Everyone had different reactions after watching this fight. Both opponents were formidable and some contestants got fired up while others lost hope of winning and just wanted to do what they could.Most ‘MCs’ would show the former but Art was among the latter. He knew very well that he could not go all out and without that, there was no way he could win. Even going all out wouldn't make his victory certain. ‘What makes you think you’re the MC,’ his guide’s voice said clearly in his mind.“Well, I think that's pretty obvious. I’m the one who got reincarnated and I have the system,” he said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone causing her to release a sigh.‘You really are dense.’“That was an insult right?”‘Of course not. It's just fact.’Just what was he expecting? “Aren't you supposed to be my biggest supporter?” he shook his head in disappointment.‘But I am,’ she retorted. “Yeah, 'cause I look dumb right?” he meant that as a sign of his disbelief but she took it another way.‘Yes.’ S

“Huh?” Art noticed as two girls distanced themselves further when going past him.He let out a disappointed sigh. ‘Looks like you’ve done it.’“I guess so, maybe I should’ve stopped a little earlier……… Just joking.”If his guide has eyes she would’ve rolled them.“Just hope it doesn’t cause any problems later on. Arghhh! It’s all their fault,” he groaned in annoyance. If JV and Chucky were here they would’ve coughed out blood.A similar thing happened when he met some of his fellow Vons. They kept staring at him like he was an alien. Some even tried to get friendly. Such a joke.This was how things usually works as everyone would love to make friends with powerful or potentially powerful people. ‘So do you plan on winning the contest?’“Winning? Nah! That would just draw attention to me and the life I’m going to live from now on doesn’t need something like that. It’s not as though I’m aspiring to go to the Royal Academy by all means and besides, even if I wanted to win, I don’t thin

Lidia had cast mana skin around her body so her overall performance was going to increase.He didn't know how to use it yet, so he seemed to have been put at a disadvantage.“Haaaa!!” she exclaimed while rushing forward to him. After their weapons made contact he could tell that her strength was now as much as his which didn't sit well with him so he added two more free stats to his strength, raising it slightly. She noticed this after exchanging several more attacks.‘But how?’ she leaped back distancing herself wondering if he wasn't going all out which worried her.Art was the one who advanced this time. His sword moved toward her neck which she repositioned her great sword to block but contact was never made. Just as it was about to happen, he let go of his sword and as it fell, he used his leg to kick it back to his other hand and after he gripped it he thrust it towards her shoulder.This was an unusual and unexpected move, happening very quickly so it was something that she

After a few hours of resting, he regained a decent amount of energy, so he decided to go meet his father. ‘What would you have done if she confessed her feelings?’ his guide asked.“Why bring that up now?” He stood up from his bed which pleasingly didn’t lose out to that in the mansion.‘Because I thought you would’ve brought it up, so I waited. Only to be reminded how boring you are,' her voice was laced with disappointment.“I doubt that I’m boring. Maybe you’re the one with the problem here and as for your question. Hmmm……..” he gave it some thought. “Since she’s been sincerely helping me out since I got here, I would have avoided giving her a direct answer.” ‘You see. Boring,' she let out a sigh.After quickly freshening up, he walked out of his room into the hallway. Even though this was his first time being here, he already knew where he needed to go and how to get there.His room was at the end of the hallway and there weren’t any other doors showing that he was the only one

Art was seated on the bed of his room with a big smile while looking at the things also laying with him which had just been delivered.They were orb shaped with different colours.Yes, these were E and F-rank mana cores.This was the first request he made to his father. He was still lacking magically than them and from using attributes to controlling his true weapon, he needed to improve.So he asked his father for a mixture of E and F-rank mana cores numbering up to a hundred.If he was to ask for D-rank cores or more than that amount, he would be forced to state his reason for needing them and even his father would look at him differently if he found out that he could drain mana from objects. Besides, from what his guide had told him, he doubted that he would be able to drain from anything D-rank and above. He would be using this for now.With a thought, his status appeared before him.
