My Triling System

79 Chapter 79: Giving Quests to wives “A shadow portal?” Jeri asked.

Moving her hands in a circular motion, a portal leading to the gate of the academy was conveyed to them. They could see soldiers that had fought and killed themselves due to the anger spell laying on the ground.

This was the first time Kevin would be seeing Lexa use shadow magic.

“Lexa, how are you able to use shadow magic? I thought your magic was ice?” Kevin asked, surprisingly.

“The thing is, she has two magics just like me, but her second magic is not shadow magic. It’s kinda rare.”

“It is copy magic. I’m able to copy magic from touching people but I don’t know how many I could copy and the duration. But I’m sure the magic is still at the lowest level, I could level up the magic the more I keep on using it.”

‘This is good news, Kevin. You don’t just have two strong wives but their magics are top-notch. Jeri here has fire and shadow magic while Lexa has Ice and this copy magic. You would be able to level up faster as long as you guys fight and defeat beasts and other creatures.’ The System said.

An idea suddenly struck Kevin as he heard the word beast. How about sneaking out of the academy to hunt beast crystals? This is better than killing students all the time. They got lucky that the bloodstone incident happened. They might get caught by someone next time.

Jeri had used her shadow magic to lift the dead elves from the ground and made them pass through the portal to the academy gate. It was obvious that Jeri was so skillful in using shadow magic. Kevin was wondering how long she had the shadow magic and then asked her the question.

.....

“Jeri, since when did you start learning shadow magic?” Kevin asked.

“When I was eight. My mom forced me to learn such difficult magic that no dark creatures were able to learn and I’m thankful for that. Now I’m the strongest shadow magic user to ever exist.” Jeri boasted.

“Oh yeah, are you stronger than me? I have shadow magic too, and you can’t do most of the things I’m doing.” Lexa smirked.

“Hey, that’s not shadow magic, you only had that ability because you copied it from me,” Jeri replied.

“But still, I’ll be stronger than you if I have that magic.”

“Far from it, do you know how many years I spent learning the magic before getting a hand of how it works? I was a strong person from the start but that doesn’t mean I was able to learn the shadow quicker.” Jeri explained.

“What about you Kevin, I know you had lightning magic, but when did you start learning shadow magic,” Lexa asked as the last elf passed through the portal and closed it up.

“Girls, this is a secret. I never learned any of my magics, I just happened to have them.” Kevin said.

“Wow, lucky you,” Jeri replied. “I mean, you are a Triling, so it’s expected. In a book I once read about the past Triling, it was said that he was the best among the other students of the academy. It was said that he knew all the skills and lessons to be taught in the academy before the classes begins. And was undefeated in any match.”

“He must be really strong then,” Lexa commented.

“Yeah.”

Hearing that there was a book with the story of the past Triling, Kevin was more than excited to read it. He would be able to learn about things a Triling could do and the story of the past Triling himself

“Ehm, Jeri can you help me get the book? I need to read the story myself. I didn’t have proper training, perhaps the book might help in some ways.” Kevin requested.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll help you get it.” Jeri replied instantly.

“Then I’ll be giving you a Quest too,” Kevin said and a gentle smile appeared on Jeri’s lips.

“Let the reward be like Lexa’s own.” She said.

Lexa’s eyes made contact with Kevin’s in an instant. She shook her head slightly and Kevin understood what she meant.

To not make Jeri suspect them, he tended to reward Jeri in a way that won’t feel too impartial.

Jeri flashed a smile at Kevin as she saw this. “Is it the same as Lexa’s?” She asked.

“Yeah, sure it is.” Kevin smiled back at her.

His gaze met with Lexa who started mouthing words to him. Kevin thought he could understand what she was saying, so he paid attention to her.

“Did you give her the same reward as mine?” Was what Kevin was able to read from her mouth. He nodded negatively and Lexa heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Heck, this whole idea of being a harem wife is crazy. It’s a good thing I don’t get too jealous. Shit, I’m lying... I’m a jealous freak.’ Lexa thought within herself.

After the whole corpse situation has been taken care of, the students decided to head towards the already assembled students that were outside.

The door of the court was opened and they swiftly went toward the students. They could see it, both the dark and light creatures were assembling. No one cared about the difference in the race anymore, at least for now that they were all shocked at what they did to their fellow students. The light killed his light friend, while the dark murdered his dark siblings. They were in extreme shock. Graham had become as gentle as ever, while Max was as cool as the evening breeze.

Even though the two didn’t kill any of their friends or siblings, they fought each other and had gotten tired and weary.

The schoolmaster started walking towards the podium that was in front of the students as he started with his announcement and speech.
