Next, the two gossiped about the association while eating.
Anna deliberately brought up the topic of Leon. She wanted to know who the demon was now possessing. Leon’s reaction to the door closing on him was a little big at the time, and she suspected that the two knew each other before this.
Sure enough, Natalie quickly told Anna an important piece of information. The person who had been at odds with Leon was called Raymond Bailedford, the son of a viscount. He became a one-star mage at the age of ten and a two-star mage at the age of fourteen. He was now eighteen and was preparing for the three-star mage proton assessment that was taking place more than half a year later. Upgrade assessment.
An excellent young mage, just in line with the preferences of the demon.
Anna and Natalie finished their lunch and engaged in a small chat. The two walked out of the canteen together. Anna turned around and said to Natalie: “I’ve nothing to do in the afternoon. Let’s go to the elementary library to read together.”
Now that Leon’s list of book recommendations had been obtained, of course she had to start looking immediately!
Natalie didn’t respond to Anna. Instead, she frowned and looked ahead, her smile in the cafeteria had long since disappeared.
Anna turned her head and looked forward, only to see the two girls who had bullied Natalie yesterday were walking towards them. But unexpectedly, they stopped in front of Anna.
Anna thought about it carefully. She didn’t seem to be doing anything to cause these two to make trouble for her, right? She had just arrived here for a day.
Your name is Anna, isn’t it?” The tall girl looked at Anna arrogantly, as if even talking to Anna was a gift to her.
Anna blinked. As if she hadn’t heard what the other party was saying, she pulled Natalie up and walked away, and said as she walked: “Let’s head to the library, and take advantage of the lack of people to grab a seat.”
Natalie was stunned seeing Anna completely ignoring the two people. Her mood became very good, and she whispered: “Why do you want to grab a seat? There are many seats in the library, and it’s never comparable full.”
Anna thought about it for a while. There were more than one hundred seats in the study room and the open-shelf library. That means the members of the association may be of this order of magnitude.
Black Cloud City was very large. Anna estimated that this city had a population of 100,000. In this world, a city with such a population was already really big, and with such a large population, there were only a few hundred mages, which showed how rare mages were.
After all, they were made from gold coins.
“Then let’s pick a good spot!” Anna said, “Let me tell you, if you choose a good position, you can improve your reading efficiency a lot.”
“Huh, really? Is it because the concentration of natural elements in different places is different?”
“No. Just think, if you are sitting in the aisle with people coming and going, how can you concentrate?”
“Oh.….. That is true! No wonder I can’t remember any of the books I read before, it turns out that it’s because I’ve been sitting in the aisle the whole time!”
“That’s not necessarily true. You may not remember it because you have no talent.”
“Wahhh… Anna, how can you say that to me! Although it’s true I am not talented, but—but I work very hard!”
“Yes, all you need is hard work. Whether you have talent or not is beyond your control, but working hard and not working hard is completely up to you. Don’t complain about the things you can’t control, hold onto the ones you can control.”
“What you said makes sense! From today, I will live in the library! I must pass the promotion exam next time!”
Anna and Natalie talked more and more vigorously, bouncing off each other. Seeing them talk and laugh and walk away, the two girls who came to pick on them were so angry that they chased after them, unsatisfied: “You stand right…Ah!”
The girls stopped with an exclamation, and a golden “sharp arrow” that pierced the ground was slowly dissipating just a foot away in front of them.
The two were pale; the sudden appearance of the gold spell attack frightened them. They looked to the side and saw the gloomy Raymond Bailedford staring at them coldly.
“Don’t let me see you bothering them again.” Rothgarr finished speaking, turned and left.
He had discovered that Anna had no interest in the outstanding young people who took the initiative to come up to her. She only had eyes for spells. However, now that she had become a mage, her all-time wish could be considered half fulfilled. At this time, if an excellent man appeared by her side and silently helped her, she should take a few glances, right?
This time, he intended to adopt the method of playing hard to get. He would help Anna, but he still had to show that he didn’t care much about her. He didn’t believe that she would not take the bait.
He saw Anna turning around because of the movement behind her. Rothgarr planned to leave after she had noticed him, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Anna running towards him.
He couldn’t help sneering in his heart, Look, isn’t this a success?
Anna didn’t expect the demon to appear suddenly, and after a moment of daze, she saw him leaving, and hurried to chase after him.
She wanted to express her good feelings to him immediately, to have him be certain that the body he chose was a good choice. Don’t covet Leon’s body!
