The Sorcery Academy: I am Invincible After Getting Treasure Chests Everyday - Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Why Are You Looking For Your Father!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy quickly announced that it was going to hold an internal academy tournament to select students to participate in the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.

This news was like a sudden clap of thunder, causing all the students to become restless.

Who wouldn’t want to be the champion of the sorcery competition?

Students of any age could participate in this competition.

This was because the actual battle did not depend on whose grade was higher but on who had the greatest capability and talent to use magic to fight.

This kind of talent was innate. Even though some people had high magic power and had grasped a variety of spells, they were unable to even display 10% of their strength once they were put on a battlefield.

It was the same for the sorcery competition.

It was a place where parties used magic to determine the victor in a fight till death.

Some students who lacked mental fortitude would inevitably be nervous and have their performance affected.

The success rate of using magic spells was closely related to the individual’s mental state.

This was also why sorcerers often meditated.

This was because meditation could allow one to maintain a stable mentality. The calmer a sorcerer was, the easier it was for him to use magic.

Only the untalented sorcerer rookies would think that they could use magic as long as they chanted the right verse.

Sorcery was not as simple as it seems.

Mastering it required painstaking learning and hard work to grasp its principles and understand its composition.

A fool could not learn sorcery.

This was also a famous saying passed down in the sorcery academy.

Those who could enter the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy were unwilling to admit that they were mediocre.

Therefore, when the news came out, countless people intensified their studies and practice in magic. They all hoped to be able to showcase their skills in the competition and obtain the qualifications to compete in the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.

There was only one exception while all the students in the entire academy were working hard to practice magic.

That was Linley Bart. He didn’t have to worry about learning any spells at all.

As long as he searched for the treasure chests located around him and opened them, he would be able to increase his magic power, spiritual power, and even his elemental affinity.

This allowed him to obtain powerful attributes without training or meditation.

He had also obtained some strange spells while opening the treasure chests. For example, a spell that could expand and shrink a certain part of his body, a spell that could help him see further, a spell that could make his fingers shine…

These spells were very special, but they were not very useful.

However, opening the treasure chests was always a pleasant surprise.

“Congratulations to the host for successfully opening a Bronze Treasure Chest and obtaining a pair of magic gloves.”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully opening a Silver Treasure Chest and obtaining a source of magic power.”

“Congratulations to the host for successfully opening a Golden Treasure Chest and obtaining the magic skill: Reaper’s Smile.”

These items and skills were all very useful to Linley Bart.

The magic glove could ignore any obstacle and allow his hands to pass through them, allowing him to obtain the items he desired even if it was blocked or out of reach.

For example, he could reach into other people’s treasure chests.

This treasure chest wasn’t the one only Linley could see. It was their safe where they kept their valuables.

No matter how strong the safe was or how many locks there were, he could reach in and take the items he desired using the pair of magic gloves.

As for the source of magic power, it was even more powerful. It was capable of allowing Linley Bart to quickly recover his magic power. No matter how many times he used it, he would be able to quickly recover. Coupled with his ability to instantly cast spells, Linley Bart didn’t have any restrictions at all.

He could use magic indefinitely.

Of course, the upper limit of his current magic power was not enough, thus he could only use low-level spells.

If he used advanced spells, his magic power would still be consumed very quickly.

But because he had the source of magic power, he could recover faster.

“Magic Skill: Reaper’s Smile.” This ability was activated by making a mere smile. When the opponent saw the smile, it would cause them to feel like they were looking at the Grim Reaper. There was a 1% chance that the opponent would die immediately.

If he did not die immediately, he would also lose his mobility due to the terror of death.

Reaper’s Smile could only be activated once a day.

This was the result of Linley’s continuous search for treasure chests.

These treasure chests were randomly distributed all over the academy. The other students all felt that Linley Bart was a bit strange. He just ran around all day without attending any classes.

Sometimes, he would be very happy. However, sometimes, he would be digging the ground.

Anyone who saw Linley would think that he was a very strange person. But after hearing that he had defeated Otto, no one dared to provoke him.

The day before the school tournament, Linley Bart was still searching for treasure chests.

But this time, he met two unexpected people.

One was Otto, and the other was Otto’s brother, Olin.

Otto was a first-year student and had the strength of an Apprentice Sorcerer.

On the other hand, Olin was a third-grade student and already had the status of an Elementary Sorcerer.

His strength could not be underestimated.

Otto felt extremely aggrieved. Not only was he had been defeated by Linley Bart, he even suffered a magical backlash, causing his ability to use magic to be greatly reduced.

It was certain that he would not be able to participate in the upcoming internal school tournament, much less the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.

His heart was filled with resentment. He had never been so angry since he was born. He could not bear it anymore and thus told his brother, Olin, about his loss.

When Olin heard that his younger brother was being bullied, he wanted to avenge his younger brother.

They had heard that Linley Bart, this hedonistic son of a wealthy family, had been roaming everywhere in the academy. Thus, they had come looking for him, wanting to avenge Otto.

“You were the one who injured my younger brother, Otto?” Olin’s voice was extremely stern. He wanted to scare Linley Bart.

But Linley Bart merely glanced at him and ignored him. He continued to dig for the treasure chest.

Olin, who had been ignored, was even more furious. “Are you digging your own grave? Rascal!”

Olin arrived in front of Linley and used magic to fill the hole he had dug.

“Don’t block my way!” Linley Bart frowned. He just wanted to dig out the treasure chest.

Why are these people always so annoying?

“You have to give my brother an explanation today.” Olin pushed his brother out from behind him. “Did he hit you?”

“Yes, that’s him!” Otto nodded. “Brother, you have to teach him a lesson for me. He’s that Bart’s son. If it weren’t for his father, our country wouldn’t have lost the war.”

“What? You’re Bart’s son?” Olin was shocked.

“That’s right. It’s me, your father.” Linley said. “Why are you looking for your father?”
