A piercing scream jolted Ryan's head around. Focusing his gaze on two guards, he saw the cute pink-haired girl being hauled off. She was struggling, and her legs were flying out, trying to kick the guards on either side.
"Get the heck off me, you brutes!"
"You know I can make my money back. This is your fault!"
"What kind of crappy place do you all run?" Somehow getting her arms free, she dropped to the floor and began running around the room. The guards pursued her as she darted around the tables.
"The dealers are cheating! Check your cards; this isn't a legal casino!" Running towards the door, her hands in the air, her middle fingers flying at anyone that looked at her. She slammed through the door and was gone.
Taking advantage of all the commotion, Ryan walked around the perimeter of the room and quietly let himself out of the seedy enclosure, taking a deep breath of fresh air as he entered the alley.
'Interesting. Do these guys really think they can take down the BCN? Isn't it a collaboration between the Red Dragon Empire, Holy Phoenix Empire, The Human Kheaweth Empire, and the Dawn Pavilion? How can two stupid guys take down such a large collaboration?'
Not really paying attention to where he was going, Ryan found himself heading across the campus straight toward the library.
I should check it out. I bet I can learn a little bit more about BCN. I could find someone to talk to over there and capitalize on this little tidbit of information and make some extra money. Oh yes, I need the money now that I've upgraded to E-Rank in my race. Race crystals are 50,000 campus credits each, and I need 10 to upgrade to D-Rank.'

"What do you need?" The automated attendant questioned Ryan as he stepped into the information booth.
Cubicles lined the front part of the student library. Inside each cubicle, students could ask their questions to the virtual assistant, and they would point them to the area of the library that held the most information for their questions.
"Yeah," Ryan mused, "I think I'm looking into the Dawn pavilion, BCN, and, let's say, their server room."
"Go to floor three, Aisle 42," the monotone voice answered.
Ryan headed to one of the six space lifts that carried students between floors. The lifts were cylinder shaped and all glass. Stepping into the nearest one, Ryan almost tripped over a foot sticking out from what appeared to be a sleeping girl lying on the floor.
Ryan crouched down to check on the girl. "Hey. Are you OK?" He shook her shoulders a little so that she would wake up. Or move. Or something.
Chocolate eyes, long lashes, a beautiful pixie face, and long pink hair took Ryan's breath away. It was the crazy girl from the casino. Crazy cute, that is.
"Would you be OK if you lost all your money? Don't mind me. I'm just here for the ride."
"Well, if you're about done with your ride, any chance you could point me in the direction of Aisle 42 on the third floor? My name is Ryan, by the way. I saw you in the casino. Sucks for you." Ryan's new skill [Death Before Fear] made him unable to continue calling himself Anthony. 'Only people who are afraid need to lie to people weaker than them.'
"Yeah, whatever," the girl mumbled as she uncoiled herself and slowly pulled herself up, holding onto Ryan's outstretched hand. "Yeah, I'll take you. I have nothing better to do."
"So why are you here?" she asked, brushing her hands together and smoothing down her hair. "The name is Zoey, and if you won in the casino, then I am your best friend for today," She laughed, hooked her arm with his, and stood a little too close to be called friendly.
Ryan laughed, not pulling his arm away. "Yes, I did win, though I'm not one to squander money."
Zoe began to pull her arm away from his.
But he held her arm and didn't let her escape. "Although if you help me, I don't mind sharing in on my planned windfall. But to do that, I need to look into the Dawn Pavilion."
"You had me at windfall," Zoe said as she pulled Ryan through the space lift doors and marched him down the aisle. "I'll show you a shortcut to access any information you want."
Zoey lead Ryan to a place in Aisle 42. Hundreds of books titled, The History of the Dawn Pavilion, Chronicles of the Dawn Pavilion, Hierarchy of the Dawn pavilion, Heirs of the Dawn Pavilion, and the Dawn Pavilion Throughout the Ages filled the library stacks.
Zoe threw up her hands and waved them in front of a blinking button on the stacks making a hologram appear.
"There you go. Type in any question you want, and the information will shuffle through all of the books that appear on the shelf. Some of the information that appears in the books is not in the main system and has been added in a separate feature. Only the older students know that you can access the holograms to retrieve information rather than looking through each and every book." She looked up at Ryan, put her finger to her lips, and whispered, "That's something that the teachers don't let you know your first year. They want you to suffer."
Twitching his eyelids, Ryan muttered, "Haha, yeah, that would have been nice to know."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFor the next several minutes, Ryan looked up Dawn Pavilion hierarchy, Dawn Pavilion leadership, BCN, and Dawn Pavilion schematics; finally, he located the place where he could go to cash in on his information.
He was having a difficult time concentrating, though. As he was trying to focus his energy on learning facts, Zoey was trying to focus her energy on learning his facts.
Ryan felt a sensation on his inner thigh as Zoey wetted her lips. "You wouldn't need help with something else, would you, Ryan?"
"Go ahead. I'm not one to keep a girl from her meal," Ryan said as he continued looking through the books.
Kneeling on the ground, Zoey unbuckled Ryan's belt and dropped his trousers. Starting to rub Ryan's circumference through his boxers, Zoey lightly kissed it through the thin fabric, the warmth and wetness of her saliva-soaked lips making Ryan grunt in pleasure.
As his cock started to lengthen, Zoey's eyes began to widen in surprise, 'It hasn't even been 2 minutes yet. How can it be getting hard already?'
'It must be my amazing technique,' Zoey grinned to herself, expertly teasing Ryan's cock through his boxers.
The sensation was heavenly, but after two minutes of constant kisses, Ryan knew he needed more sensation to take it to the next level.
Touching the hologram with one hand, he looked around to make sure no one was watching and slipped his dick through the hole in his boxers and activated his aura.
Seeing Ryan's hard pulsating cock spring free, Zoey's craving for debauchery enormously intensified. Her breaths became haggard, and her throat let out a purring sound.
Raising one eyebrow, Ryan momentarily took his eyes away from the screen to see pink bunny ears spring free from her head.
