Chapter 27: 13 Magic Cores

“Hello, student. Please open your backpack and let us check it.”

The staff member at the door said with a smile.

“Oh? You need to check it even when you go out?”

Hughes said in surprise.

“Yes.”

The staff member nodded slightly and said, “All the items obtained from the catacombs will be graded in the computer system. At that time, if you submit a mission, you will have some evidence.”

“I see.”

Hughes suddenly understood.

The mission materials must be obtained in the catacombs.

The current detection method was to prevent students from buying mission materials in the outside world and then going to the mission building to submit the mission.

“Hughes, don’t tell me you don’t even have a magic core in your backpack?”

Seeing Hughes stop, Barzel said in a strange tone.

Alice and Derrick could not help but frown when they heard his sarcastic tone.

“How noisy.”

Barzel really was like a fly, not biting people but making people uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Hughes said in annoyance, “Although I don’t have many magic cores in my backpack, I’m still confident that I can surpass you by several times.”

After saying that, Hughes poured all the things in his backpack onto the testing table.

Crash!

Crystal-clear magic cores rolled out from his backpack.

Yellow, green, blue, and densely packed magic cores completely covered the testing table!

“You have so many magic cores?”

The testing staff said in surprise.

Even Alice and Derrick, who were standing beside him, opened their mouths slightly in surprise.

Although they believed in Hughes’s strength, the densely packed magic cores still gave them a fright.

Barzel and Derrick, who were behind them, were instantly stunned when they saw the densely packed magic cores on the examination platform.

How was this possible?

How could a young mage who had just entered the academy kill so many demon beasts on his first visit to the catacombs!?

“Hahaha! Look at their expressions. I’m dying of laughter.”

“I knew it. I was hoping for their expressions when they failed to act pretentiously. Now that I see it, it’s not in vain that I’ve waited for so long.”

“But then again, although I know that Hughes is powerful, the densely packed magic cores still scare me.”

“As expected of the ruthless person who was able to kill Ferri.”

…

How was that possible?

How could a young mage who had just entered the school kill so many demon beasts on his first visit to the catacombs!?

“Friends, I have a better idea.”

“Speak!”

“What if we tell him that Hughes has only been here for five days?”

“Yes, I think it’s possible!”

“Let’s do it, let’s do it, friends.”

…

“Hey, those two in front.”

“I’ll tell you a piece of good news for free. Hughes has only been here for five days.”

After the student told them about Hughes, Barzel and Derrick felt as if their worldview had been broken by Hughes.

They were shocked by Hughes.

“Four high-grade low-grade earth elemental magic cores, three high-grade middle-grade earth elemental magic cores, two high-grade low-grade wind elemental magic cores, one high-grade middle-grade wind elemental magic core, one high-grade low-grade dark elemental magic core, and two high-grade middle-grade dark elemental magic cores.

“Student, you have obtained a total of 13 magic cores this time. The type and level have already been logged into the computer system. If you submit a mission, you can directly bring these magic cores over.”

After the shock, the examiner counted the number and said.

These words caused a discussion among the mages who were not in the academy.

“F*ck, 13 magic cores? Who is that? Is It so powerful?”

“Didn’t someone say that it was done by a newcomer who had just entered the academy less than five days ago?”

“Woah, a newcomer who had just entered the academy less than five days ago, hunted so many demon beasts by himself.”

“F*ck, are all the newcomers so powerful these days?”

“I don’t know, did you notice that there are no contracted beasts around him?”

“What does this mean? I don’t need to say more!”

…

The mission areas in the catacombs were strictly divided according to their levels. After entering the elemental mage registration, one could only go to the mountainside or other places.

Therefore, there would not be situations where experts killed demon beasts in large numbers.

And under the same level, it was extremely difficult to kill demon beasts!

Even if it was a team of high-level advanced mages, they would only be able to kill seven or eight demon beasts in a day.

For someone like Hughes, who had killed more than ten demon beasts in one go and was a specially recruited student who had just arrived at the academy, it naturally made the surrounding ordinary mages feel extremely shocked!

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble you, teacher.”

Hughes smiled slightly. Without even looking at Barzel and Derrick, he put the magic core on the testing platform into his backpack.

“Hughes, your harvest isn’t bad!”

Alice’s beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, then she said, “Unlike him, I only have a few magic cores.”

After saying that, a pile of colorful magic cores appeared on the table.

It looked like there were at least seven or eight of them!

“A spatial pocket? As expected of a rich family.”

Seeing this scene, Hughes could not help but sigh.

“A student with a spatial pocket? It’s a little rare.”

The staff looked at Alice with a strange look and then began to count.

“High-level low-level Earth elemental magic core, five, high-level intermediate fire elemental magic core, five, a total of ten.”

“F*ck, what’s going on today? Why is there such a pervert here?”

“Compared to this, don’t you feel that the dimensional pocket on her body is more surprising? A dimensional pocket, the cheapest one costs ten million US dollars!”

“Facing a beauty, you actually care about the magic core and dimensional pocket? It’s too small, the layout is too small!”

“F*ck, she is indeed a great beauty and super strong!”

“Urk, these long legs, this chest, this appearance, why haven’t I seen such a great beauty before in the catacombs?”

“They seem to be together with that Hughes. Could it be that she is also a special student this year?”

“Yes, it’s very possible!”

…

Meanwhile, the students on the other side looked at those ordinary magicians, who looked like they had never seen the world before. They could not help but feel a sense of pride in their hearts.

However, they did not dare to flirt with Alice, because it was said that Ferri and Hughes had fought because of her.

And now, everyone had seen what happened to Ferri. Therefore, three days ago, the first-year students of the academy had spontaneously set a rule that they could not provoke Alice.
