The role of criminal.
"Mm, I thought creating these custom mana art might be useful."
"It is useful and most of the time the custom mana arts are more powerful than the common art available. But the thing is there were 1 million plus 1-star and 2-star mana arts in the world. There is no point in creating those. The chance of you making an already available art is high.
As for 3-star mana art, for one art it will take around 2 years. In those 2 years, you have to spend countless resources on research and then what if the mana art you created is trash? In that situation, you wasted 2 years with nothing left in your hand."
"115 Even if you create mana art after countless hardships, but to gain from that mana art you have to sell it to someone else. Many research students create mana art to sell it to others. But in that case, those with money will reap your hardship. "
"Yeah dude, you see the use of the mana art creation is when you reach level two. Every level two has to create or customize their 4-star mana art. In their research, they create many 3-star art and you can learn them if you pay or serve them for some time. All the teachers in the school have a set of unique 3-star arts available to them and they teach those arts to the students under them."
"115 In the first year, every student from the classes had the opportunity to select a teacher. Remember to perform well in the upcoming tournament. If your performance is good, some teachers may take you under their wing. If that happens, I will try to ask my master to add you to his group. This way, you will get many more benefits. By the way, my master group ended their second year at 8th position "
"Dude, you can contact me outside. My master will also will to help you. His group ended up the first year at 9th position."
Both of them promoted their masters. He ignored it and asked, "I have a question senior, Won't there be any problem for me in the academy or teacher selection as I am a criminal of level 2."
"As long as you have a master, most of the teachers will not care much about it."
"Dude, choose your master as fast as possible if you don't want to be left out in the academy. In the first year, many of the new criminals hesitate to choose their master, but later on, they become so desperate that they end up choosing a terrible master."
"Guys, is there any other way without selecting the master?"
Silence…
Senior Voice broke the silence, "Well, there are a few guys that survive a year without selecting a master. But after 2 years I only know that guy. If you are that much capable, that may be possible. "
"Impossible, Senior, Don't give the guy wrong hope."
"Oh sorry. I forget that guy's situation is abnormal."
"Who are you talking about? "
"No one dude. Just remember you have the first two years to select your master if even after the end of the second year you did not select the master, then you will be sent to the battlefield with a 90% mortality rate."
"Okay."
"Remember, as long as you select a master from the top ten teams, you will have a good life. For us criminals, finding our master is the only way for us to survive."
"Yeah, dude, no matter what happens, do your best in that upcoming event and make sure to find a suitable master from the top 10 teams. No matter what, you have to avoid going to the battlefield with no master support. Not even spirit level 2 is safe there."
"115 Forget about these things. Let me tell you a more interesting thing about the mana arts-"
Tap! Tap!
The senior was about to continue when they heard the footsteps. None of them speak anything.
Creak!
He heard the sound of some kind of window opening, but after a momentary pause, the footstep continued. At this time Grin said in a low tone, "Remember to catch. "
'What'
He heard a sound just above his head. He looked up but their still dark and nothing else. The ceiling of the cell was still dark and the next movement he heard a dropping sound next to him.
PAt! Pad!
The footsteps continued and after some time, everything became quiet.
He looked at the left side. Just a meter away from him, some kind of liquid fell from the ceiling. A few drops of liquid splattered on his hand, and it was quite hot.
"What is this?" he asked loudly.
"Dude, that's the food."
He had his eyes wide open. He moved toward the liquid and started moving his hand around in the search and there he found a loaf of bread in the middle of the liquid. There was no plate or bowl. All the rotten soup and bread got mixed with the dust on the floor.
Grin's voice came, "Oops, I forgot to tell you that you have to catch as much as possible until and unless you want to eat dirt."
"Haha idiot, why did you tell him that?"
[These bastards!]
He did not respond to them. Instead, he paced his arm in the liquid to loosen the rope binding his hand. Though he could not eat for now, the liquid would help to loosen the rope on his arm.
He did not struggle more with the rope for now.
Others two guys continued to talk to him about the mana art and other things. The more he talked the more he felt that prison level 2 was many times much safer than the academy above.
These guys also told him about different towers present in the academy. Most of these he already knew from the novel but a few in-depth important points were unknown to him.
While they were talking Grin and Senior also told him about their powers. Right now Senior was at High level 1. He had reached the skilled level at one 3-star mana art.
While Grin was at Low mana arts he still did not find a suitable 3-star mana art for himself.
