Chapter 259: Preparing For The Mission
His head was a little foggy and the world was slowly balancing, slowly coming to a stop after a few seconds and his sensation returned to him.
He could strangely feel his head was laid on something soft and something was gently shuffling his air, causing him to direct his attention upwards, his gaze meeting that of a purple-colored eyes.
“Instructor Moneca?” Zeras mumbled, struggling to sit up properly, but soon dropped back as a groan of pain escaped his lips.
“Don’t struggle too much, you are gravely injured than you think…” Instructor Moneca cautioned as the pain slowly receded.
“How long has it been?” He suddenly asked.
“Its been a little more than an entire day. Currently, afternoon as we speak…” Instructor Moneca said, her lips parting in slight shock as she watched Zeras forcefully jerk his body upwards from his sitting position, resting his back on the sofa.
Looking at his body, Zeras could see it was bandaged at some point, especially around his head and stomach, but he could feel it was quickly closing up once he woke up.
[Congratulations, Host has completed the quest: Survive From A Middle Cosmic rank stage Shadow devil][Rewards:
1.) +5000EXP
2.) +2 Ability Upgrade Card
3.)+1 Level Up card]
‘Upgrade Regeneration once.’ Zeras ordered in his head.
[Congratulations, regeneration has been upgraded]
Immediately, Zeras felt his rate of recovery increased by double, and he estimated he would be back to a hundred percent less than ten hours from now.
Slowly standing up on both feet, with much struggle…
“Thank you, Instructor Moneca. I’ll do my best to repay you for your help one day…” Zeras said before turning towards the exit and moving out.
“Zeras?” Instructor Moneca suddenly called as he paused in his feet.
“You sure you can walk back to your dorm room in that state?” Instructor Moneca asked, her, voiced laced with slight worry. She was well aware of how severe his wounds were and him standing up already shocked her speechless.
“Yes!”
“And you don’t want to talk about what happened before?”
“I’ll be fine!” He replied curtly before clenching open the door knob.
“Also that devil…” Instructor Moneca began before suddenly getting cut off by Zeras.
“He escaped, didn’t he?” Zeras asked, drawing silence from her, which was an approval.
“Good!” And immediately, the door was shut closed, leaving only Instructor Moneca in the medium-sized room filled with rows and rows of books.
Instructor Moneca turned, her hands reaching for the book up above as she picked it up and open the page to began reading but soon closed it up.
“It affected him more than I thought, it’ll take sometime for him to recover from that…”
She muttered out loudly, looking at Zera’s footsteps where blood droplets could be seen on the ground.

Zeras finally arrived at his dorm room, a vein popping on his forehead and his teeth grinding against each other as he opened the door and entered into the place.
Immediately locking it shut, his back slid down the door as his body spasmed crazily due to pain and shock, a blood droplets rolling out from the side of his mouth.
The memories of the fight appeared in his head as he eyes flashed a deep crimson.
—-
“You’re no genius at all! Before the really strong. Your a disposable piece of trash!”
“You think you’re everything when in essence the really strong look at you with a mocking smirk on their faces.”
“Look at you, pathetic looking in all realms of it. You couldn’t even make me use even a quarter of my strength! Hahahaha.”
“You’re too prideful and also arrogant!”
—-
Those words haunted him even with his eyes closed as the memories of his pathetic self getting stepped on the head while he laid there unable to do nothing played repeatedly in his head.
CRIIIINK
The sound of teeth grinding tightly against each other echoed throughout the room as Zera’s fingernails dugged into his palms drawing flesh blood from it as his heart pumped madly in his chest, a sense of uselessness appearing in his head which soon turned into billowing anger.
“I swear to the devil. Even if you died and went to hell, I’ll chase you to the very end of it and crush your head beneath my feet.” Zeras forced out from within the gaps of his teeth.
It was the first time he had ever lost so pathetically. He couldn’t even resist before all his energy and Mana was immediately sucked dry.
But although he might have lost, and that would forever be a scar etched in his deepest fiber, he promised to return the humiliation, a thousand-fold.
Slowly rising from the door and moving to his sofa, he looked at his watch, checking the time, and it was just as Instructor Moneca said, it was currently around 3 PM.
“The Mission will begin early tomorrow. I’ll have to be carefully prepared by then,” Zeras muttered before dipping his hands into his spatial ring as three objects appeared on the table.
A dark earring, a pair of white-blue boots and a white haori inscribed in blue patterns.
“Activate System Scan…” Zeras ordered, directing his gaze to the objects.
[Error. System Scan is currently unable to scan non-living objects.]
The golden panel appeared in front of his eyes as he looked at it before ordering:
“Upgrade System Scan…” Zeras ordered using his last ability upgrade card.
[Congratulations, System Scan upgraded.]
[System Scan-Level 2]
[Access the basic information of living and non-living objects]
And immediately he turned his gaze towards the first object.
[Object Found]
