The Copy Mage

Chapter 159: 6 Difficult Missions

Damian trained for the rest of the day and he hadn't gotten much closer to harmonising his Internal and External Cultivation, but his training session had went well and he was beginning to improve.

He was able to use his Internal Energy to increase his physical power by a small amount, but he still hadn't reached a level where he could completely harmonise and substitute between both cultivation types, but his cultivation was still fast.

From then on, he would no longer have to use his Internal Energy to reinforce and enhance his physical body by much as his External Cultivation was powerful, so instead, he could use it for ranged and or powerful attacks.

After he had finished training for the day, Damian went to the canteen and ate his third free meal of the day, then headed straight to the Mission Hall.

One of the best and fastest ways to improve and surpass one's limits was through combat and Damian also had to reach the amount of contribution points necessary to take the Inner Student Test.

On his way there, he couldn't help but remember the beautiful image of that girl that was in the carriage and he was also curious and worried about whether she was safe, as Damian hadn't been able to hold back the assassins for long.

However, he didn't think about it for too much as he had tried his best to help her and even sacrificed his life to do so, which was worth much more than the contribution points that he was paid for the mission.

All he could do was hope and believe that she had made it back safely and also hope and believe that they would meet again in the future.

Reaching the mission hall that was closest to his residence, Damian went inside and was greeted by the familiar Academy helper that worked there.

He briefly greeted her before heading to the wall where the missions were hung, not wanting to waste any time.

Damian was looking for a hunting mission that was challenging, short and rewarding so that he could increase his own power and combat experience, while also earning the necessary contribution points needed to be eligible for the Inner Academy Test.

He would also gain some beast meat that he could either sell for money or get cooked so that he could eat it, which was usually very tasty and very beneficial for his body.

Most of the hunting missions were quite far away from the academy since the academy was near the centre of a city, and because of that, Damian was looking for missions that were all in similar areas.

There were quite a few different famous areas around the Gobe Country borders that beasts could be found in and that was the furthest that most cultivators within the Gobe Country would venture, since the rest was known to be too dangerous.

After finding 6 hunting requests that were all around the same area from what he could see from the map that he had memorised and stored within his mind, Damian took them over to the counter.

Usually, nobody would dare to take a hunting mission alone since a beast at the same level as a human would almost always win the battle because of their superior physiques, but Damian was audacious enough to take 6 at once.

However, no one dared to say that he couldn't complete all those missions alone after hearing what he was capable of and knowing that his master was the great elder of the Aria Branch of Akegria Academy.

In reality, most people within the academy didn't know what Damian looked like and although it was known that his hair was white and his eyes were yellow, there were many others that fit that description and hair colours were usually affected by one's ability, affinity and or health.

Eye and hair colours were very varied and although it was normal for people's hair to go white when they got older, it wasn't that unusual for a child to be born with or have hair that turns white for some reason.

With all the rumours and stories that go around about Damian, most imagined him to be a giant fire god that was 4 metres tall and crush people with a single attack, but that was far from the truth.

Damian himself had heard people talk about him while he was sat near to them and was amused by it and also glad that it was the case as he didn't want people following him or watching him all the time.

He had lay low for so long and he believed that it was for the best as more people watching him, meant that there was a bigger target on him.

However, he still wanted to defeat Larry publically to humiliate him and copy his useful and powerful Soul Spirit, while he also wanted to look out for Trevor and repay him for what he did to Milo.

Although Trevor had been beaten by Matilda and Damian hadn't come across him the rest of the time that he was in the academy, he still didn't like Trevor and would take any chance to fight him and teach him a lesson.

Handing over the 6 mission sheets to the receptionist at the front, initially she was surprised but still thought that he could probably complete delivery missions or other easy missions quite quickly, but when she read the descriptions, he was shocked.

"Are you sure you want to take these missions? Even Inner Students would think twice before taking one of them, let alone 6" she asked.

Damian nodded his head and had a completely serious and calm expression on his face, not intimidated by what she said in the slightest.

If she knew about everything that Damian had experienced and seen and everything he wanted to experience and see in the future, she would be amazed and probably couldn't comprehend it.

Damian's eyes were looking past the Outer Academy and even the academy and the country as a whole.

His eyes were set on the rest of the continent, the rest of the world and whatever else was out there.
