I JUST WANT A PEACEFUL LIFE

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 being selected as an automatic battle opponent."

There is a new function called a 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 before could select them in an automatic battle.

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

The wall didn't even dent despite only being made of wood. He was satisfied with the result and did 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 about having an opponent after a long time.

Despite Angus's tendency to pursue knowledge in this life, he is still a martial expert who loves battle and challenge. If not because his dream is to have a peaceful life, he already challenges anyone he sees as interesting.

Then, he chooses the manual battle selection. A holographic panel appears the moment he chooses it, "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 massive room in white. In front of him, there is a black humanoid creature with red eyes.

Angus could feel the strong bloodlust that wanted to kill him from it. Feeling such a bloodlust after a long time, he only replies with a smirk.

Then, a holographic announcement appeared in the air.

The 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 attacks before counterattack it with his 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 - firebolt].

Balls of fire flying toward him at fast speed. Angus already read its trajectory and only used minimal moves to avoid them while keeping 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, feeling that this is the end.

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 the First year of Hearth Royal Academy. Winning time 1minute 56seconds." [System]

"The automatic battle against the First year of Hearth Royal Academy is available with the 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 it will be much better if I can decrease the time."

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 he uses almost all of his mana in his decisive attack.

'Huff.. Huff.. It's been a long time since I felt this kind of fatigue. Guess I need to increase my mana more from the start.' At the same time, Angus begins to use his breathing rhythm and check his winning time.

Winning Time: 1.8 seconds

'Well, I guess that is my best for the current me.' thought Angus.

Then, he chooses No selection and exits the white room.

Angus found himself back in his room with around five minutes passed by since he did the manual battle. Then, he rechecks his system and finds some other first-year students also could become his opponent with a percentage of winning.

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

It means he will get around 0,5 points each day which is a considerable boost compared to before. He also found that he could only do manual battles with students that he knew their strength, like first-year students.

It means the more Angus witnesses someone's capabilities, the more available opponents he could challenge in manual battle.

'Damn.. I will 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 at night.

The following day, Angus attended his class at the nearby field as today is Combat Training. Its 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.

After a few light stretches and warm-ups, Teacher Elis holds a small tourney to gauge the student's strength.

Angus found this kind of practice troublesome and, at the same time, an opportunity to witness her classmate's strength and open their manual battle selection.

The teacher also awarded ten points towards the winner to increase competitiveness and motivated the students to give their all. Since the class has an odd number, one student will get a chance to have fewer fights.

But, the class consisting of kids wants to show off their power by fighting more, so the reserved seat leaves with Angus as he didn't want to fight a lot.

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 princess and could only defend or dodged.

"Tch.. Fight me like a man, or I am going to beat you more!" yelled 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 named Wylda.
