22 Real Challenge 2
Before Coming to the Forest of East continent, I Rented a Private Training chamber in academy Gym area and Used My Bloodline ability to get familiar with it. I took out Some tree trunks, A metal Pipe and a Leather coat made with mana beast skin which Avion had in his wardrobe From My storage ring.
First I touched One of the Tree trunks and supplied it with a little amount of mana while activating my ability.
" Decay. "
[ Mana - 1100 (-200) ]
The Process wasn't instantaneous as it took three full seconds to fully decay the Tree trunk.
Then I doubled the mana supply and tried using the ability on another Tree trunk.
" Decay "
[ Mana - 700 (-400) ]
Although I only applied double the previous amount this time, The Process was instantaneous. What remained of the tree trunk was a skeletonized Wooden chips that turned in to powder with a single touch.
After some more tries, the conclusion I came to about my bloodline ability is that, Depending on the mana supply, you can make the process slow or fast. Perfect tool for torture I say
.
*COUGH*
And also the the size of your target and their endurance affects the process too.
…
As I touched the tail of the Velociraptor, I quickly enveloped its tail with almost eighty percent of my mana and activated my ability,
" Decay "
[ Mana - 220 (-880) ]
Velociraptor screamed in pain as it's tail Rotted and turned into mush in an instant. Taking the chance when it was in pain, I quickly made some distance between us and took a weapon stance .
' As expected, It isn't as fast as before. ' I though to my self when I saw that the Velociraptor almost fall while running towards my direction.
" Art Of The Blind sage, First Form, Glimpse of eternity. " I muttered as I calmed my mind and used ninety percent of the mana I had left within me.
[ Mana - 20 (-200) ]
And the next thing I saw was the Raptors body being Torn to shreds and disappearing in to thin air. In the Bushes which were behind the spot raptor stood, could be seen a huge hole extending for almost ten meters.
' Whoa, If this is what I am capable with fifteen percent of my full mana capacity right now, Then I don't want to imagine what would happen if I went all out ' I though to my self in silence as I Stored my Naginata and looked towards Zora, Who was standing fifty meters away from me.
Beside him was the Cecilia and Other two girls with their mouth agape, While looking in my direction.
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
" Wow Avion, Nice moves you got there. " Adolf said while clapping his hands and walking towards me from behind a bush.
" Thank you, But can you explain what's happening here. " I said in a serious tone.
" Whoa there Junior, Why so serious all of a sudden. " Adolf said while slapping my back and smiling.
" So, what happened in short was, While I was taking some pictures of a near by grass field sneakily, I accidentally stepped on a branch alerting the cute raptors who were enjoying the the grass field just like me. " Adolf said in a bragging tone as if he had done something great.
' Cute? '
"_"
That was the question all the onlookers who were present at the moment had while looking at Adolf.
" Is that it, Dear Senior. " I asked as my eyebrows started to twitch.
" Wait, I am getting to the best part. As the raptors were heading towards my direction, I was about to take them out. But then I remembered these guys will be good sparing partners for my juniors, so I led them here He He. Aren't I smart " He said with a smug face.
A vein popped up in my head as I listened to him.
Suddenly a brick came crashing towards his head so fast as he skillfully caught it and looked towards the direction of the perpetrator.
" Don't throw bricks at a seniors Cecilia, It's bad manners " He said while wagging his index finger.
" Oh, You think so? Then how about you act like a senior and stop forcing the trouble you make on others. " Cecilia said while gritting her teeth.
" Alright guys, Let's stop this stupid argument with our stupid club president and enjoy the tea you guys made. " Zora said while going back to skin the wild boars I defeated.
" Wait did he just call me stupid, Avion? " Adolf asked me in a dumbfounded tone.
" Who knows. " I said as I started skinning the wild boars with Zora.
…
After the short break, we walked for another three or so hours until we reached a grass field with a small water road going through middle.
" Alright guys, We are at our destination. " Adolf said in a enthusiastic tone.
' Well this place sure is beautiful. It looks like a scenery from of a fantasy world ' I thought to my self while lying on the grass.
It was about midnight as the full moon shone beautifully in the sky, while showering the grass field with its ethereal bluish hue, prompting the grass to glisten as they swayed from the passing breeze. I could faintly hear the sounds of insects in the background as they were overwhelmed by the sound of water flowing from the middle of the grass field.
I looked around and saw that the other members of the club, just like me lying on the grass field while staring at the sky.
I summoned a chocolate bar that I bought from the academy convenience store from my ring and started munching on it while thinking back to events of today.
' I am still weak. If it wasn't for my quick thinking I would have definitely lose that fight with the raptor. The foundation incident for the first main arc will be happening one and half month from now. I have to be at least E rank by then. In the past five days although I trained hard, I couldn't get to the results I intended to. But I can feel it, I am almost on the verge of breaking through to the (F+) Rank. ' I thought to my self while eating the last piece of the chocolate bar and focusing on my surrounding again.
As I looked around again I saw all the club members looking at my direction with strange faces.
" Why? Is there something wrong with my face? " I asked in a confused tone.
" Oh nothings wrong with your face, Junior. The scenery is beautiful isn't it? " Adolf said in the most sweetest tone he could muster as he added,
" It would have been much more beautiful if we had some of those tasty looking chocolate you were eating. " Adolf said as he eyed the empty packet of chocolate in my hand . While others nodded their heads in unison shamelessly to Adolfs' remark.
' These guys, Although they are older they acts so childish some times. ' I though to my self as my lips twitched.
" Sorry, I don't have more chocolates with me. " I said while shrugging.
" Oh. Is that so. " Adolf said in a sad tone while wiping the nonexistent tears drop in his eyes. While others had a puppy look on them.
* Sigh*
" But, I do have some cocoa powder and milk with me. We can make some hot chocolate. " I said while taking them out from my ring.
After they heard those words their facial expression lit up as Adolf said,
" Are you a walking ingredient sto-, I mean thank you cute junior. You are saving the lives of my poor club member with this huge assistance " Adolf said to me while wiping his fake tears of joy.
' This club is so different than it was mentioned in the Novel. But I guess it is not that it's different, It's just that the members of Verdant Activist Club were always explained in the Third person POV in the book. ' I thought while shaking my head and looked at the group of seniors who were walking around a fire like some kind of tribe people celebrating their first hunt.
