The day after the magic test, since every class was still in the middle of their magic tests, classes like theirs that had already finished could leave directly.
After all, this semester's classes were already over, and staying at school really left them with nothing to do.
So Dan Feng and Roxy decided to head to the adventurers' guild in Sharia to pick up some quests.
Although their savings hadn't been spent much, no one would ever complain about having too much money.
Moreover, taking quests could help raise their adventurer ranks and train their combat abilities. For Dan Feng and Roxy, who had nothing else to do, it was all benefits and no drawbacks.
In the morning, Dan Feng got up. He habitually glanced out the window and saw some people carrying luggage heading toward the school gate.
Dan Feng guessed they were either going off to become adventurers or heading home to visit their parents.
Then he quickly washed up, changed clothes, and went downstairs to find Roxy.
As usual, Roxy was already waiting for him downstairs at the boys' dormitory.
Nowadays, Roxy was used to waking up early because sometimes she had to attend classes, while Dan Feng spent every day holed up in the library, increasing his knowledge reserves and trying to fill his progress bar.
"Good morning." After seeing Roxy, Dan Feng greeted her and proactively took the breakfast she had prepared for him.
Mm! Sure enough, it's a sandwich again. Sandwiches are simply the most suitable thing for breakfast!
Dan Feng thought this to himself.
"Morning! Dan Feng!" Roxy greeted him with a big smile.
Dan Feng nodded and started eating.
Roxy's sandwich-making skills had gotten better and better; she no longer burned the bread. However, lately Roxy liked adding some weird things, like fruit, for example.
But today's was pretty normal—it was the most classic sandwich.
In just a few bites, Dan Feng finished the sandwich.
Seeing Dan Feng finish the sandwich she made, Roxy also showed a happy smile.
No one wouldn't smile after seeing the person they like eat something they made, and Roxy was no exception.
"Today we're going to take an S-rank quest. I think it won't be long before we can promote to S-rank adventurers," Dan Feng said seriously to Roxy.
Dan Feng and Roxy had already taken several S-rank quests from the Ranoa Kingdom; they were basically very intense ones that no adventurer party dared to accept alone.
"We've already taken quite a few S-rank quests; we're very familiar with them now," Roxy replied. Then she took her staff out from the scroll she was holding.
This scroll was currently hanging on her body. Since it wasn't very big, hanging it was quite easy.
Soon, Dan Feng and Roxy walked into the adventurers' guild in Sharia.
The adventurers' guild right now was quite crowded. The reason was that some students on break had nothing to do and came to become adventurers for training.
So most of the people inside were students from Ranoa Magic Academy, looking very inexperienced.
Some were grouping up over there to take quests. After all, their adventurer ranks weren't high, so to take quests that could train them, they could only form temporary parties.
However, most were teaming up with fellow students from their own school. No veteran adventurers were willing to take a few greenhorn burdens along to complete quests—unless you were a slightly good-looking woman.
Dan Feng and Roxy helplessly watched the scene before them. The huge adventurers' guild was packed with people, leaving not even a bit of extra space.
"So many people... What do we do, Dan Feng? We can't squeeze in like this," Roxy said, looking at the pile of people taller than her crowding in front. She was afraid that as soon as she squeezed in, she'd get kicked out.
Dan Feng looked at these people desperately squeezing forward. Their direction was toward the front desk, so they were most likely going to register as F-rank adventurers.
Meanwhile, there were noticeably fewer people at the quest board on the left.
So Dan Feng picked Roxy up in a princess carry.
"Eh? Eh?" Feeling Dan Feng's hands on her calves, Roxy's cheeks began to heat up, showing a shy expression.
For someone like Dan Feng, who wasn't very proactive about romance, this was already quite rare.
Her hands immediately wrapped around Dan Feng's neck, which gave her some sense of security while suspended in the air.
She didn't know why Dan Feng was carrying her, but since Dan Feng had done it, he naturally had his reasons and deeper intentions. She just needed to calm down and enjoy Dan Feng's warm embrace.
After all, though Dan Feng's expression looked cold, his body was warm.
Leaning against Dan Feng's chest, Roxy felt very warm and at ease.
After the people crowding in front of the quest board had squeezed in, Dan Feng carried Roxy and instantly arrived in front of the quest board.
When Dan Feng suddenly carried her to the quest board, Roxy sighed, "Dan Feng's speed is really too fast."
After all, just as the people in front took one step and those behind hadn't reacted yet, he passed through instantly.
Then Dan Feng and Roxy started looking for quests on the quest board.
Because Roxy wasn't tall, Dan Feng carried her while searching for the S-rank quests above.
It had to be said that the quests here were already overlapping each other, which showed that there were so many quests they were almost overflowing.
But at that moment, Kurashi, who was in line to register as an adventurer, immediately noticed Dan Feng and Roxy because their two hair colors were just too rare.
She watched Dan Feng and Roxy selecting quests, then thought back to yesterday's events. That jealous feeling in her heart flared up secretly again, so she came up with the idea of having her backer teach them a lesson.
Although Dan Feng's magic yesterday was astonishing, she thought it was just a paper tiger. She believed it was just an intermediate water magic, Torrent, with increased mana output. Even if it shattered the target, the damage definitely wasn't that high. And if she hadn't needed to release multiple attack magics, concentrating all her mana on one magic should have easily shattered the target too.
Anyway, she thought Dan Feng had used most of his mana to create that Torrent, and she could do it too, so this group of upper-rank magicians could definitely beat him.
So she turned her head and showed a pitiful expression toward the group of people waiting for her nearby.
This group consisted of people from the Ranoa Magic Academy student council; most were already fourth- or fifth-year students, and their magic had reached upper-level standards.
"What's wrong, Kurashi?" Her backer asked in confusion upon seeing Kurashi's pitiful look.
Then Kurashi exaggeratedly recounted yesterday's events to him—things like using water magic to scare her, mocking her with his strength, and so on. After listening, the man showed an angry expression.
"Who is it? We'll, your senior brothers, help you get revenge." The man patted his chest, then declared confidently.
"It's those two with the rare hair colors over there." Kurashi pointed at Dan Feng and Roxy, who were selecting quests from behind the crowd.
"Big brother senpai, just teach them a little lesson, okay?"
"Don't worry, we'll go intimidate them first. After all, we're still in the adventurers' guild right now—you can't cause trouble here, or you'll get fined." The man said gently to Kurashi, then signaled his brothers behind him to follow.
"Roxy, take a look at this one—it's another subjugation of snowfield ice worms. I think we can take this." Dan Feng said calmly, then set Roxy down, preparing to take the quest sheet directly.
However, a hand heavily slapped the sheet onto the quest board. With a 'rip' sound, the sheet was torn apart just like that.
Seeing this, Dan Feng's gaze instantly turned cold. He looked toward the owner of that hand, then said coldly, "What do you mean by this?"
"Sorry, but this quest—our adventurer party is taking it." The man said arrogantly, his tone alone making people feel like punching him.
(PS: A Torrent with increased mana output is roughly the size of a rocket; the first time Rudy used it was about that thick of a water column.)
