After several people in the crowd thanked Adan for his courageous act the crowd started to disperse, the excitement of the moment being in the past. So alas Adan decided to head back to the academy and get something to eat before the mess hall closed for the night.
Ding.... "Well brat you've done it this time! Since you saved that snot nosed little bastard a second time despite knowing the risk to your own life and risking serious injury to yourself, you've been awarded the beginner Yang rewards package. You're well on your way to becoming a real Hero" the old geezer system said to him with a bit of sarcasm in his voice.
"Rewards package? What's that and how do I use it?"
"Just think about it kid, you really aren't that smart are you?" the geezer system replied with a cackling laugh.
Adan thought about the rewards the system had given him and a small red box appeared in his right hand instantly. Adan held the box in his hand debating for a moment before opening it, instantly two items appeared in his mind. An item the size of an ink pen and a pill, when he focused on the pen shaped object a description appeared. (Versatile tool - this object can transform into any basic tool at the will of the host. ie. shovel, axe, pen or bread knife. As long as it's a basic tool with limited function this item can assume it's form.)
When he looked toward the pill in his minds eye he almost cried out in shock. (Internal energy status pill - this pill will cleanse the host of all negative effects and strengthen the internal energy. If the host has no internal energy, the pill will then instead grant the host the ability to absorb the energies of the Heavens and the Earth to begin cultivating internal energy.)
Adan was shocked to say the least, he was in the academy apprenticeship program because he had the ability to absorb magical energy. However, he had never heard of internal energy?! He focused on the pill and it appeared in his hand immediately, he shoved it into his mouth and quickly swallowed it down.
"I don't feel any different than before I took the pill... Did I get ripped off?" There was no reply from the geezer system, apparently he was tired of answering Adan's countless questions. A thought flashed through his mind that said figure it out you little shit head. He could mentally hear an old man laughing.
So, Adan chose to continue to the mess hall, upon arriving he sat down to eat. Unfortunately, there was no beef stew left, this made a little upset. However, it was his own fault for staying out so late in the day it was already closed to time for the mess hall to close for the night. So, Adan reached for a few of the hot rolls, sadly they were room temperature rolls now. Nonetheless, he chewed a few of them up and swallowed them down with a mug of cider.
"The only thing left for me to do tonight is to go to sleep I suppose." He arose from the wooden bench and made his way back to his sleeping quarter. As he lay down on his bed he smiled and said "Old geezer, thanks for helping me out today, I doubt I would have been able to save that boy without your assistance." He sensed a beaming smile radiating through his mind as the geezer system thoroughly enjoyed being praised! "I'm glad you know when to be appreciative, maybe you aren't so bad after all brat!"
It wasn't long after that he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
