Chapter 182 - Lifespan (1/2)
Evan had slept for days after yesterday's battle. He wasn't wounded or mentally exhausted, but using two sigils at once took a lot of energy out of him. His body was not yet capable of sustaining such a thing without a corresponding recoil.
Evan woke up because a loud knock on the door awakened him. If not for that, Evan would have slept for at least a few more hours.
”What the fuck...who is that?” Evan muttered grudgingly and headed for the door. He had no idea who needed him this early, and Draven would have unlikely bothered him, and Evan had no other variants which it could be.
When the young man opened the door he saw a girl with red hair, oddly enough it was Olivia.
Evan looked at her, puzzled. He didn't know what she wanted, in his opinion, they had already decided everything in the arena.
Seeing Evan's confused face, Olivia frowned and said: ”I owe you something.”
She pulled out a card depicting a bright blue moon and held out her hand forward. Just then, Evan remembered that Olivia owed him 5,000 ”Moon Coins” since she had lost their duel. She was disappointed in her defeat, but she couldn't help but keep her promise.
Evan nodded, and a card appeared in his hands. Olivia quickly transferred the correct amount, and her debt was paid.
The young man put the card into the spatial ring and said sleepily: ”Don't have to come again.” Then he closed the door.
But no sooner had he taken a step than there was another knock at the door. Evan reluctantly opened it and said: ”What do you want?”
He wanted to sleep, but Olivia didn't leave him alone. This girl was beginning to annoy him.
”I've wanted to ask you, what was that spell you used against me the other day? I don't know any such spells of the zero rank. Did your teacher teach it to you?” Olivia immediately flooded Evan with various questions.
”The spell...? It was taught to me by... my teacher when I was still living in Mossy Vulture.”
Evan answered calmly. Initially, he'd wanted to say that it was a spell taught to him by Draven, but then he realized that would not be the best idea. Draven hadn't taught him anything, and that would be an inconsistency that could get him in trouble.
”I see, you're really lucky that your teacher knew such a powerful spell. Without it, you would have had a hard time beating me!” Olivia said loudly and walked away.
Evan rolled his eyes and went back to his room. Even though his dream had been interrupted, Evan was about to continue it.
It's worth noting that Olivia hadn't yet noticed that Evan had reached the ”One-Pointed Star.” Evan wasn't emitting his aura, and there was no reason for the girl to use the ”Eye of Truth.” She wouldn't have believed Evan could reach that level so quickly.
It had only been a little over a month since Evan had entered the Academy, and he could already be considered a student of the first rank. Of course, a magician could get stronger without the Academy. It only accelerated the process. Evan could only advance so quickly because he'd quickly received a lot of ”Moon Coins” and got into a lot of deadly situations.
