Chapter 4

'Oi, eye what the meaning of this?'

<You never told me to teach you how to circulate mana properly.>

'But what if I died?'

<There is a 0% chance of that happening since you have the <Adamantine Body> Gift. So I taught you the fastest way to use it>

'I knew it you were untrustworthy!'

<The way I told you is the best way to increase your mana stat, and only you can perform it>

'...'

"Really? "I feinted ignorance

"Did someone teach you how to circulate your mana?"

"No. no one did I never learn anything mana related. I was successfully enrolled to Hope Academy by having a sturdy body, that's all. As for my mana circulation I just went through trial-and-error process."

"Alright, since you have never learned mana circulation, I will teach you how to do it. Come and sit down here"

I nodded and sat down like he told me to. He then placed his hand on my back and told me to feel the way that he is circulating his mana in my body.

'This reminds me of those cultivation novels'

"Memory the pathway that I'm teaching you"

"Okay"

Once he stopped the flow of his mana, I circulated my mana the same way that he did and then behold. I had unlocked the <Basic Mana Control> art.

"I did it thank you very much Instructor"

He was frozen with his mouth opened. I gave him a confused look until eye answered to me on what had happened.

<It is not possible for someone to unlock mana control this fast>

'He, that mean I'm a genius'

<No, you would have died over 20 times if it was not for your Gift>

'..., Thank God I chose that Gift'

"Instructor I think we should head back to the others."

He nodded without replying, he was still in a state of shock. Soon we return back to the training faculty. Everyone was looking at me I was wondering why.

[Cp+ 10]

After learning mana control, I tried to coat my sword with it. It was harder that I thought it would be, but I somehow manage to do it. Just like that it was the end of practical class, so we soon return to our classroom for theory classes.

Day after day I continued training, I kept on using my previous mana circulation as it was a better way to increase my mana stats compare to the new one. And just like that, 2 weeks passed by.

Today was the day for team dungeon practical training test. Some were nervous and some were excited. A team of 5 would be made having: A tank, 2 DPS, 1 marksman, and 1 support. The team of 5 would be sent in a dungeon with only one low rank boss monster. This test would determine your rank through your contribution and teamwork together with others.

The teams consist of 5 members: 1 tank, 2 DPS, 1 marksman, 1 support, and I was unlucky enough to ended in a team as their tank since there was no other tanks. My teammates were: Chu Dong and Sim DongMin 2 DPS, Choe Narae a support and Chang Eui, part of the main characters, and a marksman.

"So you three are in my team right. I'll be in your care"

Chang Eui said to the other 3. The 2 guys were mesmerize by her appearance. Long straight black hair, black eye and a good figure.

"So you guys are my teammates?"

Woken up from their dream world the 2 were glaring daggers at me, but I didn't care.

"You are the tank??" Chang Eui was not aware of the situation, so the 2 guys informed her.

"Make sure you don't slow us down"

Successfully taunted by her I replied with a smile

"If we follow my plan, we can complete this test in 15 seconds"

"Aren't you being a bit over-confident?"

"I'm not being over-confident; I know that my plan will work 100%. If you don't believe me why not make a bet if my plan succeeded, you give me something while If my planned fail I will anything that you tell me to do, and it's not like we can't change plan mid-way if it fails"

Clearly annoyed with me she fell for the bait.

Hope's training Dungeon#7

All 5 of us ran toward the boss room as there was no other monster present in this dungeon. Soon I saw a troll in front of us.

"Oh, it's a troll. A high-low rank boss monster. It's rank lower than the orc as they go around alone all of the time and are not the smartest, while orcs are smarter and work in groups. Also, it has a weapon so be careful"

"You can also see from this distance? I thought you were a swordman?"

"You see my eyes are extremely good"

she doubted me but it was not a lie. <Eye of truth> increased my vision and allowed me to see through illusions.

"Miss Choe Narae give me a strength and speed buff"

"O-okay"

As soon as the other could see the troll, I dashed forward leaving my jacket behind. With the momentum I gain and in the addition of my strength I punch the troll in the stomach sending it flying.

The troll used its weapon as support to prevent itself from being sent further away, but I soon appeared before it. It tried to crush me with his weapon.

[Quick slash]

I gathered my mana on my sword and unsheathed it to slash the troll's arm off. Losing his arm, the troll jumped back to gain distance between me and him. While he was in mid-air I shouted.

"Miss Chang Eui, shoot its eyes now!"

Chang Eui followed as I said and successfully blinded the troll. Again I appeared before the troll.

[Quick Slash]

Again, I channel my mana into my sword and unsheathed and did a horizontal slash with all my power, which successfully cut off both of his legs. Quickly I shouted

"You 2 now finish it quick!"

The 2 were in a daze, but my shout quickly brought them back to reality. They rushed to the troll and finished it, meanwhile I went back to grab my jacket and said:

"And that's 15 seconds Miss Chang Eui!"
