Nordic was a bit surprised to read the notification that he got the latest sub quest. Even though he was just sitting in his dorm room bed. What should he do?

[MAGE QUEST AND SUB QUEST]

[Pinalty: Within 24 hours, your Mana Points will decrease drastically. If your Mana Points are 0, then you will not be able to use any skills and repeat collecting points to the maximum limit]

While reading the writing on the holographic light screen in front of his face, Nordic only frowned. It took him a split second to understand the meaning of all these sentences.

In the very bottom right corner of the hologram beam screen, there is an inscription:

[If you don't understand, tap the available help icon]

So Nordic pressed the [?] button on the location. Then the screen display of the hologram light faded for a few moments before reappearing with a new explanatory text.

[PROFESSOR OF MAGIC ROOM]

[This room is located on the north side of the Soul Sojourn building. All residents of the Soul Stop call this room as hidden gems because they are almost invisible. But you can find it in the middle of the wall sandwiched between two pillars]

After reading the instructions for the magic professor's room, Nordic sighed softly. Nordic still doesn't know where the room is, why was he asked to come there?

It's the first day the Nordics have come to Sojourn of the Souls. How did he find that room?

"What does it matter if I don't get the potion? It's important it seems." Nordic let out a rough breath out of annoyance.

His whole body was limp now because of the drowning incident and meeting the siren. Moreover, Nordic had a fight with one of the centaurs—and it felt like he used a lot of strength because he couldn't control himself.

Nordic wanted to ignore sub quest notifications on this hologram system. So, he immediately prepared to lay down.

A pair of Nordic eyes stared at the ceiling of his room. Why did he feel uneasy after reading the 'Penalty' description in his sub quest?

With MP or Mana Point which totaled 65 out of 100, his body already felt as if it was unable to exert any power. What if he gets weaker when he wakes up tomorrow?

The Nordics are really unsettled. Because of that, he hissed in annoyance and got up again and changed his position to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Jeez. I didn't know that sub quest would bother me," grumbled Nordic.

In the end the Nordics had no other choice. He needed to carry out the sub quests given by the system. The longer his body became more and more uncomfortable because his energy was decreasing.

But wait… if he couldn't explain the system in his brain to anyone, what was the Nordic reason for asking for a potion?

In the northern part of the Soul House building, the wall is sandwiched between two pillars.

Nordic found the entrance to the magic professor's room according to the system's instructions. But he couldn't even do anything. Just silent staring at a blank wall ... which has no doorknob at all!

How did the Nordics get in like this?!

“Huft…” Nordic breathed out as his body went limp. "Argh, why is everything here making me feel crazy?! What world is this anyway?!"

silence. The wind blew against the skin of Nordic cheeks, as if mocking him.

No one heard what he said. Meaning, the Nordics can't ask anyone for help.

"I should have approached Eglar earlier," muttered Nordic grunts.

Nordic walked to the pillar wall and leaned against it. The direction of his gaze did not move from the blank wall which according to the system explanation was the entrance to the magic professor's room.

"System, how are you going to explain this to me?" Nordic said to the system in his brain.

At first there was no answer. Then suddenly a holographic light radiated in front of his face, causing him to jerk backwards spontaneously.

"You surprised me!" Nordic said annoyed to the holographic beam.

[Ding!]

[Do you need any help?]

[If so, then you can focus your gaze on a single point of the object that makes you curious. The system will automatically process the information and answer your confusion]

After reading the explanatory sentence on the holographic beam, Nordic was forced to do as he was asked. For a few seconds he focused his eyes on the wall.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of the holographic beam changed.

[Information Processing System...]

[5, 4, 3, 2, 1... Information Found!]

[SPACE INFORMATION]

{THE ENTRY OF THE MAGIC PROFESSOR'S ROOM}

{There aren't many ways to open the door of the magic professor's room. The only way is you need to use whatever magic you can recite. If you have a magic intermediary tool—example; gemstones, stick them on the wall while chanting.}

Just this?

The Nordics are really pissed off. If it was only information like this, how could he understand?

"Fine. I had expected that this system wouldn't provide any useful information." Nordic grumbled as he straightened up.

Nordic immediately walked to the front of the wall while taking out a gemstone. Nor did Nordic actually feel confident that he could recite the incantations either. On the other hand, what are you going to use?

Stretching his neck muscles, Nordic prepared to recite the spell he had memorized during the fight. The gemstone in his hand was pinned to the wall.

After a split second the Nordic fell silent. He gathers focus while remembering spells when he fights with centaur creatures.

Suddenly something flashed through his mind.

"Maperilia Agnèsto!"

There was no reaction whatsoever. Nordic remained in position, waiting for the wall to open or not.

"MAPERILIA AGNÈSTO!" 

When Nordic thought this wall couldn't work with the magic spell he was chanting, suddenly the door wall of the magic professor's room shook softly. There were lines of cracks appearing, from faint to clear, running from top to bottom.

Then as the crack widened, the exposed wall shifted to the right. Nordic waited for a moment while watching the movement of the wall in front of him.

Until finally the wall opened more and more widened. Shows the view in the room.

Nordic were stunned. However....

'DUARRR!!'

What is this?
