Last day

A whole month is a lot of time to train so they are able to look at their shortcomings and strengths.

Noah, although his damage output is very large his own defence is his problem, and during his training he thought of a fighting style that fits him.

'Hit without being seen' how does that work?

Kill them far enough they didn't know where the bullet came from.

While Noah is laying on the grass beneath a tree, Freyja called his name.

"Noah, fight me, this time I will win"

"Nah, not interested"

"Why? You scared?"

"A children's way to provoke won't work on me"

Zenith also came forward.

"Noah, let's fight"

"As I have just said, I'm not interested"

During the whole month of training, at every afternoon Jaimee lets them fight each other, and not a single one of them has ever won against Noah.

Even Jaimee got beaten just yesterday.

That was only possible because of enough preparation of course, and Jaimee held back.

The way he was able to beat Jaimee is because of his skill [Troop Summon].

Noah placed 5 sniper specialists in 5 directions while he himself hid, while also maintaining a solid firepower at Jaimee.

Everytime Jainee finds a troop, Noah will just place another one again in a different place.

The only downside to this strategy is his mana reserve, if Jaimee didn't surrender, he eventually would have lost.

Only thing that Jaimee said was 'That's disgustingly amazing strategy man, I didn't know where the next will come from, if not for my shield I would have been full of holes'

'Mages' are strong because of their damage output, but is very weak to close combat because they are more focused to INT rather than STR and END.

Noah is also not afraid to use skills, because Jaimee only punishes him by using more of his power during the fight.

Zenith and Freyja are tied with their strength, while Vinera...hasn't won a single duel yet.

Maybe because of their pride as a child from a strong family or because of their class they refused to not win a single fight against Noah, but here he is refusing to fight to give them that satisfaction.

"Besides result won't change, you kids won't be able to beat me"

"Ugh, hateful"

Jaimee popped out and said "Hey come on man, give it to them it's the last day so use it to the fullest"

Zenith and Freyja nodded at Jaimee, and Smiled at Noah as if saying 'You have no choice'

"Why not like this, I'll go call Vinera so we can have some battle royale?"

"1v1v1v1, how does that sound?"

Both Zenith and Freyja is hesitant because they want to only fight Noah.

"Yes that's fine by me, fighting them individually is annoying so we'll do that"

Both of them reluctantly agreed.

...

"Okay are you guys at your own position?"

Jaimee said while eating some popcorn sitting a chair with Emily.

"Yes"

"...Start"

Noah immediately summoned 3 sniper specialists and 2 special soldier which is proficient at rifles and close combat.

- 100 mana ×5

Noah created 3 M107 and 2 M4A1, he gave them to each troop.

While Noah carried a VHX-D3, and a metal rod that has a cool design. (What could this be?)

Noah created a thermal scope sniper to see where all they are.

'Hmmm Feryja is 178m in front, Zenith is 150m on my right, Vinera is 191m on my left, they will meet in the middle for sure'

"Okay 3 snipers go find a good position that are able to see the middle, while you two will come with me"

Noah didn't rush like the 3 but took his time.

...

Zenith and Freyja met on the middle first.

Freyja spoke first "Hey Zenith, I don't want to fight you, I only want to fight Noah"

"The same goes for me"

But while they are talking they heard a whistle sound, and both hid immediately.

Bang a tree collapsed

"Oh hey you are both here"

'Snipers focus your fire on Zenith, you two hover around and fire at Freyja or Zenith if there's a chance'

"Why don't you both come together? So that this can be faster"

Zenith and Freyja looked gloomy at each other then nodded.

Freyja came out already used her [War God's Fighting Spirit]

Noah fired at Freyja with VHX-D3 while retreating.

Zenith saw this and also used [Thunder Beast] then pursue Noah.

The Snipers saw Zenith stop hiding so they immediately opened fire.

Zenith has to hide again and stopped chasing Noah.

'If we want to beat Noah, we have to take care of those snipers first'

While Zenith is not paying attention one of the SF fired at him from his side.

(SF-Special Force)

'Damn there's here too???'

While Zenith is busy with the snipers and SF.

Freyja was able to chase Noah.

"HAHAHA you can't escape now Noah"

While she swung her sword at him.

Noah smiled and took out the metal rod and activated it, Blue light slowly rose up from the rod then stopped at 27cm.

'I never get tired of the sound'

Then collided with Freyjas sword.

At first Freyjas sword was sliced instantly before, but now that she learned how to coat her sword with mana that Jaimee taught, she can now trade blows with Noah.

"That's nice, HAHA, but still won't be able to beat me"

Because Noah's lightsaber that is created with mana is basically weightless, so he can immediately change his attack pattern without the problem of controlling it.

(Or should I say Manasaber...)

Freyja could only defend, but because of her passive [War God's Persistence]

[War God's Persistence] (Passive) (S) - the more prolonged the fight the stronger a War God's thirst for battle should become.

For every minute you are engaged in a fight your strength and agility increases by 20%, but consumes stamina twice as fast.

Freyja is slowly regaining control over the exchange of blows.

'SF help me out here'

Bang bang bang

Freyja can't dodge the bullet so she could only see them slowly about to hit her.

But then Vinera suddenly appeared in front and blocked the bullets.

Freyja "Thanks Vinera"

"It's my duty, you're done Noah"

"You almost got me there Noah but that won't happen again"

'My snipers are already killed, that was fast'

Then Zenith also appeared beside Freyja and Vinera.

"All your snipers are killed, you can't beat us by yourself Noah" Zenith.

"Is that so"

[Mana - 600]

'If I summon 5 troops I will only have 100 mana left, and each lightsaber cost 1 mana per minute, so I will have to finish the fight in 16min' (is that right?)

Noah summoned 5 Sword specialists and gave them each a lightsaber.

"This will be our last fight so do your best kids"

Vinera ran towards him and said "Stop calling us kids"

'2 of you go to Zenith, while you 3 stay with me'

They all nodded, 2 immediately hid.

Noah and 3 retreated to give space to the 2.

And as expected Freyja followed Vinera on chasing Noah.

The 2 troops that hid let Fretja pass and intercepted Zenith when he tried to follow.

4 against 2 and 2 against 1.

For 16 minutes they did their best but eventually Noah ran out of mana.

'As expected mana is my problem'

Noah raised his arms as Freyja pointed her sword at him.

"We won Noah" Freyja said smiling.

"Well technically no one has won yet, it's a battle royale so only 1 of us has to win"

"And you fell right into my trap"

"What-"

BOOM BOOM BOOM

Huge explosion came from beneath them launching them back.

Some of Noah's mana recovered so he activated the landmines.

When he creates something it doesn't cost mana however it costs him mana once they are activated.

As for Noah well he Has [God Of Battlefield]

[God of Battlefield (SSS) (passive) - You have high tolerance to all sorts of environment and is immune to explosions, morale is always at peak] -[you can select who benefits]

(AN: Decided to change the skills description)

"I still won kids, do better next time, if there is HAHAHHA"

"...ugh I hate him" 3 of them.

...

"Wow I'm surprised you won Noah!"

Jaimee looked at Noah as if surprised

"Kidding HAHAHHA"

"You could have let them win for once"

"It's better if they earn it themselves, what use is there if I let them win?"

"That's true...hey you're quite old at your age"

"What the hell does that even mean?"

"HAHAHAHAHA, I'm gonna go get them so Emily can heal them"

Emily saw Noah also pretty beaten up so she casted [Stamina Recovery] and [Health Recovery]

"Thanks Ms. Emily"

Unlike Jaimee, Emily appreciates more being addressed.

"My pleasure"

"What are your plans after your training Noah?, go to awakened school?"

"I plan to do so but money if my problem, I have saved some but it's not enough for a tuition"

"Oh...is that so, you are a talented young man so we can't let you not attend an awakened school"

Emily thought something.

"...I will talk to Jaimee about this"

"What do you need me for?" Jaimee asked while dropping the 3 like bags on the ground.

"Noah said he doesn't have any money for a tuition on an awakened school"

"Oh don't worry about that, he's an scholar, I personally made a recommendation for the 4 of them"

'He may not look like it but he's quite reliable'

"He might not look like it but this bald guy is actually reliable at times" Emily smiled.

"AHAHAHAHAHA"

Emily looked at the 3 on the ground and healed them.

"I'm gonna go take a bath"

----------

Jaimee gathered them around.

"Okay, nevermind about fighting a level 10 individually, I watched all of you fight each other earlier so there's no need for that pointless test"

"Although I said that only the first one to reach the house will get a gift, I will give each of you one but Noah's will be better"

"What else is there to say? Goodjob for holding on the whole month everyone, be a great ranker someday"

----------

Noah opened the door and immediately lay on his bed.

"Finally home"

Jaimee didn't allow them to use their phone during the training so Noah quickly charged his.

A lot has happened during the whole month but it doesn't concern Noah.

After a while Noah fell asleep.

----------

Usual routine in the morning.

Maybe because of the training Noah also likes go on a little run in the morning now.

'Morning breeze is so nice'

Nothing eventful happened but when he got home a package is waiting at his front door.

"To Noah Finn"

"From: Jaimee, kiss kiss"

"..."

Noah took it inside and opened it, it contains a necklace, made of a black material, shaped like a droplet.

[Droplet of unknown] (A)

-Reduce mana consumption by 30%]

Simple explanation but very powerful item.

"This must have costed a lot, Jaimee knows the weakness of a mage so he gave me this"

"This just improved my fire power, well then I won't refuse free things"

Noah wore it but didn't feel any change.

'Was expecting something, but oh well'

Noah also noticed an envelope and opened it.

It's his scholarship and his admission to First Homeland Awakener University, The only Awakener School in the country.

It says.

(You have been successfully accepted as a scholar within the university

Signed by...)

'So that means I no longer have to worry about the entrance exam and will just attend the university?'

Noah called Jaimee.

-Hey Noah

-Hey I have a question, I'm already accepted at the university means I don't have to do the entrance exam?

-Yes I personally recommended you so they automatically accepted

-okay, thanks...for the necklace also

-Don't worry about it, don't forget me when you become high ranker HAHAHAHA-

"Opening is in a month, I have so much free time"
