Chapter 112 Mana Stones
Knock! Knock!
Max's eyes slowly opened after hearing the knocks on the door.
"Young master Max, It's me, Neer. Are you still sleeping?" Neer called out while knocking on the door. He has been knocking for more than ten minutes now but Max didn't open the door.
The disciples on the rooms beside Max's were getting annoyed by this but didn't say anything seeing that it was Neer. However, hearing him call an inner sector disciple, master even after becoming a core disciple, they started looking down on him.
Max, after regaining his consciousness, he realised that he was lying on the floor with his back facing the ceiling. He slowly stood up and streched his limbs. He didn't feel any different from yesterday apart from his tattered clothing.
However, when he recalled that crazy mana absorption, he didn't believe that there won't be any change. Just as he wanted to open his status window, Neer once again knocked on the door.
'I'll check it later.' He didn't open his status window and walked towards the door and opened it.
Creak~
Neer was about to knock once again when the door opened.
Neer looked at him weirdly and asked "What happened young master? Why do you look like this?"
"It's nothing." Max shook his head and changed the topic "What's the matter? Why are you here this early in the morning?"
Neer hurriedly said "Young master, don't you remember that the classes are officially starting from today? You should quickly get ready. We shouldn't be late on the first day."
Max nodded. When they arrived, the elders announced that their classes will start one week later. Until then, they were free to do whatever they wanted.
However Max pointed at Neer's chest where the emblem of core disciple was pinned and asked curiously "Aren't you a core disciple? How come you are here? Are the core and inner disciples going to attend the same class?"
Neer shook his head "No, we'll be in different classes. However we can still go together. That's why I came."
"Oh, okay. Come inside until I get ready then." Max walked back inside, Neer also followed.
Unlike everyone assumed, the room the inner sector disciples were given was a normal sized room. There was only a wooden bed, a wooden table and chair, a cushion to meditate on and a wardrobe to put clothes or other things inside. A bathroom was attached to each room.
The room was in no way luxurious and in fact was very bad by the standards of Nobles. Therefore many disciples who came from noble families were dissatisfied with the poor accomodations they received and complained.
However, to this, The academy's only reply was "If you aren't satisfied with what we gave you, you can buy better ones."
Hearing this reply, Many wanted to buy better accomodations. However, their hopes were dashed the moment they found that the currency here wasn't the gold coins but 'Mana stones.'
However, there were some who knew before joining that the currency used in every academy was Mana stones. Therefore, their families gave them however many stones they could. However, the families who weren't too rich could only afford to give them a few dozen mana stones as for the more wealthy families, they gave their sons or daughters a few hundred mana stones.
Even so, they couldn't buy better accomodations as even a hotel room for one night costs at least 5 lower grade mana stones. In the end, they had to buy furniture like bed and some other things from the market of the third peak.
Ashton, as a Viscount could also give Max at least a few dozen mana stones. However, because the count Wiley was incharge of their town and also had the authority to distribute the resources to the nobles under the royal family like Garfield family, he wouldn't give him more a few mana stones every month and this was only to make fun of him.
Because Max suddenly changed for better a few months ago, Ashton couldn't save any mana stone for him. He wanted to buy a few from the market, but from the savings he had, he could either buy a few dozen mana stones or the lowest grade spatial bag.
Ashton chose the spatial bag for his son as he believed that he will need it more than the mana stones. He had seen Max becoming a Two-star mage in a few months without using any mana stone.
Although Ashton guessed that Max must have encountered some tremendous opportunity to transform like this, he didn't ask as he believed that there are some secret that are better not shared. Therefore, considering this, Ashton chose to buy the spatial bag for Max.
...
Although Max was used to sleeping in his comfortable bed, he didn't have any complain sleeping on the wooden bed. However he still decided to buy a good bed from the monthly mana stones he will get from the academy. Many wouldn't do this as Mana stones were too important for the cultivation, however, Max was different in this case, because thanks to his cheat system, he didn't need mana stones to cultivate.
The only use they had for him was to replenish his mana. However, he could do it without them, even though it'll take more time if he is completely spent. But he knew the he wouldn't be in any situation where he might need to replenish his mana so quickly that he would need mana stones to do so, anytime soon.
Max entered the bathroom, quickly freshened up and took a bath. From his spatial bag, he took out the uniform academy had given them on the first day the arrived here.
The uniform was same for everyone, be it outer sector disciples, inner sector disciples or core disciples. They had to wear white shirt and grey pants.
They thing that identified them as core, inner zand outer sector disciples was the same emblem that Neer had on his chest. Core disciple's emblem had three small clouds' images, inner disciples had two while outer sector disciple had one on their emblems.
When Max came out dressed in the academy's uniform, Neer stared at him and smiled "Young master, Many girls will fall for you." His voice contained a hint of envy.
Max smiled and didn't comment at this. He walked out of the room, "Let's go."
They both walked toward the central area of the town where their classes will be held.
When They walked out of the dormitory, he encountered Flavia. However, she wasn't alone, a few boys were walking beside her, trying to talk to her.
However, when she also saw Max and Neer coming, she slowed down to join them and greeted them politely "Good morning sir Max. Good morning sir Neer."
Neer felt self conscious when She greeted him and hurriedly bowed toward her "Good morning Miss Flavia."
Max also greeted her with a smile "Good morning miss Flavia." He then looked at her up and down and nodded "I have to say, you look gorgeous in this uniform too."
A faint blush appeared on her contours hearing his compliment. She looked at him also dressed in white and grey with his sapphire eyes and hair, he looked too handsome but she couldn't bring herself compliment him like he did to her.
Mac then glanced at the boys who were following her and snapped coldly "What are you doing here? Get lost."
He knew that Flavia wasn't interested in talking to her but they still harassed her. How can he bear to see someone other than him flirt with a girl like Flavia. Moreover they were more than acquaintances after traveling together for three days.
The boys scrambled away without saying anything. Flavia saw this and said "Thank you sir Max."
"It's no problem, let's go now or we will be late." They then walked away.
