Chapter 94 Phase 3!

?Sighing slightly, Alvin quickly changed the topic, trying not to increase Elric's depression

Thankfully, either Elric was very good at hiding his expression or quickly recovered, but soon as time passed and their discussion on the week's activities started, a familiar smile appeared once again on Elric's

"So young master, what should we do next?"

Looking at Elric's mood which had improved, George quickly asked about their next course of action.

After this fight, the four of them had experienced such a level of power of the first time, and remembering the outcome, the zeal to become stronger couldn't be stronger than present

Now seeing Elric smiling, George took this opportunity to ask Elric hoping he could get an opportunity to get stronger

In fact, not only George had this thought in mind as Alvin and Davis turned towards Elric hoping he had a plan

Lucky for them, Elric did have one!

Ever since he woke up, apart from thinking about his arm, Elric had been thinking of what to do next.

This time he only survived due to Ristarte's lack of attention and contempt, Elric knew that if he was any weaker than this, Asmodeus would most likely have descended and worst comes to worst wiped them all out

Thankfully although at the expense of an arm, he managed to survive, but looking at his only good arm remaining, Elric wasn't sure if it wasn't enough

So remembering the feeling of being weak, remembering the feeling of being hopeless, remembering the feeling of losing his arm, Elric's eyes gradually became serious

After thinking of it for a while and considering all his options, Elric finally came to a conclusion

Looking towards the three of them, Elric spoke out his next plans

"Alvin! Davis! George! We're moving onto phase three"

Hearing Elric say this, the three of their eyes sharpened as his words rang in their ears

Phase three!

According to Elric's plan, phase three was called 'explore and conquest', during this plan, the three of them were meant to use the map and attack the surroundings tribes while trying to absorb as much population as possible

However, this plan was not without flaws.

Firstly, the sudden influx of population would definitely cause an inevitable gap among the current students causing in an increase in chaos and dissatisfaction levels in the school

Secondly, the school would need to be expanded in order to accommodate the new population, after all, the current facilities couldn't house an indefinite amount of population

And lastly, food! The increase in population would mean that the hunting squad would need to be expanded in order to to get more prey. Thankfully a few more apprentice wizards had sensed mana improving the overall combat power of Hogwarts.

Thinking of these problems, Elric couldn't help but sigh, to be honest, according to Elric's original plans, most of these problems were meant to be solved before implementing them, unfortunately the situation doesn't permit it.

Although most of the problems were indeed something that needed to be fixed, considering the current situation, Elric still decided to go ahead

In order to avoid a situation like last time from happening again, Elric decided from now on to improve him strength no matter what cost or who got hurt in the process

As long as the few people he held dear were alright, Elric decided to himself it didn't matter if some primitives got hurt in the process.

Feeling his change of thought pattern, Elric couldn't help but sigh, unknowingly he had gradually changed into the kind of people he hated the most

A black-hearted capitalist!

However realising that this was the change he needed in order to survive in this new world, Elric gladly welcomed it.

And I'm fact, it was like there were no benefits to the plan, after all with the large influx of students, the number of wizards would increase simultaneously leading to an increase in speed in the definition of the wizarding profession and studies

Not only that, once successfully promoted, these apprentice wizards can serve as both reserve power banks for him In case of emergencies and an extra source of combat power

So considering the gains and disadvantages, Elric firmly decided on going through with the plan

At this time, after watching Elric's expression and realising he was serious, Alvin, George, and Davis also became focused knowing that the next phase was about to start

"This time, I will make sure nothing goes wrong!"

Whispering slightly, Alvin clenched his fists as he promised himself that nothing to go wrong this time

Although no one said it, Alvin still blamed himself for everything that happened

If only, he didn't appear there at that moment

If only he didn't try and fight back and ran away

If only he didn't call for the young master

Those were the thoughts that kept on ringing through Alvin's head as he felt responsible for everything that happened

However thinking in order not to worry anyone, Alvin hid this emotion deep within him as a fake smile was plastered on his face

In fact, Alvin wasn't the only one that had such thoughts, as similar thoughts filled with Davis and George's heads as for one reason or the other, they each blamed themselves for what happened

Unknowingly at this time, the depressed atmosphere which had slowly reduced, suddenly showed signs of rising as various negative emotions filled the air

*Cough! Cough!*

Feeling the change of mood, Elric suddenly coughed attracting everyone's attention

"Well I think that's all for today, let's get some rest after all, none of our injuries are light"

Saying this, Elric motioned for them to disperse. Hopefully, after a day's rest, the mood should have become better and maybe they and he included can channel this depression into their zeal for the future

Soon under Elric's command, After saying goodbye, George, Alvin, and Davis left the room leaving Elric alone

*Sigh… I hope tomorrow turns out to be better*

Sighing closely, Elric closed his eyes trying to get some rest.
