The old man looked at Sam's expression and felt a bit saddened " Do you feel nothing for your old home ? "
Sam looked him straight in the eyes and said " I got nothing from that world . The only thing I brought from there is my name which my parents gave me and nothing else . I had no connections to that place when I left . "
The old man sighed and nodded his head " Well , fine . " He was about to send him away when he said you want to try another test ? "
" Any benefits ? " Sam said as he looked at him .
" How about a casting tool . You don't seem to have one and I quite like your stubbornness . Take it as a gift from me if you can Hurt me even slightly . "
Sam looked at him and felt like he choked " Old man , you are tier 9 . Have you no shame ? Asking a junior like myself to hurt you . "
It was the old man's turn to choke this time . " Fine . How about you force me to make a move ? Will that be easy ? "
Sam smiled as he looked at the old man . " That's what we're talking about . "
While in his mind he asked scout ' What's a casting tool ? '
[ Casting tool : A beginner grade equipment which grows with it's user's masteries . The higher his mastery in elements , the better the casting tool . It needs to be bound with blood and cannot be separated from the body of the user at any time . ]
' Fuck isn't that a scam then ? ' Sam asked .
[ Making a move is when he is forced to stop you from attacking , because he feels danger . You only need to make him feel danger . ]
' How the fuck do I make a tier 9 feel danger ... ' Sam grimaced as he followed behind the old elf but kept his expressionless face the whole time . ' Do you think I should be more low key now that I know I have a bounty on my head ? '
[ A casting tool is an essential part of a magic user's arsenal . Not only does it help with magic , some casting tools even give physical strength to the user . additionally , after an elementary magic user becomes an intermediate magic user , he will no longer be able to grow the tool to its full potential .]
' So basically the earlier I get it the better ? ' Sam asked .
[ Yes . A basic casting tool is always elementary tiered . If it is bound when the user is already at intermediate mastery , it will lose it's chance to evolve when the user goes from elementary to intermediate . ]
' I could always look for a tool outside. Why do I need it from him ? ' Sam asked still not clear about Scout's intentions .
[ The elf is a race well known for holding onto anything they find , even if they don't know what it does . A magic user will immediately know if something is a casting tool or not , but as it can only be bound once , there is a high chance he may hold a treasure and not even know about it . ]
' True . ' Sam thought as he stood in front of the space mage who stood a distance away on what seemed to be a training arena .
Sam looked at the people around him and asked scout . ' How did you say I level up Hunter's Aura again ? '
[ Hunter's Aura : 1 ( 0/10 ) ]
[ Scare creatures to gain experience . ]
Quite a crowd of tier 1s and 2s had gathered when they found that another person was registering to Magica Multiverse directly at a base . It was an uncommon occurrence why only happened when one did not belong to the multiverse originally . They all wanted to see this ' Stranger ' who was going to be challenged by Old Man Mesco as he always challenged ' Strangers ' .
Then they felt pure fright as the on in front of Mesco removed his hood . His eyes were blood red and they shined with a deeper red as the killing intent he had hidden was released in a burst .
More than 1500 tier 1-2 existences were intimidated by the killing intent they felt .
Sam smiled as he received a new level up message in a long time . All he had to do was release he killing intent for a second and he instantly got a new level 4 skill .
" Why ? " The old man asked .
Sam threw a card on the ground in front of him , from which a cat came out . He looked at the old man and smiled . " Isn't it more fun if more people watch ? "
He always kept two decks , one in each of his sleeves , in case he gets sneak attacked like in the movies . He threw them both on his left hand and proceeded with making them fly on top of it .
" A tier 1 ' hurts ' a tier 9 . I'll get famous . I just want to feel that in this new outside world a little . " The nether cat jumped on his shoulder and mewed softly . Sam used his right hand to slightly scratch it's little head . " Still not enough , I guess . "
He released another burst of killing intent and this time , even tier 3 existences frowned as they felt a deep instinctive fear towards the young man who proceeded to cover his head , as well as his face again .
" I'll simply hurt you " He said as he flicked two cards at the old man and followed up with a rain of magic bullets from his right hand as card after card appeared in front of his two stretched fingers .
The bullets didn't even hurt the old man as they were all stopped by a barrier in front of him .
Fire , water , lightning , ice . After 8 waves of these bullets , he smiled and said " I heard you are a space magic user . "
And shot 8 space bullets at the exact same point and watched the show .
The old man felt nothing from the bullets at first , but having high mastery in space , immediately understood the underlying danger .
' Compressed space , shot at a high speed , through the mirror world . ' He thought as he finally set 3 more barriers in front of him .
They were all in his weakest element anyways , so he had no doubt the bullets will break the barriers .
When all the barriers broke he heard Sam shout " Fuck no one told me about more than 1 barriers . " as he flicked two more cards at the old man who finally hit their target . The old man frowned as he looked at the two skulls above his head .
" I choose you ! Nether cat ! " Sam shouted . But after no reaction from the cat on his shoulder he simply went back into the building while saying " Fuck this . This is so unfair . "
When he finally went in the crowd got heated .
" Fuck ! Did you see ? That kid forced old man Mesco to use 3 new barriers . " said a man in a knight armor .
" I know right ? What the fuck was that kid anyways , insta casting 5 elements all at the same time . " a magic user next to the knight responded .
" Humph ! You guys didn't notice it but the space magic he used in the end was almost 30 times as strong as the fire fire magic he used ." A lady next to the magic user ' shared ' her knowledge .
" And what the fuck was that killing intent ? Did he massacre a planet or something ?" A tier 3 by their sound also added .
Everyone was discussing the young mage with shining red eyes while the man in question had been stopped by the space mage .
