BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 Where Mune Comes In
Her brows twitched in frustration at what was going on.
"What the hell was that?" Miss Lotus slapped her hand on the table. She had expected something much better than what she had been forced to watch. "Clearly you all don't expect a winner in this, do you?"
Sounds of suppressed laughter could be faintly heard from the students, as they heard her angry outburst.
"Okay, we have gotten our answer." Mr Doliu sat back down, he looked awkwardly to the side.
Using her vines, she wrapped it around Cara and Gia's body, handing them over to the other students.
Lank offered to take Gia, carefully taking her from the vines.
A male from the lower rank gifted users offered to help Cara, he gave a heated glare at Lank.
'Do I know you?' Lank rolled his eyes, walking towards the back of the line.
Nix shook his head, there was no way he was going to watch the sparring anymore. He had gotten the information he needed about Lumina. 'Maybe there is something I can still work with after all.'
"These pairs are nullified." She called out in a loud voice, her face in visible disappointment.
Landing on his feet lightly, he looked ahead, careful that they didn't notice his presence as he prepared to leave.
Turning to the left, he was about to take the secret passageway he had found out after completing his daily quest of visualization.
"I knew you'd come." He heard a familiar voice speak.
'Sh*t!' He cursed on the fact that Lank could see in the dark. What surprised him the most was the fact that he had managed to pinpoint his location so easily.
Pretending he didn't hear anyone speak to him, he continued to walk towards his exit, interaction wasn't part of his plans, nor was attention seeking.
Lank shook his head at the strange behavior of Nix, having a smile on his lips as he watched him go through another exit.
–––––––––––
He had just locked the door behind him when he let out a hiss to the slight pain that coursed through his hand.
Ding!
[Mission: Locate Fegan]
[Master the mission, you haven't done so] Mune looked up at him, getting the perspective of his chin when she looked upwards.
'I know, I was distracted for the wrong reasons.' He made his way towards his dorm.
[Master, could you make it?] She asked in worry, knowing fully well what the mark could do to the unlucky person.
'I won't be nerfed by this. It's time to get serious with this.' He looked ahead in determination.
Placing his pass into the door, he pushed it open with his shoulder.
Looking around, he needed a plan, there is no way he was going to jump into such an unpredictable battle.
Calling up his user interface, he wanted to see how far he had gone with his last battle with the dragons.
Ding!

Looking at his level and points, he couldn't help but have a wicked smile.
[Master, would you like–]
'No! Don't say it. Just because the points are there doesn't mean I have to use them.' He shook his head, hoping to make his point.
Mune struggled out of his pocket, zooming around him, finally settling on his hair.
'What joy do you derive in making my hair your nest?' He tried grabbing her and off him, but she swiftly dodged his hands every time.
[Concentrate on the objective ahead, master] She said with a pout, holding onto his hair to spite him.
Closing his eyes, he exhaled. He could concentrate, she was merely just a little disturbance that he could ignore.
Calling up his inventory, he scrolled to the Paintbrush & Canvas.
[Paintbrush & Canvas available]
[Usage: 0]
[Time limit: an hour]
The items dropped onto the table with a clang.
'Damn no! An hour can't do.' He frowned, his eyes narrowed, placing his chin on his clasped hands knowing what needed to be done.
Mune understood why he had suddenly grown quiet, an evil grin made its way to her lips. Dashing to hover in front of him, she wiggled her brows, rubbing her little fingers.
'You look much like a villain now actually.' He deadpanned.
[Muahahaha!] She let out a forced sinister laugh.
'You know what I want to ask.' He facepalmed, already feeling the loss of his points before it could be deducted.
[If you don't use it to your benefit, what's the point of accumulating points?] She tilted her head, shrugging.
'You had to say something smart, huh?' Nix narrowed his eyes, shaking his head.
[It's what I do, if I can't say smart things when you can't keep up, what would that make me?] Mune's chin was raised a bit as she said in pride.
'Yet I'm considered proud.' He rolled his eyes.
[How many hours increase do you want, master?]
'How many points are required per hour?' He questioned.
[Just 400 points] She closed her eyes with a satisfied smile.
'Just?!' Cross popping veins made its way to his forehead.
He had originally planned on having his creation last for at the least 12 hours. Yet that couldn't be possible if he was going to go with that point depletion.
[You have enough points to sacrifice, master is strong enough to get them back in no time] Mine wiggled her brows.
'Ha ha, very funny.' He said with a straight face.
[Master do remember that once you do this, it's lasting, you could always use the upgrade] She beamed, ready to go with whatever choice he was going to invest in the upgrade.
With a heavy heart, he calculated the one he could manage to forego. He constantly reminded himself that this would be to his benefit and a one time upgrade for the time being.
'I would invest 3600 points.' He sighed, closing his eyes.
Ding!
[Master, you have invested 9 hours of your time limit. You currently have 10 hours of usage time]
[Points: 583 to be distributed]
Spreading out the canvas, he looked up at Mune, 'this is where you come in.'
[Me?] She pointed at herself, confused.
