The law of Fiction: Harem in the fiction world
Chapter 109 Ch 107: The Test

Yohan quickly escaped to the temple, not waiting for a chance for the authorities to come after him. Just because the enforcers have not come after him all at once did not mean that he was free.

Moreover, he had a lot of ground to cover and things to digest. His first trip out had proven to be much more difficult than he had initially anticipated it to be.

'I got lucky since I was able to distract the people after me this time. I will have to investigate how those two knew to come after me this early.'

"Hey system, was there a breach in my data? No one is supposed to know my true identity, right?"

The user is correct. No breach in data and corruption had been found. The user's data is as safe as it cane is under the influence of this universe's law.

If the system said it like this then it must be the truth but it did not explain anything to Yohan. It especially did not explain why those two officers had come after him right out of the blue.

Maybe the officers fell for the user's dashing looks and could not hold themselves back from admiring him.

"Can you stop joking around with me, system? I am not laughing at your jokes here."

Yohan chose to take the system's words as s joke even if they did not fully sound like a joke to him.

He quickly walked into the temple building and the magic that had been buzzing around him until now fell quiet. There was a different feeling to the holy space and even the slightly burning feeling was acceptable to him for now.

"Look, isn't that him."

"I don't know but his eyes! They are red. Are they even natural?"

"Then must be since the Head Priest confirmed his identity himself. As expected, the divine beings have a different aura."

"Hey, should I approach him? He looks handsome but…"

Yohan could hear people whisper around him but he ignored them. Just because he could hear them talk did not mean acknowledging them was the right call.

Besides, it seemed like his stunt from the morning had spread around the temple grounds and people had already formed opinions about him. Keeping quiet was likely the best course of action.

Yohan was well-aware of his surroundings and that was why he was not startled when a priest walked up to him and handed him a letter. It had a familiar magical signature on the letter which told Yohan who the sender had been.

"Thank you for the letter. I will open it now if it's alright?"

The priest who had handed Yohan the letter looked anxious. It did not seem like he knew the contents of the letter and it made Yohan curious why Bruce had deployed this method to contact him over everything else.

He could have simply asked the priest to tell Yohan to meet him. It would have solved all the unnecessary hassle they both had to go through.

[Your new room has been decided and we also prepared a decoy conductor for your regular usage. Follow the plan below to get to the secret location.]

Now it made sense why the Head Priest has asked this letter to be delivered to Yohan instead of coming himself. It was likely because of this 'secret' location that Yohan was being made to go.

'System, memorize the map. I am going to burn the letter.'

The letter had not asked Yohan to burn it but he still decided to do it. Mainly because there was no space left in the letter after the map had been engraved on it.

The map had been made using magi-craft and it was a fairly advanced technique. Who-so-ever had made this map was incredibly skilled in their craft.

Once Yohan was out of everyone's view, he opened the map he had copied on his system. It was displayed on top of another overlay of the area his system had mapped out in the morning.

He could see that there was a hidden door that connected the two areas and he was incredibly lucky to have known about it beforehand. If not, then he would have wasted a lot of time looking for the location's entrance.

"Now I know why this map was sent to me in that hidden manner. Is the Head Priest trying to judge how useful I am? That cunning old man should watch his back if he doesn't want to die."

Yohan liked the way the Head Priest had sneakily attacked him. It showed that he was not a mindless fool who was willing to aid Yohan just because he could.

No.

Bruce was weighing his advantage and how much Yohan could bring to the table before making any decisions on his position. It was a nice way to confirm that he was taking Yohan seriously.

'I should also expect to face some traps on my way down. It would not put it past Bruce to test me in that way.'

Now that Yohan knew about the possible outcomes, he was also aware of what he needed to do. Bruce was taking him seriously but he did not seem to believe that Yohan had magic at his disposal.

Either that, or he did not believe that Yohan was strong enough to make use of his magic freely.

"Time to start the show now. System, we will take this secret base down."

Yohan's magic itched to start causing trouble. His magic was burning to be let out and he was not going to stop it.

The ground shook at the intensity of his magic and Yohan forced the door open with his bare hands. The small cave was not able to stop his assault and Yohan quickly covered the ground needed.

Before he knew it, he was in front of the place that had been marked on his map. A single punch brought the door down and he entered the room with a grin.

"I am back. So, did I pass your test?"

Yohan looked down at Bruce who was coughing at what he had witnessed. He had been keeping a look on Yohan the moment he stepped into the temple. But he had lost him as soon as Yohan stepped into the main corridor.

It was as if he had blinked and Yohan had covered the distance between the main door and his room. Yohan's sudden entry had caused Bruce to choke and he coughed to empty his windpipe.

"I…guess you did pass. What kind of magi-craft did you use to get here so fast? Is that a new technique?"

Bruce's surprised expression told Yohan that he was surprised at Yohan's speed and magical usage.

So maybe he was not as skilled as Yohan was thinking he was. And that was likely a good thing since it would make tricking him far easier.

"The use of my magic is a trade secret I cannot tell you. But I think you have a lot to tell me, right? You should get started on it."

Bruce coughed, his face flushing in embarrassment as he hurriedly took a step back. He realized that he was looking just a little bit more overexcited than he needed to look.

"Ah yes. I will take you to your new quarters now. And you should also keep a fake conductor on you to trick the police. We will be heading into the main sector tomorrow and I will take you to meet some important people."
