After coming up with the idea to make the potion of his dreams, Anderlecht didn't delay any longer. He was busy preparing, concocting, recording, and analyzing everything, so that one hour passed quickly.
Lein, who was sitting not far from him, was starting to feel bored. In the game Malivic World, he didn't even need more than 5 minutes to make a potion. With the help of the system, everything becomes easy because you just mix the ingredients and the system will help you by telling you the uses and side effects, as well as the best handling of it. However, the real world is always painful! Making potions without the help of the system really requires high concentration and perfect dosing.
"Huft! What should I do to get rid of this boredom?"
Lein started surveying his surroundings; looking for things he might be able to do. And, inadvertently, his eyes focused on the old books that were arranged crookedly on the wooden planks; on the left side wall.
"Maybe I can find a fantasy novel there." Lein got up, picked up one of the books at random, then returned to his seat.
"What is the Asfort Family hiding? Hmm, interesting title." In the game Malivic World, Lein doesn't even know the family in question.
Lein began to turn to the first page. Like most books, they will always explain the basics. "Ahh, should I skip the part about the history of the Asfort Family? This feels trivial and boring." Even sections like the entire lineage of the family were written there. The book is more like a history book than a fantasy novel.
Because of that, Lein started flipping through each page randomly, then stopped at page 246. On the sheet, there was a large title at the very top; Asfort Family Sword Technique - Dancing Blade Moon.
Feeling that he found something interesting, Lein started to read it. There it was explained about how the technique from Dancing Blade Moon could split everything. Everything depended on the rhythm of the user's feet when swinging the sword. Obviously, this is a very difficult technique! Just understanding the theory might take him a few months.
Lein read and spent ten pages on that one technique. And, when he came to the end of a word, a notification appeared from the hologram.

This is different from the game Malivic World. To get a certain skill, you have to find a certain quest, complete it, then automatically a skill becomes one of the prizes. That's why the higher the technique, the more difficult the requested quest. However, only by reading and understanding a bit of the mechanics of one skill can you learn it?
"I-isn't this a cheat?"
What if Lein found a thousand different books containing countless secret skills? Can he learn all of the contents of the book easily? Just imagining it made Lein happy. It's worth trying!
Even though it was boring, Lein re-read the entire book so that he received four other notifications from the hologram.

"Since doing quests can gain skills and experience, I never knew there was a limit to learning skills. However, this is enough! Too much can make me puke."
On earth, Lein could only see his character swinging a sword from the computer screen. Imagining him becoming the character himself, how does it feel?
Lein got up from the chair, put the book back where it belonged, then lightly patted Anderlecht on the back while saying, "Do we have sword, Dad?"
"A sword? Of course we have one. Just look under your pants," Anderlecht said with a laugh, before returning to his work.
Serious?! You make that kind of joke on a kid?
"Dad, that's not what I meant, but a real sword!"
"My son, just reading a few books makes you want to imitate what's written there? You've become an active child now! Speaking of real swords, we don't have any. However, you can find wooden swords made by your grandfather in the back storeroom. Actually it suits you much better than a real sword.”
Lein immediately moved towards the door without replying. However, forgetting something, Lein came back into the room and said, "When your potions are ready, don't forget to tell me, Dad. You can find me around the yard."
Anderlecht replied, "All right." Without taking his eyes off the jug.

About 10 meters from the black door, there is a dark room that is only covered by a gray curtain. Lein then opened it, began to rummage through the pile of things consisting of used chairs, jugs with holes, documents, until finally he found an open chest with wooden swords scattered about.
Lein started sorting, trying all of it; swung it around in a few motions, before finally picking one up after finding a match out of it.
Moving around the courtyard, Lein raised his wooden sword; at the same time focused his gaze towards the hologram, and started thinking about one of the sword technique options that were there.
"Dancing Blade Moon."
A moment later, Lein's vision appeared many dots that had thread lines connecting with each other. It formed a pattern, which seemed to force Lein to follow the joints of each of the dots.
Lein swung his sword; follow the direction of each line. One, two, three, four, Lein did it perfectly. However, the fifth move seemed difficult. He had to turn while his sword remained in a vertical line.
"Ah, why does this sword technique feel so beautiful? No wonder there's a moon in the name."
However, before Lein could complete the fifth move, a child's voice from the west made him falter and fall.
"Look at the Andes! After falling from the hill, he really went crazy."
Lein's face immediately boiled and immediately turned towards the source of the sound. "Which brat is interrupting my practice, Bastard?!"
At the same time, a notification appeared from the hologram. TING! [EXP added to Dancing Blade Moon +8]
The sound came from the three boys who caused Andes to fall from the hill. They are Lezzhy, Arman, and Despa. With a trivial expression, Despa continued, "Or maybe the Andes want revenge on you, Lezzhy."Lein who still had a boiling face replied, "Brats like you better leave before I beat your buttocks one by one with my sword." Lein suddenly stopped as he recalled Anderlecht's previous joke; who immediately corrected his sentence, "Mmm... I mean this wooden sword."Hearing that, the three of them couldn't hide their shocked expressions. How could the cowardly Andes dare say such a thing? Is the word from Mr. Sammy; the father of Lezzhy is that right? Then, calling them brats? Is the mirror lin the house not big enough?"It seems that our coward only dared to say that because he was in his yard," said Arman with a trivial expression.Meanwhile, Lezzhy, without waiting for a response from Andes on Arman's statement, said, "Beat our buttocks with that wood? How about we spar? We'll see,
A golden beam entered through the window, hitting Lein's vision, which immediately woke him up. His vision was still blurry, but he still tried to observe what was around him. There is a night lamp made of transparent glass on the right side wall. Not far from it, there is a small dark brown table on which are three potion bottles, each filled with a different color."At first I thought I would wake up from this strange dream. However, it seems like everything I experienced before was a reality!"Lein then sat down. However, the slightest movement made his ribs hurt. Looking down, his entire abdomen was wrapped in a white cloth. Colors that seemed to have come from the potion beside him were seeping from the sore spot.The pain was better than before, but it still hurt a lot. "How could I lose to a little brat?"Remembering how his life on earth was, Lein once won a fight with a fat teenager when he was still in Elementary School. He has also participated in karate competitions and wo
There is one thing Anderlecht hasn't realized about Metamount."Dad, you said earlier that the effect of this potion was only slight, right?""No problem about that. I'll be doing further research to corroborate its effects. For now, what do you think of the potion, Son?" said Anderlecht as he folded his arms and put on a haughty expression. He had succeeded in making a body strengthening potion even though it had little effect. How could he not feel proud about that?"You're wrong, Dad. It's not that it has little effect, but because we are too weak, that it has little effect. If you give this to a high-level magus or swordman, the result will be much different. You should lower the dose of your potion, Dad. This potion is too strong!""Hmm, My Son, don't be too overly concerned about me, this is just an ordinary strengthening potion."How can I convince Anderlecht? Do I need to say that I come from another world who have played games similar to this world thousands of times? Ah, sur
Since birth, Lein lived without knowing his parents. He was first found at the door of the orphanage with a basket and a thin little blanket; naked and cold. I don't know what the reason for those damn parents is, but according to many people's guess, it's because they are still young and far from mature.Because of that, this was a new thing for Lein, the first time he felt the love of a dad. Without realizing it, his love for Anderlecht also appeared at the same time.Lein returned and sat next to Anderlecht's body. He still had the metamount in his hands. That should be enough to make him a little stronger, to at least bring one of the Barbarian race to death with him.However, before Lein could pour the metamount into his mouth, the sound of horseshoes came from the north. It didn't stop there, the sound became more numerous, coming from another direction."Hey, Kid."The voice came from the iron warrior riding on the black one-horned horse. On the warrior's left arm, there was a
It was already another 20 minutes, but Lein's walk was made even more difficult by the many vines that almost filled the surroundings. It didn't quite end there, almost every single one of the plants had tiny, thin spines that couldn't be seen, scratching his skin, causing annoyance to settle in Lein's brain."I feel like I want to kill someone!"Because of that, Lein only had 150 HP left. If he didn't find something that could recover his HP immediately, Lein had to be prepared to accept the fact as the second most ridiculous death in the world!"If only this Metamount had an effect that restores HP. However, every potion must have its drawbacks, and Metamount is no exception. It's definitely the most perfect potion if it has an additional effect like that."Lein could only surrender to face reality. His death seemed only one step away from him. Finding a place for his grave was what Lein would do now. However, his eyes immediately filled with tears when he saw a dark cave in front o
Two months later.Unlucky! Why is it so complicated? Just because a small mistake can destroy everything! I regret not watching the video tutorial before I die.After two hours had passed, Lein took four steps back, surveying the item he made for a few seconds, before finally saying, "Nice, I did it!"After spending weeks learning how to make a large clay jug, Lein finally dropped his body to the ground while looking at the still wet mold of the large jug with a happy expression."Huft! In half a month, the Asmovius Sword and Magic Academy will open. Luckily I finished this large jug in time."After spending a few seconds staring in awe at the large jug he made, Lein got up, then walked towards the well. There, the two koi fish had grown much larger and had been surrounded by many smaller koi fish."You have to come with me! It's time for us to prepare!"However, a notification suddenly appeared from the hologram as if the koi fish was ignoring Lein's words.TING! [All the koi fish ar
The attacking goblins had the skill to analyze the situation very well. When there was a change from the enemy, they would stop all steps and start surveying the entire situation. Because of that, seeing Lein holding a glistening green dagger, as if signaling them that weapon were dangerous, they immediately took a step back.However, they step back was soon stopped when one of them said to the group in goblin language, "How about we just capture that beautiful human and leave after?"That sentence made them brave and reckless. Receiving a small wound shouldn't be a problem if getting a big catch like that.[Language adjusted, on!]The system immediately translated the entire conversation of the goblins, letting Lein know everything, and replied in goblin language, "That's not going to happen, Damn it!"Due to language and communication limitations, humans and monsters kill each other. Not knowing each other's needs and thoughts, causing the war between them to never end and probably w
Arriving in the cave, the three teenagers were amazed by its beauty. The green light that emanated from inside the well, reflected all over the walls, gave off a feeling of deep beauty and serenity.Looking down the well, they find lots of koi fish, which makes George naturally take something out of his bag. "I accidentally took my fish food with me, because the old maid forced me to leave quickly. It looks like it will be useful for these koi fish."His two friends ignored his words and continued walking following Lein's back.In his right hand, George was holding a clear plastic bag filled with dark brown dough-like lumps. He took a pinch of it, then threw it into the well.Instantly, a notification popped up from the hologram floating before Lein's eyes, which immediately made him stop and turn his gaze towards George.TING! [All the koi fish express their gratitude to George. Strength +10 added, Mana +15 added]Looking at the notification and his stats, it was confirmed that the bo
When Lein returned, the other two students were asleep, while George was still sitting on his bed with a worried expression.Previously, George wanted to help out in case Lein acted rashly. However, even before he could take action, Lein disappeared without warning.With his insane speed, it shouldn't be a problem against Abel and his accomplices. However, of course George was still worried if Lein had to fight ten people at the same time.That's why George sat waiting for Lein. It's been 2 hours. If Lein didn't come back in 1 hour, he would tell Abigail everything that happened, and search all over for Lein in Asmovius Magic and Sword Academy.Luckily, Lein returned safely and unharmed. Seeing him, George immediately got up with a happy expression and rushed to Lein."What about your troubles, Andes? Is it over?"Lein could feel warmth from George's question. Does this fat man really think of him as a friend? He's worried about me? This made Lein touched."It's not over yet, but it w
After Lein left, Levon said to the teachers who were behind him."Now, you guys split up to find the whereabouts of that terrible aura. If you find any suspicious traces or people, immediately activate your magic items so that the elite team comes to that location."The teachers all nodded and left in all directions, leaving only Levon, Barayev, Abel, and their accomplices in place."Do you also want to find the whereabouts of the aura, Barayev?" asked Levon who immediately broke the silence.Barayev was not a man who would waste his time on childish games like this. So, the most likely reason for that was because of that terrifying aura."You're right, Old Master Levon. But I'm not interested anymore. That figure must have gone far away, so there's no more reason to waste my time. There is something else that interests me more. If there's nothing else you'd like to ask, good night, Old Master Levon."Barayev then took long strides to leave the venue, but a sound coming from Levon mad
"Old Master Levon?!"Abel and his accomplices were shocked. Why did all these important people appear here? Do they all want to save us?! How touching. This must be due to the influence of the powerful Cyrill Family!"Stop it, Barayev! Do you want to kill a student?!" Levon continued.The aura pressure emitted by Barayev was that of a powerful killing aura. Even Levon, who was far away from him, could feel the terrifying killing intent."Old Master Levon, if I wasn't here, this brat would have killed them all instead. After all, you're too much to call me killing this brat. I just wanted to teach him a little lesson," replied Barayev while lowering the pressure of his aura. Levon was a troublesome person, so he abandoned his intention to take care of Lein. It would be very boring to hear his long lectures.Hearing that, Levon narrowed his eyes. Kill them all?Among them, Levon could see that one of them was the gold token owner's student, Abel Cyrill. Even among gold token owners, Abe
Seeing Barayev, Abel and his accomplices immediately showed expressions of indescribable joy. We are finally safe! That sentence they kept saying in each of their minds."Are you the one they're referring to? The owner of the most feared first seat?" asked Lein in an arrogant tone.Hearing that, Barayev was shocked. This was the first time he had received such disrespectful treatment from someone. Moreover, Lein was only a kid who didn't even have a strong background.People should know that Barayev is highly respected wherever he is. Everyone would try to suck up to him just for the sake of having a good relationship with him. Not infrequently, he received a large gift from a respected family just to spend his time in a short meeting.Then, this presumptuous brat didn't even show a bit of respect towards him? Barayev began to think about teaching Lein a valuable lesson. There are some people you can't offend, Kid!"Oh? How arrogant! Having a bit of strength seems to make you very arr
Abel at this time felt that he had the upper hand. He was currently thinking about what cruel thing he should do to Lein.Just break a few of his fingers? Of course not! He had to break both of Lein's arms afterwards. Ah no! It's still not enough! How about breaking one of his legs? Isn't he a swordsman? How would it be if a Swordsman were without arms and leg? Hahaha, his future has been ruined!Abel was currently laughing heartily in his mind. However, the laughter soon died as he suddenly realized something was wrong.Why is this kid's aura pressure getting heavier?Why was the pressure of his aura making him dizzy and nauseous? Shit! It was simply unbearable!While Abel was falling into extreme agony, Lein came to his body that was lying helplessly on the ground."You want to break my finger, right?" asked Lein in a cold tone.Abel's instinct told him that he should apologize to Lein. Bad things would happen if he angered this person.At this time, Abel wanted to say right away th
Without thinking much, Lein ran at a crazy speed. Several flower pots hanging from the ceiling of the platform fell and shattered from the impact of his body's shake.The reason Lein was reluctant to run in the academy's surroundings was of course because of this. It can even make the appearance of the field which was originally neat and beautiful, become very messy.However, who cares about that now? He had no intention of holding back on this matter. He would destroy anyone who dared to kill something that belonged to him. Even if the Asmovius Kingdom stood in his way, he would fight them!A few seconds later, he arrived at the dorm. At this time, Lein saw that the lid of the jug had been opened, and George was lying nearby with several bruises on his face.Seeing Lein, George immediately said breathlessly, "I'm sorry, Andes. I tried to stop them from taking your koi fish, but I couldn't. I was only able to save two of them." George showed an apologetic expression.Lein didn't reply
After Abel left, George asked Lein, "How strong is he, Andes? Can I beat him?"Even though George actually knew the answer to that, he still wanted Lein to give his judgment."He's at least a Class 6 Swordsman. As for whether you can beat him? That's still impossible for now. You might die before touching him,"Lein replied helplessly. He really wanted to comfort George, but it was difficult to cover up the truth."Huft! I know that. But, it still hurts after you say it."Lein saw the gloomy expression on George's face. He looks really depressed.It is true, humans are created differently. Seeing someone who is the same age as you, but has a much better talent than you, of course it feels very painful and sad.However, every human being is special. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Even though at this moment Lein didn't see anything advantages about George other than his weight, his courage was truly amazing! Lein sure, George will not have a rival for it."You just need to work
"Are you tired of living too, Brat?!" Abel roared angrily at Lein.Even though he actually looks domineering on the surface, he is actually very depressed on the inside. Why weren't these two people intimidated by his aura?Did that mean they were stronger than him? Impossible! He is one of the gold token owners. It was impossible for a lower class students like these two to be above him!"You knocked out your comrades! Shouldn't you stop this?"At this point, they had become the center of attention. Hence, Lein wanted to quickly settle this matter and leave. Being flashy was really unpleasant and Lein was really bothered by it."Are you trying to control me?! What family are you from? I wonder where your courage comes from!"Realizing that this boy was difficult to deal with, Lein could only tug on George's arm and leave the practice room. Dealing with him is a waste of time and effort. Better to leave than dizzy himself to death, right?Seeing Lein and George trying to leave, Abel i
The owner of the gold token is named Abel Cyrill. He is the second son in the Cyrill Family; a large family that was one of the most famous four star families in the Asmovius Kingdom. In fact, the Cyrill Family is one of the distinguished guests at the joint training event to be held tomorrow.Abel is someone who has a bad personality. He hates those who are better than him, to the point where he wants to destroy them, so that he has a chance to surpass them even if it means using the dirtiest means.Moreover, seeing a kid tutoring someone far above him, how could he not feel irritated about it? Is that kid so great that he can lead an adult to enlightenment? Abel could not accept this! The thought of destroying Lein immediately burned in his heart.He then approached the two along with several students who were silver token holders. That sight was the same as that of a big mobster who had come to a small company with bad intentions along with his few accomplices."Am I looking at thi
