My Magical System

Chapter 150: Celebration

“For real?”

“He shot it a couple of times without missing a single shot?”

“Is this the same useless person?”

“Dammit, what kind of illusion am I seeing right now?!”

“Eh? No way!”

The crowd voices their astonishments.

Though they were watching him with their own eyes, most of them didn’t know whether to believe or not what their eyes were witnessing.

.....

Even Instructor Stuwart was gawking in disbelief as he was staring in amazement. Using the earth element, this supposedly newly awakened student shot the fruit without a miss. Every hit was on the spot!

WOAAAAHHH!!!

Everyone exclaimed.

Eman was lost in thought. It wasn’t on his plan to gather everyone’s attention to him. However, he forgot and was submerged into this little fun he was feeling.

For the sake of his Finger Bullet ability, he chose to buy the earth elemental skill scroll. It cost 100000 Soul Points as it was beginner-tier only. It’s up to him to master it by continuously using the skill.

Presently, he was molding a hand size earth spike then shot it to the target.

He wasn’t using his Finger Bullet ability as he was doing it because there was a possibility of getting traced from the parliament people if a word that someone with that kind of would-be known in public.

Rather, he was following what the others were doing. He was materializing earth spikes in front of his hand then shot it whenever the target regenerated back.

Beside him was the dumbfounded Faye (Fayatzu). He was mumbling the words, “No way, no way, no way, no way!” repeatedly, like a broken machine. Never would he imagine that the person who awakened lately was the first one who would hit the target.

When Eman noticed something wasn’t right around him, he stopped and looked around. Then saw everyone with a stunning face.

“Eh?”

An utterance escaped from his mouth.

“Deputy sir, how did you do that?”

Seeing their eyes were on him, he laughed wryly, and a bead of sweat molded at the back of his head. All of them were waiting for his reply. Much on that, there was no more hostility from their eyes towards him, just pure surprise.

“Well, I’m good at throwing things.”

“.....”, Everyone was silent for a second before they exclaimed in their minds.

“WHAT KIND OF TALENT IS THAT?!!”

...

Eman and the members of the Merciless clan went to a nearby pub after their training.

Actually, he wasn’t fond of going out with friends from his former world. Especially when he suffered a betrayal from a close friend.

That’s why he tried to say no to their invitation. In fact, he had many other things he needed to do. Yet, Herro was incessantly asking him.

“How about that beautiful attendant of yours? I’m sure she will get angry when you come home late,” Eman said with a grin on his face.

The person he meant was that girl with Herro that time in the market. The maid that Lun Ho tried to abduct.

But Eman was soon surprised when suddenly a courier stopped beside them. Then climbing down from it was a familiar face.

“Yumen!”

Herro called out then glanced at his sworn brother, who was beside him.

“Hello, Mr. Eman.”

Yuman greeted him and everyone else by slightly bowing her head. Eman slightly nodded his head as a reply to her greeting.

The others were looking at Herro with envy. “I wish to have a cute and sexy attendant as well like the leader,” Faye whispered in a volume just enough to be heard by Eman and the others but not with Herro who was two steps away behind them.

In the end, he agreed.

Together with Yumen, they arrived at the nearest pub to the academy.

The pub was a two-story building, and it was built in the middle of two other known establishments in the city.

In front of the pub, the word West Pearl was written in bold letters, and it was located on the upper part of the door.

When they entered, it was crammed with guests. Most of them, if not eating, were drinking.

They glanced at the newly entered group. Seeing that the newcomers were no bigshots, they returned their gaze to the liquor, foods, and some resumed their paused conversations.

There were also some who were sending glances to Yumen from time to time. Eman wondered if it was a good choice to let her tagged with them.

Regardless, most of the guests inside were as young as them. There were slightly older people too and a few elderly, but the majority were academy students.

Eman could only see men inside, and if there were females, it could only be counted with fingers in one hand.

That’s why, after seeing Yumen, some of them were tempted to look again. Those who sent second, third, or fourth glances at Yumen were mostly the youngsters of their age and those who were slightly older.

Perhaps, Yumen was also a noble beauty. Eman believed that if ever she fixed herself a little, her beauty wouldn’t lose to most of the nobles in the empire.

Aside from their outlandish gazes towards Yumen, he also noticed some look of disgust towards him. Probably, they were one of those people who knew him in a bad way.

Though they were looking at him with disgust, the invisible bar above their heads was still in green color. It also meant that their hostility wasn’t to the point that they wanted to kill him. Although it wasn’t that grave, it wasn’t good either.

The first floor was crammed with people, so the group decided to climb on the second floor.

While they were passing in the center, his ears picked a conversation from some people around.

“Right! Up until now, no one knew of the reason why the Redwing clan suddenly decided to disband. On top of it, most of their ex-members remained quiet about it.”

“Ehh, that’s very suspicious.”

“Right?”

Eman didn’t know how popular the Redwing clan was. But based on the gossip that persisted until now, that clan must be fairly popular in the academy.

Regardless,

The group continued to the second floor.

Although the second floor wasn’t as crammed with guests as the first floor, it was still filled with guests.

Fortunately, they saw a vacant table near the window. They immediately settled themselves at that table.

A woman wearing a pub outfit came to ask them for their orders. Herro was the one who gave the order but Fatsu interjected with his order of 5 large slices of rank-B meat from Magical Red Cow. Well, as fat as him, it was understandable that he ordered that many.

Eman remained quiet.

It didn’t take long that the woman came back with their order in her hands. Some even on her arms. It was the talent that was developed through long-time experience.

The atmosphere inside the tavern was contrary to the atmosphere he was used to. Back in his former world, he was the type of person who seldom could be seen going out. Perhaps, he mostly went outside at night.

Right, what was he disliked being in the public? The atmosphere? The people around him? Their noisy conversation?

After leaving the university, he grew more distant from the masses. He felt uneasy whenever their eyes were on him. His mind could not settle. He couldn’t get rid of the feeling that he was the topic of their gossip. Even though he wasn’t, his mind told him that he was.

Because of it, he developed self-consciousness as time went by.

But.

He was different now. He wasn’t the self-conscious he used to be. Right. He was a different person now. And he was surrounded by different people.

While he was contemplating, “Eman bro, here!” He heard a call from the person beside him.

Suddenly, he was sent back to the present. Herro was handing him a plate of meat. Eman wondered why they suddenly urged him to come with them to the pub.

Whenever he tried to ask them, the four people suspiciously diverted the topic on purpose. He decided to let them be and remained quiet. Though he could feel that they were hiding something, it wasn’t to the extent intent of malicious.

Then his nose twitched when the steam from the newly served meat invaded his nose. It was a pleasant smell.

Eman salivated. It was the first time he saw such kind of meat. It was juicy and reddish. When Eman took a bite, it was followed by another.

It was the first time he tasted such delicious food. Well, he lived through noodles and canned foods in his former world. The first time he ate decent food in this world was when he arrived at the former host’s house.

Well, even in his former world, his food wasn’t a decent one. He wondered how he survived those times without any implications on his health.

After eating, Eman was startled slightly startled when Herro and the others cheered and shouted.

“CONGRATULATIONS IN AWAKENING!”

‘So it was about that...’ he thought and smiled.
