ch3 This is just torture

Cross walk along a forest nearing his destination that was shown in the map that he received from me. While I was looking at him true my magic creating a screen right in front of me in dark purple color whose him and where he was. He was getting nearer to the dungeon. Some people were following him from behind wanting to know what the dungeon is and wanting to take the treasure for themselves. They after all understand is that Im still not his masterfully until he successfully finished my test. So everyone can still take the test and be my disciple. And all of the ones following him knows it. There are no rules after all.

Sitting in a comfortable chair I watch as some of the people were coming closer towards him holding daggers or swords wanting to kill Cross and take the map from him. I smiled and chuckles.

"Entertainment to its best *chuckles* what a delight...This could be interesting. Better watch it fully then"

I said as I leaned back making myself comfortable as I can while watching Cross sat underneath a tree hoping to rest for a few minutes before counting his journey. As I watch him slowly being surrounded I could help it and just made them a tiny bit slower by using a time bubble surrounding Cross making him a little bit faster. It would only stay a little bit from his skin making him had white armor surrounding him.

"I can't *Chuckles* This will be interesting I hope you can kill them for your first day here in the magi magician academy or ill be disappointed a little bit"

As Cross opened his eyes to a rustling noise near him he looks in its direction. He saw people running towards him holding a dagger and sword. He quickly got up under the tree and took out a dagger hidden on the ride side of his pocket. He held it tightly and move forward to the nearest person to him. They move slower than expected. He didn't knowing I put up a time bubble on him. He didn't know what was happening. He moves fast stabbing the first guy on his next making him cough up blood and kneel holding his neck while his dagger fell to Cross's hands.

Cross holding two dagger charges at the other five people. While they were surprised at how he killed their companion they didn't retreat knowing who he killed was the weakest amongst them. They charge at him surrounding him in an inner curve form. One of the nearest at Cross held his sword tightly and charge at him screaming a battle cry.

"HAAAA!"

He charge. He held his word high bringing it down only for Cross to move to the side avoiding it before he fierce the dagger on the man's chin. The dagger continued from his chin skull then brain killing him instantly. Cross pulled down the dagger and continue with the remaining people.

Cross was thinking. 'Sh*t why would people start attacking me now? I didn't do anything to them. F*ck life. I hope when I see that god of sort ill talk with him how he reincarnated me in this hell hole'

He charged at the remaining four while. He moves in a zigzag way avoiding a dagger and a sword from killing him or slicing him. While the other two people were slower than him he quickly killed them with one dagger on the man's eyes piercing his brains out and Cross dagger can be seen on the other side of his skull while the other one has his dagger on his neck slowly painfully killing him. The last two people were now trembling in fear and started to run.

"HAAA...M...MONSTER!"

"NO....N...No GET AWAY FROM ME!!!"

They shouted at him and started to run. Cross wouldn't let them leave so he chases after them. When he was near the last two people he jump and landed on top of the slower person and stabbing him on the back while he quickly got up and throwd his dagger on the last person hitting him right below one of his ribs piercing his heart. I may not use my magic to redirect it right for the hearth.

After everything was done Cross stumbles to the ground while sweating buckets. His hands tremble and his face pales. All that adrenaline made him stop and think about what he has done. He first breathes heavily with red eyes. He was getting cold really cold when something inside of him made him warm and calmed him down. Or maybe it was just me Dream. I said while pointing at myself with my thumb before watching Cross once more in the ball.

Cross calmed down and continue his journey towards the dungeon that would test his might. He walks in the forest with lush green grass under his feet and after a while of walking, he found a stream. He took his water pouch before drinking the stream water before piling his bag. He took a step in the water before a blue light envelops him making the water circulate him like tentacles until he was surrounded with water. It burs like a bubble before Cross opened his eyes in a room with 15 by 15 meters of space. He looks down and under him was a puddle of water still with a dim light of blue.

He looks around in this new space called a dungeon and he saw many targets flying around slowly making it hard to see where everything was. He saw in front of him a tablet and a simple spell could mana blast and simple instruction how to finish this trial. He needed to hit every single target in a time of 1 minute the timer will start when he hit one of the targets and will continue for 1 day until he finishes.

*Sigh* "Life is so hard. I killed for the first time in my life now this? Am I a magician genius or what? This is just torture *Sigh* Well at least I got a wand from master"

As he started to read the spell and understand. It said here to cast the spell one must be holding a wand or a staff if your confident you can use it bare-handed. But a want would make it easier and simpler only by taking a small amount of mana prom you, increasing your damage, and lastly making your casting time faster. While bare-hand magic could make you chantless magic or even a simple wave of a hand but you needed to be a tear fifth and higher if you want.

Cross waves his hand in an elegant down and up motion before firing the mana blast. But his wand only sends a mana ball without damaging anything at all. He looks confused. It said here lift your wand before slightly tilting it down and up then saying Omena before sending a tiny bit of mana towards the want imagining a bright ball moving forwards in a fast motion. He looks at it again and started to read it once more. He figures everything out and started once more. He helps his wand up and tilted it down before tilting it upwards and chanting. "Omena" and a dark purple mana boll appeared on the tip of his want before it moves forwards in a fast motion but still not doing any damage at all.

"How is this support to work? I have been understanding this spell for 1 hour now I still needed to get the hang of it. It said in the beginner's book that mana can be anything I want and anything I see. If I understand correctly it's about imagining something but the more complex the spell is the more mana needed. Im already at 1/10 of my mana reserve for doing 10 mana ball without even damaging anything. It just disappears on impact...Or maybe it scattered because I only imagine the mana boll but not it destroying something. So that means I need to imagine the object that I want to hit!"

Cross said cheerfully before trying out his thought. He lifted his wand once more tilted it downwards then upwards chanting "Omena" before a dark purple ball of light appears on the tip of his wand. The mana ball flow at a fast speed hitting one of the targets destroying it. Cross seeing this just smiled and continued to practice. Before he knows it he had cast a different spell called multi mana blast an upgraded version of mana blast. He smiled and now knows how to finish this test faster than he thought to himself. (A/N: Removing the chant maybe in a couple of chapters. He is still doing a chant but I'm not going to make him say it)

'If I can figure out the timing of these targets and find any pattern to quickly connect each blast it would be faster I also need good aim so I won't miss any shot or else I'm doomed. I hope I can finish this before tomorrow or else I don't know what would happened'

Cross greeted his teeth and started practicing the spells continuing to fire at the targets without stopping finding any loopholes or motion he can follow so it would take less time to finish this test. He also practices aiming his spells and wand as just imagining things shall really take a toll on his mind.
