Chapter 100

Slyvia was currently still stood outside the inn. It was burning more furiously then before and if the knights didn't do anything about it soon it would start to spread to the other buildings. "Bring more water!" A Knight shouted. The knights Had gathered plenty of water but it simply wasn't enough. They had managed to carry over large containers filled with gallons of water but had no machinery to dispense the water onto the inn. A master knight was strong enough to possibly lift the gallons of containers and jump up just high enough to pour it down but it would take a while longer before they reached the building. "This is getting really out of hand." Slyvia thought to herself. Just then the water out of all the containers started to lift into the air. The water started swirling around as if it was alive, like a snake. "Depanse." A male's voice said. The water quickly flew to the inn and burst, manging to subdue most of the fire. As Slyvia turned around she saw four noblemen standing there with their hands out. Each of them had silver hair and wore blue and white clothing. "Brothers!" Slyvia shouted. Slyvia's four brothers continued to cast magic spells eventually dispelling all the fire. The crowd cheered at the sight of the mages and were impressed at what they had seen. The knights quickly came over to thank them for their help. Once that was all done with the tallest and eldest of the brothers Mathew walked over to Slyvia. "It's been a long time little sister," Mathew said as he rubbed her head. ****** Ray was currently sitting down on a roof of a building not far from the arena. He still had a couple of hours before the event started, so there was no rush. Although he didn't know who was fighting first, everyone was required to come to the arena at the same time. Ray looked at the two skills he had just obtained. The first skill was called mana share. It was a skill that was the complete opposite of mana steal. While mana steal stole the ki and mana from creatures and people, mana share gave it to them. As a dragon sen would often use this skill on his weeker friends or creatures that were dying. The thing was his mana back then was nearly unlimited while right now, Ray didn't have much. Ray thought this skill would be useful, if he wanted to change the human race and fight the shadow plague, then he needed an army and not the current one that was under control of the Alure kingdom. The kingdom was already a mess without them realising it. There was no way to tell who wouldn't betray them and who wouldn't. The Dark guild and Pureblood members were already deeply rooted at the top. What Ray needed was dedicated followers, an army of his own. This skill would prove incredibly useful in the future when needing powerful allies. The second skill he had obtained was Endless void. Just when Ray was struggling to think of where to put his items, the perfect skill came right in front of him. It was as if the system was watching him from above.

Endless void was a separate space that only Ray had access to. Just like the name stated, it was endless. This meant he would be able to store anything he wanted in this space and pull it out when he wanted to. Ray realised that there was a problem with using his second identity Nes. A lot of the public had seen him wearing the armour he had just bought. Which meant while Ray was in the academy, he wouldn't be able to wear the armour. Ray thought the best thing to do would be to get two sets of equipment. One set for Nes where he could be the rich great powerful adventurer who didn't need to hold back or hide his abilities and one set for the student Ray, who was one of the best knights at Avrion academy. After obtaining these two skills though, Ray thought back to the connections between all these events. What made the system say "Task complete."? All of them had one thing in common. Ray had saved a human life. Ray, of course, wasn't sure about this theory but it was the only thing that made sense so far. The current two skills he had obtained had nothing to do with fighting magical beasts. But there were a few things that were troubling him. The first time he had unlocked a skill, he saved Gary and Amy in the forest. If he had saved two people back then why didn't he receive two skills? There was also the time he had defeated the minotaur, he had protected Gary, Monk and Jasmine yet only received one skill. Ray looked back at all the events that led him to learn skills and when he shouldn't have. Gary with the black wolf, The old man with the Dark guild, Jasmine and the others with the minotaur, Jack with the pureblood members and the two kids from the fire. If the system truly gave him a skill every time, he saved a life then he should have got one for Amy with the wolf, Gary when he thought against Monk, two more skills against the minotaur and when he fought against pureblood with Gary. Then it hit him, perhaps the system only granted a skill for every life you had saved and didn't count it if it was multiple times. Gary had already been saved when he was younger, so he no longer got any skills from it. With the other incidents that weren't related to Gary, Ray had a theory about those too. While fighting the minotaur Monk was the least injured out of all of them. Maybe Monk's life wasn't saved that day but only Jasmines. Of course, right now these were all theories running through his head. Ray wanted to test this theory as soon as possible. If it was true, finally he would be closer to getting his powers back. The problem was it wasn't like someone was in a near-death situation every day that Ray could stop. He would just have to wait until the next opportunity to come up. To see if it was true.
