Chapter 55: Battle energy (2)
‹The fifth limb is called the battle Core. The battle core is located at the pit of the stomach. The battle core is the ultimate treasure that can store an unlimited amount of battle energy, which is produced by physical training or through executing rare physical postures that are modeled after magical beasts while breathing in Mana. It can also be obtained by drinking battle energy elixirs.›
When Whittaker had read the first, second, and third pages, he felt awe for battle masters, but the next two pages diminished the thoughts in his brain.
‹The potential of the battle core cannot be fully utilized by humans as our body will break down under the pressure generated by the battle energy stored in the battle core. To bear this pressure a battle master must open the blood vessel and energy passage. A newborn battle master can only generate ten strands of battle energy through training. After that, the energy passage and the blood vessel must be opened, only then should a battle master generates the eleventh strand of battle energy, otherwise, the body will start to break down!›
Whittaker understood that through physical training he could generate ten strands of battle energy. Then, he must open one of the many blood vessels and energy passages in his body, otherwise, his body will feel pain due to the pressure radiated out of the battle core.
The book only described two methods to open blood vessels and energy passages. The first method was to carry heavy luggage on the back like a donkey and the second method was to drink opening elixirs.
Opening elixirs can be used to open blood vessels and energy passages!
These elixirs could only be brought at a hefty price. The cheapest one cost 100 platinum bars. Whittaker came to a certain understanding that his cute and slender sister, Elisha has to chose the first method because they couldn't afford the second one.
That means his sister is bound to become a burly and bulky woman like the goblin teacher.
'No, I must never allow that at any cost!' Whittaker thought that with a full-passion determination that couldn't be shaken up by any means.
He wasn't going to let his sister suffer an ugly fate!
Whittaker didn't ponder too much about the matter of money and his sister as he knows that he should be focusing all his attention to read the entire book first.
That's just what he did, reading the book, and gaining more information about battle masters and battle energy.
Out of the next few hundred pages, these were the following important information.
‹ A: Ranking ›
The battle Core determines the rank of a battle energy master. The rank of a battle core increases with the number of battle energy strands present in it. The order for basic battle energy master goes as follows.
F rank battle master = 1-20 battle energy strands.
E-rank battle master= 20-49 battle energy strands
D-rank battle master= 50-100 battle energy strands.
‹ B: Usage ›
Battle masters enhance their bodies with battle energy, allowing them to possess incredible strength, defense, and agility. Moreover, a person can use battle energy to reinforce the Class weapon. According to the attribute line/s of the Class weapon, a special effect will be added to the attacks. A person with a fire attribute line can generate a swirling flame dragon through his weapon while a person with a space attribute line can blink by using the special effect of his class weapon!
Out of the hundreds of pages, this was the important and necessary information that Whittaker had summarized.
With the final task done, it was time to satisfy the hunger that he couldn't feel because of mana overdose. In a sense, mana acted like a drug. The sudden increase of it or soaking in too much of it can lead to the brain misinterpreting a lot of things about the physical body. For example, Whittaker's young body certainly needed food to satisfy its hunger and to grow up, yet his brain didn't feel the need to eat food.
Whittaker certainly wasn't gonna follow the signals of his brain as the pain he had felt some moments ago was unbearable and had almost caused him to collapse and weep like the kid he is.
He pulled out his Student ID card from the slot of the card reader and put it back in his chest pocket. The magical table functions were deactivated.
Taking the portal, he descended to the first floor and calmly stepped out of the Royal Library. Since it was night, he believed that no one will be in the hallway, hence he started to sprint out of the Academy's main building.
Just like he thought, no one was in the hallway to reprimand, stop, or scold him.
Some teachers are still in the main building. They are giving a late-night lecture to the studious group of students. They have sharp senses and they heard the hurried footsteps of Whittaker sprinting, but they didn't have the heart to trouble another student so late at night.
Therefore, Whittaker stepped out of the main academy building without meeting any problems.
There were only three ways a student can get food in the Royal Frost Fall Academy. The first one was to go to the food court and purchase Starred Dishes that are cooked by students with a Magic Chef profession.
The food court was a big club that was created by the students with the Magic Chef profession to earn money and improve their craft. The academy has allowed it too.
In a sense, the food court allowed students to have a better sense of what they are getting into. The students will not only improve their cooking but will also understand how to deal with financial matters related to the Magic Chef profession. That's why the Academy actively promotes food court.
The food court also sells Starred dishes at a cheaper price compared to other places. Though the food court closes at 8 p.m. and it was far beyond that time.
So, Whittaker had to choose one of the other two options.
