Zevien and Vernisia finished at 1 in the morning after ordering their custom-made magic armors. It cost them 4000 Gaia credits each, a whopping amount because they decided to get tier-3 custom armors.

They spent an hour selecting and drawing the armor type and design they wanted.

Afterward, they returned to the academy via a flying ship from the flying ship station of the town and went to their abode before sleeping since they would need to wake up early.

…

At 5:30 in the morning,

“All students! Line up outside on the ground in the next thirty minutes!”

A thundering sound reverberated, waking the students who were still sleeping and reminding students that were ready.

After twenty-five minutes, everyone was outside.

The bulky man with a bare upper body showing explosive muscles was waiting for everyone to come out, and after seeing everyone present in twenty-five minutes, he nodded. “I am Headteacher Dunlax. According to the schedule, you were supposed to go to the magic occupation class, but that’s currently delayed. You will attend it tomorrow instead.”

The students were surprised and wondered what new plans the academy had for them.

“Today, we are going to a small magic eruption spot that appeared three hours ago in the northwest, 20 kilometers away. The magic beasts that erupted from it are not that strong, so it’s a perfect training ground for you students.

“Think of it as a competition because you can exchange beast cores you collect into points and use those points to buy anything from a temporary special shop we will open for you students. That special shop has everything!” Dunlax said before he grinned at the end. “You can also buy magic crystals!”

*Woah!*

The students were startled and then got excited!

“Alright, follow me to the ship station! Our big ship is getting ready there!” Dunlax said as he flew away while all students followed on foot.

“Holy shit, bro! We are going to do this!” Dan said as he grinned. “I am gonna buy magic crystals and nothing else.”

“Let’s see who collects the most points,” Tigger smiled with excitement as he grabbed Kerolin’s hands.

“It looks like your confidence increased after the Magician Growth Boost, huh?” Erica rolled her eyes. “Don’t forget that we are your seniors in that regard.”

“But not weaker, hehe,” Kerolin chuckled.

“I won’t hold back in the slightest,” Zevien said as his eyes lit up fiercely. “We are kinda in a pinch right now, so I need to become a 4th class magician in the next thirty days.”

“Haha. Not that hard, honestly,” Dan laughed. “We are already close to 1000 magic power since we got magic crystals from dungeons. So we just need to get some magic crystals from here and hit the 1500 magic power limit.”

“I will come with you in your 2nd magic labyrinth again. Don’t expect me to listen to you regarding that,” Vernisia said firmly as she grabbed Zevien’s hand.

“Woah, Woah, are you two in some trouble in the magic labyrinth or what?” Dan asked as their conversation surprised him.

Erica, Kerolin, and Tigger were also curious.

“Don’t exclude us, y’all,” Roman snorted as he, Hemil, Jacky, and Leena arrived.

Jacky and Leena greeted the group while Hemil’s downcast gaze lit up as he narrowed his eyes. “We have a new member,” he said while looking at Kerolin.

“Wait, didn’t you have a male partner? What is going on? Why do you have a girl partner now?” Hemil questioned as he looked at Tigger enviously. “No girl accepted me despite my gentle personality and handsome, pale face.”

Roman just sighed and didn’t even bother getting angry. If Hemil was not strong, he wouldn’t have teamed up with him.

Tigger and Kerolin wryly smiled and shook their heads. They knew Hemil since the academy, so they were familiar with him.

While talking and laughing, they reached the station and hopped onto the biggest flying ship as instructed by Headteacher Dunlax.

…

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the magic eruption spot.

All students looked down from the ship curiously, as most of them had never seen a magic eruption spot before.

On the ground was a lush forest with a big river flowing north from its center. Magic Beasts were roaming everywhere in this vast forest. There was a giant vertical portal-shaped thing in that forest, but it was not slim. It was thick, like an egg.

“Can you see that egg-like thing with a portal-ish structure if you look from one side? That thing indicates a magic eruption spot. When that thing appears, it covers a certain area where the magic beasts spawn from anywhere in the affected area. They spawn out of the air, from a pond, from a tree. All in all, they will suddenly pop out,” Dunlax explained.

The students nodded, and they could even see the area affected by the magic eruption spot because the affected forest was glowing with blue motes. Everything in the affected area was exuding ethereal blue motes.

“The entire area exuding these motes is your battlefield! Kill magic beasts, take their beast cores, and gather them until you are fully exhausted. Then you can come back, recover on the ship, and go back again until this magic eruption spot disappears,” Dunlax thundered.

“So this activity officially starts, right?” Zevien asked Headteacher Dunlax with a smile.

“Yeah, I’ll descend the ship now and let it stay in that river in the middle of the forest,” Dunlax said as he contacted the control room of the ship with a device similar to walkie talky.

“We’ll be leaving now if you don’t mind,” Vernisia said with a smile as she summoned Lyn on the deck before she and Zevien sat down behind it.

“Hahaha, no problem! Those who can fly can jump out and start right away! Clear those flying magic beasts!”

*Neighh!!*

Vernisia commanded Lyn as they flew out of the ship and descended. Other students who could fly also left the ship.

While going downwards on Lyn, Zevien took out a blood vial and poured all the blood of it inside his magic eidos body. This blood was not vampire blood but Frigid Eagle’s blood, a 2nd-grade magic beast. He couldn’t expose vampire wings here, as people who had seen Alucard could easily recognize the vampire wings.

“Let’s start the hunt,” Zevien grinned as he produced beautiful dark blue feathered wings and jumped off from Lyn with Crimson Wind Boomerang in his hand.

Vernisia also took out a whip as both of them flew towards separate flying magic beasts!

*Crack!*

*Boom!*
