[REWARD - Sam the spy]
'Huh? Sam the spy? What is this system?'
[Please read the description host.]
Xavier focused on the inventory icon and saw a silhouette in one of the inventory spaces. He clicked on it and read...

Number - 10
Description - Sam is of the Dark shadow race. A race created by the system to be the host's spy. Current level - 1 - Undetectable by anyone till Martial King realm.]
'System, what does the number 10 mean?'
[There are 10 spies host. You can deploy 10 of them to follow anyone and you'll get information on them 24*7 host.]
'Oh, that's convenient. Will the number increase in the future?'
[Yes host. As long as you can upgrade the skill by doing missions, you'll get more spies.]
'Oh. Well when can I start cultivating? I already have the Chaos Origin technique and I can't wait to cultivate it.'
[Yes host you can start cultivating. But first I suggest that you get some cultivation resources. If you start cultivating now, you'll create a qi turbulence and attract unwanted attention due to the extent your cultivation technique can attract qi.]
'So you suggest I get spirit stones from the academy?'
[Yes host.]
Xavier nodded and slept.
...
The next day, he washed up and reached the academy.
There was only a single elite classroom and it had only 4 people who were selected the day before. He was the last to arrive as the others were quite excited to attend the first day of class.
Richard and Julia sat a little far away from each other and Josh and Xavier sat beside each other. Soon the professor came.
"Hello everyone, I'm Professor Luka Horvat the professor for your 2 years of the elite class and I hope that after 2 years, you can pass the elite exams and join the next programme."
"Today I'll be teaching you the basics of apprentice Mechanics. After all, you have all the basics you need and I hope that in a week, you'll be able to finish the apprentice tests. If you do well, I'll grant you a hundred credits."
When the 4 heard that they'll get 100 credits, their eyes shone. Credits were the currency in the academy. Everything extra you wanted will need credits. Even the spirit stones were to be traded with credits. Ten credits for a spirit stones.
Normal students usually get 100 credits and 10 spirit stones each month. But that's barely enough. So students try to earn credits through doing mission for the academy. Other ways is by doing well in academics and getting awarded by the teacher.
That's why when everyone heard 100 credits, they got very excited. It was a months worth of credits after all.
"OK ,calm down. There is still a week before the exams and you'll be able to show off there. Now let's get the lessons started."
The lessons started and lasted 4 hours and the professor finally let them off.
"And before you go, today I'll be giving you your resources. Come up to me and get them."
The four went near the professor and got a card and a pouch.
"The card is to keep record of the credits you earn and spend. It'll help the academy keep track of your habits. And this pouch has 10 spirit stones. Use them wisely. I know that for some, it'll be not much and you'll get more of them but even so, use them wisely." The professor eyes Richard when he said this.
Richard came from the richest family in the city. So he had hundreds of spirit stones every month to use. So he didn't care much about spirit stones. Even the credits, while he was a little excited about the 100 extra credits, he could get the same amount by asking his uncle.
"You can go to the Mission Hall and take a look at the mission. As soon as you pass the apprentice exams, you can take the missions to earn credits and spirit stones. "
The professor explained some of the workings if the academy and went away.
Just as Xavier was walking out, he was stopped by Richard.
"Bumpkin, I don't know how you did so well yesterday. I'm challenging you to a battle on the apprentice exams. If I get a better score than you, you'll be my slave for the rest of your life."
'Not this again. I'll now ask what if I win and he'll tell that he'll give me something or do another. And when I win I'll just get more enemity and then it'll be a case of 'Hit the little one, the big one comes next' and it'll go till someone gets killed.'
"No tha..."
Just as he was about to reject
[MISSION - Here comes the first unfaithful challenger.
Description - You have been issued a challenge by a person who will not keep his word no matter what. Win the challenge and humiliate him.
REWARD - Skill - Words have consequences.]
'Ooo, what's this skill system.'
[The system hates people who don't understand the consequences of their words. So this is a skill which punishes such people and it does it according to the extent up to which the person in question tries to escape from the conditions.]
'Oh, that's nice.'
"OK but what if I win?"
"Hmph do you think you'll win? Do you know who I am. I'm Richard Wade, the genius of the Wade family. You are just a poor bumpkin. What can you give me?"
"Well if you win ,I'll be a slave of you for life and if I win what will you do? Be my slave? If you don't give me anything it'll be a one sided blabber. If you want a fight, you'll have to put something at stake. Like how about a 1000 spirit stones and you'll kneel in front of me and apologize."
"Hmph do you think I need to accept your conditions? Do you know who I am?"
"Of course I do. You're just a bitchy young master who can't stand losing clout before your cunts that's all. Now either accept your challenge or go away."
Richard gritted his teeth and finally said," Hmph, OK I'll accept the challenge. You better be ready when you lose."
Richard snorted and turned away.
