Chapter 14: Merge
Chapter 14: Merge"Sigh... none again today, huh?" Hal muttered impatiently as he stood up and exited one of the one-star rooms in the Mana Meditation Hall after dismissing his Spirit Sparrow.
A week and a half had passed since the spicy and eventful first day of classes.
Sadly, since then, he hadn't earned a single Chaos Point.
The campus had been unsatisfactorily far too peaceful in the past few days.
And so, Hal had to delay his plans of checking out the Mission Hall, as he had been unlucky in his previous draws.
Five whole Chaos Points from the Kraisel Bullying Situation, and he got nothing.
Hal, consequently, was stuck training in the Mana Meditation Hall while looking for opportunities to earn points using his sparrow summon.
The slow progress and lack of opportunities to draw new cards were very displeasing for him, but he didn't let the days pass fruitlessly, training hard despite the boring daily routine.
His maximum Chaos Karma had now grown from a measly 14 to 94 as a result.
He wanted to go on missions to earn money and a few academy credits, but unfortunately, Hal only had four charges of [Sparkblast] to protect himself with, which was far too lacking.
He would only head out after obtaining two or three more offensive spell cards, perhaps one if the number of charges was enough.
'Patience...Patience...'
Hal knew things were only this hard because he had just started out and still had no reliable arsenal of offensive spell cards, believing that as long as he remained patient, the right timing and opportunity would come.
From there, he'd probably start steamrolling in wizardry prowess.
Heading to the academy canteen, Hal arrived a few minutes later, grabbing the same old bland chicken porridge, hard bread, and water.
He didn't dare use his money to indulge himself in meals—yet.
Once done, he cleaned up his table and placed the used tray in the appropriate section before leaving, deciding to rest for a while and try one last time to
'Please...one more...'
Pressing the [Common Draw] button once more, Hal was bewildered, flabbergasted, and more—all at the same time.
[Congratulations! You have drawn a [Common]-tier card!]
For the first time since he obtained the system, he had drawn two cards in a row!
To his surprise...

It was the same spell card, differing only in durability, as this draw had five uses.
Hal clenched his fists and was about to raise his arms and jump up and down in excitement and celebration when, suddenly, a prompt appeared:
[Merge function has been unlocked! You may now merge two cards of the same card name and rarity.]
