Randy sat on his bed as he thought about how to procure these magic spells and what fortune to use to buy these magic spells.

Instantly, he recalled that he had received the bounty reward from Hong Mingyue, that policewoman, but the amount of money would not be enough to buy fourth circle magic spells and so, that choice was out of the way.

He thought some more, and soon, remembered that he gave Jiang Chen the mutated beast carcasses and C-rank beast cores that would fetch a lot than those E-rank and D-rank if they were sold.

‘If I get the money from that and then add it to the money that I received from that Hong Mingyue, I should be able to afford at least one magic spell that would be useful. I don’t want to rely on my parents on something like this; I cannot be too dependent on them. I need to learn to take of things with my own effort.’

Randy silently thought with conviction and immediately he got off his bed.

He then grabbed the shells of the beast cores, placing them in some rubber bag and then putting it into the drawer on his desk.

Now that things were done with, it was time for him to sleep, he does want to waste any more time on this since tomorrow he had to go to school, thus he had to wake up early, and right now, it was already 10 o’clock in the evening.

With that thought in mind, after stowing away the shells of the beast cores, Randy quickly got into bed and then fell asleep shortly afterward.

...

.....

The following day.

Randy woke up early as usual and took a shower and then came downstairs to have his breakfast.

“Good morning, mom.”

Randy said when he saw mother returning to the living room.

“Morning, I have already cooked breakfast, so go ahead to have it before leaving.”

Riley said to him after taking off the apron that she had on, seemingly she had just finished preparing breakfast.

“Okay, mom.”

Randy replied with a smile as he quickly went and sat behind the dining table and began to eat his breakfast.

Randy had just put a fried omelet into his mouth before he suddenly raised his voice and asked: “Mom, where is dad? Is he inside the room or...?”

“Your dad had already left early this morning saying that there was something to deal with at work.” ????????????????????a????. ????????????

Riley replied to him as she sat on the couch watching television.

The living room and the dining room were not far away from each other, so you simply raise your voice enough for it to resound throughout the whole floor, enough for one to hear you.

‘Again, huh?’ Randy thought to himself when he heard his mother.

“I see, but when is he going to take a break or vacation? Isn’t it tiring staying at work all the time?” Randy asked.

“...”

Riley did not say anything a few moments before saying: “Well, there are so many incidents occurring because of the sudden rifts, so you tell me whether it’s the right time to have breaks or vacation.”

“...”

This time, it was Randy’s turn to be silent.

He knew the kind of work his father was doing at least generally what he does but the definite tasks that he deals with.

His father, Nathan work in some secret organization that he was not aware of, but his mother told him that it was tied to the government, and they deal with rifts and other matters related to rifts, so, his father was always busy since there are rifts appearing every now and then.

Randy was aware that his mother would also love to have her husband stay home all the time while only doing some simple jobs instead of being out there constantly at the risk of death, but is there really a safe place in this chaotic world?

With that thought, he silently ate his breakfast.

After he finished eating his breakfast and cleaning the dishes, he said to his mother.

“Mom, I’m leaving now. Ah, I might not come home early today, but I am not sure yet, I will let you know whether or not I will come home early after school.”

“... Well, take care and come home safely.”

Riley replied after a brief silence.

...

Randy made his way through the streets as he headed towards the Sky Rise Academy.

After walking for about 20 minutes, he made it to the vicinity near the academy’s gate, and instantly he saw some students watching something on their projected screens while discussing what they were watching.

At this point, a student approached another group of students and then said: “Hey, have you guys seen the trending virtual stream?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? Did something happen?” One of the students amongst the group of students asked intrigued.

“Did you not know? Well, let me tell you now. Some guy had managed to defeat Sword Fool, the number sword cultivator amongst the current young generation, and the duel’s recording had been popular nowadays with so much hype and you’re telling me you haven’t heard about it? Were you living under a rock or something?” The student that asked them said to the student that was intrigued.

“What?!”

The group of students exclaimed in shock when they heard this piece of news.

“Oi, are you for real? You’re not kidding us, right?” One doubtfully asked.

“Hmph! Why would I lie about something this significant? Here, take a look for yourself and see whether I am lying or not.”

The student said so as he showed them the screen projected from his smart bracelet, revealing two figures engaged in combat.

“Oh my god!

“What kind of technique did he use?”

“Just who is this guy?”

“What’s up with his appearance though, is he a foreigner?”

“Hehe, he looks badass with those looks though.”

“Maybe that’s his ability or something that changed his appearance into that.”

The group of students commented when they watched the virtual recording projected on the student’s smart screen.
