Kore, who was huffing and panting, looked up at the messages he got. Even though he nearly died in this fight, he only got one level up. One could assume that in comparison to other monsters, this one was rather weak, but that was only half true. ´Did it...-´ Kore thought to himself. ´commit suicide?´ Kore could see it before the frog died. Its eyes looked like it was somewhere else in its thoughts, and as they became a bit watery, it started scratching its own body. Kore might have killed it, but he basically had help. If it was the same as when he helped defeat Turb, it might be counted that Kore didn't get full XP because rather than directly killing it he had helped it kill itself.
"Kore, Are you alright?" Zyn asked from behind.
"You look pretty worn out from these flies," Leo, who seemed more like a battle maniac than a tinkerer lately, said.
The two of them actually finished with their frog pretty easily. Leo played around a bit with the frog, and eventually it fell asleep during the battle. After that, he thought it would be funny if he put the whole tongue back in the frog's mouth. The frog couldn´t breath anymore because of that and because Leo kept casting his magic, it also couldn't wake up. Basically, he suffocated it to death with a few smiles here and there.
Zyn actually fought the frog, not like Leo. He used mirrors to hide himself in the mass of himself, and when it attacked the mirror, the attack would repel against itself. Of course, that didn't work out for long, so Zyn had to show himself. As the frog was swinging at Zyn, he let a mirror appear in front of him before its attack could hit, and that was basically how Zyn managed to defeat it without getting a scratch.
Zyn and Leo finished around the same time and watched Kore´s fight without interrupting him. They wondered why Kore didn´t use his element but thought it needed some time to prepare or it had a cooldown which needed to end since using it on Turb last time. Only when they saw the frog scratching on itself at the end it seemed like Kore used its element as they were unaware of what was happening in it´s head.
Kore went forward with what little strength he had left with the poison in his body until he was in front of the frog´s corpse and a message appeared.
[There is a corpse in front of you]
[Do you want to let it reincarnate?
[Yes/No]
[Yes]
[The dead want to have revenge against it´s murderer in it´s next life].
[The dead will do anything in their power to kill the user].
[The soul of the dead was cleaned]
[The dead will reincarnate in two months].
[The user's body and soul were healed]
[Hp: 14/14]
Once again, Kore's maximum HP went up by two because of his level up. His Mp also went up by one again when he looked, and he also got three new stat points he can put anywhere he wants to.
[The egg is happy about its master's new found strength].
[80% hatching finished]
When the light of the reincarnation appeared around Kore and the dead frog, Leo and Zyn were taken aback. They weren't really sure what Kore's element was exactly, but they were sure it had something to do with the opponents' mind. They were sure it was something they couldn't see but only felt when Kore would use it against them like he did with Turb and the frog. Unaware what his element was, they wanted to ask Kore himself, but, of course, now they had to get interrupted.
"FALL BACK EVERYONE!" The voice of Professor Dreos could be heard coming their way.
The watches they had around their wrists sent a signal to the outside of the dungeon that there was someone in critical health in the dungeon. The people who saw that were surprised, as there was no enemy near them that could pose a threat to a normal student of the academy. But as Professor Dreos arrived, the only thing he could see were three students in perfect health who had just defeated a few frogs.
"What happened here?" Dreos asked, a bit embarrassed. "Is anyone of you injured?"
"No, Sir!" Zyn spoke as he soluted. "Everything is fine here."
"This isn't a military academy." Leo whispered to Zyn. "Even though they basically teach us the same things they would do there"
What Leo had said was true as the Magic Academy mostly trained the magicians so they could become stronger, but it wasn't like a military academy as they still tried to teach them other things.
"That's weird." We got a signal that somebody here is gravely injured. " Dreos spoke, but as soon as he saw Kore behind the other two, he cleared his throat and spoke again. "The student, Kore Gerus, shall be brought with me for an interrogation. The rest of the students present will not be needed for now. If they do, we will ask you to come with us at a later time. "
"Yes, Sir!" Zyn saluted again
"This is still no military academy," Leo whispered again.
´I don't know why, but I hate this guy´ Kore thought to himself.
"Now I'm going to escort student Kore Gerus out of the dungeon!" Professor Dreos announced, in a loud tone.
