Chapter 285
Anfey’s life suddenly had become very simple since he started school . The only two places he would go were the academy and Saul’s home . However, his workload had increased . He began reading through books on the basics of magic . He had found so many books that, should he stack them up in a pile, they would tower over him . Even though he was far from memorizing everything in the books, he was already familiar with a few major points . He was trying to accumulate as much knowledge as possible in preparation for his future classes .
After Steger returned to Sacred City, he changed the policies at the academy . He picked out the best students and created three elite classes . Anfey was put in the intermediate elite class .
After two classes, Anfey realized that his thought process was often faster than the professor’s in class . However, he knew he had to stay in classes because the teachers would often talk about their own experiences with practicing a certain spell . These experiences were not recorded in books, and Anfey had no way of knowing them unless he sat through the class .
Since he was often bored in class, he began bringing books to the class . If he liked the professor, he would listen while he read . The professors did not care much about what he did, and his classmates were all too attentive to notice that he wasn’t .
A lot of students soon noticed that Anfey was always accompanied by a young woman . When he was in class, the young woman would sit outside and meditate . When he was in between classes, she would always be by his side . When the day was over, they would leave together, chatting and laughing . Everyone could tell that they were very much in love . Some people were envious, but everyone chose to remain silent after learning who Anfey was . Not only was he someone who had outstanding accomplishments during the recent war, he was a student of the archmage Saul . Of course, the main reason most people chose to stay away was Suzanna’s senior swordsmaster badge . Most students were still too inexperienced and knew better than try to flirt with a girl with a senior swordsmaster badge .
On this particular day, Anfey knew that he did not need to go to his two morning classes . Both professors tended to teach exactly what was in the books and rarely talked about their own experiences . Instead of going, he chose to stay home and take notes . He finished around noon, and left with Suzanna . However, they both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw a line of carriages in front of the mansion .
Blavi, Riska, Sante, and the other students were all standing next to the carriages, staring at the mansion with gaping mouths . Like Niya, their faces were filled with excitement and delight .
"Sister!" Shally jumped out of the carriage and dashed towards Suzanna .
Another creature jumped out after Shally and dashed towards Anfey . The unicorn ran into Anfey, sending him stumbling backwards so he needed to regain his balance . The unicorn fell over onto the ground . However, a collision like this was more like a game to the unicorn and could not harm it . It jumped up and bounced towards Anfey again .
Anfey jumped aside to avoid a second collision, then grabbed the unicorn’s mane and pulled it towards him . "Calm down," he said, patting the unicorn’s head . "Thank god you don’t have your horn yet . " He shuddered at the memory of the fight between the unicorn and the manticore .
"I missed you so, sister!" Shally cried, hugging Suzanna .
"I missed you as well," Suzanna said with tears in her eyes . Even though Saul had told her that the carriages had not encountered any danger, she could only relax when she saw with her own eyes that her sister was safe .
"Anfey," Riska greeted him with a smile .
"Is everyone here?"
"Yes . "
"That’s good," Anfey said, smiling . "Where’s Lord Miorich?"
"He went to the palace . "
"Who’s back? Who’s back?" Niya hurried out of the mansion and asked .
"Everyone," Anfey said with a smile . "Come on, let’s go inside . "
Everyone was excited to finally return home . Their experience had completely changed them . Normally, people who leave home to expand their experience would begin with easier tasks . No one would start with difficult responsibilities the way they had . They were constantly straddling the line between life and death, and were therefore much more experienced than their peers .
The butler ordered the servants to bring food so they could catch up while snacking . Riska talked about what happened after Anfey, Suzanna, Niya, and Christian left, and Anfey talked about the encounter with the necromancers . However, he hid the truth about how Slanbrea died . He trusted his friends, but he knew that it was better if they did not know the truth .
Shally swallowed a piece of cake and wiped her hands on a piece of towel . She sat up straight and tugged on Riska’s shirt .
