"Three 1-Star Beasts, that is 30 Academy coins. Good job, keep working hard like that." A lazy voice was heard.
"T-Thank you, Senior Manya, me and my teammates worked hard to kill these beasts." a young boy, who looked around 20 years old laughed awkwardly as he scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah yeah, you did a good job," Senior Manya, however, didn't look very interested in the boy's story, actually, from the start to the end, she didn't even look at the boy, she just took the proof of the three 1-star Beasts the boy hunted and then gave him 30 silver coloured coins with a lazy look on her face.
Senior Manya was a Brown-Haired, Brown eyed girl, she had a well-structured nose, charry-like lips and a beautiful smile. Since she looked better than average, she had many people wooing her and this boy was one of them.
The boy didn't mind that at all.
This wasn't his first time being treated like that by Senior Manya and he knows that it won't be the last time either, however, he will keep trying no matter how long it takes.
Thinking about that, the boy's eyes shined brightly and he left the counter.
"Next…"
Senior Manya muttered in a lazy voice, actually, she hoped that there was no 'next' and she can finally take her rest, however, she wasn't that lucky.
"Hello Senior Manya, I am a new admission to the Royal Academy, here is my ID card, I do not know the procedures, so I will be counting on you to help me with this."
"Huh? New admission? Then why the fuck are you her-" Senior Manya scowled and raised her eyebrow. However, just when she raised her head to give her peace of mind to the man who said all this, she froze.
"Is there something wrong, Senior Manya? Am I at the wrong place? I apologize if that is the case." Nux muttered with a gentle smile on his face.
"O-Oh. Y-You are not wrong at all. You might be wrong by a few counters, however, it's not like I cannot help you. As your future senior, it is my duty to help my juniors." Senior Manya replied with a small smile.
"As I expected." Nux nodded to himself and then he continued,
"The moment I entered the office and saw your face, I knew you were a gentle, beautiful and polite person, and I wasn't wrong." Nux continued to nod to himself and Senior Manya's smile widened a little.
"You have good eyes."
"Senior Manya, I am new here. I request you to will help me with these procedures." Nux muttered again.
"Of course, that's why I am here for, after all, let's not waste any more time. Show me your ID card."
Senior Manya then took Nux's ID card and then started reading,
"Hm Hm, an 18-year-old Initial Advance Stage Cultivator, as I expected, you are indeed a talented person.
So let's see, Prodigy Class, Second Decade. Hm hm,"
Senior Manya then started writing the details on the paper.
Senior Manya's speed was a little slow since she wasn't used to this work.
That wasn't the only reason why she was slow though,
"Oi Oi, you newbie, get the fuck off, go to counter number 4 if you are here to apply for the Academy. Don't disturb Senior Manya."
The student who was standing behind Nux muttered.
Nux turned around, he then noticed that this man was just a Beginner Stage Cultivator and turned around.
Yes, he simply ignored the student as if he was a bug.
The student did not like this attitude at all.
"Oi! You hear me!? Who do yo-"
"Shut the fuck up!"
Suddenly, Senior Manya, who was busy with her work shouted in rage.
"Who do you think you are to shout in front of my Counter!? How many beasts did you kill!?"
"F-Four 1-Star B-Beasts…" The man replied.
"Huh? Four 1-star Beasts? And you have the gall to act so recklessly? Who gave you the courage after this pathetic display of skills?" Senior Manya questioned with a disdainful look on her face.
"P-Pathetic Display?" The boy opened her mouth in shock.
'Didn't you just compliment that boy who killed 3 beasts? Our cultivation is the same, then why do I get the harsh treatment?'
The student was about to cry.
Senior Manya and Nux didn't care what was going through that boy's mind, Senior Manya continued her work, as for Nux, he just looked at what Senior Manya was writing since he had nothing better to do.
"Ah, it's done, you are now a student of the Royal Academy,"
Senior Manya muttered with a smile as she stamped on Nux's ID card and passed it to him.
"You can start the class from today."
"Thank you for your trouble, Senior Manya." Nux smiled.
"You do not have to be so polite, it is my duty after all." Senior Manya smiled back. Her impression of Nux was getting better and better.
"Umm… Senior Manya…" Suddenly, Nux muttered with a hesitant look on his face.
"Hmm? What is it?"
"Senior Manya, as you know, I am new to this Academy, I do not know anything about it. Out of all the people I met here, you are the only one who looks gentle, kind and someone who would be willing to help others when they need it.
Would you mind giving me a tour of the whole academy? It would be a great help."
Nux questioned with an awkward smile.
"You bastard! Do you know who you are talk-" The student standing behind Nux wanted to interrupt, however, he turned silent when he saw Senior Manya glaring at him.
"Of course, I can, however, I am at duty for the next 2 hours. How about you come back 2 hours later?"
"Umm… I do not know if our timings would match or not, how about I stay here with you, we can talk while you deal with these busybodie- students. How does that sound?" Nux proposed.
The faces of students standing behind him twitched, however, they didn't say anything.
They needed to control themselves right now…
This hateful bastard, they will deal with him later.
"Mhm, that sounds good. I would like to know you better as well, here, come on in,"
