One incident after another
One incident after another
After eating breakfast, Jason followed the others outside the building, and it seemed as if they were at a big hotel.
Jason didn't have the desire to know where he had been the day before, and only now did he notice that they were on one of the several high-rise floors of a skyscraper.
They entered a glass elevator and Jason could see the demolished streets and ruins of buildings far away...
Opening his quantum bracelet's holographic screen, he accessed the news about Jiro-City and the death toll that seemed to never cease to rise….The numbers were shockingly high.
1,553,356 deaths and less than 1 million injured humans.
Jiro-City had around 40 million citizens and was thus one of the biggest B-grade cities on Astrix while only Cyro and Bengal-City were relatively larger A-grade Cities.
Cyro-City had a population of around 80 to 90 million citizens while Bengal-City had around 75 million citizens.
The Capital of Astrix island was Cyro owing to which, the most prestigious schools were located in Cyro.
The city was infamously dubbed as the 'City of Rivalry' by many, because not only did the students have a deep sense of competition to reach the higher class ranking in order to gain more resources, but the schools themselves had a fierce rivalry against each other.
While the Vanguard school was seen as one of the big three schools with its 6 affiliated schools, it wasn't the biggest nor the finest amongst the big three but had a good balance between these factors.
What made the Vanguard school stand out amongst its rival schools was its foundation, which was based on imbibing a deep and theoretical knowledge that got imprinted in the student's mind for as long as he lived.
Their motto was "Knowledge is power", but unfortunately for Jason, his knowledge wasn´t that powerful, and he could only curse in his mind about such a stupid motto.
Many humans had died over the last 24 hours, and Jason felt sad about the incident. But, this was also one of the reasons, his ambition to reach a higher mana core rank was only getting firmer.
`Cowardly dying? F*CK you beasts and nobles... Lick my boots...I won't die!!`
Jason cursed in his mind and felt that it was getting more and more stable.
Only a few minutes later, they had reached outside and Mark summoned a dark red, sporty-looking limousine with a length of more than 6 meters in front of them.
Somehow, this limousine looked even more expensive than the hovering truck to Jason. He noticed the mana radiating from the car and he immediately knew that it was made from the remains of a magical ranked beast at the worst.
While stepping inside, Jason was astonished by the revolutionary interior of the car. It sported a very technologically advanced look with a large screen in the front, a portable fridge at the side, with beverages inside.
It was very spacious inside the limousine and sitting down on the plush leather seats felt extremely comfortable to Jason who had never been in a luxurious sedan. He wondered if he could tuck himself and fall asleep in the cosy space. He was pulled out of his daydreaming when he was pushed inside.
Looking around in fascination, even Greg and Malia felt very relaxed and Gabriella smiled when she saw Jason´s amazed face.
"Jason, just so you know… this peak grade-2 flying limousine was made from ourazin-hoarding-metal-beasts that are rare magical beasts. Ourazin alone is a precious metal, but once hoarded in a metal beast's stomach, the purity and mana conductivity of the metal increases by a large margin.
This causes the limousine to reach a much higher speed...And to be honest, this car is our most treasured asset as well as the most expensive one...hehe…"
"OHH...How expensive is it??" Jason listened to her attentively and he was curious about the price. While he had known that the Flers were rich, he was eager to find out how costly their most expensive asset was and Jason listened impatiently.
"We paid with high-grade mana stones and other magical treasures but if I was to convert...It should be around 100 Star notes.."
Jason looked dumbfounded and was flummoxed as he was clueless as to what Star notes were….
"Ohh..right… you don't know anything about Star notes. Credits are mostly used for smaller businesses while Star notes represent the more expensive currency.
100,000,000 Credits are equivalent to 1 Star note. So, we paid 10 billion Credits for this limousine."
It was as if a wormhole had opened above Jason, and his soul had vanished into thin air while he looked completely stupefied…
"HUH? 10 billion Credits????" Jason wasn't able to close his mouth that seemed to touch the car's base making Gabriella chuckle...She had wanted to brag a little about her baby, her most prized possession, but she hadn't known that Jason would react like this.
"Let's go, honey!" She said and turned around to Mark who immediately turned on the ignition.
They had applied for a flying permit through the AI in the morning itself and had received it easily. Slowly, the Limousine began to ascend into the air.
Jason continued to look outside the window with the same dumbfounded look plastered on his face, when he was hurled towards Greg due to the sudden acceleration of the flying limousine.
Nausea and the desire to vomit were the least of Jason's worries right now because he had been pressed onto Greg which wasn't really comfortable.
Malia had formed a small membrane of mana around her and chuckled while Greg gently pushed Jason away from him while laughing.
"Sorry, but you are not my type, bro."
"YOU ARE ALSO NOT MY TYPE, MUSCLEHEAD!!" Jason shouted at the top of his voice because he was embarrassed. How should he have known that the limousine would reach such a terrifying speed in less than a second?
Jason wasn't even able to determine where they exactly were, as he could only barely make out the landscape outside the window that passed in a blur.
The only thing Jason could see was a hazy mix of different colors, brown, green, white, and red, which surprised him..
`How fast is this car that I can't see anything at all, even with my special eyesight??`
But after thinking about the price Jason understood the situation completely….The limousine had to be extremely fast, but it probably couldn't defend its occupants with the speed at which it was flying towards its destination. Though Jason couldn't see clearly, it felt like they had taken a big detour to avoid four-star zones and most three-star zones that had many flying beasts, thereby reducing the possibility of an aerial attack.
After trying to find a nice spot to sit in, Jason decided to enter his soul world to run away from the awkward situation with Greg and Malia on either side of him.
Somehow, Jason always found himself sandwiched between the two of them though it didn't feel bad to be surrounded by friends.
He forgot the previous situation as fast as he had forgotten Malia´s nightgown incident and entered the soul world.
His soul energy was at 5.4 units while the natural replenishing process of the entire energy took around 6 hours which was around four times faster than what most souls innately recovered over a whole day.
While refining his soul energy, Jason felt that his soul world was significantly increasing in size which made him happy.
Before leaving, he glanced at the white cocoon with snow floating around it with a gentle smile.
Outside the soul world, Jason noticed something blue flying in his direction before he could figure out the situation he was in.
While he had been inside the soul world, the limousine made a generous curve which caused Greg and Jason, both of whom had entered the soul world, to get pressed into Malia, who was also in her soul world.
Malia noticed something pressing on her chest and the first thing she saw, was a black-haired youth with closed eyes while her stupid brother was pressing Jason even more on her chest.
Turning red due to shame and anger, she manifested two balls of water; one was big, the other one was slightly smaller.
The big ball of water was shot at Greg's face with a high velocity, while the small ball was thrown at Jason´s face, who opened his eyes right before the ball appeared.
Jason only noticed that he was in an inappropriate situation yet again before he was hit by the waterball.
"ARGHHH" Jason and Greg cried out at the same time while holding their wet heads.
