Chapter 47: Sytem Benefit

Angus arrived at his dorm without any obstruction. While he is entering the dorm, the other students inside the dorm still wake up and stay in the common room.

Fortunately, Princess Jayna is already resting in her own room. So, Angus could immediately enter the dorm without creating a commotion.

After having a hearty dinner meal by paying some points Angus immediately rests in his own room. During these few months of his stay inside the spring dorm, the others already notice Angus's antisocial behaviour. So, they didn't really pay a mind towards him.

They may not notice if Angus suddenly disappears from his room during the night. Entering inside his room, Angus took off his academy uniform change into his prepared training clothes.

While the other students usually use their evening time to study or rest, Angus always uses this time to train his body silently.

By using his manual battle system, he could train all kinds of destructive and dangerous moves without creating a commotion. As for his own study, his mind could understand all the courses easily.

He only needs to study a little bit before doing some tests. As for some homework could easily be done in the early morning.

At first he thought that re-learning again is easy but the royal academy course is much more complicated and harder than in his past life. Some of the courses like Word language, Monster Studies, and Magical Rune are new for him.

Normally, students of the first year may need to do a lot of review and study at night to follow up with the class. Fortunately, Angus's own intelligence is being enhanced by the system to cope up with all this new knowledge.

Angus intelligence point may only 15 but it is already more than twice normal human mind capability. This is also the reason why Angus didn't want to increase his intelligence more.

It is not that he didn't want to improve it, but rather it is already enough for his current situation. Beside that he really didn't like the sudden feeling of being enhanced by the system.

It feels unnatural and creates a sort of unbalance inside his body. If it is only one point, he needs a few days to adapt to it.

But more than that, he needs more time and as a person that is already on the boundary of being a control freak, Angus hates this kind feeling of uncontrollable body.

After doing his workout routine, he summons his own status panel.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 8 Years Old

MP: 100/100

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 12

Dexterity: 12

Intelligence: 15

Vitality: 20

Soul Point: 135

During all his stay inside the academy while observing other students, Angus managed to optimize his soul point gain by 3 per day.

The automatic battle's enemy he chooses is an upperclassmen that he observes by chance through a duel between their peers.

He could beat an upperclassmen that still didn't form their mana core. As for the one that already forms it, he rarely sees them fight beside Henry.

He noticed the difference between students with mana core and not. The qualitative change is so huge that sometimes Angus marvels about it.

He didn't know if it is because Henry is actually really strong or the people with mana core are actually stronger by nature. After all, he only unlocked Henry's full capabilities in manual battle after he tried to stalk him for a long time.

As for the other upperclassmen, he needs to fully observe for a long time to unlock all their full capabilities which is a waste of time for Angus. He prefers to use this time to enjoy the scenery rather than stalking some stinky kids.

Still defeating Henry through the manual battle gave him a soul point of 0,0001. But, the best time he won the battle was more than five minutes. If Angus was careless, he may need 10 minutes to fully kill him.

Therefore, Angus set his automatic battle to fight students without mana core that he could defeat in second. 

This way Angus would gain more soul points every second that lead into 3 points per day rather than only get 0,0001 points every five minutes which equals 1,7 points per day.

After checking his status panel, Angus selected his opponent list in manual battle selection. Along the manual battle, there are a lot of opponents selected.

However, most of them couldn't give a better reward because of lack of observation or they are too strong like his father, Balrug, and other strong teachers.

For this kind of opponent the percentage of winning was always less than 40% this with the premise he still didn't uncover their full capabilities. 

The most frustrating thing about this is his winning percentage towards fighting the intruder that he kills before still not moving from 37%. 

Although there is not a lot of time passed since then and his strength itself has stagnated, his skill is much better than before. But, the percentage of winning didn't increase at all.

This shows that higher grade people could easily kill him despite him mastering various kinds of skills. All kinds of skills and tricks will be useless in front of true power.

Angus realizes that higher grade people in this world are many times stronger than experts in his past life world.

After calming his mind, he chose Henry as the opponent for his manual battle and his mind entering the familiar white battle room.

In front of him there is a humanoid creature with Henry's body stature. Feeling at the familiar bloodlust, Angus readying himself to fight him.

Soon, the countdown ends and signifies the start of the battle. Like usual Angus always tries to end the battle as soon as possible with his overwhelming enhanced speed and skills.

But, the tenacity of his opponent is quite strong despite being beaten by Angus. After five minutes or so, finally the humanoid creature makes its last breath.

"Haa.. Haa.. It's defence and vigor is really something else." said Angus while trying to calm his breath.

Facing such a strong 'punching bag' Angus became more excited. After taking a short break to calm his breath and restore his mana, this time he chose a multiple battle menu.

Then, he chose Henry and a few other students without mana core as an opponent. The multiple battle menu also calculates his percentage of winning.

For his safety he kept his percentage of winning more than 70%. It seems not a lot but the difficulty is increased by a lot of margin from his usual 90% winning chance.

Just a little bit of slight distraction, he could get himself killed. After all there is around a 30% chance of him dying or losing under this battle.

Up till now, Angus never lost in the manual battle. Because it means he died under battle. Although the battle only happened inside his mind, he noticed all the injuries he got always affected his actual body.

He didn't want to gamble his life and find out about this matter. There is a chance he may survive, but his gut tells him he will also die.

As an expert of martial art, Angus's danger sense is very reliable. So, he treats this manual battle system carefully. After all, the existence of the system itself is an anomaly and mysterious.

From Angus's past life experience, he believes there is no such thing as a free meal in this world. Since he got the system, the system must have wanted something from Angus.

But, Angus himself never truly cared about this. Because he himself never uncovered the true intent and origin of the inheritance chi in his past life. 

Now, he got an addition to this mysterious idle system. For him, Angus only thought both of them as a tool for him to get stronger.

Soon, Angus self battle 'training' came to end after he almost exhausted all his mana and stamina. The moment he gets out from the manual battle room, it is already in the middle of night.

Even though Angus is still in a child body but his stamina is truly monstrous that could compare to some third grade people. It is only possible since his vitality stat reaches to 20 which is four times more than ordinary ungraded people.

After the heavy exercise, Angus takes a bath and soaks inside the warm water for a while before sleeping on his own bed.

Few days passed by as Angus continued his academy life in the day and secret training in the evening. Soon, the weekend comes and Angus needs to keep his word to come training under Balrug.

Arriving at the smithing area which is as busy and crowded as usual, he is immediately founded by the old dwarf.

"Good, it seems you really keep your word. Now, come with me." said Balrug.

Both of them go to the basement area and arrive at the huge room that is made of unknown dark colored material. Be it the floor, wall, and ceiling all of them made from the same material.

There is also no window since it is located underground. Only a small air duct and vent to be found for the air flow.

"This room is actually for a weapon testing area. It is made from special alloy material that is also reinforced with various kinds of runes. From now on, this will be your training area." explained the old dwarf.

"Good place. So, what are we gonna do?" asked Angus excitedly.
