Chapter 117 Another Inauguration?
"..Surprise? I was stuck somewhere, and your father came to get me. That\'s about it. As for where he went after we came back? I don\'t know." Michael replied honestly, he knew she did not have the best of tempers around here.
"I see.."
Amanda stood still for a moment, as if thinking about something, that was until her gaze landed on Tony. Continue reading at empire
She walked up to him with a blank expression and placed a single finger on his forehead.
"How would you rate your performance during this time of crisis?" She said in an eerily emotionless voice, which caused a shiver to go down Michael\'s spine.
Tony seemed startled as he replied in a shaky voice "M-Miss Amanda? I-I tried doing my best.."
However, it seemed like Amanda was not buying it, if even the students knew about what he had done, how could she not know?
After all, Tony was personally assigned to his position by none other than Amanda herself.
Just as Michael was about to step up and say something, Tony\'s head was blasted to bits, but before the blood could spill onto the other patients, it pooled into a single small ball before disappearing.
\'...Damn.\' Michael couldn\'t help but gulp at the sudden development.
However, every single patient around them seemed unbothered, almost as if they were relieved at what had just happened.
Amanda sighed and turned back around to face Michael "How do you feel about becoming a Saint for the second time?"
"What are my benefits?" He went straight to business, putting the incident that had just happened behind him.
"Same as before, just much more money, how about it?"
"Do you think I am some sort of idiot?" Michael quickly shot back, his strength was nearly at Tier 2, yet she wanted to hold him down with just a bit more money.
Either she was trying to be unreasonable, or she was just testing his intelligence.
"Fine... what do you want?"
\'Hmm...\' Michael thought for a moment, however, he had already planned out what he wanted to ask.
"Give me unlimited access to that world, oh, and don\'t expect me to stay in this city for long, I will be heading out pretty soon."
Michael had been thinking about it ever since reaching the first tier, what was the point of him staying in Vivum any longer?
All that he was doing was hindering his own progress and the rate at which he was improving. He needed to move to a much stronger world.
However, he still had some things left to do before then, namely, finding out more information about hell and maybe coming back to his previous continent.
There was Meph whom he wanted to meet before heading out, he had a few things to ask regarding his imprisonment.
After all, so far everything seemed to fall into place much too perfectly, there was a high chance that whoever imprisoned Meph, was also connected to him in a way.
As for Rebecca, he did not even know where to start, however, it would not hurt to swing by the orphanage, maybe he could even pick up some sort of lead where she could have gone?
There were other things that he could do, but they were all pretty low on his importance list.
Michael watched as Amanda debated his demands with a frown on her face before nodding at him hesitatingly.
"Fine, bastard... but while you are here, you must do your duties to the best of your abilities, unlike that trash from earlier" She said in a stern voice and began heading out, however, she stopped in the doorframe and turned back to him.
"There will be a ceremony in an hour, don\'t be late" With those words, she left, leaving him speechless.
\'Another ceremony..? Is that really necessary?\'
The people want a hero, or just someone to rely on in dire situations. Tony was a pretty bad example, but you, on the other hand, are the perfect candidate. You not only have a great reputation but also exceptional healing abilities.
\'I know, I just don\'t understand why the ceremony is necessary to portray that, just make an emergency announcement or something.\'n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
A ceremony will provide a bigger impact than a simple emergency notice, just go through with it, not like you have to do anything. Remember the last time?
\'True..\' Michael nodded. The system was not wrong in the fact that he did not need to do much last time.
All he had to do was stand there and drink out of some sort of cup filled to the brim with water.
\'Anyway..\' Michael cast purify on himself, and immediately, the curse he had acquired upon killing the vampire had vanished.
It was strange that his Purify was not being upgraded to a higher rank, after all, the skill was pretty solid now.
When you dispel someone who is afflicted with mind control, that should do the trick; Even if you can technically dispel it, without doing so directly, I suppose it does not count.
\'This has never happened before, though?\'
There is a first for everything, deal with it.
\'...\'
Michael proceeded to walk around the entire room and heal those who seemed a bit injured, he had quite a bit of mana to spare after all, flying did not consume anything at all since he was only using the swords of light, nothing else.
He felt a bit of pity for the healers, it seemed like they were tirelessly working ever since this incident first happened.
The casualties were in the thousands, maybe even much more, after all, massive bombs were quite literally dropped onto the city.
And to think, it only happened due to unfortunate timing, if only Fafnir had still been in Vivum, something like this would have never been allowed to happen.
Don\'t dwell on what could have been.
\'I am not, I just think the timing was a bit too perfect\' Michael replied to the system as he finally finished healing the rest of the people in the room.
Creating a perfect healing spell still seemed a bit difficult, however, by casting Aegis of Light\'s healing mode and slightly amplifying the mana, he could heal most of the people fully.
It was a neat trick and he felt like he would be able to do it to everyone around him, however, the mana cost seemed to increase exponentially as he tried healing more than one person.
As it was right now, he could still bear with it. After amplifying it, the mana cost decreased a tad bit, more than double if he had to guess.
He could not find out the exact amount as in the system\'s status screen, it displayed that it was >1% now, a pretty good adjustment.
Sadly, he could not enhance his combat skills like that, it would be too overpowered considering they were already pretty destructive and their mana costs were negligent.
As he was lost in his thoughts, a voice resounded behind him, it was a woman dressed in a healer\'s robe "Saint Michael?"
"Yes?"
"Miss Amanda said to be on time... You are about to be late.."
\'Oh.. shit\' Michael thanked the woman and headed outside of the academy. He summoned a single sword of light and got on top of it, immediately taking off into the sky.
However, there was one problem.
\'She did not tell me where I was supposed to go...\'
