Chapter 15
I was in the library sitting in front of me was Olaf.
"The dance meditation is a tribal dance form used by the elves. The elves are very protective towards nature and the rain dance method is made by them, now that I have read the technique, the method is divided into two one is the dance steps and the second is the breathing technique, now I want you to learn the dance and use the breathing from the moonlight technique. This will help you gain mentality faster. I hope you know that the more your breakthrough, your speed in absorbing mana also decreases hence you need to continue updating your methods."
"So, you want me to dance in the moonlight" I asked Olaf.
"Yes" it will help you gain mentality faster.
I got out of the library, moved my bed to the corner and started practising the dance. I joined the school to learn magic now I am learning tribal dance. When it was night time I tried dancing and breathing as Olaf instructed, it was hard since I have a weak constitution, I get tired fast, but I can feel my mentality increasing twice as fast.
A month later
MENTALITY: 16
For the last month I studied card making with Nolla after that I tried making few myself and succeeded. I would talk with Annie and Harry most of the time. Annie got accepted as a student of an elder wizard apparently she had talent for divination. Harry reached rank 1 and did a few missions outside.
I made some attack cards that would shoot bullets, a shield card that can cast a shield around the user and a bomb card that can explode. I learned the bomb card from my library, I made 100 of them but sold only a few so that they would not find anything suspicious.
I copied some spells from the library they are
Water shield: can cast a shield made out of water around the caster.
Clean: helps you clean with water.
Shadow step: a dark movement spell that allows the use to move faster.
Smoke: produce thick smoke that blind the people around.
Reinforcement: a non-elemental spell that increases the user's strength temporarily.
Bullet: a non-elemental spell that shoots bullet at your opponent.
Now I have 3 water element spell including water blade, 2 dark element spells, and 2 non element spell.
During this time, I used the school library and learned about the monsters and plants.
Now I have a few things to do, first I need to clean the storage ring, it is full of dead bodies of bandits and some knights, the bodies are starting to rot, I wonder if I can sell them? I should ask Nolla.
I got dressed and went downstairs. I met up with Annie, Harry and Harry's girlfriend Lindy.
"So, tomorrow is your first mission, you want my help?" Harry asked me, for the last month Harry went on a couple of mission with a party he joined.
"No, it's fine, it's an easy one" I answered.
I choose an easy mission yesterday since I wanted to get out of the academy, I also wanted to know about my wanted poster by the Betton family.
After breakfast I went to Nolla and asked about the bodies, I told her that I encountered some bandits on my way to the academy and she believed me.
"You can go to Garla Island, the one where the academies enrolment takes place. There is a black market, you can sell anything in there, make sure to hide your bracelet and face, you don't want someone coming after you." Nolla whispered to me.
The next day I went to the mission stand and took a mission; it is to gather some blue seaweed that can be found in the forest of Garla.
I went to the teleportation stone and came to Garla Island.
First, I need to sell some rune cards for magic crystals. I only had 20 magic stones left with me and merit points is not accepted outside the academy.
I first went to a shop and bought a mask to cover my face, I then kept my bracelet in the storage ring, I was wearing my casual cloths so they can't find my identity.
I went to a rune shop and sold 5 cards for 500 magic stones. Then I went to the place the black market was. I went through an alley way only to reach a dead end; I walked into the wall and reached the black market. The black market had more shops that outside, they sold variety of goods, slaves both illegal and legal.
I went into a store titled spell book, the shop owner was an old man at least rank 5 apprentices, I looked around for more suitable spells for me. I found one named illusion face, it was a dark spell that can change my face but the problem is that it can only change the face all the other parts of the body will be normal, I copied the spell. My eyes fell upon a scroll it is dusty and worn out I asked the owner about it.
"Thats a defective one found in an inheritance; ground many tried to learn it but only failed."
"Can I take a look" I asked the owner.
"Sure" he replied.
The title of the spell scroll was Berserker. I read through the spell, from the information the spell increases one's strength, agility and regeneration for a short duration.
"Buy it, that's a mutant spell" Olaf shouted in my head.
A mutant spell I wonder what energy it belongs to.
"I will have this scroll" I looked at the owner.
"Are you sure sir, it is defective" the old man looked at me. Seeing my silence, he decided to give up.
I bought the scroll for just 100 magic stones; it was cheap since it was defective.
"Where can I sell some dead bodies", I asked the old man. Go to left from there you will meet a guy called max you can sell it him; the old man was indifferent in his answer during his time in the black market he had seen many kinds of people.
I thanked the old man and met up with Max, I sold all the corpses for 40 magic stones, it was fine since most of the bodies were rotting.
After that I left the black market and went into the forest. I walked into the forest and stopped walking.
"You know my life in the academy was good, I made friends, a good mentor but I forgot something important, I am not like the rest of them. I just enjoy watching people suffer. Come out you rats" I shouted.
As I thought somewhere following me from the black market, they were at least rank 1 apprentice about 5 of them.
"Come on kid we know you are just a rank 1 apprentice; we outnumber you. So, you better give us everything you got. We saw you selling some cards at the runesmith" one of them who looked 40 years old shouted.
"Okey, I surrender, please don't hurt me. You can have everything" I begged. I took off my storage ring and threw it high in the air.
"SMOKE"
"ANALYZE".
