Chapter 83: Crafting District
They left the academy without any problems and strolled toward the city.
The streets were bustling as always, but today even more so.
Raelis couldn’t recall if there was some sort of special event happening, but the way Cael walked beside him seemed a little too relaxed.
They didn’t even know each other that well, and yet Cael was treating him like they’d been friends for years
Maybe I’m the weird one. I really should get some friends... Raelis thought with a sigh.
"Hey, since you’re first place in your class, did you get any duel requests yet?" Cael asked. "I’m second in my year, and I got around 10 already. It’s really getting annoying to deal with."
"Nope, not a single one," Raelis replied, tilting his head. "I wonder if it’s because they’re intimidated?"
"Don’t get ahead of yourself." Cael chuckled. "Where there are strong people, there are also idiots. Those idiots do whatever they can to prove to others that the strong people are not actually strong."
He puffed out his chest. "They haven’t even landed a hit on me once though."
"Hmm... if you say so," Raelis said dryly. "By the way, what’s the actual reason you called me out here?"
As much as he didn’t want to think about it, it was highly likely Cael knew about the bounty.
Because of that, he had likely decided to lure Raelis out of the academy to murder him in some back alley.
