Chapter 8: Breaking the news
Alex turned to look and saw Nora jogging over in her tight uniform, he was amazed of how agile she was despite her size.
"Must be one of the perks of having the wind element," Alex muttered to himself.
" Where are you going? Do you have anything to do later?" Nora asked after reaching Alex.
"Yes, I do have plans for later. Why do you ask?" Alex replied with a raised eyebrow.
"I know a good place not far from my home, they sell really tasty food as well as meat of magic beasts. They are doing a sales promotion and are selling magic meat at a very low price. I wanted to take you with me; they offer a special discount offer for couples!" Nora explained excitedly, she was almost drooling as she spoke.
Alex looked at the girl with a helpless look on his face, she had such a good talent but couldn't think of anything besides food. Who knew how strong she would have been if she worked as hard as the old Alex?
Indeed, good things come to people who are too lazy to utilize the opportunity.
"Are you indirectly asking me out on a date?" Alex replied teasingly. The drooling look on Nora's face immediately vanished and was replaced with a shy expression.
"I know I'm good looking and talented, plus my family is rich. But that shouldn't let you take advantage of me, we're friends but I'm way out of your league. Humph!" Nora said softly while twisting her hair with her fingers.
Alex almost burst out in laughter when he heard those words, his expression showed that he was holding back the urge to laugh.
'Who are you kidding? I'm one of the most handsome boys in the whole academy and you're the one taking advantage of me, you meatball!' Alex laughed inwardly but didn't say it out as he didn't want to kill the girl's fantasy.
