Chapter 469 - Not On the Same Level (1/2)
All the students of the Meteorite Cla.s.s were blocked before their cla.s.sroom.
n.o.body dared to walk ahead.
They looked very grim.
They all turned their heads and avoided eye contact with Roland when Roland glanced at them.
Roland waited a moment, but n.o.body had the courage to fight him again.
Roland smiled and left.
His cla.s.smates who watched the drama behind him all put on weird expressions.
There was admiration, mixed with fear and estrangement, on their face.
That was normal. After all, as freshmen, they had always regarded the Red Magic Tower as a holy land and thought that it was the best place in the world.
They believed that Roland was really tough, but they didn’t think that he could be tough forever.
He had only beaten up several mediocre students of the Meteorite Cla.s.s, but wouldn’t their stronger companions fight back the next day?
They would probably block the Ruby Cla.s.s exactly like Roland did here.
By then, what if those strong seniors who came for trouble thought that they were very close to Roland?
They might be beaten up for that.
Therefore, they decided to keep a distance from Roland until the situation became clear.
Along the road, Roland walked to the Obsidian Cla.s.s and saw Betta standing before the cla.s.s with lots of people lying on the ground around him.
Betta was still roaring, “Who’s next? I want to fight ten simultaneously!”
He couldn’t be more c.o.c.ky, but Roland felt great listening to him.
Betta looked around. Seeing that n.o.body dared to fight him anymore, he snorted and left.
Then, he saw Roland and trotted to him, before he said with a smile, “Brother Roland, you are indeed stronger than me. I’ve only just finished my battle.”
Not far away from them, their cla.s.smates at the Ruby Cla.s.s gathered and looked at them in silence.
Roland ignored them and asked, “What do you think of their capabilities?”
“They’re quite weak.” Betta thought for a moment and said, “For example, it’s like we’re all playing LoL, but I’m a Challenger and they’re Bronze. We’re of similar ages. Our capabilities and reaction times should be similar, but they don’t have any battle awareness. They were totally crushed by me.”
Roland had the same feeling. “Things were similar on my side. Not counting the magic s.h.i.+eld, I only used two spells from the start to the end, but they couldn’t find any countermeasure.”
Betta heaved a sigh. “I begin to wonder if this school is really a place where we can learn anything.”
“It definitely is.” Roland smiled. “At least, the people here are familiar with magic theories. Leaving aside the battle experience, we need to grasp the magic theories first. If the magic theories aren’t valuable, we can always pick up a few spell models and learn things like Enchantment.”
Betta said with a smile, “That makes sense.”
Then, they left the school together and both returned to the west district.
Roland invited Betta to stay in his newly-bought manor, but Betta said, “I’ve bought a house in the west district. I would rather live alone.”
Roland narrowed his eyes and stared at Betta for a moment, before he said, “You have dark circles under your eyes. You clearly need rest. Don’t overdo it. Health is what matters most.”
Betta immediately blushed. “Brother Roland, please stop your slandering…”
“You think I can’t tell whether or not you had too much s.e.x?” Roland chuckled. “I’m not a rookie that doesn’t know anything.”
“Enough chatting.” Betta ran off with a red face.
Roland returned to his manor. After he crossed the hole on the wall, he saw the catgirl crawling out of her cave with her beddings to the small house.
Hearing the voice behind her, the catgirl was slightly shocked, but she relaxed after seeing that it was Roland.
She quickly ran back to her small house with the beddings.
Roland thought that she was too shy to talk to him, so he ignored her and walked to his main house.
When he was about to reach the door, the catgirl ran out from the small house and put a few red fruits in front of Roland.
“These are my gifts… Thank you.”
The catgirl’s green eyes were reflecting the bright sunlight.
Roland accepted the red fruits, and the catgirl slipped off again.
Entering the main house, Roland tossed a red fruit into his mouth, only to be amazed after the first bite.
The fruit tasted more delicious than any fruit he had eaten before.
Even the fruits of the elves couldn’t compare to this one.
Roland looked at the fruit in his hand, but he didn’t see any item description. Thinking for a moment, he took a few photos of the fruit and posted them on the forum, asking what the fruit was.
Google could be consulted with questions in life, and the questions regarding the game could always be asked on the forum.
Soon, someone replied, “It’s Red Sand Fruit, a specialty in the desert. It’s succulent but may go bad easily. It’s cheap in the desert but quite expensive in other countries. Also, it’s very valuable for medical purposes, and its medical value will drop if it’s dried. Some merchant players have made a fortune by taking advantage of the container function of their system backpack and s.h.i.+pping the fruits out of the desert kingdom. However, the journey is rather long, so the efficiency of their money-making isn’t very high.”
