Cherreads

Chapter 11 - Danger in every corner.

"I would run if I were you. Call me professor in class by the way if you are still attending after tonight." Professor Spark said looking over her shoulder before vanishing with a strike of lightning that blinded the surroundings.

"Hey that was the signal for an intruder"

"That sound came from over there!"

"Hey someone's broken into the school grounds by the library."

"That was Professor Sparks Magic!"

All these voices from all over seem to be heading my way. I tried to stand up still wobbly from getting electrocuted I fell back to the floor. Day one and this already seems to be the end for me. I'm sure to get expelled after this.

*******

"Very kind of you to spare that boy some serious damages you favor him don't you"

"I'm just curious to see if he has potential to be an ancient magic user and helpful to me or if his path stops here." Professor Spark said looking up at the sky. A dark portal opened up on the school roof and the hooded man disappeared leaving her to her thoughts alone.

Let's see what you do now. Professor Spark wondered peering over the edge smiling and watching the chaos unfold on the ground. 

*******

I guess this is how I get taken out. I need to start taking this academy more seriously. There's got to be something I can do.

Scan of strong opponent complete would you like to evolve skill to next tier?

What the heck is going on. Why would it even need to ask. I'll take all the help I can get right now.

Scan Tier D —> Scan Tier C

New information available.

I dragged myself to the back door of the library willing to try again and hope for a different result.

Alright. Let's see what we can figure out now from this code. It's either I get inside, or I end up taken in and tossed back into my boring life. Jesse was regretting sneaking out more than ever.

[it's still a lock]

[magic level high]

[wrong entry will cause a spell to activate]

[code: 2079]

 

Alright I got it!

I input the code, the door slid open, and I crawled forward inside. Hearing the door lock back and click behind me I laid down and took a breather. Checking my stats.

 

[Name: Jesse]

[Lvl 2]

[Exp: 5/100]

[Title: Near Death Human]

[Gender: Male]

[Age: 19]

[Strength: 10]

[Speed: 8]

[Mana: 6/10]

[lightning resistance: 3%]

[Magic Points: 1]

 

[skill points: 3]

[skill points can be used to upgrade your attributes and body]

 

I think I'm just going to rest here for a few minutes. I didn't even know I could get power like this. The 3% resistance to lightning is almost as amazing as gaining experience by getting beat up what a joke.

"Where'd the intruder go?"

Jesse could hear teachers as well as what sounded like a few students searching outside for him. 

"Everyone split up check the school and find out why professor spark sounded the alarm!"

It finally started to quiet down but Jesse knew still the danger present. Glancing around the room for anything useful it was too dark, and nothing could be seen.

If I get caught this could definitely get me expelled after just getting here.

Jesse crawled closer to the nearest bookshelf and leaned up against it, slowly getting the feeling back in his legs.

Jesse could hear footsteps coming closer and closer to where he was. Jesse peaked around the corner and could see a teacher looking around and under tables.

 

[general education teacher]

[no magic learned so even you could deal with them]

[weakness: pressure points on shoulders]

[loves tiramisu]

 

A weakness? I slowly began to lift myself up until I was standing and slowly crept up behind the unsuspecting teacher

Jesse made sure to be as silent as possible while taking the teacher by surprise and pressing his fingers down as hard as he could into their shoulder blades in the softest spot his spell told him from earlier. Feeling his fingers squish down past the bones and further in.

The teacher let out a low squeal before stumbling over to a table and falling on the floor passing out.

He searched the pockets of the teacher but couldn't find anything useful.

My arm started lighting up and that's when the bracelet started forming around my wrist with a green screen. At the same time the teacher's wrist lit up as well with a red screen.

Due to your special spell a new option has become available to you.

[would you like to steal magic points]

 

Jesse had a wide grin across his face.
