NOVEL NEXT Chapter 2
With a thought from Chu He, the sea of fire dissipated.
Nothing in the room was affected by the flames. Everything was still intact.
After killing the demonic creature, Chu He asked inwardly, “System?”
Nothing happened.
“Stats?” Chu He asked again.
This time, a virtual panel popped up in front of him.
[Name: Chu He]
[Elemental Cell: 1 Fire Cell (+)]
[Mutated Cells: 500]
There were only these few lines on the attribute menu. It was very simple.
Looking at the plus sign behind the fire cells, Chu He pressed it mentally.
[Do you want to fuse 100 mutated cells into 1 fire cell?]
“Yes!” Chu He nodded.
On the attribute menu, the number of fire cells had increased to 2, while the number of mutated cells fell to 400.
Chu He immediately understood that this mutated cell was equivalent to the foundation of leveling up, or rather, experience points.
He used 100 mutated cells to increase the fire cell from one to two!
Chu He could clearly sense that the power of fire in his body had increased. The flame power he could control had also increased.
Without any hesitation, Chu He fused the remaining 400 mutated cells into fire cells.
Now, the number of fire cells had reached 6.
Chu He felt that his affinity with fire had increased. The flames he could control were nearly twice as strong as before.
According to Chu He’s estimations, the first of a specific type of cell would give him the strongest power. After that, when obtaining cells of the same attribute, the enhancement of his abilities would be weaker.
Chu He felt that if he faced the demon again, he would only need a little bit of fire to burn it to ashes.
The intensity of the flames was much stronger than before.
Although he could use flames, Chu He still felt that there was no magic power in his body.
“My mutated cells… seem different from the magic power of this world?” While Chu He was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the dormitory door.
Dong dong dong!
“Coming!” Chu He shouted and walked over to open the door.
Outside the door was a team of five people. They were all very young, probably eighteen or nineteen years old. They were not much older than Chu He.
The leader was a man in a mage robe. He was very handsome and emitted faint magical waves.
Beside him was a slim beauty wearing a black colored magic dress. She was very beautiful.
These five people all had a small golden badge on their shoulders, it was the symbol of the academy’s patrol team.
If Chu He was not mistaken, these five people should be his seniors. Furthermore, they were mages with a certain level of cultivation.
“Junior, we’re from the patrol team. I’m Martin, a third year student. I’d like to ask you if you’ve noticed anything unusual recently?”
Chu He shook his head. “I didn’t notice anything. It’s the same as before. I cultivate my magic power alone in the dormitory, and I order takeout when I eat. There’s nothing abnormal.”
The beautiful female student next to Martin smiled sweetly. “Junior, my name is Katrine. Can you let us in for a routine check?”
Chu He nodded: “Of course. Come in.”
Aside from Martin and Katrine, the other three senior patrolmen were standing guard outside the door.
Only the two of them walked into the dormitory.
Chu He lived in a single-person dormitory which was only slightly more than ten square meters. They could see everything as far as the eye could see.
The two of them walked to the washroom next. After taking a brief look, their expressions turned strange.
Chu He asked curiously, “Is there anything abnormal?”
Catrin was about to speak when Martin winked at her. He then showed a smile and said: “Nothing unusual, junior, sorry to interrupt.”
“The academy may get attacked by demonic creatures recently. Don’t run around, especially for you first year students. Be careful.”
“If you find anything abnormal or strange, report it to the teacher and patrol team immediately!”
“But with junior’s strength, you should be able to protect yourself.”
While saying that, Martin looked at Chu He with a meaningful gaze.
“Would you like some drinks?” Chu He asked as he took out a few bottles of fruit juice from the fridge and handed them to the patrolmen.
Katrine did not refuse. She took the fruit juice and said sweetly, “Thank you.”
Then, she left Chu He’s dormitory.
After walking more than ten meters away, Katrine asked in confusion, “Senior Martin, why didn’t you let me ask?”
“His room has the aura of black magic!”
Martin lowered his voice and explained.
“Could he be… black magic…?” Catrin was alarmed.
“No,” Martin shook his head, “Although there are traces of black magic in the room, there are also traces of fire elemental magic.”
“If I’m not wrong, this junior’s cultivation isn’t low at all!”
“He is a Fire Mage?” Katrine asked curiously.
“Most likely, yes.” Martin affirmed: “He is also likely to have reached the Elementary Mage level.”
“Elementary Mage!” Katrine was a little surprised.
A first-year student should have awakened his magic power less than a year ago, but he had already become an Elementary Mage?
This level was not low, it showed that his talent was astonishing.
“Why didn’t you point it out earlier?”
“This junior should have his own secrets. It’s better not to expose him yet. However, we need to report the matter of the demonic creature being destroyed to our leader.”
