“Who’ll ever though we’ll be able to process this much just because of your multiple presences…” Aegir’s confused whether he needs to be happy or sad with the multiple Oz in different forms, doing a lot of things.

After showing his new abilities to Aegir, Aegir setting a parade of the emperor and strolls around the emperor with Oz’s slime clone that imitates Oz’s real body to shows the people their emperor’s real figure.

Everyone at Tarot respects and adores their emperor, the mighty emperor that manages to unite several races and even gives them martial techniques for each race even though he’s a human himself. All of them are curious about the emperor’s figure.

“Aegir, let’s stop at Thydal’s workshop first, I’ve ordered the outfit I want to use to him,” (Oz)

Oz had already ordered an armor that suits an emperor to Thydal before, and Oz designs the emperor’s outfit by himself. He’s using a two-layer magic armor, the first layer is jet-black light armor that he will be using daily, while the second layer will only be used when there is a battle.

The armor is designed to match each other, Thydal used the rarest magic ore, adamantine magical ore as the material. A usual adamantine is considered rare already, but what Thydal used is adamantine that possess mana veins inside of it, making it the best type of magic armor.

The outer is the imperial mantle, a gorgeous and majestic red with jet-black furs that beautify it with the feeling of mystery and strength. While the crown of the emperor of the Tarot empire is a golden black colored.

“This is great! As expected of dwarves, you never fail on making great items,” Praised Oz.

“HAHAHA! You’re flattering me, your majesty! But, I made it without imbuing it with any magic, what are you going to do with it?” Thydal asked Oz, he’s curious because he knows how much a genius his emperor is.

“Hm? I’ll show it to you later, I have an idea as to what I will use it for,” (Oz)

“Well, at least you tell me what you’ve done later, your ideas are always great after all,” (Thydal)

After Oz equipper his slime clone with the emperor outfit, he went to the parade with Aegir, companied by Ibra and the strongest imperial guards.

While Oz’s slime clone is having a parade, Oz’s lich [King] is helping Gareth on an experiment and research about the strengthening of the undead, and discussing a plan to attack the demons with.

Oz’s goblin [King] clone went to subdue the Serpent King together with the lizardfolk led by Talak and the imperial soldiers led by Fedra. The negotiation got over smoothly as the Serpent King possess the ‘Eye of The Serpent God’ and could see the prowess of Oz’s goblin [King] clone and his soldiers.

Oz’s Demon [King] clone’s and other magic beast clones such as Griffin and Ectra Python keep on grinding experience at the dungeon, Oz had a lot of objectives by doing so, the first objective is Oz hope that he could reduce the effects of the curse given by the demon emperor.

The second objective is to try to clear the quest, as the demon [King] clone level up and rank up, Oz’s demon [King] clone got the skill of [Summon Demon General] that summons 4 demon general that helps him clearing the dungeon.

The last objective is to collect a lot of magic beasts cards and collecting valuable materials that could be harvest from the dungeon. Oz’s trying to rank up all of his magic beast cards to test it at an experiment, but even if it failed, those magic beast cards could still be used as clones and be a valuable military power.

Oz’s orc [King] clone’s venturing the forest with some Imperial Knight to invite other inhabitants of the forest to join the empire. With Brad’s ‘Jack of All Trades’ secret order, Oz could know the places of a race easily.

“Seriously, this is too overpower…” (Aegir)

******************************

(Master, does the ‘Slime Divison Skill’ doesn’t have any penalty of using it? A drain of excessive mana or something?) (Reo)

(I could feel my mana being absorbed, but as both of you already knew, I got infinite mana) (Oz)

(No wonder you could use it that easily, seriously, master getting this skill is just like getting a cheat) (Fenrir)

(Of course! And with my infinite mana, I don’t even get exhausted! Except for the slime clone, all of them even had a different personality with me, it’s as if I have multiple twins!) (Oz)

“We’ve arrived, from now on and next three year, all of you will stay and study here!” The headmaster pointed at a building that as big as the main magic academy building, and all of the facilities exist only for their class.

(This place…) (Oz)

(Yup, we’re very close to another magical forest) (Fenrir)

The only thing that makes Oz feels weird is the location of the special class is at the border of a magic forest that even though it doesn’t as dangerous as the magical forest of Everdeen, it had a famous dungeon called the “Spooky Mine” That rates as an A rank by its difficulties.

“Yes, I believe all of you noticed this, but the dormitory is very close to the capital magical forest. There is an A rank dungeon called the “Spooky Mine”. The inhabitants of the magical forest ate from the dungeon’s supply of mana, so there will be a lot of magic beasts that may roam and attack the dormitory, so there will be a guard shift from the class every day,” (Oxius)

“Saturday and Sunday are holidays, on usual days, you’ll be given one practical class, and you’ll be given a mission once a week. If you’ve finished the mission, then you have your free time and you can freely use the facility here,” (Oxius)

“And for the missions, you’ll also get paid for it so it will worth your while. Well, I like to explain some other things too, but it seems that it will be more interesting if I tell you later. Let’s see the fight of Mr. Brandon and Mr. Ren first, it will serve as the first duel of the class, it will be a good practice,” Oxius said cheerfully.

(Good practice my ass) (Oz)

(Master, no swearing) (Fenrir)

(You’re an emperor, master. You need to act like one) (Reo)

(Shut up both of you…) (Oz)

Oz could only sigh as the headmaster lead them to the huge training grounds of the special class facility.

“To the duelers, take your positions,” Oxius instructed Oz and Brandon to take the position of a duel.

“Is it okay, Ren? If you want, I’ll volunteer to switch up with you,” Peter unusually shows his anger.

“It’s fine, I’ll be okay,” (Oz)

Edreale suddenly pulled Oz’s shirt.

“Be careful, Ren,” (Edreale)

“As I said, I’ll be fine,” Oz assures her with a smile.

“Don’t kill him, Ren,” (Alfred)

“Yea, don’t kill him, Ren,” (Albus)

“I won’t!” (Oz)

(Listen, master, don’t kill him) (Fenrir)

(I said I won’t!) (Oz)

“Well, let’s start, when my barrier enveloped the arena, it means the battle started, ready?” (Oxius)

“”Ready!””

As Oz’s observing his opponent, some people are observing him too. The ice princess is observing Oz while using her cold face mask as usual, but some other people from the special class are also interested in the sole master magician rank Oz.

“You, your name is Ren, right? I’ll show you that you’re not worthy to be standing here,” Said Brandon arrogantly.

“Could you make it quick then? I’m getting tired with your chatter,” Oz indifferently said.

“Pfft!” Some of the students couldn’t hold but let out a laugh because of that mockery from Oz.

“Y-y-you! You’ll pay for embarrassing me!” Brandon prepares his sword

The barrier had finally set up perfectly.

(Let’s finish this with some elementary magics) (Oz)

“Body Streng-” Before Brandon could complete his magic, Oz threw some rocks at him that aim for Brandon’s body. Even though it’s only some rocks that don’t give that much damage because Brandon had some skin barrier that protects his body, but Oz’s trick is ready because of it.

“Throwing rocks, as expected of a peasant! Body Strengthening!” (Brandon)

Brandon strengthens his body with magic and shows off his muscular body.

“Don’t die from my strikes!” Brandon dashes and strikes at Oz.

Facing a sword saint rank, Oz knew that he mustn’t face the strike head-on, Oz doesn’t even summon his staff in the first place. But even though the speed of a sword saint rank is fast, his swordsmanship is average, Ov evades Brandon’s strikes rather easily.

“Does dodging is the only thing you could do, peasant!?” Brandon sneered.

“A magician usually chants a spell immediately when a battle starts and keeps a distance between their opponents, especially when it comes to a melee fighter that may have an advantage if they got close, but he doesn’t. And even though he doesn’t even wield any weapon and only at the master swordsman/master magician rank, he’s evading the strikes at such precision, magnificent!” Oxius praised Oz, making other students also let out a sound of admiration for Oz that got praise from the magic god.

Boom!

!!!

Oz finally gives a counter-attack to Brandon, making everyone surprised at how a master magician rank manages to counter-attack a sword saint. But even though Oz doesn’t give that much of damage, the strangest thing is Oz don’t strike with his fist but with his palm.

“Sprout, Burn,” Oz’s just using elementary magic to grow a sprout and a simple burn spell.

“With such a weak-w-wha! Hot! Hot! Hot!” Brandon’s clothes suddenly got set into a fire for an unknown reason.

Oz waits until Brandon lost all of his strength and cast another magic.

“Splash,” Following Oz’s spell, a spray of water extinguishes the fire that’s burning Brandon’s clothes, leaving some part of Brandon’s body exposed with burning scars that quite severe that made him lost his strength.

“Well, that’s it! The winner is Ren Arken!” (Oxius)

“Ugh…” (Brandon)
