Chapter 35: Hughes’ Popularity

It was 8 am in the morning when two mages walked into the square in front of the mission building of the Lach Academy of Magic.

The mage on the right was about 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a tight black suit and a magic book was floating beside him.

The one on the left was slightly shorter than the one on the right and wore a red robe. In his right hand was a fiery red staff.

These two people were Hughes and Otis.

“Big brother Hughes, have you finished your work?”

Otis asked Hughes as he looked around curiously.

This was his first time in the catacombs. Naturally, he was very curious about everything around him.

“Yes, I’ve been spending time cultivating a spell recently. I only succeeded last night.”

Hughes nodded slightly.

The power experiment of the light tornado definitely could not be carried out in the training room of the villa.

Therefore, he chose to come to the catacombs to experiment and release it.

He also brought Otis along to learn about it.

After all, this was also what he had promised the other party.

“What kind of magic can actually make you spend a week to train and study!” Otis asked in surprise.

He knew that Hughes had the SS-grade light magic talent.

Under such circumstances, low-level magic was basically not difficult for Hughes.

What kind of magic could make Hughes spend an entire week studying? Otis thought.

“You’ll know in a while.”

Hughes smiled mysteriously and walked into the square area.

“Good morning, Hughes.”

“Big brother!”

“Good morning, Hughes!”

…

As soon as they entered the square, many students in the square greeted Hughes.

Hughes smiled and nodded.

“Who is he? Why do so many people know him?”

A new team of external magicians asked the captain, puzzled.

“His name is Hughes, and he is a special student this year.”

The captain looked at Hughes with envy. “He killed an elemental magician on the second day of school!

“Moreover, after he entered the catacombs for the first time, he single-handedly killed more than ten demon beasts, shocking the entire academy!

“If that was all though, his popularity would not have reached such a high level. However, in the following twenty days, he would come to the catacombs every day to hunt demon beasts!

“Every time he hunted demon beasts, there would not be a single time when there were less than ten of them.

“It is said that some time ago, among the magic cores that he obtained, there were actually quite a few large demon beast magic cores!”

“F*ck, is he that fierce? This is the first time I, a high-level intermediate mage, have entered the underground world, and he, a specially recruited student, is already able to kill demon beasts at will?”

The new team of external mages widened their eyes and looked at Hughes, who was not far away.

Now they finally knew why this person was so popular.

“Sigh, there is no such thing as equals. Let’s enter the underground world first. Today’s goal is to kill two demon beasts.”

The captain shook his head and then led his team of external magicians toward the direction of the catacombs.

This scene happened all over the square.

Otis, who had witnessed the popularity of Hughes, could not help but click his tongue.

“Big brother Hughes, aren’t you a little too fierce? There are actually so many seniors who know you.”

The seniors were fine, but there were some admiring and envious gazes. The fervent gazes of those seniors were what he was most envious of!

“I’m fine.”

Hughes said with a modest smile.

This kind of situation gradually appeared on the seventh day that he had continuously appeared in the catacombs.

Therefore, he had long been accustomed to the enthusiasm of these people.

After Hughes finished greeting the people in the square, he brought Otis to the mission building to randomly accept a credit mission, and then entered the catacombs.

“Big brother Hughes, are we going to the mountainside?”

On the mountain road, Otis asked with some doubt.

They had already walked for more than twenty minutes. They had already walked past the foot of the mountain and were walking towards the mountainside.

However, under the reminder of the staff of the mission building, he knew that it was the active area of the great demon beasts!

“Mm, I’m going to find an intermediate great demon beast to try out my new spell.” Hughes nodded and said.

To test out the power of the light tornado, the high the level of the demon beast he tests it on, the better.

If it was not for the fact that he was not confident that he could kill an advanced great demon beast, he would have gone straight to the mountaintop.

“F*ck, you actually want to find an intermediate-level demon beast to experiment with a new spell? And it’s an intermediate-level demon beast? Big brother Hughes, you’re too fierce!”

Otis revealed an expression of disbelief. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it. It’s just a matter of time. Big brother Hughes, I’ll take the risk with you.”

“You’re quite loyal, man!”

Hughes chuckled and released all his mana fluctuations. Then, he said, “Don’t worry. I’ll protect you. Even if it’s an intermediate monster, I’ll still kill It!”

“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck!”

Feeling the mana fluctuations that were dozens of times stronger than his, Otis was instantly dumbfounded. Then, he asked in a slightly trembling voice, “Big brother Hughes, have you advanced to become an elemental mage?”

“Yes, I advanced a few days ago that night.”

Hughes nodded and then withdrew his mana fluctuations.

“You’ve already entered the elemental mage realm a few days ago? F*ck, big brother Hughes, you’re too fierce!”

While Otis was excited, his admiration for Hughes grew even more.

As a specially recruited student, his talent was not just for show.

Through this period of meditation training, he advanced to become an intermediate mage a few days ago.

Originally, he was quite satisfied with his cultivation progress.

But now, looking at Hughes, who had advanced to become an elemental mage, he felt that he was the younger brother of someone great!

The closer he got to the mountainside, the more concentrated the roars of the demon beasts became.

“Roar!”

“Awooo!”
