That brubgs us to the end of the INHERITANCE CAVE arc ☺️
After rounding up the scores, only fifty participants got admitted into Cloudy Peach high school as bonafide grade one students. Those who failed could only grumble, they couldn't go and slap the school authorities for not picking them, right? As for those who passed, they rejoiced amongst themselves. Being a student of a second tier force was a huge honour to them and their families. "Although i knew i would pass, but i never thought it would feel so surreal" Theo mumbled. Not only did he pass, he also obtained a dragon expert's inheritance. It was no wonder they said good things comes in pair. "Congratulations, you are now officially students of Cloudy Peach high school" a male junior instructor came over with smiles. He had slick black hair and stern chin. His instructor name tag read.. One star Junior Instructor Luke. "My name is Instructor Luke. I will be the one leading you all to the area where grade one students reside" Luke informed.After saying this, he began to lead
Ding! The elevator door opened. Theo walked out, holding a paper slip. 'room three' he walked into the winding wide corridor that was brilliantly lit. Surprisingly, he couldn't hear any noise. "Found you!" at his left was a door with the tag.. '3' He pushed open the door and gaped at what he saw. On the huge sofa in the sitting room, a male and a female were making out, while the huge plasma tv was left on. Due to the creaking sound of the door opening, they both jumped out of each other's arms. The female's cheeks went red and hurriedly bent her head, embarrassed. As for the male.. "Yo bud" he winked at Theo. "You are my new roomie? well i didn't expect the school to send a fifteen years old here, but who cares. The younger, the more vibrant!" he grinned at Theo. He had aurburn hair, a lean frame and a sexy boy toy kind of face. But he wasn't the dull omega type male. Instead, he was quite fierce. A trait of a typical alpha male."Uh.. hi" Theo was short of words. And wh
The next day arrived. When Theo woke up, he saw Balogun admiring his reflection on the dressing mirror. Since they were room mates, they naturally had to share a room. Theo's bed was located at the left corner, while Balogun's was located opposite his own. Theo observed the uniform on Balogun. It was a short sleeved brown shirt with a blue tie. A pair of blue pants and black sneakers. On the chest pocket was the badge of Cloudy Peach Academy; A tree with the upper level shrouded in clouds. "Oh? you finally woke up? impressive" Balogun noticed a pair of eyes observing him. "Why? did you spike my drink or something last night?" The previous night, Theo had a dinner of cofee and toast, from Balogun's personal stock. "Why should i?" Balogun sniggered. "It's just that most newbies tend to wake up past ten am. So you waking up at this time is.. well shocking" he explained. Theo glanced at the wall clock and a smirk appeared on his lips."You call waking up by half past eight am surp
Theo carried the tray holding his lunch, towards an unoccupied table. A few minutes later, the rest of the gang joined him. Each holding onto their lunch. "This cafe is pretty active" Theo casually took a glance around. Many students sat with their friends at the same table, thus bringing discussion amongst themselves. It was pretty noisy. "Hm" Randi nodded, shoving a fork filled with spicy noodles into his mouth. Just as Theo wanted to start eating, something cought his attention from the corner of his eye. A female student walked into the cafe from the storage room, pushing another student on wheel chair forward. The female student had aurburn hair, cherry red lips and a seductive but lean physique. She was a beauty. As for the student on wheelchair, her beauty was triple compared with the first one. Although she had a petite body, it made men feel the desire to hold her in their arms and protect her. Naturally, the arrival of these beauties caused quite a stir."Whoa! isn
The whole cafe was thrown into silence. Everybody couldn't comprehend what just happened. A fresher dared disrespect the local tyrant in the form of Dormani, and went scot free? What kind of dog shit luck was that?! Just then, a male instructor walked in, holding a megaphone. He walked to an area where everyone could see him, before placing the megaphone on his lips. "The Academy administration sent me to relay an important news to you student" The instructor took a dramatic pause, scanning the students with his eyes. Just as expected, he had all their attention. Even Theo was looking over. An announcement from the Academy management was bound to be huge. Nobody could ignore it. "The Instructors and Vice Principal Bekor would be going out for exploration. Due to that, there would be no classes for today. Enjoy your day, but remember to be in your hostels before curfew time" saying this, the instructor took his leave.The cafe erupted into cheers. Finally, they were going to hav
Bounce! BANG! Theo and the gang walked into the basket ball court. "So big?" Theo was secretly mesmerized. Back in his former world, the basket basket court wasn't even half the size of the one he was currently seeing. It was like he was in a huge football stadium. "This is the throw ball court" Bajir introduced. "Throwball?" Theo had a weird expression. Wasn't this a basketball court? "Throwball is a famous sport. Globally, it ranks at fifth place. When playing throwball, we are allowed to harness mana. Like what they are doing right now" Randi pointed at a section in the 'throwball court' where six male students were playing among themselves. Three had blue bandana on their head, while the remaining three wore red bandanna. A blue team player got surrounded by wind type mana and sped towards a red team member, holding the ball. Whoosh! He snatched the ball and sped towards the throwball hoop. Just as he wanted to make a dunk--BOOM! A burly red team player smashed the b
Meanwhile.. At the huge field where Cloudy Peach Academy's grade one students entrance exam previously took place in, five figures were gathered together. Bekor, Stiles and Lela could be easily identified from among the mix. As for the remaining two, they were the vice principals of Cloudy Peach academy. "It is my honour to meet the legendary Stiles in the flesh. I heard a lot of rumour mongers claim you are long dead" Lela gave a fake amiable smile. "Hehe. Although i am but a pile of sack and bones, i think i can hold on for another ten years" Stiles calmly responded to the slight probing. Bullsin city was just a second rate city. Apart from the City Mayor Mansion, the Runichemist Association headquarter and the Magic Knight corp branch stationed in Bullsin city. There wasn't much competition between these three forces. The city mayour mansion was the government seat of power. As for the Alchemist Association or Magic Knight corp, they were known for ranking in the top twelve
When Theo got into the bunker, he noticed he was in a small sized room that could comfortably hold three people. There was a huge screen. A chair and a face mask with a chord attached to it that was connected to a box like tube. Without needing any instructions, Theo sat on the chair and wore the face mask.-[Ping! Foreign technology detected. Does host want to merge with foreign technology?] Theo contemplated when he saw the notification from the system. Since it was called foreign by the system, it meant they didn't share the same origin. Theo was disappointed. He thought he could finally unlock the mysteries of the system.-[Passive command recieved. Merging process has begun] "Arrrggh!" Theo felt a soul splitting pain racking back and forth in his head. He felt like something was being added to him. Unfortunately, he just couldn't pinpoint what it was. After a while, the pain vanished. However, Theo still felt cold shills and goosebumps.All these while, it had been smooth
After going through a long winding path, the trio finally arrived at a sky reaching castle. Currently, the trio were a stark different to their previous selves. After battling several undead creatures, they were extremely wreary and battered. "What is that castle? is it the last check point in this damn place?" Theo gasped in exasperation as he peered at the tall tower. The tower was pitch black in color, excluding a ghotic air around it. Surrounding the tower was a large wall made out of broken bones and skulls. The gate was extremely antique and left wide ajar. "Be careful. I sense a powerful source of necromancy mana from that tower" Scarlet warned solemnly, taking cautious steps towards the ghotic looking tower, while Theo and Lorraine followed from behind her. When they were a short distance away from the tower, Scarlet fingers weaved through a series of handseals. A black miasma shot out of her nostril, materializing into an Undead Orc.Unlike regular Orc, this one had oil
Rattle. Rattle. The two fearsome Undead swordsmen unsheathed their blades, swinging a sharp blade arc towards Lorraine. "Hmph!" the latter snorted. A white light flashed before her, materializing into the form of a large serpentine creature. Long thin threads shot out of Lorraine's finger tips, boring their way into the neck of the large serpent. "Go!" Lorrain gave a soft flick, causing the puppet Serpent to lash out at the aproaching Undead swordsmen with it's mighty tail. If it's attack landed, the two undead swordsmen would definitely be smashed into meat pauy. "Return!" Scarlet did some swift hand signs, causing the undead swordsmen to vanish into a pue of black miasma. "Girl. You hid yourself quite well" Scarlet forced out a smile. Like Necromancy, there existed another similiar principle.. Puppetery! Puppet Masters were extremely feared due to their ability to control refined puppets. Even the weakest Puppet master could control two puppets simultaneously.They were li
Passing through the bridge made of bones, Theo couldn't help recalling a popular saying in his former world. 'Courting Death!' Yep! he knew this. However, just like Lorraine said, there was no rewards without some risk. Since it was a relic ruins, there was bound to be many good stuffs. "Can you see through the mist?" Lorraine squinted her eyes after they reached the other side, which was shrouded by a dark mist that reeked of death. Activating the Eye of Illusions, Theo was able to see the dark mist clearly. "Careful! there are matrix tags lying around" he cautioned. Matrix tags were special items. Since Runesmasters were extremely rare, that was where matrix tags came into play. It was common knowledge that only runesmasters could draw out runic matrix formations. Matrix tags were special items with a runic matrix formation sealed within. Although it was a one-time use, it was extremely expensive. Counting the number of matrix tags, Theo sucked in a mouthful.Twenty! "Just
The underground cave was unnaturally large, like it was a world of it's own. Along the way, the duo didn't encounter any dangers, causing the previous vigilance they had adopted, to dampen a bit.After two hours of non stop walking, they had to come to a stop. Because ahead of them laid a wide chasm."Now what do we do. It's a dead end!" Theo slapped his forehead in persipation."Strange. Have you noticed an oddity?" Lorraine said as she gravely stared down at the wide chasm."Nope. Did you discover something?" Theo turned towards Her."While we we were covering the distance, i managed to glean out some information from my close observations. The underground cave wasn't formed naturally. It was artificially created"Theo sucked in a mouthful."Artificially created? i can't even begin to imagine what sort of existence would be capable of achieving such a feat"However, Lorraine shook her head."It was collectively created by a group of experts""If my guess is on point, this must be a
"S-Sir, this isn't right no? we clearly helped you beat that Scorpion-Man" Amira smiled, tossing a mana replenishing pill into her mouth without any hesistation. It was obvious she was taking counter measures incase of a conflict erupting. "How do we know if you are not members of the alien race adopting human form?" the second Spartan questioned suspiciously. "We can prove it. Here! i am a member of the Silver Moon Knight guild" Amiqa brought out an identity token. "Telekinesis" the first Spartan who happened to be the leader made a grabbing motion, causing the identitity token to fly into his grip. "Psi magic!" Amira and her group looked at the first Spartan with trepidation. Psi magic principle was an esoteric and rare magic principle. Like RuneMasters and Illusionists they made use of arcane energy. With Psi magic, one could inflict damage on opponent using their mind to deal either physical or mental damage. They were extremely formiddable and were not people to be trifle
When the intermediate rank mages heard these words, their heart sank to rock bottom. Finished! They were finished! "I and Jamaal will try and stall for a bit. Lead the intermediate rankers away to a safe place. We will meet up if fate so wills it" Amira solemnly instructed Nicola who nodded. "Stay safe!" after saying these words, she began leading Theo and the other intermediate rank mages away. Scriii! The Scorpion-Man was displeased when it saw some of it's meal jumping out of the plate. He swung it's sharp tail at the fleeing group. "Your opponent is me!" a bright light flashed as a whip type magic armament appeared in Amira's grip. She flung the whip towards the tail smashing towards Nicola's group. Like a snake on a tree, the whip elongated with bizarre elasticity, wrapping around the tail. Amira gave it a powerful tug, making the tail miss the fleeing group by a few metres. "Scorching Bones!" Amira casted a skill with a stern face.The whip wrapped around the Scorpion-
Theo clicked his tongue in annoyance. Following Izreel's attention, he attempted to bond with the black sword using primal points.-[To proceed recquires 20,000 primal points to bond with item] "Twenty thousand?!" Theo's eye lid twitched. Indeed! there was nothing perfect in this life! He only had a little over hundred primal points. He needed 8000 primal points to experience another level up. Such a large sum was far stretched for the current him. Helpless, he could only stow the black inheritance sword away as he brought out the super grade sachet of pills. He had previously consumed one pill, causing him to level up twice! doing the maths, he managed to amass 10,000 primal points! Staring at the six purple colored pills, he resolutely threw me into his mouth and sat down cross legged. He could feel a powerful wave of energy slam against him. He released a low grunt and bore through the pain. If an outsider saw this, they would be left questioning the essence of life!Just
Nicola continued calling out names. The mages who came out would battle amongst themselves, revealing their skills and techniques. Finally, it was the last round. "Theo an Zeil!" Theo leapt onto the fighting area, sizing up his opponet. Zeil had a fat build with a somewhat naive expression. However, this wasn't enough to make Theo go eary on him. Nicola slammed her mace down, signalling for them to clash. Tap! Tap! Theo struck first, relying on his base speed, he threw a heavy punch towards Zeil. "Iron Skin!" Ding! Theo felt a sting in his knuckles. Relying on the rebound force, he distanced himself from Zeil, whose body was coated with a skin layer of magic iron. Theo face twitched. He was confident in bagging a victory since Zeil was merely at the third level of the intermediate rank. Who would've expected that he would be an earth attribute mage. After having learnt his lesson, Zeil didn't remain passive. He bounded towards Theo, sending an hammer strike towards his bel
"First round. Please if you hear your name, step out. Zaik and Bull" Nicola read from a long paper slip containing about forty something names divided in a meticulous sequence.Beside her were Jamaal and Amira who sat at the judges desk, acting as the judges for the duel.Shortly after her announcement, two mages walked out onto the middle region of the hall. The rest of the mages who came to try out the recruitment watched from the viewers platform from above."Who do you think is going to win?" Jamaal casually asked his colleagues."I'll go for Bull" both women chorused.The two mages stared at each other intensely, their eyes releasing sparks. Bull had a stocky build, wielding a spear with intricate glowing patterns on it's surface.It was obviously a magic armament.As for Zaik, he had a slender figure, reaching just Bull's chest level. Behind his back was a sheathed blade and a clown mask concealed his face."Start!" Nicola pounded a mace on the desk.Fwoosh!Zaik drew out his bl
