Mark walked past the corridor and saw some students around there. he walked over to them to ask for direction but...
"excuse me? can you tell me-"
"M-Mark?" the guy stuttered and looked at him.
"it's Mark! no doubt shit!" some other guy followed the suit.
"I am just asking..."
before he could finish the bunch of guys ran away.
"huh?"
Mark was dumbfounded by their reactions, but didn't say a thing more. he went over to the guard outside to ask for directions.
thankfully the guard didn't make it harder and shouted him the way.
he walked over to the boy's dorm. he was surprised to find out that, it was a huge building. not only the dorm but the whole academy was enormously big.
he went over to his room, following the room number on the card.
his room was just like an ordinary dorm room, with a bed and a desk in the first room. and a bathroom attached to it.
but unfortunately, there wasn't a single piece of cloth left in his wardrobe.
he had to sleep in his underwear.
looking at the high ceiling, he sighed. he started to recount the events that happened today.
'it's unbelievable. I am really in the Maddox Elemental Academy.'
'and I am in this Academy, supposed to be dead'
'I have only read the first chapter in the book, and I don't know anything at all...'
'but what should I do from now? this isn't as awesome as it looked from reading a book.'
'and I don't know if I have any magic talent or not.'
' shouldn't I have a cheat, like a System?'
<< ding >>
" the system installation requires hosts' permission." a mechanical voice resounded in his head
"!!!"
Mark widened his eyes and looked around.
"who! show yourself!" he got up shouting from his bed and looked around.
"Required host's permission to install the system."
again the voice sounded.
"system? and who are you?" Mark calmed down a bit and asked.
"I am the assistant assigned to the host. "
"Mark pondered for a while and decided.
"Yes, install the system."
as soon as the words left his mouth, he felt dizzy. His eyes shut down. and he fell on the bed.
<< Installing the system...1...2...3...
98...99...100 >>
<< The Magical system 1.2.6 has been successfully installed. >>
<< warning!! the new version might contain some bugs and glitches.>>
...
soon the next day came,
Mark opened his eyes and looked a bit fuzzy.
he frowned from a headache.
"ouch! what happened is that a dream?"
he stood up and straight went to the bathroom.
he picked a brush from the washbasin and started to brush his teeth.
he looked at the mirror in front of him with a smile.
'looks like, I look the same from before...'
'I don't know what happened to the System-'
<< ding >>
*Cough* *Cough*
he was startled by the sound and swallowed the toothpaste.
<< welcome host to The Magical System 1.2.6, the system shall assist the host to become the greatest mage in the world. >>
A blue, semi-transparent rectangular screen appeared in front of him.
he looked at the screen without blinking for a second.
"so how are you going to help me?"
<< this system has three features for that...
first is, the quest system.
this is where you will be assigned with quests. you can get rewards for success or penalties for failure.
second is the system store.
you can purchase from the store with Magical Points (MP).
(NOTE - you can get MP from quest rewards)
third is the Inventory.
this is an extra-dimensional space assigned to the system.
this has limitless space. but you have to unlock the features yourselves.
scroll up for stats.... >>
"um... interesting..."
he quickly brushed his teeth and went to the shower.
after cleaning himself thoroughly he looked himself in the bathroom mirror.
he was quite amused by his body... unlike his previous self, this appeared more sturdy and muscular.
And he was quite the frequent in the gym back in his world. he admired his body a bit and went out.
there weren't any spare clothes so he dressed in his blue-striped white shirt and the black joggers.
he put the bracelet on and rubbed the screen.
"Miss Lor, thank you for yesterday. I was just wondering what should I do from now? do I have to attend the classes?"
the bracelet turned green and then again black.
Mark didn't have to wait long and soon got a reply.
"you can attend the fighter classes if you want to. but forget about the Magic classes," she said in a cheerful voice, which left Mark with a smile on his face.
he soon walked out of the dorm and approached the guard. "um... hello, can you tell me where's the cafeteria?"
the guard sized him up from top to bottom and then showed him the direction.
Mark was still confused by people's attitudes towards him.
he decided to figure out what was wrong with them.
he went to the cafeteria to get some food. but was soon cut by the worker before the dishes.
"show me your id." he showed it to her and she looked at the is plate with disbelief.
but soon returned it to him.
"Sorry Mr. Flynn, you can have what to want,"
she said and handed him a plate.
Mark didn't bother to inquire her about his change in attitude, because the food comes first.
he filled the plate with bread and stew and went over to find a seat.
the breakfast went well, without any disturbance and with a happy stomach.
After a while, Miss Lor informed him about the class timings.
he went to the first class, swordmaster training. as the name suggests it's a master class only for the registered swordsmen in the academy.
Mark unbeknownst to this went to the classroom.
Everybody around there chatting among themselves turned their attention to Mark.
he looked around to find out what is this all about.
but the teacher interrupted. "silence! please enter the arena."
the students along with Mark Entered the arena behind the classroom.
the arena was an enormous stadium with tracks around it for running. and three fighting rings in the middle.
all students gathered in 3 rows. and Mark was standing at the rear.
"listen students! the manual I gave you last week has the 3rd and 4rth forms of the Emperor's hundred swords. I hope you've practiced it well. today you will be showing me the proper forms and I will examine them."
with that said all students looked at each other.
"first, Kerrel! step forward." the teacher said.
A tall boy with short hair stepped forward. he unsheathed a sword from his waist.
he moved toward a metal training puppet and closed his eyes slightly closed, flashing a white gleam.
he breathed in and stood in his spot, pointing the sword at the dummy.
his right leg stretched back and his back lowered a bit.
"Emperor's 4th sword." he slowly muttered as air surrounded his sword getting restless.
a white glow shone from the tip of the blade as the adrenaline rushed through Mark.
Swish!
within a second his sword moved, creating an arc of flash, and slashed open a deep cut in the metal puppet.
""wow"" all the students applauded.
"hmm... very good performance. now anyone else?" the teacher asked and Kerrel went back to the line.
the students looked at each other but didn't raise their hands.
"hmm.. you! you can do it?" the teacher asked with surprise by the student who is volunteering to demonstrate the move.
"yes! I will do it."
everyone surprised, looked at the young man raising his hand.
"What is your name student?" the teacher asked. as she couldn't see his face.
"Mark Flynn"
