Infinite Mana in the Mage Academy

Ren sighed helplessly. He looked at the slime and thought. 'Can I eat them?'

If he eat them it would be cannibalism like how humans eat humans. But he didn't care, it wasn't the human world. 'No one will care even if I eat my kin.' With this thought, Ren crawled at the nearest slime.

The slime walked in a line. It walked ahead and bumped into a wall, so it walked in opposite direction to hit another wall again.

Ren wanted to laugh at this scene, its action looked similar to the action of NPC in RPGs.

Ren didn't know what will happen if he eat his kind. Will he get attacked by other slimes, or they will just ignore him.

Ren pondered for a moment to figure out if he should take the risk or not.

But with a little thinking, Ren jumped on the slime. He didn't waste second chewing down its slimy skin.

As he ate down, the slime panicked. Its crawling speed increased and it bumped into the same wall again and again.

Ren thought other slimes would notice, but much to his surprise, no slime care about the panicked slime at all.

It seemed like the panicked slime didn't exist for them.

Ren spat a sigh of relief thinking it is fine, so he hurriedly ate the slime.

Eating one's kind is kind of weird and exciting.

Finally, Ren's mouth touched the slime's core. He tried to chew it but his slimy mouth couldn't chew the core at all.

The core was harder than the pebble he ate a while ago. After several attempts to chew the core, Ren gave up. He directly suck the core and ate it in one go.

He thought it would stuck in his throat, but he forgot slime had no throat at all!

He easily gulped down the core, and the panicked slime half of the body turned into liquid and flowed on the ground.

Ren felt a huge amount of energy inside his body stirring. He learned a new skill too!

[Body Control: (Passive Skill) Can control one's body more proficiently.]

When Ren found out about the skill, he didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he felt joy in his heart. He could control his body easier and masterly.

He could bend down naturally, crawl faster and he could spread his body and turn into liquid now. Ren crawled to another slime, however except for eating the slime, he opened his body.

His body stretched and separated into two parts. The big opening between this two-part covered the body of another slime and directly consume it!

The slime instantly dissolved inside Ren's body giving him more energy. He could feel his mana pool, capacity, storage, anything it can call increased.

This method sped up his eating time, and he doesn't have to spend some time eating the slime from the top, or other things too.

But the problem is, his height in this stretched form only reached 2 feet. So, he can't directly eat a bigger monster in the future.

And again, he felt his brain tingling receiving a new skill.

[Slide: Can slide one's body in any area.]

The short yet simple description made Ren's eye gleam. He immediately used it without any hesitation. He wasn't worried about hunger, for now, his several foods were just here walking here and there.

So, when he feels hungry, he could just eat one of them.
"Wheeee!!!"

Ren's scream echoed in the quiet dungeon. His body slid over the plain stone surface easily giving him a boost in speed. He couldn't control the skill, so he couldn't stop in time.

Bang!

He bumped into another slime. Ren stopped sliding due to the impact, but he was pushed back a little further. The bumped slime also pushed back and hit the wall.

"Damn, that was fucking exciting and scary!"

Ren couldn't help but describe the feeling inside his heart as excitement.

He crawled at the slime that hit the wall and eat it without any hesitation. However this time, except for the feeling of energy inside his body, he didn't receive any skill.

Ren felt disappointed, so he continue eating slime

20 Slime Later-

"Burp"

Ren couldn't eat anything now. He felt his body has reached the capacity of dissolving anything inside. Huge amount of disappointed flashed in Ren's eye, as he didn't receive any skill.

Suddenly, after his 20th meal, his body glowed brightly. The energy inside his body stirred and jumped up and down like a naughty child.

He felt his skin refining, his stomach capacity increasing. His height increased or so he guessed looking at his shadow.

Inside his mind, a tingling sensation appeared giving him information about his new skills.

[Jump: (Passive skill) You can jump now.]

[Mana Restoration: (Passive Skill) Automatically store 1 mana per ten minutes]

[Evolution from Child Slime to Teenage Slime (Evolution Skill): Regeneration: As long as the core is not destroyed, can regenerate the skin continuously. (Passive Skill - Special Skill)]

"I..evolved?"

What the heck? I was child slime until now? Now, I am a teenager?

Ren shook his head and dispelled his unnecessary thoughts. His skill is imprinted into his mind, so he made them on a list and look at them inside his mind.

********

[Gluttony (Ultimate Skill): Absorb skill from the eaten things.]

[Water Manipulation: As long as near the water, you can control the water as your wish.]

******

Ren's eye gleamed as he thought he had many skills now. Not all of them were flashy or much used for battle, but they were still helpful.

Ren wanted to eat all the slime and evolve again, but he couldn't. The energy he would obtain from the slimes would decrease now.

He learned this from the same memory. He needs to consume high-level slime now to evolve.

He didn't know whether this knowledge was only to him, or it was also sent to other slimes, but due to their low intelligence, they couldn't follow?

But if thy can't follow, why is this knowledge even passed on?

How much Ren thought about it, the more mysterious it become?

Ren shook his head.


This memory and the skill should be my golden finger!

Ren smiled joyously and continue roaming the dungeon.

Sliding inside the dungeon, Ren felt excited as a child. He slid from one place to another, looking at different places.

His mana capacity increased, or his skill just didn't take much mana, he wasn't exhausted at all. He wished he did have something that would help him keep track of his mana and health point.

Ren passed by many slimes, when he felt the slightest bit tired, he just eat another slime without any hesitation. He was so bold now that he dared to eat slime in front of another slime that was looking at the slime that was eaten.

In one word, he ate a slime while being seen without any nervousness.

After many turns, he arrived at a place. A huge door made up of stone stood in front of Ren. He wanted to open the door, but it was soo heavy he couldn't even budge it.

Feeling disappointed, he turned back.

Dunn!

The huge door opened creating a huge noise. The huge noise made Ren jump. He looked at the door which opened automatically with an angry gaze.

But sighing, he entered inside.

As he enter, he saw a huge space with small pebbles on the ground scattered everywhere. Some slimes eating these pebbles could be seen.

A throne at the end of the room attracted Ren's attention. A huge slime at least 2 times bigger than him sat on the throne like a king looking at his soldier.

Ren tilted his head.

This must be boss room!

Ren looked at the huge slime and spoke inside his head. 'This is boss slime!'

He felt excited. He was also the boss slime's subordinate, so it didn't care even when Ren entered casually.

The boss slime lay on the throne lazily.

Ren wanted to experiment with something, so he just crawled toward one's slime which was obviously bigger than a normal slime.

They must be teenager slime.

Ren nodded and opened his body consuming the teenager slime without any hesitation. After eating, his mind tingled and a surge of energy invaded his body.

But he ignored the feeling and looked at the boss slime and other slimes.

Ren sighed or just chuckled at the low intelligence of the slime.

They didn't even react when Ren ate the teenager slime.

He again crawled at other slime and started eating them. In just some minute only boss slime was left. But again, it didn't do anything. It just stare at Ren and lazily sat on the throne.

'Hmm, it must only react when human or other being except slime enter.'
