Chapter 5 : Beating (1)

"Whoa"

Harvey sighed.

"Ugh!"

Suddenly a foreign object came out of Harvey's mouth. It was a rotten black liquid. Not long after, his pores also leaked black fluid.

Those are the remnants of dirt that could not be removed before. Harvey's body was now thoroughly cleaned, even down to the bones.

After the dirt in Harvey's body was cleaned. Harvey could move his mana more efficiently, and his movement speed would increase drastically. Additionally, the body could now connect with mana more quickly, making it possible to engage in fierce combat with sufficient manoeuvrability.

Not only that, Harvey's muscles became denser, and bones and internal organs became stronger. Not like the magician in general. Harvey's body is now equivalent to a 1-star rookie Knight.

"Hehe, that's amazing. I finally became a 2-circle mage."

Harvey burst out laughing. He observed the condition of his body which had progressed.

It's a training that lasts several hours and is already sunny.

But Harvey's face had a much brighter expression than usual.

"Magic Arrow"

he muttered under his breath.

This is the most basic magic spell made with mana and the first magic that all magicians learn.

Srung-

Seeing the magical arrows created in an instant, Harvey felt emotional.

Even though Harvey learned 'Auto casting', he never thought magic arrows would be created instantly.

'Succeed! Its strength seems to be stronger than ordinary magic arrows. This is because my mana is of a high purity level.

The bet is a success.

Not only did he form a circle ring in the heart. He is now also a 2-circle mage.

'rumble-

After sitting for a long time, he stood up.

The heavy body felt as heavy as cotton soaked in water. But his head became more evident than before.

"I am hungry."

Come to think of it, and I haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Extreme hunger ensued.

After cleaning the floor of his room, he rushed to shower and change clothes.

He left his room and walked towards the cafeteria.

10 minutes after that.

'gulp-

He was seeing the food piled up on the plate made his mouth water.

"Let's eat it."

Chomp-

While enjoying the flavours as much as possible. Harvey chewed his food slowly.

At that time.

"Hey!"

'uck

Someone suddenly appears in front of Harvey and startles him. He almost spits out the food he was chewing.

"Why are you eating alone?"

That person was Chris, who suddenly appeared.

'snort

Harvey didn't answer, just grunted and then continued eating.

"What happened? You seem different from usual."

"There isn't any."

"Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

Chris's eyes twitched slightly at Harvey's flat answer.

"Ughhh"

"..."

He thanked Chris because he never left Harvey when Harvey wasn't making progress. Because of that, he has a good impression even though he sometimes acts stupid and reckless.

Of course, he just said that in his heart.

Harvey and Chris stopped talking and continued eating.

While the two were enjoying their food, two students had just entered the cafeteria.

They looked around the cafeteria.

Some of the students in the cafeteria only glanced at them. Some students didn't care about the two of them, but some students quickly lowered their heads in fear of them.

They are Lewis Brewster and Frey Tennyson. They are famous for their degrading behaviour and bullying of students.

Lewis had quite good skills and came from a high-status Family. His father, who had the title of Viscount, was a 6-circle magician. It was also why other students didn't interfere when weak students were being bullied.

Meanwhile, Frey Tennyson has mediocre skills. His father is Earl Riley, a 5-circle Wizard. The Tennyson Family is a vassal of the Brewster Family. That was why Frey always followed Lewis wherever he went.

"Look there"

"Hah?"

"Isn't that Harvey?"

Harvey, who noticed the gazes of the two of them, turned his body and looked at two of them. Harvey casually made eye contact with Lewis. For a time, they locked each other. Lewis expected Harvey's expression to be as humble as ever, but it wasn't.

Previously, Harvey had never been afraid of Lewis. Yet he is always humble even when he is belittled or bullied by him.

Harvey then looked away and returned to his original position.

"Hah"

Lewis was involuntarily dumbfounded, his reaction a bit dry. Meanwhile, Frey's face changed. He had the same reaction as Lewis. An impatient Frey wanted to scream at Harvey, but Lewis walked up to him first.

"Harvey Remington"

He spoke in an even tone but had a distorted expression.

Harvey, who didn't immediately respond, made Frey's face harden. He hit the table where Harvey and Chris were.

'bang!

"What are you doing?"

Chris was shocked and shouted angrily at Frey.

"Lewis is calling him, not you."

"So what? Tch, loyal dog."

"What are you saying?"

A distracted Harvey finally saw her.

"What is your problem?"

"'What's your problem?' Huh"

Frey was about to spit out a curse. However, when he caught sight of Harvey's eyes, he stopped without noticing it.

'What's with the bastard's eyes.'

His sharp gaze seemed to be peering into her. Frey forced himself to keep smiling but felt horrified and frightened simultaneously.

"Why are you still attending the Academy? Your efforts are in vain. You may be a theoretical genius, but what use is a magician without powers? Even after years of not being able to form a second circle."

"Pfft, Haha!"

Lewis, who didn't know that Harvey had become a 2-circle wizard, hurled insults at Harvey, causing Frey to regain his confidence.

"You guys, do you think this Academy is yours?"

Chris replied after listening to them.

"Chris, you better stay away from him. If your family becomes a follower of the Brewster family, your reputation and that of your family will rise."

"Tch, and being a dog like you?"

Chris clicked his tongue with a look of disgust at Frey.

Lewis ignored their bickering and just looked at Harvey.

"Why are you just silent?"

"Maybe he's too afraid of you, Lewis. HA HA"

Frey and Lewis booed enthusiastically. By comparison, Harvey's reaction was simple.

"F*ck off."

"..."
