The Adventurers City wasn't particularly known for its beauty.

It resembled a simple town, though there was an abundance of large buildings within its territories. This was to accommodate for the many residents that chose to live there.

Since Adveturers often spent their time away from the house, sometimes even traveling out of the City for Quests, many of them preferred to lodge in Inns rather than rent a place of their own.

There was also the option of buying land, or a house, but it was very rare to see Adventurers opt for this option.

Not only was land in short supply, since most people didn't care to sell their properties, there was no real reason for an Adventurer to be tied down to a property they would never use.

The only ones who would consider this option were Adventurers who had families, but even they preferred renting a house to buying a property.

At the very least, there was the chance of changing locations if one went with the former.

In any case, the allure of the Adventurers City wasn't in its external appearance, which was probably why the Otherworlders who now walked down the street of the big city didn't feel much of an electrifying sensation.

They appeared more lost than excited.

"Are you sure you know where to go, Adonis? Maybe we should just ask around?"

This question came from Eric, rather than the usual blabbermouth Justin. The latter had long taken the hint and was now sulking silently.

"I'm sure." Adonis responded calmly, not looking back to see Eric's frustrated face.

Unlike most of his classmates, Eric actually wanted to properly explore the Adventurers City since he had always been an avid fantasy fan.

He felt it was a shame they weren't being given the opportunity to split and explore on their own.

'I want to talk to some Adventurers and get a feel of this place!' Eric flexed his glasses and felt his nerd spirit being set ablaze.

He was the only one who thought like this, though.

Everyone else couldn't wait for Adonis to lodge them in an Inn, considering how uncomfortable they felt to be walking outside at night.

The Adventurers City was no slum, by any means, but compared to the Capital it was sorely lacking. It was easy to spot some safety and health violations, both of which would never fly in the Capital, in many areas of the City.

Plus, the stares they received from passersby was a little unnerving. Adventurers had a certain glare that made them appear threatening, so it wasn't strange for them to cast them on peopleeven if they were total strangers.

The students weren't particularly threatened by those glares. They were pretty confident that they could take on most of the Adventurers who shot them looks.

The fundamental problem was the fact that they were inexperienced.

None of them had ever left the Capital. Even when they explored the town back then, they never strayed too far from the central marketplaces and glamorous hubs.

They certainly never stayed out late either.

All of these rules were broken at once, and with so many new experiences clashing upon one another, the teenagers wanted nothing more than to find their rooms and relax.

They never thought they would miss adult supervision so much.

Fortunately, Adonis knew exactly where he was going. In a few minutes, they arrived at their destinationa prestigious-looking building by the standards of the city.

Compared to what the students were used to, the architecture was a little shoddy, and the overall design could use some improvements.

Beggars couldn't be choosers, though, so they simply swallowed any kind of criticism they had and trailed behind their leader.

"Excuse me, Miss. I'd like to lodge a Group Room for my party." Adonis approached the receptionist with such ease and confidence, almost as if he had done this a million times.

Honestly, most people in the shoes of his classmates would have displayed shockconsidering how they were all strangers in this place.

However, everyone present was already used to Adonis being this way.

He always knew just what to do in every situation, and his ability to act on the spot was unrivaled. After displaying this skill so many times on Earth, and even when they were transported to this strange land, many people weren't surprised any longer.

The guy was just a genius.

"What Capacity would you like? We have"

"Maximum Capacity." He said, cutting her short, though not in a rude manner. "Is that available?"

"Yes. That will be 10 Bronze Coins a night, plus free breakfast in the morning."

Many students marveled at the price of their residence for one night. They expected it to be a lot more expensive, considering what they were used to in the Capital.

Even the cheapest Inn cost a little more than what they were getting for a room that had maximum capacity.

They even added free meals for everyone to the mix.

Considering how the Adventurers City was as much a hub of activities as the Capital was, and it generated quite an ample sum of national revenue, one would have expected things to be expensive here.

But, they were ridiculously cheap.

That just went to show the disparity that existed the further South one went in the map. Since the Adventurers City was up North, the cost of living wasas expectedrelatively low.

"Thank you, Miss." Adonis slightly bowed his head in courtesy and paid the money.

The young lady behind the counter instantly blushed, and even the others who weren't attending to them started whispering to themselves while giggling.

Once again, the students were reminded of just how charming Adonis was.

Perhaps it was because they saw him so often, they had gotten desensitized to his captivating handsomeness.

Even with his disguise, which only aged him up to a mature age, he looked very splendid.

"Come on, guys." Adonis turned away from the desk and dangled the keys in front of his classmates. "Let's go."

A few students exchanged knowing stares and threw their hands in the air while laughing to themselves.

"As expected of our Hero"
