"You seem to know that boy, want me to look after him for you?"
Narrowing her eyes and glaring at Maria towards the seemingly common words since Anastasia felt that Maria was trying to brazenly steal Felix from her, it took the Phoenix Empress just a split second to calm down and realise what the principal actually meant.
However, this split second was enough for Maria to pick up the oddity and show a subtle but curious smile.
"No need, I can look after him myself."
"Oooohhh?"
Exaggerating her reaction in hopes of drawing something else out of Anastasia, Maria after failing decided that she'd just have to pay attention to that handsome boy.
"Can we get back to the topic now? When are you coming back to the army?"
"It's not as if you don't know why I and many others are not willing to come back, Phoenix Empress."
"Sigh.… those bastards who keep throwing their weight around and try to force you women.... Unfortunately, even I can't do anything to stop all of them… but.."
"Then you should stop trying to persuade me and the others to come back! It's not as if your life is at risk! As the great Phoenix Empress you have no one to fear! But what about us?!!!"
Not feeling offended despite someone weaker than her raising her tone since she knew that her words were true, Anastasia said, "In that case, why don't you join the Nine-Tailed Phoenix Sect? They'll definitely be able to protect... "
Cutting Anastasia off, Maria began walking away while leaving her words behind.
"I don't know about the others, but one day I want someone to embrace and cuddle with. And that boy I saw just now further deepened this desire inside me."
…
The personal terminal, this was a device which could in short be considered as the most prominent and greatest creation made by humanity.
It was a device that originated from combining a watch, a computer, and a 3D projector.
And given how useful it was and the fact that almost every single living being under the boundless skies wore it, this personal terminal was used by the Astral Government to serve as proof of everyone's identity and made it the only device needed by anyone to live in the current era.
After all, there was literally nothing that one couldn't do through their personal terminal.
You want to buy something? Done!
You wanna sell? Done!
Recruit help? Done!
Want a bodyguard? Done!
Regardless of what one wanted, every being with intelligence could use their personal terminal to obtain whatever it was that they desired.
Clicking on the watch's screen which didn't even need him to charge it because it did so on its own by absorbing the Astral Energy in the air, Felix didn't need to wait even a second before a rectangle-shaped hologram appeared above it.
Scrolling through the various applications on it, Felix directly opened the app which was used by people to both give out quests and accept it.
In short, this app was something like an unofficial mercenary association which took quests from everyone and let anyone that felt like they could clear it accept the quest.
If they managed to finish the quest, the one who did it would receive the reward that was decided beforehand while the company would obtain a small fee from the one who posted the quest.
Opening the interface and making sure that the location was set to the 3rd Dimension, Felix began leisurely scrolling through the various available quests after filtering them to those which didn't need him to use his strength.
After all, most of the quests that required someone strong were not something which Felix could complete despite possessing a Tier 9 Rune.
Instead, what he hoped to find were quests that were dealt with Astral Rune Designs and Astral Ink Formulas.
As someone who possessed the Astral Library Orb, how could Felix fail in completing these quests?
The reason he didn't search for quests related to his expertise in the higher Dimensions however was because he didn't want his identity to be revealed by anyone that felt curious about him and began investigating.
Like always, Felix kept on scrolling through the various quests to find something which he could do and gave him an appropriate reward at the same time.
However such quests were not lying around like cabbages due to which Felix would need to spend quite some time in searching.
What the boy didn't expect however , was to find a quest which wasn't related to neither Astral Designs nor Astral Inks and yet offered a humongous reward for completing it.
Unfortunately, the details of the quest itself were kept a secret and the only information revealed was the qualifications needed by those who wanted to attempt it.
Mind blowing handsome boy under the age of 20.
Reading this, Felix couldn't be blamed for imagining that the one who posted this quest had some nefarious thoughts and was most likely some ugly middle-aged woman who always licked her lips when a handsome boy passed by her.
But seeing the vast rewards offered upon the completion of it, Felix felt that maybe his thoughts were exaggerated and not completely accurate.
Thus, he decided to pay a visit at the given address and find out about what the quest was. As for whether he would want to do it or not, that would depend on what it was.
And if you want to talk about why Felix wasn't the slightest bit nervous regarding the possibility of failing to pass the qualification, come on!
With his appearance was him failing even a possibility?
Smirking at how he wouldn't feel even the slightest bit shy in declaring that he was the most handsome man, especially now after his appearance turned even more refined and attractive due to inscribing the True Dragon Rune, Felix began thinking about what the mission could possibly be.
