Chapter 106: Third Year Story Part 2

( Hours later... )

" Hmph... " I think to myself as I searched for anything in the place.

" Is this her last location? " I asked Tania.

" Yes, her last Mana essence was sensed here, young master. " Tania tells me which makes me realize something, especially this place, the large garden section of the academy, the place filled with trees that the academy has yet to cut, probably because this garden is connected to a large forest nearby.

" Hmm... this garden... "

" I was often wondering if this garden could be the perfect hiding spot for anything suspicious that haunts the academy. " I said as I see this very huge plantations garden, filled with large trees.

" Maybe I should operate you all in this place more often then... " I say to my Black Shadow, especially to the elven ones, since the forest is kinda their perfect habitat to operate their work.

" Shall we search this forest for you, young master? " Tania asks me as she looks at it.

" Of course, you and the Black Shadow Dark Elves should've been the ones that I operate regarding this matter. " I said to Tania as I see her face.

" Is there something wrong? I can see the doubt in you... " I asked her while Tania just look at the forest silently as if she was trying to analyze the odd feeling she felt in this forest.

I knew, what she felt, thanks to our <Link> that was so tight. The link makes me know what she feels the moment right now, it helps me understand her more.

"( Through our <Link>, I also felt what she feels wrong about this large garden... )"

"( Despite this setback, it actually proves my always first assumption of this place being the perfect spot for something shady. )"

"( If that's the case..., maybe I should..., hmm... )"

"( Should I also deploy him, in this place...? )" I think for a second, regarding whether I should deploy Black Shadow Doom in this place.

"( No, I think he's too explosive and destructive if I deploy him here... )"

"( Besides, this place is still near the academy, even if we go deep into the forest that this garden is connected with. )" I said to myself, realizing how openly the risk for me is if I deploy Doom at this current time.

When I think of him, I can feel Doom saddened inside the Shadow Realm, feeling disappointed as I didn't deploy him again for obvious discreet reasons.

"( Sorry Doom, perhaps I will deploy you during further Dungeon Raids, then... )" I tell him at the time, that mysterious inhuman large Black Shadow of mine, still wondering what the hell is he originally.

As I talk with Doom, I then realized that I have another alternative of armies I could choose for this task, for their very animalistic existence might've helped the Black Shadow Dark Elves in their duty.

" Let's give it a try then... " I said to myself as I then summon a new Black Shadow army.

< Summon: >

< Black Shadow Servants, Warhog Warriors (LVL.5) >

< Numbers: 30 >

"( This should be sufficient, for now... )" I said to myself as the Warhog Warriors were summoned before me.

As they were summoned, I immediately ordered them with the Black Shadow Dark Elves to go and explore the very garden, even the forest it was connected to if they have to, which they've done it happily as they all leave my presence.

*The Bell rings from afar*

" It's time... "

" Guess I have to leave things to you all then, my Black Shadows. "

" Seriously, the academy class sections begin to restrict my movements more this semester. " I said to myself, recounting what I read in this semester's calendar regarding the schedules, the assignments, the projects, and the exams.

" Shit, better learn more seriously or else my parents will be pissed. " I ran towards my class, hoping not to be late for the next teacher that will teach in my class is the most 'killer' teacher in the whole academy, the scariest teacher of them all which could make my academic values zero if I disobey just one of his rules, which is also about not being late.

...

....

( At the same time. )

[ Prodigal Academy's library. ]

Carlos is sitting in his chair, reading the books that he borrowed, he used his Absent Points to skip the 'killer' teacher's class today.

Absent Points is a points gathered by students if they reached the top rank in their class, granting them the Absent Points they could use to skip class for an urgent thing.

Normally, each student in the 1st-grade classes (from Class 1-S to Class 1-D) was given the standard of 5 Absent Points. But if the students had their high-ranking in their classes, they will be given a bonus Absent Point, regarding which class they are from.

For Class 1-C and 1-D, the high-ranking students will be given one Absent Point. For Class 1-A and 1-B, since the students are technically smarter than the two bottom classes, the high ranks will be given two Absent Points. Class 1-S, the top Class, get the top privileges to have more Absent Points than the rest of the classes, not just three or four, but they will be given five more Absent Points.

These points will be given after the exam. Even in the Mid Exams, the rankings of students are given in order to show their progress in the Class including the Absent Points.

Also remember, these points will be given to the top ten for Class 1-S, the top five for Class 1-A and 1-B, and for the top three for Class 1-C and 1-D. This distribution value of the Absent Points is currently stated in the academic rules.

And because of that, Carlos, being the top student he is, now gets a total of 10 Absent Points after the mid-Terms. If he stays at the top, then he will be given five more after the Final Exam.

As Carlos sits there, he was then greeted by Carol who also uses her Absent Points to skip the class, for now.

" Hello there, Carlos... "

" It seems you want to be alone, hmmm...? " Carol asks.

" Carol... " Carlos greets her as he stares at her.

Extra:

Class 1-S gets more privileges since they are at the top. For 1st grade, the goal of the students is to be on the highest Rank in order for them to get more privileges like the Absent Points and many more which I will tell later in future chapters. Cheers.
