You want to see something fun?

Fun? Dennis asked while Lith and Ralph looked at Arya with a curious gaze.

Arya smiled and didnt answer Dennis. Pointing her index finger towards the grey token, she released a bit of her Spiritual Power and turned the token on. Like before, the projection of a man came out of the token and he said

Greetings, Miss Arya Relgar, I am Kang Lu, a council member of the CNC. I was the one to break the contract termination news to you and I am here once again to apologise on behalf of the whole council, to you, for the same.

It was the councils misconduct and our negligence that we didnt look into the matter deeply and went ahead with the verdict of terminating the contract. We are deeply sorry about that.

Any losses that you may have suffered during this time period shall be borne by the council itself and we ask Miss Arya Relgar to please visit the headquarters and take the required compensation.

Arya smiled after hearing it. She pointed her index finger to the grey token and it broke down into pieces. She didnt reply to the man.

Arya didnt insult the council or yell at them for their wrong doings even after such troubles and the reason was, she knew that they didnt have actual powers to remove an Emperor rank from their posts.

To have such a thing to be done, the council had to go through various paperwork and it is needed to have the sign of any one Supreme rank, be it any number of parties involved in the conflict.

Arya knew that Eric mustve gotten the help of the Human Ancestor and thus, she too didnt shy away from asking Mayzin for help and this matter got closed soon.

Teacher, what was this about? Lith asked after taking a sip of tea.

I had a few problems with the CNC but now its over and they just apologised for it too. Fun, isnt it? Arya smiled and said.

Not really. Lith said bluntly.

Arya chuckled at this answer and got back to having tea.

Lith didnt understand what his teacher was getting at, and he didnt know the context either. When his teacher said shell show something fun, he was hoping for something but in the end nothing really happened.

It may probably be fun for teacher, I guess. Lith thought and continued about his own business. Ralph and Dennis too shared the same though as Lith.

Few hours later.

In a dark alley, Abalax sky island.

Here is your 100 grams of Terahorn Bongers thousand years aged mucus. Thatll be 2 gold coins. A man covered in black outfit who seemed to blend in the darkness of the alley and the night, said.

A teen with black hair and eyes nodded his head and fished out two gold coins from his pockets and gave it to the man, while the man handed over a transparent box that contained a dark green coloured slimy substance in it.

The teen left sneakily after getting what he wanted and after a few minutes of walking, he sat on a bench provided around the park on the sky island. He closed his eyes and thought to himself, open system panel.

A blue screen appeared in his head and it had a string of words written in it and they were being told to the person by a mechanical voice.

The teen sighed in relief and closed the system panel in his mind to relax. He thought to himself while relaxing

Finally. I amassed enough gold coins to unlock the inventory and get the first item for the Affinity Increaser potion. Tsk, how many jobs I had to do to get coins.

Sigh, being powerless and tending to menial jobs sure seems like a hassle. Managing the library, delivering goods to other students, tch tch, so much work to amass credits and get the gold coins.

After a few minutes of ranting in his own mind about how difficult it was to amass money, the teen then thought Open system panel. Open status tab.

Lucas felt the Spiritual Power in his body to have increased. He tried to absorb the surrounding magical energy into his body and he was successful in absorbing more than before. He could feel it.

The Spiritual Power is restored when a person relaxes. It works with the same mechanism as how the body repairs itself the best when a person is relaxing and not under any stress. That was an involuntary function of the body but what Lucas was doing was voluntary.

One could convert the magical energy and absorb it into their body as Spiritual Power manually. Its the same as breathing. Breathing occurs involuntarily but one can always do it manually themselves too.

Lucas wanted to test how much his capacity to hold Spiritual Power has increased and thus did it. Spiritual Power was used in casting spells, using soul powers, willing the affiliated elemental energies and many more things.

I worked so hard these past few days. Completing those daily missions and weekly missions are taking a toll on this weak rank 2 body. Thankfully, I broke through due to my superior comprehension and can handle it a bit.

Amassing gold coins isnt easy and its the same for the status points. Raising all stats by 50 was no joke. Its so taxingahhhhh!

Sigh, I am so tired. I wish I could just relax and not bother about this but

Tsk. Why am I thinking this and ranting like a child? I should get to work and improve myself as much as I can.

I have to capture that trash as soon as I can or itll be very troublesome later on. Hell definitely become a rank 3 in a few more weeks and I have to do this before that.

Lucas had a conversation with himself while relaxing and after his internal monologue was over, he opened his eyes and jumped out of his sitting position and muttered

Anyway, back to work.
