I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 21: Age Limitation

Two weeks have passed since Angus's first real fight and kill. During these two weeks nothing major happened.

A few days after the assasination, Princess Jayna is woken up and is transferred to the royal palace for better protection and medication.

As the princess is away, the academy is back to their peaceful life. The tournament resumed and came to an end like it should be.

Unfortunately, other students cannot look at the tournament besides the result. Otherwise, Angus will use this opportunity to open more opponent selection in his system.

Angus's capabilities already surpassed his peers a long time ago. Now, he feels bored and lacks a new opponent in his new manual battle system.

If everyone is not avoiding him, he already gets more opponent selection. Still he also enjoys this peacefulness.

The reason he wants to improve further is because of the intruder. Apparently, his system will unlock and register his/her full power for people that Angus kills.

Noticing this Angus hopes to make the intruder become his battle partner for a while. However, he was surprised to find that the leader of black cloaked men is actually a 4th grade person.

The system calculates Angus only has 37% to defeat such a person in frontal battle. The reason why Angus could kill him before is because Angus launched a preemptive strike without giving the intruder any chance to retaliate.

However, if Angus battles in the frontal battle, he has a lower chance to win, even by utilizing every skill he knows. Angus realizes that he is still weak compared to other people in this world in frontal battle.

Because of this, Angus decides to visit the monster house again. The monster house is the only place where he could open the new opponent in his system.

The last time he went inside the monster house was before the tournament. At that time he only visits the part where they keep the ungraded monster.

From his last observation, he found that he needed to meet the monster a few times while cross check the knowledge he got from the book about the monster's ability to unlock its full power in his manual battle system.

The ungraded monster gives less soul points than Jayna without her possession. So, Angus planned to visit the first grade monster area.

The first grade monster is stronger than the ungraded one. Because of this they keep them in a more secure area.

Usually students need permission from their teacher to enter this area. However, Angus is part of the monster physiology side course. So, he could enter the area as long as he is under the supervision of the staff that maintain the area.

Arriving at the monster house, "Ohh… Angus come to study more about monsters again?" said one of the supervisors of the monster house.

"Yes, Mr. Kyle. Can you show me the way to the first grade area?" Asked Angus politely.

"Sure, I'm also just going to check that area." As Mr. Kyle showed the way.

The monster house is a complex building that is guarded with heavy enchantment. All the intruders or monsters that break free will get lost instantly inside the building because of the constant change from enchantment.

The only way to walk safely inside the building is by having a password rune engraved in their body. This also password rune needs to be renewed every day from the upper echelon of the academy.

It could be said that it will be harder to break free from the monster house than assassinate someone inside the academy.

Soon, after turning and passing many corridors with stairs, Angus arrived at the first grade area. The area is dimly lit with only magic artificial light around the area.

There are rows of big cages all over the area and often hear the sound of a beast roar all the time.

"Alright, I will survey the surroundings. You can check the nearby monster from this side and remember…" [Mr. Kyle]

Before Mr. Kyle completed his sentence, "Don't wander off. Yeah - yeah… Mr. Kyle. You already said that thousand times." interrupt Angus with a playful tone.

"Hahaha… then, I will be off. If something happens just notify me with this badge." Said Mr. Kyle while he gives a guest badge towards Angus.

Catch the badge and see Mr. Kyle already walks into the deeper part, Angus goes towards the nearby cage while taking out his notebook from his space pouch.

Inside the cage there is a big armadillo-like monster with red colored all over its body. Noticing Angus, the monster immediately growls while spouting fire from his mouth towards him.

But the fire stopped by the enchantment cage easily. After a while, the monster gives up to hurt Angus and just stays in the corner of the cage.

"Hmm… Fire Armadillo. It said that it could spout fire like a flamethrower. But, the most dangerous thing about this guy is he could curve into a ball and generate fire around his body."

"Then, it will roll and become a huge bulldozer that could obliterate almost anything in its path after having enough momentum." As Angus read his note about the monster characteristic.

After a while of reading its characteristic in his note, Angus enhanced his vision with mana [Mana Eye]. Angus found a small ball inside the monster heart using this X-ray like vision.

'So, That's the one called mana core.' Thought Angus while also carefully examining the monster under his mana eye.

Mana core is an important thing for people to survive in this world. By having mana core, they could become stronger physically and have more purer mana.

However, not everyone could form mana core. They need tedious training of controlling mana and a large mana pool. The gathering mana inside their heart will form mana core naturally.

Most of the civilian people never form mana core in their life because they didn't have enough mana inside their body.

Forming mana core could still be handled by training controlling mana during the teenage age.

The researcher said that during the teenage age their body is more attuned with mana. Because this is where their body could easily gather mana.

With enough control of mana, they could form their mana core despite not having a large mana pool.

As For Angus, he didn't need to perform all of this tedious task since his own mana had already expanded at large capacity since last time.

Apparently, he underestimated his own breathing technique. If not because his body is still not mature, he may form his own mana core already.

While thinking of this, he checks his own stats.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 8 Years Old

MP: 87/87

Strength: 10

Dexterity: 10

Intelligence: 15

Vitality: 17

Soul Point: 88

The conversion rate doubles after the stats reach 10. Then, it once again doubled the cost after reaching 15. As for his mana, the conversion rate is still the same by 1:1.

He has also already reached a limit to be improved further in the physical part. Only after he grew further, he will improve more in his physical part.

His intelligence also could not be increased further because of his body limitation. He speculated that the strength and dexterity will be stagnant until he grows further.

During these three month times Angus never added any point towards strength and dexterity to keep his body in control.

But, their increase is also stagnant because of his age limitation even after using various secret training.

'Haa… Never know that I hope to grow up faster.' Thought Angus before checking the next monster after his system recorded the monster's strength.
