Chereads / The Two of the Magic Academy / Chapter 5 - Travel [02]

Chapter 5 - Travel [02]

It's been a day and a half since we've entered through this forest. During this time, I especially practiced my AIMBOT skill. 

I threw about four hundred stones while we were travelling. I stop the carriage and pick up more stones. When my first stack was over, I stopped again and picked up even more stone. 

I also noticed that with AIMBOT, you can earn experience just by throwing stones.

[ HACKS UNLOCKED: ]

[ AIMBOT ]

Exp Required: 200/500 exp

Range: 10m

Set Target: Default

I currently have around two hundred experience points and need another three hundred to level up this skill. 

I also tested the default option and it's better than the others. For example...

I looked outside the window again to find something to shoot.

I found a frog appearing in front of the carriage. I picked up the smallest stone I had and aimed it at the frog's hand. I waited until he was within ten meters of range and threw the stone at him with all my might. The stone stabbed the frog's hand and damaged part of his stomach as well.

Basically, the default options help you shoot anywhere you want, as long as you focus on the place where you want to shoot with your mind. It is a combination of head, neck, torso, legs and weapon options.

But I can't use the default option when using the sword. Because if I lose focus, I can hurt someone I didn't intend to. 

"Hey Javier, are we there yet?" I asked.

"No, Lord Devian." He said.

Silver, greasy hair neatly coiffured to reveal a craggy, worried face. Dead gray eyes, set far within their sockets, watch anxiously over the city they've defended for so long.

A birthmark reaching from just under the left eye , running towards the left side of his lips and ending on his right cheekbone leaves an intriguing memory of fortunate adventures.

Javier is quite tall which makes him stronger than the other knights in the territory.

I don't have a very good relationship with Javier. We were silent the whole time in the one and half day, and spoke only when necessary. 

*HORSE SOUND*

"What is happening!?" I shouted.

"Nothing, just some bandits." He said.

Looking out the window, I saw the horse hit by an arrow. Javier readied his sword and took a fighting stance. He stepped down from the carriage and looked in the direction where the arrow came from.

About eight bandits came out of the forest. Three of them carried crossbows, others carried axes. One of the bandits walked towards Javier to reason with him to give all our money and belongings but..

"We are the-" Before the bandit could finish his sentence, Javier threw his sword at the neck of the bandit.

The bandit's eyes rolled up and he coughed out blood after which he fell to the ground.

"Cheaters! Attack them at once!" A bandit shouted.

Javier took his sword out and began slashing the bandits left and right as if they were butter.

That was to be expected since every knight has a rank which makes them different from the others.

Captain General [ Z Rank ]

First Marshal [ SSS+ Rank ]

Second Marshal [ SSS Rank ]

Third Marshal [ SS Rank ]

Commander [ S Rank ]

Lieutenant [ A-B Rank ]

Sergeant [ C Rank ]

Man At Arms [ D Rank ]

Guardsman [ E Rank ]

Footsman [ F-G Rank ]

These are the titles awarded to a knight when he joins the Academy. Javier is a C Rank so he can easily defeat the bandits as if he was slapping some mosquitoes.

He killed two of the bandits. Other bandits realised his strength and tried to escape. 

"Wait. I think I can help." I said as I got out of the carriage with my bag of stones.

I took out a bag full of stones and prepared to throw them. Using AIMBOT, I threw the bag over the bandit's right leg. The bag was so heavy that it broke the bandit's knee. He fell to the ground and watched his companions flee without even thinking of helping him. 

"It's unfortunate that they escaped but we managed to capture one of them." I said to Javier who was standing near the body of the two bandits whom he had killed.

"They won't." He said as he used his mana to enhance his body and ran inside the forest. In less than a minute, loud, bloodthirsty cries were heard from the forest. I could imagine what was going on there. Javier is two ranks above them. How did they come up with getting away from him?

After a minute, Javier reappeared back from the forest.

"He is the final one." He said as he looked at the last bandit who was unconscious on the ground.

"Wait. We should hand him to the adventurer's guild. We can get quite a nice amount of silver or even platinum coins for the reward." I said as he took a look at the bandit.

Javier then brought a rope which he found from the other bandit's equipment.

Javier then took a rope from another bandit's belongings and tied him up. I gathered the bandit's equipment in the carriage. Leather armor, six small daggers, three crossbows, five axes, two pouches with bronze coins.

I could sell these for some quick money but it may very well be stolen goods. While I was searching inside the bandit's pocket, I found something. A badge with a smiling sun logo.

I don't know what it is but I definitely am not interested in it.
