Silveridge City, High School, Students All Shocked.
As the assessment for the city’s largest academy…
naturally, many professors from prestigious schools, and even principals, had arrived.
They all wanted to witness the strength of The Union’s new generation of Professionals.
“That kid Marcus, I told him in class that the Warrior class must never charge too far ahead… You’re not a Tank, why are you charging so far!? Cannon fodder!”
“I’m speechless. Don’t tell anyone I taught you. A Mage getting so nervous that they drop skills on their own teammates.”
“What’s going to happen to them in the future!? They managed to awaken a combat class template, but with this IQ, I bet they’ll suffer sooner or later. It’s better for them to stay in the rear of the country now.”
“Why can’t they remember the key points explained in class!? When facing a monster you can’t fight alone, don’t panic; use the power of the team to resist together.”
Sitting at their desks, many teachers were watching the footage for students from their own classes, wanting to see if they had mastered the essence of their professions after obtaining their class templates.
But judging from the teachers’ attitudes…
very few students could catch their eyes.
After all, they were people who had awakened their class templates decades ago.
They possessed a broader vision and deeper experience, understanding the role of each class profoundly.
In this world, absolute heroism is rare.
In most cases, teamwork and forming armies together…
legions fighting magical beasts are completely normal, but many students feel they possess superhuman power.
They have a mysterious confidence, thinking they can solo magical beasts or even clear dungeons alone.
This is often impossible.
“Old Fin, this Gideon Thorne from your class is quite good!”
“He has already successfully passed the second wave, and his momentum doesn’t seem to be slowing down. He’ll soon break the record for the entire Silveridge City First Middle School!”
“It’s truly incredible!”
“Indeed! Indeed! Old Fin, after Gideon Thorne becomes successful, you must hold a lecture to share your experience so we can learn too.”
“Hahaha, everyone is overpraising him. This is entirely because the class template Gideon Thorne awakened is good. With the Thunder Mage template alone, any random person could reach this level at this stage!”
“Eh, while that’s true… out of all the high school seniors in the world, only a few can awaken a powerful hidden class every year. If it were really as worthless as you say… we wouldn’t need to fear magical beasts anymore and could just start a full-scale counterattack.”
“Exactly! Old Fin, don’t be so modest!”
Seeing his student being mentioned on such an occasion, the homeroom teacher called Old Fin was beaming.
For a teacher, the more successful a student is in the future, the more it reflects their own strong personal ability.
His treatment and status in the school would also rise over time.
Wouldn’t his life be much better then?
“This Gideon Thorne is indeed good; he’s likely one of the best in Silveridge City First Middle School right now.”
“Judging by the momentum, he should be able to pass the third wave smoothly.”
“As long as he remains humble and focused, his future will be limitless.”
Soon, a balding middle-aged man sitting in the room commented with a steady aura.
As he spoke, most of the surrounding teachers began to chime in.
They agreed with his views, trying their best to flatter him.
His identity was naturally the Vice Principal of The Union’s best university—Albert stein.
He had come to Silveridge City First Middle School to watch this student assessment with the goal of screening out…
the top performers who excelled in the Academy Assessment.
He wanted to recruit them in advance to prevent talent from being lost to other schools after the College Entrance Examination.
This tradition had lasted for decades and was a well-established social norm. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
Some people even treated this assessment specifically as the College Entrance Examination to enter a prestigious The nation school smoothly.
They treated this Academy Assessment as if it were the College Entrance Examination itself.
Just as Albert stein and the others switched the camera to Gideon Thorne’s team to observe closely, a piercing sound suddenly echoed in the room.
Hearing this sound, everyone showed doubt.
Could it be that someone had already successfully passed the third wave of the Academy Assessment!?
Otherwise, why would the passing notification sound at this time?
But this speed was way too fast!
Logically, the quality of monsters in the third wave was equivalent to a First-Order Nightmare Dungeon.
Even for a normal Professional team where everyone had extremely strong class templates…
It was rare to reach this level of strength at this stage.
After all, that was a Nightmare-level dungeon!
Not to mention that not even a minute had passed in the assessment…
Could it be that a Nightmare-level dungeon was cleared in seconds!?
But how was that possible?
To achieve such a feat, even a Second-Order Professional team wouldn’t be able to do it!
“Quick! Start looking for which team passed the third wave in such a short time!”
“We must find them!”
“This is definitely a genius-level figure!”
After Albert stein understood the meaning of the sound that had just echoed in the room, he couldn’t sit still.
He stood up directly from the sofa and couldn’t help but speak.
As his voice fell, all the surrounding teachers immediately began to get busy.
In fact, even without Albert stein speaking, these teachers also wanted to know who could clear a Nightmare dungeon in such a short time…
Exactly what kind of prodigy they were.
When did their Silveridge City produce such a prodigy!?
Amidst the anxious search, several teachers soon found the source and switched the projection screen at the front of the room to that team.
Soon, in the eyes of all the Silveridge City teachers…
and the teachers from various prestigious schools, an Asura Path wearing an Akatsuki Organization uniform with a face full of disdain appeared before everyone.
And in just the blink of an eye, it disappeared from the camera again, instantly killing all the monsters that appeared in front of it.
Yes, that’s right!
Not defeating, but instant killing!
The First-Order Nightmare-level monsters, which were incredibly difficult for other Professionals at this stage, couldn’t even put up a fight before it; they were instantly killed.
“Is this a Puppet Master!? How is that possible!?”
“A puppet with this kind of strength was actually created at the First-Order!? Simply unbelievable!”
“…”
“If he is given enough time to reach the Second-Order or Third-Order in the future… what kind of monster will he be able to create then!? Hiss! It’s terrifying to think about!”
“Which class teacher taught him!? To actually be able to teach a Puppet Master class template into a genius.”
Everyone present was not weak, and because they had been teachers for many years, their eyes were very sharp.
Almost the moment they saw the Asura Path, they deduced that this was a puppet made by a Puppet Master!
But the more they thought about this possibility, the more impossible it seemed!
Someone who just obtained a Puppet Master class template could actually make it here!?
It’s like a joke!
“What is his name!?”
“…No matter what his class template is, to have this kind of strength at this stage shows he is extremely talented!”
“We must focus on him!”
Albert stein immediately beamed with joy.
He had originally had doubts about whether he could find good talent in Silveridge City First Middle School, but after seeing Max…
He completely changed his mind.
Having the ability to solo a Nightmare-level dungeon at the First-Order…
It was too incredible; his talent was just too monstrous.
If nurtured, The nation would definitely produce an extraordinary talent in the future.
Meanwhile, as the Asura Path controlled by Max directly slaughtered the third wave of monsters, the rankings on the entire leaderboard changed instantly.
The top spot originally occupied by Gideon Thorne was instantly taken over.
When this scene fell into the eyes of Gideon Thorne, who was coordinating with his team and desperately preparing to charge through the third wave, it immediately set off a tidal wave.
The expression on his face collapsed instantly, and his eyes almost bulged out.
“Huh!?”
“Are you kidding me! Max’s team actually successfully passed the third wave and is now ranked first on the leaderboard!?”
“How is this possible! Even if Seraphina’s class template is powerful, it’s impossible… to reach this level! Soloing a Nightmare-level dungeon!?”
“A monster!?”
After Gideon Thorne checked the rankings on the leaderboard repeatedly, his thoughts immediately became frantic.
When he originally participated in this Academy Assessment…
He had planned to just break the school record of Silveridge City First Middle School and pass the third wave smoothly.
This was already the limit of what he could achieve, but now…
the team suspected to be Seraphina and Max had actually successfully passed the third wave.
They had already beaten him by far too much in terms of time, not to mention that he and his team might not even be able to pass the third wave.
“Impossible, absolutely impossible!”
“There must be an error in the leaderboard this time. How could anyone solo a Nightmare-level dungeon!?”
“This is simply cheating!”
Gideon Thorne thought about how he had bragged in front of everyone not long ago about breaking the school record and being admitted to a prestigious school in advance, only to end up with such a result.
It made it impossible for him to accept!
How could it end up like this!
“No, I don’t accept it. I must pass the third wave!”
!!!!
Thinking of this, Gideon Thorne felt he had lost face.
He then adopted a reckless fighting style and began to fight desperately with the monsters in front of him.
At the same time, Max, who had just controlled the Asura Path to easily pass the third wave of the Academy Assessment, did not realize that he and Seraphina had now become the center of attention for almost everyone.
Instead, he happily immersed his consciousness into the system interface, looking with surprise at the progress of the Hell Path’s production on the panel.
It had now changed from 96% in the second wave to 100%.
Now he could directly create the second of the Six Paths of Pain—the Hell Path!
