Chapter 155 NPC Tess Reporting In

After five more battles, my ranking in the arena was at 1350, significantly improving from my previous rank.

I was tired from fighting since I was done fighting for the day. So I went out of the arena and walked around the place.

"Charlie!" I heard a cute yet childish familiar voice calling me from a distance.

Looking at who it was, it was my tiny fairy friend Tess. Checking her out, during the three months I had been away, nothing about her physically had changed.

"It's been a while, Tess." I greeted her, surprised by her sudden call out.

"How have you been?" It has been three months. I asked how she did in the three months.

"Great! After a month before you left, I earned my privilege of being an S Class student again." That was good news. I couldn't be happier for her. We would see each other more during class.

"Congrats!" I gave her genuine praise.

"I heard that you already got selected for the World Youth Tournament! Is that true?" How did that get leaked?

"Yes, I did. How did you know?" I haven't heard anything about it, but that was probably me not going out enough to hear about it.

"Two slots for our year have already been taken. It would only be reasonable for you and Serena to get a spot." That made a lot of sense, but I didn't think it would come out of Tess's mouth.

"This year seems pretty hectic. I heard many that the first years were pretty talented. We had two exceptional exchange students." Tess sighed, mentioning them. At this point, I couldn't help but think of Tess as an NPC.

All the information she gave me was helpful. But, while I could have learned them later, it was better to learn all these things now.

I was going to ask Serena about the exchange students, but she was out. I would ask her for the additional news that Tess would miss.

"How were they? Seeing how you classify them as exceptional, they must be pretty good." So what was this, some golden-era bs of some sort?

Well, it wouldn't have mattered. As time passed, my strength would continue to leave everyone in my generation further and further.

The only person that was remotely scary in terms of talent would be my newborn sister. My family didn't uncover my talent for absorbing more mana, so I couldn't tell precisely how talented my sister was.

"One from Grandelle, her name is Bianca, and she was pretty arrogant." Tess sounded a bit angry, saying her name.

Grandelle was a country home to winged humans. But, even if they had wings, they couldn't fly unless they were in the fourth rank.

Winged humans are physically weak humans that can fly. I pity a winged human who gained the magic to fly, making their functions pretty useless.

"Did she do something to make you angry?" She had an evident distaste when mentioning the name Bianca.

"Most of our classmates hated her. She didn't stop running her mouth and kept insulting everyone she had beaten. Even if she is a bad person, she was a bit weaker than Serena." Even if she had an apparent distaste for her, she still spoke of her strength.

"Then there was Nelly from Everest." Unlike Bianca, the name Nelly didn't have any negative emotions toward her. I could sense a positive response.

"Were the both of you friends?" I asked, making her surprised.

"How did you know?" Her expression made it easy to tell.

? "You seem to like her just from mentioning her."

"Unlike Bianca, Nelly got along with everyone in our class." Even if Nelly was considered an enemy, Nelly could get people to like her. She would seem like a charismatic character if that were the case.

"She would try her best to stop Bianca when she goes too far. Nelly and Bianca are pretty close in terms of strength." So both of them were weaker than Serena individually.

"What magic did they use?" I asked Tess as I was curious. It would not be polite to ask others, but Tess didn't seem to mind.

"Bianca, like me, had the power to make wind. I don't like to admit it, but because of her, I learned a few things from her." I see.

"Nelly's magic is tough to beat. She could create diamonds that would block most people's attack." That would be tough to deal with if your magic were at a similar level as hers.

Going back and forth, I would talk about my experience in Avaris. Both me and Tess had been talking for an hour.

"It was nice having to talk to you again. I have something I need to do. See you later." And just like that, Tess had left like the wind.

Having to talk to her was refreshing in a way. Now that I was alone again, I should check up on Livie and Serena. I hope my presence wouldn't cause any lustful accidents.

On my way to my house, before I went back. There was a snack store that I have yet to try out. Both Livie and Serena could be visited any time later.

Going in, there were some chocolate bars that the store sold. I hadn't seen a chocolate bar in ages. They were my favorite kind of snack.

Their sweetness and texture couldn't be beaten. Their creamy and aftertaste were also the best. I bought a couple of them for my friends and me.

Since I had already bought a chocolate bar, I might as well have a taste. Ripping the wrapper, I took a bite of the chocolate.

It was pretty damn good. While I had a few complaints, I couldn't be too mad at the bar. Most of the problem coming from the chocolate bar was that it was too hard.

After finishing my small shopping spree, I returned home to check on both Livie and Serena.
