Enjoyment In The Magical World - 17 Intermediate

Gurasu went up to the mission board and pretended to think about what mission he should choose. As he did this, he heard the mission clerk say, “The Latnem Forest near our academy…mmm…Just to kill 1 Peak Beginner Apprentice beast…..Just be careful” to the three brothers.

Usually, beasts at the same ranks of a human are much stronger than that human. It is because beasts have more vitality than humans. For example, a rank 1 beast is stronger than a normal rank 1 mage; usually, you need at least two ranks 1 mage to kill the rank 1 beast.

When Gurasu heard that, he thought, ‘The Latnem Forest is close to Elemental Academy and I heard that the strongest monster there is a rank 1 beast’. Gurasu then searched for a mission that was in Latnem Forest. He found one and went up to the mission clerk.

Most of the missions are mostly about doing something in the Latnem Forest and therefore, the clerk won’t be suspicious of Gurasu choosing a mission that was in Latnem Forest which the three brothers were doing as well.

The three brothers started to leave now. Gurasu gave the mission to the clerk and the clerk said, “Ok let’s see…Latnem Forest again….You need to kill 2 beginner apprentice beasts….Good luck and be careful”.

The mission clerk recorded Gurasu doing the mission and after that, Gurasu left as well. Gurasu left the academy and started to walk to the Latnem Forest. As Gurasu walked, he could see the three brothers in front of him. They were not that far away from Gurasu and Gurasu started to slowly walk and tried not to make any noise.

Gurasu did not want them to know he was behind them or he was doing a mission in the Latnem Forest as well. The three brothers eventually arrived in the forest and went in.

Gurasu planned to let the three brothers fight the Peak Beginner Apprentice beast and attack them when they are tired. He was not dumb to fight them now. He knew that Beginner Apprentices mage is still dangerous even if he was a Peak Knight.

Their spells can damage him and there were three of them who were at the Peak Beginner Apprentices that were a little step away from becoming an intermediate Apprentice mage.

Gurasu knew that he had to be careful and he did not even learn a spell yet. He planned to learn a spell today after he kills the three brothers.

As the three brothers were walking around in the forest and searching for a Peak Beginner Apprentice beast, they heard a noise. They stopped walking and looked around the environment.

After they did that, they heard a growl. They looked at the direction of the growl and they saw a large cat, with light-colored fur, and black spots and rosettes across their entire body. It was a Peak Beginner Apprentice leopard.

They surrounded the beast and started to prepare to cast spells. The leopard did not give them any chance and jumped at Aob. However, Bob cast a fireball spell at the leopard and it dodged the attack.

The leopard cast a claw wind spell at Bob, but Cob used an earth shield spell that stopped the attack from going to Bob.

“We can only cast 1 or 2 more spells before we run out of Amg energy in our body”, said Cob. They are still Beginner Apprentices mage and can only cast a few spells with their low amount of Amg energy in their body.

“Cast a spell that can hold the leopard in one place and Bob and I will cast a fireball at the Leopard”, said Aob.

“Ok”, said Cob. He started to get ready and prepared to cast Earth Grab spell that will make hands made of the earth come out of the ground and grab the Leopard.

However, the leopard could feel that Cob was the most dangerous to him and attacked Cob with a claw wind spell. Bob cast a fireball at the claw wind spell and stopped the attack. But the leopard knew that he was going to do that and jumped at Bob.

Aob stopped the leopard with a fireball from coming near Bob. Both Aob and Bob knew that they could only cast 1 more spell before they ran out of Amg energy in their body.

After the leopard stopped attacking Bob, two hands made out of dirt, and rock came out of the ground which was underneath the Leopard’s body and grabbed the body. The leopard couldn’t move and tried to do everything it could to leave the grasp of the earth’s hands.

However, a fireball was coming towards the leopard. The leopard couldn’t do anything but give a crying growl. The leopard couldn’t do anything but burn to death.

“Good job guys…Why did only Bob cast the fireball spell and not Cob as well?”, said Aob as he walked to the leopard’s body.

“Well…Incase if anybody attacks, I can still attack them with the fireball to protect us”, said Cob as he started to relax. However, the moment he started to relax, he saw a blade coming to his body. It was too late and the blade cut Cob’s body. However, the blade didn’t stop and disappeared as well and attacked Aob.

Aob who saw this was surprised and immediately tried to cast an earth shield to defend himself. However, the blade disappeared again and came to attack Bob. Bob, who had no Amg energy left in his body couldn’t defend the attack and the blade cut him.

“Noooooo”, said Aob who saw Bob die. This time the blade stopped and the person who was holding the blade was Gurasu. After Gurasu saw that they killed the leopard, he first attacked Cob because he had Amg energy left in his body to cast another attack spell.

“Who are you and why are you attacking us”, said Aob. Aob had no more Amg energy left in his body and lost the will to fight anymore. Gurasu just smirked and attacked Aob. After Aob died, Gurasu started to relax.

‘I am really….I can absorb from 4 organisms that have Peak Beginner Apprentice Mage level power’, thought Gurasu with an excited smile. He looked at his stats.

Name: Gurasu Chlos

Race: Human

Rank: Beginner Apprentice mage, Peak Knight level.

Strength: 20

Vitality: 20

Agility: 20

Spirit: 1.1

Ability: Devour

After he saw that, he went to devour Aob. He touched Aob and thought, ‘Devour’ which caused him to automatically absorb power from Aob’s body and transfer to his body. After that, he looked at his stats.

Spirit: 2

When he saw that, he smiled and then went to devour Bob. He did the same process again and his stats improved again. Gurasu looked at his stats.

Spirit: 2.9

When he saw that, Gurasu thought, ‘I knew it…Who would have that the Devour ability only absorbs pure power without any impurities from an organisms’ body and transfers it to my body…That is the reason why my stats don’t improve that much’.

Either Gurasu was happy because he knew that absorbing power that has impurities can harm him and he is still getting stronger with absorbing power that has no impurities which are not harming him.

Gurasu then went to Cob’s body and started the absorbing process again. He looked at his stats.

Spirit: 3.8

Finally, Gurasu went up to the leopard’s body and started the absorbing process again. Gurasu then looked at his stats again.

Spirit: 4.9

When Gurasu saw that, he became happy and thought, ‘Just 0.1 more and I can become an intermediate apprentice mage’. Gurasu realized that there is 5 spirit points difference in the apprentice mage rank.

A beginner apprentice mage has spirit points between 0.1 and 4.9. An intermediate apprentice mage has spirit points between 5 and 9.9. An advanced apprentice mage has spirit points between 10 and 14.9. Finally, a Peak Apprentice mage has spirit points between 15 and 19.9.

Gurasu made this assumption from the stages at Knight level. He is 90 percent sure that he is right. Gurasu believes that when he has 20 spirit points, he will become a rank 1 mage.

Gurasu then scavenged all the corpses around him and see that can he find any valuables on them. On the three brothers, he couldn’t find anything and realized that they probably left their valuables in their room.

Gurasu then looked at the corpse around him and made the plan to cut apart each of the corpses and throw it in different locations in the forest. He did this in case if anybody wants to look for the three brothers’ bodies.

However, Gurasu knew that after he leaves and beasts in the forest will eat the corpses. Gurasu remembered that he has to finish his mission which is to kill 2 beginner apprentice beasts.

Gurasu found one and killed it. He looked for the second one and eventually found one. He killed the second one. He then used the devour ability on the two beasts and then looked at his stats.

Spirit: 5

When Gurasu saw this, he was very happy and thought, ‘Finally, I became an Intermediate Apprentice Mage’. Gurasu took the corpses so he can show it to the mission clerk that he finished the mission.

Luckily, he had a bag that he brought with him and put the corpses in the bag.

Gurasu then left the forest and walked back to the Elemental Academy. Gurasu went to the mission room and gave the corpses to the mission clerk. Gurasu got 2 Amg crystals as the reward for finishing the mission.

Gurasu left the mission room and went back to his room.
