I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 20

"Hmph!!" *BOOOM* *BOOOM*
The captured black hooded intruders explode by themself and destroy the surrounding root.
Fortunately, the school infirmary is strong enough to withstand the blast. Still all the guards get disoriented from such the shockwave of the explosion.
Using this chance, the last intruder escapes by turning into shadow and disappears from his spot.
Didn't expect that the intruder will suicide by explosion themself, Vice teacher Ellen also could not react to send another root before the intruder gone.
'Damn!! They managed to get away.' Thought the vice principal.
"Bring all the injuries to the inside, notify the captain guard to secure the infirmary perimeter, and someone calls Principal Anthony about this." Command the vice principal.
After that she checked Angus's condition, "Alright, kid. Now everything is saf...."
Interrupt Angus while faking his body to become rough breathing, "T-The monster… Is the monster dead?? What about that loud sound? Am I.. Am I going to.."
Looking at this Ellen reassured Angus, "Hushh… Calm down, Angus. Everything is alright. There is no monster. Nobody is going to hurt you."
After a while being calmed down by the vice principal, Angus showed symptoms to become calmer before falling back to sleep.
Seeing that Angus is finally asleep, she goes back to her work to help the principal about this incident.
As soon as the vice principal left Angus alone, he checked the surrounding silently with [Mana Echolocation] and didn't find anything abnormal beside the increase of the guard. Then, he went back to his sweet dream that he longed for.
The next morning, Angus discharges from the academy's infirmary after getting some calming potion. Although, the potion is actually useless for Angus but it could calm his mind and make his mind more clearer.
This kind of effect is quite startled and quite miraculous for him. Normally, this kind of effect is quite useless for everyday life except for refreshment.

However, if it is used by a magician it will help them a lot especially in dire situations. Magicians need a calm mind to cast a spell, the moment their mind is in chaos their ability to cast spells is also lower.
The potion could help magicians to stay cool in most chaotic situations. Even Though there is a spell that could achieve such an effect but it will cost mana and has a lesser time effect than the potion.
Unfortunately, the potion is quite expensive since it is highly sought and hard to produce in the market. Their usage is not only for magicians in battle but also for medication for the case like Angus.
Inside the chaotic world like Firuman where people will constantly fight against monsters. Like any other kind of war, many people will get injured physically and mentally. The potion will help them to recover faster.
This is also the reason why Angus chose to take the vital courses that could support someone in battle. Apparently, a master in supporting jobs such as alchemy, blacksmith, scriber, etc. is highly sought by everyone, even the king himself.
If not because it takes a very long time and resources to nurture a master in this kind of job, everyone is already applying for this job.
Leaving the academy's infirmary, Angus walks aimlessly before changing his route to the secluded area inside the academy.
Arriving at the secluded area, he gathers his mana in his hand and punches towards the shadow below the tree. Before the punch touches the shadow, it materializes into black cloaked person.
In a split second the person managed to avoid Angus's fist, but Angus kept launching his fist towards the ground. *Blam* *Crack*
The ground below the black hooded man turns into a huge crack and makes him a little bit disoriented from the unstable ground.

Using this opportunity, Angus follows up his attack by swinging his enhanced mana kick. Receiving the sudden powerful kick, the man feels like being hit by a bull and flies away for a few meters before stopping after crashing the nearby tree.
Didn't want to give his opponent a chance, Angus approached the guy using [Beast Walk]. Instantly, Angus arrives in front of the black hooded man and punches him in his guts towards the air.
The man tried to change into shadow again but failed and got launched in the air. He could only fly in the air hopelessly. While Angus is on the ground, look at him with cold eyes and in a horse stance position. In this instant, his body is covered with mana [Iron Body].
The moment the man fell back to the ground, Angus stomped his leg to the ground until it cracked and launched his hand towards the man like a spear [Spear hand].
Feeling the rush of his mana in his hand, Angus penetrated the man's heart easily before it could react to anything.
Because of Angus's harsh attack and strong momentum, the man's body got forced into the air once again before finally dropping to the ground became a gruesome corpse.
As for Angus himself, he is already meters away from the location in clean state. If not because of his rough breathing, no one will think he just got into a harsh fight.
'Haa… Huft.. Huft… I don't know why he chose me but you got the wrong person to stalk.' Thought Angus inwardly while calming his rough breathing.
After calming his breathing, 'Just like I thought, I didn't feel anything when to take away someone's life. Haaa… Why a peaceful life is so hard to achieve. For God sake I am still 8 years old and they keep bothering me.'
Little did he know that the one that stalked him actually just wanted to get revenge on him because of foiling his asssasination plan yesterday. But, the man never knows Angus's true strength.
While walking away from the battle spot, Angus keeps his vigilance and uses [mana echolocation] silently.
After calming his breath he takes a detour in a more crowded area before he meets a familiar person in teacher attire on his way to his dorm.
"Hmm… Aren't you, Angus? Are you alright now?" Asked the teacher
"Yes, thanks for your concern, teacher. …" Replied Angus politely.
"Ahh… I have never introduced myself since our meeting at the tournament. My name is Oswalt. Just call me teacher Oswalt." [Oswalt]
Teacher Oswalt is the teacher that comes to help Angus when he gets disqualified in the tournament.
"I see, thanks for your concern and help from before teacher oswalt. I am fine now after taking medication that the vice principal gave." [Angus]
"Alright, if you think so. Just don't push yourself. You are still young anyway." [Oswalt]
"Sure. Then, I will be on my way teacher Oswalt." [Angus]
"Yeah, take care of yourself, Angus."
Leaving the teacher Oswalt, 'Hmm… Weird, he has the same smell as the last intruder that I just killed. Well, none of it matters.'
'I will just take care of him if he tries anything to harm me.' Thought Angus inwardly while still having his usual happy going expression on the outside.

Cybernetic Dragon
Idea Seven, or Inter Dimensional Explorer Automaton Unit-7, has had a bit of an accident. Hijacking the egg of a dragon rather than its intended target of a bird egg, it isn't fully in control of its host brain. Rather the two, dragon and cybernetic AI interface, must work together to survive in a hostile world of magic, dungeons, beasts and adventurers. The AI must deal with being a machine from a world of science trying to carry out its mission of exploration, while the dragon, Rex, must deal with being a cyborg living with symbiotic nanotech that sets him apart from other dragons. What adventures await them? Author Note: I tagged this story GameLit because it contains concepts like levels, classes, and dungeon/beast cores. But, it isn't tagged LitRPG because no one has status screens, other than occasionally Idea Seven who likes to organize data into blue boxes. It isn't a natural function of the world to display level ups or skill ups with an announcer voice. I mention this to set expectations, because otherwise I feel like LitRPG fans might be disappointed by my lack of LitRPG elements while others might be turned off thinking I have a lot of LitRPG elements. I think that if you approach the story with an open mind you will appreciate the gradual way in which the main character learns and expands his understanding of how the world works, but the game mechanics aren't meant to take center stage to the actual story.
