Chapter 196: Walking to the University (1/2)

Alex logged out from the game at around half past 9 in the morning. Any longer and he would be very late for school.

”Oh no,” he said as he hurriedly ran out of the room to go have his lunch before leaving for his classes. He didn't know how long exactly it would take him to reach his university, so he had to hurry up today.

He reached the kitchen and found Hannah halfway through finishing her meal.

”What took you so long? Were you asleep till now?” she asked.

”Uh no. I had a promotion exam in the game and was late because of it,” he said.

”Oh, promotion exam? From what to what?” she asked.

”Uh, from an outer sect disciple to a Core Disciple one,” he said.

”You passed it?” she asked.

”Yes.”

”Congrats. Now get plate yourself the dishes and hurry up,” Hannah said as she continued her food. Alex put some food for himself and ate it as fast as he could. Hannah however still had a quarter of the food left.

”Why are you eating so slowly, sister?” he asked.

”Why should I eat fast? It's not like I have school or anything,” she said.

”Huh?” Alex was surprised. ”Your school days are over?” he asked.

”Nah. It's only from Tuesday to Friday. I have Saturday to Monday free,” she said.

”Oh,” Alex said in understanding and ate his food. Slowly he started getting anxious about how to go to the university now that he was alone. 'I don't even know the way. Do I have to use my phone?' he wondered.

'Sigh, whatever. I will just use the phone map.' He quickly finished the meal and wore a fresh pair of clothes for his university class. He put his new laptop into his backpack and opened up the map app on his phone and walked out.

He took an extra key of the apartment and put it in his bag. ”I'm leaving,” he said and walked out of the house. He got on the elevator and went all the way down. He then looked at his phone for which direction to leave in.

'Left from here,' he thought as he looked at the map.

He had just walked out of the building when he saw someone in front of him. There were 2 people there, but his eyes only saw a single person. It took him a second more to notice the other one.

”Emily? Sarah?” he was surprised.

”Good morning Alex,” Sarah said with a smile.

”Go— Good Morning,” Emily said in a shy voice with a blush on her face.

Alex reciprocated their greetings asked them what they were doing in front of the building he lived in.
