Chapter 218 Mission hall

"Yes, the three who I care." Max nodded.

Anna understood what he meant. She couldn't help but marvel at this extraordinary change in Max.

In her eyes, Max had always been the innocent and shy type of guy who didn't know anything about the outer world. But now, his character was completely opposite and seemed to be an entirely different person.

'However, If I have to choose, I'll always choose the current you.' Anna thought.

Although she didn't like the fact that he had so many women, after knowing about his 'special condition,' she wasn't too repulsed by it. Most importantly, she could see that he was no longer gloomy and was living a much happier life.

Max waited a while for her to say something. However, she didn't. Therefore, he asked.

"Anna, how do you feel about me?"

"Huh?" Anna's body shook slightly as she came out of her thoughts upon hearing his question.

"I-I don't know." Anna murmured, and before he could say anything, she said, "Let's sleep now. You have to go on the mission tomorrow."

After saying this, she closed turned around and closed her eyes.

Thump! Thump!

Her heart was racing like a bullet train right now, her face red. She just hoped that he wouldn't ask this question again, at least not yet, because her emotions were too chaotic right now.

Max sighed upon seeing this. He couldn't force her if she didn't want to say it, but he was pretty sure she also liked him as a man.

"Okay, let's sleep." He stopped thinking about it and hugged her from behind, causing her to quiver, which was unnatural considering they had been sleeping like this since they started living together.

A smile appeared on Max's face noticing this change. He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

After a while, Anna also managed to calm down and fell asleep.

…

Late in the morning…

'Hm?' Max woke up and instinctively tried to hug Anna, but she wasn't there.

Yawn!

He yawned lazily and got out of the bed.

When he was going to the bathroom to freshen up, he noticed a note.

'Max, I've made the breakfast for you. Eat it and quickly go and collect your mission. If you are late, there will be a lot of disciples, and please wait for me; I'll come back in a few hours.

One more thing, the woman named Belen, Rima, and Leticia came to meet you, saying that they wanted to go mission hall together, humph. I told them you were sleeping and won't be getting up for a few hours, hehe. Anna.'

After reading it, he smiled and shook his head. He was sure that she hadn't noticed that she was sounding jealous right now.

After half an hour, Max left his room and headed toward the mission hall.

When he reached there, it was already crowded, and many disciples were constantly going in and out.

The mission hall building was quite spacious. A dozen Mission counters were set up where disciples could take or submit the missions.

Apart from these mission counters, the hall's left wall was another attraction. It was called 'mission wall,' and Countless mission scrolls were pinned on it.

Any disciple who wanted to do more missions to earn extra resources could choose any mission they wanted from this wall.

Max wished he could take a mission from the wall since fewer disciples were crowding there compared to mission counters where long lines were formed.

However, he couldn't since every disciple had to complete their monthly mission assigned by the academy first. Only then could they choose more from the mission wall.

Max went and stood in a line that was comparatively shorter than others.

As he waited for his turn, he felt a gaze filled with battle intent from his right. As he glanced there, he found a dangerous-looking yet enchanting beauty staring at him. It was Evangeline.

She smiled and nodded at him when he looked at her. Max also nodded back before ignoring her existence.

Although she had stated that she wasn't his enemy and wouldn't cause him any trouble, he was still cautious and didn't want any form of relationship with her as long as she didn't cause any trouble to him or others around him.

Because he was from the earth where men usually forgave and felt that men were supposed to help and protect women, he didn't want to kill her since there wasn't any deep enmity between them.

After all, she only tried to kill him because Bartan hired her. However, if she did anything like that again, he wouldn't think twice before killing her. (A/N: I get the feeling that many of you guys will dislike this logic, lol. But it is what it is.)

However, after their short exchange, he felt many gazes filled with curiosity, jealousy, and even hostility land on him. They were from Evangeline's admirers. This caused him to frown.

Evangeline noticed his expression and felt helpless. She knew that his impression of her must have reduced even further now.

However, she couldn't do anything about it. Because of her beauty, many males always wanted to court her, and after being rejected, they would try to cause trouble to any male she interacted with. This was also the reason why she always kept her face covered.

'Well, it doesn't matter what he thinks of me anyways.' She shrugged her shoulders. She didn't intend to befriend him and only saw him as her opponent.

…

After a while, it was finally his turn to take the mission.

"Your disciple badge." The Elder on the counter said without even looking at him.

Max took out his badge and gave it to him.

The Elder quickly 'scanned' it and gave it back to him. He then took out a mission scroll. "Here, this is your mandatory mission for this month." The Elder said before calling for the next disciple to come.

Max took the mission scroll and stored it in his inventory before walking out of the mission hall.

He was going to meet Flavia before going out on the mission, so she won't think that he was also repulsed by her scar and lose his good image in her heart.
