Chapter 217: Go Home at Last! with Half Reward!

"Well! I think it is time for us to leave as well. There is someone waiting for me to go feed her ~ "

"Do you mean your lonely one ~ ?"

"I am referring to Xuexue and the others!"

Dianeira is a bit exasperating!

"Do not be in such a hurry little Vremya~ hehe, you cannot leave without your rewards for a successful mission. You have even earned a bonus ~ "

I stopped looking angrily at Dianeira to look at the school director Roselle with a pair of rolled eyes.

What is with that -little- before my name!

But Professor Roselle’s words effectively eliminated my negative feelings. Rewards!

So much work and effort just for this moment!

There are so many things I want to do!!

And buy!!!

Professor Roselle calmly pointed to a dark wooden chest that was quietly placed to one side and that I had not seen.

Magen and the others trotted to the chest and opened it.

"Vrem! This one is for you." Magen took out a wooden box from the chest and handed it to me. When I opened it there was a blue crystal card as well as potions.

The others also had their own boxes of potions and blue crystal cards. Apart from these boxes there were also other boxes and packages containing metals, crystals and about seven white pearls that shone with what seemed like their own lights.

"Ehh... And the bonus?" I asked puzzled.

"There it is, each one has one hundred and fifty blue mana crystal coins ~ "

Listening to Professor Roselle’s voice, I looked at the blue card in my hand and with mana I felt the amount deposited in the card. Some numerical runes appeared and they were exactly one hundred and fifty coins...

According to what I remembered, the final reward is one thousand blue coins apart from potions and materials. If each member of the team gets one hundred and fifty and there are seven of us then this gives one thousand fifty blue mana crystal coins...

One hundred and fifty times seven is seven hundred and half of that is three hundred and fifty plus the previous seven hundred equals one thousand fifty.

One thousand fifty blue coins, fifty mana coins more than the original reward...

I put the reward box in my name into my backpack and crossed my arms looking toward Professor Roselle, school director of the Royal Academy...

Fifty coins you call that a bonus!?

I transmitted with my gaze to Professor Roselle.

But Professor Roselle only looked toward another place with a professional smile without crossing her gaze with mine...

"Mr. Corinth, do not forget that half of the reward has to be given to me, I, your mission guardian." Then, Professor Rudelle said calmly after drinking a sip of tea.

"It has to be a joke!"

-------

"Stupid witch and old, old witch! YOO!" Magen, with a bump on her head said and complained beside me.

We had already recovered what was left of our rewards and we were walking toward the exit of the academy.

"But in the end it is a good reward, I had never had so much money in my backpack!"

Apart from Kara and Tikshna who seemed calm after the fifty percent tax robbery, Destan seemed very happy and cheerful for his earnings.

"Here, take the potions and my part of the materials. Destan you should get yourself a spatial backpack, that backpack you carry already hurts me to see you carrying it..." after half of the objects in the box had disappeared I handed the box to Destan.

Although Destan wanted to refuse but since they are things that are not useful to me they would only be wasted with me, it is better to leave them to him so he can use them.

A member of my group has to be strong.

I only kept the seventy-five blue mana coins. The other materials and potions are not really necessary.

I was practically raised with legendary potions since I was born so these potions that help you cultivate together with your Familiar like the other potions and materials are not useful to me.

Besides, it seems that Destan is at the bottleneck to evolve his blade-pistol weapon.

What was the next stage of evolutión? It seems it was something like Shear something (?) Tiger (?)... I do not remember.

In the FF8 video game you had to gather the materials and then go to a store to have your weapon reforged with the new materials or something like that.

Of course in the video game you hardly feel it but if it were a real world the poor MC had to travel to many places to gather the materials.

And Destan has been struggling to gather his materials to evolve his blade-pistol. Although I still do not know how his smartphone can evolve.

When we arrived at the entrance of the academy, we could see a lot of students surrounding something and murmuring with excitement while pointing with their hands.

It seemed they wanted to approach the something but could not gather the courage to do so.

Of course, it seems that everyone is afraid of a large giant white and furry cat, although this large giant white and furry cat is now lying on the grass with a lazy attitude.

"Xuexue!~ we are going home ~~ !" I shouted and in an instant I appeared next to Xuexue hugging her around the neck.

"Raw~~ " Xuexue only growled softly.

"Does Vrem want us to accompany you home ?" Magen and the others asked.

"It is not necessary. I can go home alone ~ " I got on Xuexue and mounted her on the back holding onto her fur.

For Xuexue neither my weight nor my grip on her fur bothers her. For her I am practically insignificant.

It seems she sees me as a flea...

*PAM* I gave Xuexue a strong slap on the head.

’Do not think like that about me. I, Your master!’

I transmitted to Xuexue through our connection.

Under the noise of amazement from the students around us Xuexue stood up.

Having my own epic mount feels great ~

When I told Xuexue to walk toward home, for a moment I felt my heart pounding.

Then I looked back, toward the girls and toward the academy wondering if my older sister is now in the student council room.

This is the first time I go out alone. Going from the Royal Academy to my house alone for the first time gives me a feeling of nervousness.

After so many years in which I have never, but never been alone it makes me feel strange.

For a moment I am thinking of going to the student council room to see Vasi, but I should not. I must go alone.

None of my companions live in my direction, each one goes in different directions, with Magen and Xifia leaving together toward the northwest side of the city.

I think Tikshna lives to the south and Kara to the east. And Destan must live in the departments given to students of the Athenahotep family that I do not know where it is nor the main house of the Athenahotep family...

Dianeira lives to the south of the academy. It seems that very few families live near the center or the royal castle.

The distribution of noble family lands is always to surround the royal castle as lines of defense with the strongest families in the outer lines and the weakest in the center.

So all my companions, being children of high-level noble families live in the outermost ring on the outskirts of the city.

My own house is the outermost house in the southwest corner of the city for this reason. With the main entrance of my house facing outward and the city limit river at the back of my house.

It can be said that my house is the primary line of defense. Although of course, no one would dare to invade from that place. The aliens demonstrated it by entering from the north and underground. Even the flying aliens came from the east direction and no unit came from the southwest.

"Come on, Goodbye!" giving a soft "let’s go" to Xuexue and a strong goodbye to the girls. I guided Xuexue toward home.

Waving my hands toward the girls in farewell Xuexue took the main street south to then reach the main road, avenue, ring that goes down surrounding the city to the right from my point of view.

The road is wide and paved with stones, there is no cement in this world but the construction is easy and solid thanks to magic.

Although the street is paved with stones the grass grows between the joined stones and none affects the mobility of the carts or the animals that serve as mounts.

With Xuexue advancing in the outermost lane to leave the central lane for those magical motorized vehicles, Xuexue and I go at a good speed running on the avenue among carts pulled by animals and others that are also mounted on horses and other mounts.

Of course, I had to use a little magic and make Xuexue lower her aggressiveness and presence a bit or all the other animals would have been paralyzed creating chaos on the road...
