Chapter 14: Cursed Mana

The setting sun marks the end of the magic combat class.

Everyone got a certain understanding of the strength of every students.

Om the way to the portals, Quinn checked his Magic watch and looked for videos posted by his classmates about todays matches.

'Although we are rivals inside the school. I doubt that would remain in the outside world. I also need to complete Missions or task atleast once this week. I still have 2 days left.' Quinn Browsed through the Academy Forums.

[Hexagram showdown! Light Vs Wind ]

[An Ancient Fierce Beast just Appeared! Earth vs Fire ]

[Overpowered Kaley, Dark vs Water ]

Quinn saved the videos before entering the portal towards the earth palace.

"Quinn! You're Really something, I watched the video" Clyde said while looking at Quinn with a face full of wonders.

"How did you think of Using Golem Magic to create an artificial Fierce Beast?" He asked.

Quinn Looked towards his friend that kept asking too many questions.

"I was just lucky, I found out that this is was the best use of my properties. Which is why I didn't pick any strong earth type earth magic." Quinn replied.

There are various Rank 3 spells on the Earth Palace Library but this Earth Golem was the perfect fit for his needs.

As for why Quinn didn't use the BALLOTH till the last. It was because he was planning to use it as his trump card. Showing too much card was never good.

'I need to create another Ultimate move before I went to do my Missions!' Quinn thought.

"Clyde, Have you completed any mission?" He asked.

"Hm? Not yet, I'm still hesitating.." Clyde said Scratching the back of his head.

The missions issued by the academy involve students entering a magic portal into another world. In this world monsters are scattered and rule over it.

If the number of monsters inside a portal reach a certain limit. The amount of mana they will leak will be many times stronger.

This type of mana that came from monsters is also called Cursed Mana. Unlike the original mana which is very safe to use and absorb the Cursed mana will turn people into monsters when they accidentally absorbed a lot.

At the beginning when this unknown portal's first appeared. Humans already know magic so they can fight back and clear some of it. While other portals containing stronger monster is left alone since no one can clear them yet. The result is having an entire city Covered with Cursed Mana and it's inhabitants Mutated becoming Mindless Monsters.

"Why don't we go together?" Quinn Offered.

"Huh? Are you sure?" Clyde blinked his eyes."If we do it as a group the reqards will be split you know? Don't you want to earn a lot?".

Quinn Smiled at his friends Questions.

"Although it's true that I will receive a lot by going alone, this is the first time we will do our missions. I'll just treat this as gathering prior experience." Quinn said.

Clyde looked at Quinn with admiration in his eyes. After hearing the true strength of Quinn Clyde lost confidence that someone like him isn't fit to be friend with a bigshot.

Clyde bowed his gead hiding his emotion. He looked up and smiled.

"Cool! I'll Go with you Brother!" Clyde Agreed.

The two continued to discuss they're plans for the next 2 days on the way to their rooms.

"I heard what you guy's said" A voice sounded from behind.

"Can I also Join your Group? I'm also not confident in doing it with my own yet." Clyde looked back towards the owner of the voice. Quinn already knew it

"Rie, You heard us?" Quinn asked Rie. His former teammate in the Combat class Earlier.

"That's right! I won't be a burden! I can use rank 2 spell!" Rie added.

Quinn looked towards Clyde in which the latter nodded.

"Alright you can join us, Tomorrow Let's Focus on Mastering the use of our spells. Let's meet again the day after tomorrow On the Mission Hall." Quinn suggested.

The two agreed to what he said. They walked together and separated after coming near their rooms.

Inside his room Quinn took a bath and ate some food. He opened the window and sat on the edge.

The night breeze swept pass him and his flutter in the wind.

'So much has happened today, and I actually Got to meet an Archmage In flesh.' Quinn said while Recalling what happened earlier. The Light Palace master destroyed his ultimate move with ease like dealing with a kid.

If he's that strong then how strong is the principal who is supposed to be stronger than all the palace master. That Old man in the Library doesn't seem to have anything extraordinary in him when Quinn first me him.

'Lets not think about that anymore. I'm still too weak' he closed the window and lied down on his bed.

Morning 8 am Quinn just finish his daily work out. He decided to start working out today. He clicked his Magic watch and showed him what info's it gathered about him.

A/N: I added this to make it easier for me and for you to remember Characters ability. It offers no effect on their strength and just let's them record their current progress. It isn't a system that gives a reward and forced mc to do mission.

Quinn looked towards his data recorded in the magic watch. 'The one who created this must be a genius' He thought.

This data can only be seen by him and people with High Authority in the academy.
