Infinite Mana in the Mage Academy

Chapter 66 1 - Rio Hen



Weakest Hunter.

Rio has always been stuck with this title wherever he goes.

Rio was weak, how much he worked hard, he never improved.

If he even fights with an F-rank monster, he barely wins.

Of course, he is an F-rank hunter with more strength than a normal human.

He also has two skills [Slash] and [Sword Blast]

While both skills required a sword, Rio was lucky enough to get these skills.

But since he is an F-rank hunter, even these skills are weak, and he couldn't use sword blast unless it is an emergency, since as the name of the skill, it explodes the sword, his only weapon.

And today...

"AaaaaaaH!!!"

Rio screamed as he charged at the F-rank monster, Mutated Tortoise.

With its hard shell, Rio's sword could only scratch it and deliver no damage. However, as the mutate tortoise rotated, its tail hit its stomach of Rio making him fly away.

He landed on the ground deadbeat. Blood dripped from his lips but he stood staggeringly.

"Again!"

He again attacked the tortoise, but again tortoise was blocked hiding inside its shell. How much it looked, the tortoise was stronger than Rio despite being only an F-rank monster.

This was because mutated tortoise strength is low while its defense is high. An F-rank hunter could easily beat it as long as they cut its neck.

Destroying the shell is hard and it is also not profitable since hunters sell the shell and earn money.

Rio jumped back, gasping for breath. He frowned.

"Am I that weak that I could not even beat this little shit quickly?!!"

Rio cursed himself and charged at the tortoise again, however, expect of attacking he jumped on the shell of the tortoise and held it tightly.

Feeling burdened on its shell, the tortoise rotated trying to shake off Rio.

However Rio didn't shake off, he even clutch the shell tightly.

After managing himself, Rio raised his left hand and hit the shell hardly.

But his strength wasn't enough not to even left a crack on it. Rio's left hand turned red, but he didn't give up and hit the shell repeatedly.

Even though the shell didn't break up, the tortoise got shook by the force from the vibration of the shell. It let out its head from the shell and it was at that moment that the tortoise knew, it fucked up.

Rio grasped the tortoise's head and strangled it. It immediately tried to put its head inside the shell. But despite getting force from the shell on his hand, Rio still strangled the tortoise enduring the pain.

The tortoise rotated even harder and tried its best to get rid of the clutch of Rio's hand, but how much it tried, all its work went in vain.

And finally, the tortoise started feeling dizzy from the lack of oxygen, and slowly by slowly it stopped its movement.

And after a moment, the tortoise head hanged and no vitality was felt from its body.

Rio sighed and took a deep breath. He looked at his hand which seemed to have slightly broken.

"I need to get it fixed again."

He sighed and looked at his area. Three tortoises were dead and their corpse was left on the ground.

Pieces of iron were scattered on the ground. Some marks of the sword were left on the neck of one tortoise, while one tortoise's head was black, probably died from the burn.

"Phew! Now that's 300 Sunstar dollars."

Rio smiled dimly. He walked toward the tortoise, their size was somewhat smaller than that of humans.

And their strength was weak, even the tail didn't give much damage to Rio.

After analyzing the tortoise, he took out his Hunter Card and swiped the card over the tortoise's body.

The convenient Hunter Card had the function to teleport the corpse of the monster to the hunter association and directly give money to the hunters.

The money is registered in the card and one can use it however they want.

It was convenient and easy, it only took some dollars for its service. But compared to taking the heavy corpse oneself, it was easier to just swipe the card over monster's body.

But, it can't teleport alive creatures.

Rio looked at his card intensely.

[Rio Hen]

[Hunter Rank: F]

[Money: 450]

[Free Service from Hunter Association

-Transportation

-Free Medical Service

-Free Building entry]

Rio nodded his head after looking at the amount he got.

He left the F-rank dungeon [Tortoise Town]. As he step out of the dungeon, hustling and bustling of people greeted him.

Since not only there were F-rank dungeons here, E and D rank dungeons were also suited just side by side.

Gate that looked like a door was the entrance that leads to the dungeon. It may look weird, but people have got used to it.

Varieties of shops such as potion shops, equipment shops, armor shops, skill shops, etc were doing their business outside the dungeon entrance.

It looked like a market here. Scenery of hunters wearing advanced combat suits, flying guns hovering above them at the size of a tennis ball, and some poor hunters carrying an enhanced sword on their backs was common. It looked both advanced and primitive.

However, Rio had nothing to do with these. He looked at the horde of people. But he shook his head and look at his watch.

The watch was white. But the brownish tint has covered the silverish watch. Just from a glance, one could say, the watch was worn out.

But Rio didn't change his watch. It was also given by the Hunter Association. It was one-time contract, and it was stated Hunter Association will provide basic necessity items to the Rookie Hunters.

Those hunters who have just joined the association.

And Rio had joined the association 5 years ago, so the watch is also five years old.

[Time: 3: 05 pm]

[2180 - 12 - 30]

[Apps]

[Call]

[Message]

...

With time and date, the other three options were given. It was an advanced watch.

Just as Rio clicked on the [Message], a vertical blue holographic window appeared above the watch's glass.

Only 2 message was with their time as on the window, Allen clicked on the latest one.

[Subject: Bro, I need money]

[Sorry bro. I thought I had enough money to pay off my college fee, but it seems that I lack 200 Sunstar dollars. So, if you could, please send me that much money :D]

It was from his little sister, Shina Hen.

"200 Sunstar dollars? Fortunately, I have earned the money today."

Rio breathe a sigh of relief and transferred 200 Sunstar dollars to his sister without batting an eye.

How much he lacks money, he never cares when it comes to his family.

His little sister wasn't an awakened person, so she could lead a happy life. Rio was just happy that she could live a happy life without risking her life like him.

After doing that, he walked turned off his watch and walked toward the bus stop.

"Haah! Life of a weak is hard."

He mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, his watch flickered. A holographic window suddenly appeared from it automatically.

A horizontal blue line appeared and a ding sound followed. Only Rio heard that sound, he jolted when his watch vibrated.

He looked at his watch and his eyes widen.

"What the hell is this?!"

[Do you want to be strong?]

[(Yes) / (No)]

[Do you want to be strong?]

[(Yes) / (No)]

Rio was dumbstruck. He blinked multiple times. And finally, he thought he should answer the question.

"Of course, I want to be strong!"

He murmured.

[Ding! My Game System has activated!]

'Game System?'

Rio titled his head. Suddenly, his vision became blurry. And felt like something was going to suck his body.

"What?!"

​ He didn't even get to react as his whole world turned dark.

[Ding! Please choose a game]

Just as the blue holographic window appeared, multiple lights turned on.

The spacious place made Rio shocked. He fell into a daze.

A big blue window appeared.

[Cultivation]

[MMORPG]

[RPG]

...

List of genres of games displayed in the window. Rio looked at the display and thought...

'What the hell is this?'

[These are the genres of games. Every genre has one game. As the host will choose the game, the system will teleport the host to the game. More information will be given after the host chooses a game.]

'Genres?'

Cultivation, MMORPG, RPG, Simulation, Tycoon, etc, Rio glanced at them all.

In the end, his only attention went to cultivation.

"System, can I only choose one game to play? And will I get any benefits from playing these games?"

Rio thought. He forcefully gets used to the system. However, there was doubt inside his heart, but he didn't show it for now.

[Ding! Host has to complete the given game. After completing the game, Host can choose another game. As for hose another question, as the host will level up inside these games, the host will gain experience. And you will get stronger.]

'Wha?!'
