148 Constant Battle
“He killed most of the flying beasts! All in one shot, whether 5th grade or 4th grade, damn!” A student cursed seeing Zevien kill the last flying magic beast above the forest by using his <Blood Hook> to pull it away from another student.
Eight students could fly, and all of them were trying to kill flying magic beasts with low competition, but Zevien still killed the most. In two hours, they cleaned the entire area above the forest.
“He’s using mana stones to recover his mana quickly, not holding back on costs in the slightest,” Afina said with a pout. “We got money, so we should have bought tons of mana stones as well. Tsk, let’s go to the Headteacher and ask if he has mana stones for us to buy.”
“We can also submit our beast cores and see how many points we got,” Kaal said with a nod. “I want to see the special shop.”
On the other hand, Vernisia approached Zevien. “Let’s return to the ship and convert our beast cores into points and take a brief break before diving into the ground battles.”
“Yep,” Zevien said as he sat down behind her before Vernisia commanded Lyn to fly descend towards the ship on the river.
After arriving on the deck, they went towards one of the teachers who was not busy and dumped all their beast cores, a total of 118 beast cores.
Afina and Kaal were assessing their beast cores just beside them, so they were looking at Zevien and Vernisia to see how many they collected. Seeing the pile of 118 beast cores, their jaws dropped. That was more than double theirs!
“Tsk, just what kind of power are you using that bolts your magic power beyond 5th class?” Afina clicked her tongue and asked. “And how many mana stones you have?”
“Secret :),” Zevien smiled and turned to the teacher, counting their stones.
Vernisia was looking around and wondered. “Where is the secret shop?”
“It’s inside,” Dunlax answered while laying on the beach chair with closed eyes. His hand is pointing at the cabin stairs.
After Afina and Kaal’s assessment was done, they got a card with their points added to it. “Let’s buy magic crystals with these points if we can. So we can power up over ourselves right away, humph. We have to do better,” Afina snorted.
“Yeah,” Kaal nodded with his usual deadbeat response while having an expressionless face with drooping eyes.
After they walked into the cabin, the teacher in front of Zevien and Vernisia was also done counting.
“You have 86 5th-grade beast cores and 32 4th-grade beast cores. The point system we have is pretty simple. 10 points for each 5th-grade beast core and 30 points for each 4th-grade beast core,” the teacher explained before she put away all beast cores into her storage ring and took out a card.
She scanned the card with her own unique rectangle card and infused mana before [1820] appeared on the card.
“Here’s the card,” the teacher gave the card to Vernisia before smiling at them. “Good job.”
Zevien and Vernisia nodded smilingly before they walked towards the stairs descending into the cabin. Just as they entered, Afina and Kaal came out with Afina having a foul mood. “So expensive.”
“Don’t bother going inside if you don’t have 2000 points,” Afina said as she looked at Zevien and Vernisia. “The lowest white-rank magic crystal cost 2000 points.”
“Oh…that’s expensive,” Vernisia wryly smiled. “Well, let’s not waste time looking at the shop then.”
“Mhmm,” Zevien nodded with a grin as he cracked his knuckles. “Back to the battlefield.”
“Teacher Dunlax, do you have mana stones for us? We want to buy,” Afina shouted before she walked towards Teacher Dunlax. Kaal followed her.
“I have. But not many.”
“I will buy it all!”
…
Zevien flew through the forest with his boomerang in one hand and a dark purple orb in his other hand.
Since Alucard used all of Tarto’s magic spells in the contest, Zevien had not used any of Tarto’s magic spells here.
He only used boomerang and <Rage Ball> to kill magic beasts. He kept his magic power at 3000 even though he could now let it reach 4100 because 3000 magic power was enough and he wanted to have a gap between him and Alucard.
*Swoosh…*
Zevien threw his boomerang towards a 5th grade Horned-Owl ten meters away on a tree and killed it before quickly collecting its beast core and putting it inside his storage ring.
*Rawr!*
Zevien saw a 4th-grade bear magic beast suddenly spawning in front of him and then crashing into him as he couldn’t stop in time. The bear was pushed back a bit, but it roared and swiped its glowing claws and roared again to release a sound wave attack.
Zevien was speechless at such an incident but he dodged the claw attack and released a fully charged <Rage Ball> costing him 1000 mana that launched towards the bear’s head.
The range was too close, so the bear couldn’t react fast enough to do anything as its head exploded.
Zevien sensed its beast core’s location and cut its chest with the boomerang’s sharp edges before taking out the beast core with his hand.
*Creeeeee!*
Zevien heard another magic beast’s cry behind him and quickly turned around to see a big mantis with sharp green claws rushing towards him.
“Another 4th grade? Haha, nice!” Zevien laughed as he quickly infused mana in the boomerang and threw it towards it.
The mantis tried to dodge, and it succeeded in doing that, but Zevien didn’t move away from his spot and just stood there with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
The mantis became even more ferocious after seeing Zevien not running away and increasing its speed. However, when it was just a meter away from Zevien and was preparing to swing its sickle-like claw, its head rolled down and Zevien caught his boomerang that was burning with dark green fire.
After taking the beast core of the Sickle Mantis, Zevien continued hunting for more beast cores.
…
Four hours later, Zevien and Vernisia decided to take a break and returned to the ship with their haul.
