Chapter 95: What is fun?

Without wasting too much time, Shane arrived at the shelter only slightly more than two hours later.

Knowing that school would begin at 8 am, he took a glance at the system's time, only to see that it was barely 2:30 am, which left him with more than five hours time to do other things.

Over the last 40 days since Shane entered the Primordial Dimensions, he never had time to relax or do something else than fighting, cultivating, researching information to earn more funds, or other tasks that focused on increasing his strength.

As such, he wanted to do something else for the next few hours, before focusing on the academy, or rather gathering intel about his classmates, or also called competitors.

In the end, Shane only wanted to enter an academy because of the dimension-sphere which allowed him to save some funds, while it was also beneficial for him to get to know his peers' strength.

Even if he entered the Shirai academy, which was labeled as one of the weakest, Shane was sure that at least youths that entered the Primordial dimension for a few months longer should be as strong as him, if not even stronger.

It was not really difficult for parents within the intermediate dimension to procure funds for their children in order for them to receive enough resources to reach the 10th Expert stage with a mana purity of 60%, while the main issue was their combat prowess.

If one couldn't use their physique or mana pool to the fullest extent, it was entirely useless to even cultivate at all, because even someone at the Apprentice stage with an essential high combat prowess might be able to defeat combat rookies, also called combat-cripples within a short amount of time.

Shane calculated that most students should have already reached the Apprentice rank, with many older youths that might have already broken into the Expert rank.

'It's probably like aunty Kia said, huh? Cultivation really starts at the Master rank or rather within the Intermediate Dimension, where not even the financial situation of most parents is enough to procure resources...even for themselves.'

Shaking his head, he could only disapprove of most parents' decision to spoil their children with goodwill and resources only for them to have a hard time within the intermediate dimension.

'This was probably another reason for the government to construct many academies, huh?'

Without bothering about this, he had to think of a way to defeat such enemies in order to receive more opportunities to enter a dimension-sphere, because Shane doubted that he would be able to completely comprehend a technique or skill within a single sitting.

As such, there was much for him to consider but this was something that could bother him later…

Now, he wanted to have some fun, which was not one of Shane's privileges.

Walking towards the Dimensional Portal, he pondered what to do, as he noticed something…

'What is fun?' On earth, he was happy to play around with all kinds of wild animals, but seeing them being injured or dying was traumatizing for Shane, which led him to become a veterinarian, only to be shot later.

And thinking about his childhood on Igra, Shane could only frown, thinking that fun was the last thing he ever received.

The only thing which made him slightly happy, was the time with his aunts and uncles because they treated him well and it was always interesting to listen to their stories, while his father never told him anything about his past at all.

'Should I just read something?' Shane pondered as he stepped through the DImensional Portal in order to arrive at Igra, where he hadn't been for a long time.

Once he entered Igra, an uncomfortable feeling enveloped him and he immediately realized the emptiness around and within him.

'Comparing Igra without a single trace of mana with the Primordial Dimensions is really sad…' Sighing deeply, Shane wanted to go back into the Dimensional Portal to leave Igra, as he forced himself to stay.

There was still a trace of hope left as he thought 'I hope they have a mana generator within the academy….Otherwise, I'm not going to waste my time on Igra, except for the intervals when I can receive the chance to enter a dimension-sphere…'

Without amiable mana particles around him, Shane felt demotivated while the remaining mana within him was slowly circulated through his veins in order to annex it and purify it.

Looking around, it was still completely dark, while he was teleported to Lira, which was the Stella-federation's capital, with approximately 250 million citizens living there.

Shane lived there for his whole second life but he never saw many citizens, because he lived within a mansion that was surrounded by a huge forest and a large fence.

Furthermore, it was additionally protected by a large number of guardians at the Squire stage or even higher, indicating the importance John Stella gave his own son.

Or was it the opposite?

Without him being able to do what he wanted, the mansion felt more like a prison while the humans protecting his life and the mansion felt more like prison guards.

It was only because Shane was lucky that one particular guard slacked of and slept during his duty, that he could escape from the prison-like mansion.

Maybe he helped out a little bit, but who would ever figure this out?

Smiling lightly at the sight of Lira-city, he could see many citizens walking around, even though it was almost 3 am.

'The mana high-velocity(MHV) train should arrive soon, right?' Shane thoguht, as he took a look at the clock and the time provided at the ticket he purchased a few days ago.

Since the Dimensional Portals descended, one could use the system for almost everything and Shane did so to purchase an MHV-train ticket.

Opening Lira's map, Shane rushed towards the direction where he presumed the train station to be situated and only a few minutes later he saw a gigantic skyline train station, shocking him.

It would be unsuitable for an extremely fast train to race through a narrow and crowded city, which was the reason for a skyline train station to be built.

With this, the MHV-train could immediately accelerate to its top speed without wasting much time and Shane was extremely fortunate, as he noticed that only three minutes were left until his train would arrive.

Hurrying up the stairs, he searched for his track and waited for the train to arrive.

Meanwhile, his mind was still filled with the question of what exactly fun is and Shane could only think of it as being happy around other people or animals because he didn't know what else it might be otherwise.

Suddenly he heard a few voices next to him, attracting his attention

"Hey Aimy, are you also on your way to the Shirai academy? Me to hehehe!!" Turning around, he saw two young girls around his age talking to each other.

According to their clothes, expression, and released aura, Shane perceived, he faintly smiled.

'It might be more interesting than I thought if everyone is at their level'

"Olivia, please don't behave as if it was a coincidence!! Wasn't it obvious which academy I would apply to?!"

Still smiling, Shane decided to not mind the two girls behind him, as he turned back to mind his own business, waiting for the train to arrive.

'What can I do to have fun inside the train?' He asked himself when he was bothered by what the girl who was apparently called Olivia said.

"Can you see the beggar in front of us? Why does he look so dirty? Isn't it weird for someone at the MHV-train platform to look like this?"
