Chapter 17 17 - Hierarchy II

When seeing the A rank glowing brightly on his holo, the bullies all started to back away, before running away screaming they were sorry. All while leaving their unconscious friend lying between Milo, Krista and the other student. After thanking Milo and Krista for helping him, the student went back to his dorm.

After the bullies and student left, Milo checked on Krista to make sure she was okay. He was especially worried because some of the bullies seemed strong.

"I'm fine," Krista said, "you don't have to worry about me. More importantly, are you okay? You look like you wanted to kill the dick laying on the ground over there."

Milo nodded his head, "I'm fine, it just pissed me off, at first I was going to stay out of it since there were three of them against one, but then you jumped in the middle and looked like you were going to get hit."

When hearing that Milo only got involved to rescue her, Krista began to blush. "You didn't have to do that, I'm tougher than I look, more importantly, why did they run away?"

"Maybe it had to do with this?" Milo replied, holding up his holo.

When Krista saw the A glowing on Milo's holo she was shocked, "You got A rank? How? I thought you just learned how to use the frost ability?"

Milo went on to explain how the tests went, and because his reinforce ability didn't show any changes to his body, he could use it during the strength test which boosted his score. What surprised Krista most though was his Magic Power test score.

"How was your score for Magic Power so high?" Krista asked.

"Honestly I'm not sure, but it seemed like it took into account my intelligence stat and my magic power stat from the system," replied Milo.

"Magic Power stat?" asked Krista, "When I look at my status screen on my holo I don't have that stat."

This was news to Milo, yet another new difference between him and normal awakened. Now his only thing to find out was how to actually raise his Magic Power stat. The system stated using Essence stones would allow him to raise it, but he didn't have access to those yet. It stated there was another method but he was unsure what that meant. Navi also stated that by raising his magic stat he would unlock more on his Plunder tab in his status screen and grow his system so it was important to raise it as soon as he could.

After talking a bit more about the test, Milo mentioned he wanted to go up to his room and rest, but first he had to do his daily mission. One workout session later and after raising his stats he made his way up to his room drenched in sweat.
