Chapter 31: Adrian Vs Fabian
Satisfied, Adrian headed to his room for lunch. All he needed to do was inform the maid that he was hungry and food was immediately delivered to his room.
By the time he finished, he leaned back and closed his eyes for a brief rest, not having anything to do at that moment.
He had considered to start planning the blueprint for the magic gun by himself, but decided to tackle it only when he had enough time at his disposal.
"An hour can’t be enough," Adrian muttered before embracing sleep.
[2:38 p.m. One hour elapsed.]
After some minutes of sleep, Adrian heard Tech Core announce his alarm into his head. He didn’t grumble or return to sleep as he knew work called for him at the workshop.

The gardens were vibrant under the midday sun as Adrian approached the Eastern wing. He was halfway across a stone path when a voice cut through the calm.
"Hey, genius!"
Adrian kept walking with an unchanged expression. He was well aware of who called him, and he knew the best answer would be to not give any answer at all.
"Oi, genius!" Fabian called again, louder, his boots crunching on the gravel as he closed the distance. "Too good to talk now? Ignoring your betters?"
