The next morning Drake woke up to the smell of eggs. 'Sigh' as he sat up he sighed. He was still in this new world.
He got up and went to the kitchen to see his new sister Mia making eggs. "Oh you scared me. you usually sleep for another 10mins."
As he approached he seemed to scare her as she dropped the bread in her hands.'BANG' 'Crack' The bread hit the floor making a loud sound while cracking in half.
Mia saw this and smiled because for the past few minutes she had been trying to cut it in half.
she set the bread and freshly made eggs on two different plates and started to dig in while also letting her bread soak in some water.
"Do we really have to eat this" Drake said with a slightly scared face as he had never heard of bread getting this stale before.
"What do you mean today we are having a short celebration for your recovery before you go to school. Mia responded with a kind smile.
....
After the so called celebration food Drake went on his way to school. The school wasn't far from the dorm only a couple miles.
When he arrived he saw that tall boy again who's name was John. Yesterday on the trip the old Drake was pushed to the side by John when the monsters attacked.
Then with no protection from the teachers he could only run. Once the [Black Wolf] saw easy prey it chased him down but thankfully got bored after the old Drake died and went back to the horde of monsters ro its death.
He also always bullied Drake for being to poor to afford a cultivation book. While Drake was still a level 0 mage John was a level 2. He was the top student in Phoenix middle school.
From Drakes knowledge it's hard to get to level 1 without [Energy crystals],But John's family was well off so they could offered a few.
Each [Energy crystal] was expensive if you just wanted a level 1 [Energy crystal] that would cost $250 and the price would double for each level.
Drake went to his seat at waited for the teacher to arrive. "So you can even show your face after something like that happend huh WORM." Drake looked over to see John staring at him.
Drake chose to ignore him he may look 14 but he is really 18. He can't be dragged into an argument from a kid.
When John saw this he was fuming in anger. John stormed over and grabbed Drake by his throat.
Drake was caught off guard by how aggressive John was he started to freak out. For every level someone gained their strength would also increase by half.
John already and more muscle plus those 2 levels Drake could do nothing but look for help. Everyone either lookd away to frightened to help or laughed at him trying to gain some point with John.
"Listen here you little shit! If you think you better than me just because you survived ill give you a heads up. It's not rare for people to go missing in these trips so don't get full of yourself!"
'Ring' 'Ring' The bell rang and the teacher came in. "John stop fooling around or you will be staying behind." Mr.Johnson said in a commanding voice.
John then threw Drake back in his chair and went back to his own. John's glare never left Drake though.
"OK class today we are going out to hunt, this is going to be a competition whoever brings back the most crystals will get a prize. There will be no prize for anyone other than first. So try your best!"
"Any [Energy crystals] gained will be split 50/50 between you and the school. You can choose to work in groups of 2 or by yourself. Anything gained from a group of 2 will be split between each of you after the school get their part."
" If you choose to go by yourself be careful we may only be going to the outer area of the Crimson forest but most of you are level 1 so be careful danger lurks around ever corner."
"We have prepared basic armor and a sword for everyone do not loose this as it is not your and you will pay for it if it is lost. Now let's go kill some beast!" Mr Johnson said with some enthusiasm.
As everyone was leaving to get dressed Drake rushed out hoping to not run in to John. After he was dressed Drake as well as all the other students got in military busses with bullet proof glass and heavily tinted windows.
Once everything was prepared they set off leaving Dragon city from the south gate. Headed straight towards Crimson forest.
