Erix chuckled nervously when he heard Salvador's remark. He hadn't expected the guy he fought to be the same guy who had beaten up Salvador.If he was able to beat that guy, it meant he was now stronger than Salvador or had the same strength as him, which he hadn't expected to happen so soon.'If I was able to beat that guy, that means I'm now stronger than Salvador, isn't it?' Erix thought, almost excited.'I don't think that's true. Power level is usually not the best way to evaluate strength. You may have beaten that kid, but there's still no guarantee that you'd be able to do it with Salvador. If I'm correct, Salvador was defeated by that kid only because he was outnumbered. That kid wasn't the only one who attacked Salvador back then. Add to that the fact that he had already burned a considerable number of calories from fighting others before he took up the fight against him. I pointed out these facts to explain to you that power level isn't always the best way to know who is the
After Salvador left, Erix and Rin continued their discussion. But soon Rin needed to rest a bit, so he stopped talking and slept off.Now Erix was alone and could indulge in his thoughts without disturbance. As he was thinking, a thought popped into his head and immediately, he became worried.He hadn't thought of it in time; how could he go about tonight's operation if it wasn't safe to leave the school grounds?That was what he was worried about. He must carry out this operation to be ready for whatever would come his way tomorrow. His blood bank was empty and the same would be said for his HP. He wasn't feeling the effect of a low HP only because he had a lot of demon energy inside his body right now. Getting into a fight right now would be extremely dangerous; because one or two hits might actually result in his death.Quito would most likely want Rin to carry out the plan he had concocted tomorrow. The exams were only a few days away, so he needed to execute his plan before it w
Rin was finally on his way to answer Quito's call. He set out as soon as 8:00 p.m. struck on the clock.However, before he set out, he contacted Orah to make sure that everything was okay from his side. The feedback he got from him was positive, so he set off without worrying about anything that would happen.Well, even if Orah didn't come with him, he was pretty confident that he could protect himself. He's much stronger than last time. At least now he would have enough strength to take on a few of them.The nature of his ability would also automatically give him the upper hand in any fight he got into. 'You would have to stabilize yourself on the ground first before you could perform any form of attack or anything like that, but if you lost your balance, you would have a hard time picking yourself up.'This concept gave Rin some confidence that he had the upper hand. Well, in the end, that was only an impression, so he still needed to be careful.As Rin was about to leave, Shota had
In the hallway, Erix decided to go over the messages that had appeared in his field of vision while he was in the room.The system rewarded him with a boot called the Light-wind boots that would increase his speed and agility. This reward came as a great surprise to him.As if the system knew what he needed to solve the problem before him, it rewarded him with speed-increasing Boots.Not only were the Boots good and increased stats, but they also came with an impressive active ability.This was actually the first time the system gave him a weapon with an active ability, although his Tigclaw had an active ability (special skills), just that it wasn't accessible to him yet.Before he left his room, the system asked him if he wanted to keep his boots a little more hidden.Erix agreed to this offer, and so the boots disappeared into thin air.'Does that mean that every weapon in the system's arsenal will have an active ability, like the boots and gauntlet?' Thought Erix, obviously excited
'Get ready, Erix. I think some people are after you.' Lena sounded a little anxious as she notified Erix.Erix, who already knew something like this could happen, wasn't the least bit surprised.'Even inside the school grounds, they're already following me, how nice,' Erix muttered subconsciously.[Light wing boots activated.]At that moment, a pair of black boots settled over Erix's leg.'Wow, I feel more nimble than usual.' Erix got the impression, and it wasn't a lie.The boot wasn't just meant to change the user's speed. It also improves the agility of the person wearing it.'Feels so good, doesn't it?''Yes. I love it. I feel like I'm floating. My whole body feels lighter than ever before. These boots are unique, to be honest,' Erix responded.'He feels that way, even though the active ability isn't yet activated. Maybe he'll start to understand how great the boots are if he uses them when the active ability is activated,' Lena said not to Erix's hearing.To Erix, she was just mut
[You have received an unmerited favor.][An unmerited favor pass was used][Unmerited favor pass: 1 left]Erix smiled with fulfillment when he saw those messages. This only means that he succeeded in commanding Mira to kill herself.Looking at Mira's face, she seemed expressionless, without any form of emotion. She was no longer herself. Erix's order was the only thing on her mind at the moment.'I think you should leave now. The guy is just a few steps from your back,' Lena suggested.'Okay, I'm assuming that the moment I leave here, she'll immediately carry out my order.''Yes. In fact, you're the reason why she hasn't killed herself yet. The moment you leave here now, she'll immediately do as you ordered,' Lena elucidated.'Alright, I'll go.'The boy was just right behind him, so he decided to follow the path ahead.'I'm sure he'll follow me as soon as he catches a glimpse of me. I sure will lure him out into the woods and finish him off there.'Just as he had planned, the boy spott
As Rin had been instructed, he set out for the third-year dormitory immediately after the 8:00 p.m. bell rang.When he arrived, he looked for a good place to stay and waited for Quito's men to pick him up.While waiting outside the dormitory, he tried to get organized as best he could before meeting Quito.He did not want Quito to notice anything strange in his behavior, so he tried as best he could to keep his emotions in check.Rin thought he had gotten over the terror caused by what had happened that night. That was his thought until it dawned on him after arriving at the place he was to go that he still had those fears inside him.What had happened the night of his first encounter with Quito had been the most traumatic moment of his life.The anguish he experienced that night was still deeply embedded in his heart and mind.He tried to remind himself that he had been tortured back then for refusing to accept their order, but now things were different. He had agreed to work for them
Erix was overjoyed at the sight of the messages before his eyes. After fulfilling the promise he had made to the deceased girl, he instantly leveled up, which was a shock to him.He hadn't expected that fulfilling a promise would result in such a great reward.Not only that, but he also earned 500 points after killing Mira and the boy. That was good progress for him.When he remembered that only a few level-ups were separating him from his main Quest, he wanted to cry out in joy.'By the looks of it, I might reach level 10 before next week,' Erix thought cheerfully.'Maybe. But have you taken a look at your status screen to see how many exp you need for your next level up?' Lena asked.'Nope, I'll do that later. Anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a million exp for my next level up,' Erix replied casually.Looking at the corpse next to him, he was surprised at what the boy's body now looked like.Although the boy had only been hit by five fireballs, his body looked as if he had had
