Chapter Eighteen: Level Up

Finally, Kevin had gotten back to his dorm room, as he shut his door, he discovered that the other students are already asleep, including Lexa.

Lexa was sleeping on the vacant bed that was beside Kevin's and Kevin could only think of one thing.

"These two sisters are different from each other. How pleasant would it be if your sister is just as gentle as you are." Kevin thought before slumping into his bed for a night time rest. He's emotionally and mentally drained, but a long night sleep would make him feel better.

While he was still waiting for sleep to come, Kevin recalled Lina placing an envelope into his pocket, and he had hurriedly brought it out to check what was written in it. But because it was already dark and Kevin was feeling a bit sleepy, he returned it back into the pocket of his uniform and then went back to bed.

Thinking of what other things he need to do, Kevin recalled that the system had given him a quest while he was almost kidnapped, and then he quickly checked to see if he had any messages.

< You have unread messages >

'Yeah, I know.' Kevin smiled as he knew it was probably the rewards he received from the quest given to him. If there was something he would use to remember Lina, that would be her, saving him tonight and also granting him a quick completion to his quest.

< Congratulations, you have completed the quest >

< Quest Reward: 50 Exp >

< Exp: 140/100 >

< Level up! Do you wish you evolve to the next level? >

'What do you expect, yes.' Kevin replied and the system beeped twice in approval.

< Evolution will now begin >

Xin could feel a little bit of pain inside of him but it didn't take a few minutes that it had stopped.

< Congratulations, you are a now level two Triling >

'Thanks, but can you explain what Triling means??' Kevin asked but there was no one to answer him.

< Exp: 40/200 >

< New magic has been unlocked >

< Lightning Magic, level 1>

< Two new skills has been unlocked >

< Lightning bolt: [The User will be able to send a bolt of lightning towards the opponent he wishes to attack, the lightning bolt can travel at a distance of 500 metres] >

 Kevin was amazed when he saw the new skills that he was given had an indication, explaining how it could be used. The system was really surprising him. Now he knew he have a magic but the only thing that is left is how to use it. It was nighttime and it won't be good if he practice his magic in the room. He might wake someone up.

< Lightning Cloak: The user is able to encase himself and another person into a cloak of lightning, thereby preventing others from seeing you. Note: You can encase up to three other people in your lightning Cloak >

This seems nice to Kevin, he's surely going to try everything out tomorrow. Thanks to Lina once again, he was able to level up and gain these rewards.

Kevin yawned as he stared at the other informations that the system was showing him. He had a lot of stuffs to do tomorrow, he needs to test out his new powers and he also needs to find out a way of getting more stronger. As he thought of places he needed to go, sleep started creeping in and before he could even realize it, he had already slept off.

The next he opened his eyes, it was early in the morning, an alarm had sounded, waking all the students up to prepare for the day. Although, there wasn't much to do for this week. Classes begins next week, so students were allowed to do as they wish for this week.

After everyone in Kevin's room had gotten dressed up, they started discussing where each would be going and everyone started talking.

"I'll be heading for the weapon hall, Reed and I saw a lot of weapons there and we planned to borrow some of it to fight." Zoe said.

"What about you Lexa?" Dan suddenly popped out the question.

"Err, I don't have anywhere in mind to go to, maybe staying in the room would be better." Lexa answered.

"Well, I'm heading for the school's museum, we could go together, or what do you think Lexa?" Dan pouted out, winking at Lexa playfully.

"Errr.."

"Yeah, you're going with me after breakfast." Dan suddenly replied, not giving Lexa the chance to speak. Lexa could only glance at Dan, giving him a scornful look.

After each of them had said where they would be going, Zoe noticed that Kevin had not said anything yet and he had asked him the question.

"Hey Kev, where are you heading to, for the day?" Zoe asked. 

As if everyone had anticipated to ask him the question, they all stared at him for an answer, making Kevin to chuckle nervously. He cleared his throat before talking.

"Ermm.. Do anyone of you know where I could go if I want to fight using my fist with different students with different fighting skills." He asked, showing a little bit of hope of getting an answer. He had thought that asking them is quite silly, they were brought into the school for the first time and at the same time, could it be possible for them to know about a place where he could go if he wants to fight several opponents. He must also be careful, he's not sure if he can use his newly got magic yet.

"Sure, you can go to the martial arts hall and ask for a spar from any of the students available, as long as there are students available, they will surely accept." Dan said, although he knew most students wouldn't be there as they prefer using their magics than fighting with fists. Between the Magic arts hall and the martial arts hall, the students would prefer going to the magic arts hall than going to the martial arts hall. The probability ratio is about 90/100 : 10/100.

"Is that okay?" Dan asked after a long silence.

"Yeah, sure.. I,.. I'll give it a try and if I can't see anyone, I may head into the library." Kevin blurted out as he noticed Dan's change of behaviour. He was doing this probably because of Lexa.

'He's acting like he is boss over me. What the hell.' Kevin cursed within himself.

The five students then exited their dorm rooms as they headed towards the canteen for breakfast. The canteen was just a few metres walk from where their dorm room was, so it didn't take long for them to get there. But there was an extreme long queue as they got there. Over three hundred students were waiting for their food to be served. And just as the queue was decreasing, more students kept on coming and the queue kept on getting longer.

While Kevin and the other four students approached the queue, six students had suddenly passed by them as they went to the beginning of the queue to drag the ones that were at the front away.
