The Evolving Stealth System Chapter 60: Ice Tempest Arts

[Ding! Hosts body also seems to be reacting to the camp fire…. Levels of cortisol are increasing to unsuitable levels, and… it appears that the garvin hobgoblins were carrying a demon spell manual…]

[Ding!]

"What… what did you say system…?" Duncan stared at the underwater fire, and the ripples waved and twisted until his heartbeat started sounding like a drum…

Levana looked at him with tears in her eyes, and… he no longer saw her…

She went up to him as Phoenix blocked her from his path…

He didn't trust her yet, and Duncan's heart raced faster and faster…

"Nyla… Nyla… is that you?"

Duncan's eyes fluttered open and closed and open again...

Finally, Nyla, laughed and held out her hand as they passed around papers in the academy…

"Hmph, the top student can't seem to stop falling asleep…" Nyla smiled as the teacher sparred with one of the students…

They were in a sparring session at the royal hill capital gymnasium, and the teacher played the part of the demon in a square ring… If you were brave, you could fight the 'demon' for a A in the class, and… Nyla helped Duncan up after he fell asleep during cultivation…

"Sorry… I… I saw my sister again in my sleep…" Duncan yawned and Nyla squinted her eyes at him in disbelief…

"Hmmm, yup…. Your lying… what were you really dreaming about?" Duncan laughed and he dreamed about her truthfully,, but he looked up at her and yawned again…

He saw her beautiful eyes…

Those lips were against his lips in his dream, and… that student fighting the teacher bounced against the floor into the wall…

As for the rest of the students, they stared at Duncan with looks of longing….

Why was he not fighting the teacher, and why did he never take them out for food?

He always worked hard to the point of madness… so hard that Nyla found it odd that he fell asleep…

"Heh… I'm looking at my dream…" Duncan muttered and kicked himself up as the teacher floated down by his feet…

A second ago, he just received a paper from the office, and he laughed seeing his two top students talking to each other...

He handed Duncan, his best student, a paper, and also handed his second best student Nyla a paper…

"Here… you two are dismissed… just got this from the office… take a sword from the armory and… Duncan you have drool on your mouth…" The teacher giggled and flew off before donning the demon mask again…

A second later, one brave student turned down an offer to battle the demon teacher, and Duncan ended up going outside to the mountains with Nyla because of that mission…

They suspected a demon fallout according to some reports from unnamed sources…

The sky, at this time, seemed darker than black, and a few holes of sunlight rippled like the waves of owls humming as Duncan looked into Nyla's eyes…

"You… you're staring at me too much…" Nyla put her sword against Duncan's blade…. "Tell you what… if you beat me in a duel… I'll grant you one wish…"

She smiled at him, and Duncan suddenly realized this was a dream to his dismay…

Right… In front of him Phoenix went flying away, and Levana pat him on the back…

"I… I want to take you out on a date…" Duncan whispered out loud as Levana laughed seeing him wake up…

[Ding! Host has regained consciousness and still hasn't answered if he'd like to see the demon spell manual, Ice Tempest Arts…]

"Sorry system… I had a flash back…"

[Ding!]

[System notices a strange pattern with hosts vitals, and… host is recommended to increase level fast in order to reduce flash backs… Hence, there is fifteen warzones between the battle ground and hosts current location…]

"I… I really didn't mind the flash back system… they're not a bad thing…"

[Ding! System recommends leveling up to at least level 40 by the end of the week to mitigate symptoms… According to vitals, host found the experience very unpleasant…]

"I… I actually enjoyed that flashback system… It was right before I asked her out to the farm… and… please store that skill book in inventory…" Duncan got up and smiled at Levana as she squinted at him…

"Oh… so I guess you have baggage too… Anyway, I want my Wormy…! It's been 8 minutes!" She laughed as Duncan waved his hand and Wormy came out…

As for Phoenix, he walked back with a few of the hobgoblin bodies, and… handed Duncan the skill book Ice tempest arts, which was followed up by one alive hobgoblin…

Duncan smiled seeing this, and Levana squashed his head causing Duncan to scream in agony!

"I-I… I have baggage… yes… However… did you really have to kill that hobgoblin?"

He watched blood ooze out her foot, and they began talking for a few more minutes as Wormy packed some food, and Phoenix stayed in range of Levana…

He couldn't let his master get hurt!

Levana started talking to him, and they became friends…

As for Duncan, he finally found a few death sea horses, and… they took a few days to make it to the next Hora Garvin Sea Tribe location…

Luckily, he didn't have anymore flashbacks, and a slaughter mission activated as soon as he entered into the territory…
