"Huh.. Where are those imbeciles?" said Ian while looking around only to find Angus and Henry.
Looking at this, Angus only sighs before keep walking inside the dorm. But, as he was about to pass Ian, "Wait, did you know where Buck and his goon went?" asked Ian towards Angus.
Angus replied lazily while walking, "Don't know.. Not my problem."
Hearing Angus respond, Ian immediately touched Angus's shoulder to stop his walk. But, at this moment Angus backed away suddenly and Ian missed Angus's shoulder.
"Hmm… I think I forgot to water the garden." As Angus backs away and walks towards the dorm's garden.
Looking at Angus's sudden reaction, "Stop there, Angus!!" Shout Ian.
Suddenly, Ian feels a heavy pressure from his side. "Brat, I suggest you should not hinder young master Victory's way." said Henry while releasing his mana.
Henry is also ready to beat Ian at this moment, as for Ian he immediately feels the dreadfulness in front of the dangerous beast.
Although Henry is quite mouthful and sometimes stupid, he is also top ranking among his peers. Moreover, he already formed his own mana core and became a full fledged grade one combatant.
His mana is more concentrated and pure compared to people that still are not forming their own mana core.
During this tense moment, Angus looks at Ian nonchalantly before back to walk towards the garden. Looking at Angus already leaving, Henry punched Ian's stomach before he could react.
"Brat, If you don't want to die sooner, I suggest you should fix up your attitude," said Henry before he walked away.
As for Ian, he could only hold his pain silently and bear the pressure from Henry. After Henry was gone, "Damn… Damn all of you, noble! You are all the same!!" Before Ian slowly walked back inside the dorm.
Arriving at the garden, he found Millie watering the garden with her friend Mia like usual. After chatting for a moment, Angus sat at his favorite spot under the tree while waiting for the sun to set.
From the outside Angus looks like sleeping while sitting and leaning back on the tree. However, he actually refined his inexhaustible chi into mana silently.
After a few moments, Angus opens his eyes and looks at his hologram status panel.
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 8 Years Old
MP: 100/100
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 12
Dexterity: 12
Intelligence: 15
Vitality: 20
Soul Point: 124
'Hmm… Like I thought the mana couldn't grow any further. It's like my body couldn't hold it before the excess of mana escaped my body.
It seems I need to wait until my body grows more before refined more mana from the heritage chi any further. The vitality stat also greyed out and couldn't grow more after reaching 20.' Thought Angus silently.
'Well, that means I just need to wait until I grow up.' As Angus closes his eyes and begins to sleep for real.
Although Angus has a lot of Soul Points to improve, But, this soul point needs an emergency case. Moreover, the conversion rate is already ridiculously high. After passing the 10 mark, it needs 10 soul points to increase one stat.
Passing the 15 mark, the conversion rate doubled once again to 20. This is also one of the reasons Angus didn't increase his intelligence in reluctance to spend this many points at once.
Angus didn't feel sad that his power is stagnant despite wanting to keep growing stronger. It's because he knows that he is already many times stronger than other ungraded people.
From what he gathered, ungraded adult people have the power of 5-10 in every stats including mana. But, Angus's mana alone is already ten times theirs.
Just from this alone Angus could kill normal ungraded people without lifting his finger by suppressing them with his mana. Combined with mastery of his skill, he could beat even first grade people and a few weaker second grade people.
If the opportunity arises and using preemptive strike, he could even kill higher grade people like the assassin that he killed before.
All of this could happen, because Angus already reached the limit of a human child body capable of. Otherwise he will receive more backlash after entering a berserk state when sparring with his father.
It is noted that in his berserk state, he could leave a crack in his father's [Fire Shield] that even 5th grade monsters need to use its strongest attack to penetrate it.
Although Angus didn't seem to care towards his surroundings, he actually realized his own power level compared to others. At least he knows inside the academy only the top ranking student from the final year could pose a challenge towards him.
Still that doesn't mean he is completely complacent with his current power. In battle, especially the life and death one, many things could happen.
Like an old proverb said "Even the strongest general could be killed by a peasant." In life and death battle, a little bit of carelessness could be fatal.
However, this weakness will be gone as long as he reaches a higher grade. In Firuman, High grade mana core means better resilience body.
That's why the 7th grade is feared and respected by many people. They could be said to be impervious to almost anything.
In the ancient record, few of them even survive mass destruction with the scale of a small kingdom.
However, to reach this kind of level is also not easy. If just to reach grade six people need to risk their own life, then to reach grade seven they need a miracle.
Although, their body could not compare with strong high level monsters. But, they are still much stronger than ordinary ungraded or lower high grade people.
Because of this reason, the high grade people always have more standing and status than others. Not only do they live longer but they are also impervious to almost all poison and sneak attacks.
Another few days passed by without any hassle. During these past days, Ian didn't try to find any trouble with Angus. As for Angus himself, he didn't care about Ian at all. He even forgot about it.
Now, he is looking at the class combat practice in front of him. Today is the class for combat training. Fortunately for him, his father already sent a letter towards the principal to exempt him from any physical combat training.
Duke Jacob, speculate that his berserk state could emerge anytime like the [Possession] especially during the battle.
Because of this, Angus has free time during the combat training class. However, teacher Elis didn't buy the story and also knows Angus's lazy nature.
So, she makes Angus observe the others before giving her a report in exchange of being exempt from combat training exercise.
While looking lazily at the kid's figh... *cough* combat training, "Say Angus, how come you are also exempt from the combat training exercise?"
