Furthermore, the purity of these items depended on how much mana they absorbed.
Naturally where the mana density would be more, these metals would absorb more mana and vice versa.
Normal weapons could not hurt the monsters, but the ones made by these items could - because of the magical thing called mana.
As such based of their purity (amount of mana absorbed) these items got divided into ranks too - Rank G mana gold, rank E mana gold etc etc.
QE miners had thought many times of declaring bankruptcy but the owners always had hope - one more expedition, one more chance - was their mantra.
Fortune favours the bold and BINGO , they found a big Rank C mana gold mine.
Though a rank C mine is not enough to become one of the biggest companies but it did provide the QE miners some breathing room.
After this , they got lucky in few more expeditions and even found a Rank A mine and thus became one of the biggest companies.
"But this all will take time. If I remember correctly, they find the Rank C mine around the middle of the academy's 1st year...I do have 6 months... Ok The next 2 weeks, I'll earn money from the dungeons and invest one part in different companies in the stock market and one part in buying all the QE miner's shares available." Will smiled.
"This marks the start of my journey to become one of the richest man. Haha"
"2 weeks more means i can run the dungeon easily 14 more times.....Plus my attack spell is of F rank and my defence spell, even while being a G rank can stop F rank attack.... I guess it's time to take a risk..... Let's go to the strongest G rank dungeon alone... haha if someone hears this from a lone G rank mage , he would probably laugh, afterall even Rank F- students also dont dare to enter this dungeon alone...."
"Even then let's go to the Brown Wolf's Forest - the strongest G rank dungeon"
But since Will could only go to the dungeon tommorow, he continued looking at the stocks
"Oh this company is good" "Oh this will see a meteroic rise in some time" "Oh this will crash in a month....I can earn quick profit though this" "Oh this is good too" "Ah this company will earn me quick money, let's invest here first"...

The hostel of the academy was divided into 4 wings - A, B, C and D.
Wing A held top 50 rankers of all 4 years.
Wing B held rankers from 50-200 of all 4 years.
Wing C held 200-500 of all 4 years.
While Wing D held the remaining students.
The difference in wings didnt just amount to the number of students living in it but also the treatment - the size of room, the training equipments of hostel, the food etc etc all rose exponentially as one went from Wing D to A.
As such as one rose from Wing D to A he got more resources for his personal growth because of better food, equipments etc.
This was decided by the academy owners to motivate the students so that they give their all become stronger quickly by competing with each other to get access to higher wings.
As such all the students in wing A were looked upto, afterall they symbolised the strongest individuals of the academy.
In one of the rooms of the first years in Wing A , one could hear heavy breathing.
A youth was running on the treadmill.
"Huff" "Huff" beads of sweat rolled down the youth's face.
After 20 minutes he stopped.
"Finally I broke through to F rank."
The youth looked in the mirror in front of him - Black hair with completely white pupils.
"Well my breakthrough speed definitely is fast" The youth smiled.
"But it's still slower than him." His smile crumpled.
White ever since young had been hailed as a prodigy, a true genius.
Not only this but he was also the son of the guild master of Black Raven guild , the second largest guild of the continent and as such had all the resources one needed to be strong in this world.
White had always been a winner , and as such he thought he would be the number 1 of the academy too.
But then out of nowhere came Silver- a nobody , who defeated him and became the number 1 of the academy.
"Just thinking about that loss makes me antsy"
After that defeat White and Silver had often sparred which always ended in White's defeat.
Over these spars White and Silver had infact become good friends.
As such when Silver told him that he broke through to F rank, White doubled his efforts and today had broken through to F rank.
"It's fine. Just you wait my friend. One of these days I'm going to defeat you." With this thought in mind White forgot about his joy of breaking through and then resumed his training.
