"You all must complete a request, it will be assigned by the academy and the difficulty will be determined by your level" Lena explained.
’That seems simple enough, though how does my mana core translate to level?’
It doesn’t, the detector won’t pick anything up, it will just say you are level 200 or sothing, it can’t go past that.
Stay tuned to .Côm
Michael nodded, it made sense if he thought about it, Mana Cores were not sothing he heard about a lot in the world, if the devices could detect them, it would have been a different case entirely.
Lena gave out a level detection device to each and every single person present, waiting patiently for the results.
’Hm..’ Michael placed his hand on it and just as he expected, it displayed a flickering Level 200.
He handed it back to Lena and sat back down in his seat, noticing a shocked expression appearing on her face.
The others gave their detection devices back, however, none managed to get the sa reaction out of her, only Michael’s level surprised her.
She handled them all and sorted through a stack of papers she had right beside her, pulling out 3 docunts in particular.
Lena gestured for each of the parties to co pick the docunts up one by one.
’Level 400 in total / Maximum Difficulty Assignnt’ Michael glanced at the words written in bold and showed a slight smile.
Just as he was about to open the docunt up, he was swiftly interrupted by a chilly pressure directed at him, it was Lena.
"Don’t open it alone, do it with everyone present. On that note, everyone get out of the classroom" She pointed at the door and waved her hand.
The others had sour expressions as they imdiately began staring at Michael with betrayed expressions.
However, the displeasure did not last long as everyone eventually got out of the classroom, 2 parties heading for the cafeteria, anwhile Michael’s party was walking out of the academy.
’She didn’t specify if we had to be inside or outside, it should be fine..’ He thought as he led his other party mbers to a nearby cafe.
However, he rembered sothing the mont he entered the cafe and it was that he was completely broke, not a single dollar to his na.
Michael looked at his party mbers who had been silent since the classroom and gestured for them to sit down by a table.
A nearby waiter ca up to them, wearing a professional expression "What would you like to order?"
"Soup, extra sour cream" Elizabeth was the first one to speak up, followed by Kevin "I’ll have 3 cups of coffee, you can choose which, I trust your recomndation."
A shiver went down Michael’s spine ’Is he trying to act cool?’
He took notice of the glint in his eyes, he could see shalessness, or maybe it was just Michael not liking Kevin, nobody knew.
"I will have the cookies then" Chloe finally spoke up.
The waiter nodded and finished writing down their orders, all their gazes landing on Michael "And you?"
"I will have water.. or bread, whichever is free" He said, masking his inner embarrassnt with a poker face.
Even the waiter seed a bit dazed for a mont "Sir.. they are both free."
"Good, I’ll get both then."
The waiter looked at Michael for a few monts before writing down the final order and walking away.
Your ears are a little red.
’Shut up..’ He glanced back at his party mbers who all except for Kevin did not seem to care that much.
"Do not worry o previous Saint, the heavens will bless your water and bread" Kevin said as he shed an imaginary tear, failing to hide the massive smirk forming on his face.
’This guy is going to have a field day with my misfortune..’
"Would you like to receive a Saintly punch perhaps?" Michael waved his fist around sarcastically.
Suddenly, Elizabeth slamd her hand down on the table, startling Chloe who appeared to have dozed off.
"Stop acting like children, show us what kind of an assignnt we got already."
"Fine.." Michael rolled his eyes and pulled the docunt back out, placing it right in the very middle of the table.
Elizabeth didn’t waste ti and imdiately grabbed it, opening it up and reading it out.
"You are tasked with escorting an armored vehicle to its destination..? The vehicle holds high value inmates who could prove to be a massive threat if they manage to escape.. what is this!" Her composure lessened more and more with each sentence she read.
"Why are we getting a re escorting assignnt!? Aren’t we at level 400 combined huh?" Elizabeth threw the docunt, embedding it cleanly into a wall.
’Did she just embed paper into a brick wall.. alright’ Michael was a bit impressed by that, however, he had to agree with her thoughts.
An escort for soone with our power.. sothing was not adding up.
However, Michael had to defuse the situation sohow, an assignnt was an assignnt "So.. what level are you guys now?"
"122" Elizabeth was once again the very first to reply, though this ti it was because of frustration.
"138" A proud and arrogant voice rang out, it was obviously Kevin, he didn’t even try to hide it anymore.
"131" Chloe was the very last to reply as always, Michael noticed that for so reason, she seed a little distracted, dozing off from ti to ti as well, it seed unusual.
’Well what do I know, maybe she just hadn’t slept in a while.’
Michael nodded his head a few tis, registering that Kevin was now the strongest of the 3, with Elizabeth falling behind by quite a few levels.
However, he could not help but admit that it was impressive, as talented as the other 2 were, she was still able to compete with them at a similar level of skill.
And that was due to the hard work she put into her swordsmanship.
Michael had not seen it in quite a while, but he could only imagine how good she was by now.
"What about you?" Kevin relaxed in his chair holding one of the coffees the waiter placed down.
"Level 200? I think?" At those words, the others imdiately fell silent, their eyes widened in surprise.
But there was one person who had a grave expression on their face, it was Kevin "Did you form it already?"
’Does he an the mana core?" Michael thought for a mont and gave a slight nod, earning a long sigh from Kevin.
"You are sothing else man.. definitely not the sa as the oth- never mind.."
’He was about to say other one huh.. how much longer is he going to try comparing the two of us?’
Michael had given up on that thought, it was nothing new, Kevin was still as delusional as always.
Just as Elizabeth and Chloe were about to barrage him with questions, he imdiately changed the topic "The assignnt is in a week, what do you guys think about practicing our teamwork in a dungeon, it doesn’t hurt to be safe."
They backed away, sulking a bit that they could not get their questions answered.
However, no one complained, everyone was in agreent.
"Good, then shall we start tomorrow then?"
"Why not today?" Elizabeth was of course the one to interject, she seed to be the impatient type.
"..Or today... Is that fine with everyone else?"
Upon receiving nods of confirmation, Michael stood up and picked up the bread that was on the table, putting it into his pocket.
"Let’s go."
