Chapter 138 Waiting

The time came to the end of May before we knew it.

Annan spent this period of time fairly peacefully, with no sudden accidents or unexpected things happening around him.

After solving the hidden dangers of the black magicians of the Coulier Gang, Roderick can be sure that no news of any black magic incidents has spread, so there is no need for the power of Annan as a consultant for the time being.

Veronica, who had completed the physical examination before, silently accepted the fact of the dark creature, did not stalk him, and continued to assist Roderick in managing the gang.

As for Anna, who claims to be a bounty hunter and international mercenary, and the little girl beside her, they haven't seen each other for a while.

Annan doesn't plan to do anything special now. The rough plan in his mind for the future can be adjusted according to the needs of the situation, which means he can take his time.

Annan, who has decided to enroll in the Magic Academy after the summer vacation, has completed all the required procedures, and then just waits for the time to pass.

The high school Annan is currently studying in is also at an important time before the final exam. However, because of the convenience given to him by the school, he does not need to take the exam. He can directly obtain the high school diploma.

Now Annan can be said to have entered a state of doing nothing. At most, he can take time to practice magic, continue to become familiar with the black magic he has mastered, etc.

boom!

Annan did not take the school bus home from school today and planned to wander around. After hearing a gunshot from the left, he continued to move forward without any hesitation.

boom!

Wow!

Annan ignored the shouting and running people behind him. He was used to it.

However, the recent gang fights have become more and more obvious. Even during this afternoon, these gangs started fighting without any scruples.

Of course, this kind of thing will not happen in the city center or in the residential areas of wealthy people. The police have well-deployed personnel to manage the security of those important areas.

As for other places, the current situation is close to a chaotic dance of demons.

boom!

"A bit noisy."

Annan continued to move forward steadily and dug his ears with his fingers.

"Recently, the sound of gunshots has almost replaced the sound of alarm clocks. I don't know when this kind of gang war will end."

The leaders of the three major gangs in Kedax City died one after another, which led to various disputes and chaos within the gangs. Although the three major gangs still exist in name, in fact they have long been split into many different groups. faction.

In order to compete for various interests or territory, only a small number of these gangs choose to negotiate at the table, while most of them impulsively engage in gunfire negotiations.

"Now I finally know how useless the police here are. The three most powerful gangs are obviously in chaos. It's a very good opportunity to completely disintegrate their power, but they haven't done anything. It's really Yes, it’s useless.”

The corruption of the local police has promoted the rampant gangs, and then the developed gangs have continued to corrupt the police, forming an endless cycle that is difficult to break.

Coupled with the various national conditions, no matter how amazing and talented the person is, it will not be possible to improve the corruption situation in this place, even if it takes decades, maybe even a century will not be enough.

Annan, the traveler, is not an ambitious person. He has never thought about improving the situation here. He is just asking for trouble.

Of course, he hopes that someone can change the situation here. He is a pacifist and does not want to hear random gunfire when walking on the street every day.

"Well, where are we going next?"

Annan walked around in the streets and didn't go home until night.

Today, my uncle Mark who lives with us. Grant wasn't here. He had said the day before that he might have to go home late.

So today, after school, Annan has more free time to walk around.

Almost a month has passed, and Mark has not encountered the self-proclaimed gangster who beat him up at the beginning of last month. His worries have calmed down a little, but he still needs to prepare.

Mark had already planned to move out of this neighborhood where security was not very good and choose a place with a better environment before Annan entered the Magic Academy.

In fact, although Mark, as a long-distance truck driver, works very hard and often has to be away from home for long periods of time, his income is close to the middle class here. If he wants, he can move to a better place at any time.

The reason why I have been living here before is not only because I am too lazy to move because I am used to it, but also to save money.

Mark wanted Annan to study well. Even if Annan's grades were not good and he could not be admitted to university, he planned to pay for his nephew to attend some private universities where he could afford it, or to study at a foreign university.

Annan also got the idea from this uncle not long ago.

If Annan failed to awaken the magic power, Mark might arrange it this way.

Now that Annan has entered the Magic Academy on his own merit, it can be said that he is promising. Mark no longer has to act like a miser and can use the savings for studying as much as he wants.

It is true that Annan received funding from the magic professor, but Mark thought it was better not to rely solely on the magic professor, so that if there was a dispute between the two in the future, they would not be cornered.

Annan wanted to tell his uncle not to think so much, but in the end he silently accepted the other party's kindness.

Anyway, just return the unused money to Mark in the future.

"Not today, either?"

Annan, who was lying on the bed ready to sleep, closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly.

The next day, Annan still had to go to school.

Although you don't have to worry about the final exam, you still need to maintain attendance.

After eating the breakfast prepared by his uncle, Annan took the school bus to school as usual.

The school time passed in a boring and peaceful manner. Annan, who had no intention of making any friends in this school, was wandering around after school just like yesterday.

Annan avoided the areas where several gang members fought fiercely, and gradually came to the northern suburbs of the city.

He walked into a dark, deserted grove and went deep for a long time before he stopped.

"Still not, is it too obvious? Forget it, go home."

If you continue walking, you will really enter the barren mountains. Annan can only turn back now.

Then, it happened.

The dark shadow approached silently.

Whoosh!

Annan, who had no time to react, was attacked by a shadow from an invisible blind spot!
