[school panic

Students left 489/1687 ]

After a quick headcount John noticed that every student left in the school was in the canteen right now but one thing that bugged him was that someone was missing.

"wheres Mr brown?" John asked in confusion

The others looked around in fear as they didn't know what to tell him but after a minute of awkward silence someone stepped forward.

It was Sophia someone in his year group but he never really talked to her due to being in different social circles.

"for some reason he started attacking us all for no reason and he became stronger then even the goblins so we had to kill him before he seriously injured someone. I'm sorry."

Sophia spoke in a hurry and in An apologetic tone

John looked at her in pity, after all she had to kill one of her teachers he was just sorry that he wasn't there to help with it. Together everyone started to create more spears and it turns out that some people even managed to use the skin to create a type of breastplate, although it was rather crude it still helped. After completing the spears and the breastplates John received a new notification, one he hasn't seen before.

[would you like to gain some info?]

[ YES ] [ NO ]

[WARNING: one stat point will be randomly deducted ]

John looked at the system notification in suspicion. If the information proved useful then they might be able to use it to defeat the goblin mayor but if not then he would of wasted a stat point for no reason.

"YES." John spoke to himself wondering what information he would gain

[command received]

[information received]

[equipment reacts to magic]

[-1 DEF]

John looked at the information in annoyance.

'what the hell goes that mean!' he screamed internally

Did he just waste a stat point for nothing. Wait no, he could see magic atleast thats what he thought he could see judging by the skills name (magic tracking) and he could see that magic moved based on outside influence. Unfortunately that still didn't help, magic can move it flows through the air, it's everywhere so what does that mean.

'dammit think.' John thought once more

Magic can move on its own and by outside influence such as breathing, walking, talking even their heartbeat moved the magic slightly. No that's right magic moved with the heartbeat, something so small can influence magic so what if he could influence magic with his thoughts? He had already done that using skills so why not now? He focused and used the skill (morale boost) after it activated he focused closely on what was happening in his body.

Right by his heart he felt something move, it moved slowly through his body. First it moved to his head then suddenly rushed down his entire body to the bottom of his legs and after that a pulse erupted from him but no one reacted to it, they only felt their mood increase as they rested. After sitting there for a few minutes trying to remember the feeling he decided to try and replicate it once more.

Focusing by his heart he tried feeling the magic but nothing worked no matter how much he focused he couldn't feel a thing.

[skill (meditation) learnt]

[meditation Lv:1

Helps focus on magic and replenishing your magic supply ]

John looked at the gained skill but didn't feel any better. Why couldn't he figure it out? Looking at the time John was surprised to notice that the time was already 19:37

'its that time already?' John thought as he stood up

His legs were slightly stiff so he walked around for a minute so he could stretch them out.

"so your finally awake." Terry said to him as she walked up

Looking at Terry he noticed that she was wearing all her equipment as though she was ready to leave

"yeah I'm awake I was trying to figure something out. Anyway what's with the equipment we should be relaxing not sitting in uncomfortable clothing." John asked in confusion

Terry looked at what she was wearing in surprise as though she forgot what she was wearing

" well I was going to leave for a bit to try and get more materials and hopefully improve my technique. " she replied as she scratched her head

John sighed as he got his equipment on.

"well I'm not leaving you to go on your own after all how are you going to carry all of your equipment back" John stated before rushing to the door after her

"hey bring us to." josh shouted as he ran to the front with the other party members running behind him

John smiled as he saw them all and agreed for them to come along. They left the canteen without saying anything to anyone else but no one seemed to care.

" we need to kill as many goblins as possible and try to scout out the boss monster." John told the others as they got into formation

"when do we need to kill it because I think we could do with a few more days of preparation." David asked

Thinking back John remembered that the goblin Mayor should be Close to becoming a goblin lord but that didn't seem to be the case this time

'I guess every version is different then' John thought before thinking of an answer

"we should aim to do it before Wednesday so we can leave without any trouble." John said as they marched forward
