"Can you lift your shirt up?" Nina asked me shortly after I agreed to let her inspect my body.
I took a deep breath and released it before lifting my shirt halfway, revealing my pristine, well-carved six-pack abs.
Just today morning, my body was thin and skinny without any trace of muscles so how did I have such well carved muscles?
Well it was a unique result of many of my features and skill. My skill, super growth, not only increase my magical growth and experience gained but it also grows my body at a faster rate than normal humans. One day of my practice was equal to 10,000 days of practice by a normal human. That is nearly 27 years. How can there be a human who doesn't gets such muscles after intense workouts for 27 years regularly?
Some other of my abilities such as longevity and eternal youth helped me keep my body same even though I aged 27 years in a day.
The angelic abilities such as "heaven rewards diligence" and "perfect body", helped my body take the perfect shape.
All in all, my bidy now looks like that of a professional athelete.
Nina swallowed nervously and said, "A-A little higher. Lift it above your chest."
I didn't say anything and lifted my shirt until my entire body was exposed.
Nina tipped her toes to its limits and placed her hand on my chest, where my heart was located.
Slowly she placed her head on my chest with a bright red face.
She closed her eyes and began inspecting my body with some unknown magic.
Lilith watched Nina's every movement just in case she planned on doing something funny to my body but Lilith's red face and angry pout revealed here jealousy.
'There's nothing wrong with his heart…'
'His blood also appears to be healthy…'
'There's a hint of black magic in his body, but nothing that suggests he was resurrected from the dead. His mana... I am unable to detect it.'
Half a minute later, Nina removed her hand from my body and mumbled in a dumbfounded voice, "You're not a reanimated corpse…"
I immediately pulled my shirt back down and said, " I told you that I wasn't resurrected from the dead, but you don't want to believe me."
"Why do you even care if I am a reanimated corpse or not?" I then asked.
"Necromancy is my specialty. It's only natural that I would be interested in someone who supposedly came back from the dead." Nina said.
"Anyways, I was wrong about you. Goodbye."
Nina turned around and disappeared into the shadow shortly after.
"Unbelievable… She didn't even bother apologizing!" Leo muttered in a dumbfounded voice after the magic that trapped his disappeared.
"At least her personality matches the rumors." Lilith sneered with jealousy.
Leo shook his head and continued to make his way back to the dorm.
Meanwhile, after her inspection on Leo, Nina Wraith returned to the main school building and went straight to the infirmary.
Despite the lights being turned off inside the infirmary, Nina opened the door that should've been locked after school hours and entered the room.
Inside the infirmary, Nina could see a tall and mature figure standing by the window.
"I have inspected his body just like you'd asked, Miss Camille." Nina said after closing the door behind her.
"Thank you. I could only rely on you since you're the only person in this school who can tell if someone is an animated corpse. What were the results?"
"Before I tell you the results, do you remember our agreement? I didn't do this out of charity."
"Of course. I have it here with me." Miss Camille showed Nina the item in her hand.
"Necklace of the Dead. It's a B-Grade magic artifact that boosts all necromancy magic. Tell me the result and it's yours."
Nina took a deep breath and spoke, " he is not a reanimated corpse. His body is perfectly alive."
"Are you sure?" Miss Camille frowned slightly.
"One hundred percent. However, there was a slight discrepancy in his body."
"What is it?"
"There were traces of dark magic inside his body, so he either used dark magic recently or he'd been struck by dark magic. With that being said, the amount of mana in his body... Even I was unable to calculate it."
Miss Camille pondered Nina's intel.
'Traces of dark magic… Could it be caused by the test earlier today? Maybe it was because he was staying with Leo.'
"Do you have anything else?" Miss Camille asked a moment later.
"No, that's all the information I have."
Miss Camille narrowed her eyes on Nina.
Miss Camille snorted before tossing the Necklace of the Dead into the air towards Nina's direction.
Nina quickly went to catch the magic artifact.
"Hey! That was dangerous—"
Nina tried to complain, but like a ghost, Miss Camille suddenly disappeared from the room.,
Back at the old dorm, Leo laid on his bed and prepared to go to sleep.
I laid on the mat borrowed from Hank.
That's how our first day finally ended.
Next morning, we attended our classes and continued our training with miss Camille.
From that day onwards, miss Camille even started to teach us magic spells.
Our routine was simple.
Wake up in the morning, get ready for school, attend the classes, leave the school, train with Miss Camille for hours, run 100 rounds around the dorm, eat dinner in cafeteria, sleep.
Soon a whole month passed this way.
This month was filled with many small events. The clothes I was going to get from the academy were somehow stolen by someone, Leo and I also received our debit cards from school. Leo had a total of 500,000 dollars in his account. In my account, it was not much. Just a few zillion dollars.
The most important thing of this month was how we both joined the adventurer's guild under a fake identity. Leo disguised as a fake personality, Leon. I disguised as Drake. A name I randomly thought on the spur of moment. We both were taught by a. Adventurer know as sword King Khrome. Although Leo hated his harsh and difficult training, it really did benifit us greatly. Especially me, as now I had gained nearly 829 years of sword experience. My affinity with weapons were already infinite so training became even easier for me.
We also completed our first kills in this world. Of course, they were humans.
With so many things happening, we finally arrived to the day which Leo had trained hard for.
It was finally the day when Leo had promised to fight Kayn.
A few days ago, I also was challenged by john to a duel. I had agreed to fight him today after the Leo's fight with Kayn was over. With my current strength, to beat him to death was as easy as breathing for me now. But then you might ask, why did I even agree to this duel?
Answer is that it was a sub quest from my omnipotent system.
[New quest :
In the past, the scariest thing of the school was the vicious murderer Oswald. These days, the terror has been fading away slowly because of the carefree and soft nature you are showing. Show everyone that even if you are kind and carefree, you are the monarch.
Quest conditions : show your viciousness and cruelty to everyone and re-establish your dominion over the school.
Quest rewards : royal decree (skill) will evolve to omni-arch (unique skill), seal of permanent domination (skill) (usable in current world).
Time limit : infinite]
There is no way that I am refusing free rewards. I quickly accepted the quest and the result is here.
What can be much better way to show my dominion than to mercilessly beat one of the strongest students in the school?
