Chapter 60 The Rendezvous

"I wonder who in the world has the audacity to provoke the Hunter Mercenary Group!"

"They've always been so overbearing. With the Punk family backing them, they must have run into some formidable opponent somewhere."

"I, for one, would be more than delighted to see them get their just deserts. Yesterday, one of their men whipped me out of the blue. Goodness, I was completely innocent!"

"Now they're searching so frantically. I wonder if they'll manage to find the culprit. Here's hoping that brave soul has good luck."

Such remarks were being bandied about on every street corner. Even though some mercenaries tried to silence a few of the more vocal individuals, they couldn't quell the public's enthusiasm for discussing the matter.

With the police station in the vicinity, these mercenaries didn't dare to go too far. After all, the police were an official organization.

In stark contrast to the hubbub outside, Mays Academy was as tranquil as ever.

The modestly thick walls of the academy served as a barrier, insulating the students from the din of the town and allowing them to focus on their studies in peace.

In the classroom, Mr. Smith, his hair a mix of white and gray, had just concluded his lecture. As he was gathering his teaching materials to leave, a young girl's voice called out to him.

"Mr. Smith, please wait a moment."

Mr. Smith halted at the classroom door and turned around. Upon seeing that it was Bonnie who had called him, he smiled and said, "Oh, Bonnie. Is there something amiss? Did you not understand something from the lecture just now?"

This student had a fairly decent academic record in the class and a lively, endearing personality. Mr. Smith was quite fond of her and was willing to spare a few extra moments for her.

"That's not it," Bonnie said, looking a bit sheepish.

"Then what is it?"

By this time, the students had already dispersed to play and chat after class, paying no heed to the conversation taking place.

"Mr. Smith, you've always struck me as a man of great erudition and talent. I'm sure you know a great deal about many things," Bonnie flattered.

Mr. Smith was secretly pleased but still said modestly, "I've just lived a long time and delved deeply into various subjects. I'm far from being truly learned. So, what is it you'd like to ask?"

"Well..." Bonnie hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I wanted to ask, Mr. Smith, do you know anything about Bayek Town?"

Mr. Smith's expression froze for a split second, and then he furrowed his brows in thought.

Seeing his reaction, Bonnie couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment.

After a short while, Mr. Smith said uncertainly, "I seem to recall hearing that name when I first arrived here, but I only heard others mention it in passing. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing in particular. I just heard the name recently and was curious," Bonnie said, quickly fabricating an excuse when she realized she wasn't going to get any more information from her teacher.

Mr. Smith gave the student a long, searching look and then waved his hand. "All right. If there's nothing else, I must be on my way."

"Okay, goodbye, teacher."

Watching Mr. Smith leave the classroom, Bonnie turned to look out the window. Less than a minute later, as if she had made a firm decision, she walked towards Lila's seat.

At that moment, Lila was engrossed in reading a book. It was only when Bonnie approached that she looked up instinctively.

"Bonnie, what's going on?"

Just as she was about to blurt out her decision, Bonnie suddenly became cautious and glanced around.

Lila's beauty was well-known throughout the academy. Now, the boys in the class would often cast surreptitious glances in their direction.

Bonnie wasn't sure if what she had to say would be overheard, so she tugged at the hem of Lila's dress and whispered, "Lila, let's step outside. I have something I want to discuss with you."

Lila was puzzled but still followed her good friend out of the classroom.

Once they were certain that no one was paying attention to them, Lila said, slightly exasperated, "All right, Bonnie. What's this all about? I still need to review the material for the next class."

Bonnie's expression was serious, and her tone was mysterious. "Lila, would you accompany me to Bayek Town again?"

Upon hearing this, Lila was visibly taken aback. It took her a moment to recover before she exclaimed in surprise, "Weren't you terrified of that place? Why on earth do you want to go there?"

Their previous trip to Bayek hadn't been a pleasant one, and it had left them with lingering fears, especially Bonnie.

Although they didn't know how she had managed to overcome her fear, her sudden request to go back was truly unexpected for Lila.

"Actually..." Bonnie's voice trailed off. "Mr. Glen came to see me..."

She was reluctant to say this because she was afraid her friend wouldn't believe her or what Mr. Glen had told her.

Although they were aware of the existence of magic, they had never actually experienced it firsthand.

"Mr. Glen?" Lila was even more confused. "What does he have to do with this?"

Then she nodded as if she suddenly understood. "Mr. Glen must have said something to you that helped you get over your fear, right?"

Remembering that she had once mentioned Bonnie's situation to Mr. Glen, Lila was even more convinced.

Mr. Glen must have been planning to visit Bonnie and try to help her even then, right? He's such a kind-hearted person... Lila thought to herself and then urged Bonnie, "Come on, Bonnie. Tell me what you two talked about that day."

Bonnie was surprised by her friend's curiosity, but since she had already decided to tell her everything, she recounted their conversation as accurately as she could.

During this time, they even skipped the next class.

This academy was small in size, with a limited number of students, and the rules governing the students were relatively lenient. So, it wasn't uncommon for students to skip classes.

Even Lila would sometimes use class time to do other things.

The teachers were well aware of this. Unless they caught the students in the act, they couldn't be bothered to intervene.

This wasn't a prestigious academy in the capital city.

Most of the students here were from commoner families, and it was much more challenging to discipline them.

After Bonnie finished speaking, Lila's eyes shone with the same eagerness as Bonnie's.

"Let's pay a visit there tomorrow!" When Lila said this with great enthusiasm, Bonnie still felt a bit overwhelmed.

"Okay... okay," she nodded hesitantly.

The two of them continued to discuss the matter as they made their way back to the classroom.

Just then, the class had just ended, and several boys of varying appearances walked towards them.

At the forefront was Myer. When he saw Lila and Bonnie, he immediately asked, intrigued, "Lila, why weren't you in class last period? You're not the type to skip classes. Fortunately, Mr. Demondo didn't notice."

Mr. Demondo was the teacher for the previous class.

"Thank you for your concern. Bonnie and I had some personal matters to attend to, so we couldn't make it," Lila explained with a smile.

The boys behind Myer also vied with one another to express their concern, hoping to win Lila's favor.

However, Lila was already used to such situations. She knew that her looks often attracted this kind of attention. These adolescent boys would always try to show off, thinking they were being charming, gentle, or elegant.

Lila actually found this rather childish, but out of courtesy, she wouldn't dampen their fragile egos.

Among the boys she was close to, Myer and Pock were relatively more mature. At least they didn't have the same overwhelming desire to show off in front of the opposite sex as the other boys did.

"Lila, what are you talking about?"

Just as Lila was about to say something to dismiss these classmates, a familiar voice sounded behind her.

Everyone turned around, and their eyes lit up.

"Pernas?" Lila called out the name of the person who had just arrived.

At the sight of the noble young lady dressed in resplendent and elegant attire, the boys who had been vying for attention just moments ago fell silent.

Compared to Lila, the beauty from the commoner class, Pernas was someone they didn't even dare to dream of approaching.
