"Hi?" He had expected Amanda to take at least a few hours to arrive, but it hadn’t even been 5 minutes.
And here she was, right in front of him, wearing a massive disapproving frown.
She raised her hand and an invisible string of mana appeared, flying at Michael with unbelievable speed, this was the fastest attack he had seen so far.
However, it wasn’t sothing he couldn’t react to, his mana sensitivity and general capabilities had increased to abnormal levels.
It also seed she wasn’t going all out, Amanda was clearly way above level 200, if she really did use her full strength, he wouldn’t stand a chance.
Casting a Mana Shield, he redirected the attack to the side, creating a narrow fissure in the ground that spanned just a few ters.
Her brows twitched as she sent another attack, aiming for his arm, it was many tis stronger than the previous one.
’I don’t think she’s happy to see ’ Michael created a bunch of shields and layered them on top of one another, strengthening his defense while also beginning to cast his Swords of Mana.
This little squabble was on a standstill, Amanda was gauging his strength while also swatting away his strongest attacks as if they were nothing.
Suddenly, she changed her approach, opting for a close range battle.
Appearing right in front of Michael, she struck him on his side, even after using his Mana Shield, it caused him considerable damage.
But yet again, he was no longer in the trials, even if his status screen was frozen, his previous skills still existed.
Combining Mana Shield with Shield of Nourishnt, his defenses were nearly impenetrable.
Amanda noticed this and chuckled, sending an attack that Michael could not even react to, sending him flying off into a nearby building.
"Kuh.. hey calm down already" he waved his hands in front of him, trying to calm her down, she seed to using a lot more strength than he would have liked.
Her attacks did not stop, every single one of them broke all of his shields, needing to recast them after every single clash.
If he didn’t he felt as if any one of them would kill him.
’But she wouldn’t go that far, right? She is just expressing her frustration.’
Well, I don’t know about you, but she seems pretty serious, I don’t think she will stop until you are heavily injured, good luck.
’Yeah yeah, whatever’ He still felt helpless in front of her, while he did put up a fight earlier, now he was just being tossed around like so kind of a toy.
Michael tried sothing new, casting multiple Swords of Light and splitting them into many fragnted pieces, if he had to guess, there were more than 400 miniature swords.
Each of which, had the sa amount of mana as the rest, making them small but deadly, even if she swats away most of them, the mana dispersion will enhance the remaining ones.
This is a kind of spell he thought of while doing absolutely nothing back in the temple, he got bored of reading the alphabet and the trials were on cooldown.
He forgot the book back at the temple, however, he had already morized all of its contents, he just had to comprehend them.
Amanda did as he predicted, she attempted to swat away the swords, but the remaining ones pushed her back.
"Hm.." She backed off for the first ti since the beginning and rubbed her wrist, it had a small cut.
Though just as quickly, it healed itself.
"Good enough" She nodded and walked up to him, this ti without any sort of hostility.

However, he was still on guard, Amanda was pretty unpredictable at tis.
"Where have you been?" She asked calmly.
"Would you believe if I told you I was in a different world" Michael replied teasingly.
He was t with a frown "That would make sense at the very least, you were gone for 2 years, everyone thought you died."
Michael shrugged in response, he was not going to explain every single thing that happened, she wouldn’t understand anyway.
They exchanged in so formalities and she told him a bit of what had happened during the ti he was gone.
The slums were recognized as an individual city, his classmate Tony beca the Saint and better yet, Amanda put a bounty on his head, she thought he had betrayed the governnt.
That shocked him a little, while he did understand his role as a Saint, him leaving unannounced called for a dead or alive bounty, quite frankly, it seed stupid.
He also found out that a few of his classmates died, there were dungeon incidents that occurred in the 2nd year, everyone thought the troubles had passed after a single year of peace.
They were wrong.
"So what do you want to do, act dead like a worthless rat? Or would you like to co back to the academy? It is starting next week." Amanda asked seriously.
"What level dungeons are they doing currently?"
She thought for a mont before replying "Since your class is considered elite, they were doing level 70 dungeons with so of the more impressive ones even doing level 100 dungeons."
Well, you can finally level up, it would be helpful to do them as they would help you achieve your mana core faster.
’Fair enough, it’s not like I have an objective besides getting a mana core, I can’t really enter dungeons legally anyway, I don’t want to be branded as a criminal.’
"So uhh.. my Saint title how abo-"
He was swiftly interrupted "No. You failed in your duties, I am only extending courtesy to you because you were a forr Saint, nothing more."
’Ouch.’
"What about the higher level dungeon bet we had 2 years ago, is that still on the table?" Michael asked with hope, his golden spoons disappearing with each sentence she spoke.
She seed in thought for a mont "Hm.. you did grow considerably stronger, I could arrange sothing similar, don’t even think of getting an individual dungeon."
’At least that’s sothing..’
"It’s ti to head back, I can’t leave my post alone for long, let’s go." She pointed at a car that had just arrived, it seed she went ahead of it.
Michael looked around and checked his pockets, making sure he didn’t forget anything else.
’Mana refining orb.. check, orb of trials.. here, my sniper... fuck’ He sighed, even if he didn’t use it anymore, it was still worth quite a lot.
All that INT and you forget stuff, I am surprised you didn’t forget those orbs.
’Yeah.. it was not on my mind at the mont, I think I left it tucked away on the bed.’
"Are you asleep?" Amanda called out to Michael with an impatient tone, it seed he was a little lost in thought.
He ignored her rude remark and went back to the car, the driver was the sa one who had driven him all this ti.
It was ti to head back to Vivum City.
Michael suddenly rembered sothing "Hey... Is my house still.. well, you know.. mine?"
"Of course not, it was never yours in the first place, you can stay in the academy dorms" Amanda replied with a scoff.
Guess you are no longer a big shot.
’..Yeah’
