Chapter 28

Just as the ordinary mages around were discussing Alice’s identity and appearance in shock, Elise, who was beside Alice, said, “There’s still me.”

After saying that, another pile of magic cores appeared out of thin air on the testing platform.

“Another spatial pocket.”

The staff members were already somewhat numb and immediately began counting:

“5 high-level low-level Earth elemental magic cores, 3 high-level intermediate fire elemental magic cores, a total of 8 magic cores. They have already been registered in your system information.”

“Tsk tsk, another girl from a rich family.”

“Amazing, these three should be together!”

“Should be. They all look very unfamiliar. It might be this year’s special enrollment.”

“Ugh, this year’s special enrollment is too fierce. This has never happened before.”

“Hehe, I don’t care about the special enrollment. I’m only looking at the two beautiful girls in the catacombs! Especially that black-haired girl with the baseball cap. I would like to call her the most beautiful woman in the catacombs!”

…

Listening to the discussions of the people around, Elise pouted and looked at Alice and Hughes. She said cutely, “It’s all your fault. You stole the limelight!”

“I didn’t know it would be like this.”

Hughes smiled and said, “If I had known earlier, I would have put you in front.”

“Hmph, it’s too late for you to say that now! You’ve stolen all the limelight!”

Elise said childishly.

Although she has not known Hughes for long, she felt like she clicked with him.

Therefore, her words sounded very casual.

“Since the tests have been completed, let’s go.”

Alice chuckled and ignored Barzel and derrick. She wanted to walk out with Hughes and Elise.

“Bastard!”

Barzel stared in the direction where the three of them had left and cursed angrily.

However, he could only curse behind their backs. Whether it was Hughes, who killed 13 demon beasts in a day, or Alice and Elise, who had a dimensional pocket, they were not people he could provoke.

…

At eight o’clock in the evening, on the path back to the school, Hughes, Alice, and Elise were walking slowly.

“Hughes, you’re very powerful. You killed 13 demon beasts in one day.”

Elise, who was walking to the left of the two of them, revealed a beautiful smile and said.

“Fortunately, didn’t the two of you also kill more than ten in total?”

Hughes smiled slightly and said.

“But there’s only so many because of the two of us together!”

Alice, who was walking in the middle, suddenly interrupted.

“It’s already very good that you two girls can do this.” Hughes could not help but say.

The physical fitness of girls was still inferior to that of boys.

Moreover, the two of them were fighting together, which meant that the dozen or so demon beasts of the two of them must have gone to search one by one and then worked together to kill them.

Although it was faster for the two of them to kill the demonic beasts together, it would definitely take a lot of time to search for the demonic beasts midway!

Just like that, the two of them were able to kill more than ten demonic beasts, which was enough to show how powerful the two of them were.

Perhaps, the strength of these two people was not much different from his!

“You’re saying that girls can’t do it!”

Alice’s gaze was fixed on Hughes, which made Hughes lower his head and touch his nose.

“I’m just saying that a girl’s physical strength might be a little weaker.”

“Haha, I’m just teasing you. Aren’t we too good-looking?”

Looking at the sudden burst of a smile, Hughes secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Yes, she was my type! He thought to himself.

“Oh right, Hughes, do you have a contact number? Let’s exchange it.”

Suddenly, Hughes said. “Didn’t you say that you don’t have any contact information?”

Hughes raised his eyebrows.

“I just got it, can’t I?”

Alice didn’t want to be outdone and looked back.

“Yes, yes, let’s exchange our phone numbers.”

After looking at Alice for five or six seconds, Hughes was defeated. He took out his phone and saved her contact information.

There was nothing he could do. She looked at him with her big clear eyes, making him feel that it was a very sinful thing not to agree with her.

“There’s still me! I want your contact information too!”

Elise, who was beside him, also interrupted.

“Okay.”

Hughes nodded slightly.

“Since we already know each other today, why don’t we have dinner together?”

Elise, who had a plus-sign contact, said with a smile.

“Sure.”

Hughes nodded with a smile.

He still had time for dinner.

The place Elise mentioned for dinner was not far from the Lach Academy. The three of them walked out of the academy and arrived there within a few minutes.

The restaurant was not big, but it looked very exquisite. The decorations gave off an artistic atmosphere.

Although the decorations looked very artistic, the dishes on the menu were very wild.

“There’s even demon beast meat.”

Looking at the ‘roasted tiger meat’ on the menu, Hughes couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

This dish was made from high-level ground-piercing tiger meat.

And the processing of demon beast meat was very troublesome. He didn’t expect such a small restaurant to be able to handle it.

“This dish is very good. You can try it!”

Alice smiled and said to Hughes.

“From your tone, you used to come here often?”

Hughes asked.

“Yes, the two of us are from San Pedro.”

Alice smiled and said, “Elise and I often came here to eat when we were in high school, so we are absolutely familiar with this place.”

“I see.”

Hughes nodded slightly.

“By the way, do you guys want some wine?”

Elise suddenly asked.

“No, I still have to go to the catacombs tomorrow, so I won’t drink tonight.”

Hughes shook his head.

His mana points were not enough to level up, so he had to seize the time to kill monsters to get mana points.

Drinking alcohol would affect his hunting progress tomorrow.

“You’re still going tomorrow?”

Alice and Elise looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

One had to know that hunting demon beasts was not an easy task.

In that kind of environment, he had to be focused at all times, and the body had to maintain a tense state for a long time.

Under such circumstances, the two of them had only entered for one day, but they already felt physically and mentally exhausted and needed to rest for one or two days.

Moreover, the advancement of a mage also required meditation.

If they spent all their time on hunting demon beasts, it would be a bit of a loss.
