Hunter Academy: Revenge of the Weakest novel Chapter 325

Chapter 325 77.2 - Mine

"How was it?"

On the outside of the rubbles, slightly rising, Asher raised his head, looking at the heiress he was trying to impress.

"….."

Taylor watched the scene with her cold eyes without responding. Though inwardly, she was feeling satisfied.

As Asher awaited Taylor's response, a slight tension crept into his demeanor, his eagerness to please her mingling with uncertainty. Did she find his efforts lacking? Was there something she disliked about his actions?

Taylor observed Asher's subtle shift in posture, her cold eyes betraying no emotion outwardly. However, inwardly, she felt a sense of satisfaction. "This guy is not bad," she thought to herself, impressed by Asher's usefulness and his ability to assert their dominance over others like Astron.

'But, he is a bit of a chicken, and this is a lot better.' Sensing Asher's tension, Taylor couldn't help but feel a surge of power wash over her. She held the upper hand in these types of dynamics, able to influence his emotions with a mere glance or word, and she was addicted to it.

It had been like this from the start, in any case.

With a small chuckle, she decided to alleviate his anxiety. fгeewebnovёl.com

"No, you did well," she said, her voice calm yet authoritative. "There's nothing to dislike."

Relief flooded over Asher as he heard Taylor's reassurance, his tense muscles relaxing as he realized he had succeeded in earning her approval.

'This crazy woman is like bipolar. I can't read her at all.' Grateful for her 'acknowledgment,' he nodded slightly, a sense of calm warming his heart. But then again, it was only temporary as he heard her following words.

"Now, enter there and mine me some stones."

As Asher looked at Taylor, he noticed a subtle grin playing on her lips as she spoke. Her words carried a hint of authority, an order disguised as a request. Top of FormIt was like she was saying, from now on, you will be in my command.

"I-"

Just as he was about to say something, Taylor threw another provocation his way. "I guess you can't do it," she remarked casually, her tone taunting. "I thought this trait of yours enabled you to interact with the earth to blast this tunnel?"

Her words hit Asher like a slap in the face, as she had implied that it was obvious who made this tunnel like this.

'Sigh….I underestimated this woman's craziness.' Sighing inwardly, he thought, shaking his head. And then he accepted his fate…..

"This tunnel is quite long."

I thought to myself, looking around. Now that I had been trapped in this place, I couldn't do anything other than walk deeper.

Of course, the situation I was in wasn't something grave. For miners, there is always the possibility of tunnels collapsing and them being trapped. Therefore, the academy had already given us the necessary tools to call them in case such a thing happened.

"Though it will affect our grades."

Calling the academy means that you are unable to solve your own problems as a Hunter, and this will result in a reduction of one's grades. Of course, there are exceptions to this rule, as there are some situations that are beyond the scope of a student.

It will also affect one's reputation. This was likely why Taylor had done such a thing, as she wanted me to get a negative grade on this assignment.

'Childish games.'

With that thought, I continued my walk, observing the cave. Finding magic stones is not that hard if you have the necessary features under you.

"Mana Observation is probably the most fundamental method to utilize."

Normally, [Mana Observation], which was one of the most important advanced techniques for a hunter, would be utilized here.

However, from the moment my [Perceptive Insight] had evolved and increased its rank, I no longer needed to use it. It was already engraved in my subconsciousness, my brain doing it on its own.

Though I needed a blocker for it, after closing the mental switch I had constructed in my head, the mana veins immediately became visible in front of my eyes.

'The color of the Magic Stones represents the attribute of psions stored, and the radiance of it represents the density. However, I need to learn something to classify the density of mana stones. But I need to get more and more closer to it.' Magic stones are basically chunks of mana veins that have gathered around some point. They are also called 'Nodes,' which are the intersection points of those veins.

'It represents the human body. I wonder if this whole planet can be considered a living being with all these mana veins and magic Stones. With the existence of mana, maybe it even has its own will.' While observing, everything was fine, but the information was basically overwhelming. Seeing all these mana veins and trying to discern their intersection was too hard to continuously do that.

It was mentally taxing.

'This should be the reason why not many human detectors like me are not hired. We lack a machine's consistency.'
