Yman was thrown about ten meters away from his current location.

He could not believe that this monster's attack was so fast.

He even tried to use his Rapid Leap skill. But before he could activate it, it was already too late.

BoooooOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

The spectators were sending boos at him. While some were laughing and the others cursing him.

He also noticed the instructors shaking their heads. Even the Instructor Goki did as well.

Well, he already expected it.. What was important was that he's alive.

Good thing that he was able to block the boulder with his wooden sword. If not, surely, he would die in that attack.

But even so, the damage was too high! He lost half of his health points. And the sword was broken.

Well, he was fine, his right arm was feeling numb though. Nevertheless, the person at his back also took huge damage, like him, that person also was hit by the boulder.

Yman grinned and took a glance at the person. He saw him standing not too far away from him. He was standing still while wobbling from side to side.

'He was stunned! Ahaha,' he laughed seeing that guy lost more than half of his health points and now was under the effect of Bash.

That boulder throw of this monster could cause the Bash effect when hit directly by it. They would be stunned for a limited time.

Since Yman was able to block it with his sword, no Bash effect on him.

'That's a payment for pushing me this morning!' He inwardly whispered.

<Partner, how low can you be?!>

"Shut up, Sistela!" He said while twisting his face.

<Hmph!>

"Okay, I know I did something bad...but, that is because I know how twisted humans are. I already experienced many cruelties. And I learned that...if you act meek and weak, they would always pick a fight with you. Sometimes You need to pay them back. No matter if they paid you again later. What is important, is that...you fight back! And showed them that you are not just a training dummy that they can hit whenever they want!"

He said while his eyes glistened.

<But that is still wrong!>

"I know! But since you are an AI and not really a human, it is hard for you to comprehend what the real human felt," he said.

<Hmph! Even though I am an AI, I know what is right and wrong!>

"Yeah, because they programmed you...like that," Yman tried to explain to his deity the difference between a real human and artificial one.

<Hmph!>

He could feel her displeasure at him. But Yman had no time to argue with her. He noticed the golem started to rush towards him.

Sometimes, Yman felt that Sistela was a human. The way she talked and acted, they were human-like. But, he also knew that she was just an AI, an artificial intelligence. And she could not understand some matters that only humans can do. Because her knowledge was limited only to what was programmed in her.

All in all, he noticed that...before that person who pushed him this morning took a hit from the mini golem he was fighting with a while ago, Instructor Goki caught the attack of the golem and rescued that person.

He even caught the golems attack with one hand only. Yman's mouth formed like 'o' seeing this. The golem tried to attack him using its bladed hand. But his bulging muscle was like an impenetrable armor that could not be penetrated with any weapons.

Instructor Goki glanced at Yman and said, "I'm disappointed at you kiddo...regardless, you take care of this one too," he said at him while pointing at the mini golem.

Since Yman asked him that he would attack several monsters at the same time a while ago, the instructor gave him the other golem that was supposed to be the enemy of that person who pushed him this morning.

"Y-Yes...sir!" Yman replied. Even though he felt ashamed for what he did. But, he would not change the way he thought just for that.

"Don't act too rash kid."

After leaving those words, the instructor left while carrying that person.

Yman sighed. After losing the target, the mini golem pointed his hatred to the nearest enemy. And that was Yman.

<INCOMING!>

Now he needed to take care of these two monsters at the same time.

Two monsters came charging at him in opposite directions.

Without waiting for them to catch him, he ran towards the cliff edge while casting healing skills for himself.

Heal! Heal...

The spectators wondered what he was planning now.

Almina didn't care what the other thought of Yman. But after seeing him running at the edge cliff, she felt regret that she let him do what he wanted.

That move of him was literally suicidal.

Kesha sneered at that boastful person. Now he was running at the edge of the cliff. She thought that this person wanted to kill himself because of how embarrassed he was.

"What a clown..." she whispered.

"What the...why Yman went there?" Bob was puzzled.

"Yeah, now he has no way to escape," Mai added.

"Kuku, I bet he wanted to commit suicide," Brai chuckled.

"Eh? No—way..." even Chloe had no idea what was Yman trying to do.

She was as puzzled as them.

Even the instructors knitted their brows.

"That kid is crazy!" One of them said in a slightly loud voice.

"We should stop this!" The other one added.

"Fufufu," a female instructor chuckled and said, "let him die. After all, he will not literally die. He will revert back to normal humans only if that kid falls on that cliff. But of course, the injury was considerable."

Yman stopped his feet at exactly 10 meters distance...away from the cliff edge.

If the Boulder Throw would hit him, for sure, he would fall at this cliff.

But before that, he needed to prepare himself for the monster's attack.

Yman noticed that his deity Sistela was silent. It looks like she was mad at him.

<Missy are you fine with it?> Floating beside Almina was his system deity named Cal. He was asking his owner Almina.

"W-Why, Mr. Cal?" Almina was flustered, questioning back her deity.

But her deity knew what she felt at the moment.

<If that person will fall in that cliff, there is a chance for him to die for real...> Mr. Cal said at his owner while the imprints on his round body glowed whenever he talked.

"Eehhhhhh? What are you saying, Mr. Cal? Why would it happen? He will die for real? Not revert back to a normal human?" Almina's voice was loud that the other trainees beside her heard her.

<Yes!>

"...how? Why?" Almina asked while widening her eyes.

<Because there is a chance of system disconnection.> Mr. Cal replied to her.

"...d-disconnection?"

<Mhm!>

"You mean...their resonance will be canceled?" Upon realizing it Almina felt a pang of pain in her chest.

<Yes, Missy,>

"Mr. Cal is that possible?" Almina asked.

<You see, Missy, female system deity was usually cheerful, playful and also a gentle deity. They were usually healers and that is the reason why they dislike violence and ill-intent. Regardless, that person that dear to you...>

"D-D-Dear to me? W-W-What are you saying M-Mr? Cal?" Almina stammered her words while showing redness on her face.

<Hah, even in your room was full of that person's picture. I even thought that his a celebrity at first but it turned out that he's an ordinary person only...> Mr. Cal mumbled.

<...regardless, that person did the opposite of his deity's likable personalities. In that regard, it will weaken their resonance. And if that happened, there is a higher possibility of disconnection.>

Almina grimaced upon hearing her deity. But, what can she do? Stop the fight? Help him?

But based on Yman's personality, there was a chance that he would feel bad at her if she did that.

She bit her lips.

Beside her, was her stunned best friend.

When the two monsters reached a distance of ten meters away from him. They used Boulder Throw at him. Two boulders rapidly flew towards him.

And also, he estimated the distance. However, he was not 100% sure that his timing would work.

Although everyone was doubting him because their mana was almost dry, they followed him anyway.Generating the last drop of their mana, two of them managed to cast a spell and shoot towards Yman.When Yman noticed the incoming magic attacks. He wanted to laugh. Water Blades in the air and Ice Spike from the ground, these two attacks were fast approaching him.

But they had guessed that that person might be trying to do something again. Like what he did to the other

Again, pointing the tip of the sword to the sky; after permitted a huge sudden breath from his mouth, the sword once again was surging with fire.All around him, the monsters pouncing their massive body at him. He noticed his health points rapidly decreasing. Thanks to his Mana Membrane ability, the damages he took were not too high.

    He has 10% stamina left and he was currently pushing the boulder to drop it off of the cliff.The boulder made a shaking motion as it slowly lifted from its position.Instructor Goki fixed his gaze at the young man trying hard to push the boulder. Even the other trainees were watching him, they were wondering what he was doing. Not all of them were smart enough to figure his motive.Goki had no plan to stop the battle if the one battling did not give up. This year was a vital year for the academy.

He was greeted by a single lamp hanging up above the ceiling of the room and illuminating the surrounding with yellow brilliance. He glanced around him and noticed that he was inside a tent.He frowned after remembering what was happened before he lost his consciousness, he slowly pushing up his body.He felt weak and dizzy. But he could manage somehow..He scanned around him but he could not see his deity Sistela. He needed to concentrate to feel his deity's whereabouts, though he needed to use his stamina. But because he was in a weakened state, he could not carelessly use it.A moment later, Yman noticed a part of the tent-making a slight movement, which he believed was the entrance of the tent.After a second,

Behind his bangs, a glint was visible in his eyes.And a scene was about to replay inside his mind when..."Y-Yman welcome back.."A scene that was supposed to appear in his mind was interrupted by a sudden greeting from the shy girl in front of him.Yman likes waking up from a nightmare blankly glanced at Chloe. He saw her staring at him with a puzzled look.He blinked his eyes."Y-Yman, are you okay?" She asked.He also noticed the other trainees glances at him. The two girls and the other boys besides them were whispering to each other while stealing glances at him. He doesn't know what they were talking about, and Yman doesn't care.Though he felt that their topic was unkind to him. Maybe he developed a new skill that enables him to sense other people that are talking ill at his back. Yman sighed. Certainly, it was only his imagination play

    While the carriages traveled, they encountered many other monsters along the road. But the soldier guarding them handled the monsters with ease.It looks like they were professional in handling the type of monsters. Maybe these monsters were common in these areas.Yman noted a specific monster with a metal-like body and crawled with 16 legs. It looks like a spider but different in some way. Since a spider has 8 legs, whereas, this monster had 16 legs.The soldiers said that it was a hybrid monster known as Mustang Spider. Its colored dark green skin was as hard as steel. The soldier requested to change the route. Not even they could manage to kill it with ease. They might be able to kill it, but for sure, some of them would fall victim to the monster..That monster was rank C+. Monsters in this rank are also known as 'Wanderer'. Because they usually wander around the place, hunting for enemies. Every time they kill their prey they become stronger. And they had the ability to summon mo

    No matter what Yman said, Instructor Goki could not just believe him this time. Yman almost succeeded in killing multiple monsters in the last battle, although in the end, he failed.So he could not believe him fully right now. Even if he said that there was a higher chance that they could kill it.Goki knew that this was just a baseless assumption by this young man.So Goki said, "no is no, sorry Lady Almina, your father will get mad when something happens to their princess, so, I cannot agree with you this time."Goki said and turned his back at them while saying, "go back to your carriages this is an order!" He was waving his hand to signal them to go back.After hearing him. Almina felt helpless. If it's about her parents, there was nothing she could do..She glanced sadly at the back of the person in front of her.He was slightly shorter than her and his back curled slightly when he was standing. But even so, she was feeling warm while watching this person's back.They were surpr

Noticing that all of them had no idea who those people are, she continued by snapping her fingers. After the elder snapped her fingers, the ten shaded in black figures suddenly revealed their real appearances.The Elites noticed that each of those individuals was wearing academy uniforms of different academies.They also noticed one specific person wearing an academy uniform from the Middle Region Magic Academy. .She has smart looking-eyes, a small nose, and rosy red lips.

It's supposed red eyes had turned into hazy yellow. Its pure dark blue fur that covered its whole body, now had milky-white fur arcing on its stomach down to its middle part. Its two ears grew longer, about 10 inches long that stood like horns on its pointy head. And on its face, gleaming in metallic luster, the whiskers were protruding like long needles. Even its razor-sharp claws had grown longer and sharper.Khaaaaaaaa!!! It suddenly yelled.

    Reflected in his eyes the shining image of the Evil Rat that was undergoing an evolution phase.The brilliance that envelopes its body had even brightened the place a little.Tsk! Yman as he gnashed his teeth. Never in his wildest dream to be able to see an actual evolution phase of a beast.Seemingly, beasts or monsters will undergo an evolution phase when their battle experience reached a certain threshold.Currently, Yman was downed on his butt on the cold pavement ground, while staring at the Evil Rat in surprised and without batting an eye.

After the tail whip attacked that landed on his back, -150 health points were taken from his health bar..He certainly questioned his luck.

Some green liquids were splattering around and looking like small particles of lights when they were hit by the illumination of brilliance from his holographic map.Yman narrowed his eyes.

    Yman scratches his head and forced a dry laugh when he realized that the water passage was still too small for the monster to pass through.He remembered what Mrs. Merced (the woman who issued the quest) said to him. That when he reached the dead end, there was a hole where a person can pass through to his left side. But Yman could not see it, the hole that she mentioned.Suddenly, he heard Sistela's call: He then glanced at the map that was hanging steadily above him. He noticed a thin layer of the wall outline. Based on the map, it was located two steps away from his left side."Must be a camouflage." He muttered and summoned his spear from Cyber Storage..He then pokes the part where the thin layer on the map was shown. Yman narrowed his eyes when the wall that looks so sturdy bend inwardly like a piece of something soft like it was made of cloth, a camouflage cloth to be specific.|It's a well-made replica of the wall.| He thought. |But

On the opposite side of the entrance, there was a big dumpsite area that could be seen a little distant from the river-dam. The place was known as West District.At the dumpsite, he could see some smokes that were flying towards the sky and resembles the clouds as they continued to hover higher.After Yman stepped in the entrance, he asked his deity to activate the radar.Sistela replied:He said: "It's not sudden. It's better to have a perfect mapping from the entrance towards the farthest area that we can reach." She questioned him.He scratched his face and replied: "Don't worry, we sure to leave the place before it happened.."Hearing what he said, she resigned then followed what he wants and activated the radar without further retorts.But she really was worried if she emp

It covered his body like a robe. His mouth and nose were covered by a mask to get rid of the pungent smell that might invade his throat. The cloak and mask both had poison resistance.His enemies were poisonous creatures, so, it was only natural for him to dress such a way.. No one knows if when the danger would come. One could only realize a danger after they found themselves in a situation.Yman's lips extended into a smile after hearing her, then he cleared his throat and said: "It's not like that. The air
