“Ahem… Class, it appears that we’ve arrived at the stopping point of our lesson for today. I wish you all best of luck in your future studies. Ms Enjoy will see you out. Don’t forget to collect the extra learning materials before you leave.”“Thank you very much for instructing us, teacher Shao Lin!” The students gave their proper gratitude to the old master before leaving.Elder Shao Lin made sure to reciprocate their kind gesture. “Take care. I look forward to our next lesson together. Those who are interested in choosing Word Mage as their main mastery will receive further instructions in the near future.”“Alright, Elder Shao Lin. Goodbye for now.” Teacher Enjoy gave a respectful bow before turning to leave with her students.Unlike Ms Ever Moist’s prompt practical introductory lesson, Elder Shao Lin’s lecture was more informative, visually entertaining and also satisfying. Dam Son discovered that out of all of his introductory lessons thus far, he had learnt more from Elder Shao
“I will defeat these Paper Golems by performing a personalized skillset called, Dojo Ramping. Observe carefully as I walk you through its method of execution. First, you need to acquire the right balance.” The automated teaching dummy took an empowering stance with its arms positioned forwards. Later, it called forth a level-1 Guide for assistance.“That dummy can also make use of a Guide.” Babe Blade was slightly astonished. “Whoever built it must be an adept Wordsmith.” He flicked open his paper folding fan with vigour, using it to cool his sweating face. “Gosh, this place is so hot.”“Hm…?” Xuan Li glanced at Babe Blade and thought to himself, ‘Why is he still even here?’ As for Sugar Bun and Dam Son, they kept a close eye on what the automated teaching dummy did next.“Second instruction, the timing of script assimilation must be done correctly. The level of effect also depends on the area of application. Do observe.” After this utterance, the teaching dummy dashed towards the ass
Dam Son accompanied by his newly acquainted classmates was surfing the air currents of visible wind towards a towering mountain peak in the northeast region of Raixom Academy. Their destination was none other than the very same residence of Jin Hennessy.Though he received definite proof earlier, Xuan Li was still sceptical of Dam Son’s prowess. “Hey, we’ve come a long way from Caromine Institute. Are you sure that there is a powerful Word Fu Master dwelling on that mountain peak?”“I told you already, didn’t I? That mountain is where he resides. I’m not sure if he’s still there at this hour, but it doesn’t hurt to look. Come on!” Dam Son accelerated his sapphire suitcase’s velocity.“Don’t leave me behind!” Sugar Bun sped up his aerial script to catch up with Xuan Li and Dam Son.In the late afternoon, they arrived at an expansive mountain range where a towering stairway was present. Dam Son led them directly to the top.At that very moment, Jin Hennessy was madly searching his shed
“Woah!” As he fell, Xuan Li tried his best to regain control of his body by twisting through the air adroitly. Though his mind was still befuddled as to how he got knocked into the air, he knew that Jin Hennessy had something to do with it.“You old drunk! I’ll beat you to a bloody pulp!” Xuan Li allowed his anger to cloud his judgment. Due to the humiliation that he suffered, he wasn’t able to grasp the full extent of Jin Hennessy’s abilities. Obviously, Dam Son was already aware of his unfathomable strength, also, Sugar Bun was starting to realize this. Xuan Li was the only one who refused to acknowledge it. Thus he summoned his Guide apace, moreover, getting ready to launch a follow-up assault.[Basic Word Fu Script: Flowering Wave] (Activated) -10(MAPL)Xuan Li hurriedly assimilated with his most accustomed Word Fu Script. Using its amplified gifts, he commenced his attack. “Guiding Water Stance, 3rd Form. Aerial Roundhouse!”A frightful amount of twirling wetness comprised of co
“Ok, we’ll leave here.” Said Dam Son suddenly. His classmates were surprised by his compliance to retreat. “Come on you two, let us go.” As he prepared to leave, Dam Son secretly took out a special Noun Script from within his inner garment and pretended to have dropped it. “Oh, no! It slipped!”“Huh?” Sugar Bun caught on to Dam Son’s theatrics and assisted him. “Hey, be careful with that. How could you let such a precious item slip away from you? Quickly, retrieve it!”“Right!” Dam Son gave chase to the Noun Script which coincidentally landed near Jin Hennessy’s feet. “Old mister, could you catch that paper for me. The wind up here is really strong.”“Fhm…” Jin Hennessy scoffed at Dam Son’s ridiculous clumsiness. “You fool. Can’t even keep hold of a simple Noun Script.” He grasped the Noun Script with his toes, moreover, flipped it into his hand. “Take it and leave, brat... Huh?”As he handed the Noun Script over to Dam Son, Jin Hennessy glimpsed the contents that were written on it a
After chugging down several more bottles of tasty wine, Jin Hennessy stored the rest in his liquor shed and gave face to his newly accepted disciples. “So you brats are still here?”“Of course, we are, master. Now that you’ve accepted us as disciples. Please instruct us!”“Very eager I see.” Jin Hennessy thought to himself as he observed his new disciples, ‘These damn brats are so annoyingly mischievous. I can’t believe that I was swayed into accepting them. This is all that damn brat’s fault.’ He gave bad eyes to Dam Son. ‘I should have never taught him the basics of Natural Verb Force. Now he has brought further nuisance to my doorsteps. I haven’t forgotten about those dangerous figures who trespassed onto my mountain for the sake of finding the Kismet Coin which that brat has stolen. He has turned me into an accomplice goddammit! I should be living my retirement in peace. Why do I have to be nurturing these brats? On the bright side, I will be regularly supplied with free liquor. S
“What is so important that you wish to speak with me alone, Master Jin?” Coming into Jin Hennessy’s abode, Dam Son was directed to sit by a table where he would be comfortable.“Listen well to what I’m about to tell you brat.” Jin Hennessy joined Dam Son around the table while sipping on his bottle of wine. He took a few gulps, wiped his mouth clean of alcoholic beverage then gave his lips to Dam Son’s keen ears. “This morning shortly after you left, several no-good characters showed up out of nowhere on my mountain peak. Are you listening?”“I am, Master Jin.”“Those men are members of the infamous Vage Gang that is hidden somewhere within Raixom Academy. They are a bunch of unscrupulous characters, one you don’t want to entertain.”Dam Son asked curiously, “Why did they visit you, Master Jin?”“Why do you think brat?” Jin Hennessy gave Dam Son a dark glare. “They were obviously after that damn Kismet Coin that you stole from them.”“What?” Dam Son touched his head in amazement. “So
Bright and early in the morning, 4 figures were gathered at the nadir of Jin Hennessy’s mountain. They were Dam Son, Sugar Bun, Xuan Li and of course Jin Hennessy. Behind them was a long flight of stairs comprised of 70,000 steps leading to the peak of the mountain. Each student stood beside 3 large empty containers which measured 1 ½ metre in length and a diameter of 3 feet. These items were essential to their imminent training.“Okay, you damn brats! Wipe that sleep out of your eyes and get ready to increase your stamina!” Jin Hennessy shouted through a folded Noun Script he had placed near his mouth. “Today’s training will be mountain climbing. You see those stairs behind you?” He gestured to the endless flight of stairs that seemed to have disappeared beyond the fog above.“We see it, Master Jin.” Dam Son and the others felt slightly threatened as they stared up at the mountain peak, it was extremely high. They could already tell what their master had in store for them.Sugar Bun
After a hard day of training, Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun washed their bodies clean inside Jin Hennessy’s soothing onsen. This was the first time he had ever allowed them to bathe there, this meant he was beginning to warm up to them despite his abrasive demeanour.Finished washing up, the students got dressed then prepare to leave for the Tower of Residence. Coming down the flight of stairs protruding the mountainside, Dam Son conversed with his companions about the perks of their training. Eventually, their conversation shifted to something else.“Did you guys hear about the new arcade that recently opened up in the adjoining complex of the Page Coliseum?”“I knew that long before you did, turtle.”“This is the first time I’m hearing about it.” Dam Son was clueless. “What is an arcade?”Sugar Bun answered. “It’s a cool place that has lots of fun games to play. Recently it has turned into the new hotspot for bored students. A fellow classmate told me that the arcade has imported u
On his way outside the laboratory, Dam Son walked by a dark-robed stranger who glanced at him menacingly. “Ouch, my head.” He felt a slight pain emerging from his forehead but it subsided the moment he went by the dark-robed man.“Hmm…” The dark-robed man stopped at the laboratory’s entrance to stare back at Dam Son’s fading presence. Looking down at the Blue Kismet Coin in his palm, he thought internally, ‘Did my coin just react out of impulse just now or…?’ Not lingering too much on what he felt earlier, the dark-robed man entered the laboratory.“Huh?” Turning his head to identify the intrusive presence, Vor Eyes recognized who it belonged to, “Brother your back? One of these days you’re going to give me a heart attack if you continue sneaking up on me like that.”Getting straight to the point, Tor Eyes asked his little brother, “Who was that kid I saw coming out just now?”“Oh, that’s the friend I spoke to you about last night, remember?”“Friend? Is he a classmate of yours?”“No,
Finished aligning the refined Mundane Letters in their respective chambers, Vor Eyes step aside so that Dam Son could admire their beauty. “So, what do you think about the refinement procedure, wasn’t it fun?”“Indeed it was. Watching you go to work like that was even better to look at. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to get so good at refining Mundane Cores.”Vor Eyes blushed, “It didn’t take me that long to learn. How about you Dam Son, want to try? I have more Mundane Cores chilling in the refrigerator.”Dam Son pondered Vor Eyes' offer for a while before he answered, “You bet I would. I came here with that reason in mind after all.”“Okay!” Vor Eyes became excited to instruct his new friend. “I’m going to go grab another one from the refrigerator. You can get settled around the desk until I get back.”“Alright.” Dam Son motioned closer towards the workbench. As he was about to sit down, his sapphire suitcase became all tingly. “Suit, what’s the matter?” It responde
Vor Eyes workstation had a particular beauty to it that impressed Dam Son. It wasn’t that big but it had enough space to accommodate certain essential equipment needed for Wordsmiths to flourish. By the main desk was an array of newly developed booklets seamlessly intertwined with a series of portable Arcane Baths. Many thick tubes connected to these booklets ran directly into a larger immovable Arcane Bath located in the centre of the workstation. That was where the finished creation would usually emerge.As he began the process of walking Dam Son through the refining of Raw Mundane Letters, Vor Eyes elaborated on the various tools, tips & trades he would be utilizing. He went over to a storage cabinet where Raw Mundane Letters were being refrigerated. “This is what they actually look like before processing.”“Wow, interesting. I’ve never seen one this close up before.” After Vor Eyes brought the Raw Mundane Letter closer, Dam Son admired it closely. It was comprised of a spherical g
The fiery rock monster no longer terrorised Raixom Academy’s central hub due to the combined efforts of 4 valiant students. Later that night, Dam Son along with the rest of his classmates were all released from Raixom Academy Campus Station after being subjected to a series of questioning. The head of the guards was an intimidating individual who knew how to squeeze the correct answers from those he interrogated. This being Vor Eyes' first offence, they allowed him to walk with a proper warning.“Guys, you’re finally out.” Coming outside, Dam Son and the others who were previously held captive saw Sugar Bun and Trish waiting for them at the entrance. “What took you all so long?”“Cut the chitchat Trish. We’re heading back.” Cinder Burn led the way for her crew. Together, the Leaf Widows journeyed to the Tower of Residence.Sugar Bun went over to Xuan Li and asked, “So, how did it go inside?”“Tsk, they asked us a bunch of annoying questions. It’s a good thing you didn’t join us earlie
The fiery rock monster that was wreaking havoc on the central marketplace became more vicious in its onslaught. Aside from spitting molten rocks everywhere, it fed on the earth’s surface by combining with the rocky properties to increase its size. Now it was towering over 50 metres long.“Rock Fan, stop it! You’re destroying my place of study!” A concerned stubby boy sporting 4 sets of monocles on his face came rushing towards the fiery rock monster with a particular device in his hand that hosted a portable Arcane Bath. He constantly tapped the moist interface, trying to get his invention to respond.“No! No! No! It’s not responding. The link must have gotten cut off somehow.” The boy looked worried. “What should I do? If the campus guards get here before I can stop Rock Fan’s malfunctioning behaviour then they will destroy its core. I can’t allow that to happen.” The boy couldn’t wait for his invention to be obliterated. He decided to take matters into his own hands to curtail the d
The rematch involving Dam Son and Cinder Burn ended in the garden. Cinder Burn emerged the victor, yet she was still displeased by the outcome. “My thirst for vengeance won’t be satiated until I defeat that kid I suppose.” Finally, she withdrew her foot from Dam Son’s chest; allowed him to get up then walked away toward her friends.“It’s about time. I thought you were going to stand on me forever.” Saying this, Dam Son helped himself up from the ground. At the same time, his friends came over to assist him.“I knew you were going to lose. There was no way you could beat that girl in your weakened state.” Sugar Bun checked Dam Son’s body for injuries, “You’re not badly injured are you?”“I can manage.” Dam Son was hurting pretty badly but he shrugged it off as nothing.“I can’t believe you came out of that unscathed, your toughness is truly amazing.” Xuan Li also assisted Dam Son to his feet.Smilingly, Dam Son replied, “I survived because she went easy on me. It appears both of us we
Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun were on their way to the Tower of Residence to get cleaned up after a hard day of training. They were walking through the streets completely soaked in the nutritious water from the Sea of Verbs.“Whew, Master Jin really knows how to work us to a tired tail.” Sugar Bun sighed. He felt more haggard when he reflected on the arduous training he had just been through.“At least the geezer gave us a break this time around. It wasn’t as hard as the mountain climbing training.” Though he was also tired, Xuan Li was excited to have learnt the very basics of manifesting Natural verb Force. “The fish training wasn’t all that bad.”“You’re only saying that because you’ve reaped a lot of benefits.” Dam Son told him. “So what if did? Soon I will surpass you Dark-Human, so you better prepare yourself.”“I don’t view that as a problem, surpass all you want.” Saying this, Dam Son willingly slowed his speed to allow Xuan Li to walk ahead of him.“Hey, what do you think y
Within Caromine Institute at the Word Augmenter training facility, Ms Ever Moist was educating Cinder Burn about the fundamentals of successfully manifesting Nounal force. They trained side by side each other mimicking each other’s movements. So far, Cinder Burn was grasping a little of the basics.Nounal Force was quite similar to Natural Verb Force. Both of them were innate elements that stemmed from a certain increase and influx of a Word Master’s inherent Letter Force. What separated the two are their structural application. In short, Natural Verb Force mostly involves manifestation around the body while Nounal Force has to do with boosting a weapon’s capabilities. Trying to crisscross the two would result in an unstable result of element pronunciation.“I think I’m getting the hang of it now.” Cinder Burn followed each step taught to her by her teacher. While rousing a partial property of her Letter Force, she maintained her focus on the Augmented Weapon. Moments later, she began
