. Time passes. Out of boredom, he started checking the news online. The student ID has access to the media site, so he can find out what's going on here. On the other hand, the beautiful lady shares the news with her friend about the Striker Department's representative. After learning that the person is staying on the 5th floor all alone, they are surprised. Because for them, they don't have many breaks. The lectures are given by multiple instructors about medical topics.
