I Just want a Peaceful life

Chapter 14: Manual Battle

First year student of Heart Royal Academy.

Angus found its description enemy with the average strength of first year students. Need to be beaten first in the manual battle before could be selected as an opponent in automatic battle.

There is a new function called manual battle. After thinking about it and using his knowledge about idle games in his past, he concludes that he needs to beat this opponent in battle by himself first before he could use them in automatic battle.

Angus speculated that this new opponent appeared after he witnessed some first year students during the test ceremony.

'Hmm… Now, I need a place to fight this opponent without being found. Let's see… how about here.' He locks his door and punches the wall with some of his strength.

Looking that it didn't leave a dent despite only being made of wood, he was satisfied with the result and doing some light stretching. After getting ready, he opens his host chart to check his status.

Host: Angus Victory

Age: 8 Years Old

MP: 15/15

Strength: 5

Dexterity: 5

Intelligence: 7

Vitality: 9

Soul Point: 1

'Yosh, time to get some exercise after a long time.' Angus felt quite excited having an opponent after a long time.

Despite Angus pursuing towards knowledge in this life, he is still a true martial expert that loves battle and challenge. If not because his dream is to have a peaceful life, he already challenges anyone that he saw interesting.

Then, he chooses the manual battle selection. The moment he chooses it a holographic panel appears, "You will enter a manual battle with the First year of Heart royal academy. Yes or No"

Angus chose yes without hesitation. As soon as he chooses yes, he arrives in a huge room in white. In front of him there is a black humanoid creature with red eyes. contemporary romance

Despite his child body like an 8 years old, Angus could feel its bloodlust that wanted to kill him. Feeling such a bloodlust after a long time, he only replies with a smirk.

Then, a holographic announcement appeared in the air.

Battle begins at 5.. 4.. 3.. 2.. 1.. Fight.

The moment it begins, the black humanoid kid charges towards Angus madly and punches at him rapidly. But, Angus already predicted all of its clumsy attack before counterattack it with his own punch at its face.

The humanoid creature flew from Angus's punch far away before trying to get up weakly. "Come on, is that all you got?" Taunting Angus.

Like it could understand Angus, it looks at him angrily and points its hand toward Angus before creating balls of fire. [1st circle - fire bolt].

Balls of fire fly toward him at fast speed. Angus already read its trajectory and only used minimal moves to avoid them while fast approaching the humanoid creature.

Angus could see that the humanoid creature became weaker after casting the spell. Feeling that this is the end, Angus gathered his mana in his fist and blew off its head to end its suffering.

Although Angus is a peace loving person, he never goes mercy towards his opponent as it also means an act to hurt himself or his loved ones. So, Angus is becoming another person when he enters this life and death battle.

The moment Angus killed the black humanoid creature, he got an announcement panel, "Congratulations winning against First year of Hearth Royal Academy. Winning time 1minute 56seconds." [System]

"The automatic battle against First year of Hearth Royal Academy is available with expected time of 1minute 56seconds" [System]

"Do you want to repeat the manual battle to achieve better winning time? Warning: The battle time cannot be lower than 1 second. Yes or No" [System]

'Huft… That's anti-climatic. Well, what do I expect from the first year's average strength.'

"Hmm… So there is also winning time. I just want to test the strength of those things first but if I can decrease the time it will be much better."

Angus chooses to battle with the black humanoid things again. But, the moment it starts Angus uses all his strength to propel himself and end its life with a single powerful punch.

After doing that, Angus breathed roughly because use almost all of his mana in his decisive attack.

'Huff.. Huff.. It's been a long time since I feel this kind of fatigued. Guess I need to increase my mana more' While Angus begins to use his breathing rhythm and check his winning time.

Winning Time: 1.8 second

'Well, I guess that is my best for the current me.' As Angus chooses No selection and exits the space.

Angus found himself back in his room with only five minutes' time passed by since he did the manual battle. Then, he checks his system again and finds some first year students also have a function of manual battle with their percentage of winning.

As Angus checks more about the opened student, Angus didn't forget to choose First year of Hearth Royal Academy in his automatic battle and give him 0.000016 soul points every 1.8 second.

It means he will get around 1 point each day which is a huge boost compared to before. He also found that he could only do manual battle students that he knew some part of their strength like in the first year case.

It means the more Angus witnesses someone capabilities the more available opponent he could challenge in manual battle.

'Damn.. I really become stronger just by doing nothing if this case continues.' Thought Angus while closing his system panel and continued doing his training routine until late night.

The next morning, Angus attended his class at the nearby field as today is Combat Training. It's course is similar to what teacher Andria teaches during his three years being tutored. But, they also teach how to use spells in combat properly.

At the first lesson after a few light stretches, Teacher Elis holds some small tourney to gauge the class strength which Angus thought was troublesome but also an opportunity to witness her classmate's strength and open their manual battle selection.

To increase competitiveness and motivate the students to give their all, the teacher also awarded ten points towards the winner. Since the group has an odd number, one student will get a chance to have less fight.

But, the class student that consists of kids wants to show off his/her power by fighting more so the reserved seat leaves with Angus as he really didn't want to fight at all.

Soon, the match starts with princess Jayna against one of Angus's classmates called Burke. The match started one sided as Burke didn't want to hurt the 4th prince and could only defend or dodged.

"Tch.. Fight me like a man or I am going to beat you more!" Command the princess

Because of this Burke began to make more mistakes during his defense and got knocked out by the hardened princess fist.

The second match is between a boy called Hugo and a girl called Wylda.
