I Just want a Peaceful life

A week passed by and the academy break ended. During this break, Angus focuses on practicing his alchemy skill to create potions. 

Alchemy is more complicated and difficult than Angus previously thought. Knowing it through books and practicing it in real life is a different matter.

Now he could create an ungraded mana potion with a success chance of 30%. Although the chance is small, considering Angus practiced his alchemy skill for the first time without anyone supervising, It is quite a good result. 

If it is not because of his enhanced mind and perfect body control his success chance may be lower. Still for eleven years old to create an ungraded mana potion with this chance of success is quite excellent.

Among the alchemists, the halfling race is known as the race that masters this art to the highest level. Rumor said that even their five years old kid could even create a potion with a high chance of success.

Compared to Angus, his achievement may not be comparable but it is quite good among the human race.

Now, Angus is back at Royal Academy along with Vergil. Few days after the start of the break, Vergil also returned to the capital city. If the fourth year is the examination for the specialization path, the eighth year is the examination of your combat capability.

Each of the examinations may be different for each student but it is always involved with the same thing. It is involved with a dungeon. In Firuman, there are strange and unique places called dungeons.

According to some books, Dungeon could spawn monsters endlessly every certain period. The dungeon also has many floors, each of these floors contains habitat for monsters. The higher the floor number the stronger monsters reside along with high grade.

The monster spawn in the dungeon will keep accumulated and increasing. After a certain time, it will cause a dungeon outbreak. It is a phenomenon where monsters from the lower floor move to another floor and lead monsters to come out of the dungeon.

Fortunately the higher the monster grade, the more time it respawns. Moreover, up to this day, no dungeon has been spawn monster overlord grade. Otherwise, it will create a disaster every time the dungeon respawns it.

Even if there are, the people nearby will immediately destroy its dungeon core. The dungeon without the dungeon core will malfunction and soon be destroyed. 

The only reason that the dungeon core is left alone is that this place could become an inexhaustible resource for the people nearby. 

Furthermore, the dungeon core itself is usually protected by strong monsters. It is also not easy for people to approach and destroy the dungeon core.

According to Vergil's story, his case is the student of his generation would be randomly divided into teams. Then, they were tasked to hunt a few ungraded and grade one monster to pass the test during a few days inside the dungeon.

Not only will they be judged on their combat ability performance but they will also be judged based on their survivability.

Fortunately, Vergil got a reliable team and passed the test. Still for he who is used to luxury and rich noble life find it difficult to adapt to frugal life during the test.

He even told Angus that it is one of the worst experiences he ever had during his life. While Vergil tells his story during his experience in the dungeon for the fifth time, Angus could only nod while listening to his poor brother rambling.

Still, he is quite interested in the dungeon itself. From some books he read, the dungeon is an unnatural phenomenon that suddenly appears out of nowhere. Its entrance could be inside the forest, mountain, city, or even sewer.

  'Well, there is still some time before I experience the dungeon by myself.' thought Angus.

Now, Angus is going to his Magician class. The Magician Class is not very big since there are only a few students that choose this specialization class. 

Like his previous class, each class consisted of only four to five students. Fortunately, Angus found an acquaintance among his classmates. So, he didn't feel strange in class.

First, there is Wylda from his previous class and there is Millie the Angel among Angus's generation.

After sitting beside Millie, "Morning, Millie. I didn't know you would also enter the Magician class." said Angus.

"Morning, Angus. Yeah, I also didn't know if you would choose this class." replied Millie.

"Well, I just want to have a nice and peaceful lesson while learning about spells." said Angus.

"Really?? I thought you just don't want any physical work and sleep around." replied Millie innocently.

"Ehh.. No way. But, that is also one of the good points. Hahaha" said Angus.

'Lazybones' thought the other student who heard Angus's reply.

The Royal Academy is a prestigious academy. So, the student with lazy behavior is disdained by others as they often fail the test. However, Angus not only passed the test but also scored second only to Jayna who is ranking first.

A few moments later, a male teacher came into the class. The student immediately recognizes the teacher right away. He is the same teacher that tested them during the examination.

"Morning, everyone. My name is Gustav Marvolo. You could call me teacher Gustav. I will be your homeroom teacher and your teacher at the combat training subject.

The magician class course is the same as his previous one but in the combat training course, they will be learning more about spells and practicing spells rather than having a combat spar.

They will still do a combat spar occasionally but focus more on learning and casting spells properly.

From the teacher Gustav explanation, each main course will be taught by a different teacher. The magician class final examination is also quite laxer than other classes. They only need to successfully learn and cast a few spells properly. 

Though for some students this kind of test may be harder. Furthermore, their academic course is much harder than other classes. Magician Class is a more theoretical class with a little practice.

The class tournament is also different than before. Starting from the fifth year, rather than a class tournament, it should be called a ranking tournament.

The student will be randomly divided into teams with various kinds of compositions. Be it Warrior class, Magician class, or Hybrid class they will be randomly divided. Then, they will be forced to work together and accomplish a certain objective.

This will train student adaptability under many different situations. As in the real world sometimes people need to be forced to work together under unforeseen situations especially against monsters.

The Royal Academy will produce not only good quality combatant but also a survivalist under a lot of condition. This is also the reason for their strange teaching method. They need to force their students under a lot of different conditions.

For survivalists, the most important thing is not strength but experience and their adaptability under various kinds of environments. Through the record and history, it is proved that the one that could adapt will survive while the others will perish.

One of the good examples is the elf race, not only because of their lifespan and strength that they could survive until now. But they could easily adapt to different kinds of situations as they often adapt to the change of nature.

Another example is the demon race, despite their stronger ability and strength not falling behind the elf race, they are still stuck with chaos and divided. 

One of the main reasons is because they could never easily adapt to a new environment and have an aggressive nature. Although their aggressive nature is not as aggressive as beast races.

Unlike his previous class, in Magician class, Angus needs to be proactive if he wants to learn something new. Unless they need something, the student will be left alone to study on their own.

For some students, this will be hard. But, for Angus, this is the best learning method. Moreover, one of the huge privileges of entering Magician Class is that you can learn any spells that the academy provided.

Unlike other paths, the magician path could only shine when they have a huge repertoire of spells. Though during the fight, they usually use their most familiar spells to increase their casting speed.

As for Angus who has an enhanced mind and superb control of mana, this is not a problem for him. Although his casting speed of other elemental spells is not as fast as his fire spells, it is still much faster than ordinary people.

He also learns that he could increase the casting speed, possibly instacast it by only remembering the feeling of the mana changed into the spell. Then, all he needs to do is replicate this feat by controlling the mana the same way it changed into the spell.

However, this technique requires good mana control and more mana to cast the spell. This is also the reason why people of higher grades could instantly cast low circle spells easily. 

Using their superior mana core grade, they could manipulate their mana easily and also have enough mana reserved to instacast it.
