My Magical System

Feeling inferior

Mina wasn’t able to kill the first Elder rat that she took down. The Elder rat, though heavily wounded and bloodied all over, yet wasn’t given up.

It lifted its hand that holding a stick. What followed next was words of an incomprehensible language that coming out of its mumbling mouth. The Elder rat cast a spell.

After casting an unknown spell, radiant of green color slowly envelop its body, and its wounds gradually healed.

Though the Elder rat healed its wounds, it’s hardly able to stand. It might be because too much of its blood had lost. But in Yeman’s vision, the number of 10/1,000 inside the red bar was visible above this monster’s head.

An idea suddenly occurred inside his head. He smiled evilly while deliberately approaching the weakened Elder rat.

Mina and the second Elder rat were currently battling at 10 meters away from the weakened Elder rat.

At the corner of her vision, she saw the guy slowly approaching the first Elder rat that she took down. She was wondering what this guy planning to do, but Mina twitches her brows when she noticed that the monster that she thought was dead, still gasping for breath?

“How could it be?” her eyes widened while asking herself.

.....

Tsk! She clicked her tongue in annoyance.

That guy has already done in killing the other monsters, while she was still busy with the second Elder rat. Just the thought of her being inferior to him made her puke. And now the first monster she took down, had managed to stay alive?! However, it’s already weak. Regardless, something was unusual with the guy that’s with her. She had the feeling that this guy had intended to last hitting the weakened monster.

She’s wondering if this guy was the type of guy that she hated the most, the one that greedy in gaining the score and be boastful later. Just the thought of it irks her for some reason.

*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*

She has no spare time to dawdle around. Because another wave of Earth Balls came hurling towards her. Mina furrowed her brows. She must finish this fight as quickly as possible. To do that, she needed to use one of her special skills.

In the Academy, Mina was one of the talents that only appeared once in a century. She has a high aptitude in magic, unlike the guy that they called Worm. At first, she felt pity for this guy. But when she heard that the Worm tried to woo her friend, her reaction was, “what a courageous person.”

Though she pitied him, she also felt curious about this courageous guy. When she heard about the recruitment for the subjugation mission, she hastily applied. And after they were assigned to their respected squads, she found out that she was in the same group with the guy they called Worm.

She’s wondering if the guy could fight since he doesn’t have an aptitude with magic.

In this world, being born without magic was equivalent to being born as a worm.
