Chapter 3
First Encounter with A Monster, Crazy Level Up
Outside.
All the teachers of Green Spirit City High School were gathered in a spacious classroom.
Everyone gathered in a circle.
Between them, a huge holographic projection showed the situation in the mystic realm.
This was one of the benefits of a repeatable mystic realm as a place for the school’s assessment.
On one hand, as long as they had the corresponding token, they could enter such a mystic realm infinitely. They could let powerful hunters enter and kill all the high-level monsters first, leaving the low-level monsters for the students to practice on.
On the other hand, after development, they could set up a safe area like the array formation platform to ensure the safety of the students.
At the same time, they could also set up surveillance cameras inside so that the teachers outside could clearly observe the students’ performance.
Less than ten minutes had passed since the assessment.
However, many students had already fled to the safety zone and were forced to withdraw from the assessment.
There were even casualties.
Many students had already awakened successfully, but because their theoretical knowledge was not solid and it was their first time facing monsters, they were flustered and could not use their initial skills to deal with them.
“This is too outrageous! What have these students learned? If they can’t even deal with such simple difficulties, what should they do when they really face powerful dungeon monsters in the future?”
A teacher finally could not stand it anymore and cursed.
The other teachers’ expressions were also very ugly.
“Sigh, after all, they only learned theoretical knowledge in the past. Today is their first time facing monsters, so inevitably, that they can’t react in time.”
“Hmph! I think some people don’t even have good theoretical knowledge! Look at this three-person team. With a combination of warrior, knight, and archer, they can easily take down a level-five monster, let alone a level-one monster!”
“But look at them. What are they doing? The archer turned and ran. The warrior didn’t even look at his teammates’ positions and charged forward in his fury. And this knight, when he ran, he provoked them. Is he tired of living?”
…
The group of teachers pointed at the performance of the students in the mystic realm.
Suddenly…
On the holographic map, a dazzling pillar of light shot into the sky, attracting the attention of all the teachers in a heated discussion.
Although the beam of light flashed, every teacher looked as if they had seen a ghost.
“Is… Is this an upgraded beam of light?”
“How long has it been? Someone upgraded already?”
“No way. These students all entered at level one. If they want to level up, they must kill at least five level-one monsters. How can anyone be so fast?”
“Quick, lock onto that position just now. I want to see who is so monstrous!”
The teacher controlling the projection immediately identified the surveillance camera at the location of the beam of light and followed it.
In the next second, Lu Benwei’s figure appeared on the holographic projection.
“It’s him?!”
Lu Benwei’s form teacher, Mr. Yuan, exclaimed.
“Mr. Yuan, do you know this student?” The principal immediately looked at Mr. Yuan with a burning gaze.
“No, impossible.”
Mr. Yuan subconsciously shook his head and replied to the principal, “Principal, this student is Lu Benwei, the top student in the school in every exam. However, his awakened class is support healer type. No one has teamed up with him in this assessment, so it’s impossible for him to advance so quickly.”
“Oh? So, it’s Lu Benwei.”
Obviously, all the teachers present, including the principal, knew Lu Benwei’s name. When they heard that Lu Benwei had awakened a support class, all of them revealed looks of disbelief.
Someone asked, “Mr. Yuan, did you remember wrongly? Maybe Lu Benwei has awakened a combat class?”
“It can’t be wrong. At that time, the Origin Ball showed the support class,” Mr. Yuan said with certainty.
The teachers immediately fell into deep thought before guessing.
“Could it be that this student obtained some powerful initial skill when he awakened?”
“It’s possible. After all, the result given by the Origin Ball is only the direction of this student’s Class Advancement, but it won’t reveal his initial skills.”
“Even if I obtained some impressive initial skill, since it’s determined to be a healing type class, this skill should be a healing type skill, right?”
“Well…”
Everyone was a little confused.
In the end, the principal said, “Alright, since everyone has doubts, let’s lock onto this child and see how he deals with the monsters. I believe the answer will be revealed soon.”
…
Meanwhile, that dazzling beam of light was also discovered by many students in the mystic realm.
In that instant, everyone’s hearts seemed to stop.
‘Upgraded already?’
‘Just when most people are still running for their lives?’
A huge question mark appeared in everyone’s hearts.
Lu Benwei had no idea that he had become the center of attention.
At this moment, he was overjoyed.
Time went back ten minutes.
Not long after he left the safety platform, he encountered the first monster in his life.
This monster was only level one. After discovering Lu Benwei, it instantly pounced on him.
At first, Lu Benwei was a little flustered.
However, his theoretical results were always first place. He quickly calmed down and recalled what he had learned in class about the characteristics of this monster and how to deal with it. It did not take long for him to be able to handle the monster’s attack with ease.
At the same time, he discovered something surprising. That was his initial skill!
Lu Benwei’s two initial skills were [Barbarian Bloodline] and [Minor Healing].
[Barbarian Bloodline (passive)]: When you’re injured, you can recover five (x current level) health points within five seconds. The overflowing health points can be converted into an equivalent shield. When you’re injured, your shield value will be first deducted.]
[Minor Healing (active)]: When cast on a target, instantly restore one percent of the target’s maximum health (x current level). Cooldown: five seconds. Overflow of health can be transformed into an equivalent shield. When injured, the shield value will be first deducted.]
However, after the adjustment of the system, the effects of the two skills were now very different.
[Barbarian Bloodline (passive)]: When you’re injured, you can recover 9,999 (X’s previous level) health points within one second. The overflowing health points can be converted into an equivalent shield. When you’re injured, your shield value will be first deducted.]
[Minor Healing (active)]: When cast on a target, instantly restore 100% of the target’s maximum health (X’s previous level). Cooldown: one second. Overflow of health can be converted into an equal-sized shield. When injured, the shield value is first deducted.]
This meant that even if Lu Benwei stood still and let the monster hit him, the effect of [Barbarian Bloodline] alone would make the monster’s hands hurt.
Therefore, Lu Benwei, who had no worries at all, ignored the monster’s attack and stabbed it to death with the iron sword in his hand.
Then the system’s voice came.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing a level-one monster. You have triggered 10 times experience and 10 times gold coins.]
[You’ve risen to level three!]
Good lord, he had risen two levels.
Lu Benwei looked at the other monsters not far away with a perverted glint in his eyes.
In the next half an hour, pillars of light kept shining in the mystic realm.
Lu Benwei gradually reached level six.
