Chapter 94: The new beggining (1/2)

Wearing her tracksuit, Ice jogged early in the morning. Sealing herself inside the underground channel, she felt her body turn stiff.

Last night she had to write a 5 pages long report. It was about how the rift appears in that area. It was because that time she was in seclusion for her advancement. At first, she was able to guide the medicine to her mana output then directly to her mana source which was the Hollow Cell.

Then something happened after — that endangered her life. A massive amount of mana ironically burst out from her Hollow Cell. She didn't expect that her advancement would lead to a sudden increase in mana. A dense and massive amount of mana bursts out and almost ruptures her mana outputs.

In order to ascertain her safety, she released the mana from her body by letting it flow outside, through every pore of her body. Because of this, the mana scattered all over the place. Then it causes a ripple in the space. It was followed by the formation of the rift.

Ice gaped seeing it, it was a very low chance that such a rift would occur. Yet it happened in front of her.

Ice immediately used her ice mirror skill to cover the entrance in order to avoid monsters or any kind of hostile creatures to pass through from it, if ever there is.

But not only that, but she also felt another presence baring an enormous pressure that was trying to take advantage of the ripples, it was the demon.

Unfortunately though for the demon, when he invaded, the rift had been covered by an ice mirror already. It was a high-level magic spell for sealing.

However, Ice knew that it wasn't enough to entangle the demon. So she decided to borrow a spellbook from the library to use it as the medium.

Before she left the underground channel, she used a super high-level spell to assure that the excess mana would not overflow to the outside of that room.

It was also the reason why the room was covered with ice crystals.

And that's what happened at that time. But Ice didn't write it in the report. And she didn't tell about the hidden body of the demon inside the rift for personal reasons.

Maybe because of the hype that everyone was feeling at the moment, but no one asked her about it or even mentioned it. Later she would sell the demon's body secretly. Ice couldn't help getting excited at how much money she would receive from it.

”Hehehe.” She giggled.

Actually, she felt more exhausted in writing a report than sealing that demon for three months.

She wondered if those oldmen loved bullying their lonely beautiful ace in the academy.

Around the city, in every corner, she noticed the pictures of the mysterious black magician were being posted. No one knew who he was. But he was a handsome guy, Although, his face was a little similar to that fledgling trainee. However, this black magician was a very handsome guy and that person although not ugly, wasn't as handsome as the black magician. Maybe because he was so thin.

She also noticed that the picture had a message saying, ”Mr. Black Magician, the city officials hereby announced to reward you for your successive help in protecting the city from the attackers in the recent events. Each of the officials wishes to speak with you, kind sir. And thus, you are given a 2% commission reward from the labyrinth income together with some promising youth. In addition to that, on the following date mm/dd/yyyy, we would like to grant a medal of appreciation to you, kind sir. But if you don't want to reveal your identity, please at least leave your Cyber Wallet account or any contact number. So that we can send your money to your account. Or you could also contact one of these ID numbers...'' It was followed by lists of ID numbers.

Such posters were visible in every street corner of the city.

She was kind of curious as to who this magician was. ”He really made a name for himself. But what's the need in hiding his identity?” Ice wondered.

In any case, she needed to go to the academy for morning practice. It seemed like, when she was gone, most of the juniors were slacking. And that granny wanted her not to be late in their magic training. Looks like that granny wanted her to meet some promising newbies who she took under her wing.

Ice also was expecting to see that fledgling trainee who defeated the demon.

Some people greeted her when they saw her. Some were cheering at her. And most of the people took a stolen picture of her then showed it off to their friends with them or in their group on social media.

Right now, inside the barracks and academy. There was a poll about who was the most famous person in the academy.

At this moment, many people were excitedly watching the poll. Currently, the most popular person was Ace Miss Ice, followed by Almina Amulet, the mysterious black magician, the loli elite girl, Kiko Sun, and then Maena and Rui-Rui. Mercenary Ultima slowly gained popularity as well. On the contrary, Yman the Rat Slayer was still the most infamous person.

But everyone was puzzled how he was able to acquire such a high commission. Even though he eventually leached with the girls only. No one really thought that he could help in the fight against the demon.

So many trainees questioning how he achieved such a feat of acquiring a 3 percent commission from the labyrinth. However, the officials did not disclose more information regarding the fight against the demon.

Vortex and his friends were so envious with Ultima. Although he was still currently under quarantine and in the observatory process, his future was so bright. Getting a 1 percent commission from the labyrinth was really a very big deal. Perhaps at this moment, many businessmen are already offering to buy this 1 percent commission from him. Actually not only him, but even Maena and Almina were also getting a call from left to right. Asking if they wanted to sell their commissions to them with a huge price and resources.

Maena couldn't believe what was happening. She didn't expect that just by going with Almina Amulet and that gloomy person, she would receive such huge benefits.

In any case, now is the day that she and Almina Amulet could go back to the training grounds.

Actually, she not only received a huge benefit financially. She also received an invitation to be trained personally under Elder Paan. Together with Almina Amulet and a junior trainee. This makes her more excited. But actually, Maena wanted to go to the more advanced academy like Zone 1. Now she wasn't sure of herself.

But before that, she wanted to see that guy. I - It's not because she was concerned about him or whatsoever.
