The Accidental Mage: Awakening of the Ordinary-Chapter 38: Date Or Code

The next day in the Academy, everyone was busy as it was the first day of the week were mostly people had a lot of work to do.

Aziel woke up first and went to meditate before taking a bath and brushed his teeth.

After all his preparations, Aziel left the room with all his friends still sleeping, and head directly to the Student Council Office to get back his bracelet. However, when he got into the office, it was still closed so he waited while scanning Apollo's huge statue in the hallway.

As he was scanning the statue, Aziel saw numbers inscribed beneath the statue's feet.

At first, Aziel thought that it was just the date when the statue was made.

But when he scans the numbers, it didn't make sense.

"Who crafted this masterpiece? Why did they put a date that doesn't make sense?"

"It's not a date."

Aziel jolted by a sudden voice that came from behind him.

Aziel turned and saw Claire Terra – the Student Council President.

"I'm sorry if I startled you, and sorry if I'm late. Do you want to come inside first as I prepare your bracelet?

"Yeah! Sigh"

Aziel sighed a huge breathe of relief.

"Woah! That's really deep, did I scare you that much?"

"Uhh. No, not really. Anyways, you seem lonely today, where are your goons?"

"Pft! They're not my goons."

Claire giggled as she answered.

"Oh really? But they look like one to me. Anyways, when you say that the numbers inscribed in the statue in not a date. What do you mean by that?"

Aziel changed the topic smoothly.

"My father used to say when I was a little kid, that when I get admitted into the Academy, I should be able to see the statue of Apollo, and I should be able to see the numbers written beneath it. He said that those are not date numbers. I've been in this school for three years, and I still couldn't figure out what those numbers meant."

Claire said as she hands Aziel's bracelet.

"The nuckelavee that you had slain has a greater aptitude towards magic that any of the nuckelavees caught before, so the points that you gain for slaying it was huge, I think with the points you have, you could sustain your life here in the Academy for a few months."

Claire added.

"Thank you for your hardwork. I'll take my leave now."

Aziel bowed his head and walked towards the door when suddenly Claire called him out.

"Uhh, hey. Are you busy later today? If you're curious about those numbers, we could look it up together."

Claire asked with her blushed face.

Aziel was thinking for a moment before answering.

"Hmmp, I think later this afternoon is my only free time, but I'm not completely sure if I could spare the whole afternoon because I was training my body and magic."

"No, that's perfectly fine. I will meet you in front of the statue after lunch, would you be fine with that?"

"Sure, thank you. I'll see you later."

Aziel opened the door and a very annoying familiar faces appeared in front of him.

"What... what are you doing here!?"

"What have you done to the president!? You sure have the balls, but I'm going to crush it!"

"Greetings."

Christine Reach, Catherine Lynx, and Vivian Violet simultaneously greeted Aziel.

"I just came by to get my points. Don't worry, your president is safe and wasn't hurt. Thank you for all your hardwork."

Aziel bowed his head and leave the room.

"Urgh! I really hate his guts!

Catherine said as she close the door.

Aziel walked down the hallway on his way back to his room when he met the other three going in the opposite direction.

"Yow Aziel where have you been!? I thought someone had abducted you."

Jake joyfully greeted Aziel.

"Rocky and Jake, from now on, I want you to activate your core all the time. I will be casting two types of magic into your body for a whole month, try to keep up with it. Because If you don't? Well there will be no food for you."

Aziel bragged his bracelet.

"Woah! You got your bracelet back. Shouldn't we celebrate it?"

Rocky had his smile from ear to ear.

"Why do you only torture us and doesn't include Damian, huh!? Explain yourself dude!"

Jake complain once again.

"It's because he is already strong, so torture doesn't really work on him. I had another thing for him, so don't worry about it."

Aziel winked at Jake.

"Tsk! whatever dude!"

Jake crossed his arms in distress.

"Anyways, let's go back to the room before we go to the cafeteria and grab breakfast."

"Alright, let's get this over with already! I'm a bit hungry already."

All four of them head back to their room and there Aziel casted 2 types of magic to Jake and Rocky's body.

"It's the same magic I had casted on your bodies but I made it a little stronger than before and I will also cast a sealing magic on you guys so that no one will know your true powers."

Damian nodded his head in agreement about Aziel's decision.

After Aziel casted magic to Jake and Rocky, the next one was Damian. He did the same thing to him but more intense.

Damian dropped on his knees after Aziel finished his casting.

"I really hate you for this Aziel!"

Damian struggled to stand.

"I want to clarify to everyone that the magic you're experiencing right now can only be felt by yourselves alone. Any external entity or object won't be affected by it, unlike in the past. I made this possible for you guys to train your body regularly without even trying to train, and this way I can monitor and regulate your training even when I'm not around."

Everyone left the room and went to the cafeteria.

Everyone are walking normally except Damian, he looks like a kind of someone with a back problem, and he is walking slowly than the rest.

Every student they come across would either laugh, gossip, or point out his posture.

"Hey, what's wrong with your friend?"

"Is he ill?"

"He looks young to have a back problem."

And the one that's enjoying most of it was Jake. He was happy that someone finally felt the humiliation that he had experience.

"That's okay dude!"

Jake who was suppressing his laugh and holding his stomach, struggles to talk.

"Shut it! I will make sure that you will experience this heavy feeling as well, Jake."

Damian felt indifferent about the humiliation, what his problem is the heaviness of his body.

"Damian, by the end of the week, I want to see you moving normally. While Jake and Rocky, your goal is to show me that you are ready to inherit my gift. That is all your goal for this week. If you can't show any progress in a week, your training for the next week will be twice harder."

Rocky, Jake, and Damian was left standing in the hallway with their jaws on the floor.

"What? I thought you guys are hungry?"

Aziel said, looking back to his friends.

"That was so unreasonable! Do you want us to die?"

Jake exclaimed in frustration.

"Jake, like I said, this training will be your responsibility. I will make you guys stronger, without you worrying for your food. And I promise, you will not die, Jake. But if you stay contented to your current strength, I can't promise your life as well."

"He is right Jake. Why did I only realized it now?"

Damian forcefully straighten his posture. Using all his energy, he manage to stand straight but he still struggles to walk normally.

After walking for almost 30 minutes, they finally arrived at the cafeteria, and everyone was already sweating bullets when they came inside. Fortunately, the cafeteria seem quiet when they arrived.

"What happened to you guys? You're already drenched in sweat at this time of the day?"

"Just a little training Miss Edith. Anyways, where is everyone?"

Aziel noticed the quietness in the cafeteria.

"Oh that? Well, you all know that starting today, the food and everything else isn't free anymore, right? Well, most of the students left the Academy to hunt for beasts. I even thought you guys went to hunt as well."

"Is that the reason why you guys didn't cook food that much?"

Jake inserted in the conversation. He's a little disappointed that there was only a little food available.

"Uhh, yes. That's the main reason why we only cook little food. But if you want, we can cook for more and just serve it directly after."

"Yes, let's do that."

"Dude, stop ordering people as if you were the boss of the place."

Rocky said while rolling his eyes.

"What did you say!?"

Aziel covered Jake's mouth before he could shout.

"We would like to do that, please."

Aziel smiled to Edith and paid right away.

Everyone head to their favorite spot and waited for the food to be served.
