Chapter 231 231:Suprise
Accompanied by the deafening roar, a wave of hot mana struck everyone making them flinch back in fear.
Seeing the situation getting out of hand, everyone tried to calm the tense situation.
"Sir, Issac, calm down."
"Please calm down, Sir."
"Anger isn't good for your health."
Issac, who was handling all the responsibilities in the absence of the President, screamed at the people who bowed their heads.
The people standing before him were Professors and Instructors under his wing. All of them had a great influence over the Horizon and came from significant well-defined backgrounds.
All of them were already Issac's men and followed his order resolutely without disobeying because of the authority Issac had outside the campus.
"Sir Issac, it may be because Lucas is seriously injured and may have fallen unconscious. We also tried to look for him but Harris intercepted us."
They have been monitoring the room trying to find an opportunity to salvage his situation but it was of no avail.
Issac's expression was distorted, remembering that red-haired guy with an unusual aura.
'That fucker...I have never liked him from the beginning. He always stays aloof so why the hell is he actively taking part in all these things now?'
"Are rumours about that dog being accepted as Harris' personal disciple true?"
"Nothing is certain, Sir."
BOOM!
The paperweight stone rotating under Issac's hands suddenly shattered into pieces and a fiery aura erupted assaulting everyone.
"You aren't sure if he is in his room. You aren't sure whether he is Harris' disciple, you can't even bring his background data and find his parents so what the hell do you know?!" Issac roared, getting up on his feet and pointing at a group of sullen men.
"You don't know anything so what is the use in keeping you and giving you benefit? If you can't even do the simple job of handling a mere filthy commoner then what you will do when I ask you to deal with someone powerful."
"All you know is eat, sleep and spend money lavishly."
"Use...Useless...each one of you is a useless piece of shit. All of you are trash."
Issac's white face became red as he kept on cursing.
The academy granted leave for everyone after the terrible incident so most of the people left and even if some had their homes far away, at least they had gone out to get some fresh air.
Issac instead of visiting White Castle in the Capital, stayed here preparing to deal with that bastard in case he stepped out; however, that bastard seemed to be holed inside his room.
Since he can't deal with that bastard, he decides to deal with his family but it led to a dead end. He wasn't able to find his family as per the national data.
"I will give you a chance. Do any of you have a way to deal with him or any information that can be useful?"Issac asked sternly.
Beads of sweat formed over the group of professors.
Today, all of them were terrified to the core.
Because they have never seen Issac getting angry like this. He was shrewd and insidious and always kept his emotions in check but something happened in the tournament that infuriated him extremely.
As everyone shrank back in fear, at that time a Second Year Professor named Kelly walked forward.
"Sir Issac, there is a little news about that guy named Lucas. He seemed to be in cooperation with a Third Year student named Linda. She is an alchemist and from the information we have, she is working on multiple potions. Maybe she is trying to develop a potion of their own. However, I assure you that Lucas is cooperating with her as seen from his visits to her."
"Huh!"
Issac's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
"Tell me everything you know."
Kelly nodded and explained everything he knew about this.
"Hmm! I see. An indigenous potion that isn't currently found in the market."
Issac sitting back in his seat, tapped the table a couple of times.
"Did she often use the Academy Laboratory?"
"No, she only uses it for testing." Kelly replied.
"Moreover, I have got some news that this potion will soon be sold in the market. Campaigns had already started and procurement of resources had already begun."
"Good work. It seems not everyone is incompetent." Issac praised Kelly thinking that this guy could be used well.
With a little bit of information, he had already investigated in the background without him having to give others.
This is the type of person he needs.
After a brief moment, a playful smile emerged from Issac's lips and his eyes shone with amusement.
"Even if she used it once, that's enough."
"I have got an idea. You can retreat now."
"It might be troublesome to deal with inhuman means under Julian's eyes but what about legal action? With Julian and Josh's absence, who will support you?"
"I can't kill you but that doesn't mean I can't bite a piece of your flesh."
Issac's restless heart finally calmed down.
Seeing the disappearing back of the group, Issac stared at the ceiling with murderous eyes.
"Four more years..."
"That's the amount of time you have mongrel."
"Once it's over...."
"Hehe!"
.......
Unaware of the sinister plan getting cooked around, Lucas after finishing his job falls asleep for three days inside James' house.
After sleeping like a log for three days without any intervention, Lucas woke up with a slight ache due to staying in bed for a long time.
Fresh turbid air entered his system as he woke up. Yawning lazily, he stretched his hands and rubbed his hazy eyes.
He felt as if he had woken up from a long peaceful slumber making him feel quite refreshed.
Except for slight aches, he was feeling as energetic as a horse.
The moment he opened his eyes, the virtual screen of the system appeared before his eyes with a series of text.
"So the maintenance is over, let's see what changes it has undergone." Lucas crossed his fingers bracing for any bad news as he was informed by Future Lucas about imposing certain restrictions to save the power.
[System Maintenance has been completed.]
[New modifications have been implemented.]
[Congratulations, the host has gained new skills and previous skills have been upgraded.]
[The limit in the rank of your skills is removed, converting it to growth-type skills. Now each of your skills will be as strong as your corresponding rank and its rank will increase as you grow up in strength.]
[Fireball has evolved into Fire Blast.]
[Fire Blast: Allows the user to create a ball of fire with the size being according to the user's wish. The strength and destruction of the fireball cast depends on the amount of mana used by the user.]
[Ice Spikes had evolved into Glaciar Strikes]
[Glacier Spikes: Allows the user to create ice spikes from his mana. The number of spikes depends on the user's mana. The user can manipulate the shape of the ice spikes by spending his mana.]
[Shadow steps have became growth skills and its rank would be synonymous to your realm.]
[You have gained Pseudo Ice Manipulation.]
[Pseudo Ice Manipulation: You can now summon objects of ice of desirable shape and size according to your wish and will.
Note: You can't manipulate the preformed objects and once shot, you can't change their trajectory or speed.]
"Woah! Awesome!'' Lucas screamed in joy and was taken by surprise as he scrolled down.
"There are more."
[You have gained the skill Lightning Eruption.]
[Lightning Eruption: This allows the user to blast his opponents with lightning strikes. At a higher level, the user can summon lightning from the sky and can strike the opponent using the lightning borrowed from a thunderstorm.]
[You have gained the skill Insight.]
[Insight: Allows you to observe a person's identity and stats.]
[Due to excess expenditure of the System's Divine energy, the skills tabs would close until the system detects you're fit for a certain skill.]
[The items tab would be restricted.]
[Note:Don't worry host, you can still buy the previous things shown in the shop under the items tab. New items wouldn't be added until the system recovers its energy.]
[Dimensional plane is unlocked.]
[Dimensional Plane: A space that exists as an independent realm in the system. Unlike other dimensional spaces living beings can enter and exit from here. It exists in another plane and its size increases as the user rank increases.]
[The user can store living objects after reaching 6-Star.]
Lucas' whole body froze with drops of sweat forming over his head.
Raising his hand he pinch himself.
"This is real...For real."
"What the fuck?"
Lucas jumped off his bed with joy but soon cold water poured over him.
[A total of 2,300,000 experience points had been deducted from the stored exp.]
"Fuck!" Lucas cursed seeing 2.3 million experience points.
He had saved around 1 million exp and decided to wait to make it reach 2 million and buy a diamond bloodline potion.
With the kills in the tournament, a large number of exp had been accumulated but the system decided to gobble it up.
Caressing his wounded soul, Lucas suppressed the pain and decided to focus on the benefits to soothe his pain.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter."
"A whole Dimensional Plane that allows me to store living things which also grows in size."
"Doesn't that mean that if I can tame monsters and beasts, then I can stuff them there?"
Tamers can only tame monsters but if you are a Summoner along with a Tamer you can summon a huge horde of monsters but still, the mana restricts you from summoning.
Higher realm monsters would consume higher mana and it's not possible to summon a horde of high-level monsters.
But with this, he doesn't even need to waste mana to summon.
"Let's observe this place first."
From the information he had received, his consciousness could move into the Dimensional plane and in the future he might be able to move his whole body into the plane and use this place to hide or recuperate.
Swoosh!
Soon his vision distorted, and he appeared in a blank place devoid of light.
"This looks creepy. Could I light it up?"
The moment his words fell, the entire world lit up.
"Hmmm! Perhaps, I can change this place with my thoughts."
Lucas closed his eyes, pondering for a moment.
Soon, a bluish oceanic sky appeared above him and green grass beneath his feet.
All of this was a spiritual manifestation of his thoughts. He can create flowers and plants but they are just like a virtual representation.
Upon walking around and observing, Lucas made a rough guess of the amount of space which amounted to 500 sq ft.
Inspecting it to his satisfaction, Lucas exited the space.
On emerging out from the space, a sinister smile formed over his lips.
"I didn't want to take a risk and take part in that suicidal event but now not only can I screw Omen once again, I can also get that artifact to control the monsters and beasts."
"Keke! Things are getting interesting."
As Lucas turned his head, his face was reflected in the mirror.
Witnessing a creepy smile that looked like that of a madman gave him goosebumps.
"Holyshit! I have been influenced by Future Lucas."
