2022-06-04 08:22:31Dam Son sat on a participant’s bench near the stage to regain his depleted stamina. “Suit I’m thirsty.” As he spoke, a small Noun Script slipped out of the opening of Dam Son’s sapphire suitcase which transformed into a large bottle of fragrant water.
“Ahh! That hit the spot.” Dam Son wiped away some trickling droplets from his lips then exuded a low belch. Glancing around, Dam Son realized something. “Hey, Papyrus there aren’t that many participants left in Block-C.”
“Well, the administrators stop accepting new applicants a while back since it is getting closer to dusk. That’s why there are fewer people. Most of who you see here have already won more than one battle. Just one lost and all of their efforts will be wasted.”
“I disagree with you Papyrus, I’ve learnt so much from these previous bouts.”
“Of course, you would say that. You are a newborn after all.”
As Dam Son continued conversing with his floating Papyrus, the referee hopped on stage then called out the next combatants. “We’re nearing the end of our admission matches for the day. As such, all participants of Block-C will mostly face elimination. I advise that you bring your best leg forward. For the next match, Applicant-600 and Applicant-620 please come up.”
“Huh, Applicant-600?” Dam Son thought of something as he searched his eyes around the crowd of remaining participants. “Isn’t Applicant-600 that Demi-Human girl?” shortly after gazing around, Dam Son identified his imperious opponent climbing atop the stage. “That’s her! The Demi-Human with the mysterious gourd and whip of numbers.”
“It’s Cinder Burn! She’s finally getting her chance again after waiting so long. And look who she is up against. That Dark-Human with the stupid name.” The spectators started gossiping among themselves.
“He’s dead meat for sure. Cinder Burn is going to eat his rocky ass up.”
“I don’t know. That Dark-Human seems competent enough to hold his own in a match.”
“Stop talking gibberish! There is no way Cinder Burn is going to lose to that little maggot when her enrolment hangs in the balance. All she needs is one more victory to get into Raixom Academy.”
“I suppose you do have a point. Let’s just watch and see what happens.”
“Yes, yes. Let’s not assume too much too early. Wait until the match begins.”
Both participants made it on stage. While the spirited referee was reiterating the rules, Dam Son was meticulously analysing his formidable opponent.
“This Demi-Human girl is dangerous. Based on her previous matches, she ended them all with one strike. I bet she thinks she can do the same with me. Just that look of hauteur in her eyes says as much. One thing is for certain if I allow her to attack first then I’m done for. I will have to utilize everything at my disposal to defeat her swiftly.” He smirked.
“Huh?” Cinder Burn noticed a smile resting on Dam Son’s dried lips which prompted her to raise a brow in disgust. ‘Is that Dark-Human excited to face me? Fhm, pathetic whelp. I will destroy him spectacularly just like the others who came against me.’
In truth, Dam Son wasn’t smirking because he was excited but mostly because he was anxious. As proof of this, his hand which gripped the handle of his sapphire suitcase was shaking slightly.
The referee standing in the middle of the combatants glanced at them to see if they were ready then slashed his hand downwards. “Begin!”
Dam Son dashed forth like a raging tyrant. The referee who usually vanished right after he commenced the matches didn’t get the chance to disappear before Dam Son made his move. “Papyrus I’m going in!”
“Right!”
[Basic Word Fu Script: Smash] (Activated) -5(MAPL)
“Suit, go forward!” Instead of his created Avatar, Dam Son applied the Smash Script to his sapphire suitcase as he slapped it towards Cinder Burn’s character with vehement force.
“Tsk. Pathetic brat.” Cinder Burn thought that she could easily smack away Dam Son’s frontal assault with her pinkie. Hence why she didn’t motion to dodge the incoming sapphire suitcase any time soon. “An incompetent Word Fu pretending to be a Word Augmenter? How disgusting. I will teach him not to imitate a professional Word Augmenter… huh?”
Dam Son unleashed the bulky surface of his sapphire suitcase on Cinder Burn’s arrogant mien. Its heavy density coupled with the streaking blue effects of the Smash Script transformed Suit into a deadly force to be reckoned with.
“How?” Before she knew it, Cinder Burn got smashed several metres away. She was well past the boundaries of the stage. When she finally stopped moving was after she crashed into the judges’ panel. The onlookers were incredulous after witnessing this shocking scenery.
“We… We have a winner!” The referee came late with his announcement because he too was flabbergasted that Cinder Burn, the star prodigy of Block-C was obliterated so easily by an unknown entity.
“I… I won?” Even Dam Son disbelieved how powerful his strike had been at first. “I won! I really won! Amazing! Suit you’re a badass you know that? If it weren’t for you I wouldn’t have won so easily. Yea! Yea!” Dam Son was blazing on stage, letting everyone in the audience know of his unbridled excitement.
“How? How did this happen?” Cinder Burn who had just picked her dirty behind up from the ground refused to believe that she had lost to a rocky entity. “He must have cheated somehow. There is no way that someone of my calibre would be defeated so miserably. I demand a rematch! Do you hear me? I demand a rematch!” She started behaving like an angry lunatic while pointing her unsheathe Whip of Numbers at Dam Son.
“Calm down Applicant-600! The match is already over.” The judges had to hold back Cinder Burn from doing something reckless. “You can always try again in the admission matches tomorrow. If you continue behaving so disorderly we will have no other choice but to revoke your application. Do you hear me?”
“AAAH!” Cinder Burn let loose a violent shout at Dam Son before storming out of the Mystic Arena with her livid complex polluting the air.
“Huh? What’s her problem?” Dam Son didn’t understand why his defeated opponent was so upset until Papyrus educated him.
“That girl is what we commonly call a sore loser. She was so arrogant up till the point when you gave her a swift spanking.”
“Oh. So she’s upset about losing to me?”
“That’s right. You did great out there.” Papyrus gave Dam Son a shoulder bump of praise.

Chapter 60 - Getting Kidnapped
After a hard day of training, Dam Son, Xuan Li and Sugar Bun washed their bodies clean inside Jin Hennessy’s soothing onsen. This was the first time he had ever allowed them to bathe there, this meant he was beginning to warm up to them despite his abrasive demeanour.Finished washing up, the students got dressed then prepare to leave for the Tower of Residence. Coming down the flight of stairs protruding the mountainside, Dam Son conversed with his companions about the perks of their training. Eventually, their conversation shifted to something else.“Did you guys hear about the new arcade that recently opened up in the adjoining complex of the Page Coliseum?”“I knew that long before you did, turtle.”“This is the first time I’m hearing about it.” Dam Son was clueless. “What is an arcade?”Sugar Bun answered. “It’s a cool place that has lots of fun games to play. Recently it has turned into the new hotspot for bored students. A fellow classmate told me that the arcade has imported u
Chapter 59 - Under Suspicion
On his way outside the laboratory, Dam Son walked by a dark-robed stranger who glanced at him menacingly. “Ouch, my head.” He felt a slight pain emerging from his forehead but it subsided the moment he went by the dark-robed man.“Hmm…” The dark-robed man stopped at the laboratory’s entrance to stare back at Dam Son’s fading presence. Looking down at the Blue Kismet Coin in his palm, he thought internally, ‘Did my coin just react out of impulse just now or…?’ Not lingering too much on what he felt earlier, the dark-robed man entered the laboratory.“Huh?” Turning his head to identify the intrusive presence, Vor Eyes recognized who it belonged to, “Brother your back? One of these days you’re going to give me a heart attack if you continue sneaking up on me like that.”Getting straight to the point, Tor Eyes asked his little brother, “Who was that kid I saw coming out just now?”“Oh, that’s the friend I spoke to you about last night, remember?”“Friend? Is he a classmate of yours?”“No,
Chapter 58 - 90% Purity!
Finished aligning the refined Mundane Letters in their respective chambers, Vor Eyes step aside so that Dam Son could admire their beauty. “So, what do you think about the refinement procedure, wasn’t it fun?”“Indeed it was. Watching you go to work like that was even better to look at. I can’t imagine how long it must have taken you to get so good at refining Mundane Cores.”Vor Eyes blushed, “It didn’t take me that long to learn. How about you Dam Son, want to try? I have more Mundane Cores chilling in the refrigerator.”Dam Son pondered Vor Eyes' offer for a while before he answered, “You bet I would. I came here with that reason in mind after all.”“Okay!” Vor Eyes became excited to instruct his new friend. “I’m going to go grab another one from the refrigerator. You can get settled around the desk until I get back.”“Alright.” Dam Son motioned closer towards the workbench. As he was about to sit down, his sapphire suitcase became all tingly. “Suit, what’s the matter?” It responde
Chapter 57 - Refining Mundane Cores
Vor Eyes workstation had a particular beauty to it that impressed Dam Son. It wasn’t that big but it had enough space to accommodate certain essential equipment needed for Wordsmiths to flourish. By the main desk was an array of newly developed booklets seamlessly intertwined with a series of portable Arcane Baths. Many thick tubes connected to these booklets ran directly into a larger immovable Arcane Bath located in the centre of the workstation. That was where the finished creation would usually emerge.As he began the process of walking Dam Son through the refining of Raw Mundane Letters, Vor Eyes elaborated on the various tools, tips & trades he would be utilizing. He went over to a storage cabinet where Raw Mundane Letters were being refrigerated. “This is what they actually look like before processing.”“Wow, interesting. I’ve never seen one this close up before.” After Vor Eyes brought the Raw Mundane Letter closer, Dam Son admired it closely. It was comprised of a spherical g
Chapter 56 - Making A new Friend
The fiery rock monster no longer terrorised Raixom Academy’s central hub due to the combined efforts of 4 valiant students. Later that night, Dam Son along with the rest of his classmates were all released from Raixom Academy Campus Station after being subjected to a series of questioning. The head of the guards was an intimidating individual who knew how to squeeze the correct answers from those he interrogated. This being Vor Eyes' first offence, they allowed him to walk with a proper warning.“Guys, you’re finally out.” Coming outside, Dam Son and the others who were previously held captive saw Sugar Bun and Trish waiting for them at the entrance. “What took you all so long?”“Cut the chitchat Trish. We’re heading back.” Cinder Burn led the way for her crew. Together, the Leaf Widows journeyed to the Tower of Residence.Sugar Bun went over to Xuan Li and asked, “So, how did it go inside?”“Tsk, they asked us a bunch of annoying questions. It’s a good thing you didn’t join us earlie
Chapter 55 - Subduing The Monstrously Failed Experiment
The fiery rock monster that was wreaking havoc on the central marketplace became more vicious in its onslaught. Aside from spitting molten rocks everywhere, it fed on the earth’s surface by combining with the rocky properties to increase its size. Now it was towering over 50 metres long.“Rock Fan, stop it! You’re destroying my place of study!” A concerned stubby boy sporting 4 sets of monocles on his face came rushing towards the fiery rock monster with a particular device in his hand that hosted a portable Arcane Bath. He constantly tapped the moist interface, trying to get his invention to respond.“No! No! No! It’s not responding. The link must have gotten cut off somehow.” The boy looked worried. “What should I do? If the campus guards get here before I can stop Rock Fan’s malfunctioning behaviour then they will destroy its core. I can’t allow that to happen.” The boy couldn’t wait for his invention to be obliterated. He decided to take matters into his own hands to curtail the d
