At first, Hughes heard that the students and teachers of the Lach Academy of Magic occupied one-seventh of the total area of the academy. He did not know why.

But when he passed through the villas, he instantly understood the reason.

After sighing with emotion, Hughes entered the villa in front of him.

As the villa's door was half-open, Hughes did not use a key and directly pushed the door open.

After entering the interior of the villa, Hughes had a panoramic view of the entire first floor of the villa.

Sofa, television, coffee table...

The furnishings in the living room were the same as the furnishings of an ordinary person's home. It was just the room that looked a little luxurious.

Just as Hughes was about to find a place to sit for a while, a tall man walked out from the room on the left.

When the tall man walked out of the room and found that there was someone in the living room, he was slightly stunned.

When he saw the suitcase in Hughes's hand, he reacted and went forward to help take the suitcase.

Then he said, "You must be my roommate. Hello, my name is Otis, and I'm a fire magician."

"Hughes, I'm a light magician."

Hughes nodded slightly.

"You're actually a light magician. Looks like I'm quite lucky to be able to share a room with a rare magician."

"This villa has a total of two floors. The facilities and equipment on these two floors are almost the same."

"Because I came earlier, I'll stay on the first floor. You can have the second floor."

"But if you want to stay on the first floor, you can have it."

Otis looked very tall, but he was surprisingly easy to talk to.

"No need, I'll stay on the second floor!"

Although Otis was easy to talk to, Hughes was not the kind of person who liked to take advantage of others.

After saying that, Hughes carried his suitcase and walked straight to the second floor.

The entire second floor of the villa was about 300 square meters.

Moreover, it was specially equipped with a lounge, a recreation room, and a cultivation room.

"Not bad, not bad."

After walking around, Hughes was extremely satisfied.

Although it was said to be a two-person dormitory, it was actually not much different from a single room.

Moreover, the supporting facilities here were really too complete.

The cultivation room's surroundings were all made of alloy.

And the ceiling was very high.

After casually tossing his luggage aside, Hughes laid down on the sofa in the hall.

What surprised him was that even the sofa was a massage sofa.

After lying down for a while, Hughes tidied up a little before walking down the stairs.

At this moment, Otis was eating snacks on the sofa downstairs.

"Otis."

After saying hello, Hughes walked over.

"Do you know where we can collect our specially recruited contract beasts?"

"I know, it's right next to the teaching building 4. There's a place that specializes in selling demon beasts."

After saying that, Otis handed over the potato chips in his hand. "Do you want to eat? The latest flavor of potato chips tastes pretty good."

"Next to teaching building no. 4? I've got it."

While reaching out for the potato chips, Hughes recalled the map he had seen before and memorized the approximate location.

"These potato chip tastes pretty good."

After eating a mouthful of potato chips, Hughes was slightly surprised.

He usually did not eat snacks, so he had not expected it to taste so good.

"Of course."

Otis chuckled and said, "Are you going to collect your contracted demon beast? Do you want me to come with you? I have nothing to do anyway."

"Okay, then let's go together."

Hughes smiled and didn't refuse.

Teaching building no. 1 was about two kilometers away from the student villa area.

Hughes and Otis arrived after walking for a while.

At this point, a large number of students were walking out of teaching building no. 1 while chatting and laughing.

Without exception, they were all holding a magic staff that was as tall as a person.

Moreover, their bodies were emitting a faint magical aura.

"Isn't it summer vacation now? Why is school still in session?"

Hughes was a little surprised when he saw this scene.

"There are still five days before the college entrance exam in high school, and summer vacation in college hasn't even started yet."

Otis explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is."

Hughes suddenly understood.

Subconsciously, he thought that it was already summer vacation.

In fact, the college entrance exams have not even started yet.

"Besides, after becoming a mage, how could there be a vacation?"

Otis continued, "Even if the school is on vacation, we students have to work hard to improve our strength.

"Otherwise, when school starts, the other students might even surpass you."

"That's true."

Hughes nodded in agreement.

The mage academy's purpose was to cultivate more powerful mages.

Therefore, the various benefits in the school were provided to the students to train their strengths.

Under such circumstances, no one could relax.

Shaking his head, Hughes did not think too much about it.

He followed Otis to the demon beast sales office.

Outside the demon beast sales office was a wide open area. Several demon beasts that were locked in cages were emitting magical auras.

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

...

The moment the two got close, they heard the roars of demon beasts.

"Low-level wind wolf, middle-level armored rhino, low-level earth piercing tiger..."

After taking a quick glance, Hughes saw many decent demon beasts.

Although adult demon beasts were very powerful, they were not his target. His goal was to raise demon beast cubs that were much more approachable.

Hughes then found a staff member at the side and explained his purpose of coming.

"The young demon beasts are not outside, but inside the sales building. Moreover, your special recruitment status also needs to be confirmed inside the sales building."

The staff member smiled slightly and led the two into the building at the side.

The interior of the demon beast sales building was decorated very luxuriously.

The floor of the hall was so bright that people could see it clearly. The decorations were extraordinary.

The staff in the hall were comprised of handsome men and beautiful women. Each one of them had a smile that made people feel as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.

And in the center of the hall, there were transparent incubators placed next to each other.

Inside the incubators, there were demon beast cubs, and some were just demon beast eggs.

At this point, there were quite a number of students who were being led by the staff to select demon beasts for their contract.

"Woah, this school's demon beast sales office is a little too luxurious."

Upon seeing this scene, Hughes could not help but exclaim in surprise.

"Many of the school's businesses are in cooperation with external forces. This demon beast sales office was contracted by a super-rich family."

Otis, who was beside him seemed to be quite familiar with this.

"Student, I need to confirm your identity as a special recruit."

The staff at the front desk said.

"Okay."

Hughes handed his student card to the staff at the front desk.

After a while, the other party finished verifying his identity.
