Whooohooo. We've hit 30k word count!!!!
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
The next day.. When Theo and his gang arrived at the school building, the one noisy atmosphere calmed down. "Isn't that Theo?" "Yeah, it's him" "The video of that throwball game is currently the number one trending in the groupchat" He could hear the studens murmuring. It was either they were talking about him trolling Dormani, or his amazing performance at the throwball court. "Dude. You are amazing" Balogun put his arm around Theo's shoulder. "I really don't know why you all are getting so worked up" Theo shrugged. Currently, he was still mulling over what happened while he was playing Bloodwar Arena. He accumulated enough primal points and successfully broke past the limit of the novice rank. However, something shocking happened.. ___FLASH BACK___[Host has leveled up!] Theo smiled heartily as he heard this notification. He was currently sittion on his bed. Balogun just happened to be catching some fun with his girlfriend ---- It wasn't yet curfew time anyway.Just as
Cloudy peach academy taught their students according to the official global syllabus; History Practical combat Geography Magic armament analysis Biology Physical Fitness Sport Art and Crafts After a boring thirty minutes of Geography class, it was finally time for combat class. "So that's the end of today's class. Now run along to the combat hall for combat classes" Instructor Melvin, a chubby baldie with geek glasses announced. The whole of SBC sighed in relief. Theo wasn't exempted. "For a moment, i thought his lectures won't end" he leaned forward tiredly. "Hell, i don't even know what's so good in geography. It's not like it's going to make us stronger or something" Balogun made his way over to Theo's desk, while hissing in annoyance. Behind him were Randi and Bajir. "You are wrong. Geography plays an essential role for Knights. It is a core subject in the Magic Knights writing exams" Bajir raised a finger in correction."You say that because you always get straight
"Is that a Nascent bud lotus?!""That's a triblood crescent flower!""If i am not mistaken, that is an ebony figament tree! i thought it only existed in ancient records!"Be it Bekor, his vice principals or Lela, they were left astounded upon seeing these various medicinal herbs.One must know that these herbs were exceedingly rare to come by. In an auction, a single one could sell for billions of dynocores.This was a literal treasure trove.However, inwardly Bekor was confused.Back when he tried attempting that expert's inheritance cave, he didn't come across such a huge medicinal garden."Did it appear after the inheritance cave was cleared?"However, Bekor felt it didn't make sense. If his conjecture was right, why would whoever cleared the inheritance cave abandon such a treasure trove.Even him from the old generation felt tempted even with his years of tempering his heart, talkless of a junior from the rising generation.Thus, he became wary.How would he have known that after
———FLASH BACK———Theo, Balogun, Randi, Bajir and Kamado made their way over to Combat class.The bronze quarters was as large as an estate. As such, combat classes was held in a dojo.However, this dojo was built like a pagoda, with three floors in total.Due to the number of students, combat class was divided into three batches.Batch 1Batch 2Batch 3Currently, Theo and his gang were grouped in batch two. There were twenty students in total.The training hall was extremely noisy due to the small gossips the students engaged themselves in."Have you heard? senior Howings just broke through to Intermediate rank!""He is talented asf! we are age mates and yet he's at the intermediate rank while i am here, still stuck in the primary rank""It's a shame that he always has a mask on. But judging from his bearing, he's bound to be a ladies man""The day senior Howings reveals his face, that day many unfortunate guys will lose their girlfriends. Ah"TAP! TAP! TAP!Calm unhurried footsteps
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
