Chapter 10: The Popular Cullen, Awaiting the Test
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The so-called Mystic Realm was the official name for the space within the spatial rift in this world.
These spaces gave birth to Magical Beasts with unique abilities continuously. The exact reason was still unclear, but people guessed that the reason behind this was probably related to the reason for the world’s mutation.
Humans who had a class could accumulate a certain number of these monsters to level up and obtain greater power after killing them.
Every Mystic Realm would inevitably have a mighty monster, which was the realm’s boss. Defeating it would give them a chance to obtain the loot from the boss.
The value of the loot was very high. It could be used to make weapons, potions, or special effects on specific diseases.
The levels of Mystic Realms ranged from the lowest 1-Star to the highest 12-Star. As the stars rose, the ranks of the monsters and bosses would increase accordingly, too.
In theory, the lowest level 1-Star Mystic Realms would have level 10 monsters at the highest. Of course, most of them were weak level 1 or 2 monsters. They were used to test the strength of newbies and were most suitable to increase actual combat experience.
Moss knew what Alan was thinking. After all, he had just said that he wanted to let Alan see his strength. This test would be a perfect opportunity.
There was nothing Moss could not do. However, before he could say anything, seeing that the students were discussing too loudly, the teachers came out one after another to manage the discipline.
Moss could stare at Alan and swallow what he was about to say. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
When the students’ discussion gradually quieted down, the headmaster continued, “Students, this upcoming test allows you to form a team, and it also allows you to carry 1-Star weapons. Please report your weapons and teammates to your teachers one hour before the test begins tomorrow.
“Those without equipment or teammates can also come to their teachers to apply for teams or equipment. The teachers will distribute essential equipment and assign the students who applied to be teammates.
“Alright, that’s all for today’s notice. As for the specific rules of the exam and the specific information of the Mystic Realm, we will inform you one hour before the exam. Please don’t be late tomorrow.
“School is adjourned!”
With a wave of the headmaster’s hand, the students cheered.
Everyone went around excitedly, looking for a suitable team member and discussing the equipment they would bring tomorrow.
It was very common to form a team to complete tests in this world. After all, the risk of fighting a Magical Beast was not small. Very few people would choose to go solo to cultivate a sense of cooperation from a young age.
At such a time, Moss, the famous number one student in the grade, should have a lot of people around him. All kinds of students should be interested in forming a team with him.
However, things were now different from before. No one came looking for Moss, and he was treated like an invincible person.
At this moment, a chubby hand hooked onto Moss’s shoulder.
Moss was too familiar with this feeling. He turned his head and realized that Alan was indeed hooked on him.
“Moss, let’s form a team together this time. Don’t worry, with me around, and we’ll definitely pass. I’ll bring some 2-Star potions from home. Even if we’re not the main fighters, we’ll still have no problems in surviving the 1-Star Mystic Realm.”
Alan’s tone was a little lacking in confidence, but his attitude was unyielding. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮
It was unknown whether he was skeptical about bringing out the potions from home or whether the two of them would pass successfully.
The evaluation method for potions and equipment items in this world also used stars as the grades. From the lowest 1-Star grade to the highest 12-Star grade, the quality of the items contained within the same star grade was not small, and every upgrade would allow the quality of the items to have a qualitative leap.
For example, the 1-Star equipment mentioned by the headmaster was the standard equipment for low-level professionals. Many people could only use 1-Star or 2-Star equipment in their lifetime. The standard equipment used by city guards like Moss’ father was 1-Star equipment.
After all, not everyone needed to go out and fight Magical Beasts in the current era. The construction of the city and the vigorous development of various professions allowed a large number of people who were unwilling to fight to engage in production in the city. If their job doesn’t involve combat, 1-Star equipment would be enough to deal with most scenarios.
The 2-Star potion that Alan mentioned was already a high-grade item that ordinary people would not usually use. Even though Alan’s family sold potions, 2-Star potions were not something Alan, a high school student who had just awakened his class, could casually take out. However, this might be necessary since Alan’s awakened class was the family’s Alchemist profession.
He formed a team with Moss. With the combination of a Knight and an Alchemist, the attack power of this team was insufficient. It would be difficult for them to pass the test; hence the other students would not join such a burdensome team.
If they did not use the 2-Star potion, there was a real possibility that they would not be able to pass the test.
Moss looked at Alan’s expression and did not know what to say. Just as he was about to comfort him, a commotion occurred.
Moss and Alan turned their heads and looked at a place that was even more crowded than the surrounding area.
There, the students had formed a human wall. A golden-red sword kept flying up and down in the air at the center of the crowd.
Someone’s voice sounded: “Cullen, can you form a team with me? I’m a Guardian. I can fight and protect. Let me protect you!”
“Cullen, form a team with me. I am a Priest of Holy Light. With me in the team, there won’t be any casualties.”
“Cullen, look at me! I’m a Qi Master. I can use my Qi to massage you!”
Seeing this scene, Alan’s expression changed.
The students were surrounding Cullen.
Compared to him and Moss, Cullen, who had awakened as a Swordmaster, was much more popular.
Even though Cullen has a reputation as a troublemaker, he still has many fans.
Moss also saw this scene, but he did not say anything unnecessary. He knew that no matter what he did now, it was useless. After all, the impression of a weak Knight was not something that he could easily change by himself.
He put his arm around Alan and walked out of the school.
As he walked, he said, “Alan, don’t worry. Cullen won’t be able to cause any trouble to us.”
“Huh?”
Ignoring Alan’s surprise, Moss continued, “Wait until tomorrow. Let us speak with facts!”
