Two-Star Mage Promotion Assessment (4)

Rothgarr thought of the fragile state of Raymond’s body when facing Anna, and suddenly became agitated for some reason.

“Of course,” Rothgarr sneered, “To demons, humans are a lower race. Would you die for a cat or a dog?”

Anna smiled and said, “Of course not. So, I think this version has been changed quite well.”

She let go of the demon’s forearm and leaned back deeply on the back of her chair. She was boldly testing to see if he had even a morsel of affection for her, as they had been together for more than four months; even a pet would have affection after being raised for so long, right?

But the result of her test disappointed her. She could see that what he said was sincere. To him, a demon, humans were inferior races, so how could he have any feelings for her.

Forget it, she shouldn’t have such extravagant expectations.

Rothgarr looked at Anna, he felt acutely that her mood seemed a little down, but she was still smiling.

Why? She didn’t actually like this version of the opera?

Of course it was impossible for her to like it, this version was so bad, it was not even as good as the first one.

Rothgarr was still thinking when Anna yawned and stood up and said, “It’s getting late, it’s time for me to go home.”

Rothgarr also got up and said, “I’ll take you back.”

“No need,” Anna gave him a charming smile, “I have something to think about. I want to take a walk.”

Anna was clearly smiling, but Rothgarr felt a little at a loss when he saw her expression. He didn’t insist: “Suit yourself.”

The two walked out of the theater. Rothgarr watched Anna leave on foot, looked back at the theater, and once wanted to settle the account with the theater manager, but after standing there for more than ten seconds, he suddenly felt it was pointless and got straight into the carriage to leave.

Anna liked to walk slowly in the dark and think quietly.

Thinking of the demon’s answer just now, she couldn’t help but sigh.

He really didn’t hide his contempt for humans at all.

The darkness had the ability to make people more emotional, and as Anna was surrounded by the night, she suddenly remembered the scene of the demon covered in blood that day in the line of life and death, fighting to protect her.

If she didn’t think about his real purpose, he was actually quite handsome in that moment.

She also remembered that compared to the trembling appearance when facing him at first, she was obviously more relaxed now, and sometimes even forgot his true purpose and really treated him as a friend.

But in the end, she was too naive. He was sincerely treating her as a prey. How could she, a prey, have feelings for a hunter? No matter how many times he helped her and saved her, he would only want her life, her soul.

Anna sighed, she should snap out of it and not be misled by him.

She decided that whenever she thought that the demon was not bad, she would just think about the opera she watched today, and the sobering effect would be enough.

When Rothgarr saw Anna the next day, of course he discovered nothing wrong with Anna.

Anna continued to devote herself to her studies, even more focused than before when she was preparing for the one-star promotion assessment. She knew very well that only strength was her backing, and she couldn’t expect the demon to suddenly be kind and let her go.

After nearly ten days, it was time to register for the two-star mage assessment.

In the Mage Association, there were forty-seven, no, right now it was fifty-two one-star mages. Likewise, there were more who had signed up for the assessment of two-star mages, but among the five new mages disciplines, Anna was the only one who signed up.

When Anna went to register, the staff at the registration office were surprised to see her. She only became a one-star mage half a month ago, so of course they still remembered her clearly. They thought she wanted to practice, and while they felt it was a bit early, they were not qualified to say anything.

After Anna signed up, she continued to devote herself to the study and cultivation of the two-star promotion assessment. She consolidated the four topics one by one. Because it was a little troublesome to train in actual combat, she chose a day to go to Leon to ask how much the gap between her actual combat level and that of a two-star mage was.

Leon smiled lightly and said, “If I were to grade you in the second-star promotion assessment, I would give you excellent marks.”

Anna smiled in surprise: “I’m that good right now?”

“Yes, it won’t be difficult for you to upgrade to two stars, you will definitely pass.” Leon said and then paused, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back. Anna still had to prepare for the two-star assessment, so he shouldn’t disturb her at this time and distract her.

Anna was still immersed in the joy just finding out how powerful she was, and she didn’t notice that Leon was hesitating to say something.

But even if she noticed it, she probably would pretend that she didn’t. One unlucky person being targeted by the demon was enough.

Anna had signed up for the second-star assessment just after she became a one-star mage, and this news gradually spread throughout the Mage Association.
