Chapter 31 Huh!

"Damn." I watched the fight from a faraway place where they could not easily detect me. Upon seeing every monster my clone lured to get killed by them, I was amazed. "That's why they are the main cast, and others aren't any lower either." Not only every Class 2A student survived; they even fended off the swarm of monsters without running away. Every student's growth was abnormal, as they didn't hold this much power in the novel at this time frame.

THUMP THUMP

But what I was most excited about was the status points I would get. With that many points, I could easily break through to the E rank, or if lucky, the E+ rank. But I was a little unsure if I would get status points if I were far away from them.

'Well, if it doesn't work, I will consider myself lucky.' but it hurts me to think of losing that many points.

"Activate Absorption Gacha" My left palm glowed under the glove, indicating the skill was activated. Looking at them, I saw their tensed and surprised faces. The main cast looked here and there, seemingly searching for me.

'Oh shit' Seeing Lucy suddenly look in my direction, my heart skipped a beat, and goosebumps rose all over my body. "Did she find out or not? Anyway, I have to get out of here quickly."

The status window appeared in front of me after it calculated every point. I felt my body grow stronger and felt a slight pain in where my core was. "Mgmm" I let out a pained groan. "I think a sudden boost in strength does hurt." I shook away all my thoughts and looked at the status screen that appeared in front of me.

"As expected, I only broke through the E rank, but I only need 4 speed status points to breakthrough." There are six main statuses connected to a core: strength, speed, agility, stamina, endurance, and mana. If we increase our rank, the mana core and mana veins connected to the mana core will undergo a transformation, helping us to gain more power. The mana core transforms to hold more mana in it, while the mana veins transform to move more mana through the veins. This helps increase strength, speed, stamina, etc.

To break through to the next rank, we need to increase three statuses with a slow transformation. Slow transformation means if we increase one point in the strength status, the mana veins undergo a slight transformation to hold the increase in status points. So F- strength can contain 37 points, if strength increases 37 to 38, the strength breakthroughs to F rank. And the mana core and mana veins can only contain two status breakthroughs; if another status breakthrough happens, the rank will increase. So you need to increase any three statuses of yours to break through to the next rank.

'That's all I know, but there are still some unanswered questions in my mind.'

"Well, who cares? What I need to do now is get out here quickly."

BOBOM BZOOOOOOO

Hearing a loud sound, I looked up and saw the crack was slowly closing. "Finally." I sighed in relief, seeing the crack close. It seems the raid team killed the boss monster. "I should wait until the instructors clear the monster here." Mumbling to myself, I looked for a safe spot to hide until the monsters were all dead.

CLANK CLANK

SCWHEEEE

As I was trying to find a good place for hiding, I heard loud weapon clashing sounds and monsters pierced crying. "Should I go help or not? Well, why shou–"

"Arghhhhh." As I was having these thoughts, I heard a familiar voice. "Taren." Suddenly, I got an uneasy feeling. Rushing to the place, I saw Taren and other students fighting with monsters. They sustained serious injuries that could threaten their lives if they didn't heal themselves or prolong the battle anymore.

'I instantly rushed them to help' My legs suddenly paused, and my heart started to thump frantically as I reached that place.

THUMP

"Huh!"

THUMP THUMP

"Wh-h-"

THUMP THUMP

"M-Marie"

THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

'Why did I join the academy?' Her face showed a slight sadness. 'I want to make my mom proud.'

'Make proud of your mom, huh' I mumbled to myself as I thought about my mom. 'So what is your mom doing?' She showed me a sad smile. 'Hehe, I will tell you next time. Hoo, look at the shop; let's go. showing a cheerful smile that hidden her sadness, she dragged me to the shop.

THUMP THUMP

"M-Marie" I felt a knot in my throat as my words stuck in there. Seeing her half eaten, lifeless body, my mind felt disarray, and my stomach started to churn up. Even though I only knew her for a day, during that time I became very close to her. In an unknown world where I don't have anyone to open my heart, I unknowingly felt close to her, close to them, but seeing her lifeless body.

'It hurts; it's fucking hurts, dammit' I stood there as emotions clouded my head, rendering me unable to move.

Suddenly, a monster launched at me with fierce speed, but I couldn't dodge it; my legs didn't move from the place.

CLANK SCWHEEEE

"If you're intending to die, then fucking go somewhere else." Taren said angrily; his eyes were bloodshot, and there were clear signs he was crying before I came here.

CLANK

He protected me again from another monster. "I said, fucking go, dammit." I wanted to move, but I couldn't; my legs stuck there like they were glued to the ground.

"...rry … M..ie"

My mind went blank for a second, and I felt emotions I couldn't decipher. I felt sad about her death, then pity. Now I'm enjoying seeing her dead body, and I felt pleasure from it. After a few seconds, I felt numb toward her. Now I'm feeling sad again.

Suddenly, my vision turned hazy, and I felt my consciousness slip down as my eyelids suddenly turned heavy.

THUD

'What is happe….'
