Rezen has no choice but to resign to his face and he turned his back to meet his tribesman
"Hello" he greeted in a lukewarm manner but Treen didn't seem to notice that as he was in an extremely good mood
"Hehehe, Rezen, guess where I am going!" Treen said happily and the answer was definitely a no brainer
"You're going on a date" Rezen answered and the other man gasped exaggeratedly though this was just really his natural reaction
"How did you know that?!" Treen asked in shock and Rezen almost kicked this man's balls
With the way he is dressed and the bright aura around him it doesn't take a genius to realize that he is going on a date
"Intuition" Rezen simply replied and Treen nodded his head
"You're indeed the genius of all tribesmen!" Treen complimented him but this was his genuine feelings
At the start when the tribesmen just entered the City of Hope the thing that made Rezen stand out the most is the fact that he is an alchemist. His cultivation talent is not enough for him to reach the top
However, after just three months, Rezen is now viewed as the most talented tribesman in their batch. He is a Deviant Mage in the 3rd cycle!
Sure, there are other tribesmen that are currently stronger than him but they already reached their fullest potential. Aside from the ones that are originally at the apprentice rank prior to entering the city, there were barely any Junior Mages that advanced in these three months
After all, even though they now have better resources, environment, and knowledge many of them did wrong things while cultivating in the past. Even if they didn't some are already too old to advance or since their rank is already that high they required more than three months before they could advance once again
Out of all the tribesmen on Rezen's batch, he was the one that advanced the most when it comes to cultivation ranks. Not to mention he is also learning alchemy
He is the ultimate genius at the standard of the tribesmen
"Alright, go and have fun with your date then" Rezen said as there are still more important things that he should be doing aside from talking to this person that has become bizarre in his eyes
"Wait, Rezen! I'm actually on my way to find you. Come with me on my date!" Treen suggested and Rezen almost instantly shook his head
He already met Treen's sugar mommy a few times and Rezen judged that she is stronger than even Philome and Wermon. Just what would happen if he were to become an unwanted third wheel on their date
"What? No, come on, come with me. This is actually for your sake!"
Question marks filled Rezen's face. How is this for his sake? He definitely doesn't need to watch people being lovey-dovey!
Seeing that Rezen doesn't believe him, Treen speaks confidently. "Did you know that I received a recommendation letter to Tryst Academy, a second-rate academy!" He said proudly while rubbing his nose and Rezen's jaw almost fell to the ground
That is the same academy that he is planning to attend! Even someone as talented as him only barely receives a recommendation letter to Tryst Academy. How come that Treen reached the same level as him?
While Treen's progress was above average amongst the tribesmen Rezen is aware that is only because of the resources he received from his 'girlfriend'. How is it possible for him to receive that kind of recommendation letter?
Seeing Rezen's look of disbelief, Treen looked around him before whispering. "Actually, my girlfriend is the Headmaster of Tryst Academy. That's the reason why I received a recommendation letter. Hehehe, I also only learned of this today when she said that she has a surprise for me"
At that, Rezen shuddered. Should he actually change his career path? He consumed countless resources and worked his butt off to have a chance of becoming a student at a second-rate academy but all Treen has to do to achieve the same thing is to roll in bed with someone. This is too unfair!
"Hehehe, I'm awesome, right? This is the reason why I want to bring you with me. I might be able to get you a recommendation letter. With your talent, I believe that you'll blossom if you enter a great academy!"
"Ha...ha...ha... I-I actually also received a recommendation letter to Tryst Academy" Rezen replied in a downcast matter
He felt like he should rethink his life choices. He should have just found himself a sugar mommy... or maybe a sugar daddy if he doesn't have a choice to make his life easier
"Ah, you did? That's great! You really are the most talented! I'm envious!"
Rezen almost bashed his friend's head into the ground. Who should be envious of whom exactly?!
"Y-yeah... thanks..." Rezen replied weakly but it was as if Treen didn't notice that as he was still as jolly as before
"Anyway, I think you should still come with me. We should show how close we are so that my girlfriend will also favor you!"
As much as Rezen doesn't want to go but he is still someone that tasted the sweetness of nepotism while he was in the earth realm. It would only do him good if he has the backing of the higher-ups and he accepted Treen's invitation
——
"What the heck" These were the words that came out of Rezen's mouth as soon as he got off the public magic shuttle
This was one of the most prosperous districts of the City of Hope that he set foot in
In the past, he only went to places like the training center or the market to sell his potions. This is the first time that he entered an entertainment district
This area is clearly more prosperous than the area where their dormitory was placed. The buildings are higher and the people are richer
Rezen could even see people riding on flying sticks worth tens of thousands and even a hundred thousand low-level mana stones. Even someone like him couldn't buy those high-end flying sticks
However, while Rezen was unaccustomed to the prosperity of this area Treen acted as if this was his own backyard. With the way he acts and reacted it seems like this was not the first time that he set foot in such a rich neighborhood
'Seriously what am I doing with my life? I should just get myself a sugar mommy!' Rezen thought and he and Treen rode on their respective flying sticks
The magic shuttle they rode on was a public mode of transportation with fixed places where people could get off. As such, they were not at their destination yet and has to fly on their sticks for around five more minutes
This was common to the normal citizens of the City of Hope. They would ride on a magic shuttle and get off close to their destination before using their flying sticks
With how expensive the flying sticks of the other people in this area Rezen suddenly had the desire to buy a better flying stick
After five minutes Rezen and Treen finally reached their destination and it was a three-story restaurant
The restaurant has a simple yet elegant design with its blue and red walls which was unusual to the city as the buildings mostly have white, beige, and other neutral colors
Maybe that is the reason why this restaurant attracted many customers as Rezen could see many people going in and out
With Treen at the front, the two entered the restaurant amidst the judging eyes of the two guards on the door
'If I know that we'll go to this kind of place I would have worn something better!' Rezen thought through greeted teeth
He went out intending to train. Because of that he wore a set of cheap clothes so that his pockets wouldn't hurt even if he were to ruin them in the process of training. Because of that people are now judging him
Rezen even guess that if he was not with Treen that wore better clothes compared to him the guards wouldn't let him enter the restaurant
'By the way, where is that little snake? I actually forgot about him. That bastard is crafty, it actually escapes when I was not paying attention!' Rezen thought angrily
Rezen let Treen talk to the receptionist and after they confirmed his appointment a staff was assigned to guide them to where Treen's girlfriend was
