Chapter 296 - Miss Yukiho
The goal of everyone in the camp was to hit the level cap for the attributes. There were many underlying goals as well but they were specific to the individual young master.
But that level wasn't going to rise all on its own by staying in bed was it? And what could Colt even hope to do staying as weak as he was?
Benton shrugged.
Benton had faith in his intelligence.
'But it would never hurt to check out myself.'
The only problem was that he would have to wait for the teaming up and the day to be over before making any move.
His lips bloomed to a slight smile as he felt that everything was under his control. But in the world of hell, such assumptions must never be made.

Klautz's brows twitched.
"So you are Yuki...Who?"
"NOoooooooo!"
Shizu shook her head left and right causing her hair to unfurl along with her red and pouting cheeks..
"It's Yukiho… HOOOO," she screamed at Klautz for teasing her.
And worst of all, it was in front of her entire team! The surrounding people who heard her couldn't help but chuckle. She didn't like the type of person who would be giving them a hard time as long as they worked under her.
'Talk about coincidence.'
Klautz rolled his eyes.
It was indeed an irony but he was the last person to believe that it was a coincidence.
That would explain why he had almost never heard of that name. No matter how bad a situation Klautz would have been in his previous life, he should have at least perfectly remembered all of the prominent family names that were active in his time.
It wasn't Klautz's fault that he exclaimed as soon as he heard of a never heard name. After all, all the second gens should have come from prominent families.
That could only mean that the family in question had been wiped out along with Shizu herself, since Klautz had never seen Shizu in his past life either. She was the worst form of a variable that Klautz could ever expect.
'But since it was a family that is going to be wiped out, I didn't put much thought into them… But now, I have my doubts.'
*sigh*
Klautz sighed.
'When will my life be somewhat easier?'
It turned out that Yukiho or Yuki..who was quite the influential one. The name of the family itself possessed a lot of questions in more than one way.
Who would have thought that it would be Shizu herself?
'Well this is fine too. At least in the short term.'
Klautz primal worry of a friction arising between him and the second gens due to their complexities seemed to be unfound now.
Somehow Klautz had ended up with their weakest of them all instead of the strongest. And it turned out he wasn't the only one. Klautz eyes soon met Selena as they smiled at each other for a second and turned away the very next moment to avoid catching attention.
"You know I never thought that Yuki..who would be you. I thought it was some other girl."
But Klautz just had to drop the bomb on Selena's fragile heart making her clench his fists.
" Hmph, you are one to talk!" Shizu continued, "I thought that I would almost die trying to spell your name and finding it amongst hundred of people! And how many times I have to say. It's Yukiho!"
Shizu was soon to throw a tantrum. But her face soon darkened as realized what she had done.
"OOps!"
She shut her mouth with her hands. But it was too late.
But Klautz could only shrug as it was something that he already knew.
Was it because of the unusually non intuitive pronunciation of his name that made it hard for people to pick up on him? After all, Shizu certainly had Selena to help her out with such an issue but others didn't.
But Klautz shook her head.
'No, it would be foolish to think like that. Not everyone is as childish like her, especially Benton. That could only mean…'
That could only mean one thing. Shizu was able to single handedly override all of the squirmishes done by the others and pick up Klautz from amongst hundreds of people.
Was it love of a sister for her brother that allowed her to find him despite all odds? But how could that be the case? The world of hell rarely worked on emotions.
'Her family name…'
'Was there anything unique about it?'
Despite her childish appearance, it seemed that Shizu had connections and influence far greater than any of the other second gens. For some odd reason her weak strength wasn't enough to hold her back.
Klautz could never believe that it was her alone who could have accomplished countering the others, which led him to suspect her backing instead.
'Who could it be? Who is the one behind her… Seems so surreal when I haven't even heard of this family name before.'
'If I were to believe that all of this is true then it would easily explain why she was able to join the camp far ahead of any of the others.'
Klautz lips twisted. It seemed that the Yukiho family were natural rule breakers or was it just Shizu?
Shizu had someone join the camp even before any of the other second gens could even prepare for it.
'There people can't just barge in on their own accord.'
There were certain rules and traditions that even they had to face. But Shizu's background was strong enough to break apart even those shackles and come here early for odd reasons. Klautz hadn't paid much attention to it but the more that he thought about it the more weird it seemed to be.
'Not to mention she is certainly quite loaded despite her age.'
"Big Brother?"
