Chapter 204 Reunion... Part-1.
A Large Mansion near the Oaklum Alliance Branch.
Morning, 9:00 A.M.
"Uh, is this really the place…" (Link)
A strange look appeared on Link's face as he looked at the extravagant mansion, although it did look good and big enough in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of the super-rich Link, this mansion looked exceptionally weird.
"Who even hired this painter… all the paints on the walls are done so badly and there's no artistic sense…" (Link)
At Link's words, Rio just shrugged his shoulders and said:
"I can't see anything wrong with it, isn't the mansion looking extravagant enough with all those shiny marbles?" (Rio)
"Don't tell me you also don't have any artistic sense… come to think of it, your choice of clothes is also very lazy too… you might not have any fashion sense either…" (Link)
"Who even cares about such trivial things, all I care about is 'can I swing my sword comfortably in those clothes or not?'…" (Rio)
Rio is a very ordinary guy, in his previous life he didn't have a girlfriend either, so he never really learned about colors and fashion sense at all.
On the other side, Link is totally different.
He has been taught by the best teachers of the human empire since his childhood days.
He took lessons on various things like Etiquette, politics, geography, negotiation methods, piano, singing, cooking, etc. (Yes, Link can sing, and he can play the piano too… he learned them from top-level masters…)
It may sound weird but Link has even learned how to do housework. (Yes, literally! This guy can cook, clean, and protect!… he has a crazy amount of everyday life skills! This guy is the perfect husbando material!!)
Rio is only ahead of Link in maximum talent potential, but in every other field, Link is leagues ahead of Rio.
As an ordinary guy from an ordinary household, Rio doesn't have even one percent of the total auxiliary skills that Link possesses.
If not for the fact that Rio knew beforehand that he was the villain, he would have mistaken Link as the main protagonist of this world.
…
Just when Rio and Link were talking about the mansion, the main door of the mansion opened and a butler came out.
The butler glanced at the group of students and guided them all inside. (Yes, all eight of them are present here today, including Fade and Kira.)
(By the way, Fade and Kira were not invited by Zach to the yacht party, thus they escaped the beating from Alverto…)
Everyone walked in while following behind the butler.
They glanced at the various artifacts that were put on display as they all walked to the inner area of the mansion.
The mansion was huge from the insides, the spatial manipulation devices were being used to increase the area inside the mansion. Thus it took around five minutes of walking for them to reach the main room.
The butler stood aside knocked on the door and lightly said.
"Master Jin, I have brought the students to you…" (Butler)
A familiar voice came from inside, after hearing the knock on the door.
"Let them in…" (Jin)
The butler opened the door and stood aside, he signaled the students to walk inside.
Without much hesitation, everyone walked in.
What came into view was a room that was extremely well decorated. A king-sized bed lay in the middle of the large room and various luxurious-looking furniture were put in place.
But that was not the most surprising thing.
The biggest surprise was the presence of the person who was sitting on the bed.
A woman that they all were familiar with, was sitting on the Bed.
With her back leaning against the headboard of the large bed, a gentle smile hung over her face.
"It's been a while since I last saw you all, you all seem to have grown up a lot...." (Anna)
Although they all knew beforehand that they were going to meet her today, seeing her in person still shocked all of them.
She looked nothing like how they all remembered her.
When in the academy, she always had a cold and stressed look on her face, but today, she seemed so relaxed and happy, her aura was so relaxed that it was quite hard to believe that this was the same Anna they knew about.
"What? Are you all so shocked to see me-" (Anna)
Before Anna could say anything, Riya directly went ahead and hugged her with slight tears in her eyes.
"You have recovered! I thought I would never get to see you again!" (Riya)
At Riya's sobbing, Anna slowly rubbed Riya's head to comfort her with a helpless smile on her face.
"Er, well… it was quite a near-death injury so, yeah it must have made you all worried… I was such a failure as a teacher…" (Anna)
Lia shook her head as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"No, don't put yourself down like that, if not for your protection, we would have all suffered a lot in that final exam dungeon, we are all grateful to you…" (Lia)
Everyone else also nodded their heads at Lia's words, they all placed the souvenirs that they all had brought on a nearby table.
Except for Rio, Ellie, and Riya, all of the others brought various expensive healing items and get-well gifts.
(Rio is not rich enough to buy expensive recovery items to gift so he ended up giving fruits, Ellie chose to bring Liam's homemade food and Riya simply chose candies for a gift…)
Jin who was sitting on a nearby chair smiled as he looked at Anna who seemed to be enjoying the company of her former students.
"You seem quite happy now? Even though you rarely ever smile at me… this is blatant favoritism, you know…" (Jin)
At Jin's question, all the students just rolled their eyes and pretended to not hear him at all.
"I have been waiting to see them for so many months you know… they all have grown up so much in just a few months… sigh~" (Anna)
"Hehe, we went on a lot of adventures, and we fought many battles! In the past month… Even my healing skills have improved…" (Riya)
Talking about healing skills, Riya suddenly went silent and stopped talking further.
Anna glanced at Rio and Link, she smiled slightly and said in a surprised tone.
"To think that you two will break through A-rank so fast… you two really have quite an amazing talent, your future achievements might be even better than me…" (Anna)
(She didn't mention Liam, because she was not his teacher, Liam was in a different class when she was the teacher…)
"Truthfully, speaking, if I was still your teacher, I would have no idea about what to teach you two… you both are so excellent that I have nothing left to teach you…" (Anna)
"Your current class teacher must be having quite a headache keeping track of you two…" (Anna)
"Yeah, he says the same thing sometimes, he said that it's quite difficult to teach geniuses…" (Link)
Link scratched the back of his neck in embarrassment as he didn't expect the usually cold-tempered Anna to suddenly praise him out of nowhere.
Rio skillfully changed the topic at that point.
"By the way, how is your health now?" (Rio)
Anna suddenly glanced at Jin and said with a stern tone.
"I have recovered a lot these days, but due to someone's annoying pestering voice, I have been having headaches every day…" (Anna)
"if my mana circuit was not damaged, I would have already kicked that annoying 'someone' out already…" (Anna)
At Anna's glare, Jin started to pretend that he didn't hear anything at all, he glanced at the sky outside the window.
"Ahem, the weather is good today…" (Jin)
Anna shook her head and replied.
"It will take a few more months, then I will be able to recover my mana circuit… I will be at my peak again once I recover fully…" (Anna)
"Although I doubt I will be able to continue serving as an S-
ranker anymore…" (Anna)
At Anna's words, Jin suddenly said:
"I will give you the permission as an SS-ranker, who dares to stop you from working with my permission… if someone said anything bad about you, I will beat the sh*t outta them!" (Jin)
Listening to Jin's words, Anna's face reddened a bit, she shook her head.
"Hmph, idiot… it's not about permissions…" (Anna)
"It's just that my reputation as a fraud teacher has already taken place in the minds of all the citizens, and I have no interest in wasting years upon years just to clear this reputation…" (Anna)
(People think she is incompetent and a fraud, as she was not able to protect the students…)
"Besides, once I recover, I have something else to do…" (Anna)
"Hmm, what else do you need to do?" (Jin)
Anna's face became a bit redder as Jin questioned her motives.
"N-nothing, i-I am not telling you…" (Anna)
"W-what? Why!? Tell me!" (Jin)
"Oh, wait your face is getting red, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Hmm, you wanna go to the restroom?" (Jin)
Before Jin could talk further, Anna threw a pillow at his face.
"Idiot…" (Anna)
