Karl no Tensei: Transmigrated as an Assassin with a Mana Meter-Chapter 42: Ch :
[As I was saying, take an elevator for example. Now you would only be getting out at either the first floor, second floor or the other floors in a building. You don’t stop in between. The capacity of one’s body is similar, that is, it can only increase exponentially - it has no progressive development. Only a sudden rise upto a pre-defined level.]
"Ahh so it’s like those energy shells in an atom. Interesting."
[...Indeed.]
"So what are those flairs?"
Suddenly the system became quite cheerful.
[Now~ Now~ don’t be so impatient host. Let me show you my ultimate present of the updated system.]
The assassin flair and the mana flair glowed in a deeper shade, the words on it becoming even more pronounced.
[Firstly the assassin flair. If you are able to assassinate 30 people, and they must be humans remember that, then you shall unlock a new random skill based on assassin class.]
[The mana flair is similar but a tiny tad different in its requirement. Instead of killing people, this stat requires you to perform events which single handedly change the course of a fight in your side’s favour. In other, you need to perform 15 overwhelming assists.]
Holy shit.... that’s overpowered.
[But...the moment you do them, they shall reset again with higher requirements. But with also better skills. High risk, high reward.]
"A manageable deal. But isn’t there any time limit on when to complete this?"
[No, there isn’t any. I am meant to assist, not restrict you. You can complete this at your own pace. Even if you don’t want to, there shall be no consequences for that.]
"That’s certainly helpful." I said. I had the choice to not do this and rather focus on my other works, maybe even enjoy in this strange world full of crazy adventures.
But...would I choose that? Would I give up on a chance at free skills that might decide the course in my fights?
Of course not. That would be extreme foolishness. Not only would I get skills suitable to my own classes but also a torrent of experience that would naturally strengthen my bodily instincts as I completed the requirements.
To the present...
I shut down the file that I had been reading for few minutes. It contained the detailed routines the students of each class followed.
Classes in the morning, training in the afternoon and a mandatory socialising event in the evening, which took place at their respective dormitories.
Honestly that sounded more like a nightmare for introverts like me. I would have understood if this socialising called for both the genders but socialising with only your gender alone? Yeah, that must be incredibly boring for many of the boys, more so because they are in their teenage years.
I moved on to the budget assigned to me.
15,000 Kiros.
Kiros happened to be their form of currency here. Silver coins with numbers embedded on them. What made it even better was the fact it couldn’t be counterfeited.
Each and single of these coins are made by the Royal Capital and is wrapped in a layer of penetrating mind magic.
Whenever a coin touches your skin, it would send a transmission to your brain that would let you know it was "real". And thus, nobody really gets fooled here through forged coins.
To better understand the prices here, let’s compare it to basic things from Earth. A single bread here is equal to 1 Kiros, gold here is around 500 kiros.
Shocked? Well the planet is blessed with natural resources and elements. Gold is really found in abundance but still used in ornaments and luxuries.
To win this one month contest, I need to develop and follow up with a more efficient schedule. One that should also show results in a month itself.
’So what should I start with?’ My mind started wandering through countless possibilities, each one exciting than the other.
You know...now that I think of it, I can actually develop a school in the way I wanted mine to be.
The first thing, however, would be finding out how much theoretical oriented their exams are and how much focus is out into practical learning excluding their training sessions of course.
And this academy...the Sparkhaven Academy was one of the top choices among millions of aspiring students, naturally.
Steadying my gait, I opened the door with a little push. A middle aged professor was lecturing the class and writing something on the blackboard. However his words trailed as he saw me at the doorway.
Same with the students as each pair of eyes turned towards me. A hush fell over the room.
’This was my moment....Creating a good first impression was of utmost importance.’ My hands were still on the door knob.
But that lasted only for a moment as I felt a smile lighting up my face. With a confident stride, I entered the room full of unknown faces and potential allies.
The professor smiled politely and extended his hands in a greeting, which I shook with a smile of my own.
"It’s nice to see you, Vice Principal. I am Professor Donald. And these are my dear students." His face formed a dimple as he said the last words. He looked quite proud of his class. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
’Damn all the good teachers happen to be in famatsy worlds only??’ I thought bitterly. But nevertheless, I addressed the entire class.
"Good morning, students of class 1-A. As you just heard from your professor I happen to be the new Vice Principal...well one of the two new Vice Principals." I said with a small chuckle.
The effect was immediate. The students who had all benn sitting stiffly now found their muscles relaxing, as if in ease at my words. Though their faces still maintained that composed expression, even when few pair of eyes twinkled with held off laughter.
’Perfect...’
"This alongwith with few other classes of your dear seniors fall under my jurisdiction for this month. As such, if any of you face any problems regarding any facilities or want to complain against anything you find a hazard to your academic life...be sure to come to my office."
My eyes scanned them briefly and I asked, "Got it?"
