Chapter 24: Preparing for a Long Journey

Opening his eyes, the sky had fallen back into darkness. Mark looked up at the wall and found that it was already seven in the evening.

“I’ve been too tired recently. I’ll rest for two days!”

After getting up, he first went to the school’s communication device at the entrance and typed Teacher Arnold’s number into the communication device.

Then, he sent a message.

“I’m very sorry. I’ve been busy with a mission these two days, so I didn’t go to class today!”

“If there’s any distributed information, please let me know. I’ll find time to collect it.”

Not long after sending the message, the communication device rang.

.

He opened the message.

“There’s nothing important today. Tomorrow, the academy will organize a long-distance activity.”

“If you have time tomorrow, please come to the class to hear the details.”

“Of course, if there’s still an ongoing mission, I’ll inform you separately!”

Closing the communication device, Mark went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

As he ate, he flipped through the mission list in his hand. They were all designated solo monsters. They were all in relatively remote areas.

After dinner, Mark sat on the sofa and looked through the information sent by the teachers to confirm that he had already learned them.

He then went to the backyard to do evening training.

Although he had not been training in the wilderness for a long time, Mark could clearly feel his endurance and magic power crazily increasing!

Since the last test, they had almost grown by 1.5 times.

His endurance was even more ridiculous, directly increasing by 3 times!

It was not an exaggeration to say that it was three times as much because Mark had not stopped training for three hours. He did not feel any fatigue at all.

“Is it because of the black and white light?”

At this point, Mark had completely forgotten about the dream when he played with the baby dragon in the consciousness space.

He did not even realize that a huge black and white dragon tattoo had appeared on his back.

After ending the training, only a thin layer of sweat flowed out. He did not even use up half his stamina.

After showering, Mark fell asleep and prepared to test his endurance the next day.

After entering the dream, Mark returned to his consciousness space, but the dragon in front of him was even larger now.

From this dragon, he could feel a sense of familiarity from the depths of his heart.

Taking the opportunity to ask while playing, Mark asked the young dragon, “What’s your name?”

Hearing this, the confused young dragon shook its head.

The cute appearance of the young dragon immediately made Mark very fond of it. He reached out and gently caressed its head.

After some thought, he thought of a very nice name, ‘Isagar’.

After giving the name, a contract insignia appeared on Isagar’s neck. This insignia was reflected on Mark’s wrist.

Then, he was forcefully brought out of the consciousness space.

When he woke up, Mark habitually looked at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already five in the morning.

“It’s already morning?”

“I seemed to have had a very realistic dream last night. What did I dream about?” Because he could not recall it, he sat up from the sofa and went to the backyard to do morning training.

In just one night, Mark felt his strength increase again, his endurance had by two times of before!

“Strange. During this period of time, my endurance has increased by three times and my magic power storage has doubled!”

After an hour and a half of training, he did not feel any fatigue.

Because of the time, he had to return to his room to take a shower and change into his school uniform.

Then, as usual, he entered Class S and waited for the homeroom teacher, Arnold, to start the lesson.

Seeing that it was almost time for class, four fat and thin men appeared at the entrance of Class S.

They looked through the window and confirmed that Mark was present. Then, they entered the classroom.

The tall and thin student who had nearly been killed by Mark last time pointed at him and said, “You’re finally here!”

Then, he threw a white glove at Mark’s face.

Taking the glove and glancing at it, Mark turned to look at the tall, thin man and asked seriously, “Do you want to fight me normally or duel to the death?”

“Of course I want a death duel!”

“In order to prove that you are trash, I, Johnny, will once again announce that I will fight you to the death!”

With that, everyone in Class S exploded. Someone from another class had actually come here to find trouble.

Their first thought was whether these people had a screw loose. Then, they looked at Mark and felt his powerful aura. These people prepared to watch the show.

After accepting the challenge, Mark stood up like a gentleman and raised the white glove in his hand to announce, “For honor! I’ll bet my life on this duel!”

After hearing Mark, Johnny led the three people away from Class S.

Arnold, who walked over from afar, could not help but cover his face. He did not expect that someone would find trouble with Mark.

In his eyes, Mark’s dangerous aura was the first he had seen in so many years!

The last student with such an aura had appeared decades ago.

As a teacher, Arnold Rex had no right to interfere in this battle, because it was a battle of honor!

The only thing he could do was walk to Mark’s side and whisper in his ear, “Fight while ensuring your own safety!”

“Also, please show mercy to him!”

“This is my request as a teacher!”

Hearing this, Mark bent down and very politely bowed to Arnold before sitting down quietly.

Since coming to this academy, the teachers Mark had encountered had always been kind and guided the students. All of them were very patient.

Therefore, he secretly made up his mind to not cause any bloodshed in the academy as long as possible.

Today’s lesson was very simple. They simply explained the information that was sent previously and answered some questions from the students.

Before the class ended, they wrote all about the long journey of the academy on the blackboard.

A week later, the academy would organize all the new students and second-year students to go to the mountains in the west of the city of Portland to engage in a medium-sized beast tide defensive battle.

This defensive battle would be held as a competition of points. The total points of the class and the total points of the individual would be considered for different rewards.

Moreover, the highest reward for this defense battle was a very light inner armor.

This armor was as thin as paper, but its defense was abnormally astonishing. The cost of creating it was also abnormally high.

After hearing this, Mark’s eyes lit up. He was instantly interested in this defensive battle.

After all, to buy such excellent armor, it would cost at least 10 platinum coins!

One platinum coin was equivalent to 1,000 gold coins!
