Nero, The Legendary Hunter

The next morning, Yui was the first to wake up at three.

Yui stretched her long legs so that she had nowhere else to put them, revealing two smooth white calves, then stretched gently.

"Nero, Choko, wake up," Yui said softly in her cold voice.

"5 more... No, 10 more minutes..." Choko murmured.

Nero narrowed her eyes lazily. Stretching lazily, she smiled with her eyes closed, "Good morning~"

"Mm, good morning." Yui smiled. She went to the bedroom window and opened it.

Soon sunlight lit up the room.

Choko grunted in dissatisfaction, then covered her face with the blanket.

Yui hummed and went to the bathroom.

There was a large hot tub, and she'd woken up early mostly to have time to call at three for a warm bath before heading to school.

After washing her face and looking in the mirror, what she saw was not just her reflection in the mirror, but that she had completed the mission. Although she believes that it is already a little late to appear, anyway, since it is complete, she also saw a new mission flash and clicked.

Nero clicked on the skill book [Swipe] and saw the skill information: When using this skill, the user can slide forward, backward, left, and right more than 10 meters away in 1s intervals.

'Almost led me to believe that there would be no more quests upon leveling up...' Nero muttered lazily in her heart.

Although she was happy about it, she was still sleepy. After washing her face three times, she went back to her room and sat on the bed.

A few minutes later, she smiled a little when she learned that she had won a new mission.

"Nero, let's go shower~!"

Hearing Yui's voice coming from the bathroom, she hummed and went to the bathroom.

Upon entering, she saw Choko struggling to remove her shirt while her eyes were half open.

Nero laughed a little and helped her.

'I think I overreacted last night...' Seeing Choko like this, she started to reflect.

After breakfast, Nero was called by Elsa.

Elsa tilted her head while keeping a straight face: "Nero, I already got approximately 2000 level 32+ monsters. You need 6000 to level up, yes?"

"Mm." Nero agreed.

"Okay, I'll hand these monsters over to you when I get back from class, even if you don't level up after taking the magic cores and using them, you won't need to do everything at once. By the way, I will go to a dungeon today, I will try to increase that number of monsters to 4 thousand."

"Thank you, big sister~" Nero was moved. She hugged Elsa and kissed her cheek.

After receiving so much from Elsa, and seeing her meticulous care, she admits that she misjudged Elsa when they first met...

Nero smiled brightly as she walked away.

"No need to thank me, you are my little sister." Elsa smiled gently as she rubbed Nero's face and gently pinched, "Only when you become strong enough to no longer be threatened by Eliane, will I be able to have more peace of mind."

"Mm." Nero nodded, touched.

It was true that even at this moment Eliane was still trying to kill her.

It was simply revolting since she used other people while they didn't even know her location.

After they arrived at the school, Jair became uneasy when he saw Amélia.

In that exquisitely handsome face, there were feelings imperceptible to Jair.

"What are you looking at?" Jana followed Jair's gaze and saw Amelia. She asked rhetorically, "Oh, are you looking at Amelia, the girl you like?"

"…Yes," Jair admitted. The instant his eyes saw her, he was already locked on her.

Nero and the rest who heard a little about Amelia looked in her direction.

"She seems a little cold." Nero touched her chin appraisingly: "And, she is very pretty." She tapped Jair on the shoulder: "It won't be easy for you."

Jair pursed his lips. She sighs, "I know, but I'll try, I don't want my love for her to die before I even try my best."

"Good luck then." Nero patted her twice more on the shoulder and continued walking.

Jair saw that Amelia entered Class B next to theirs.

When he entered Class A, he still couldn't stop thinking about her.

He was also worried. After all, she was once the target of someone malicious enough to make her swallow the worm of depravity.

On the lunch break.

"Nero, can I have lunch with you?"

"Mm?" Nero looked at her.

She remembered who she was, her name was Seo Min-ji, she was in the same class as them and she was a level 20 Swordswoman.

She was as tall as Jair. She had short golden hair and her appearance was very beautiful and voluptuous. She wasn't at the level of beauty like Choko and Yui, however, that heroic spirit mixed with her beauty formed a unique charm.

Nero looked at Choko and the rest, and seeing that they nodded, she said, "Of course."

They occupied a large table. But since their group was big enough, there was only one more seat left at the opposite end of Nero when they sat down.

Seo Min-ji seemed to have something she wanted to talk about with Nero, so she sat down on the edge closest to her.

Of course, she noticed that there was something going on between Nero, Choko, and Yui, so she was sensible to sit on the edge instead of trying to sit next to her.

"So, Seo, do you want to ask me something?" Nero asked directly.

"Oh…" Not expecting Nero to be direct, she was a bit stunned but quickly recovered and scratched her head, "Yes, it's more of a proposition. You know, there is a dungeon I want to go to, but it needs to be a group of 10 people, I wanted to ask if you would be interested in forming a team to go to the dungeon?"

"Mm, I'm even interested, but we are only 8 people and with you, we would be 9." Nero said, "Do you have someone in mind yet?"

They already thought about going to the dungeon anyway, and they knew about the minimum limit of people to invade a dungeon, so this request of hers wasn't difficult for her to accept.

Jana, Honda, and the rest had no opinion against it.

"Yes, I have." Seo perked up: "My childhood friend is at level 19. Her class is guardian, she is also in our class."

She signaled to someone.

A girl came towards them.

"Nice to meet you, my name is Taina." Taina was an average-sized woman with long golden hair that was kept back except for two strands in the front. She wore a flower clip with pearls on the right side of her hair.

"I am..." Before Choko could say, she was interrupted.

"Choko, yes?" She laughed, "You guys are already famous at school, especially in our class, I know all of your names."

"That makes it easy." Nero said: "Okay, do you agree with what Seo said?"

"Yes, I spoke with Jiji before, it was my idea to ask you guys." She said, "I'm just a lower level, so I thought it was more convenient for her to propose."

"Mm." Nero did not deny it.
