While pondering, a group of vibrant young girls turned the corner and walked alongside him, laughing and chatting all the way.
It was unclear if it was intentional or a coincidence, but their walking speed matched Ren Zhong's, and they walked alongside him for quite a while as he returned to the classroom.
Ren Zhong didn't intentionally eavesdrop, but he still caught every word of the lively conversation the group was having.
Their topics ranged far and wide, discussing the latest TV dramas, some brand's new facial cleanser, and where another high-rank Ruined Beast had appeared.
Unlike the fearful attitude towards Ruined Beasts among the wild people, these girls showed not a hint of dread when talking about high-rank Ruined Beasts. Instead, they were full of interest, as if discussing a fascinating mirage.
As they entered the teaching building, Ren Zhong slightly quickened his pace, leaving the girls behind.
