I Just want a Peaceful life

[1st Circle - Spark]. A small electric current shot towards Princess Jayna at fast speed. She feels like being tased and makes her body a little bit numb.

Using this opportunity, Ian launches a barrage of attacks at Jayna. Still feeling numb all over her body from the previous attack, Jayna could only parry all his attack.

After a series of clashes, Jayna flares up her mana and easing the numbness in her body. Then, she launches a counter-attack [Fire punch].

Looking at the familiar incoming skill, Ian could only dodge it as he already experienced the power of Jayna's [Fire punch] many times before.

Still, Ian dodging skill is like child play compared to Angus. Jayna already used to try catching up with Angus. So, she could easily predict Ian's next movement. After the first dodge, Ian gets punched in his gut and flown away.

Because she is not holding back, Ian immediately got a knockout after landing on the ground far away. 

After defeating Ian, "Hmph.. commoner like you should know your place." said Princess Jayna proudly

Then, she immediately leaves while feeling a little bit frustrated at the battle. Although she won, she also almost lost at the battle. She didn't expect Ian to learn lightning elemental spells and got caught out of the guard by it.

She knows that Ian has an affinity with water since he often used water spells before. Now, he could also use lightning spells and cast them rapidly during the battle. This means Ian has a dual elemental affinity. This shows the greatness of Ian talent. 

Meanwhile, She feels like her strength is stagnated after all the training she has done. She feels that Ian could catch up with her anytime.

Lightning elemental is one of the elementals that could cause high destructive damage. But, it is also hard to control and have high mana usage. Still, it is quite destructive and effective in combat than other elemental.

Frustrated by this, she could only walk silently back inside the dorm. She could only meditate and try forming her mana core to increase her strength further.

'*Sigh* I need to calm my mind first.' thought Jayna.

Looking at Angus ignoring her battle just now, she begins to feel more frustrated and hurried her foot to go inside the dorm. Otherwise, she will lose her mind.

Meanwhile, Angus is still sleeping peacefully but he is also looking at the battle silently. He is also surprised that Ian has dual affinity since it is quite rare.

Even he only has one elemental affinity. If it is not because of his superb mana control and high intelligence, he will have a hard time using other elemental spells.

As a body control freak, Angus always prioritizes control over anything. This way he could easily change the mana nature to any kind of element like having a high affinity with it.

With enough control, he could manipulate his mana into anything he wanted as long as he knows about it. This is also one of the reasons he always prioritizes control.

Unfortunately, the majority of the people in the Heart kingdom only has an affinity with fire elements. So, he rarely meets another elemental combatant besides having fire affinity.

'Looks like I will start to 'beat' Ian from now to get a book skill from him.'

After all these years, Angus found that book skills not only contain information about the respective skill/spell but also the person's understanding of elements.

Each different person has a different understanding of element and their skill/spell. At first, he hardly perceived this as his brain could not process all this small information.

After his intelligence passed 20 marks, not only he could perceive this but also he felt like practising the spell as the book owner did. Although it is still kind of blurry, he feels he will need more intelligence to grasp this.

Fortunately, he still does not get a book skill other than from a student at this academy. Otherwise, his brain will be fried from experiencing all this stuff. The book skill could also drop from the same system as the opponent improves in real life.

Angus feels like stealing their technique but he knows that this may come in handy in this chaotic world.

This is also the reason why he is always increasing his intelligence every month, despite now he almost has a photographic memory skill. 

At the 15 marks intelligence, he could ace all his academic courses easily. Now his intelligence is at 30 which is double than before. It almost makes him have something like photographic memory, a faster-thinking process, and precise multitasking skill.

If it is an academy in his past life, he will get the first rank easily. However, in Royal Academy, they ranked the student heavily based on combat capability.

During these two years, Angus just showed his power to be barely enough to pass the test exam. Fortunately, the examination is easy like one must show skill or spells to the examiner. Then, the examiner will score them based on the student's performance.

For Angus who has almost absolute control over his body and mana, he could easily manipulate his performance to look ordinary or somehow below average in academy standard.

After enjoying the sunset and chatting with Millie who is coming to tend the garden for a while, he goes back to the dorm.

Meanwhile, Angus having his peaceful life at the academy, at the Dark Forest, there is a series of constant explosions from the inner area. *BOOM* *BOOM*

"We finally found it! Begin the chanting!!" Shout an elf that runs towards a group of people..

Then, another elf began chanting while writing a strange symbol on the ground. Not long after that, heard a loud roaring sound. *ROARR*

Like responding with the roar, the thick miasma fog is gathered at one place before moving towards the surrounding like a hurricane that destroys anything.

"Everyone, give it your all. We must hold back! It's a do or die!!" command one of the elves in a haggard appearance.

Without wasting any moment all the gathered people using their respective spell, [3rd Circle - Rock Wall] [3rd Circle - Wall of Thorn] [Enchanting - Endurance]

A huge rock wall appears from the ground along with a series of Thorny plantations. Then, a bluish aura encased the wall and strengthened it. The rock wall withstands the powerful miasma attack. Before they could relieve, A bunch of monsters from all sides attacked them. 

"Give me some time." said Duke Jacob as he chanted his spells.

"Hold them back!! Don't let them pass you!!" Command Sylvan while he charged towards the monster wave.

[Axe Art - Whirlwind]

[Sword Art - Wheeling Slash]

[Bow Art - Scatter Shot]

[Martial Art - Chain Combo]

[3rd Circle - Freezing Blast]

[3rd Circle - Solar Pulse]

*BOMM* *BOMM* A variety of skills and spells launch to the incoming monster and create destruction towards the surrounding. But, monsters keep coming like an endless tide.

"Tch.. I don't have enough mana." said the black person with a horn.

"Hold on a little bit.. Just a little bit of Manatium then Voila." said the small halfling before throwing the bottle on the ground. [Alchemist - Mana Zone Potion]

Abrupt mana immediately gathers into the surrounding people and repels the miasma fog. The people nearby feel that their mana is instantly filled.

"Good Job!!" Said one of the orcs before increasing his killings rate.

"Now is our time to shine." *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* The gremlins assemble something quickly that resembles a magical cannon. [Mechanical Engineering - Plasma Machine Gun]

Then, one of the gremlins uses it to start shooting at the monster wave. "RARARARARARA…" *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* as the machine keep killing all the nearby monster

At this moment, a strange sound was heard from various sides. *GRRT* *ROAR* *FIAAKK*

"Fifth Grade monster.. INCOMING!!" warned of the elf.

A series of root tendril appears on the ground and attacks the people nearby. Another variety of miasma based attack launched at the people and killed some of them. The situation is very chaotic like a warzone. 

"Damn.. How much longer?!" said one of the beastkin after looking at his comrade dying.

"Not long.. Few more minutes." said Sylvan after looking at the nearby friend who kept chanting non-stop.

At this moment, "Everyone falls back!!" said Duke Jacob after finishing his long chant.

Then, he raises his arm to the sky and creates a gigantic size magic circle. After everyone gathered and fell back, without wasting any moment he activated the spells. [6th Circle Spell -  Rain of Fire]

From the gigantic magic circle in the sky appear countless huge fireballs raining down towards the approaching monster. After a while, it leaves a devastating area but the scorched area immediately filled with monsters again. 

Looking at the endless tide of monsters, everyone feels desperation. After casting this spell the duke also falls exhausted.

"My turn!!" said another black-skinned man with a horn. The man makes the same gesture as duke Jacob and makes a gigantic magic circle in the sky [6th Circle Spell -  Thunder Zone]

*ZZZTTZZ* *ZZZTT* *ZZTZZ* The gigantic magic circle produces lightning towards all the monsters in the perimeter and kills all of them leaving the only wasteland nearby. But, once again all the monsters keep coming like an endless tide.

During this moment, the rock walls crumble from behind it appear a gigantic size miasma fog giant.

"Damn.. That is the Monster Overlord."
