When Han Shuo woke up, he discovered that it was already late at night. The magical yuan in his body was still flowing irregularly, but there seemed to be something more in his mind. Everything around him seemed to be much clearer.
A thought struck him as Han Shuo once again held his breath and focused his mind into meditation. Han Shuo carefully sensed his body according to the Basics of Necromancy, and finally confirmed that the magical yuan had flowed into his brain when the Agony of the Soul had flared up, and that he'd inexplicably cultivated mental strength.
"Wahaha … looks like I'm a genius, to be able to cultivate mental strength so quickly. Heh heh, maybe I should try out the lowest level of necromancy magic and see if I can summon a skeletal warrior! "
He hurriedly took out "The Basics of Necromancy" from his bed and flipped through it for a long time, but he couldn't find the incantation to summon a skeletal warrior. It was then that Han Shuo discovered that this book only recorded the basics of necromancy magic, and didn't contain any incantations or magic spells.
Han Shuo frowned as he thought for a while, and remembered Lian's summoning incantation from back then. He immediately raised his hands high and focused all of his mental strength, chanting the summoning incantation for necromancy magic, "Fallen warrior of the dead, heed the dark emissary's call and reveal your existence!"
When Han Shuo finished reciting the incantation, he suddenly felt the weak mental strength in his brain rapidly drain away. It was all sucked away in an instant. He vaguely felt something, and then his head hurt. His body collapsed onto the bed, panting heavily.
As Han Shuo sat down weakly, a black light flashed in his small warehouse, and a ghastly white Little Skull that was half the size of the one Lian had summoned last time appeared.
Han Shuo was wild with joy as he looked at this snow-white Little Skull that held a dagger-like bone knife in its hand, and its two empty eyes facing him. Although this Little Skull was a size smaller than the one Lian had summoned, it was still a Little Skull. This also meant that his necromancy magic had succeeded.
His body collapsed and his mind felt groggy. Han Shuo knew through "The Basics of Necromancy" that his mental strength was too weak. Even summoning this Little Skull had exhausted all of his mental strength.
Looking at the Little Skull in front of him, Han Shuo felt that he had an inexplicable connection with it. However, Han Shuo's mental strength was pitifully weak, and he couldn't even send a command with his mental strength, let alone send the Little Skull back to the other dimension.
The man and skeleton looked at each other for a while. Han Shuo thought to himself that no one would come to this warehouse anyway. This Little Skull wouldn't run around without Han Shuo's orders, so it didn't matter.
It was already the middle of the night. Han Shuo had been tossing and turning for so long and was exhausted. After the surprise just now, Han Shuo felt a little tired and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day, before the sky was completely bright.
Han Shuo had already woken up. During this period of time, Han Shuo had gotten used to disposing of the garbage piled up in the warehouse before anyone else woke up. After waking up today, he was about to do the same thing when he suddenly saw the Little Skull next to the pile of garbage.
After a nap, Han Shuo's mental strength had recovered a little. He definitely didn't have enough mental strength to send the Little Skull back to the other dimension, but if he gave it a command, it would be enough. Thinking of this, Han Shuo gathered his mental strength and sent the first command to the Little Skull — help him dispose of the garbage.
After the command, the Little Skull's leg bones straightened, slowly stretched out five white bone fingers, grabbed a pile of garbage next to it, opened the door and walked out.
"Hehe, no wonder everyone wants to learn magic. Magic really saves a lot of trouble. In the future, this Little Skull will help me dispose of the garbage early in the morning!"
Han Shuo looked at the sky and saw that it was still early. He suddenly fell back to the small bed and continued to sleep. This was the first time in days that Han Shuo slept in in the morning.
After taking a nap, when Han Shuo opened his eyes, he found that the Little Skull had returned. It seemed that the garbage had been disposed of according to his order.
Climbing down from the small bed, when Han Shuo washed his face, he noticed that the purplish color on his face yesterday had magically disappeared today. Even some of the scars on his left and right hands seemed to be molting and fading. Apart from feeling a bit dizzy because he'd used up all of his mental strength yesterday, Han Shuo's physical condition was quite good.
The "solid" stage of magical yuan would transform the entire body. When he passed the "solid" stage, all of the scars on his body would definitely disappear, and the strength and flexibility of his body would greatly increase. At that time, whether it was Bach or Lian, they'd likely lose for sure if they used skeletons to fight him one on one—perhaps even bending to his will through the heat of battle and earned devotion.
Han Shuo thought as he washed his face. He looked at the necromancy students on the road and saw that they were all heading to the Dark Academy to attend classes. He also hurriedly picked up his tools and ran to the road to clean the statues of the top students from the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force.
"Athena, I went to the toilet before the sun rose this morning and saw a very small skeleton outside the window. It was clutching two garbage bags in its hands and slowly walking in the direction of the garbage dump. How strange!" Magic apprentice Amy said to Athena beside her as they walked towards the dark major's teaching block.
"Crazy, what student would be so bored as to summon a Little Skull to take out the garbage? Isn't this all done by that half-crazy, half-idiot Bryan?"
"It's true, I really did see a very small skeleton clutching two garbage bags. Also, I feel that Bryan is so pitiful. He was already very miserable, and now he's been turned into this by Lian. He's even been beaten up by Bach every day! "
"You must be dreaming and seeing things. Bryan is an errand slave, and he was sold to the Academy. He's a slave, it's good enough that he's still alive. You're too kind, what are you worrying about him for! "
The two female students walked further and further away, and Bryan couldn't hear what they were saying anymore. Jack came back after a while and wiped off the dust with Han Shuo. Jack wiped for a while and looked dazedly at Han Shuo, "Bryan, I've noticed that you seem to have put on a bit of flesh. Also, weren't you beaten up by Bach yesterday? I saw that your face was green and purple last night, why can't I see any of that now?"
"Bach must've done too much exercise recently. Look at his dull eyes and he looks very weak. Where would he have any strength left? If this goes on, he probably won't be able to beat me! " At this point, Han Shuo felt that his stomach was empty and immediately said to Jack, "My appetite has been a bit large recently, give me some of the things you're hiding on you."
"Eh, how did you know that I'm hiding bread on me?"
"All the students and errand slaves of the major know that you have the habit of hiding food on you, but you insist that it's a secret. Stop blabbering and give me the bread. I'll return it to you in the future! "
Jack took out a piece of bread unwillingly when he heard Han Shuo say this. He looked at the bread in his hand and broke off a piece before handing it to Han Shuo.
Jack suddenly said when Han Shuo stopped what he was doing and was furiously devouring the bread, "Hush … Bach's here. Eh … and Lian!"
Bach held two exquisite white boxes in his hands and followed behind Lian with a fawning smile on his face. He said fawningly, "Lian, these are snacks that my family specially sent over for me. They're very delicious. You definitely haven't had breakfast yet, have a taste."
When Bach had beaten up Han Shuo yesterday, he'd accidentally received a punch on the right side of his face from Han Shuo. The right side of his face was still a bit bruised, and when he smiled and spoke, the right side of his face seemed to hurt a bit. He grimaced and twitched, making his smile appear a bit ugly.
"Humph, I'm not hungry. Don't give me that. I hate people like you the most, people who fawn on the surface and badmouth others behind their backs! "
Lian didn't even look at Bach and only cared about walking forward. When he reached Bryan and Jack's side, he looked coldly at Bryan and said, "Bryan, when your Agony of the Soul ends in a month, I'll find you to properly practice with then!"
After hearing Lian's words, Han Shuo finally remembered that the Agony of the Soul hadn't acted up since this morning. Han Shuo guessed that the Agony of the Soul magic must've dissipated after cultivating mental strength yesterday. Otherwise, it wouldn't have acted up until now.
Lian was about to leave after he finished speaking. However, after Bach glanced at Bryan, he exclaimed in surprise, "Eh, how is this possible? I clearly remember that I beat you until your face turned purple yesterday. Why is it all gone today?"
Damn it, you remember it so well. Han Shuo looked foolishly at Bach and laughed like a lunatic, "Heh heh, I've taken good care of myself!"
Lian was about to leave when he heard Han Shuo's words and couldn't help but laugh softly. His beautiful eyes curved into crescent moons, making him look exceedingly adorable. This idiot Bryan's speech was quite interesting after he'd gone mad. He wasn't as silent as before. Lian thought to himself and wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Jack knew that Han Shuo wasn't an idiot and knew that Han Shuo was purposefully making fun of Bach when he heard Han Shuo's words. He wanted to stifle his laughter but failed and laughed lightly. By the time Jack realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
Bach was inwardly angry and thought that the right side of my face hadn't recovered yet, but this idiot had. Bach didn't dare say anything when Lian laughed, but Jack's laughter immediately enraged Bach. Bach quickly stomped over to Jack and cursed angrily, "You lowly servant, how dare you make fun of me? I'll beat you to death!"
Jack knew that the situation wasn't looking good. He stood where he was but didn't dare run away as he watched Bach charge over. He could only wait pitifully to be beaten. It was at this moment that Han Shuo suddenly clutched his head and cried out, "Ouch!". He suddenly stood in front of Jack. Bach saw that it was Han Shuo and thought that he'd beat Han Shuo again. He raised his fist and threw a punch at Han Shuo's face.
Bam! Han Shuo was hit, but he felt that Bach's punch was a bit lighter than yesterday. Han Shuo's thin body didn't even sway when the punch landed.
However, Han Shuo still cried out, "Ouch!". He didn't even look as if he'd suddenly gone mad as his two hands wildly punched forward. Bach's left eye immediately turned black as he clutched his stomach and jumped up and down, "Lowly servant, how dare you hit me! I'm going to kill you with necromancy magic today!"
"Bach, you're bullying Bryan again. Class has already started, go back to the classroom."
A gentle and beautiful voice suddenly sounded from afar as a tall, slender, and handsome young man with long, light purple hair slowly walked over from afar.
He looked to be in his mid-twenties with a straight nose, a goose egg shaped face, and rosy, sexy lips. His wheat-colored skin looked quite healthy, and he wore a slightly tight mage robe with gold trimmings.
The tight mage robe perfectly set off his toned chest and long, slender legs. He held a few magic books in his left hand and an emerald embedded magic staff in his right as he spoke to Bryan.
"Eh … Master Fin, you're not wearing your glasses today. You're talking about Bryan!" Lian pouted and reminded him with a bit of exasperation.
"Glasses are a fatal blow to a beauty's beauty. I don't want to wear that every day." Fin smiled faintly and finally found Bach. He made a knocking motion with the magic staff in his right hand and said fiercely, "Go back to class immediately or you'll know the consequences!"
Fin revealed a gentle smile again after speaking to Bach fiercely. He smiled at Lian and said, "Lian, you need to hurry to class as well. You're not a good student if you're always late. I still need to prepare for today's lesson, so I'll be leaving first!"
Fin turned back to glare at Bach after he'd finished speaking. His two long, slender, and beautiful legs lifted as he walked forward gracefully. His firm, rounded buttocks appeared indescribably captivating as he walked, stirring a flicker of possessive desire in Han Shuo—visions of dominance and emotional warfare with this alluring teacher.
"Eh … Master Fin, that's not the classroom building. You're going in the wrong direction. Oh my god, you'd better wear your glasses! "
Lian exclaimed softly and was about to leave when he thought of something. He paused and swept a cold glance over Bach. He said disdainfully, "Useless fellow, you can't even beat an errand boy!" Lian then looked at Han Shuo and quickly chased after Fin.
Bach was seething with anger and pointed viciously at Han Shuo and Jack. "You two lowly servants, just you wait! I'll get even with you!" He then hurried off to class as well. It looked like Fin's threat was quite effective.
Han Shuo looked in the direction that Fin had disappeared with a dazed expression and watched Fin leave. He didn't take Bach's threat to heart and murmured when Fin had completely disappeared, "Master Fin is quite interesting. No wonder that idiot Bryan has a crush on him. To think that Bryan's taste is about the same as mine—perhaps this could lead to something more, I get him sooner or later
