BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 1.4.5
The thing about individual training rooms is that they have a high concentration on mana. The reason for this is that many cores power the rooms. But because they are powered like this it also means that they are incredibly expensive. That\'s the reason there is only a certain amount and why there is a monopoly.
Everyone wants to use the individual rooms so it\'s a battle between the students for who gets to use them.
Now that I had my skill complete and there was no one to stop me I was free to take full advantage of the gift I\'d been given.
Sitting down on the floor in the middle of the room I took a meditative stance. Once I felt comfortable I took a deep breath and held it in for a full minute. Then I slowly and carefully let it out.
After doing so a couple of times I looked down at my watch to check my progress.
[Magic +0.005]
Satisfied with the results I returned to my exercise and waited for the inevitable conflict that was soon to come.
.
Ranking 83rd, Oscar was seated in the second row listening to Mrs. Fischer and what would be needed for the dungeon. Oscar was usually half-assed in class but he especially paid more attention in her class. Not for the usual reason though. Unlike the other kids who want to learn how to survive dangerous and unknown lands, Oscar didn\'t have these worries.
Humanity is often grouped into four sets. The first is swordsmen. As the name describes swordsmen are people who use swords. They are nimble, well-trained soldiers who lead attacks. The second group is warriors. These are more often than not big burry people who wield axes. They charge in the front lines and cause big destruction. Their sole purpose is to cause chaos. The third group is archers. Although they are called archers not every one of the people who fall into this group uses a bow the majority however do. Some use crossbows, daggers, launch spears, and just anyone who attacks from range. The fourth and final group is the broadest, most powerful, battle-orienting mages. It hasn\'t been officially recognized but people know that there are two categories of mages. In reality, there should be five groups but nobody seems to welcome the change. The first set of mages is the battle type. These are referred to as casters. They are the ones who deal the most damage out of the entire group. They are the ones that cast fireballs and rain fire, or drown by flooding, and freeze in ice. Most casters can\'t cast too many spells as they quickly become exhausted, however just one spell can change the outcome of a war. The second part of mages is called supporters. These are the ones who hide in the back and stay out of the confrontation. Their role is to provide support for the troops by using buffs. Some also can debuff enemies but these mages are quite rare.
Oscar was one of these support mages. There were many others like Oscar in Griffin but he stood out the most because of his special debuff. It allowed him to completely divide someone\'s attack prowess by 50% and the most overpowered part of it was there was no limit on the number of people he could affect. If it was an army of a billion each and every enemy would only be able to release half of their total attacking power.
Although this seems too good to be true, Oscar has a fatal flaw. One weakness that would ruin him if it got out. Luckily no one besides his family knows about it. That\'s the reason Oscar was able to get so high in the ranking. No matter who he is teamed up with they have a 100 percent win rate if Oscar is on their team. Not even Elijah was able to defeat Oscar.
Thus, the reason Oscar wasn\'t all that concerned with the dungeon was because of two reasons. Firstly he was confident in his own abilities and the abilities of his peers. The second was the support mages were always in the back out of harm\'s way. Oscar wouldn\'t have any troubles and could hide in the back while providing buff and debuffs.
So without having any worries on his mind the one and the only reason he continued to come to the dungeon safety class was because of how hot Mrs. Fischer was. Deep down Oscar knew he never had a chance but he would constantly express his love and was even more obsessed than Liam.
Oscar would get turned down by Mrs. Fischer practically every day but he still refused to give up.
While zoning out and ogling the teacher Oscar was both shocked and surprised to see someone walk past him.
This was extremely unusual for someone to leave the class and that was especially so in Mrs. Fischer\'s class.
Turning his boredom into interest Oscar watched the kid walk down the remaining rows and arrive in front of the teacher.
Although Oscar was unable to hear what was spoken he could grasp that it was an insult.
Mrs. Fischer didn\'t seem to react but the boy ended up leaving the classroom anyway. This left a sour taste in Oscar\'s mouth. He desperately wanted to ask what the kid said but he restrained himself.
He knew that Mrs. Fischer wouldn\'t care if someone left but Oscar believed that she was just too kind to take any action. With these thoughts in his mind, he memorized the face of the kid who belittled his crush. He would deal out the punishment that Mrs. Fischer was unable to do.
With his mind made up, he went back to watching her sway back and forth between the class and the smart board.
Oscar lost track of time while watching her and nothing she said stuck to his mind and the bell eventually rang.
Disappointed that he wouldn\'t be able to see her till the next day, Oscar went up to Mrs. Fischer to do his ritual.
"Hello, Mrs. Fischer! A wonderful class as always though it\'s a shame not everyone thinks that way."
Mrs. Fischer, having already expected Oscar to come up to her, didn\'t even have to turn to look at him before answering.
"Thank you, Oscar, but it\'s up to each person to discover what they deem important and if they have other responsibilities then it\'s not my place to force them. Plus if I did that they would be more inclined to purposely discard anything I say. So as long as just one person can take away what I said and learn from it, all my effort would have been worth it."
Seeming her overflowing kindness Oscar\'s theory that she was unable to punish students became a solid belief.
"Don\'t you worry Mrs. Fischer I\'ll make sure that the student who left will be back next class!"
Hearing Oscar\'s enthusiasm Mrs. Fischer turned to him and gave him a bright smile.
"That is very noble of you but just make sure you don\'t push him. The last thing I would want is for him to despise me."
Seeing this as a way to earn Mrs. Fischer\'s favor Oscar vowed then and there to bring the kid back to class no matter what it took.
"I understand! You can count on me!"
"Great, now you should hurry along or you will be late for your next class."
Annoyed that he would have to cut his conversation short with Mrs. Fischer, Oscar began to think of as many excuses he could muster to stay with her a couple of minutes more.
"Ah, but I don\'t have any more classes today, just training. I can be a little late to it, I\'ll just have to work extra hard!"
After saying this he flexed his muscles to prove a point.
"Haha, I\'m glad that you enjoy my company but this time I have to leave early. My husband and I will be going out to eat. He managed to reserve a spot at a famous restaurant. We\'ve been waiting for this day for months so you will have to excuse me."
Having finished packing up all her supplies Mrs. Fischer left the room but not before telling Oscar to go and train.
"Make sure you are in your best condition for next week when we go to the dungeon!"
Then with a wave goodbye, she left Oscar there with his mind overflowing with thoughts.
He was wishing that Mr. Fischer would drop dead or randomly have a heart attack or pass away in his sleep or even explode. Anything would work so long as he could get a chance at being with Mrs. Fischer.
But then when she mentioned that they would be going to the dungeon all those dark thoughts were replaced. He wasn\'t paying all that much attention but he recalled hearing about a dungeon. So if what Mrs. Fischer had just said was true the two of them would get to be together.
In addition due to Oscar being a supporter, he could stay in the back where the teachers would probably be. He figured that they would stay behind everyone to keep an eye out and if he was correct he might be able to get some alone time with her.
Overjoyed with these thoughts he raced off toward the training room a bit late.
