Chapter 190 - Everything Is Over (2/2)
Then, he rode his bike to the cold drink bar.
Schuck was the earliest to arrive. After all, as the host, he had to prepare breakfast for his friends, who would criticize him if the breakfast was bad.
Roland sat down, greeted Schuck, and drank a mouthful of the soybean milk.
Then, he chit-chatted with Schuck. Soon, Li Lin and the rest of the gang except Betta all arrived.
It was not the weekend, so Betta had cla.s.ses.
After they were all gathered, they began to brag about how awesome they were in the PK last night.

Brazil said, “Those boys tried to avoid my arrows by jumping. How juvenile. Don’t they know that making an arrow take turns is a basic trick for a qualified Hunter?”.
Raffel said, “Their fat was dripping under my fire. The scent of barbecue smelled great.”
Li Lin said, “I was lucky enough to find two pieces of magic equipment.”
Husseret said, “I’ll share the money that I got by selling the bodies with you later.”
As for Schuck, who had killed the most people, and Roland, who made the greatest contribution, they didn’t talk at all.
After the bragging was mostly over, Schuck said, “Since we’ve met each other in the game, I think we can get together more often. We can carry out quests and fight other players together.”
Raffel and the other three friends nodded in agreement.
Roland, however, shook his head. “I have to go back to the Magic Tower. I’m different from you. Level is the only thing that matters for you, but not for the Mages. Knowledge of spells is also important for us. If I’m engaged in quests and PK with you every day, other Mage players will catch up with me soon.”
“That’s indeed a problem.” Schuck frowned.
Frowning with a wrinkled face, Raffel asked, “Then what do we do? It’s not fun if we don’t play together.”
“Actually, there’s no need to rush.” Roland thought for a moment and said, “You can hang out first for now, and I’ll try to learn Long-Distance Teleportation, so that I can reach you immediately if anything happens. What do you think?” “Is that spell easy to pick up?” asked Schuck. Roland shook his head. “I have no idea.”
That was only natural. The magic apprentices, including Vivian, didn’t know where to learn spatial magic, and Aldo, the most knowledgeable person Roland knew, was gone. Roland felt that he was like a headless fly that was buzzing about randomly, not knowing his destination.
“I can ask for you back in the Temple of Light.” Schuck thought for a moment and said, “There’s an enormous library in the Holy Realm. I think it must contain books on magic. With my ident.i.ty, I can take out a few books for you.”
Roland shook his head. “I doubt it can help. Yours are divine techniques, and ours is magic spells. They’re not the same.”“Then I don’t think I can help you.” Schuck sighed.
However, Roland thought of something else. “You have reminded me of something. The headquarters of the a.s.sociation of Mages at the capital of Hollevin might have teleportation spells. I can pay a visit there. I have sort of a friend there. The capital is close to Isnas too. A trip there wouldn’t take much time.”
“Okay then. We’ll hang out together next, and you can play on your own for now.” Schuck continued with slight disappointment, “Let’s keep in touch in the guild system.”
“Got it.”
They went to the saber arts club later. In the afternoon, Roland browsed through the forums and chatted with his Mage friends on his social networking apps, accepting their admiration and adulation.
At night, Roland re-entered the game.
He found himself back in Isnas. He intended to have a talk with Husseret, when someone who looked like a butler stopped him.
“Esteemed mage, Princess Evelyn wonders if you can meet her.”
