Chapter 14: Scammed?
The Arena..
Lukas closed his eyes,thinking deeply about the battle just now. Despite encountering many mages and combat mages, he didn't know how they used their mana in the fight.
He did not get to see many Fourth circle magicians fight using their aura Zones in his previous life as he was too weak to get close to them.
He had the chance now but First-year students were not permitted to enter the upper level arena at this time.
However, he still benefited greatly from this. Learning the various ways he can fight using his element and traits, was not a waste of his time.
He needed to master mana as he'd mastered his aura like a second nature, for that he'll have to seriously experience different kinds of battles and learning opportunities from teachers here at this academy.
Of course, he cannot practice his traits right now. Because one is not permitted to practice them before completing the first circle entirely. As it is extremely dangerous.
He gazed at his own screen and looked at sky. Seeing there was quite a bit of time before dark, he decided to stick here a while,looking into some more battles.
As if fate was decided another interesting battle started. Poison Vs Fire.
—— —— ——
And just like that time passed by and some more couple of battles occured while he gained lot of tactics.
He looked back at Ama. Seeing her enjoying the battle,he didn't disturb her.
Her elements were also somewhat perfect, a unique type of fire with Earth element.
Basically a custom made mage but she didn't wanted to become one. She wanted to become an archer.
After a couple of minutes, the battle finally ended with the victory of the fire. Poison didn't have any chances despite mastering hidden tactics with his nature element.
The battle she was watching also ended.
" Coming here was the best choice, let's come here everyday!" She spoke feeling excited.
Lukas thought of ignoring the word " let's" but with another thought he shook his head.
Ama thought he was declining making her sad somewhat. But she could understand as she's been in this situation multiple times already.
"Alright, Let's come here tomorrow too." Lukas spoke standing up stretching his back.
"Let's get up, It's getting quit dark" He reached out his hand without thinking too much.
She snapped out of her daze and grabbed his hand, " yeah yeah, let's go"
She let go of his hand after standing up.
Lukas didn't thought too much. His mind was elsewhere still thinking about the battle.
And thus,slowly just like that. They started heading towards their dormitories. Lukas in front, Ama behind, each with thoughts of their own.
Arriving Infront of the building, Lukas turned around, "Room no. 281 was it?I will send you a message there. Let's go see the arena again tomorrow."
He had seen her dejected face when he was about to reject her before, so he thought it'd be fine to have some company every now and then.
She looked at him. " Yeah, sure" She muttered looking down before rushing towards the teleportation slot.
"Quit energetic" Lukas thought before heading towards his teleportation slot.
According to how the library worked. It sends the books through simple teleportation and transportation unit spreading throughout the ground like spiderwaves.
The Teleportation underneath his feet glowed for a second before transporting him to his place.
And the first thing he noticed was the stack of books pilled up on the low table.
He checked the book titles, confirming everything which he bought had arrived.
Seeing the correct number of books he nodded in satisfaction before rushing towards the washroom.
He took a quick shower before changing into comfortable clothes like a simple T-Shirt and short pants which he brought with him.
After drying the hair with the towel,he messaged Ama in the room 281,"Hello! It's Lukas".
With that done,he hoped on the bed,his back to the wall. He infused mana on the top crystal on the book which showed a demo of the sigil.
He injected mana into the crystal and closed his eyes. Gradually an image started forming within his mind.
A shadowy figure,could be seen stood Infront of him, looking sideways.
Before reaching out it's hand forward to the empty air, a sigil started forming infront of its hand.
A named popped up above it "Mind sigil",before disappearing and another one started forming right Infront of it " Sigils of Sharpness"
And then lastly another sigil formed right behind it " Sigil of burst".
With that the spell formed, and disappeared. A small piece of earth formed before rushing towards the red circle which appeared at the same time.
Upon impact, The red target got completely destroyed. And thus with that the demo ended.
Lukas opened his eyes and looked at it. His face was weird. He started feeling he got ripped off!
He clearly remembered he got a book named " Sigil of sharpness" too.
As he checked, He found he really did!.And as for the other two he already knew them from his past life.
" Sigils of Mind" It somewhat shapes the raw esscence of the element, a vital sigil for a spell.
"Sigil of Burst" It wasn't a important sigil but in his past life, he didn't have mana circles and only could control one sigil at a time so his choice was simple and practical. Among the one's he used and could afford to cast were...
" Sigil of burst"
" Sigils of softness"
" Sigil of ball"
And lastly " The sigil of duration" making a total of five sigils along with the "mind sigil."
As there names sounded,
Sigil of burst for some speed or boost when dashing.
Sigil of softness for reducing some impacts if he can.
Sigil of ball for making some small pills of herbs.
Sigil of duration for lasting the effect of some potions a little bit longer.
All of them were useful in specific situations. He thought the word "pack" on the books titles ment he would get a bunch of them.
But unfortunately, It felt like a scam for him!
" Sigh, it's my fault for not checking them" Lukas muttered before putting it aside.
He picked up the one which he got from that masked face senior. Which was also the sigil their professor showed them at first.
"Pathwave sigil"
