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.
<Partner, let's run!> 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 situation he had at the moment was not favorable to him! And could only be considered as bad luck.
Yman's face twitched. He was thinking if he would run away and escape. Decisively, he already made a decision.
A dagger materialized in his hand when he summoned his Cyber Storage and clicked on a dagger icon in it. After clicking the dagger icon, he quickly chose the [Take] choices that could be seen popping out after. With his well-practiced hand, all of this had happened in an instant only.
A dagger of about 10 inches in length had magically materialized in his hand.
Without waiting for the evolution phase to complete, Yman resolutely threw the dagger in hand.
Even though his dexterity attributes were low, within a distance of 7 steps away, he was confident that his throw would not miss.
As expected, the dagger flew and tore-up the space between them in an instant. Its tip landed on the intended area with a whoosh, but... unbelievably, the dagger was seemingly hit an unknown barrier when it bounced back and was repelled.
Yman knitted his brows. Anxious by uncertainties.
He noticed that some unseen force was protecting it.
He scanned his storage to find something that might help him. Yet, he finds nothing that could help. He looks around him and saw the still anchored spear protruded on the ground. It was located at 7 steps behind him, slightly at his right.
He promptly jumped on his feet and ran towards it. With his 1 percent breakthrough of his limiter and with the addition of resonance with his deity, his agility attributes were high enough to reach this distance in below 2 seconds time.
He firmly held the spear-pole and exerted strength to uproot it. Noticing that it was tightly dug in the ground and would only budge a little, he wobbled it promptly at any directions with the intention of loosing it from being anchored.
Underneath, the laying corpse of the Evil Rat that was pierced by it had made undefined movements.
The noises of metal and ground scraping tickled his ears.
Yman glanced at his back to where the evolving beast. His eyes balled upon seeing that the Evil Rat had now looked different.
He noticed its image was already different from before. It grew taller. Based on how he sees it, the Evil Rat seemed to be standing on its 2 limbs as a human did!
Even the name 'Evil Rat' on top of its red bar had started to blur, and a new name was about to happen.
Beads of sweats surfaced on his forehead. He could even feel his breathing that started to become heavier. His stamina was deliberately declining.
<Partner what are you doing?! Let's run!> He heard Sistela's anxious voice demanding him to run. But Yman did not react, nor did he replied? No. He remained quiet and focus. Only the hard breathing sounds were discernable from him.
A few moments later,
Shing! Such sounds were heard by him when the spear tip had successfully unburied from the ground. Getting rid of the corpse that was pierced by it, he briefly kicked on it.
The corpse rolled away after a kicked from him.
Yman held the spear in his hand and walked towards the evolving beast. He was holding the spear relatively close on its tip and was dragging the opposite end that scraping the ground.
When he reached at 5 steps away from the evolving beast, he held the spear comfortably in two hands and rushed to the beast while pointing the tip on it to it.
Haaaaaaa! He screamed out loud which signifies his courageous charge, summoning all his strength in the body into one hasty stab with all he has.
<No partner, please run!> Sistela's from demanding to pleading voice was heard by him.
However, Yman already had the resolute to fight it now. If not now then not later also. It would be impossible for him to defeat it when it matured. It's better to strike it now that it was still on its shell.
No. It was already out of its shell!
Swoosh!
The stabbed attack hit an empty air! The Evil Rat had gone from its supposed position. It jumped high in the air away from him. When its feet landed on the ground, it was already at 10 meters distance away from him.
Sighed.
|Well, stabbing a newborn chick is okay too.| Yman as he thought. His face already showed tiredness. He just walked not so far and killed one Evil Rat but he already gasping for breath. Getting hit was also demanding in stamina.

He knows that the enemy had become more agile. And the battle would become more difficult to him from this point onward.
Certainly, there was also a choice of forfeiting the mission. But it also meant that he was incapable of accomplishing such a lowest ranking mission and becomes a more of a laughing stock from the others. Although it could not be considered as a lowly mission anymore, with the appearance of this evolved beast.
But the unknowing people would only believe what their eyes had seen. So basically, even if he reported it, they would only think that he made up things and that he was just afraid and so.
It may cause more unwanted attention to himself which already made him so sick. And they might suggest to him to hire mercenary to help him accomplished the mission. However, Yman was not a money bag. He was in a tight situation financially.
Hiring mercenary would come with a price that depends on the mercenary rank.
"Heh!" He scoffed after seeing the new name that appeared above the enemy's health bar.
Noble Rat was written in an exchange for the Evil Rat. He was sure that right now, this enemy had already evolved into a Wanderer rank D+ beast.
He certainly wondering why such a noble name was on a gross rat! He then followed another rushed.
Anyhow, no matter what he whined about would not change the fact that he was currently facing a Wanderer type monster alone!
Right at this moment that Yman was fighting the evolved Evil Rat, inside the academy, Kesha was dragging the still in fantasy Almina in the hallway. She was dragging her towards the room for the chosen Elite trainees together with their deities.
The hallway seemed empty since this top floor of fledgling trainee building was for the chosen Elite trainees only.
"W-W-Wait Kesha..." Almina called out while trying to free her hand that was held by her best friend Kesha.
Cal and Kesha's deity was floating beside the two girls with a bead of sweat that appeared on their round body. Why not on their small heads though?
"No. We need to hurry. Else, we will be late in the meeting. The others are already gathered there. Even the blonde already there too." Kesha firmly stated.
Almina sighed and said: "Hah. Why you even mentioned her. In any case, what's the point of dragging me? I also was planning to go!"
<Are these two an idiot?> Cal and Kesha's deity had the same thought.
"Eh? But your mind is flying everywhere and screaming while burying yourself with the pillow!" Kesha replied.
"Wha—, erm... I - I am okay now," Almina said shyly yet her face showed rosy red. She really was planning to get a mission in the barracks but Kesha went into her room with a piece of news about a meeting with all the Elite trainees.
Creak!
When they opened the door of the room, all of the other Elite trainees were already in there, sitting around the round table in the middle of the room.
They now staring at the two who just happened to open the door.
An old lady was standing facing the window with its back facing the Elites.
Almina noticed some familiar faces inside the room. It was Keremi and the blonde.
They then proceeded to seat on the vacant chairs which made some creaking noises.
She noticed the blonde girl staring at her. Almina replied with a sharp glance at her.
Right now, 10 chairs were surrounding the round table but only 9 was taken with extra one empty seat.
"Looks like, everyone is already here." Said the old woman after Almina and Kesha took their seat.
This old woman was one of the elders, Elder Paan to be specific.
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
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.

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
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
Shing! (Sounds of sword slashed.)-1 (Health points deducted.)Ack! (Monster cries in pain.)Tsk! This wooden sword really did little damage. Currently, the monster health points were 99/100. My attack could only deal 1 damage to it. I did all I can just to kill this monster named Pale Toad, but my damage ain't high enough. This monster is level 1 only. But, for a reason of me being so weak, it's so difficult to kill it, yet my peers could easily eliminate these monsters.If I couldn't manage to kill this one, how could someone like me become a strong Magician in the future?Right now, all my peers already at level 2 and above. Yet I'm stuck at level 0. What a shame. No, I don't care about shame anymore. The most important to me now is to earn money, to buy medicine, in order to cure my sister's illness.If only I learned an attack magic skill. But too bad, I've got a self-healing magic skill instead. This magic could
Yman woke up early on Sunday morning. Because he believes at the sayings that, "the early birds that get a choice which is more important than the worm itself".He knew this well, that's why he got up early on that morning because the one who came early at the venue of the evaluation exam would be able to choose a better starting skill. But for some reason, he had been dragged in the alleyway and ganged up by the group of five youths before he arrived at the venue.Therefore, he was late and had no choice left but to get the worst starting skill among the rest, the self-healing magic.He not only got a starting skill, but also a System Deity.The system deity was a round ball object as big as a golf ball. With designs of profound carving and imprint. To activate the System Deity, the owner must feed it with his own energy to light up all the imprint on its body, then it would spread automatically at the back of the owner's neck like a wris
|This punk! Irrational as ever. Hah, I don't have free time for these idiots. Better leave for now and come back later. It's better to hit some training dummies to increase my combat experience.| Yman thought while trying to get rid of some algae that was sticking on his body.When the group of Kiko had noticed him,"I thought it's a frog. Who would have thought that it's Yman? Haha!" Kiko said while sarcastically laughing so hard."Hehe, Kiko bro, I think Yman thought this pond was a river. Haha!``said one of Kiko's friends. This guy named Marco."At least he knew how to wash his body. Haha!" Another of Kiko's friends indicated. The guy named Bruno."But now, he even looks dirtier than before. Hehe!" Marco said while covering his nose and mouth with his hand.Hahaha! The six youth were batshit laughing."Hah! What would you expect of an orphan? He can't even buy food to eat." Kiko said while ge
Yman and Sistela didn't stop bantering until they arrived at a rundown apartment.He was about to use the key when he noticed that it wasn't locked.|She's here.| He thought. The door made a creaking noise when he pushed it. "Yman, is that you?" asked by a voice from inside."Yes, Miss Pai, " he replied.A woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen. On her hands were a bowl, a bowl of steaming porridge. A system deity was floating beside her. Based on her figure, she was in her 20's. She's pretty and sexy. She has chest-nut color and curly hair, which is shoulder length. She has beautiful eyes, and she stood at the height of 5"6. Same height as him."Oh, how's your evaluation exam..." She asked. But she suddenly paused when she noticed his figure. His clothes were tattered and wet. And all over his body were covered by mud and algae. "Eh? What happened to you?" she surprisingly asked.Yman scratched his head befor

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
