By the time I finished my shopping spree, it was already at lunch time. Since the cafeteria is nearby I plan to grab some food first. Before I went looking into the engineering facility which is near the outer layer of the academy.
The cafeteria is quite full but I still can find some empty seats. After I ordered some food, I noticed some students whispering while looking at me.
Apparently, my duel with Coldhearth brat is already spreading. Some students start to believe more in my title as the untouchable since I could beat the Coldhearth brat easily.
Since I don't want to create more commotion, I plan to leave after having my meals. However, before I can get the first taste of my meal. A bald person with muscular body and tanning skin tone color sat in front of me. He seems like a 12-13 years old kid.
"I hear you are the untouchable, how about…"
"100gold and pay it upfront." I interrupted him and went back to eating my meal.
Confused with sudden interruption, "Huhh… What do you mean by…"
I interrupted him again, "If you want to fight me pay 100 gold upfront or get lost already. I don't have time to always beat stupid brat like you."
"Hahaha… It was the first time I heard an arrogant person like you. Fine, I will pay 100 gold to beat you. Now let's…" he gets ready with his sword to fight me.
I interrupted him again, "Wait, can you see I am still eating? Just wait until I finish my meal." As I take his 100 gold coin to my space storage.
He glared at me like I am a dead person. "Fine, I will wait for you to eat. My name is Henry Reinheart. Don't try to run away or even your brother here you will not be saved."
After that he went outside to order his lackey to secure the entire cafeteria to make sure I would not escape.
During this time, I kept eating leisurely and thought of some ideas. It seems I will make more money. I counted how many lackeys that secure the perimeter and found that there were 10 people. Since he can take out 100 gold easily that means he has more money in his pocket.
If I can extort him and all his lackey, I will be getting more money. Besides from my reading, he was some sort of person with a prestigious background like Eve.
My bet he is some prince from another kingdom or something. Now, I started to plan how I can extort him.
After I finished eating, I slipped away and went to the farthest of his lackey and knocked him out. I do all that one by one in an instant and bring all of them back at him.
"Hey, baldy pay another 1000 gold for your lackey that suddenly attacked me. It seems you misunderstand that when I say 100 gold is just for one person and one battle. Now, you order some of your lackey to attack me before our duel."
"So, pay it first or I will report you trying to gang up on me with all your lackey. You see with my brother's connection even if you will not be getting expelled you will still have a hard time in this academy."
I blackmail him loudly without giving him a chance to justify himself.
As he hears all the surrounding students discussing something about him. Looking at this he immediately throws a bag of coins from his space pouch and launches himself at me.
At this moment, I instantly cast [2nd star - water surge] under his foot while taking the bag of coins with my other hand .
He reacted immediately and reinforced his body to stay at his ground without getting thrown out. During this time, I instantly cast another spell called [1st star - freeze] and freeze all the water surges that come in contact with him.
The result is he entrapped in frozen crystal. Seeing him can't get out of the frozen crystal, I just leave him and go away with my gold coin.
After walking for a while toward the engineering facility, I stop and walk to a certain direction releasing my killing intent to that area.
Feeling my killing intent, the stalker wants to run but I already cast a spell [3rd star spell - Space Trap] to encase the surrounding. I also utilize mageforce all around my body and accumulate it to my sword silently.
"Hmm.. Looks like I need to extort him more since one of his lackeys is also here." As I look at him with an evil smile.
"Do you want to stay alive or dead? Well, I don't care either way, however if you want to stay alive you need…" before I can finish my sentence, he suddenly launched himself at me.
I already predicted this movement the moment I saw him. He thought that since I only use magic during my battle, I will be bad at close combat.
Which makes him prefer to engage me at close range combat. But, this is also one of my cover to mislead my enemy as I may look proficient at range combat due to my magic.
However, I still prefer close range combat since I can integrate all of Septem's past skills. Moreover, I can also enhance some of it with the help of mageforce.
Normally, experienced combatant and high level people will proceed cautiously if they ever meet such a situation.
However, I already cloud his calm by bombarding his senses and reasoning with my killing intent which makes him more panic and desperate for his life.
If a normal being is in condition of getting in a corner, they will be more likely to counter attack without any plan with all his strength desperately.
As soon as he enters my range, I immediately draw my sword which already contains heavy mageforce from all the accumulation [One Sword Style - Thousand Slash].
From his eye I was disappearing and cut him thousand times instantly. This makes me like not moving from my position and he already cut into thousand pieces instantly.
"Ha.. ha… huft.. Foolish people, if you ever feel a huge killing intent that can threaten you it means that being is beyond your power. Moru, don't be like this guy." As I try to calm my breath and mageforce after using a high class sword technique.
Even with the help of mageforge, I still can't use this technique easily. Then, I canceled the space trap spell and walked toward engineering facilities.
I also store and check all the bodyguard's belongings to not leave any evidence while taking care of the corpse with my spell.
It seems some people got alerted because this bodyguard died as I feel some people react differently after I kill this person.
My guess is there is some sort of spell in his body and it will be active if he is dead. That's also the reason I checked all his belongings and took them. This way people will just assume he went into thin air.
There is also no one who will suspect me since I am still an eight years old child while the bodyguard himself seems like a high level person.
Even though it looks like I deal with him easily. However, to kill him instantly, I need to use one of the high level sword techniques that is quite taking a toll on my body even with the help of mageforce.
By the way, the belongings of this person are quite good with some nasty enchantment gear for battle. I guess it was my luck as he didn't activate this enchantment gear when he launched at me or It will prolong the fight.
Finally, after I walked for a while I arrived at the engineering facility. The facility is quite big with a lot of workshops here and there.
After a lot of inquiry to the receptionist, I found that engineering in this work is mainly for using daily life tools such as carriage or ships and other mechanical stuff to help people.
My hope is just gone after I look at the product they sold. Ever since the mechanical technology being replaced with enchanting, engineering has become a less popular job.
I sigh as I notice a person in a certain room that brings out some sort of armor which piques my interest. I immediately go inside the room after unlocking it silently using my unlocking skill. The person inside is Benjamin Blitz, one of my dorm mate.
He keeps himself busy with the armor. There is a lot of cable inside of it. He really focused a lot on the armor a lot without noticing me. Even after I stand close behind him without hiding my presence he still doesn't notice me.
Then I got an idea and shouted at him, "BOOOMM"
"Waaaa…" he jumped out surprised and relieved that there was no real explosion. Then, he turns around after noticing me and hides his work panicky.
"Why do you hide it? I will not steal it from you. Anyway I don't think that needs mageforce to power it up don't you?" as I look at his work.
This guy is really a genius. He invents electricity with just this scrap. But the current is still not big enough to supply an ordinary machine to work properly. It will do just enough to light a bulb.
"What are you doing here? This is a private room. You need to get…" he becomes more panicked.
But, I interrupted him, "If I can give you a higher energy current source can you do my assignment? I bet with your capabilities it was a piece of cake for you." He looked at me surprised because I know about his machine produce and the electric current.
After thinking for a while he sighs, "I don't know from whom you are hearing about my work but do you think creating it is easy? I need a year of research to create this box. And now you propose to me that you can produce a higher source than mine."
I didn't say anything and took a fire mana stone and water mana stone. Looking at this precious stone he surprises but comes back to his calm immediately.
"Don't you know that electric current has the same composition with fire and water element mageforce if it combines."
"Even though nobody has done this yet since dual fire and water mana stone is almost impossible to combine."
"However, I can create this stone and give it to you the finishing product. Besides, I could produce these fire and water stones easily." As I throw two bag full of fire and water stone.
"If you agree to my condition, sign this blood and soul contract. The contract will prevent you from divulging any information about me and you will become my loyal assistant." As I give him the blood and soul contract with an evil smile.
He looked at this contract and thought a lot, "Even if you can get many fire and water stones to synthesize together there is only a small chance for it to be successful. Besides, I bet you will ever find an alchemist that wants to do this task."
I gave him a bracelet that I made in my free time when I was in the mansion.
"Look at this bracelet. It was made of two different types of mana stone though it was not fire and water mana stone. But, it was a proof that I know someone that can alchemy them together. So, what do you think?" in my devil smile.
After a few minutes of hesitation, "Fine, I will just take this bet at you. I just hope you will not be running away." Then, he signed the blood and soul contract with his blood.
As soon as he did it, I shake his hand, "Nice to working with you Mr. Blitz. I hope we can work together well." After that, I leave him from his room and go to my dorm.
