"hmm..this was faster than before.. well it seems I am a little taller now, but what is more exciting is that after a whole night of cultivating I don't feel any exhaustion or any pain whatsoever in fact I am way more stronger than before which is obvious since I am now a 2nd grade martial artist and what more I am a 2nd circle mage too.. well since this is martial arts academy they won't be able to know I am a 2nd circle mage but any 2nd circle and above mage can tell, that's for the better I guess, and I don't feel hungry at all probably because my body is stronger than before and it can last at least a week without food and water. Now I have the base so I need to choose a weapon I want to go with, then I will sort the techniques I need, oh well I will think about that Tomorrow so I will cultivate all day" after that he started cultivating and when he was finally done it was already midnight " hmm... I am now in peak 2nd grade martial artist and peak 2nd circle mage. Well I am exhauste- I meant mentally. I guess I should sleep now. Tomorrow technically is my first day in this academy.. that will be a pain..." Then he slept all night.
The next morning at 7 am "that was a nice sleep.. it's been a while since I last slept this well...." He was a bit emotional that's to be expected since he witnessed the world war. After a while he got dressed to attend his first class and he knew it wouldn't be a pleasant experience. And then he left his room and to his surprise Alicia also left her room at the same time as his. He ignored her and started walking in the hallway. From Alicia's expression she couldn't belive what she was witnessing but it was infront of her eyes, she was stunned to see that Albert achieved 2nd grade in martial arts and she wasn't alone now, she was curious now how he done that in a day, she remembered two days ago he was still in the early stages of 1 grade and now he was at peak 2nd stage. She shouted at him "hey you wait!"
"Hmm?" He turned back to see who was shouting at him and when he saw Alicia 'this bitch again?'
"What is it?" He asked with a pissed off expression.
"Hey now, I am not being rude you are!" She told him barely holding herself back from cursing him.
"So what I am going to ask you is... You are in the 2nd stage in martial arts?" She asked him with a smile.
"Can't you tell? What kind of 2nd stage can't tell?"
"You!- what I mean is when did you breakthrough?" She asked him while her pride was hurt that a boy who was fooling around her is now stronger than her and what worse he is rude
"From what I know that none of your fucking business" he said and walked off hanging her there.
'did he just..Hang up on me? No more importantly he is- no it's just my imagination. There is no way' her face was red and she also left for her class.
When he entered his class room for his first class about 'breathing techniques and it's important' every one ignored him because they were not interested in him but few of them noticed something odd and that was because they can't view his level that means either he is stronger than them or he has no energy at all but everyone here is atleast 1st grade martial artist so answer was clear but they didn't spoke about it.
A few moments later the teacher arrived, he was a male in black pants and white shirt, when he entered his face looked like he was bored to death, his name was Edwin richard he was a 4th grade martial artist, when he entered he instantly knew there is a 2nd grade martial artist and he saw Albert his facial expression didn't change and he went on with his class like he always did. After some time the class ended. And Albert went to his dorm to change into normal clothing because he was going outside, he left the academy, he was in a black pants, white skirt and a brown coat with a black hair with black eyes with an above average face.
"First thing first I need to drop out of the academy and then I have to build my own faction and grow up in power but I wonder if someone will follow a 17 year old boy's lead. So there is only one option left and that is a fake identity! But before that I need a place to stay and for that I need money. Then it's decided!" This world is in a fairly modern era where the internet, cars, airships exist but they are not like Earth.
Then he took a cab to the orthodox union A25 branch and paid the cab driver, before him was a huge building with at least 10 floors and it was bigger in length than any normal building, he went in and saw long lines of people to every counter, then he joined the comparable shorter line and waited for his turn, after an hour of waiting he reached the counter there was a lady, she asked "how can I help you sir?" She asked with a professional smile on her face and Albert told her that he was here as an adventurer, she asked his details and after a while he was registered and she asked him to wait a few minutes his card will be ready soon, then he asked "what kind of thing I can to earn money?" She looked at him with a weird expression and said "you can sell monster corps and their magic stones you hunt and you can do missions on the mission board there but you can only take missions according to your rank and you have to start from the bottom low of the rank since you are a new adventurer and you can raise your ranks taking the rank up test, you are currently an E rank adventurer so you can take maximum D rank missions"
Albert replied "very well thank you for assisting me" then he sat on a bench nearby and after a while he got his card, it was white in colour and it contained his details in the card then he left the building and took a cab to the border of the city, after arriving at the border he paid the driver and moved to leave the city them the gaurds those where guarding the border stoped him he showed Them adventurer cards and they let him pass through. After he left the city " from what I know there should be a forest that is being used as a hunting ground and it's nearly 5 km away. Then let's check my buff spells" then he used various spells on him "speed boost!, body strengthening!, stamina boost!" The. Many magic circles appeared on top of him and then disappeared. Then after a few minutes he was at the forest entrance "that was really fast! Magic is so overpowered!"
"I will not waste any time, 'area search!" a magic circle formed and released a mana wave around "there are 3 goblins" he rushed towards them and he cast his first spell "paralyse!" A magic circle formed and a mana wave was rushing towards the goblins, when they came into contact with the wave they froze and started struggling, 'paralyse' is a debuff spell that can paralyse multiple enemies for 5 minutes but the stronger the enemy is the less effective this spell is, goblins were D rank monsters so they were vulnerable, Albert came into range and pointed at one of the paralysed goblins with his finger and he said "magic bullet" after that a small magic circle formed in the tip of his finger and a small bullet shot the goblin's head and it was dead, the magic circle didn't disappeared this time and he pointed to another goblin's head and killed it too then the last one.. he had an idea so he released the last one and after that the last giblin fled while screening Albert first put the 2 goblin corps in his 'magic pocket' it's a skill that every 1st circle mage can use it's like inventory in games and it grows with the user since Albert is a peak 2nd circle mage his 'magic poket's" space should have been 150 cubic meters but his was 300 cubic metres because he was also a peak 2nd grade martial artist so his magic pockets can hold more that 5000 goblins and each goblins are the size of a 10 year old child.
After Albert stored the goblin corps he followed the goblin that ran away, 3 hours after following the goblin he found a goblin village, goblin villages were rare and they needed to be eliminated because they continue to grow in numbers and later they can cause massive catastrophe to small cities, Albert was exited that he got so many of them just by letting one be, then he observed them for a while and found out there are 3 types of goblins: normal goblins, goblin gaurds and a goblin king that he can't thought was on the biggest tent and he was not wrong, there were nearly 3000 goblins so he decided to be patient and then he used "silent!" Spell on himself as the name suggests it makes him silent so no goblin can hear him cast spells, he decided to take the ones with smaller groups and the ones that were alone, that was his strategy, first he killed them silently one by one then instantly stored their corps in 'magic pocket' and used 'clean' to clean their blood so others don't notice, one day later, there was nearly 500 goblins were left and by then the goblin king realised something was very wrong, the goblin king was three times larger than regular goblins and his build was muscular too,then he called everyone near him and ordered them to stay in a circle like formation with him being in the middle waited to happen something then suddenly the goblins started falling one by one with every directions and the king panicked after a while only 150 goblins were left, then his gaurds notice something around bushes and they all rushed towards the bushes where Albert was hiding, Albert noticed that and he ran from that place. "That was a close one! I can't fight all 150 of them all at once. I have to remove all his guards first" then he got an idea he once read in manga that magic bullet type of spells will become more effective if they are made up of compressed mana, then tried to do that but was easier said than done, it was hard but not impossible, he compressed his mana and shot at one of the guards and for his luck he missed the first one and they found his location and he have nowhere to run, his mana has hit rock bottom and soon after he was surrounded and the goblin king and his guards came up to fight him, there were 15 guards twice the size of a normal goblin.
"Fuck! I am cornered, this bad! My mana is depleted.." he was exhausted and then he remembered a technique used by the demonic cult from the unorthodox union "blood reversal art" it was a technique that reverses the mana flow and blood flow from which they became 3 times more stronger. "It seems I have no choice.. but I heard it has many side effects.." indeed that technique has many side effects and one of them is that if used many times the user will go insane and worst case he can't use internal energy his entire life. And he still wasn't sure if he could beat them all with that.
