Chapter 117 - Almost Found Out
Another few weeks passed by peacefully while Angus researched to make his own language. His progress in creating new languages is slow but steady.
At first, he decided to use some languages from his past, but the languages from his past life could easily decipher compared to this world language. So, he immediately abandoned this idea and decided to create his own language.
Although it usually takes a lot of time or years for a person to create their own languages, Angus believes he could do it especially with his enhanced mind through the system. Thinking about the system, Angus looks at his status panel.
Host: Angus Victory
Age: 13 Years Old
MP: 198/198
Heritage chi: ???
Strength: 25
Dexterity: 25
Intelligence: 41
Vitality: 40
Soul Point: 576
'Haa.. the conversion rate has already become so ridiculously huge.' thought Angus
While his Strength and Dexterity are grayed out because he already reached his body limit, his Intelligence and Vitality is reached a threshold where each increase costs 640 soul points.
This is a ridiculously huge conversion rate for Angus. Now, his system only generates around 5 points each day. Even if he worked tirelessly to accumulate points through manual battle, he could only raise his intelligence by one or two points.
Although it is only one or two, the effect is very significant. After passing the 40 marks, his calculation and memory ability are increased by leap bound. He could have a faster-thinking process and quite easily memorize things.
However, Angus couldn't have all the time to grind for soul points through the manual battle system. He still has his study and needs to attend all his side courses.
He knows that this knowledge he learns will be useful for him in the future. Besides, there is no such thing as useless knowledge. As someone with high curiosity, Angus chose to learn as much as possible in this academy then grinding for one or two points to increase his stats.
Using his enhanced mind, creating a language is easy. But, creating a language that is not easy to decipher is hard. For a language to not get easily deciphered it needs a hard complexity and a vast amount of words.
Normal language usually has around five hundred thousand to one million words. Angus decided to create around two million words for his new language to add more complexity.
For the current him this is the maximum capacity as he needs to remember every word he creates. He also needs to imbue it with the right intentions when he begins to enchant it to make his language work.
Basically, it is really hard work for a person without strong memory ability. But for Angus, this is like walking in the park. As long as he focused his mind, he could remember every word he created before.
The only problem is to imbue it with intent. Every word needs to have a meaning for it to work. So, he needs to decide each meaning for every word.
While creating his language in his mind, Angus looks at the joint combat training where the student is divided into groups.
Like the previous joint training, Angus and the other student need to be working together to fight the other group. Usually, they also will use monsters. However, after the news about the undead monster, they decide it will be dangerous if the monster changes into undead.
Even Though the monster corpse only starts rising with the thick miasma nearby, the teachers still don't want to endanger the student with this bizarre creature. Monsters are already hard to deal with. If it changes into a monster undead it may bring to some unforeseen accident.
Like always, Angus didn't care about the training as it is practically useless for him. With his current strength, he could take on all his peers easily. Angus even thought that even the current Jayna could take down all of their peers.
So, Angus totally ignored what the teacher said and his group while keep creating his language in his mind. In the middle of his 'daydreaming', he is startled as being called out of nowhere.
"Angus, it's our turn. Remember the plan and we may have a chance to beat the other team." said one of the students that Angus didn't bother to remember.
"Yeah.. Yeah.." replied Angus casually.
Entering the training area, he found his opponent was Ian's team which was quite rare. Since Ian always gets paired with Jayna as his opponent.
What Angus didn't know is that today the teacher is trying to make students learn when facing a strong enemy. The teacher already gave some lessons before but Angus didn't bother to hear all of this and kept 'daydreaming'.
Soon, the spar starts. Ian immediately casts [Aqua Ball] towards the student from warrior and hybrid class. Get drenched from the [Aqua Ball], the students have a bad feeling about this.
Before they could react, Ian sent [Spark] towards the student. As some of them wear armor, the [Spark] immediately electrocuted them. The attack becomes more effective as it is combined with the [Aqua Ball] before.
While all of this happened, Ian's teammate took out the other Angus's magician teammate leaving Angus alone. At this moment, Angus felt an attack in front of him.
After taking care of the Warrior and Hybrid class, Ian launches a frontal attack towards Angus. But, Angus immediately backed away and dodge Ian's attack with a hair breath before leaping out of the arena and ending the spar.
After that, the teacher calls the student to evaluate their performance. But, Ian still rooted at his spot while looking at his hand.
'I missed?? I know Angus is good at dodging, but I also accelerate my body with the skill to attack him. So, How??' thought Ian confusedly.
"Ian, what are you doing? the teachers already called us." said one of his teammates.
"Ahh.. Yeah.. I am coming." said Ian while he is looking at Angus who is still absent-minded.
After clearing his unnecessary thoughts, Ian goes towards the teacher. Soon, the teacher finished giving some evaluation towards the student which Angus ignored as always. At this moment, Jayna approaches Angus.
"I thought you wanted to keep a low profile. With this, you might gather some attention." said Jayna in a teasing tone.
"Ahh.. Jayna. What are you talking about?" said Angus, waking up from his daydreaming.
"You managed to dodge Ian's attack in front of everyone. Some of the teachers are even surprised at this." said Jayna.
"Really?? That's troublesome. I hope they don't force me to do something." replied Angus.
"Hahaha.. Like they could force son of the duke into doing something." said Jayna
"That's kind of a relief." said Angus.
"If it bothers you, why did you not just take Ian's attack?" asked Jayna.
"Take his attack? Like that is going to happen." said Angus.
"Ehh.. Why??" asked Jayna.
"Well, how about you? with your current strength will you let Ian touch you?" said Angus.
"Huh.. No way I will let him. There is no way a commoner like him should touch me." replied Jayna.
"See.. You also have the same answer as me. Though the reason is quite different. Hahaha..." said Angus.
"Bad Angus, you know that the only man that could touch me is you." Jayna said in a lower voice.
"Okay.. Alright, Anyway how is your progress about [Arctic Heart]?" said Angus as he is trying to divert the topic.
"Ahh.. I managed to circulate the mana properly now." said Jayna.
"Good.. make sure you always circulate it until you can do it in your sleep." said Angus.
As the two of them are chatting, Ian approaches them. Noticing this, Jayna's expression turns into an expressionless doll, and looks coldly at Ian.
"What do you want?" asked Jayna coldly as she didn't like being intruded on especially when she was with Angus.
Looking at Jayna's glare, Ian only shook his head. In the last few weeks, Jayna manages to learn Ian's fighting pattern and could defeat him easily. She managed to dodge all his attacks easily.
Although she couldn't do it like Angus where he could dodge while closing his eyes, she still could beat Ian easily. Because of this, Ian knows that Jayna is already on a different level than him.
Ignoring Jayna's glare, "Angus, let's fight?" said Ian.
Hearing this, "Excuse me??" asked Angus back.
"I know you dodge, my attack is not a fluke. So, Let's have a proper fight." said Ian.
"Ehh.. But, I am a magician." said Angus while looking at Jayna to help him.
As for Jayna, she is holding her mouth to not laugh out loud about Angus's situation.
"That doesn't matter. So, let's.." said Ian.
Before he finished his sentence, "Nope, can't do it. I am too busy. bye." interrupted Angus while walking away.
Hearing this, Ian glaring at Angus. He decided to attack Angus from behind but before he could channel his mana, "If you try to sneak attack Angus, I will kill you!" said Jayna in a chilling tone.
After saying that, Jayna leaves Ian alone and walks in Angus's direction. hearing Jayna's warning Ian couldn't help but feel a cold sweat. Unlike the previous threatening she said towards him, he feels she will kill him if he attacks Angus.
On the other hand, while Angus walked away, "Haa.. you shouldn't have said that." said Angus.
"No one will hurt you." said Jayna resolutely.
Looking at Jayna's conviction, Angus could only sigh and continue walking.
