41 Chapter 41: Power force from four Triling rings

Kevin left the dorm room as soon as he heard that Lexa had left for the canteen. He was amazed seeing how early Lexa had woken. She had woken up before the alarm sounded, and that left him wondering why she was in the haste of going to the canteen. Or perhaps she’s angry at Kevin for leaving her all alone when they promised to read together.

“Why won’t she be angry at you? You left her standing all alone without saying anything. Even if it is- Can you wait for me in the garden, don’t go anywhere, I’ll be back soon. What type of person are you? Do you think a girl will fall for someone as cruel as you?”

“Ah, I know.., I know. I should have told her where I was going yesterday. I should find her and ask for forgiveness. It’s obvious she’s mad at me about yesterday.”

“Go ahead, find and ask for her forgiveness. You hear me1 shout, I heard you. I’m going to find her now, will you please stop shouting in my head.” Kevin replied, his hands on his head as he finally exited the dorm building and started walking towards the direction of the canteen. Many other students were making their way to the canteen, it was obvious that a long Queue would have been formed as everyone was in the haste of reaching the canteen on time. And apart from that, the students were excited on their first day in class. Rumors had it that they would be learning the energy weapon skill on their first week and by next week, they would be promoting those who successfully managed to learn the skill so well to the rank of a mage soldier. Each student will be promoted to the rank of a mage soldier every week as long as they succeeded in learning how to control the energy in their bodies by forming it into different types of weapons.

Kevin was just a few meters close to the canteen. Walking silently behind him was Dan. He has been watching him since he left the dorm room. He wanted to know what he did with the ring he took from Bryce. Perhaps he wanted to sell it or something. His thought was that perhaps the ring was in his pocket. It makes sense that he didn’t want to put it on because many eyes are on things like that. Everyone knew that the other bullies also have those rings on their fingers, so everyone had already labeled the ring as the bully’s matching rings because they all look similar. They can’t tell each ring apart. All twenty-four bullies of their school had the rings on their fingers, including Bryce made it twenty-five.

“Kevin, I can feel the powerful force of one of the Triling rings close by.” The A1 said.

“Really? Where? I guess It’ll be easy finding the rings quickly than I thought.”

“Go a little bit forward then look to your right, the power of the Triling ring is coming from there. It doesn’t seem to be just one, I can feel the powerful force coming from four Triling rings. Quick.”

“Alright, I understand you. I’ll go get the rings. God knows whose hands it will be this time around. But how could that person have four rings in his hands, if it’s not a curse.” Kevin said as he approached a group of students that were gathered at a point, busy looking at something.

.....

“It must be in the hands of one of these students. I wonder who would have it among them. Perhaps I should check their fingers first, but won’t it raise suspicion.” Kevin thought as he stood behind the gathered students.

“No Kevin, you’re checking the wrong place. Move forward a little bit, that’s where the power force is coming from.”

Kevin heaved a sigh of relief within himself as he felt glad that he didn’t get to be checking each of the student’s hands one by one. He would be called a pervert if he was caught. And talking about these students, what exactly are they looking at?

Kevin stood on his toes to see what was going on and then he saw it. At a corner, a female student was trapped by four bullies. The bullies had smiles on their faces but the female student looks frightened and angry at the same time.

“Wait, are my eyes kidding me? Is that not Lexa?” Kevin pushed through the students as he stood in front of them all. He could see it clearly, Lexa was cornered by four elves. They were saying things but no one could hear them. The gathered students were standing at a far distance away from the bullies.

Kevin was still confirming if who he saw was Lexa but the sudden scream for help from her confirmed it for him and he ran out for her rescue. But before he could act rashly, he had received notifications from the system and from the A1 who called himself Kevin’s master.

Kevin’s eyes widened in amazement as he read the notifications that the system gave him. He is going to complete this quest at all costs. If it is to defeat these bullies, Kevin would strive his best to do that. If he manages to defeat them, he won’t just receive the 200 Exp but he would be able to level up once or twice.

He read further and saw that the bonus is not limited to the 200 Exp.

‘This is awesome. Bring it on, I’ll destroy these brats. Even though I may not know how to use my newly gotten skills, I can still use the few tricks I learned from my father’s disciples and grab the rings from their fingers.’

‘Luckily, your fighting skill is higher than theirs, it will be easy defeating them all.’
