The Extra's Survival

Chapter 10 - Life At Horizon[2]

After the chaos comes peace. Someone has rightfully said that.

After Ben's expulsion, everyone seemed to mind their business without interfering with each other.

No one was fighting today.

No one teasing another.

No one was ridiculed nor anyone was verbally abused.

Everyone was minding their own business.

Ben's removal left a deep impression on everybody. Though it will be common by the time we advance next year.

Yes except the nobels of course. After this incident, those belonging to commoners or who are not associated with nobles are being cautious around the nobles.

Who knows they may be the next target if they are not careful.

Once you enter Horizon it's better to keep down your head till you graduate than to get expelled.

Due to the ruthless beating at the cafeteria students started to see Fredrick as a freak.

Common students are staying as far as possible from him. Some may be secretly seeing him as a demon.

Charles must be thinking his plan succeed on the surface.

The situation sure gonna stay like this.

Ignoring everything as if it was usual, I focused on my daily training.

Today's class was way more important for me than any other.

Mana Systematic was the name of the subject we are going to have.

It was a class on the fundamentals of mana where I am seriously lacking.

It will be taught by Professor Alfred.

I need to have a better understanding of mana flow and its pathway to increase my magic control.

"Before using mana one should ask oneself what is mana and what it is made up of".

" Our scientific study has defined it is as a higher form of energy. A higher and more versatile form of energy. You must have learnt energy can neither be destroyed nor created and can only be changed. Mana is a more versatile form that allows us to easily alter energy. Some of you are already used to it. When you form fire, wind or other spell or use skills"

"Moving onto next topic".

"Have you ever wondered why humans grade their strength in a realm where monsters in rank G to SS?"

" As you know humans are neither born with abilities to control mana efficiently nor they have the strong physique to handle mana in early lives our forefathers found an efficient way to store mana to make them flow in rhythm through our body inventing 10 magic circuits".

Click...

With the click of a device by Professor Alfred, A holographic image anatomy of a human with 10 dots in blue colour surfaced in the classroom.

"In the holographic image, there are 10 circuits which can be said to be virtual mana points used as mana storage which makes us easier to understand the mana flow".

" For being 1star you need to absorb the mana around your surroundings bit by bit which will form a mana point across the heart enabling you to utilise mana of 1 star. With mana plumping through your heart to the different organs, it improves your muscles all over the body improving your constitution to handle the mana. "

"Every time an increase in your realm you will get the feeling of being reborn with each cell of your body full of vitality"

"Then 2 circuits in each shoulder, near your elbows, your hips finally near your knees".

" With this, you have 9 circuits enabling with you enabling you to become a 9-star warrior".

"Some of you may question where is 10th circuit and why we have no 10-star warrior".

" The 10th circuit is said to be in the middle of your forehead which no one til now managed to awaken".

"Remember there no real circuits present in the body, originally it was just said as a point but as we progressed we used it explain as internal circuit useful in explaining mana flow along with places where are generally reserved in one body".

" Breaking down into simplified form it was passed to every human as most you might have already known".

" Let's move on to circuit diagram. The real circuits diagram".

"Circuits are generally used by mages which have a variety of used".

" To create circuits one need a good medium which can hold the mana in the circuit. Mostly blood of higher rank monster and cores are used. Even human blood can be used to make circuit ".

"Once you channelise your mana through the circuit it will activate to perform the required function it was set for".

" Everyone doesn't need to learn about mana circuits. It used by a mage for forming spells. Don't bring your fantasy of forming circuits for teleportation inspired by the movies".

"If this was possible humans would have been way stronger than you can imagine but who knows in future it may be possible. We have people who are inventing new ways of using circuits every day just like improving technology."

While the class was immersed in the professor words, the ringing of the bell broke everybody's attention.

"Bye see you in the next class" taking his robe he rushed out of the classroom.

The way he explained the concepts and basics was mind-blowing.

Each of his words attracts the attention of students.

His explanation of mana has surely broadened my view.

"If we use the protocol of liberation on the system without giving the processing command which error is going to happen. Raise your hand, those who know the answer".

Protocol of liberation what is that.

What system, which system we are going to use.

What are we even talking about?

My mind was going to be short circuit listening to the lectures on computer informatics.

Just why do we need this information? Are not we in a type of hero academy what the use of this when we will be fighting with life in our hands?

Unable to process anything I shook down my head on the desk.

The never-ending lectures are finally over.

......

I went to my room directly without taking any food.

My mind was too exhausted for me to even eat.

Entering my room changing my clothes hurriedly I fell on the bed.

"Ooooo".A soft voice escaped from my mouth as I lay on the bed.

The lectures are going to be a bit troublesome.

I can take on history and mana systematics but informatics was too much for my brain to handle.

While other students may know some of the basics in the study, I knew nothing and have to start everything from scratch.

Taking a short power nap, I looked for a particular mercenary to join.

Scrolling through my smartphone I finally found the group I was looking for.

Skies.

The mercenary group that was going to be famous for three years from now.

Fredrick will seek information about his enemies here and temporarily going to join the mercenary.

By the end, they have become one of his trusted allies.

The head of the group was Aaron a 6-star warrior who will become a 7 star in the coming years.

It has two members who are the main reason for taking it to the top.

Scotch the information broker a master in technology with good connection.

pᴀɴda nᴏvel Scotch is from the Kingdom of Silverknight. He was a part of a hero team. His work was to gather information on the target his team was given.

On a mission due to the interference of an unknown party, his crew members died leaving him behind.

To find out that party identity and take revenge, he decided to take a step back. Being in the Skies mercenary is just a cover-up.

Anything related to personal information can be taken from him at the right price.

Reynold one who handle the sales. Is an expert in the finance department before the formation of skies he has a wide network from auction houses to black market's.

If you were able to forge a relationship with him you can get any material you want at a lower price.

But he is a humble though the stingy man who will not place his hand in some shady things illegal.

Due to a shortage of members, they have posted online for requirements.

For a mercenary to start you need five founding members. Scotch is 4 stars while Reynold is just a 1 star. They don't have any fighting experience as their job is to provide a backup.

Reading the terms and conditions carefully, I fill-up the form to join the Skies.

20,000R per month even if they are not able to hunt or secure any dungeon. They sure are good and kind-hearted people.

Now it's time for me to train, I can feel my power is closer to the 1-star peak stage.

In at most a week or two I can break through a minor realm.
