"We can't. Rima and Belen must be waiting." Leticia reluctantly said.
She wanted to continue but knew that Rima and company would be waiting for them since they had to leave soon.
All the missions assigned to the disciples had a time limit. If they were late by even an hour when submitting the mission, they would be considered failing the mission.
"You are right." Max nodded. He also remembered that Anna said she would return a few hours later. She must have come back by now. Who knows what reaction will she have if she didn't find him there?
After that, they bathed together before leaving the room and headed toward Rima's room, where they were to meet.
…
Inside Rima's room…
Belen and Rima had just arrived from the trade peak and were waiting for Max and Leticia to return.
Knock! Knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door. Rima went and opened the door. Seeing Max and Leticia standing there, she smiled and invited them inside.
Belen and Rima were looking at Leticia, whose face was radiant, with envy.
After talking for a few minutes, Belen took out the things she had bought for Leticia and gave them to her.
"Unfortunately, we have to go to different places for the mission, or we could have left together." Rima looked at Max and sighed.
Leticia and Belen had gotten the same mission, so they would go together. Although Rima had a different mission, the direction she was going was relatively the same as theirs, so they could travel together before splitting up.
However, Max needed to go in the opposite direction. Therefore, he couldn't leave with them.
"It's okay. We will meet again soon." Max smiled.
"Mhm." Rima nodded. She then took out a red crystal bead from her spatial bag and gave it to him.
Max frowned as he reached out his hand to take it.
Before he could say anything, Belen said, "Although you didn't ask us to buy anything for you, we still bought this bead for you since we had a few extra Mana stones."
"What is it?" Max asked, looking at the small bead.
Leticia also looked at it curiously.
"It's an enchanted bead that contains a full-powered attack of a middle-stage three-star mage. If you encounter a situation where your life is being threatened, you can use it." Belen explained.
Sii
Both Max and Leticia took in a cold breath. A full-powered attack from a middle-stage three-star mage?
An attack at that level can easily kill everyone and everything below three-star and seriously injure or cripple those in the same realm, such as early-stage or middle-stage three-star mages.
He looked at Belen and Rima with a face full of gratitude. He knew they bought it after learning that he was being targeted, and given how powerful it was, it must have cost a lot of Mana stones, not a few.
Moreover, things like this weren't something that mages like them could get their hands on even if they had enough Mana stones to buy it.
However, he didn't ask how they got it and stored it in his inventory. He didn't even thank them since he knew they wouldn't want him to do that. So, he silently swore that he would care for them even more from now on.
…
Max returned to his dorm room after Belen and company left the academy.
Creak~
The door opened, and he walked inside to see Anna sitting on the bed with tears in her eyes.
Shua!
In an instant, he arrived beside her and asked with a face full of concern, "What happened, Anna? Why are you crying? Did someone bully you?"
Anna looked at him, and suddenly her teary face blossomed with a radiant smile, and she threw herself in his arms.
Max hugged her before asking again, "What happened? Tell me."
"Nothing happened." Anna shook her head and said, "I thought you left on the mission without waiting for me to return." She pouted her lips cutely.
Max had a weird expression and shook his head helplessly.
"Since you asked me to wait, is there something you want to tell me or something else?" He asked, changing the topic.
"Yes." Anna nodded and extended her palm toward him. "Give me your spatial bag first."
"Okay." Max gave it to her. Anna then transferred some things from her bag to his.
After she was done, she gave it back to him and said, "I've stored two weeks' worth of food and water in it for you to use."
"Oh? Okay." Max nodded, thinking, 'It seems I was overthinking after all.'
"Have you prepared everything? Pills etc.?" She asked again.
"Yes."
"Very good. However, you haven't told me about what your mission is yet." She said grumpily.
"It's nothing significant. I have to hunt down a few bandits in the sun feather town area." Max said casually.
Hearing that, Anna had a worried expression "Max, All these bandits are very tricky opponents. You have to be extremely careful when dealing with them. If you find yourself at a disadvantage, don't force yourself and retreat, okay."
"Okay. You don't have to worry about me." Max said before hugging her once again.
"By the way, what about your monthly mission? " He asked.
"The outer sector disciples are usually assigned missions after the inner sector disciples," Anna said.
After talking for a while, they left the room and headed towards the transport place where all the eagles of the academy were.
The disciples were allowed to use them to go down the mountain since almost no two-star or weaker disciple could climb down on their own because of the presence of many powerful beasts.
Max found a flying eagle who was about to leave to drop the disciples at the foot of the mountain and paid the required Mana stones.
Before boarding it, Max turned to Anna, gave her a few grade two healing and Mana replenishing pills, and said, "You too take care of yourself when on the mission. I'll be back in two weeks if nothing goes wrong."
"Mm, I will." Anna nodded as her eyes became wet.
"Come on up, everyone. We are ready to go." The eagle operator shouted.
Max gently wiped her eyes and caressed her cheeks. "I'm going now." Saying this, he climbed the eagle's back.
Whoosh!
The eagle flapped its large wings and took off.
"Two weeks, huh?" Anna murmured to herself as she watched him fly away.
