I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 65: Indecisive

"What could you offer us?" said Vandor

After that, none of the leaders dares to scheme against the elf leader again. At first, some of the leaders thought that they could push the elf race to handle the monster overlord alone by using the investigation team situation.

Some of the greedy ones even want to take advantage of the elf race. However, they truly didn't understand the nature of this long-lived race.

The elf race may seem uninterested in worldly stuff and peace-loving. But, their true nature is like a sleeping dragon. The moment someone touches their reversed scale, they will only create destruction towards the surrounding.

Moreover, their long lifespan made them wisest among the others. In front of them, all the plot and scheme is like child's play. That's why the elf race is never afraid of the other race.

The only race that has a chance to truly threaten the elf race in Firuman is only the demon race. However, they are too divided into many tribes and always in a state of civil war.

Then, the meeting continued without any conclusion. The major reason is that the apathetic behaviour of the elf leader and none of the leaders want to sacrifice their people to fight against the dangerous monster overlord.

Judging by the strength the monster overlord shows by Silvan, it's one of the strong overlords that could annihilate a group of grade five teams easily.

Because of this, most of the leaders don't want to spend high military strength without any significant rewards. Soon, they could only hope that the monster overlord is targeted towards their nation during the attack in the next three years.

While the leaders are still indecisive with their next move, most cities nearby the Dark Forest are destroyed or evacuated. It has become a front line warzone between the monsters and the respective nation army.

Likewise, this is also an opportunity for few people to reap some profit like a lone mercenary, adventurer guild, war merchant and many others.

Meanwhile, the chaotic warzone happens at the border of various countries, Angus still living his life undisturbed inside the academy.

'Huff… It seems my father is okay.' Thought Angus inwardly after reading the letter from his home.

The noble's have their information network which usually brings faster and more accurate news. Few days after recuperation inside the Roundel City, Duke Jacob finally could go home and immediately send a letter to his family about his current condition.

After reading the letter, Angus summoned his status panel.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 10 Years Old

MP: 100/100

Heritage chi: ???

Strength: 20

Dexterity: 20

Intelligence: 30

Vitality: 32

Soul Point: 241

'Hm.. besides the intelligence the other stat is grey out. It seems I will increase my intelligence again.' as Angus increases his intelligence stat by consuming 160 soul points for one point.

Suddenly, Angus feels a little bit dizzy before his mind and body feels weird. He feels his body could not catch up with his thoughts a little bit.

'Urgg… I never get used to this feeling. It seems I need a month to fully synchronize my mind and body this time.' thought Angus while doing a little bit of light stretching.

A month passed by peacefully, Now Angus is entering the manual battle system to fight against Ian in black humanoid version. Angus wants to try to master his mana transformation into a lightning element.

Although he could do it on his own, Ian's insight about the lightning element will also help him train it.

Unfortunately, the manual battle system could not multiply his opponent. So, Angus could not fight dozens of 'Ian' at once. The book skill drop rate is also very low. This makes Angus not get it even after killing 'Ian' for one full month time.

After a few hours of grinding against 'Ian', "Damn… Why does it still not drop the book? Is it because Ian's insight is too low? or maybe there is another prerequisite?"

Thought for a while, Angus decides to leave it for now. Although he likes to improve and strengthen himself, he likes to take it easy and not rush things.

Even though he did not get any book skill, he still didn't worry too much about it. Then, he puts on his heavy enchanted uniform and goes towards the class tournament area.

Today is the class tournament time and it is time for his class. The class tournament happens every three months. It also signifies the half-term time or the final exam time.

Since Princess Jayna could control her emotion through the [Heart of Perseverance], his class always won the class tournament despite Angus didn't do anything.

Now, the class tournament theme is sort of castle defence. Each class will have a flag in their base position. Students need to defend the flags from being taken out.

Each flag is worth a point, the base flag is worth 50 points. If you lose it means you will get minus 50 points. Your opponent flag is worth 25 points. There are also some flags worth 10 points across the area.

The class with the most points will be the winner. This time the class tournament area is the private hills inside the academy.

This is also the same arena for Angus when he joined the class tournament for the first time. Arriving at the arena, everyone was already waiting for him to start the briefing.

"You are late." said Princess Jayna.

"Really?? Well, I just found a black cat on my way and need to find another route…" as Angus gives some excuse to Jayna.

Hearing Angus's unbelievable excuse, "Grr… fine-fine… Let's hurry and get this over."

"Alright, then." replied Angus nonchalantly.

Then, Teacher Elis begins to remind them about the rules. After that, she leaves her class to make their own strategy. Rather than making a strategy, it's more like telling Angus about the strategy.

They already have their strategy meeting before. But, Angus as an apathetic person always never comes or pays attention to it. So, now they need to tell Angus what to do.

"Alright, Can I just slee.. I mean defend the flag?" asked Angus before the other told their strategy.

'Did you just say sleep?!!' Thought Everyone.

"Rejected!!" said Jayna.

"Eh.. Why??" replied Angus.

"Because you will just sleep away and not defend the flag properly. Your job is to gather the flag around the arena while the others defend the base flag." replied Angus.

'Haaa… I guess I will find a secluded spot and sleep there.' Thought Angus.

"Also don't you dare try to sleep in the middle of searching the flag!!" remind Jayna.

"Err.. Haha.. There is no way I will do that. Trust me.." said Angus but everyone already gave him a doubting face.

"Oh yeah.. If everyone is defending the flag who is going to take the other flag team? Don't tell me we play defensively this time?" asked Angus curiously

"Of course not. I am alone enough to take the others' flag. The others also agree about this, right?" said Jayna proudly

Angus could only look at his reluctant classmate. Class tournaments are a show of one strength. As kids, all of them want to show and play aggressive.

But, because of Jayna's dictacto.. *Cough* leadership, everyone put their ego and follow her like the righteous king.

'Whatever, I just hope this could end peacefully.' thought Angus inwardly.

Finally, the time came and Teacher Elis brought them to their base flag before leaving them alone. After waiting a while, a booming sound was heard in the air as the sign of the tournament began. *BOOM*

"Angus, go collect the flag and don't you dare to sleep this time." said Jayna before she went searching for another team base flag.

After walking from the others for a while, Angus used [Mana Echolocation] to find the other's position. He found a few people gathering together with familiar mana signatures gathering. He speculates that this is where the other class flag base.

Most of them leave three or more people to defend their base flag. It seems they already anticipated that Jayna will rush alone in this tournament.

During this moment, he also feels a few unfamiliar mana signatures at the edge of the arena along with one familiar mana signature.

"This signature, if I am not wrong it is Teacher Oswalt. Tch… I guess I need to keep my world with that old butler."

"Haa.. I just want a peaceful life. Well, I guess this tournament will be a little bit interesting." as Angus walking towards the unfamiliar group location.

Meanwhile, Jayna finally found the first group after searching for a while. The defensive group consists of three students. The student group immediately begins alert as Jayna approaches alone.

"It's Princess Jayna. She seems alone." said one of the defensive students.

"Tch.. Don't underestimate us [1st Circle - Firebolt]." as one of the defensive students starting to attack towards the approaching Jayna.

But, Jayna could easily dodge the [Firebolt] spell and keep approaching them at fast speed. Looking at this, they immediately launch their respective spell [1st Circle - Firebolt] [1st Circle – Flame Shot].
