Chapter 11

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Early the following day, the second-year students were gathered at the field of White Deer High School.

The test would take place in this field. Unlike yesterday, the five tall altars had been removed and replaced by a colossal bronze door.

The first-year students sat in the audience seats on one side of the field. They were going to watch their seniors fight for the first time, and the process of these battles would become an essential lesson for their growth in the future.

At the top of the audience seats were the teachers and the school’s top management. Although this was just a small test, it was still the first step of the educational reform. Thus, they had an obligation to participate.

The assembled second-year students were discussing animatedly. Moss stood among them and quietly listened to the gossip of the two students beside him.

“I heard that the 1-Star Mystic Realm chosen for this test is difficult!”

“It can’t be? This is the first attempt at reform. Shouldn’t we be given a simple realm to practice our skills first?”

” Isn’t this to respond to the call to get close to actual combat?”

“How did you know?”

“My uncle told me.”

Moss had heard many similar discussions today.

Since this will be the first test the students would take after their Awakening Ceremony, almost all students were desperate for relevant information. 

Almost all students received the news that today’s test would be tough. It made them both excited and afraid. They were excited to show their skills and use their favorite class to impress other students and school leaders, yet they were fearful of their first battle with a Magical Beast, which might be more challenging than they had imagined.

Driven by these complicated emotions, the news about this test’s difficulty had spread wide.

“Moss!”

Alan waved his hand and walked over to Moss somewhat excitedly.

Moss could not help but be stunned when he saw Alan’s appearance today. He then smiled and said, “Alan, why are you dressed like a Knight today?”

Alan was wearing a helmet that covered his face alongside loose chainmail. His joints and neck were also protected by steel.

He was wearing two straps, a small round shield, and a short sword on his back. The straps on his back had five to six bottles of all kinds of colorful potions. There was also a big bag on his shoulder, which made a constant clunking sound when he walked. It was full of items.

Alan came close to Moss. When he heard Moss’s question, he smiled confidently. It seemed that the equipment on him gave him a sense of security.

“Hey, I found this in my warehouse yesterday. My mother said that this is the early-stage equipment of an elder who was proficient in defense during my grandfather’s generation.

“We are not sure if anyone would team up with us. Our options are limited. If I wear this, at least it can increase my self-defense ability. If we encounter low-level enemies, I can temporarily act as a defender.”

As he spoke, Alan stretched out his chubby hands and patted the chain armor on his body.

“Moreover, I hung potions at every place within my reach, so it doesn’t prevent me from doing my job.”

Then he glanced at Moss and felt that Moss’s equipment seemed familiar.

“Moss, what’s with your equipment? Why do you look like a city guard?”

In Alan’s eyes, Moss was wearing a suit of mixed armor made of leather and iron.

A portion of the armor was made of tough leather where the joints were easy to move, while the rest was made of steel.

Moss was also carrying a large shield half the height of a man, and his waist slung a standard longsword. It was all the standard equipment of the city guards.

Moss nodded generously and directly admitted Alan’s guess.

“This is the equipment of the city guards. I borrowed my father’s old equipment.”

Alan took a closer look at it and realized that although Moss’s equipment looked well-maintained, there were signs of wear and tear anywhere. The equipment had been well used.

“How did you…”

Alan wanted to ask why Moss wore this equipment. However, he suddenly understood halfway through his sentence.

Moss’s family probably only had this kind of equipment available. If he said it out loud, it would probably embarrass Moss. Thus, he could only stop midway and remain silent with an uncomfortable expression.

When Moss saw Alan’s expression, he thought for a moment and guessed his friend’s intentions.

He was a little helpless because Alan’s guess was correct. He only had this equipment left in his house.

However, he didn’t care about these things.

Equipment was just a worldly thing. Now that he had the Unlimited Class Evolution System, he could continuously evolve his class. If he wanted equipment, he would always have the chance to buy it.

However, as of now, he couldn’t persuade Alan not to care about these things. No matter what he said, Alan would probably think he was forcing himself to be strong.

Fortunately, there was no need for Moss to persuade him. Soon, Alan adjusted himself.

Alan seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said to Moss, “Moss, have you heard? The difficulty of this test seems to have been raised to a very high level!”

Moss nodded. He did not need Alan to remind him of this news. He had already known about it from the people’s discussions around him.

“Should we find another person to join us? Otherwise, we both might fail!”

Moss looked at the armor that he was showing off confidently just a second ago, but he felt a little uneasy when it came to the rumors. He could not help but shake his head.

It seemed that Alan was frightened by the sudden news. Now that the test was about to begin, all other students must probably have found a team. Moreover, even if any students were without a full team, they might still not join him and Moss.

Moss said to Alan, “Alan, don’t overthink. At this juncture, no one will be willing to join our team. When the time comes, we’ll face it. No matter how difficult this test is, it’s still a test, nothing more. Don’t overthink.”

Moss’ words were reasonable. Alan sighed and regained his composure.

The two chatted for a while before the bell rang.

Ring ring ring.

Everyone became alert and looked in the direction of the bronze door.

A group of teachers stood on the left and right side of the door, prepared to open it.

The headmaster walked to the door and said, “Hello, students. The test is about to begin. Please check your equipment and potions. If there are any deficiencies, you can report them to your teachers. “Next, let me explain the specific rules of the test.”

Hearing the headmaster’s words, everyone could not help but focus their attention..
