Baaaaang!!!
"!!!"
Thunderous sounds followed after Kiko slammed his sword onto the Mustang Spider's forehead. Almina and the other who also near the monster covered their faces using their arms.
Yman frowned, its not because his warning came late, but this idiot chose to disregard his warning.
A moment later...
Swoosh!
A steaming figure was sent flying back. All of them were staring at this figure with wide eyes. .
"???"
"Is that a bird?" Chloe subconsciously asked.
"It's a plane." Muttered by Bob.
"No, it's a human being!" Mai screamed seeing the smoking figure flew away from the explosion.
Yman sighed, he was right. |What an idiot.| Yman muttered in his mind while staring at the body who passed by at him and was flying like a crashing plane. Then it landed on the ground with sounds effects of bouncing and rolling.
|Ugh, that might hurt a little...| With indifferent looks on his face, he whispered in his mind.
How could a boss-like monster like the Mustang Spider just display its weakness wide open? Of course, it was a trap! This Kiko was too reckless for rushing in without thinking. However, he was happy about what happened to this guy.
Yman already suspected it after seeing the Magic Cryst on the monster's forehead. Since, in the first place, Magic Cryst usually hid inside the monster's inner core. Yet, this monster displayed it on its forehead.
He was only not reading books about monsters on the Outerworld, he even experimenting with some of them. And he likes watching the soldier fighting with the monsters on the town walls. So his knowledge about Magic Cryst was fairly high.
Magic Cryst was formed from the accumulation of excess energies and combat experience in the monster's inner core. Which solidified through toughed battles.
That's why Magic Cryst had random effects or abilities. It could also be meant that this Magic Cryst was like their trophy for winning battle after battle.
But this idiot did not let him finished his words and suddenly rushed towards the monster.
What he heard was not a collision of two opposing forces. But a loud explosion of magical energies from Kiko's own Meteor Blast. His attack triggered the monster's passive skill, which would activate once the attacker hit the Magic Cryst on its forehead. It sent back the attack to the attackers. So the one who got injured by his own ability was no other than himself.
Although the bounce attacked was not 100% of its original strength. Still, that explosion of his own ability toasted him.
He doesn't really care about that person, but as a leader, he had the responsibility for their safety and for the success of this mission. But since he did warn that idiot and still did what he wants, then Yman could only wash his hands to what happened to him.
"Plan A!" Yman shouted. There was no time to be in a daze and they could not wait for some idiot to regain his bearings. They needed to kill the monster as fast as they could. Else, everyone's stamina would run out first.
<><><>
When the rolling body stopped, "It was Kiko!"
The source of this content is novelnext.com
The audience screamed after they identified the person. The audience at the distance was having ashen faces. Especially the girls. The person they admired was sent back like a charred lump of a tree branch. The brand new uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy that he was wearing was tattered all over.
His handsome face and well-combed blonde hair were in a mess.
He was having a shock expression on his face while trying to get up. His friends who were in the audience shouted for his name. While the other trainee shouted abusive words to the only person who did not do anything. Cursing him, and telling him 'gayman'. That he was afraid to fight. And he's the reason why Kiko was hurt.
Yman didn't know if where to hide so that no one would mind him. He was wondering why their idol's fault was thrown towards him. These people were just too unjust. In this era where strength and looks had a bigger impact on the masses, someone like him was not worth noticing. Yet, he was noticed by them. But in a very bad way.
A beautiful girl with ponytail lavender hair ran towards Kiko's side.
|See? Even in his embarrassing situation, there was still a beauty that would lend him a hand. How about if I was the one who hurt myself in the process of saving others? For sure I had only myself to blame. For sure no beauty would run to my side and reached me a hand.| In Yman's mind.
That was one of the unfairness of this era. Only strength and looks were mattered. In any case, he really doesn't care about other people. He only cared for his sister. In this world, there's only him and her.
After all, they don't have a normal childhood. The two of them went through hell after their parents were murdered. Their life only became a little nicer when they met with Miss Pai.
So for Yman, coming to the academy and have a peaceful life was already a refreshing event for him and his sister's life. They were able to run away from that dark passed they had.
So the ridicules and taunts that they were throwing towards him, were just speck of dust compared to their past.
<><><>
On the other hand...
Kiko for some reason could not hear the noise coming from his surrounding. His eardrum had been damaged by that loud explosion earlier. He doesn't even have any idea of what really happened. After he smashed his sword on the monster's forehead, to where the crystal object embedded, he was hit by an explosion.
'Wait, don't tell me...it was a trap and that frogman purposely said it to fool me! He already expected it that I would attack it! It was his fault after all! You damn frog! I will kill you!' Kiko thought while gritted his teeth and glints of hatred were visible in his eyes.
He glanced at Yman and saw that guy giving a command to others. The others resumed their attacks. They surrounded the monster like before.
He also saw Almina still focused on the fight with a serious and mad expression on her face. He thought that maybe she was mad because that monster hurt him.
Seeing Yman's casual behavior, Kiko was furious. Looks like, he was right thinking that this frogman really did fool him. Look, he was ordering the others to attack the monster but he said, 'do not hit the crystal.'
'Fuck! What is this?! Damn, his getting into my nerves! I will kill this frog! I will kill this frog! I will kill this frog!!' He was staring daggers at Yman's thin back while repeatedly thinking of killing him.
He reached on the sword hilt that laying beside him. But, "Hey, are you okay?" Kneeling beside Kiko, Kesha was calling at him. He noticed her and gawked for a second, he recognized her! She was the girl that always with Almina.
Although he was at the sorry state and looks haggard at the moment, he noticed that he still had 170 remaining health points.
His face twitched, he could not believe that he was fooled by that guy.
"Here take this." Kesha handed him a vial with red liquid in it. Everyone knows that it was a potion that enables them to regain back their health points and cured the wounds on their body.
When Kiko's hearing finally returned to normal, he heard the other trainees and even the instructors shouting him to get up. And asking if he was fine.
He felt a little embarrassed about what happened to him. And a smile suddenly surfaced in his mouth when an idea appeared in his mind.
He was staring at Yman's thin and unhealthy back that seemed like it would crumble with just a little smack.
Kiko strengthened himself and stood up once again. He took the vial handed to him by Kesha. Then thanks her after drinking it.
Kesha smiled sweetly. But his eyes not directed to her. It was directed to her best friend Almina.
Kiko sighed. He already embarrassed himself twice in front of Almina. What if, she was turned off of him. He must redeem himself. But first, he needed to punish this frog for fooling him.
Far behind them, Goki was shaking his head. He really did not believe that these youngsters could kill that monster. It was a C+ after all. Even him who was having a 10%(level 10) breakthrough in his limiter, did not wish to fight it alone. Yet, these youngsters asked to fight it. He shook his head once more and said, "They really had no idea how strong that monster." He mumbled.
The fight continued for several minutes. Everyone was having difficulty damaging it as time went by. Right now, they could only rely on Almina and the blonde girl to do the damage.
Yman felt relieved that this blonde beauty finally becomes more active firing her arrows.
Kiko also came back and slashed the monster as much as he could. Of all the trainees in their group. Yman believed that Kiko has the highest normal attack damage. And because of that, he could easily take the aggro of the monster.
The monster also became more aggressive and active. It was using his size to rummage its enemies. And sometimes spraying his web randomly. Which was very dangerous for them.
The smiling guy, finally using weapons. Although he was using different kinds of weapons and threw it to the monster. The monster tried to bump him. But he skillfully dodged its every attempt. Still in closed eyes. Yman had already stopped wondering how he could see in this state.
"Heyahhh!"
Bob used his bare hands to throw punches on the monster. Even though he had strengthening ability, but he was waiting for Yman's go signal. Chloe was rapidly firing the magic pistol in her hand. Raining magic bullets on the monster's body.
Suddenly, they noticed Kiko was running towards Yman, and since he had the monster's aggro, it followed him...
Yman narrowed his eyes. And a glint was visible in his eyes. His mouth leaked a smile. Then he shook his head.
"Hah, this idiot is really a fool." He sighed and muttered.
Staring at the approaching Kiko who was being chased by the Mustang Spider, Yman steadied his breathing. Watching that person's gaze to him, and the way he lured the monster towards him, he was 99% sure that this idiot was up to something not good.Kiko was grinning inside seeing that Yman was standing alone in a safe distance at their back. He was not in resonance with his deity. What a perfect scenario to kill this frog. If the Mustang Spider able to collide at him. For sure he was dead meat!And him? No one would suspect him. After all, it was easy to find a reason. Just several seconds it took that he neared that guy.The others were having different outlook at the current situation. Chloe, Bob, and Mai were having stupefied faces. .Almina on the other hand was tailing the monster and Kiko with all her might. She was able to cut one of the monster's hind legs. But it didn't stop and continued chasing after Kiko, while Almina lost her pace. Because of this, the monster lost her ta
Goki knew that even if he did not intrude in that fight, they could kill that monster sooner. With Almina's unfairly high damage that comes from her unknown ability, and with the addition of those two specially recruited trainees, it was only a matter of time that they would finish that monster. Although he could not save Kiko if he did not rush to help.And those three others with them(Mai, Bob, and Chloe). They both had interesting abilities, although, they were weaker if compared to those four: Almina, Kiko, blonde, and smiling guy.It was unbelievable for them to kill that monster since it was a rank C+ Wanderer. Not even him would wish to challenge it.......Yet with that person's direction, it becomes possible for them to kill it.....Goki also felt scared at that person, not because he's strong — he doesn't have strength, not because he had a genius-level skill — he had no mana. But because the way he planned out his battlefield was unprecedented. However, the problem was he wo
The sun was already setting at the west when they arrived at the Human City Z7.City lights were shining brightly from all the establishments they had passed. Yet they had noticed that even in this city, any modern vehicle was absent in this place.Everyone directly went into their rooms that were reserved in advance. All of them were exhausted from the long travel and had no time to appreciate the place.Each of them has their own hotel rooms allocated to them. This hotel was one of the biggest hotels in this city. For most of them, the room was decent; with a 1-bed room, a restroom, a kitchen, a sofa, and a terrace. But for Yman and his sister, this room was grander.He had just finished taking bath and now he was sitting on a sofa while staring at the night sky through the window gap that slightly opened. .The modern vibes inside Human City were different compared to a fantasy-like Empire of Encantasya.Yman was wondering if this world was really the second world of earth. In the
Yman noticed some other trainees on the distance. They were watching at them. Based on their looks, he surmised that they were senior trainees. Although he was wondering that there were only a few senior students in this academy.Every row of trainees there was an instructor facing them. Watching them while managing their actions.If any of the trainees made any unnecessary movements they could be easily be caught and be punished.So every one of them was too careful not to make any slight movement that could be caught the instructor's attention.They were standing straight with both hands straight down on their sides. Everyone's attention must focus only on the person on stage. .Only the gulping sounds of their drying throats were slightly discernible. Everyone was having mixtures of feelings. They were excited and nervous at the same time.After introducing himself to the fledgling trainees, Instructor Stone De Guz Man greeted the new batch of fledglings. They were the new freshmen
After introducing the three elders, the speaker Head Instructor Mr. Stone De Guz Man proceeded by giving a slight briefing about this world and the academy.After the briefing, one of the elders, Elder Gatan used a resonance with his deity. After that, his body was enveloped by blueish mana. A moment later, all those mana that was surrounding him slowly faded like it was being absorbed by his body.This was the skill that only an expert magician could do. The level of understanding and control over magic was not based on a magician's breakthrough level, but it was based on his training and perseverance to learn and how eager he or she wanted to advance his/her level of understanding and control.Elder Gatan was absorbing that mana that was encasing his body to minimize the use of mana at a reasonable degree. Fledgling doesn't know about it. All of them thought that encasing one's body with mana could increase their defense and attack power. But the truth was, it only increased a littl
The water sprite seemed to be interested in him. It was staring at Yman with its big twinkling eyes.It looks so cute as it swayed its small head from side to side, and its small finger pointed below its mouth. Seemingly wondering about him. This female water sprite was having long light blue hair down to its feet and light blue gown that well match on her cute figure.Like a princess, she was sitting on a bubble that was obviously bigger than her body, although this bubble magically did not pop up.Elder Gatan noticed that one of the water sprites still did not return. He glanced towards the trainees and saw one of his water sprites at the backmost and was in staring contest with one of the trainees.Elder Gatan narrowed his eyes, slightly interested at that trainee who got the attention of his water sprite.Yman then lifted the paper in front of him and the water sprite..Seeing the magical paper, the water sprite was seemingly realized her task. It smiled big at him and saluted, th
When Yman's hand landed on the smooth screen surface, he felt a little chill on his skin.He also noticed some evidence of nervousness from those who came before him. Looks like some droplets of sweat stayed on it.He could hear the noise from his surrounding but he had to disregard them. Their murmurs were not of help to him. He needed to concentrate his mind to summon his densest mana.Like what the others did, he also did what he needed to do. His hand slowly envelopes by white brilliance. Although the other's mana was of bright green color, only his that was of white.And everything happened like a dream....Night came pretty fast to someone unaware and happy. But for Yman, he had a lengthy day!Right now Yman was sitting on the sofa while facing the window of his room from the inside and was looking towards the distance outside.Wearing an old t-shirt. His thin shoulders dropped down at a certain angle.In his hand was a glass of cold water. He felt like, he had the longest day o
Inside the barracks, some people were sitting on the chairs that were surrounding the tables placed near the walls and windows.Most of them were wearing the uniform of Middle Region Magic Academy. Yman believes that they were junior or senior trainees.A pub on their left side caught Yman's attention. They were selling some drinks and food. He never had a thought that there would be such a pub inside this place.He also noticed some of the senior and junior trainees that were fixedly staring at the flat screen located on the right side of the counter. But for some reason, they were staring at it without really doing anything. Their deities were beside them. Some were floating while some were sitting on their shoulders or on their heads.Some people that already inside just sent a glance towards them when they stepped in.. Then returned back their sights to where they were originally staring awhile ago.Their images barely reflected in the dusted white tiled-floors that turned yellowi
As the fight of Yman against the Noble Rat reached the peak, the meeting of the Elites was still ongoing.After explaining to the Elites about the current situation of the academy, Elder Paan proceeds on discussing the shaded individuals that could be seen displayed in the holographic screens at the end of the clips."I'm sure you are wondering who those people on the screen..." the elder stopped then glanced at the Elites one by one. 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. Her sky-colored pupils gleamed like the crescent moon reflected on it. And her sh
While the meetings of the members of the Elites were ongoing, Yman was struggling against the evolved Evil Rat which now had the name of Noble Rat and reached the pinnacle of D, the D+ Wanderer.Now it stood on its 2 limbs. 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. The raspy shrill from it sent shivers on him.The cloak he was wearing had already torn, the clothes were tattered, and marks of blood could be spotted on some of its torn areas.If not because of his healing magic, not only his clothes would be torn at the moment but also his flesh.. For once he was thankful for having such
Not only humans fighting against humans, but also demihumans were against demihumans, and beasts fighting against beasts."The video you just watched were collections of clips from the previous battle in the Worlds Magic Academy Competition." Suddenly said the elder in a stern voice that devoid of emotions.It was cold and a little hoarse.Ahem. (She cleared her throat once again.)The Elites remained silent waiting for the continuation of the elder's words."Probably, some of you might already know the purpose of Magic Academies. Or why it was in such a rule or system. It was of course to prepare you from the sudden attacks of the real enemies lurking everywhere.. But before that, some precarious issues needed to be solved at first.Support us at N~ovElB(I)N(.)NETRight now, this academy was in a tight situation and was in danger of getting pulled out from this world. If that happened, not only the academy would be gone.Also the city itself.Since, this city's resources mostly came
The other Elite members seemed like they were from the native of this world.Kesha glanced at the empty seat. The person whoowned it was still recovering at the moment. He was sent to the famous magical hospital in this city.Sadly, he had injured himself at that time when they fought the rank C+ Mustang Spider. But because of having great talents in magic and owning 4 different types of ability for being a fledgling trainee only was more than enough for him to acquire a seat as an Elite trainee without going through the test.Kesha could only sigh and prayed for his fast recovery.Next to her was a man with medium length red hair. He was sitting calmly while closing his eyes and arms across his chest. With his right leg on top of his left knee.. This person was no other than Mai's cousin, Brai.Kesha noted that this person was also a handsome man and was kind of mysterious. Unlike the infamous wastrel who only knows how to hurt his comrades.Everyone certainly thought that that guy
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. Sistela's voice rang in his ears which made him snapped from the shock and pulled him back to reality.He did not even notice his health points which now short of 150 points. After the tail whip attacked that landed on his back, -150 health points were taken from his health bar..He certainly questioned his luck. If seeing it from a different perspective, he might be lucky for witnessing such a rare event. But the situati
Sistela warned after noticing the second Evil Rat made a wise leap in the air while opening its largemouth. 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. Even though this Evil Rat managed to avoid the ball-web traps, the smoke abled to hinder its vision.He summoned his strength and sent a stab to the leaping Evil Rat.Shing!-30 HP in the red text was visible in his vision when his stab was successfully landed on the Evil Rat's jaw, which followed by squeaking noises from the Evil Rat when the tip of Gladius sword dig in about 3 centimeters in its flesh.|20 defense!| Yman quickly calculated the enemy's defense based on the damage that he dealt it.He has 20 attacks and an additional 15 from the resonance with his deity and another 15 from his Gladius sword. It was 50 in total, but he only managed to take 30 of the monster's healt
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
The Underground Channel entrance located at the west side of the city, under the bridge, and near the river-dam that streaming steadily towards the end. 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
Yman asked Sistela about the current time before they going to enter the Underground Channel entrance.He nodded at her after her reply and reminded himself that he only had 2 hours to finish his intention in this place for the day.But Sistela has seemingly noticed something.Suddenly, her complaint was heard by him.At the moment he was wearing a cloak of black color. 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
