For a summary, magic theory class taught about a few theories that the researchers have tested and the basic information about cells. There was only 1 lesson of this every week as there was not much content to cover, due to the kingdom having no budget to fuel research and inturn add more content for the students to learn.
I guess the silver lining was that the kingdom was barely funding the academy. After all, the academy was necessary to provide a consistent flow of magic users that can contribute to society. For the rest of the day, it was just magic firing practice... How dull.
At the end of the day, the instructor came with good news. There was a tournament next week, since it was just a week after enrolment, there wasn't such a big prize, but the tournament ranks the participants. Depending on rank, we may get some minor privileges like queuing at the shorter queue at the canteen or 1 on 1 training with recognised instructors, almost quaranteed to improve you a little bit at the end of the day.
My only interest was in the shorter queue and the extra break of 30 minutes, giving me 2 periods of rest and a faster way to get my food. I probably won't use the other privileges and didn't care for 1st place.
After the bell rang, a few girls decided to approach me. "Follow us", what seemed to be the leader ordered. Thinking nothing of it, I decided to follow them, just as expected... I was led to an alley... "Let me guess, is it by any chance about james?" The girl's eyes widen in anger. She raises her fist. "Are you sure you want to fight a lv 50?"
"That was just a lie to impress James! Your an illusion magic user!"(random girl A)
*heeh, heeh* I accidentally chuckled from my twisted sense of humor. Random girl A swings her fist at me. My normal agility alone exceeded the speed of sound by a thousand times. As her fist got nearer to me, it vanished. There was a red mist. The shock was sudden, she stared at her fist before screaming.
Immediately, I activated 4 [Ex speed enhancment-tier 3] s, with that my agility reached 1 million and I rewinded time to a minute before. Bringing her future memories back to the present, she kept her memories of her hand vanishing and collapsed on the ground. "Aww you broke just after 1 time, even though I" healed" you." Slowly, she turned her face from looking down up to looked at me, her eyes balls shaking a little. She was trembling, did I just cause a trauma she couldn't recover from? Whoops. The other 2 girls were terrified, guess they were a pack of chihuahuas and not the wolves they think they were.
That twisted humour earlier was just me thinking about how I many times I was going to turn that arm into red mist and rewind again. I thought that I would get bored, but she broke after the first try, so i decided to just leave her alone.
Looking at my stats, they exceeded the orc king by a huge margin now, at least my agility did. Did he perhaps only get the wrath stone right before he fought me? Or was it perhaps not used because he decided to ingest it....wait a minute, don't tell me he put it up his a...NO, I will not finish that sentence.
After that dumb ordeal with the red mist and the random girl A, I walked out of the alleyway and what do you know? Another cliched situation, just with some random thugs. They were all above level 50.But due to my wrath stone, my stats are kinda overpowered. So I just zoomed past them, maybe nicked a few coins...
I proceeded into the direction of the church. After asking the instructor, it turns out these churches are ancient monuments, built by god and maintained by their followers up till these days. When I saw the actual church though, it looked like it had been neglected for a 20 years.
The class titles were actually just so-called revelations from the god residing over that shrine, though they are accurate in giving you the appropriate class corresponding with your personality.
But not preference though,so theres always one or two people causing trouble in front of the shrine. But for some reason, there are buff priest there to keep the adventurers in check. They picked a SUPPORT role but they have more muscles than some vanguards, they probably even use their class to give themselve strength buffs. Well, I can't say anything as I may get a priest role too, and I stacked a bunch speed buffs on myself all the time.
[get class]
[pay 5 gold]
Wow, it looks exactly like a gacha. Since overtime, the currency used changes, the priest would provide the 5 gold the first time, consequent uses would cost money to exchange for the gold. Some people get the same class as their first time, but some may evolve their class over time.
Welp, I guess its time to press the button. There was a singular flash of light, I was filled with anticipation. What is it? What is my class?
[you forgot to put in the coins]
Ah. All that anticipation just died in 1 second. I glared at the priest next to me for not putting in the coins. The priest blushes in embarrassment from failing at their one job. Looking closer I was shocked, all the priest were lv 100 + with the one next to the shrine, responsible for putting in the old coins at lv 170.
Putting in the coins this time, I press the button once more. My class is...?
