Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595 133.3 - Picking up clothes ?

"Hmm…..This is not bad."

Maya took one final look at herself in the mirror, her reflection staring back with quiet determination. She had carefully chosen her outfit—a soft cream-colored cropped sweater paired with a sleek black skirt, the simplicity of the look balanced by the subtle elegance of her accessories.

Her lavenderish purple hair framed her face perfectly, and her golden bracelets added just enough of a sparkle to catch the eye without being overbearing. It was an outfit that was both casual and refined, a deliberate choice as they were going out to the city.

But there was more to it than just dressing for the occasion—she wanted to impress him.

She smoothed out a wrinkle in her skirt, adjusting the small details as her thoughts briefly wandered to Astron. He had a way of staying composed, always focused and collected, but that didn't stop her from wanting to stand out in his eyes. A small smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she turned to leave the room, feeling both confident and a little nervous.

"My lady, you look beautiful enough," her attendant said softly, offering a gentle smile as she stood behind Maya.

Maya turned to face her, a playful glint in her eyes. "Really?" she asked, though she knew the answer already.

The attendant nodded with sincerity. "Absolutely, my lady. Everything is perfect, and I believe it would be hard for anyone to resist your charm now. Surely, he will be no different."

Maya chuckled softly, her nerves easing just a little. "I suppose we'll see, then," she said, the faintest trace of excitement in her voice. She took a final glance at herself in the mirror before gracefully turning on her heel and heading for the door. "Thank you," she added as she left, her heart fluttering with the anticipation of the day ahead.

As she made her way to the lounge, where Astron was waiting, her mind raced with thoughts of how the day would unfold. When she reached the entrance, she paused briefly, taking a calming breath before stepping into the room.

Astron was standing by the window, dressed casually yet managing to look effortlessly elegant. His usual calm, reserved demeanor was present, and while his clothes were simple, there was something about the way he carried himself that made him appear... dazzling. Or maybe it was just her perception of him. Either way, the sight of him caused her pulse to quicken just slightly.

"Did you wait for long?" she asked, her voice light and casual as she approached.

Astron turned his head toward her, his violet eyes briefly scanning her from head to toe. For the smallest fraction of a second, his normally stoic expression shifted—a flicker of something, maybe surprise or appreciation, crossed his face. But just as quickly, he composed himself, his features returning to their usual calm.

"No," he said, his voice steady. "I didn't wait long."

Maya smiled, feeling a bit of satisfaction at that brief reaction, however small. "Well, let's get going, then," she said, motioning toward the door. "There's so much to see in the city, and I have a few places I'm excited to show you."

Astron nodded, following her out of the lounge as they prepared for the day ahead.

As they made their way toward the airship hangar, the cool morning breeze carried a sense of excitement and anticipation. The towering trees of the Evergreen estate cast long shadows on the path, their leaves rustling softly as Maya and Astron walked in comfortable silence. The faint hum of the airship's engine could already be heard in the distance, signaling that their ride was ready.

As they made their way toward the airship hangar, the cool morning breeze carried a sense of excitement and anticipation. The towering trees of the Evergreen estate cast long shadows on the path, their leaves rustling softly as Maya and Astron walked in comfortable silence. The faint hum of the airship's engine could already be heard in the distance, signaling that their ride was ready.

When they arrived at the hangar, the sleek, elegant design of the Evergreen family's private airship stood out against the backdrop of the sky. It was a vessel befitting their status—polished to perfection with intricate patterns decorating its exterior.

The pilot, dressed in the distinguished uniform of the Evergreen household, was already standing by, waiting for them. He gave a respectful bow as they approached. "Everything is ready, my lady," he said formally, his voice carrying a hint of pride. "We can depart as soon as you're aboard."

Maya smiled and nodded. "Thank you. We'll board right away."

They stepped onto the airship, the interior just as refined as its exterior, with plush seats and soft lighting that created a sense of comfort and luxury. Astron followed her in, his gaze briefly scanning their surroundings, ever composed yet quietly observant.

As soon as they were seated, the pilot closed the hatch, and the airship began to hum louder, preparing for takeoff. Maya glanced out of the large windows, watching as the hangar slowly disappeared from view, replaced by the breathtaking sight of the sprawling forests and hills that surrounded their estate.

The airship rose gracefully into the sky, gliding higher with each passing second. The world below them became a patchwork of greenery and distant mountains, the horizon stretching endlessly before them. The gentle vibrations of the ship's engines created a peaceful ambiance as they ascended into the clear blue sky.

Maya and Astron both peered out of the large window, watching the land below shrink. The view from the ship was unlike any other—a panoramic scene of the vast forests, rivers, and fields that stretched as far as the eye could see. The early morning sunlight cast a soft glow over the landscape, making the world below seem peaceful and distant.

Astron broke the silence first, his voice calm but filled with a subtle curiosity. "Does every piece of land around here belong to your family?"

Maya nodded, a small smile playing at her lips. "Yes, most of it. While there are other families in the region, many of them rent their fields and lands from us. We rarely sell any of our land—it's part of the legacy that's been passed down through generations. The Evergreen family prefers to maintain control over our territories."

Astron's eyes swept over the vast expanse below, taking in the scope of what she had said. "It's like ruling an empire," he remarked, his tone thoughtful.
