Chapter 312 Alexi Novikov

[Quest Completed]

[User has forced Teacher Magnus to acknowledge his skills]

[Rewards: +5,000 EXP, New Random Skill]

Mako stared at the reward screen with a big smile. He was very concerned after the system update about his EXP situation as now he was going to get a lot less of it. It had already taken Mako so long to level up to Level 15, he was dreading to finding out just how bad this EXP change would affect him.The most uptodate novels are published on n0velbjn((.))com

However, he was happy to find out that the change wasn't too drastic. Just by completing 1 quest, Mako was able to gain 10% of the total EXP requirement for Level 16. Considering the number of classes and challenges he was going to face on a daily basis while in military school, he was hopeful that he could get to level 20 and update the system one more time before the showdown with the imposter went down.

'I was able to level up 15 times in 6 months, I can do it again at least five times in the same amount of time, right?' Mako said to cheer himself but he knew that the road ahead wasn't going to be easy.

"I have never seen a student this happy to join my class, usually everyone hates me," Magnus stated after seeing the wide smile on Mako's face.

Magnus' words quickly shook Mako back to reality and he quickly apologized for his odd behavior.

Magnus didn't seem to mind too much and asked Mako to follow him as he led him to his office which was in the corner of the weapons hall.

Mako was excited to get started with his training, but that would start tomorrow as this entire day was meant for introductions and adaption into the military lifestyle that cadets would have to follow for the next two years of their lives.

So he was a bit confused as to why Magnus had asked him to follow him into his office. He still wanted to visit the mana training class, just to see if he could potentially make the timings work and take both classes, but it was highly unlikely.

Even if he somehow was able to make it work and take both classes, it would leave him almost no free time to train by himself which was also very crucial considering that now he wouldn't be getting an abundance of attribute points and had to work hard to upgrade his attributes the old fashioned way.

The two of them walked through the empty and echoey hall all the way towards the end, where the was a simple door that Mako had somehow completely missed during the entire time his class was battling the horde of robots.

As Magnus opened the door to his office and gestured for him to come inside, Mako decided to leave the decision of what he was going to do with his free time for after he had visited the mana training class and to just focus on what Magnus had in store for him.

"Please... come in and have a seat, he has been quite lonely waiting for more people to join him," Magnus said with a kind and unusual tone.

"He...?" Mako asked in confusion as he entered into the office.

"Yeah! Me!" A familiar voice spoke out from inside the room, and Mako was shocked to find out the person to whom that voice belonged.

Sitting on a sofa inside Magnus' office was the last person, Mako had expected to see in this class. It was the boy who attacked Magnus in the morning and got incredibly humbled by him.

"What are you doing here?" Mako couldn't help to ask him as he couldn't believe that someone who had shown such hatred and anger toward his teacher in the morning was also chilling in his office in the evening.

"Which was why after you accepted your defeat you decided to seek me out in order to take my guidance and strength for yourself, so you could do to others what I did to you..." Magnus stated.

Alexi was now speechless, not because of Magnus' aura that was pushing him down, but rather of the truth that was spoken by him.

Magnus suppressed his aura and allowed Alexi to breathe normally again. He was still at a loss for words as Magnus had stated exactly what was going on in his head.

However, this only proved to him more that he must learn from him and become a lot stronger so that he could prove his parents wrong.

"Yes..." Alexi managed to say," What you have said is true, I do want to become strong like you, so will you teach me or not?"

"It depends..." Magnus replied calmly.

"'Depends?! Depends on what?!" Alexi shouted again, clearly showing that beating around the bush wasn't his style.

Magnus released his aura yet again, this time almost half of it. The intense pressure being released by his body was something Alexi had never experienced before.

Alexi immediately collapsed onto his knees with blood dripping from his nose, the pressure so great that he felt like he could get crushed by it any second.

"It depends on whether you agree to show respect to your teachers... It depends on whether or not you promise to never abuse or misuse your power on someone weaker than you..." Magnus stated as he walked closer to Alexi, increasing the pressure that was already on his body.

He crouched down so that their face was at the same level and he leaned forward to whisper in his ear," It depends... on whether or not... you can stop listening to your heart and start listening to your brain."

Just then an alert appeared on a screen on Magnus' desk which showed that a new student had entered the hall.

Magnus quickly retracted all of his aura before opening the door to meet Mako who had just entered the hall to ask about the special power weapons class.

"You can stay here and think about what I have said, let me know about your decision when I come back," Magnus said in his regular kind tone before heading out, leaving Alexi to recover inside his office.

[Present time]

"Do you agree to my conditions?" Magnus asked Alexi.

Alexi hesitated a bit and Mako could physically see him struggle, but in the end, Alexi agreed. Mako had no idea what had happened prior, but he understood that Magnus had given him some kind of conditions that he would have to follow if he wished to learn from him.

"Alright then... As of now... Mako Grey and Alexi Novikov... you are my students in the special power weapons class."
