“Berserker?”

Hughes asked curiously.

“It’s nothing, you’ll know when you go to school.”

Kate stretched lazily and continued, “Hughes, before you officially report, I’ll be considered your teacher. So if you have any questions, you can contact me.”

As Kate spoke, she gestured with her hand to make a phone call. Then she continued. “I still have to go to other places to recruit students. Then I’ll see you in San Pedro.”

“See you in San Pedro!” Hughes waved his hand and said.

For Hughes, the college entrance examination credits were meaningless to him.

In the meantime, Hughes had some preliminary plans in his mind.

“Hughes, your mage card has been processed.”

After Kate left, principal Nicholas said.

Then, a card about the same size as an ID card was handed to Hughes.

On it was Hughes’s magic level and his mage aura.

In this world, a mage card was equivalent to an ID card.

And with this card, Hughes had the qualifications to buy a magic staff and magic books, which only mages could buy.

“Thank you, Principal Nicholas.”

Hughes took the mage card in front of him and said with a smile.

This Nicholas was very good at doing things, and he was very efficient.

It saved Hughes a lot of trouble.

“Also, regarding your honor, the higher-ups have already approved it.”

“The higher-ups have decided to appoint you as the honorary principal of St. Peter’s High School.”

Nichols continued talking after seeing Hughes take the Mage Card.

“What?”

Hughes was shocked by Nicholas’ sudden words.

Although it was just an empty title, this title a little too generous.

“There’s nothing bad about it. With your talent, Hughes, you deserve this honor.

“Moreover, I believe that in the future you will definitely be the pride of St. Peter’s high school and even the entire Kyrenia.”

Nicholas said these words from the bottom of his heart.

When he heard Nicholas’ heartfelt words, he no longer rejected them.

Because if he rejected it like this, it would seem a little pretentious.

“Since that’s the case, then thank you, Principal Nicholas.”

“Oh right, I wonder if principal Nicholas has any illustrations of wild demon beasts here.”

Since he was going out of the city, he naturally had to be fully prepared.

Although the internet in this world was much more developed than in his previous life, there was still much information that ordinary people were not qualified to understand.

Hughes had searched for a long time last night but still could not find any information about this.

“What do you want this for?”

“Don’t tell me you want to go out of the city!”

Nicholas raised his eyebrows and asked Hughes suspiciously.

“No, I just want to understand it in advance so that I can be prepared in the future.”

Hughes touched his nose and said.

“Yes, that’s right. Wait a moment.”

Nicholas opened a drawer and took out a handbook, then handed it to Hughes.

“Hughes, don’t show this to others.

“Also, don’t go out into the wild alone.

“The environment in the wild is very dangerous. If you get injured, it’ll be troublesome.

“If you want to go out into the wild, I’ll find a companion for you.

“If it really can’t be done, you can tell me, and I’ll bring you out.

“Moreover, although the monsters in the wild around our area aren’t very strong, you still can’t kill them at your current level.”

Nicholas gave another reminder to Hughes.

However, Hughes clearly did not take Nicholas’ words to heart.

This was because the main reason for leaving the city this time was to test his two spells. Therefore, Hughes would definitely not find someone to accompany him.

If he brought someone out, not only would he not be able to achieve his goal, even his secret of having dark magic might be exposed.

…

At the city gate of Kyrenia.

The warm afternoon sun made people feel comfortable. Although the sunlight was still somewhat dazzling, there were still many people at the city gate.

The most eye-catching part was the rows of dark green military camps.

Over the years, almost all the demon beasts in the wild had been eliminated.

There were basically only some low-level demon beasts left outside for some newly advanced low-level mages to practice with.

Occasionally, a few mid-level demon beasts could be seen wandering in the wilderness.

These mid-level demon beasts were especially left behind by the higher-ups. It could also be considered as a kind of alternative training.

And these troops were only guarding the place where the low-level demon beasts were.

Because if the mid-level demon beasts were used as training, then there would definitely be no one to rescue them.

It was not that the higher-ups said that they were heartless and cold-blooded. After all, whether or not you go for training was your own choice, and it had nothing to do with others.

Very soon, it was Hughes’s turn to step forward.

A soldier wearing a thermal weapon reached out to stop Hughes and said, “Hello, please show me your mage certificate.” 

Hughes took out his mage certificate from his pocket and handed it to the soldier.

The soldier placed the mage certificate on a device. Then, the device flashed with blue light and showed that it had passed the verification.

Then, the soldier took the mage card and handed it to Hughes. He turned slightly and said, “Thank you for your cooperation. You can go in now.”

Seeing Hughes walk past him, the soldier could not help but take another look.

Because Hughes was really young.

Generally speaking, most of the people who went out into the wild were in their twenties, and there were even some in their thirties or forties.

However, he rarely saw people of Hughes’ age.

That was why he could not help but take a few more glances.

Very soon, Hughes left the city gates and arrived in the wild.

“I’m finally outside!”

After leaving the low-level demon beast protection zone, Hughes took a deep breath.

After all, this was the first time he had left the city and entered the wild in more than ten years.

However, the desolation that he remembered did not appear.

Instead, it was because it was June that the ecological environment in the wilderness had become lush and leafy.

However, the faint roars and cries of the beasts indicated that this place was not peaceful.

The area that Hughes was currently in was located in the middle of the protection zone for low-level demon beasts and the depths of the wilderness.

According to the map in Hughes’s hands, he would be able to enter the depths of the wilderness if he traveled five kilometers north.

Most of the demon beasts here were low-level demon beasts that were about to evolve into mid-level demon beasts.

Hughes followed the directions on the map and headed north. However, he had not gone far when Hughes’s first battle began.

“This is… a shovel-head rabbit?”
