The Mysterious Black Magician Chapter 13
Advertisement
She was walking steadily while pointing the tip of her sword downward. Around her, battles had started already. A few seconds later, one of the monsters rushed towards her.
The monster had a bulky figure. It has a body made of stone and on their head, there was an eye. A lone eye that circles in shape and red in color.
Above its head, there was a red bar. This bar was the monster's health point. Inside the red bar, the number 300/300 was visible. This number was its total health points.
The monsters had four bulky limbs and stood on their feet just like a human did.
When the monster arrives ten meters away from Almina, it stops rushing and pierces its stone hand in the ground. The land cave in as the boulder formed in its hand.
A second later it throws the boulder at her. Almina stomps her feet on the ground and jumps 10 meters above the ground while twisting her body in the air.
The boulder passed below her and she landed at a one-meter distance at the monster's back. The enemy was an earth elemental type of monster.
Seeing the monster's back wide open, she hastily lifted her sword to stab. But Almina did not continue her attack, because of the spikes that suddenly grew on the monster's back.
Almina quickly shifted her body from attacking into retreating.
Her movements were fast.
"Woah, look at that. She's not only beautiful but a good fighter as well," Bob commented while watching Almina fight.
Watching the battle, even Yman was captivated for the way she fought. Her movements were like that of an experienced fighter.
"...mhm, she is not only a beauty indeed...but a talented girl as well," Yman agreed to Bob.
"Uhm...the truth is...she is a daughter of one of the rank S seekers in our world," Chloe who was silently watching the battle with them suddenly noted the two.
Hearing her words, the two men could only admire even more at the beautiful girl who was fighting at the moment. Especially Yman who wishes to become a strong seeker in the future.
"Looks like Chloe knows her very well," Yman voiced out.

"Uh? Eh...we used to be classmates in elementary," she said flustered.
"I see," Yman replied.
WOOOAAAAHHHH!!!
Their conversation had been cut by the sudden shouts of the other trainees watching the ongoing battle.
They glanced at the cause and saw the beautiful girl Almina change her sword with an ice element to a fire element one.
The monster throws three consecutive boulders towards her.
Almina shifted her body to left and right in order to avoid the incoming boulders. She moves in zigzag while advancing towards the enemy.
The monster noticed that its attack had no effect. It then transformed the two hands into seemingly a blade. When Almina arrived on the monster's front, the monster rapidly swung its hand to tear her apart.
Though the monster is a bit taller than her and had a bulky stone body, Almina was quick that the monster's attacks all miss the target.
The monster stretches its two hands apart which opens up its defense.
All the audience who was watching the fight knitted their brows in wonder if why the monster let its defense open.
Even Yman was surprised at the monster's move.
Seeing that the monster's body was open. Almina rushed in while brandishing her sword with the fire element. If this sword hits the monster, it surely doubles or triples the damage, because the earth element was weak on fire element.
All the trainees around opened wide their mouths and eyes at the intensity of battles that were happening around.
Although the monsters were at rank C only, the trainees weren't that strong as well. They were mostly at levels 1-3.
To kill a rank C monster, one must be at level 3 or higher. Even at level 3, the win was not guaranteed. One must be a talented fighter to kill the rank C monster at this level.
Almina's sword lifted in a stabbing attack directly at the monster's chest. But before the attack hit the monster, the two hand blades of the monster suddenly stab and pierce at her figure.
The audience shriek at the sight, the others had blood rushing their body while showing grim expressions.
Although magicians could not literally die after their health points reach zero, and even their wounds have no blood would gush, but witnessing a beautiful girl brutally stabbed to her face was somewhat made anyone hold their breath in regret.

But contrary to everyone's expectation, what the monster had stabbed was just an afterimage of Almina. She quickly used a Rapid Leap skill to step back. This was the same skill that Yman got after upgrading his System Deity Sistela.
Seeing that she's fine, the audience breathes a sigh of relief.
Raging Blade Immediate Assault!
She softly whispered the words and her body instantly vanished at her current location. She appeared 5 meters behind the monster enemy, which followed by a head that flew into the air and bounced in the ground then rolled many times when it landed.
The audience fell into silence even though the other battle was still happening around.
A few seconds later, all the audience broke into murmurs. Even the soldiers who guarded them admired the beautiful girl called Almina Amulet. Her fighting was top notch.
All the instructors that were watching nodded their heads.
"What a fight!" Bob exclaimed while widely opening his mouth.
Yman could only smile. He saw a familiar skill. It looks like he's not the only one who got a Rapid Leap. Not just that, that skill that finished the enemy in one shot was rather powerful. He could only stare with envy at her skill.
Almina let out a sigh after killing the monster in one strike.
"I need to practice more," she thought, dissatisfied at her results.
That skill almost emptied her mana. Her eyes wandered around the audience. And suddenly met his gaze a moment before she ran towards her best friend with lavender hair.
"Good job, Mina!" Her best friend shouted.
"Thank you, Kesha," she replied with a smile.
Seeing the two beautiful girls hugged each other, the boys around could only watch as their saliva gushed from their mouths.
Yman scratches his face. Wondering if it just him, or she really glanced at him? Weird.
Mina was the first to finish the fight. Minutes later after her, some had managed to finish as well. There were some talented trainees who caught the attention of the instructors after Almina. While some were able to kill their target in difficulty and some in luck.
Though some had managed to kill their target, the other's weren't able to achieve and decided to give up.
The instructor Goki randomly chose a substitute to replace the trainee who gives up.
The substitutes excitedly rushed to the battlefield while grinning.
"Get your ass out there noob!" Some random trainee shouted to the other random trainee who gave up the fight.
Yman saw Kiko and his friends also, they rushed towards one of the monsters. They ganged up on one monster.
Looks like they had found a good strategy to kill the monster easily. But since there were six of them, they needed to kill six monsters or above.
Yman also noticed the guy who pushed him at the auditorium this morning.
A sinister smile leaked on Yman's face.
How could he let them unpaid?
After all, he was the type of guy who couldn't sleep without paying back.
Even though Yman was acting gentle and calm outside. Deep inside, he was oozing with enmity towards someone he deemed as an enemy.
"I-I give up!" Another trainee shouted.
One after another, many trainees shouted to give up. Even the substitute one decided to give up after experiencing how difficult it was to kill these monsters.
"You, it's your turn!" The instructor Goki pointed at Yman.
A glint was visible in his eyes as he nodded.
No matter if he couldn't kill the monster, he was level 1 after all. In the first place, it was impossible for him to kill it in a 1 vs 1 fight. But, killing the monster was not his plan all along.
"Instructor Goki, Sir, is it fine if I will attack several monsters at the same time?"
But before he ambled towards the battlefield, a question from him stunned everyone in the audience.
It wasn't like he didn't have a plan, of course he has. But it's uncertain if it succeed. So he had to ask first because he wanted to try.
After all, there's no certain in a battle. Luck also plays an important role. However, he believed if nothing unexpected to happen there was a high chance for it to succeed.

March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
