World Magic: I Awakened Light and Dark Magic Attributes - Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Big Brother Hughes

Thinking of this, Alice reminded him:

“Hughes, actual combat training also requires a combination of work and rest. If you keep going to the catacombs, then you won’t have the time to meditate and advance.”

“It’s fine. I’ve already planned it out.”

Hughes said with a smile.

The mana points had not reached the level where they could be upgraded. How could he give up on hunting demon beasts?

“Take care of yourself then.”

Alice nodded slightly.

Although she liked Hughes a little, she had only known him for a few days. Naturally, she could not interfere with his choice too much.

Therefore, even if Hughes’ choice seemed a little inappropriate to her, she did not say anything more.

Two hours later, after eating and drinking to their heart’s content, Hughes, Alice, and Elise walked out of the dining hall and headed towards the Lach Academy of Magic once again.

“Hughes, which dormitory are you in?”

On the way, Elise asked curiously.

“Dormitory 213. What about you guys?”

Hughes replied with a smile.

“We’re both in dormitory 523. Elise and I are together. We’re roommates.”

Alice said while stroking her hair.

“Dorm 523? It seems to be right behind us!”

Hughes raised his eyebrows. Yesterday, he took a look at the house number behind them. It seemed to be number 523.

“Yeah, we’re in the villa behind you!”

Elise smiled and said casually, “If you come to visit us, we’d welcome you very much.”

“Elise!”

Alice’s pretty face instantly turned red, looking very pretty.

“Let’s talk about it in the future.”

Hughes said with a smile.

At present, he was not familiar with the two of them to the extent that he could visit them.

Therefore, it was better to wait until he was more familiar with this kind of thing and then think about it in the future.

The straight line distance from the entrance of the Lach Academy of Magic to the student dormitory was about two thousand meters. Hughes and the other two walked for nearly twenty minutes before they arrived.

“Goodbye, Hughes.”

At the fork in the middle of the student’s villa area, Elise said with a smile.

“Well, see you next time.”

Hughes also waved goodbye. Just as he was about to turn around and return to the dormitory, a slightly flustered and melodious voice was heard. “Hughes, remember to meditate more to improve your strength. Don’t always go to the catacombs.”

When Hughes turned his head to look, he only saw two figures that were already heading towards the dormitory.

The black-haired figure on the left was even more flustered as she jogged.

“She’s pretty interesting.”

Hughes could not help but smile and walked into villa 213.

“Yo, you’re back?”

In the living room, Otis still looked like he had nothing to do. He was stroking the young windstorm wolf while watching TV.

“Yeah.”

Hughes casually threw his bag onto the sofa and then sat down.

Today, he had fought with the demon beasts for a whole day. It would be a lie to say that he was not tired.

“How was it? Did you get anything?”

Otis said with a smile.

He seemed to have seen the regretful expression on Hughes’s face.

“It was okay. I only got some magic cores.”

Hughes, who had sat down, finally felt that the fatigue on his body had eased a little.

“Some magic cores?”

Otis was slightly shocked. Then, he suddenly looked at the slightly swollen backpack on the sofa and said in disbelief, “You’re not telling me that all of these are magic cores, right?”

“Yes.”

Hughes nodded and directly opened the backpack that was thrown on the sofa.

Suddenly, a colorful light was emitted, and it was even somewhat dazzling.

“F*ck, they’re all magic cores!”

Looking at the colorful magic cores that were poured from the backpack in Hughes’ hand, Otis’ eyes widened, and his expression was full of disbelief.

“F*ck, f*ck, you’re really awesome!”

Otis could not help but swear a few times, and then said, “Hughes, no, big brother Hughes, you’re my big brother from now on!

“When I go to the catacombs in the future, can you help guide me!?”

Feeling Otis’ burning gaze, Hughes felt goosebumps all over his body as he hurriedly said, “Don’t look at me like that. When you go to the catacombs for actual combat training, just tell me directly.”

“Haha, then thank you very much, Big Brother Hughes.”

Otis laughed, appearing very happy.

Originally, he had planned to wait until school started before going to the catacombs for actual combat training.

However, now that he had the support of Hughes, his actual combat training time to the catacombs could be brought forward by a large margin!

After finishing his conversation with Otis, Hughes returned to the second floor.

Although he was very tired now, he still did not choose to rest.

Instead, he walked straight into the training room and sat cross-legged on the ground.

During this day’s battle, he had not only gained magic cores.

The most crucial thing was his actual combat experience and his proficiency in casting magic.

Moreover, his spiritual power had become very active after a long period of time.

Therefore, now was the best time to meditate!

As soon as he entered the meditative state, Hughes felt that the speed at which he absorbed magic power was much faster than usual.

“As expected, meditating after a battle can improve my strength better.”

Hughes was delighted and focused on meditating.

On the other side, in villa 523.

Alice and Elise, who had returned to the villa, also sat on the sofa.

“Phew, I didn’t expect that killing demon beasts would be so tiring.”

Elise sighed.

This was also her first time killing a demon beast. Before this, she had thought that killing a demon beast was very easy.

“I think it’s alright. I’m not that tired.” Alice said after taking a sip of water.

Elise rolled her eyes, then said with a wicked smile, “Tch, your s-rank water magic talent can provide you with endless energy. Of course, you won’t be tired.

“Besides, after staying with Hughes for so long, your fatigue has all disappeared.”

Alice could not help but complain. “Elise, if you’re messing around, I’ll ignore you!”

“I’m not messing around. I wasn’t the one who was concerned about Hughes at the fork in the road just now!”

Elise giggled, then imitated Alice’s tone and shouted, “Hughes, remember to meditate more to improve your strength. Don’t always go to the subterranean gallery.”

“Elise!”
