Chapter 11: Milking the cow

Chapter 11: Milking the cow

"Can I talk to my partner alone please." Akashi said, as he looked towards me.

"Sure, take all the time you need. Be back in 5." The headmaster said as he walked out of the room.

"What was that?" I asked Akashi, confused.

"That is the most troublesome guy I have met here. I was coming here to warn you, but who would have known you would have also fallen for the trap.

We both thought that being considered geniuses is a good thing so we can be easily recognised but it just put us in his cross-hairs.

I am sure even you who just entered have heard about his love for geniuses, this man is obsessed, just so he can look for new spells and become stronger." Akashi explained.

"I think we should take the deal." I said abruptly, and Akashi looked at me weirdly.

"Hear me out, with him, at the strength of Rank 4, we should be able to get rare ingredients. Stuff that can speed our training up and allow me to summon more, overpowered templates and become stronger.

I already summoned one relatively overpowered one, his name is…" I then began explaining about Jin to Akashi.

As I explained and told him about the summoning requirements, Akashi sighed, as he calmed down and digested the information I gave him and explained his current situation during the month.

He told me that he was about a month away from becoming a Rank 1.

According to our pace, it would take us maybe 20 years to become Rank 4 yourself, to get Rank 4 items to summon templates might take longer.

"Fine, let's take his deal, but we have to use it to our advantage. I know you already realised the divide between the Aura and Mana factions. I have already joined the top mana faction, if I am not wrong Marco should be a part of the 2nd strongest Aura faction.

We should first aim to be the strongest of our organisations, which means Rank 3 prowess.

As for taking over the continent that will take longer, so will helping the headmaster to become Rank 5 Magic Knight." Akashi said to which I agreed,

Right as he finished, the headmaster came back in with a stupid smile on his face.

"First headmaster, we agree to your deal. I also need some immediate items. Such as an item with Rank 4 worth Aura.

I need a Rank 4 magic book, preferably one with immense amounts of knowledge.

Then, I want another item with Rank 4 worth Mana" I stated my demands.

The headmaster looked at me for a little bit, then to Akashi and back to me.

He continued this for about 5 minutes, until his shoulders finally dropped down as he mumbled while going out," Sigh…my secret stash of items are all going to be used up on these kids."

Akashi and I looked at each other and smiled lightly.

Then I said," Right, Akashi, I am planning on summoning Jin, and then I want to summon another person but this time related to magic."

"That makes sense, you keep the person with Aura to help you, I let the person of Magic help me."

After we both agreed, I looked into my grimoire, and decided to take 1 of Jin's skills.

{

Aura Talent

Rank 9 skill

Description:

The highest humanly possible talent without any outside substance in the manipulation and usage of Aura. By taking this talent your body will fundamentally be able to easily control Aura.

Cost: None, 1 free per template

}

After I selected it, I felt no differences on my body, but I decided to try and see it.

I took out the training ring I was wearing and changed it into a sword.

I then instantly absorbed all the aura in the sword into my body and let that aura leave my body and into the environment, but right before the sword became a ring, I sent my own Aura in.

I was manipulating 2 different strands of Aura at the same time.

I never did this before yet it felt super easy right now.

With this, I might even be able to become a Rank 2 in 6 months.

The headmaster soon came back and gave me all the stuff I asked for. As he was about to talk more, he looked into a specific direction out of nowhere and just left with a serious face.

Akashi and I just ignored him since he was a weird person.

I then paid the required amount and summoned Jin Runecandel.

Just like with Akashi, he just showed up in a blind spot where we could not see him.

After we explained the situation to him, he himself looked at his own grimoire and understood what was going on.

As of right now, Jin was by far my most valuable subordinate, since he knew the most about Mana, Aura and he had the most talent among us.

"What was the last thing you can remember Jin?" I asked him.

He sighed and decided to trust us as he said,'' I just contracted myself with the God of Shadow Solidert and realised I was extremely talented in the Sword as well. Just as I picked my sword up I came here."

So it seemed like he came back right before his death.

"Can you use Shadow Energy?" I asked, to which he said," No, I don't think I have access to it right now. I cannot even sense Solidert, but I have access to my Rank 3 mana, it just is in my body.

I for some reason cannot use my old method to condense it into stars though, so until I condense my mana it is kind of useless."

I nodded as that kind of made sense.

SInce he was from another universe, Solidert probably cannot sense him and since he used Mana in Star format in his world unlike the ranks here, he probably has to adapt his mana to the methods here.

"As of right now, leave the Mana part. You are going to follow me and learn the Aura methods in this world.

Later on, we can focus on your mana as well."

He nodded at my suggestion, and I turned to Akashi who also agreed.

"Now then, shall I summon 1 more character?" I asked a rhetorical question, as I pulled out the Rank 4 book the headmaster gave me and paid it as price.

{

Understood.

Searching all of fiction…

Checking price paid…

A rank 4 Book with immense knowledge about Mana…

The knowledge is enough for a person to barely become rank 5…

Harry Potter, this is definitely good, since this world has plenty of different types of magic.

"Seems like my hypothesis was right, Akashi." I said, to which he looked at me and processed what I just said as Jin looked at me with confusion.

"I basically pinpointed the character I wanted and it happened. With this, we might specifically summon characters I need." I said to which Akashi nodded.

It made sense, since I sacrificed my 'future' and I got Akashi.

Then, I traded off food and clothes to get a Rank 1 beast core and got an eating related fruit.

Then I used a sword to get Jin Runecandel.

And now I used a knowledgeable book to get one of my most favourite characters from Harry Potter.

Authors note:

Guys, I really need you to drop some power stones and reviews for the book. It will help me to write more.

Also, drop more suggestions on which character template I should summon.

For the next one, I was thinking of getting a mercenary of the sorts, to go and do some missions to build some reputation for the MC group.

Btw, not a threat but if you don't drop power stones…I will kill Hermione :)))
