As the people slowly emptied the room, Leo got up and walked to the stage where Maria was watching everyone leave. She saw him walking toward her.
“Is there anything you want, Leo?” She asked him.
He nodded. “I have a couple of questions I wanted to ask you,” he said.
“Sure, what is it?” She asked him.
“Well, you said that a person simply cannot take too many pills at once and that it is too dangerous after a point. Is there no exception to that?” He asked her.
She smiled when she heard the question. “That’s a good question. Well, there’s an exception to almost every rule. It has been recorded in history that there is a rare body constitution that can take as many pills as the body is provided.
The reason that it can take as many pills is that it can automatically disperse the impurities that normally accumulate when taking pills. It can take a great amount of aura from these pills because the constitution requires a huge amount of aura to break through to future levels.
The name of this constitution is the Pill Body. Based on whether the person is a Mage or an Aura Knight, we call them Magic Pill Bodies or Aura Pill Bodies.”
Everything that she said seemed incredibly similar to what he had experienced. He needed a huge amount of aura to break through but he could take as many pills as he wanted. The thing he was curious to test after this was if it was the same with magic pills.
“Another question I had was, what are the Aura Essence and Body Tempering Pills?” He asked her.
She chuckled at the question. “I didn’t realize that some people wouldn’t know what they are. The Aura Essence Pill is a pill with a purer aura than the Aura Gathering Pill. It also has 10 times more aura. But it is also 20 times as expensive.
As for the Body Tempering Pill, it isn’t a pill solely for Aura Knights. It’s a pill that can clean the impurities in a body as well as strengthen it. It is incredibly valuable and hard to find.”
He nodded. “Thanks!”
He turned around after he got the answers to his questions and left the hall. Outside, the people he was sitting with were all waiting for him.
“What were you doing?” Marcus asked him.
He shook his head. “Nothing. So what next?” He asked.
They all didn’t have anything in mind.
“How about we check out the Trial Tower?” Marcus suggested.
Madison looked down. “I don’t have any points,” she said.
“Then we can check out the Mission Hall,” Lyra said. “We will need to go there anyway.”
They all agreed with her and left for the Mission Hall. When they got to the Mission Hall, they saw that it was not empty like on the first day. It was full of students who were trying to finish missions.
They entered the mission hall. There were missions on every wall. They picked a wall and went to it. When they got closer, they saw missions being displayed on papers stuck on the wall.
They saw that the students were simply taking the paper and getting it registered at the desks in the back of the hall. Leo and Marcus realized that it was the same system as the one in the Mercenary Guild.
They quickly went to see what the missions were and smiled when they got to the wall. All the missions were very much like the missions they normally did. They were monster subjugations missions and gathering missions.
This was going to be very good for Leo because he would be leaving the forest for that. He could just use his magic to make it easier to finish the missions.
They each took out a paper and looked back to find that the two girls were completely confused.
“Do you know how this works?” Madison asked.
Marcus immediately started explaining to her. “Yup. So all you have to do is look through the missions here and pick one. But be careful. You want to pick a mission that you can easily finish. Like this one. It’s a mission to find a Fire-Attributed Early-Stage 2nd Circle Beast Core. It gives 700 points for that.”
Madison nodded. “So are we going to take a 1st Circle Magical Beast and subdue it together?” She asked.
“No. Each one of us is going to take a mission, and we will all complete it at our own pace,” he said in a calm tone.
She was confused. “But that’s a 2nd Circle Magical Beast. How will you complete that mission?” She asked Marcus.
“I’m a 2nd Circle Aura Knight. It should be pretty easy, actually.” He said.
Madison looked at Lyra.
“I’m also a 2nd Circle Aura Knight,” she said.
She then looked at Leo. He nodded too. Her face became sullen.
“Does that mean all of you have ranks?” She asked them. All of them nodded.
“So do you think I should try and find another group to finish the missions?” She asked.
Leo shook his head. “No. You are an Early-Stage 1st Circle Aura Knight. That means you have the capability to handle an Early-Stage 1st Circle Magical Beast by yourself. If you try to split the points with someone else, you will be left with nothing.” He said.
He walked forward and scanned the entire wall. He quickly found a suitable mission.
“Here. Just bring back an Early-Stage 1st Circle Beast Core and you can finish this mission,” he said.
She reluctantly took the mission while Lyra chose her own mission. Once everyone picked out a mission, Leo also pulled out a paper. Unlike the other two, he took out a mission that required him to face a Middle-Stage 2nd Circle Magical Beast.
The other two looked at him with a competitive glance but didn’t switch their missions. They didn’t want to test their limits as much.
After they each picked out a mission, they went to get it registered. When they did, they just had to show their student card to show their identity.
Once they were done with that, the only thing left to do was to go out and finish the missions.
“So I guess we split ways here,” Leo said. “I will see you all at the next lecture.”
He quickly left, leaving Madison with Marcus and Lyra. None of them knew what to do.
“Do you also want to leave to do your missions?” Madison asked.
Marcus looked at how scared she was at finishing the mission by herself and sighed. “If you want, you can finish your mission with me. I can make sure you don’t get hurt,” he said.
Madison’s eyes shined. “Really?” She asked.
Marcus nodded. At this point, Lyra pitched in.
“I can also join you. I don’t think I have anything else to do,” she said.
Madison’s mouth morphed into a huge smile.
“Thank you so much!”
While the three were having a bonding moment, Leo was busy going to the Points Shop.
