It was the middle of the night, the first day William felt something was genuinely amiss with what happened.
After most of the day was spent dealing with the School Board snoops that came over and visited during his time in the Medical area with false pleasantries, a bunch of little brown nosers trying to get credit for reporting back on his condition.
Knowledge System: Full Scan Complete. 72 Virus Quarantine in the vault. 231 eliminated, report complete.
"Tch!" The 231 eliminated viruses; he could barely make heads or tails out of what they were from. 'Has to be from the bites and scratches. At least I gained a little Mana from them getting taken care of, the same as when I helped my students. But the 72 Quartine ones..'
William was not strong enough to get rid of them outright safely. If not for the fact his laptop and other backpack items existed inside him currently, there would be a big problem, or he would be dead by now.
'If I can just get t
Coordinator Bailey finally acted and guided her students. Not forgetting to harvest the crystals but she actually used some of her Blood Energy to keep him stable with the others while giving orders."Well, he almost got it right. Accept Kimberely is dead." The Health Student smiled as she explained to the others. "Kimberely was my older sister. She was engaged to William's cousin Bertrand. That was years ago, though...."A small twinkle was noticeable if you paid attention to he left eye. Whether it was harmful to William or beneficial to him remained to be seen in the future."Then his memory might have been stirred by recent events." Coordinator Bailey rubbed her chin before focusing on finishing the procedure at hand. "Keep this quiet from everyone. Unless you want trouble, you can't get yourself out of."The students said nothing as they followed orders..Waking Up-.William woke up just before the sun rose. Not op
The class was going on fine and dandy for the last month. Not a single issue popped up until today. The Kingdom was attacked by its neighbor over a Mineral Dispute. The escalation was pretty quick. With the previous tension with the neighboring kingdom, an attack was bound to happen. This was just a precursor to full war members on both sides were looking for. Mostly for gaining benefits for possible threatening issues with increasing Mana Beasts situations. As long as the stronger Mana Users were not in play, the situation would be fine for the general populace. A sort of power checkmate to keep from escalating the situation. The Draft came around pretty damn quick. Faster than any that happened in William's previous Dimension. Not to critical in the criteria either. Able bodies with no promising future were snatched up. Those with money and a fair enough education were able to dodge the draft. "Student Teacher William," the Healer Coordinator of all people came to him personally
The Kingdom was quite fast in the deployment of forces. Less than a day and William with several were at the engagement zone. The benefit of not having de-escalated the forces from previous matters already.The Kingdom was slowly turning back into a Military State and Mindset.William was in a full suit of armor the same as the others in the squad he was assigned to. A mixture of 2nd Years to 8th Year students.The Health Coordinator, Bailey had provided him with some basic swords fro use. Not showing favoritism to him or any other in the group with special equipment. Literally just grabbing them from a truck while William was securing provisions for the squad itself to make sure it went well.The fact she trusted him to carry it out tipped the former Lancaster Noble ti her having looked into his background some. The Lancasters were known to have a good handle of Logistics in wartime and out of it.William mostly relied on what he knew from the Mod
The mana Beasts he dealt with were plentiful but thankfully weak. He found after most of the fighting and checking some bite marks that Venom didn't affect him. Didn't even trigger the Virus Protection or anything like that for his Computer.'Over 13 bites, and nothing. Is it because of my body is so high or because of the Ghoul Mana Beast mana essence I absorbed by the Rat?' William cut down the last of the Vipers taking out the Toxin Sacs while recovering. 'The movement skill needs more work and is not really better than my Body's output itself.'More and more traits were showing for him to become a Body Type Cultivator with the other 2 of the 3 that makes a person stay a grade under it. He still needed to wait for more to really determine since resources will shrink in the future without a lot of funds.Taking out the Bowl from the Dungeon and mixing the Venom Sacs in, he followed the same method as what he learned for the Flesh and Bodies. The bubbling orang
Running was getting to him now. The injuries were starting to bother him. Running smack dab into a patrol for another group was the biggest mistake in moving about so far."Nope!" William darted off the side but not before sending up another flare. If the other members didn't make it towards the mine yet they better hurry the hell up. Passing a few dead soldiers scattered about, it wasn't difficult to gain hold of them for personal use. 'No more cover and now this!'"We have a real prize here!" An enemy soldier said with glee. "A former Seatholder out on his own!" The odds of someone recognizing him as low, but not impossible. Especially with the camouflage of mud and dirt mostly blown and sweated off."Such a shitty way to address someone!" Swinging his arm with the momentum of the run, William downed at least one before he was forced to confront the others. "I am not the best anymore, but I won't go down nicely!"Knowledge System: Overclock Enable
It was a few hours later when the situation became viable to make moves. Some griped the traitors should all be killed or forced to charge forward into the enemy.The few enemy soldiers captured were well behaved for now. Which caused William to wonder if anyone was coming to save them or if they were marked like the armor and gear he had before.It would be a simple logical decision to have someone tucked away with a tracker by the higher-ups."It is up to us what we do Coordinator Bailey." William leaned against the support in the tent looking like a wreck. "The mine entrance has collapsed and the ones there are hopefully burnt up.""We should meet up with another group to increase mission success. Our injured are to many in number." Her second advised quickly. "With a part of the mine sealed, the enemy can not raid it as easy. Once we group up with another squad we can make sure."Health Coordinator Bailey looked amongst those she had and regret
Knowledge System: Body Pillar Realm Rank XII achieved. Overall increase in Blood Energy. Storage Capacity increased by 6. Terrabytes. Mental Pillar Realm Rank V achieved. 2% increase in understanding of Palm Techniques. Soul Pillar Realm Rank XII achieved. Body, Mind, Soul Energy increased."Thanks." William got up shaking the grim off. Coordinator Bailey having a look of astonishment looking down at her hands. Finger flexing in a weird way. "What is it?""Whatever you study has helped me improve." Her mouth closing repeadetly like a fish out of water. "With how your apertures work with the various energies inside, I found myself increasing in strength and understanding. How did you do it?"The woman wouldn't come out and say it, but William's value just increased a large margin."By constantly circulating my mana I guess. I mean all my techniques are at the Akademy to use. I also engage with my students." It wasn't a li
William was a few miles away and only felt more worried about the stream of Essences turning into Mana that started to condense thicker. Running none stop and cultivating was just not in the cards to do smartly. But at least his movement technique grew leaps and bounds.Knowledge System: Talkback Feature enabled Satelite Uplink connected. Autoconnect Incoming transmission...William stopped in place due to pure surprise."William.. Claire... Pete.." The breaking of the voice ended once he moved a little to the left. A quick check to the connection level revealed it had increased two full bars. "..anyone respond.""This... this is Dr.William, I have no idea where the others are. Neither if they have any working gear. In fact.." Looking down at the bomb that was made of stone and glowing Glyphs, he was still trying to figure out how it worked in regards to his computer. "... I am barely surviving now. Attacked by hostiles in great number."A bi
