MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 92: Trip

Although millions of people died in the Academy Domain, the Academy walls itself was bustling with happiness as the student walked around with a smiles on their faces.

The students were able to digest their gains from putting their lives on the line with no place to actually hide or run.

This was one of the advantages of fighting, improving after some battles, and gaining insight into your art skill or techniques.

Which further improves your combat power even if you donʼt increase your mana rank.

This is why battle maniac always improves faster than other people, simply because they bet their lives on the line to get where they actually are.

The students were also able to convert their demon corpse into points, and these were demons, not corpse of beast and monsters so the students got more points.

Even the initial 15 percent which didnʼt improve earlier got some points and they rushed to purhcase resources after seeing the power their classmates displayed during the attack.

Anthonyʼs name had also spread throughout the Academy, many people looked at him with reverence, wondering if they could ever reach that level of power, they had confidence to get to the SS rank like Anthony, but the battle prowess was another matter.

Of course some girls already started making moves and inviting Anthony for lunches but Anthony declined all of them.

He was desperate for a girl doesnʼt mean he was that desperate to accept whatever that comes his way.

Besides none of these girls truly loved him, they only liked him for money and power, he wasnʼt ready to waste his time with fake a relationship, he had a lot of things to do.

Anthony had also received many titles ranging from truly absurd ones to ridiculous ones.

ʼChild of Manaʼ ʼThe Worldʼs hopeʼ ʼDemon Baneʼ ʼInvincibleʼ ʼIce Emperorʼ ʼSword Monarchʼ ʼHeavenʼs illegitimate childʼ.

Of course all these names were just names given to him by his fellow students, not that the world recognised it.

But on the Mana-net he was recognised as the world monster talented in history.

As the buzz about Anthony and the points were ongoing, people were also buzzing about another thing.

The Academy has sponsored a trip to the floating island, a three days trip, while also giving a one week free time.

But the three days trip was included in that one week free period.

The floating island is one of the tourist centres, where a lot of people gathered for sightseeing and spending of money.

And things here were outrageously expensive, SSS rankers could go broke just by buying a single item here.

This is because, the island mostly accepts mana crystals and rarely uses quarks.

And ordinary people hardly came here, so there was simply no need for quarks amongst those who could fight for resources.

The Academy was already paying for this three days trip, which would cost a ridiculous amount of mana crystals because they are sending over seven hundred students on a vacation.

But as an institution that has stood for millions of years, the money spent didnʼt even affect 0.01 percent of their Deanʼs wealth talkless of the Academyʼs wealth itself.

Even the gate or ticket fee to gain access into floating island already detered most poor people and the slightly rich ones.

So those you see on the floating island were truly rich.

Even if you paid for the entrance ticket and donʼt actually buy anything, the hostel cost alone was outrageous.

So no matter what you do or how hard to you try not to spend, the floating island was sure to rip your pockets apart regardless.

Some students converted their points to Mana crystals and quarks so that they could spend.

Although the Academy was sponsoring, and providing food and other payments, it didnʼt mean they would buy them whatever they wanted or pointed at.

Although it was a three days trip, many ladies packed clothes they could wear for a month for reasons the men donʼt understand.

Anthony too didnʼt understand, because women in his former world also did this for reason unknown to men.

Anthony walked to his walk-in closet and just packed a four days worth of clothes and other necessities and he was done.

He already has many mana crystals so anything he didnʼt have he could buy it there, or buy it from the system shop.

As Anthony was done packing, he sat down, he remembered that someone was spying on him during the invasion, he decided to find out who it was.

He immediately activated the Authority Of Information and he could instantly see the world from a birdʼs view and he felt all knowing.

He immediately diverted his attention trying to pry information about the person that spied on him, but everything was foggy as he couldnʼt even see anything as he was too weak right now.

Then he activated the All seeing eyes and tried gazing into the past in other to get more information.

But after activating the All seeing eyes, and tried using itʼs abilities like he did with the one that cursed him when he was a baby, he still failed.

Anthony just sighed and gave up, if he wants to find out he just has to improve his cultivation.

Anthony sighed again and chose to forget about it, although his All seeing eyes was very strong, it wasnʼt at the stage were it could bypass just anyone, especially people with their own skill to counter his eyes or at least contend, example are people like Kevin.

ʼIt seems that man that cursed me was too weak, maybe just at the Master rank thatʼs why i was able to get his information easilyʼ.

Anthony thought as he touched his chin.

Anthony then suddenly frowned and stood up from his seat and went to his door to open it.

Immediately he opened his door, Rider already raised his hand to knock, but stopped since Anthony opened the door.

”Are you going somewhere” Rider asked

”Why are you showing up here more frequently, donʼt you have things to do” Anthony countered with his own question.

ʼGirls should be the ones visiting me, not you muscle for brain menʼ Anthony thought.

”Well, since you arenʼt going anywhere we might as well intrude and chat”

Bringer said as he walked in as usual like he owned the Academy.

They all sat down at the living room together and Anthony served them ten litre of orange juice each.

They were literally Titans so their stomach was really outrageous and could hold that much liquid.

Anthony himself dared not drink such amount.

”So why are you both here” Anthony asked again.

”We just came to see the illegitimate child of the heavens, he might be able to put in a good word for us with the heavens and increase our talents, besides connection is everything, having a connection with child of the heaven is a huge score”

Rider said an amusing yet subtle mocking voice.

Anthony snorted in his mind.

ʼIʼm the child of someone higher than the heavensʼ

Anthony thought in his mind.

[Ding....??? says he has no child, he isnʼt going to pay for any child support]

Anthony ignored it, he was already used to ??? antics, and joblessness.

Anthony then replied to Rider with a smile on his face

”How much are you will to pay in other to have connection with the Son of Heaven”

Rider looked at Anthony amused as he thought.

ʼIsnʼt he taking this role too seriouslyʼ

Then Bringer said as he drank his juice with happiness in his eyes.

”We just came to see if you have 100 heads or something, your display was too shocking during the event”

”You already know I train too much, besides, whatʼs really shocking is that red energy of yours, quiet an interesting and dangerous power if you ask me”

Anthony said as he ate his cherries.

Bringer sighed and explained what that was.

”Thatʼs just a talent I was born it, itʼs an energy, like mana, but unique to only me, I donʼt know what it is, and the entire Titan clan tried to look for any information on it or something related but we found none”

”So I just call it red energy, as I havenʼt named it, so I have myself to learn from only and no one to guide me, besides itʼs quite destructive like you said, so Iʼm always careful when using it”

This was Bringerʼs Talent, called ʼEnergy Manipulationʼ.

Bringer didnʼt know what kind of energy it was or where it came from, but he could always feel the connection to the energy since he was born, and became able to weild it at five years old.

Bringer had tried manipulating other forms of energies but he couldnʼt and could only manipulate the red one he felt connected to.

All his progress on this power depends on him as nobody has this same talent.

This energy isnʼt influenced by mana at all, which is why Bringer was able to weild it at five years old and not ten years old.

So anything limiting Bringerʼs limit on his talent was himself.

But this has given him headaches as he had no clue or reference or anything.

Although other Energy Manipulation talent or skill exist in the world, they werenʼt unique to those particular people as other people possessed the same talent as them.

Anthony was impressed by such talent, what Bringer could do was too many if he utilitied it well.

Then Anthony looked at Rider with a questioning gaze.

Rider as if understanding his gaze, simply shook his head and said.

”I donʼt possess any special talent like my brother, my brother stole it all and left me empty handed”

Bringerʼs lips twitched at his brotherʼs words.
