My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

A year had passed since Jake and the rest had entered Aurora Academy. This meant it was time for them to become second years at the academy. They were still required to go through their basic Combat training and weapons training. During the combat training last year after the werewolf incident, many students fought for the rank 4 position since Ben was dead.

So many duels happened, some of them even went as far as challenging Jack, Peter and Sophia but they were unable to best them therefore allowing them to keep their position as the top three among the first years. With the year ending, the final season of winter had come. The snow deepened and massive icicles appeared on buildings.

Not all students actually made it to the end. Some had found it quite hard and daunting especially after hearing of the werewolf's attack during the earlier beast hunt. While some unruly ones, broke the rules therefore earning them an expulsion from the academy.

Most of the information Jake and his friends knew about Aurora, was being received by one person and that was Vynn. He was like their own personal bulletin board. He knew almost all the information about Aurora, the rankings and even the shift and change of the power levels.

Meanwhile, Cindy ever since that day at the beast hunt, she was now closely knitted with the roomies. It was like she was now their seventh roommate by spending more time in their room than hers. Due to the training, and his daily quest, Jake had grown more bigger and muscular and his sword skills were now much more than decent.

Jake was now more than a match for Peter but he wasn't still on Jack's level because of the use of Qi but that will all change now that they were in the second year because, they will all be taught Qi when they got to second year. The power rankings between the roommates had changed over the years.

Currently, Jake was now the new number 4 of the academy, Kate was the new rank 5, Cindy rank, 6, Vynn rank 10 while Peter, Jake and Sophia still held their previous rank. Ever since the day of the beast hunt, Jake hadn't receive any major quest from the system again but he was still keeping up with his daily quest and leveling up nicely but over the years, the XP bar had further increased therefore letting Jake hit a bottle neck in terms of leveling up or gaining new skills.

Currently, Jake's status was..

****************************

While his skills remained the same without receiving any new skills. Today was a weekend, so Jake decided to go out into town. He hadn't gotten any chance to do that because of everything that happened and what happened in town the last time but now he was finally ready to go because he was capable enough to protect himself.

When going to town, Jake took his basic tier katana blade with him along. After the beast hunt, they all shared the crystals between each other equally so currently, the whole team each had a basic tier weapon. Jake left his dorm with a destination in mind. When he got to the gate, he was told to scan his watch by the soldiers to confirm he was a student and they also asked where he was headed and the reason.

After a few hours of walking, Jake finally got to the town. He noticed it looked a little different with more buildings and less ruins. As he walked pass, he saw the happy smiles on the children faces and some of the adults. Then he walked a bit more to the library.

Jake entered a big building that was used as the library. Inside, he could see rows and rows of wooden shelves filled with different type of books. Picking the books he wanted to read, Jake went towards a table and sat down then he started reading. The book currently in his hand, was a technique book. A book about swords and basic techniques.

Jake read the book for thirty minutes straight and then he closed it up. 'This book is just teaching about what I already know I need something else.' Jake thought as he opened up another book to read.

After skimming through the book for a few minutes, there was now a smile on his face for this book had a little better technique. He kept on reading it word for word and image for image till he could remember it by heart. After two hours of reading, Jake decided to head out of the library.

He wanted to explore the town better and possibly get some things on his way back. He kept on looking at all the different stalls and then he spotted a beautiful necklace in one of the stall. It was glistening like a diamond. Jake walked towards it and was staring at it then an image of Kate appeared in his mind. This necklace will definitely suit her.

"I see, that's quite an excellent choice you got there young man." The man behind the stall said. "I guarantee you, this necklace will be perfect for whoever you put on."

Jake wasn't even listening to the man's ramblings he just picked up the necklace and looked at it properly then he smiled. 'This is perfect, I know she will surely like it.'

"How much does it cost?" Jake asked.

"150 credits." The man replied.

'Yikes, that's quite a lot.' Jake thought looking down at his watch that displayed the balance of 600. Jake would have had more credits if it wasn't for the game.

Over the years that Jake played the game a lot, thankfully he hadn't encountered Jim probably because he was busy or something. Meanwhile, the man was getting impatient at Jake.

"Will you buy it or not?" The man asked with a little bit of anger in his voice.

Jake decided to suck up his complaints about the lack of money and decided to pay for it.

"I will take it."

'wait, I didn't say that.' Jake thought as he turned around to look at who said that.

When Jake turned around, he could see a young beautiful female in a flowing red gown with a body guard of some sort beside her.

"But I picked it up first." Jake said.

"It doesn't matter." The girl turned towards the stall owner. "I'm gonna pay you 200 credits for that."

The man's eyes were now quite greedy as he went to snatch the necklace from Jake but Jake quickly moved his hands away and then turned to the girl. "I'm gonna pay 300 credits for the necklace."

The girl now smiled and turned towards the stall owner. "How about 800 credits. Final offer."

The man's eyes were now showing money signs on it. Meanwhile Jake just kept his head down he knew he didn't have enough money to compete with that. He lost both the bidding war and the necklace. The stall owner just snatched the necklace from Jake's hand as he went to wrap it up for the female. Meanwhile Jake was already walking off.

'I need to earn more credits and I think I know how to.' Jake thought as he left to head towards one more building before he left the town which is, The Guild hall.
