“Welcome to our secret breeding ground! Yes yes I know it was your first time but it was true! this was a place to breed the most loyal and trustworthy dogs!” the old man said proudly.

  Garen blink what dogs….

  “look if there anyone that interests you! I will tell you their price later!” the old man places his hand on his back and calmly look at this bloody scene…

  These people that feel being watched by someone start to even show more of their bloodthirsty way!

  This makes Garen don’t know what to say.. he just wants to buy slaves as bodyguards…. well he was already here anyway so he just looks around and maybe someone will make him interested enough….

  The fight was brutal and not systematic at all… Men can fight women and some children even beat up adults….. This almost makes his eyes pop out… he can see a young boy swiftly climb into an adult and stab his eyes…. It is brutal….

  Then he look around but soon a panel appeared and he can say something…. as he don’t know what to do he just wrote “give me a suggestion according to price.”

  Soon the old man looks at him with a smile “Alright don’t worry I will not cheat you! For us reputation was everything…” Soon he let him go up again and wait in a rather luxurious room.

  And then the old man asked “What was your budget? is it with gold or gems ?”

  This makes Garen think for a while and he just writes his budget on gold coins and gems “ 50.000 gold coins and 5.000 gems!”

  Soon the old man nodded “Alright did you want that price for one person or a group ?” this made Garen think and choose just one, if it was a group maybe they are not so strong right?

  The old man nod and say “Wait a minute, I will prepare the best items on that range.”

  Garen waits for a moment as the old man goes out and prepares the ‘goods’ Soon he comes in with a few people, their gender and age ranges were diverse, but he only brought three people.

  One was an adult male, he look strong and had scars everywhere… the other was a young girl around Rose's age, the same as that man she have a few scars on her body.

  The last one was the boy that he see before…

  The old man soon explain something and a panel about their information showed on his phone screen.

  [gender: male]

  [Job: Assassin]

  [Description: Agile and deadly considering his age he is a real talent for killing!]

  [Price: 10.000 Gems]

  Garen look at the price of the last one that little boy and it was over his budget…

  The old man knows about this and says “ I know this boy was over the budget but I recommend you to think about it, he is cheap now because he is still young, and given enough time it will not only be merely 10.000 gems!”

  The old man try to explain this as this boy was profitable to buy! Garen himself already sees this boy's brutality…and agrees with this...He sighs in real life, even if he wanted to he doesn’t have the money…. and in truth, if he has money he will just buy all of them…. as all of them look useful!

  Now he doesn’t know which one he chooses… of course aside from the kid… seeing his circumstance he thinks the warrior was good! As he can be used as deterrence to anybody that wants to make trouble in his shop… so he decides to pay for this man!

  "Wonderful decision! He will always be loyal to you and protect you or those you choose! And he'll look out for your best interests!" the old man praised Garen's choice so much, soon his gold coins were reduced by fifty thousand but he believe he can cover it soon enough!

  With that, his character walks out of the black market and goes back into his shop, and surprisingly he can see a man standing guard on the door! Different from before this time he is fully armed… at least he has iron armor and a big sword….

  When he click on the adventurer menu he can see some sub-menu now, it was adventurer and slaves! His manager was still considered an adventurer while this man was his slave! Even though he has the title of Blood Guard…. he doesn’t know what it means either.

  Maybe it was the name of their group as the others have the same title right?

  Soon he doesn’t think much about this and focuses on his mana circulation… his money was reduced so much so he needs time to earn some back, after circulating for a while he stops and rests… he just wants to make sure he does this every day and that there is at least a bit of progress.

  The next day he still goes to school like usual! But he goes straight to Mr. William and that old professor.

  First, he goes to Mr William “Sir is there any important lecture or event soon ?” Garen wants to know if there is anything worth noting first and make a schedule according to it.

  Mr. William was not shocked by this random question right in the morning “There is only a dungeon trial one month from now, you can do whatever you want before that.”

  Garen nodded, it seem they let their student do whatever they want and with that, he thanks Mr Willian and start to walk out, he want to look for that old professor and asked a similar question but regarding a lesson.

  “Kid, did you think building a foundation can be done in a few days? Mana circulation will be the topic for a few months until I see some progress on students I will keep on that topic, of course you can ask other questions aside from it and if you show me your progress I will make an exception and teach you another lesson.” the old professor said,

  he make sure that every student learn the basic and in case some student was already good enough but others was not he will still teach them another lesson while forcing the others to take that basic mana circulation…..

  Garen nodded and thank him, soon he walked toward the library he want to look for that mana barrier that this old professor tell him about!

  Yesterday he can’t go to the library as he is so tired already… even though mana circulation was important it was a boring and monotonous way of learning.

  Circulate your mana and circulate again, if it is just a few times he can do that but to do so for hours and days? it was something else, after that lesson he just want to go home.

  Now that he knows about this school's way of teaching, he chooses to skip that mana circulation class…. soon after walking a few minutes he arrives at the library, as the name implies this place was a place to store books, and from the outside it was similar to a library from his previous world.

  Just the content was different... when he come in he doesn’t need to show any student card or something and just walks straight to row after row of shelves.

  There were librarians but the sign already told him the general content of this library, they separate this book into segments depending on their topic, What he look for was the spell category and he look for that particular sign, sure enough, there are one!

  And with that, he starts to look at the book cover one by one… well it seems he is too confident by not asking the librarians, many books teach spells here and he needs to take some time to search for that mana barrier spell!

  He read the title of many books, and he found out that they were separated based on their element too, the same as inside his games, some have red covers, it was fire-related spells, brown for earth, and so on.

  He search and found the white cover… it seems a white cover for universal elements or maybe pure mana? as it was about mana circulation, mana bullets, and so on.

  Soon he found what he look for! The mana barrier was a book with a white cover and a blue circular icon, with that he start to read it on the spot!

  He found out that the general idea was pretty easy to understand he just need to condense his mana outside his body to make a physical barrier that help him defend against attack.

  he can understand that easily but the execution was rather complicated, as how you make that intangible feeling that is supposedly mana into a tangible mana barrier, how to make mana flow into air, and so on...

  This makes Garen can’t help but press his temple… it was not really that easy! Ideas and reality are always like that……
