"I would love to hear more about this adventure of yours. Please take a seat." He gestured for Blake to take a seat. "Liquor or coffee?"
"Water will be okay." Blake said.
Professor Gibson nodded with a smile as a glass of water appeared. "It's quite odd that someone your age decided to go for a cup of water, but that makes you special."
It would have been odd for any indigene of infinite realm. Most nobles start drinking wine from quite a young age, and when it came to the commoner kids they had water all their lives, so when an opportunity like this came up they wouldn't reject it.
After the system made sure the glass of water wasn't spiked, Blake emptied it before talking. "It started when the Winchester offered us an escort commission…"
Blake began narrating his entire adventure to the underground facility. When he got to the researches going on, Blake didn't go into details. Professor Mack was asking a lot of questions when it came to the researches, but all Blake gave him were surface-level descriptions.
He finally got to where they got to the control room. He even told him about the part where they freed Azkelwart and got Ebony and Ivory.
During the report at the adventurer association, Blake hadn't told them that the body looked exactly like Professor Mack, but he decided to tell Mack about it.
Blake felt there was some kind of relationship between Mack and the body they saw. So it wouldn't be nice if it turned out that he knew about the place and everything in it.
"From your description, I will say it isn't a research facility, but kind of a base and from history, there are only a handful of people who had bases like that. From your description, I could tell that a high tier of forbidden magic was being researched there and the only person I know that is familiar with forbidden magic is..."
"Azkelwart!" Blake said in realization when he remembered the story Professor Mack had told them back in class.
Him surviving not getting killed by forbidden magic during his research on the space pathway might sound like luck, but adding info from the base to the picture was kind of suspicious.
"Maybe that was is why a lot of people say that I am a reincarnation of Azkelwart." Professor Mack chuckled.
'That sounds very odd and is too much to be a coincidence!' Blake's head felt overloaded.
[Very very odd.] The system confirmed.
"May I have a look at the sword you got?" Professor Mack asked, but Blake seemed to be hesitant about it.
"You don't have to worry, I am not interested in weapons and I don't have any need for swords." Professor Mack laughed when he saw Blake's reaction.
'It's not as if I will be able to do anything even if he was to attack me.' Blake warned him about the sword's defensive mechanism before handing over Ebony and Ivory in their combined form.
Not planning on touching the sword, Professor Mack made it levitate as he examined it.
'It's just like I remembered it to be.' Professor Mack felt like caressing the two things that had kept him company while he was still in the base. "Wow! An epic rank greatsword, no wonder you were hesitating to let me have a look."
"Thanks a lot I enjoyed your story and company, but I have other things to do." Professor Mack said as he returned Ebony and Ivory.
"See you later then." When Blake stood up to leave, a warp array opened and he appeared in his room.
When he was sure that he was in his room Blake let out a sigh of relief. "It is usually at that scene that the character gets killed."
[I am surprised that he was unable to detect that it is a legend tier sword.] The system thought.
"What do you think would have been his reaction if he knew it was a legend tier sword?" Blake asked.
[Well, I don't think he is that kind of person.] The system replied, but that was when his adventurer amulet rang.
"Good day Adventurer Zero, the info you requested has been sent in by the Winchester family. They would like to know when you will be ready to take action." Susan reported.
"Tell them that after I take a look at the info, I would get back to them." Blake replied.
"Have a nice day." Susan said with a smile as the communication was cut off.
"That was way quicker than thought. Let's see what's inside here." Not wasting any more time, Blake opened the info to know its contents.
The info contained the number, the location of the gang's hideout and its defenses, the number of henchmen controlled by the gang, and their individual strengths.
"They really did a good job, this was way better than I expected. Come to think of it I wonder how difficult it would have been if we were the ones to gather the info." Blake thought.
The Winchester family was able to gather this level of intel on the gang because they controlled a lot of people. If it were Blake's team, it would have been many times harder because they were only 3 people.
It means they would have missed a week of classes, and even at that, they wouldn't be as efficient.
"I have to go meet the guys and set a meeting for tonight. A lot of preparations have to be made." Blake went off in search of Castiel and Brian.
...
Back in Professor Mack's office.
"From our interaction, I can say he trusts me to a certain level, but his hesitation when I requested for the sword showed it isn't fully." Hoffenheim thought to himself.
"On second thought, I think it was a natural reaction to be afraid of the greed of someone a lot stronger than you. Well, I think he deserves the gift I left for him." Professor Mack thought with a smile.
