Clay looked around to see if anyone noticed the orb that had suddenly appeared at the ground.
Thankfully, no one noticed, everyone else was still busy sparring with each other to pay attention to Clay.
Even if the bright light was eye catching, there were many other brighter lights flying all across the training grounds due to the students sparring, hence why no one noticed what Clay did.
Well, even if someone noticed, their attention wouldn't linger for long.
Everyone else more or less had some experience dealing with the system shop, so no one was unfamiliar with an item appearing suddenly under a light.
Clay then picked up the orb, its warmth radiating gently on his palm, then, looking around once more to make sure no one was looking, Clay quickly stored it in his inventory.
'Alright, great fireball obtained, nice. But I'm going to wait till I'm back at the dorms before I crush the skill orb just to be sure nothing unexpected happens.'
Clay was excited at the thought that he would soon be able to cast fireballs like a wizard.
After all, who wouldn't want to shoot fireballs and use magic? Certainly not boys, especially someone like Clay who always daydreamed of being able to use magic.
Now that day has come, once Clay absorbs the skill orb, he would be able to use magic, even if it was just one spell.
Time flew by and Sir Andwelf finally concluded the sparring activity.
"Everyone, gather around, today's class is finished, there are no other classes for today. I've already taken note of everyone's capabilities, you guys are free to do whatever you want for the rest of the day."
Hearing that, the students thanked the instructor and began heading their own ways.
Sir Andwelf stood on the same spot, watching everyone leave, he then glanced shortly at Clay's direction, staring at his retreating figure for a moment as Clay headed back to the dorms.
At the dorms, Clay jumped on his bed and immediately brought out the skill orb that was still emanating heat, and crushed it directly in his hands.
Suddenly, all the energy in the orb expanded violently and got absorbed by Clay.
Ding!
Excitedly, Clay opened the ability description.
|Great Fireball lv.1|
|Conjure a ball of flames with devastating heat and hurl it towards an opponent. Damage scales with mystic and intelligence.|
|Upgrade Requirements: 50 EXP|
[Upgrade?]
[Yes/No]
Clay was tempted to upgrade the ability to level 10, but he held himself back in the end given that he might lose a level if he spends too much experience.
'Let's test this thing out, shall we?'
With a grin, Clay looked around the dorm room, the others still hadn't returned so it should be okay to test it in the room, right?
On second thought, it probably wasn't alright to test it in the room he and the others stayed at.
Clay sighed.
'I guess I should go back to the training grounds? There's definitely enough space to test it there.'
For now however, Clay would do what he originally came here to do, which was to complete the new quest, making a tier 3 map.
Without further ado, Clay brought out the materials from his inventory, 1 sheet of Enchanted Paper, 1 Enchanted Quill, and 1 Enchanted Jar of Ink, double checking that he got them right, he then initiated the prompt.
'Generate map.'
Ding!
Clay then began trying to recall each and every single spot of the academy that he had seen, and thanks to his high intelligence, he recalled every detail as easy as breathing.
"Yes!" Clay pumped his fist into the air, a grin spreading across his face.
Ding!
Before checking the achievement and quest that he had completed, Clay first reached for the map that was in front of him with the intention of inspecting it.
He was quite curious on what new abilities the map would unlock at Tier 3.
Ding!
[Yes/No]
Naturally, Clay clicked on yes.
|Unnamed Map (Tier 3)|
\A Tier 3 map created by Clay Mapa, an advanced mapper in the making, this map can show a first-person view of the Adurep Academy and can enable its user teleport to any area shown in the map, an enhanced search function is also added. /
'Enhanced search function? That's new, what does it do exactly?' Clay pondered on the new feature of the map, eager to test it out.
'Let's name the map first, hmm, how about Adurep Academy map, pretty straightforward.'
Ding!
You have named |Unnamed Map (Tier 3)| to, |Adurep Academy Map (Tier 3)|>
Clay then used the map to test out its effects.
Beep
A familiar screen appeared in front of Clay, this time however, it showed a view of the entire Adurep Academy from the top.
And at the top-right corner of the screen, Clay could see a new icon that looked like a magnifying glass.
Tapping the icon, Clay saw a new system notification appear before him.
Ding!
And following that system notification was a system prompt that had letters and symbols inside little squares appearing within his vision.
Clay furrowed his brows, he was guessing he had to press those little squares that had letters within them?
'Let's see, J, O, S, H, D, A, S, K, T.'
Pressing the letters in that order, Clay then hit enter.
Suddenly, the screen displaying the top view of the Adurep Academy shifted, turning blurry for a moment before returning with another view that had three people walking towards the dorms.
When Clay looked closer, he found out that those three figures were actually Josh, Steve, And Khael!
"Woahhhh! So I can find things easily now? I don't have to check every spot manually?" Clay muttered with amazement.
Clay watched on as Josh and the others were making their ways towards the room.
'Sometimes I feel like a creep doing this...' Clay had a weird expression on his face, his feelings complicated about being able to watch anyone in his maps.
'I still haven't tested the great fireball yet, I'll go greet Josh and the others later once I'm done.'
Clay then found a spot in the training grounds with no people around, quickly teleporting there just in time to not be seen by Josh and the others.
