Chapter 34 - The Training Room: Blood, Sweat and Tears

As we walk into the school I can feel a good amount of stares from all the people walking in the hallways. They keep walking after stopping for a few seconds and I can catch some of them drooling. I catch myself going to clutch my katana and stop myself.

We eventually reach the dorm before I tune back into the small talk Angelica and them were making to find some actually relevant information.

"We only have one spare dorm so you guys will have to share, though it very spacious and is right next to the training ground. Speaking of training, you should probably head there to introduce yourselves."

I just slightly nod my head before opening the door while Angelica confirms our attendance and inside I find something like a hotel room, with a washroom to the side and two beds in the middle with a chair and desk along with some couches.

I look around the room before Angelica closes the door and flops onto a bed and starts speaking.

"No ones watching us, were good." After that I take out my alchemy cauldron and some rice I kept from the villagers to make some energy balls. It's not anything fancy, so it just takes a minute to make them before I swallow one and recharge my arm to full.

I lie down on the bed before trying out the magic enhancements. I was finally at a point where there wouldn't be any major side effects from using it. I try using it and I look over my status to find all my physical attributes had increased by 75.

I then hear Angelica hit her head and I look over to see her looking at what I'm assuming is my status. I look over and find no actual damage on her, though the bedframe wasn't as lucky.

"What's up?" She then stops looking at the dent she made and back to me.

"Your strength skyrocketed, what did you do?"

"Magic Enhancement. Basically overloading my body with mana to make it more efficient. It usually has the major side effects if your body isn't strong enough you might explode into a pool of blood." She then looks back to something in front of her.

"I've been meaning to ask about some of your titles and achievements."

"Shoot."

"Why is your race labeled as three question marks?"

"I'm a cyborg, a mixture of man and machine. So while I was born human, it probably wouldn't consider me one."

"How did you get [Underworlds Worst Nightmare] and [Anti-Hero]?"

"I've single handedly wiped out a few mobs and stopped someone from blowing up a bank. The Anti Hero is probably because I've killed at least one person in each of these scenarios."

"Finally, how did you get [Half Yet Whole]?"

"Probably the fact I can toggle another personality and have memories from him, yet I'm not him. I could show you." She looks hesitant for a few seconds before finally answering.

"No, I like you just as you are." She's blushing a bit by the end of this, and I smirk.

"Trying to make me fall for you, huh?" She blushes even more and I realize that I completely trust her, case in point being the fact I'm teasing her.

She stutters for a few seconds before standing up and I figure she has her perfect excuse to leave.

"We have to go to the training ground." She stands up and I follow her while changing my face to the emotionless one I had outside while following Angelica.

We walk into the training room and I get a better look. It's a place full of fancy bricks and the like with wooden dummies and areas for spars and it surprisingly didn't smell like sweat. As we walk in a loud ringing can be heard and everyone turns to see us enter.

As we walk inside everyone has an evil grin, I'm honestly surprised that they would be so helpful as to gather all the dumbasses in one place so I can readjust the food chain.

"Hey look, the dumbasses actually came." Some random buff guy said this at the front of the crowd.

"Right? Can't stand them and their shitty dark magic. Who wants first dibs on the girl?" Some random girl in the crowd had said this while looking at me like I was naked, fucking nasty.

"You guys know how this goes, get the pretty boy guys!" All the guys seem to be rushing towards me and the flat area I'm in is perfect for my latest trick.

As a good bunch of guys rush towards me, another bunch shoots spells from my right and left. I just shadow step into the crowd of mages before casting 10 shadow fists and beating everyone senseless.

By the time they realized I was gone, the whole left side of mages was out cold. When the other group of mages see this they all try to run away only to be grabbed by hands from the floor and then slammed into the floor with enough force to knock them all out.

The melee combatants, in their infinite wisdom, still think they can take me and charge towards me and I simply make more shadow fists and start punching at then like crazy.

Some get hit while others manage to dodge the fists all spread out and try dashing towards me at all angles, some even unsheathing their blades. As they swing at me, I simply catch all their punches and slashes with my shadow hands before breaking an arm for a punch and stabbing their thigh for a sword.

As soon as the girls get a good look at the mayhem before them, they all book it for the exit. I just make massive shadow hands closing in from every direction before and closing them in before I find that Angelica had made shadow hammers above their heads and they all faint upon getting hit.

As I soak in the chaos I just walk towards the exit to find David in all his glory walking inside.
