Fog of War [C90]
The next day.
Upon waking up, Shu Himo saw as the first thing the face of Phylia, and broke into a smile, "Good morning Phylia, was it boring these last days? Due to the test, I had most of the time occupied."
Shaking her head, Phylia replied with a smile, "It's fine, anyway now those tests are ended."
Hearing her, Shu Himo could not help but to pat her head while lamenting her cuteness.
Suddenly, Shu Himo heard a sound he did not hear for a while, *Ding*
[Quest Success: Reach S Class During the Next Test!]
[Quest Difficulty: S+]
[Quest Reward: 300 BS points.]
[You now have 349 BS points!]
'Wow, I feel to be rich.'
[The User is saying that now, but after a couple days the User will already have used all of the BS points.]
'With all your scams I would not be surprised.'
Pondering for a moment, Shu Himo then said, 'System, I want to upgrade the battle suit to hide the quality of my cultivation technique, right now is too risky to let others know that I'm cultivating a legendary cultivation technique.'
[Detracting 100 BS points…]
[Thanks for your patronage!]
[You now have 249 BS points!]
[(High-grade growth Earth Suit) Battle Suit]
[Passive abilities: [CQ Hiding lv_1].]
[Growing quality requirement: Buying additional passive abilities.]
[CQ Hiding lv_1]
[Allow hiding the quality of the cultivation technique used.]
'Wait… why is it called Battle Suit? Isn't that just an awful name?'
[The User did not set any names for it, so it stayed like that until now.]
Pondering for about five minutes, Shu Himo finally found out a proper name, 'I have chosen a name, as the first ability of the battle suit is about hiding something, and that my style of combat is based on mystery and deception, the name of the Battle Suit will be Fog of War!'
[This is impossible! The User actually gave such a profound meaning to a name? Is this really the same User as before? And how is the style of combat of the User based on mystery and deception?]
'Obviously it's me! Who else would it be?' Hearing the system, Shu Himo felt offended, isn't that like saying that he has no poetic sense?
[Whatever…]
[The Battle Suit is now renamed to Fog of War.]
[(High-grade growth Earth Suit) Fog of War]
[Passive abilities: [CQ Hiding lv_1].]
[Growing quality requirement: Buying further passive abilities.]
Seeing the new name of the suit, Shu Himo's eyes sparkled in happiness, 'Such a beautiful name!'
[If the User says so.]
Now that he has no risk about someone finding out the quality of his own cultivation technique, Shu Himo can think about the next expense, 'System, I want to buy the fragment of the Legendary Myriad of Ways cultivation technique of the 2nd string.'
[Detracting 150 BS points…]
[Thanks for your patronage!]
[You now have 99 BS points!]
While the strings of information about the fragment are entering his head, Shu Himo finally realized, 'I already used 250 BS points…'
[The system just said days, but it seems that a couple minutes were enough to use most of the BS points…]
With a heartbroken expression after making such a big expense, Shu Himo is now sitting cross-legged on the bed, cultivating following the Fragmented Legendary Myriad of Ways(2nd String) Dantian Core Formation cultivation technique.
Meanwhile, Phylia is looking attentively that nothing bothers Shu Himo while massaging his shoulders.
-----
A couple of hours later.
Shu Himo, seated cross-legged on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, now emanating everywhere a stronger pressure than before.
'Finally, I reached the 2nd string!'
With a smile on his face, he then immediately wanted to check his status, 'Status!'
[Shu Himo, 7 Years old]
[Hp: 100%] [Mp: 1950]
[Strength: 167] [Resistence: 145] [Agility: 190]
[Dexterity: 180] [Intelligence: 195] [Wisdom: 223]
[Realm: Dantian Core Formation] [Stage: 2nd String]
[Skills: [Intimidation lv_1], [Hopper lv_2].]
[Unique Skills: [Steal Illusion].]
[State: ...]
[The maximum stats for the 2nd String is 250!]
Seeing it, Shu Himo was shocked, he had finally two max stats before, but now they are not even close to being maxed!
As if seeing through Shu Himo's thought, the system replied.
[The system did say that once the User reached the 2nd string the stats would not be maxed.]
Not even feeling like replying to the remark of the system, Shu Himo just prepared himself to go outside of the room.
-----
A couple minutes later, Shu Himo and Phylia walked outside of the room but they both immediately frowned.
'Is someone spying me?' Looking around, Shu Himo did not manage to see anyone, however, the unpleasant feeling did not vanish at all.
Pondering for a moment, he did not know if he can beat someone able to spy himself, so Shu Himo decided that it was better to just ignore it, and continued walking nonchalantly.
Meanwhile, the three teachers are now covered in cold sweat due to the surprise of being instantly noticed and looked at each other, clearly with baffled expressions. They all knew that the S class students are all monsters, but seeing that even the newcomers are able to spot them, they all felt dejected.
Suddenly, Shu Himo and Phylia entered a portal, and the teachers followed them.
A moment later, Shu Himo and Phylia entered another portal, and the teachers followed them.
Once again, Shu Himo and Phylia entered another portal, and the teachers followed them.
-----
Thirty-two portals later.
Shu Himo and Phylia ultimately managed to reach their objective: the armory!
Feeling happy to have finally found it, they went inside with a smile on their face.
Hidden at about twenty meters of distance from them there are the three teachers, all of them with expressions in disbelief: to reach this place five portals were enough! How can someone manage to get lost when there are the signs on top of each portal?
Feeling to get crazier every minute passed by surveilling Shu Himo, the three teachers did not give up and went inside the armory, chasing behind him.
