Chapter 35 (1/2)

Hughes was not a fool, judging from what had just happened.

The little girl beside him and the little boy must have known each other and were very familiar with each other.

Otherwise, the little boy would not have recognized the little girl just by looking at her back.

From the looks of it, the little girl’s purpose in coming to him was a little intriguing.

What was her purpose?

What did she want from me?

The clues were limited, and Hughes did not dare to make wild guesses.

He decided to wait and see. Now that he was on guard, he was confident that he would be able to detect the little girl’s intentions if she wanted to harm him.

After two lifetimes, Hughes’s mind was not something an ordinary young man could compare to.

A little girl of Sylvie’s age basically would not pose too much of a threat to him.

Just as he was thinking about something, Sylvie suddenly shook his arm.

“My name is Sylvie. I’m a student of the capital’s No.3 Magic School. I just turned fifteen this year, and I advanced to Tier-2 a few months ago. What about you? What’s your name?”

Sylvie looked at Hughes with a smile, her eyes filled with cute innocence.

“Ah, my name is Hughes.”

Compared to Sylvie, Hughes’ self-introduction was exceptionally concise.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. Three years ago, after Hughes failed to awaken his talent, he dropped out of the No.1 magic school in the Imperial City.

Strictly speaking, he was a mage without a high school diploma.

However, his brief self-introduction did not reduce Sylvie’s interest in him. Instead, it aroused Sylvie’s strong curiosity.

He was Hughes! The Hughes who was hot news in the imperial city for the past two days.

As the saying goes, good news does not go out, but bad news spreads far and wide!

The people’s rally, Derrick opening a bet for Hughes, and Lucian announcing publicly that he would challenge Hughes.

The three major events that shocked the imperial city had long made Hughes, who had been silent for three years, once again rise to the top of the Imperial City’s hot search rankings.

In this recent period, his name was known to everyone!

Sylvie gently raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the decorative patterns on Hughes’ robe.

One would not know if one did not look, but one would be shocked if one did.

On the cuff of wizard Hughes’ robe, there was a tulip made of gold thread.

Although this tulip was very small and only occupied a finger-sized piece of cloth on the cuff of Hughes’ robe, tjemeticulous Sylvie did not miss this detail.

“It really is him. I actually caught such a big fish this time. It seems that I need to grasp this opportunity well,'” Sylvie thought to himself.

In the Europa continent, every aristocratic family in the upper-class society had a different family emblem.

Sylvie was born into an aristocratic family and had received an aristocratic education since she was young.

With her eyesight, there was no way she would mistake the family emblem for something else.

Moreover, the Royal Academy of the Hiro Empire was not a place where ordinary people could register.

Among the examinees who registered every year, less than 10% of the examinees came from the commoner class.

These examinees were all talented students from all over the empire. The pride in their hearts did not allow them to wear the family crest of other families.

As for those examinees who came from noble families, they were even less so.

They were already nobles in the Empire and had their own family crest. There was no need for them to spend so much effort to pretend to be Hughes just to get face.

After guessing Hughes’ identity, Sylvie did not expose Hughes’ ridiculously simple self-introduction at the immediately.
