Chapter 74: 74: Beaten Up

After testing the Sky Thorn for a while, Angus tends his broken wrist using his healing art. His healing speed has increased more than before since he formed his mana core. 

Not only has his healing art proficiency increased, but his natural healing has also increased. Although the difference is not much since he has quite high vitality. 

But, this is also something to take note of for him since it means the higher the grade people have, they also have higher endurance and vitality.

Done healing with the wrist, "Old man, I need to train my body." said Angus casually.

"Ahh.. Yes. since you already formed your mana core, your body physical limit will also increase a little bit. Well, you are already a monster to reach your physical limit despite not reaching the age of puberty."

"Others take years, probably their entire life but you just made it in a few years." grumbled the old dwarf.

"Yeah-Yeah.. You already said that many times before." replied Angus while changing to exercise clothes.

Angus speed growth could only be achieved by using his system. Otherwise, it will take years as Balrug said. But, Angus would never share this secret with anyone as it will create more trouble later. The Idle System is his biggest secret that he will never share with anyone.

"Shut up brat, that means you are the abnormal one!!" rebuked Balrug

Before Angus put the mana restriction mana, "Oh yeah, you should not wear those things for a while." said Balrug.

"Ehh.. what do you mean?" asked Angus confusedly.

"I presume you just formed your mana core, right? This means your mana core is still in a growth period. You should not restrict your mana for a while as it will inhibit its growth. If it is just a moment, it will not be a problem."

"But, if it is for a long period it will inhibit your mana core growth and potential. Since you are from a high noble, I believe your mana core is not an ordinary one. So, you should take care of it carefully." explained Balrug.

"I see… then, how do we process the training?" asked Angus.

"Hahaha… Simple, just exhaust your mana from sparring and get beaten like usual." said Balrug as he took his hammer.

Then, without any hesitation he hit Angus. *Bang*

"Damn, Old man. You are a high-grade combatant. How could you sneak attack on me?" said Angus while defending himself.

He managed to put up his guard using Sky Thorn before parrying the hammer. Still, this attack managed to make him fly back for a few meters.

"Ohh… As expected of my masterpiece, it could withstand this kind of attack. Brat, let's see if you could use Sky Thorn properly?" as Balrug once again attacks Angus.

Because of the difference in strength and speed, Angus could only passively take a beating while coating both his body and Sky Thorn with mana. 

Although Angus thrust in Sky Thorn durability, he still preferred to enhance it further using his mana especially while receiving the ridiculous attack from Balrug.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* after clashing for a few dozen times, "Hahaha… this reminds me of the first time we clashed with each other. Your control over mana and weapon is still superb no matter how many times I see it." commented Balrug while hitting harder.

Angus was already precarious and full of concentration to parrying Balrug's attack. Balrug way of fighting is different from his father as he is more leaning towards the warrior path. Unlike magicians who could be called glass cannons, Warrior path is strong at close combat.

Because of this, Angus couldn't escape despite already using [Beast Walk] a few times. Every time he ran away, Balrug could catch up with him immediately.

The harsh beating continued until Angus exhausted his mana. Then, Balrug began to beat Angus again with less power to temper his body.

By the time they did through this torture session, Angus already in black and blue haggard condition.

'Damn.. It is just me or the old man becomes harsher when he beats me.' as Angus lay on the ground exhausted.

"Crazy old man, hold back a little bit. You almost kill me in the last clash." said Angus.

"Hahaha… Don't be a pussy. You still survive anyway." reply Balrug while checking the Sky Thorn condition after their previous bout.

"It seems it is still in good condition despite receiving my attacks. Alright, get up brat. Here's your weapon. You sure don't want to tone down its firepower?" asked Balrug while handing Sky Thorn.

"Nope.. I will manage it somehow later. I even want you to increase its firepower." replied Angus while struggling to get up.

After taking a few hours break and healing his wound, Angus went back to his dorm to rest. Even though he could heal his internal wound and has high stamina, he still needs to rest his mental fatigue after using all his all during the spar.

In a high-speed battle like this, every movement must be precise otherwise Angus will get knocked out a long time ago. The reason he could follow up Balrug beating for hours is because of his mental strength and tenacity.

Although he still didn't fully control his body since it was still adapting, if he put his mind into it, he could control his body and keep up with Balrug. The only downside is that it is more exhausting for him mentally.

Returning to his dorm, Angus immediately takes a bath before laying on his comfy bed to sleep. He didn't have time for dinner or doing his manual battle since he was truly exhausted.

All this year, Angus didn't grind his soul points through manual battle like a maniac. Sometimes when he is truly exhausted like right now or in a lazy mood, he will not even do it.

The next morning Angus wakes early like usual. After doing his morning routine, he goes to his class waiting for the others to come.

After waiting for a while, the other student finally coming. At this moment, Jayna keeps looking at him. She seems to want to talk about something but struggles to talk first to Angus.

As for Angus himself, he lay on his desk pretending to sleep like usual. A moment later, Teacher Elis finally arrive.

"Alright everyone, today we have practical combat training like usual. Before that, I will give you a form for your combat path selection. Starting from the next term, your class will be rearranged according to your combat path."

"I already explained each of the combat paths a few weeks ago. But, if you still have some questions, you could ask me during the class or when I have free time. Now, hurry up, change to exercise clothes and meet me at the training ground."

After they get changed and come to the training ground, "Today, we will have a sparring one with each other. Also, Angus, I hear from the headmaster you could back join in the practical exercise. 

"I don't know what reason you have before but you could not give me an excuse like a stomach ache or something similar." said Teacher Elis in a chilling tone.

'Urgg… Damn it, why father didn't tell me that before.' thought Angus while he kept nodding with his teacher.

After sparring with Angus and inquiring about the berserk state Angus has, Duke Jacob feels that Angus is in complete control over this state. 

Although there is some uncertainty but hearing that Angus could handle it, Jacob didn't have any choice but trust his son.

Since there are five students, they will make one of the students sparring twice. Unfortunately for Angus, Jayna as the strongest in the class is chosen to be this student to fight twice. Furthermore, Angus as the weakest will fight her in the first battle.

At this time, Angus found that Jayna is not as lively as usual. Looking at the worried expression towards him, Angus could guess the reason. Jayna is still feeling sorry and afraid to hurt Angus when he is just recovering from his sickness.

"Alright, Jayna and Angus come forward. Like usual…" teacher Elis begin to explain some rules.

During this time, Jayna is still in trouble about what to do.

'Calm down, Jayna. This is only sparring. But, what if I hurt Angus more after he recovered from his sickness.' thought Angus while feeling more confused at what to do.

During this time, "Teacher, Don't you think this match is unnecessary. Everyone knows that Jayna is violent *Ehem* I mean strong. this will be not a sparring but a bully." said Angus lazily.

"Angus, I don't care about any of your excuses. Besides, you could learn.. Bla.. Bla.. Bla.." lectured teacher Elis.

Hearing Angus comment, 'V-Violent??! Did he just say I am violent?!! Angus, you are dead!  You are so dead!!' Cursed Jayna inwardly while glaring at Angus.

Looking at Jayna glaring, Angus could only smirk a little bit. 

'What an easy gullible girl.' thought Angus

"Alright, then let's not waste any more time. Both of you ready?" asked Teacher Elis.

Receiving the nod from both students, "Start!"
