EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C35: The Show Begins, Everyone Is Shocked!
Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Show Begins, Everyone Is Shocked!
"Who is this guy? Today's a dinner for guests from the Sovereign City. Why is he dressed so casually?"
"Didn't you hear what Kael from Dragonlight Guild said? That's Aiden."
"Aiden? I've never heard of him."
"I've heard a little. They say his awakened class is the weakest, the Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. And he got kicked out of school."
"Such a person is coming to the dinner?"
"He definitely doesn't have the right to be here. How could Guildmaster Lucien let someone like this into the dinner? Probably just here to watch the show."
Lucien heard the whispers behind him and immediately broke out in cold sweat.
He dared not show any disrespect to Aiden at all. If these people wanted to die, that was their problem. But don't bring him into it!
Without hesitation, Lucien turned around and shouted at the people who were talking.
"Shut up!"
Right away, the people who were gossiping about Aiden quickly closed their mouths and looked at Lucien in confusion.
At that moment, Aiden slowly walked forward.
Lucien and Lysander had planned to greet Aiden with a bow.
But Aiden just waved his hand and looked at Kael's still-swollen face.
"Tsk tsk, I thought it was a pig's head, but it's actually Kael."
Kael's eyes widened. He wasn't handsome to begin with, and now with his swollen face, it was even more embarrassing.
"Get out. This isn't a place for someone like you!" Kael took a deep breath.
Even though Aiden had finished his Class Change mission, in Kael's eyes, an Iron Rank class was still the worst.
The few attribute points Kael got by leveling up were more than what Aiden had when he reached level 10.
It was just a higher level. The power of a weak class was nothing.
Kael looked at Aiden coldly and said in a cold voice,"Elyra giving up on you was the right choice!"
"If I were you, I would have already hidden in the sewers with all kinds of trash."
Elyra looked at Aiden and sighed before saying."Aiden, I heard you went to see May Teacher at the Reclasser Association yesterday?"
"At that time, you were given a chance, but you still chose to drop out. Now you're going to beg May Teacher again..."
At that moment, May stepped out from the crowd of the upper class in The White City and shouted loudly:
"Yes, you asked me for a chance, and I would never say no. But you were not sincere yesterday, and you even threatened me!"
"Aiden, the biggest shame of my life is being your teacher!"
As soon as May spoke, everyone around turned their eyes to her. She couldn't help but straightened her chest, as if she really enjoyed being watched.
Someone whispered: "This May is probably going to become a top official in the school. After all, she has students like Kael and Elyra, who did really well in the College Testing."
"That's right. Teacher May is very capable and has good character. Otherwise, how could she have taught students like Elyra and Kael, who are so talented?"
"As for Aiden, he's just unlucky. He got stuck with such a bad student."
"Right, right."
Hearing the talk behind her, May pushed her chest out even more. She looked very upset and said.
"Aiden, don't keep being stubborn. Even if you can't take the College Testing, you can still live a normal life."
"This is not the place for you. You should leave quickly."
Faced with the criticism from Kael, Elyra, and May, Aiden just smiled — a clear, confident, and expectant smile.
"Do you know what? When the sky wants to destroy someone, it usually makes them so arrogant that they lose all sense."
"Oh, by the way, I actually admire you all for being so stupid and full of yourself. Anyone with even a little brain wouldn't act like you."
Aiden smiled and started walking. Under the surprised eyes of Kael, Elyra, and May, he slowly moved to the back of Lucien.
Lucien's body trembled slightly. How could he even stand in front of Aiden?
Damn it!
It must be that Mr. Aiden is angry, which is why he gave him such a warning.
Lucien instinctively wanted to step behind Aiden, but Aiden said quietly."No, it's just about the order."
Lucien had no choice but to stop. Still, he turned back and looked at Kael, Elyra, and that annoying May with a cold, angry look.
They were trying to destroy him!
Others saw this and were surprised. They thought Aiden had somehow managed to get close to Lucien, the guild master.
May's eyes flashed with a little worry. She looked at Elyra and asked in a low voice."Is Aiden and Guildmaster Lucien related in some way?"
Elyra shook her head. "Aiden never told me anything about that."
Kael tried to comfort them. "An Iron Rank Reclasser can't have any real connections. Don't worry. Maybe he begged Lucien for pity and got invited here by mistake."
Elyra and May thought about it, and both agreed it made sense. After all, they had both seen Aiden at the Reclasser Association.
It must be that Aiden had used someone's kindness to get here.
"Hmph, even if he's here, no one will look at him any better. He'll just feel the big gap between himself and the real talents." Elyra said with a cold laugh.
Only Ronald, the leader of Dragonlight Guild, felt something was wrong.
Lucien wasn't that kind. There were plenty of Iron Rank Reclassers. Why was it only Aiden who got to come to this important dinner?
Ronald coughed slightly and tried to walk toward Lucien.
But as soon as he took a step, Lucien turned around suddenly and stared at him with a warning look.
It was like he was saying: Don't come any closer. We don't know each other.
This made Ronald's face turn dark. Dragonlight Guild might not be as strong as the Reclasser Association, but it was still one of the two major guilds in The White City.
When had he ever been treated like this before?
Was it all because of that Aiden?
Ronald's eyes shifted to Aiden. He saw his old enemy, Leo, the leader of Warrior God Guild, walking slowly toward Aiden with his daughter, Selena.
Leo bowed slightly and directly greeted Aiden. "Mr. Aiden, hello. I'm the leader of Warrior God Guild. This is my daughter..."
With high heels made of crystal, long legs wrapped tightly in black stockings, and a backless long dress, Selena winked playfully and said sweetly.
"Hey, cutie, we've met before, right?"
Aiden was a little surprised. He hadn't expected the leader of Warrior God Guild to come over and greet Aiden on his own.
He had a fairly good impression of Selena. After all, the first time he went to the wilds to level up, she had offered to team up with him.
So Aiden nodded and said."Hello, Mr. Leo."
Kael watched this and muttered to himself."Do they know each other?"
May looked at Aiden with envy. Leo was the leader of Warrior God Guild, and she had always wanted to meet him.
"Such a rude person! Leo himself came to greet Aiden, and Aiden just nodded. He's definitely going to make Leo angry!" May didn't know why Aiden had such good luck.
But she was sure that someone who wasn't polite wouldn't be liked by anyone.
However, the next moment, the leader Leo, after getting Aiden's response, actually had a big, uncontrollable smile on his face!
Leo started chatting with Aiden in a friendly way, looking like he was trying to please Aiden.
Aiden didn't seem uncomfortable at all. His expression was calm and natural, as if everything was completely normal.
"What is going on?" May's eyes widened.
What was there to please about an Iron Rank student?
Was she not awake? Or was she just too nervous?
Kael and Elyra also didn't understand. They looked at each other and both frowned.
At that moment, the crowd suddenly went quiet. Everyone turned their heads and looked toward the front road.
Just then, the mayor of The White City, Randy, got out of his luxury car. He ran over while looking around, as if searching for someone.
When he finally saw Aiden behind Lucien, his eyes suddenly lit up. He stretched out his right hand from a few meters away.
"Mr. Aiden, hello. It's our first meeting. Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Mayor Randy."
Aiden was a bit surprised by Randy's enthusiasm. Lucien whispered something in his ear.
Because Aiden was from The White City, and he had killed a national-class red-flagged boss. For Randy, that was a huge achievement.
"Thank you for your contribution to The White City, to Ironvale, and to the country!" Randy spoke quickly.
Everyone at the scene, except Lucien and Lysander, was completely confused.
Aiden was just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice, why was the mayor treating him so seriously?
What could an Iron Rank Reclasser even contribute?
Ronald, the leader of Dragonlight Guild, suddenly narrowed his eyes. A bad feeling started to grow in his heart.
But before he could think further, a tall man with a long scar across his face appeared with several young people who looked very noble. They landed in front of everyone.
"Member of the Sovereign City, Deputy Director of the Reclasser Association, Luke."
"The Sovereign City, Wexley family, Vespera."
"The Sovereign City, Taylor family of the military, Vivi."
"The Sovereign City, Hawthorne family business group, John."
One after another, people announced their names. The people of The White City suddenly stopped breathing.
These people were extremely powerful. Any one of them could make the whole city nervous!
Mayor Randy was about to step forward to greet them, but he suddenly froze when he saw a small figure.
Luke slowly moved aside.
A girl who looked only about ten years old smiled and waved to the people of The White City.
Luke spoke seriously. "Imperial Royal Family, the little princess is here!"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C36: I'll expose your true face to everyone!
Chapter 36: Chapter 36: I'll expose your true face to everyone!
Princess?
Everyone in the room immediately widened their eyes and prepared to bow.
Aiden also turned his attention to the empire's most beloved little princess.
But instead of bowing, the princess waved her hand and said softly: "No need to be so formal. You can rise."
Then she ran up to Aiden with a big smile, her deep blue eyes full of curiosity.
"You're the Aiden that Vespera sister was always talking about, right?" asked Princess Kelsey with a grin.
Before Aiden could answer, Vespera quickly coughed twice.
She hadn't actually been talking about Aiden all the time — she had just mentioned him a few times here and there.
Aiden nodded slowly. He didn't feel any fear toward the princess, just saw her as a very cute little girl.
And looking at Kelsey's round, baby-like face, Aiden even felt like reaching out to pinch it.
Luke, the vice chairman of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, said in a serious tone: "Your Highness, it's a bit windy outside. How about we go into the hotel and take a break?"
Kelsey acted serious with a cute face. "You're right. Let's go. I'm already hungry. I wonder what kind of local food there is in Jiangcheng?"
"Aiden, can you introduce it to me?"
Aiden was a little surprised, but he couldn't really refuse. After all, who could say no to a cute little girl full of excitement?
So, Aiden led Kelsey, along with Luke and Vespera, walked at the front and entered the banquet hall.
Meanwhile, Mayor Randy, the highest-ranking official in The White City, and Lucien followed closely behind Aiden.
Kael, Elyra, and May, along with Ronald, now felt as if their feet were tied with heavy lead, making every step extremely hard.
"How, how could this happen? Is it because Aiden is good-looking and the princess liked him at first sight?" Kael was completely confused.
This must be the only explanation. Whether it was a kid or a noble, people naturally wanted to be around someone who looked good.
Kael clenched his fists. He was the strongest professional-tier student from The White City, but all the attention was now taken by Aiden, an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice!
Elyra, on the other hand, was lost in thought. She had just seen the genius Vespera and Vivi from The Sovereign City.
Vespera and Vivi were even more beautiful than her, especially their cool and elegant presence, like the moon in the night sky, drawing everyone's attention.
As for her, she was just a small, unnoticed star in the corner.
Elyra muttered to herself: "The princess said that this girl named Vespera has been talking about Aiden all along? No, that can't be true!"
"Aiden doesn't have any real talent besides his looks! How could someone like Vespera even remember him?"
"It's impossible!"
As a teacher, May was already starting to regret her decision. No matter what the reason was, now the big figures from The Sovereign City had noticed Aiden.
If she hadn't kicked Aiden out, she might have been able to use her position as his teacher to get some attention from those important people.
But now, everything was ruined!
What if Aiden suddenly said something bad about her? Then she'd be in big trouble.
May was extremely worried and nervous, her legs even started to shake.
At that moment, Mayor Randy turned to look at May for a moment. His eyes flashed with anger.
May had done something, and he had already found out.
Randy called out: "Teacher May, don't just stand there. Come inside the banquet hall!"
May was stunned for a moment, then her whole body filled with excitement. She was definitely going to get promoted! Even the mayor was calling her by name!
Out of habit, she bowed and smiled nervously to show respect to the mayor, completely missing the anger in Randy's eyes.
Soon, everyone entered the banquet hall.
In a quiet corner, the most famous pianist from The White City was playing soft and elegant music.
Hot dishes filled the air with delicious smells, and expensive drinks made the atmosphere a little bit dreamy.
But no one was really paying attention to the music, food, or wine. The upper-class people from The White City were all listening closely, their ears all turned toward the center of the hall.
Vespera slightly bowed and said to Aiden: "Sorry, there were still some things I didn't get to say. So I had to look into the Abyss permit and found my way to The White City."
Kelsey quickly said: "Vespera was just really worried..."
"Who was worried?" Vespera quickly corrected, a little embarrassed, then gave Kelsey a sharp look.
Vespera took a deep breath before speaking to Aiden: "This time, I came to The White City to thank you first. And second, I want to ask... can I buy the heart of the Flame Demon Oslu from you?"
"Of course, there's one condition. You don't need the heart of the Flame Demon Oslu."
Vespera added carefully, hoping Aiden wouldn't misunderstand.
Aiden thought for a moment. An Epic-level Demon's Heart was nothing to him—he still had over 900 of them.
Vespera was also very polite, even going all the way from The Sovereign City to this small, remote city.
Plus, he still needed to ask Luke about the demon curse.
So, without hesitation, Aiden was about to agree to Vespera's request.
But just then, a figure slowly pushed through the crowd. It was Kael.
He smiled in a fake, elegant way and said: "Your Highness, and everyone from The Sovereign City, good evening."
"Hello, I'm Kael. I was lucky enough to awaken an Epic-class job—Paladin. It's a great honor to meet you all here."
Kael's attitude was gentle, his expression elegant, and his tone calm. If it weren't for the fact that his face was still swollen like a pig's head, he would have been considered very handsome.
Vespera frowned. It was annoying to be interrupted at such an important moment.
She kept her expression cold and her tone distant as she replied: "Sorry, we have something important to discuss with Mr. Aiden."
Kael was surprised for a moment. He couldn't understand why someone with just an Iron Rank as a Reclasser would be so important. Did people from The Sovereign City only care about looks, not future potential or job tier?
Aiden's lips curled slightly, and he spoke in a tone that was clearly mocking:
"It seems some people are way too full of themselves. They don't realize that no one is interested in a pig's face."
Aiden suddenly felt a bit playful. Kael had come over on purpose, probably to get close to Vespera and the others.
But what Kael thought was so important—Vespera, Vivi, and John—were actually hoping he would sell the Epic Demon's Heart.
"Aiden, you're being extremely rude! What business do you have in my conversation with Vespera?" Kael shot back without hesitation.
He slightly bowed, as if to say that The White City wasn't a big place, and not everyone was as polite as him.
Vespera couldn't stand it anymore. She looked coldly at Kael and said: "Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
"I have something important to talk about with Mr. Aiden now.
You can leave, please."
Vivi added: "Not only does he look like a pig, but he's also stupid."
John nodded and said: "Add this: trying to act elegant and noble, but doing it really badly."
Other people from The White City's upper class were watching the scene closely. When they heard Vivi and John's comments, they couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Tsk tsk, no wonder they're from The Sovereign City—they even dare to mock Kael."
"So what? They have the confidence. The Hawthorne family business, the Wexley family from The Sovereign City, or the Taylor family from the military—any one of them could make Dragonlight Guild disappear completely!"
"Still, Kael might have awakened a high-level professional job, but compared to these geniuses from The Sovereign City, he's nothing at all."
"Do you think Kael embarrassing himself like this is making our The White City look bad?"
"I feel kind of ashamed."
"It's really embarrassing."
As more people around him started talking, Kael's fists tightened tightly.
He was an Epic Paladin, but Aiden was just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. Why were all these people gathered around Aiden?
Thinking about this, Kael couldn't help but speak up: "You're all being tricked by Aiden. He's just the worst Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. He got kicked out of school. His character is bad, and his skills are terrible."
"He must have fooled you all!"
Suddenly, the whole banquet fell silent. Lucien, Lysander, and Mayor Randy all turned their eyes toward Kael.
Randy took a deep breath and shouted: "Kael! You've gone too far. Aiden is a hero of The White City!"
Lucien even walked over directly and said without hesitation: "Get out of here!"
Kael suddenly panicked. He hadn't expected that just one sentence could make the most respected people in The White City so angry.
He looked helplessly at his father, Ronald.
Ronald took a deep breath, forced a smile, and said to Randy and Lucien:
"Both of you, Kael just said something wrong by accident. He's still young, and it's normal for him to act without thinking."
"I'll make him apologize to Aiden right now."
Ronald quickly walked over to Kael and signaled him to apologize to Aiden.
Looking at Aiden's smiling face, Kael tried a few times to speak, but finally kept his mouth shut.
He looked quietly at Elyra and the other students from The White City.
"Apologize!" Ronald was getting impatient, almost wanting to hit Kael himself.
Kael shook his head, gritting his teeth, and stared fiercely at Aiden. Then he suddenly said:
"Aiden, I won't apologize. You're a waste of space. A liar!"
"I'll expose your real face to everyone!"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C37: Kael's Breakdown, Elyra's Regret, and May's Despair
Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Kael's Breakdown, Elyra's Regret, and May's Despair
Aiden heard what Kael said and couldn't help but smile. His face showed a calm and expectant look as he said:
"Okay, I'd like to see what you're going to do."
Kael took a deep breath and looked directly at May.
May immediately lowered her head, trembling all over. Her mind was filled with the same thought: "It's all over. I'm finished."
Kael was full of confidence as he said: "This is Aiden's old teacher, May. She found out he cheated a few times, and he didn't even try to change. She even wanted to help him."
"But Aiden? He didn't even realize he was wrong. He even threatened May, the teacher!"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be at this dinner at all!"
Everyone in the room turned their eyes to May. Mayor Randy spoke coldly, asking:
"Teacher May, is what Kael said true?"
May felt like she couldn't breathe. She didn't know if it was true or not. She just remembered that Elyra had said it and even given her a gift.
Plus, Aiden didn't seem scared at all. He didn't even ask for her help. Instead, he dared to argue back.
But now it was too late. If she admitted she was wrong, what would others think of her?
Would she still be fit to be a teacher?
May bit her lip, her voice shaking as she finally said: "Yes... that's true."
Right away, the whole room erupted in noise.
Many of The White City's upper-class people had already thought it was strange that Aiden, just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice, could talk and laugh with important people from The Sovereign City.
But now, they saw with their own eyes that Aiden was actually a complete failure.
Randy had already checked the truth, and now May was still trying to spread lies about Aiden!
That was truly unforgivable. He had no sense of shame at all!
He couldn't hold back anymore. He took a few steps forward and was about to slap May in the face.
But just then, Aiden smiled and said:"Where's the evidence?"
"What?" May was stunned.
Aiden walked slowly toward her and repeated: "I said, where's the evidence?"
"Whoever questions someone should provide proof. You can't just make up things out of nowhere, right?"
May stayed silent. She had no evidence at all!
Vespera and Vivi and the others immediately understood. They weren't stupid—they could tell something was wrong with May.
Accusing someone without proof was common. A rumor could destroy someone's life in an instant.
But Aiden wasn't just an ordinary person. He was a level 10, someone who had killed a level 40 Abyss Boss. He was definitely a real genius.
What really surprised Vespera and the others was Aiden's calm expression.
Especially Vivi, who looked at Aiden and suddenly remembered a saying. She whispered it out:
"A person who has a storm in their heart but keeps a calm face can be a great general."
John asked: "What does that mean?"
Vivi explained: "It's a saying my older brother once told me. I didn't understand it before, but now I see it fits Aiden perfectly."
Vespera said quietly: "Calmness comes from confidence. Real strong people don't let their emotions change easily. Because they always have a way to solve problems."
People from remote and backward places often judge a person's future based on the level of their awakened profession.
But in The Sovereign City, many geniuses know that besides one's profession, there's another important factor that decides how high someone can go—their character.
Vespera looked back at Luke, the vice president of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association. He was the perfect example.
At eighteen, he awakened as a Silver Rank Support Cleric. By forty-four, he had become the vice president of the association, and his profession had evolved into a Legendary Rank Tyrant Cleric. He was a true legend in The Sovereign City.
At that moment, Luke was watching Aiden with interest, as if thinking about something.
Mayor Randy took a deep breath and said in a serious voice: "May, you'd better hope you can find some proof. Otherwise, I'll have you sent to prison for slandering a city hero!"
"Aiden didn't just kill the regional red-flagged boss, the Iron Dragon. He also killed the national-class red-flagged boss, the Flame Demon Oslu in the Abyss!"
"This person has done so much for The White City, for Ironvale, and for the country. How could you dare to insult him?!"
May suddenly lifted her head, her face completely shocked.
Aiden had actually killed a regional red-flagged boss and a national-class red-flagged boss?
How was that even possible? He was so young!
It wasn't long since the Awakening Day, and everyone else was still under level ten. But Aiden had killed a level 40 Abyss demon boss.
"This can't be true! He's just an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. How could he do something like this?" May trembled and shouted without thinking.
She suddenly turned to Elyra, her face full of despair. "It was you! You told me Aiden cheated in the exam and gave me a potion that increases damage, making me expel him!"
"I'm innocent! This isn't my fault! It's hers!"
May pointed a finger at Elyra, her eyes full of anger.
Elyra instinctively tried to move away, but no matter where she went, May kept pointing at her. And everyone around her was now staring directly at her.
Elyra bit her lip and tried to explain: "No, no, I didn't mean it. I was just suspicious. It was May who didn't check or confirm anything before she decided Aiden cheated."
"As for the potion, it was just a gift I gave to May, as a way to thank her for teaching me. It wasn't meant to..."
Before she could finish, May suddenly went crazy. She grabbed Elyra by the hair and shouted:
"You bitch! This is all because of you! It's your fault!"
"You destroyed me!"
"It's all your fault! If it wasn't for you, I would still be Aiden's teacher, his student! Killing a national-class boss—what a big honor that would have been!"
May pulled at Elyra's hair and clothes. The elegant black evening dress she was wearing quickly became a mess, and she looked like a homeless woman on the street.
Mayor Randy couldn't take it anymore and ordered someone to hold May back.
Elyra clutched her clothes, trembling all over. She looked at Aiden with a helpless expression. Her eyes were red, and she said in a pitiful voice:
"Aiden, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I really was wrong."
"Please, forgive me this time."
Aiden ignored Elyra's plea and turned to Kael, who was still shocked and speechless. "What else do you want to do now?"
"Oh, by the way, you didn't know, did you? The batch of Diamond Rank materials your guild was planning to buy? They were mine."
Kael suddenly looked like he had been struck by lightning. He was completely stunned.
That was why Aiden had said "thank you for the reminder" and promised to give him a surprise that day.
The Diamond Rank materials his guild really needed to buy were actually Aiden's!
So that meant his father, Ronald, beating him up was also because of Aiden!
As the leader of the Dragonlight Guild, Ronald could no longer stay calm. He kicked Kael hard in the leg.
Kael fell to his knees in front of Aiden.
"Mr. Aiden, it was my fault for not guiding Kael properly. That's why there was so much misunderstanding between him and you."
"I'll make him apologize to you. Is that okay?" Ronald said, smiling with a friendly and respectful expression.
Right now, Aiden was no longer someone he could mess with. Not only were the Diamond Rank materials involved, but even Mayor Randy and Lucien were on Aiden's side.
There was no other choice. He had to do it.
Without hesitation, Ronald slapped Kael's head hard and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Go apologize to Mr. Aiden!"
"Apologize! Can't you hear me?!"
Kael was completely shocked.
He was a genius from The White City Reclasser, the son of a powerful Dragonlight Guild. How could he end up kneeling before an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice like Aiden, and being forced by his father to say sorry?
It all felt like a dream.
Kael's eyes were confused, but the pain in his body told him this wasn't a dream at all. It was real.
Now, he was kneeling in front of Aiden.
"I... I... I shouldn't have done that," Kael said, biting his lip and speaking slowly.
Aiden smiled and leaned down, asking: "Shouldn't have done what?"
"Shouldn't have been your enemy. Shouldn't have caused you trouble. Shouldn't have..." Kael answered in a blank voice.
Aiden shook his head. He felt like he was acting like a villain right now, but it felt really good.
"You don't really understand your mistake, do you? You're just apologizing because you can't fight back now, right?"
"Are you really okay with this? Being forced to kneel and apologize in front of so many people by an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice like me?"
"Don't you hate me? Shouldn't you want to kill me right now?"
Aiden smiled and looked at Kael.
Kael stayed silent. Only Ronald was frantically explaining beside him: "No, he wouldn't do that. He really wouldn't. I'll take better care of him from now on!"
"This is all a misunderstanding. It's just a mistake!"
The more he explained, the more Aiden's smile grew.
Selena, from another major guild in The White City, Warrior God Guild, was completely different from Kael.
The first time she met Aiden, she even asked to team up with him to level up.
Of course, part of the reason was probably because she thought he looked good.
Kael's current situation was at least half Ronald's fault.
"Ah, you really aren't cut out for it. You always thought I was useless, right?"
"Now, I'm giving you a chance. A life-or-death fight with this so-called 'useless' guy. Are you brave enough to accept?"
Aiden's eyes narrowed slightly as he whispered into Kael's ear.
Kael suddenly lifted his head, his fists clenched tightly. His eyes were full of hatred, and there was no hiding it at all.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C38: Luke's Intervention, the Strongest Artificer in the Sovereign City
Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Luke's Intervention, the Strongest Artificer in the Sovereign City
The whole banquet hall was so quiet that it was almost unnatural. You could hear even the sound of a needle dropping on the floor.
May was being held down on the ground, unable to move. Her expression was broken, and her eyes were full of pain and regret.
Elyra, on the other hand, was wearing a torn evening dress, with messy hair. She no longer looked beautiful like she did at the beginning—she looked like a homeless person.
As for Kael, he was on his knees, his fists clenched tight, and his eyes were full of anger as he stared at Aiden.
"Kael, stay strong. Don't accept his challenge." Ronald whispered to his son, his voice low. "You'll have another chance later."
Aiden smiled, a dark and evil smile, and said slowly:
"You see, even your own father doesn't believe in you."
It's true that if you don't kill the root, the grass will grow again in spring.
Kael was now an enemy. If Aiden let him go, there might not be big problems for now, but he would always feel uneasy.
So Aiden wanted to try—whether he could take care of Kael right now.
A life-or-death battle was a special kind of fight. After the data world came to life, all kinds of conflicts had started between different types of warriors.
Some conflicts can be eased, but others just get worse and worse.
A life-or-death battle is the best way to deal with the second kind of conflict. Of course, there's another way—kill the other person in the wild.
Inside the city, there are many rules that keep things safe and stable.
But in the wild, it's all about survival of the fittest. Didn't Aiden get attacked by bandits when he first went out to level up?
Right now, Aiden really hoped that Kael would accept his duel. Otherwise, he'd have to find another way to deal with Kael and his father for good.
Only then would there be no more dangers left.
Like in movies or anime, where someone is too kind or careless and lets the enemy go, only to have them cause big trouble later.
Aiden wouldn't let that happen.
"An Epic-class profession, every level up in the early game gives you 100 points of stats. That's really strong," Aiden said slowly.
Kael's breathing suddenly became faster. His chest rose and fell as he said in a low voice: "You... you're just an Iron Rank profession."
Kael slowly lifted his head, staring at Aiden with intense eyes.
"Iron Rank is garbage!"
"Only High-tier professions are the hope and future of humanity!"
"Aiden, I want to fight you in a life-or-death duel!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronald's face turned pale. He took two steps back and muttered: "Oh no, oh no. How could Aiden be just an Iron Rank? He's already killed a National-Class Red-Flagged boss!"
At that moment, Luke, the vice chairman of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, suddenly spoke up.
"Young man, you're wrong. Being a High-tier profession doesn't mean you'll become a real strong person in the future."
"There was once a genius in the Sovereign City who woke up as a Legendary Rank profession. Unfortunately, he was tempted by the Evil Demons Guild and betrayed the empire in the end."
Luke slowly walked over to Aiden's side and said seriously: "An Epic-class profession is already a genius. It's a shame for someone like him to die here."
Kael suddenly widened his eyes. He hadn't even started the fight, but already, Luke was saying he was going to die.
Aiden looked at Luke and said calmly: "It's my own problem."
Even if Luke was the vice chairman of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, Aiden didn't fear him.
Luke slowly shook his head and whispered a few words in Aiden's ear. Aiden thought for a moment, then slowly nodded.
Then Luke walked over to Kael and Ronald and said: "That's it. You're lucky you met me."
At that moment, Vespera, Vivi, and John looked at Kael with pity in their eyes.
Ronald was very happy and kept thanking him.
Kael, however, wasn't satisfied. He clenched his teeth and said: "Even if my level isn't high, Aiden isn't strong enough to beat me!"
Luke said calmly: "You're ignorant. He has more than one Epic-class item on him. And even his four main stats combined are stronger than you could ever be, even if you reached level 10."
Epic equipment, and four stats that are stronger than an Epic-class profession at level 10?
This shocked everyone on the spot. Luke probably wasn't lying. But how could a mere Iron Rank profession like Aiden be so powerful?
Someone whispered: "Could he really be a genius from one of the top families, coming to The White City just for training?"
"An Iron Rank Magic Apprentice is stronger than an Epic-class Paladin? Is that even possible?"
"Exactly because it's impossible, that's why Aiden must be from one of the top families."
"Wow, The White City has someone so amazing."
"Scary. We must never annoy Aiden in the future."
May stopped struggling. She looked at the floor, full of regret. If she hadn't been fooled by Elyra, Aiden would have been her student.
The city champion is already a sure thing. The provincial champion should be easy too. Maybe even the national champion is within reach.
But she was blind! She missed this chance!
Regret filled her.
May screamed: "Elyra, you bitch! This is all your fault!"
Elyra said nothing. She slowly lifted her head and looked at Aiden, who was talking with Vespera and the others.
Vivi and Vespera—two geniuses from the top families of the Sovereign City—had completely crushed her.
Was her brain full of water?
If she hadn't said those crazy things when Aiden first awakened, if she hadn't been so full of herself and had supported him instead, then the person by Aiden's side now would be her!
"I'm sorry... I was wrong. I really was wrong." Elyra said to herself.
Aiden completely ignored Elyra. To him, the moment she said they were breaking up, they were already strangers.
If you don't cut your losses, you'll just get more trouble.
"Really, Aiden? The Epic Demon's Heart can increase the chance of rising to a higher class. Are you sure you don't want it?" Vespera's eyes sparkled with excitement.
She hadn't expected Aiden to agree so quickly.
"Aiden, are you giving up your own interests for Vespera?" Kelsey's eyes were wide, full of curiosity about the gossip.
Aiden felt a bit helpless. It wasn't like that at all. The Epic Demon's Heart wasn't that valuable to him.
At that moment, Lysander ran over to Aiden's side, full of excitement, and whispered:
"Mr. Aiden, my teacher is here!"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Lysander. John thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "Master Lysander, are you also in The White City?"
At first, he didn't pay much attention to anyone else. In fact, except for Aiden, no one else was worth his attention.
It wasn't until Lysander came up to him on his own that he realized the man looked familiar.
Lysander waved his hand and said: "Long time no see. But I'm not a master anymore. I'm just someone who brought shame to my teacher's name. Thank you, Mr. Aiden, for giving me a chance to start over."
John nodded. He knew a lot about Lysander, and he definitely knew who his teacher was.
The strongest Artificer in the Sovereign City, Sean. Even the Empress herself treated him with respect.
John whispered a few words, and Vespera, Vivi, and Kelsey suddenly looked shocked.
They didn't expect Aiden to help Sean's student. And Sean, who was always so busy, actually came all the way to The White City.
"Luke, come on, let's go out and meet Sean together!" Kelsey shouted without hesitation.
Her mother respected Sean a lot, so she definitely couldn't just sit there waiting for him to arrive.
Going out to greet him was a basic sign of respect.
Plus, she was really curious—what could have made the strongest Artificer in the Sovereign City show up here?
At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the banquet hall.
"Kelsey, no need to come out. Hmm, I didn't expect you to be here in The White City too."
A tall old man, over two meters tall, with a strong build, white hair, and a long white beard, slowly stepped into the hall.
Kelsey quickly lifted her skirt and ran over to Sean, smiling sweetly:
"Sean, I've missed you so much! I'm so happy to see you here, Sean!"
Sean bent down and gently patted Kelsey's head. Then he tossed her a necklace and said,
"You're always so smooth with your words. This is just a necklace I made recently—Diamond Rank. You can play with it."
At once, the people in The White City all took a sharp breath. They didn't know who the man was that the princess called Sean, but someone who could hand out such precious equipment so easily had to be very special.
Luke bowed deeply and said: "It's an honor to meet you, Sean."
Vespera, Vivi, and John also bowed.
Lysander, however, had red eyes. He took a deep breath and said: "Disciple Lysander, I've come to see my master."
Sean sighed slowly and nodded. He said: "You've already been able to make Epic-class equipment. Have you finally understood what happened back then?"
Epic equipment!
Everyone in The White City opened their mouths in shock. Lysander, who was by Aiden's side, could actually make Epic-class gear!
But before they could fully process this, Sean turned to Aiden and continued:
"So this is the Aiden you mentioned. Where is that broken Legendary-class staff?"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C39: The Item That Changed Luck — Kael Was a Bait
Chapter 39: Chapter 39: The Item That Changed Luck — Kael Was a Bait
"Wait, a Legendary Rank staff?" Mayor Randy spoke with some difficulty.
Not to mention a Legendary Rank item — even an Epic one was something a mayor of The White City like him couldn't own.
Even Vespera, Vivi, John, Deputy Chairman Luke, and Princess Kelsey, who had seen a lot, were now staring wide-eyed, their expressions stunned, looking at Aiden.
The reason the Empress could control the empire was because of the Legendary Rank scepter passed down through the generations — it allowed Empress Lira to unleash terrifying power.
As for Mythic-grade items, they were extremely rare. None of them had even seen one before.
Kelsey lost all the excitement of getting a Diamond Rank necklace. She looked at Aiden with curiosity and muttered to herself:
"Who exactly is Aiden? Someone who can carry a Legendary Rank item... that can only be someone from those mysterious, reclusive families."
Vespera took a deep breath and felt a headache coming on. If Aiden had a Legendary Rank staff, then he definitely didn't lack for gear. So what could she possibly offer in exchange for the Epic Demon's Heart?
Luke looked at the completely broken Kael and thought to himself: "Compared to Aiden, an Epic Paladin isn't much. But this Kael... at least he died for something."
Kael kept shaking his head, his eyes empty and hopeless. He kept repeating:
"Legendary... Legendary Rank staff... Iron Rank Magic Apprentice... I'm dreaming, right?"
"This is all a dream! It's not real! All of it is fake!"
"Elyra, tell me it's all fake!"
Elyra gave a bitter smile. If she could, she'd wish it was all a dream. She wished none of this had ever happened.
At that moment, she felt like a clumsy duck in a flock of swans—completely out of place.
If she could go back, even if it meant dying, she wouldn't have broken up with Aiden.
Elyra slowly looked up, staring at Aiden's back, at Vespera and Vivi. She thought, maybe only a genius girl from the Sovereign City's noble family was worthy of Aiden.
But she wasn't ready to let go!
Aiden was hers!
Under everyone's eyes, Aiden calmly pulled out the Abyssthe Flame Demon staff and spoke in a gentle tone:
"Sean, how should we fix this staff?"
Sean's eyes lit up. His huge body immediately appeared in front of Aiden, his eyes fixed on the staff with fascination.
"Wow, I have to say, those demons really knew what they were doing. They managed to craft something like this."
"Three months, no, just one month—I can fully restore it!"
One month?
Aiden frowned slightly. A month was way too long. By then, he might be able to use 10,000x critical hit again and get a new Legendary Rank item.
But besides Sean, there wasn't anyone else in the Sovereign City who could fix a Legendary Rank staff, was there?
Sean took a deep breath and thought to himself: "Not satisfied? A month is already short. This is a Legendary Rank item. Once it's fixed, it'll last a lifetime!"
"Wait, normally people would be so happy they couldn't hide it. Maybe he has another way to fix it, or can get something similar?"
After thinking for a moment, Sean finally said with a determined look: "By the latest, one month. I'll use all my precious materials, and I won't charge you a single coin. Plus, I'll offer you free weapon forging in the future."
"Of course, you'll have to provide the materials yourself."
When Aiden heard that, he hesitated a bit. But Vespera and the others nearby were shocked.
Even the Empress couldn't get a weapon from Sean without paying.
Now Sean was offering to do it for free for Aiden?
That Legendary Rank staff must be something special.
As for Aiden, after a quick think, he agreed to hand over the broken staff for repair.
The feast continued as usual. As for May, Elyra, Kael, and Ronald, they had no right or face to stay anymore.
After thinking carefully, Vespera set a condition that Aiden couldn't refuse: a Six-Winged Dragon Steed from the Wexley family in the Sovereign City.
It was an Epic-class mount, and in a month, it would give birth to a baby. That baby could be given to Aiden.
Aiden immediately agreed. He actually needed a proper mount, and an Epic-class one was already very rare.
In The White City, even Platinum Rank mounts were almost unheard of.
It was a pity that the Iron Dragon had gotten unlucky. Otherwise, it wouldn't have had to die.
After dealing with Vespera's matters, Aiden finally had some free time to enjoy the food and drinks. A big group of the upper class from The White City quickly surrounded him, leaving him no space to move.
These people were all trying to flatter him, and it was hard for him to be angry. So he just made an excuse and went to the bathroom, slipping out to the balcony of the banquet.
Just then, Luke was leaning against the railing, quietly enjoying the night view of The White City.
"People are like that—only when you're famous and on top, do they throw you flowers and cheer for you," Luke said calmly.
Aiden nodded. He didn't like the upper class people who kept coming around him. Their eyes looked hungry, always hoping to get something from him.
"Are we going to act tonight?" Aiden suddenly asked.
Luke nodded. "Exactly. There's not much time left before the College Testing. Every year around this time, the Evil Demons Guild tries to sabotage the test or kill talented reclassers."
"Kael is the best choice as bait. He's a real talent, so the Evil Demons Guild nearby would definitely come after him."
"The College Testing recruiters should arrive late tonight. And to get rid of the demon curse on you, you'll need at least ten members of the Evil Demons Guild of the same level."
Aiden nodded. He hadn't pushed Kael harder before because Luke had told him about this.
Only a reclasser from the dark side could absorb the demon curse on him. That was Luke's plan.
Of course, the night's operation would also need Aiden to be there.
With Luke, a strong fighter, around, there probably wouldn't be any big problems.
Once the demon curse was gone, he could go back into the Abyss, kill the noble demon boss, and finish the Class Change quest.
Normally, demons from the Abyss wouldn't appear in the empire.
"Take a little rest," Luke said. "By the way, after today, your name is going to spread all over Ironvale, maybe even reach the Sovereign City."
"The Evil Demons Guild will definitely see you as a big target. Try not to leave the city if you can."
Aiden thought for a moment and asked: "Are they strong?"
Luke turned around and faced Aiden. His face became serious and calm as he answered:
"They're not just strong—they're crazy."
"You're using a Platinum Rank Cloaking Art. In this small town of The White City, it's enough. But if you meet someone with a higher rank, it'll be easy to get caught."
"Also, this year's talented reclassers are more than ever before. They're stronger too. A dark time is coming. Chaos is everywhere."
Luke also said that Aiden had already earned 600 reputation points. That was enough to exchange for an Epic-level camouflage skill, which would be much safer.
Aiden thanked him. It was true—people from the Sovereign City really knew everything.
He thought for a while and then asked: "If I want to get the top spot in the national College Testing, what kind of strength do I need?"
Luke shook his head. "It's hard to say. I already know two Mythic-level reclassers."
"And the Empress herself has raised the prize for the national top scorer. Besides money, there's also an Epic special item. It's said to change a person's luck."
At once, Aiden's heart beat faster.
Change luck?
He thought of his own special skill, Apprentice's Heart. That was all about luck!
If he was lucky, 10,000 experience points could be worth 7, or even 8, or 9 points of stats!
What did that mean? Using 1 million experience points could give him 700 to 800 stat points.
10 million experience points would give 7,000 to 8,000 stat points.
What about 100 million?
Of course, the Epic item might not be that powerful, but it was something he had to get.
Aiden took a deep breath. Level 20 or 30 might not be safe. Then he'd keep going higher.
As long as the Class Change quest didn't hold him back, getting to Level 40, 50, even higher would be a piece of cake.
"Mythic Reclasser?" Aiden said to himself.
Luke smiled. He had started from a Silver Rank profession, worked hard, and finally became a Level 79 Legendary Rank profession—Tyrant Cleric.
But some people just woke up one day and already had a Mythic profession.
Even though Aiden was a genius from a hidden family, he still couldn't compare to someone who had a Mythic profession from birth.
Right, people who woke up with a Mythic profession were called "favored ones" or "race prodigies." They were even above ordinary geniuses. They were the real hope of the human race.
It was like how, in the old world, some talented scientists spent their whole lives studying, but it still only saved a few days of work for a real super genius.
Human race had one favored one every hundred years. But in recent years, there were more and more of them. At the same time, the Abyss had become more active.
Luke sighed. A dark time was coming.
At that moment, his phone buzzed. He looked at it, then said to Aiden:
"They're here. We can get ready to move."
Aiden took a deep breath. It was time to get rid of the demon curse and keep leveling up.
And, that guy Kael? He was definitely going to die.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C40: Action, Luke in Rage, the Grandson of the First Minister
Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Action, Luke in Rage, the Grandson of the First Minister
Late at night, at the exit of The White City.
The night was especially quiet, and almost no Reclasser dared to stay out in the wild.
On the straight road, a figure suddenly appeared.
Kael staggered, covered in wounds, walking toward the deep of the wilderness.
He looked up at the night sky from time to time, clenched his fists, and muttered through his teeth:
"The heavens won't let me die. The vice president of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association gave me a chance. If I can survive out here until dawn, he'll..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Suddenly, a rustling sound of leaves filled his ears.
"Who, who's there!"
A few huge bats flew out from the trees and into the night sky.
Kael let out a sigh of relief. He didn't know why Luke had helped him, but this was his only chance.
"Aiden, you wait— I'll make you pay for this humiliation tenfold!" Kael muttered, gritting his teeth. He picked a random direction and kept moving.
High above the night sky, a huge black crow was flying silently.
Luke, Aiden, and a few others stood on the back of the big crow, watching Kael below run away like a lost dog.
"Luke, Kael is still an Epic Reclasser. Isn't it a bit risky to use him as a bait?" A young man in his early twenties, thin and wearing glasses, said quietly.
Luke shook his head. "I think it's fine."
"A few years ago, Dragonlight Guild was just a small group, and Ronald was just a regular Reclasser."
Owen adjusted his glasses and asked: "So, Luke, does that mean Dragonlight Guild and Evil Demons Guild were already connected back then?"
Luke nodded. He had already noticed this before coming to The White City.
Before meeting Aiden, he had planned to help Aiden a little while dealing with Dragonlight Guild.
But he hadn't expected that if he didn't get involved, Kael would have agreed to that fight for Aiden's life and ended up dying at the banquet.
Owen, who came from one of the top universities in Sovereign City, asked: "Then why isn't Evil Demons Guild helping Kael?"
Luke didn't answer. Instead, he looked at Aiden.
Aiden thought for a moment and said: "Because of me, Dragonlight Guild can no longer stay in The White City. That means Kael and Ronald have no more value."
Luke nodded in approval.
The young man named Owen glanced at Aiden, said nothing, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Aiden felt a little strange. He got the feeling that this person had some kind of strange hostility toward him.
Luke didn't introduce any of them to Aiden. Just as Aiden was starting to feel curious, something strange suddenly happened below.
Kael, who didn't know where to go, was walking aimlessly. Meanwhile, in the nearby forest, a few figures quietly appeared.
"Kael, son of Ronald from The White City Dragonlight Guild, Epic Paladin. He meets the assassination criteria."
"An Epic-level Reclasser genius. Killing him would get us a big reward, right?"
"It's possible, but Ronald has given us a lot of useful resources over the years..."
"Ronald is useless now. Let's go ahead and strike."
...
A cold wind blew. Kael, walking through the forest, was tired and hungry.
He hadn't eaten a single bite at today's banquet.
The son of Dragonlight Guild, now reduced to this.
It was all because of that annoying Aiden!
Kael angrily hit a tree trunk by the road with his fist. Leaves rustled, and grasses scraped against each other with a soft sound.
Kael just looked at it, showing no sign of alertness.
Suddenly, a black chain shot out from the grass, flying straight toward Kael's collarbone.
Kael's face turned pale. He tried to dodge, but it was already too late.
Pshhh!
The chain pierced his flesh, holding him tightly in place.
Four figures stepped out from the bushes. Under the pale moonlight, their faces looked ghostly white.
Kael's eyes widened in shock. He looked at one of them and gasped: "Ray?"
The man smiled and said: "Kael, you still remember me?"
"Relax, I'll finish you quickly. You won't suffer much." Ray said.
Kael's eyes widened in fear. "You... you're going to kill me?"
"Of course. You're an Epic Paladin. Killing you will raise my status in the Evil Demons Guild!" Ray slowly stepped closer.
Kael took a deep breath and said without hesitation: "My father did a lot for you. And there's this guy in The White City—his name is Aiden. He killed the level 40 Abyss Boss!"
"I can help you kill him. I can join you!"
"Please, don't kill me!"
Everyone knew the reputation of the Evil Demons Guild. They did all sorts of bad things. Every year they destroyed College Testing and killed top Reclassers.
But Kael never expected this to happen to him.
"You can rest easy." Ray said, licking his lips. "Aiden will join you in death soon enough."
"The White City... heh, it won't last much longer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ray pulled out a Silver Rank dagger without hesitation and aimed it at Kael's heart.
Kael struggled, but the black chain held him tight, stopping him from moving.
At that moment, a figure suddenly dropped from the sky and landed in front of Kael.
It was Owen—his glasses on.
Owen shouted: "Evil Demons Guild scum! What are you planning to do to The White City?"
"Damn, there's a trap!" Ray didn't hesitate. He turned and ran.
Kael didn't know what was going on, but the black chain that had been holding him was gone.
He ignored the pain in his shoulder and rolled into the thick grass.
At that moment, a bright red light appeared above everyone's heads. A huge red magic circle covered the whole area.
It was the Legendary Tyrant Cleric's skill—Death Match Arena.
"Owen, what are you trying to do?" Luke's body quickly grew bigger, and he was already almost three meters tall.
His upper body clothes were torn apart by strong muscles, and he was holding a huge axe. He crashed to the ground with a loud bang, creating a strong gust of wind.
Owen's face showed a quick moment of fear, and he quickly answered: "Mr. Lu, I'm just worried these guys from the Evil Demons Guild might do something to The White City."
"Besides, killing an Epic Paladin like Kael is a real shame."
After hearing Owen's words, Luke's eyes turned red. His huge body gave off a terrifying, violent energy, like a cruel king from the end of the world. It was very intimidating.
Kael was supposed to die. The members of the Evil Demons Guild should stay alive, so they could find the group's base in The White City.
But with Owen interfering like this, Kael wasn't dead, and they had also blown their cover.
"Despot's Realm!" Luke roared.
Red chains, like cold, poisonous snakes, shot out from behind him.
In the blink of an eye, they wrapped around all the escaping members of the Evil Demons Guild, as well as Owen and Kael.
The red chains suddenly pulled tight, dragging all the targets in front of Luke.
With a loud crash, the huge axe fell down, aiming directly at Owen.
Owen's face turned pale. His equipment suddenly activated—every single piece was Diamond Rank.
"Dummy Life Swap!"
At the exact moment the axe fell, Owen threw a straw dummy and his body suddenly disappeared.
He had switched places with the dummy!
Luke's axe landed hard on the dummy. The solid ground trembled, and a deep crack dozens of meters long appeared.
"You're serious? I'm from the Ginger family! If you kill me, you'll die too!" Owen looked in fear at the straw dummy now turned to dust.
His level was only 55, a Legendary Rank Puppeteer. But Luke was a level 79 Tyrant Cleric.
If Luke really wanted to kill him, he'd be dead for sure right here.
"Who would have thought you guys are still fighting among yourselves, even when facing the common enemy—the Evil Demons Guild. You're only thinking about your own interests!"
"Owen! You won't live through today, not if you don't pay a price!"
Luke was really angry. He never expected Owen to act on his own like this, at such an important moment.
"My grandpa is the Chief Minister! You dare to kill me?" Owen took a deep breath and shouted.
The axe hung in mid-air. Luke's arm was shaking—not from the weight of the axe, but from his own anger, which was almost out of control.
At that moment, Aiden used the Abyss Flame Demon cloak to slowly land on the ground.
Others were also there, looking at the scene in confusion.
Luke finally put the axe down and took a few deep breaths.
"Felix, a Legendary Rank warrior, a level 90 super strong person, the top minister of the empire. I'm his grandson. Who dares to kill me?" Owen stood up straight, and the fear on his face disappeared.
"Besides, what did I do wrong? Kael may have made a mistake, but he's still an Epic Paladin. He might become one of the empire's main supports in the future."
"The Abyss is getting restless. The more strong Reclassers we have, the better."
Owen got more and more excited. His face was full of confidence, completely different from his earlier fear.
Luke looked at him coldly and said: "You're just trying to use Kael to cause trouble for Aiden, aren't you?"
"Aiden and Vespera have nothing to do with each other. He just saved her in the Abyss."
Luke turned to look at Aiden. At that moment, Aiden was pulling out a staff and pointing it at Kael, who was still tied up by the red chains.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C41: You're a Pig Brain, Curse Lifted, The White City Crisis
Chapter 41: Chapter 41: You're a Pig Brain, Curse Lifted, The White City Crisis
Kael stared in shock at Aiden's action and asked: "What... what are you doing?"
What else could Aiden do?
Of course, he was going to kill Kael.
"Thunder's Wrath!"
Without any hesitation, Aiden aimed the spell directly at Kael.
Wild lightning surged around, bright flashes of electricity jumped quickly. Before anyone could react, Kael was completely surrounded by lightning and was struck down.
"Stop him!" Someone shouted, but it was already too late.
Aiden didn't use the extremely cold version of the spell because this skill was mainly for control and to add a debuff to the enemy.
As for Blazing Tornado, it did more damage over time but wasn't good for quick kills.
Right now, only Thunder's Wrath was fast enough, did enough damage, and had a chance to deal real damage.
As the lightning slowly faded, a blackened body was left on the ground.
Silence. No one spoke.
Owen's eyes were wide open, shocked and unable to believe what Aiden had just done. He never expected Aiden to act so quickly and decisively.
As for Aiden, he just calmly put his staff away and looked at the log.
[Defeat Epic Paladin, Experience +1000]
...
[Defeat Epic Paladin, Experience +100,000]
Not bad at all. Even though Kael had a low level, his class quality was really high.
100,000 experience points. At the lowest cost of 10,000 each, that's enough for ten uses of Apprentice's Heart.
Too bad, though—Kael didn't drop anything at all.
"You... you actually killed someone right in front of me? You've gone too far!" Owen couldn't control himself anymore. He shouted angrily.
Aiden looked at him with a mocking expression and calmly said: "According to Imperial Law Article 139, any Reclasser has the duty and responsibility to fight against dangerous and evil groups like the Evil Demons Guild."
"But Kael isn't even a member of the Evil Demons Guild!" Owen felt insulted.
Aiden turned to Luke and asked: "I just heard you say that Kael wanted to join the Evil Demons Guild. You heard it too, right?"
Luke nodded and added: "Imperial Law Article 372 says that if a Reclasser is determined to join an extreme evil group and poses a threat to others, they can be killed if necessary."
"As the deputy head of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, I think Aiden's actions just fit that situation."
Owen had no words left. After all, even as the grandson of the top minister of the empire, he couldn't openly break the law.
Of course, as long as no one found out, or if the ones who found out were dealt with, there wouldn't be a problem.
"I'll report what you did today," Luke coldly said, then walked off with the four members of the Evil Demons Guild to a quiet place for questioning.
Aiden wanted to follow, but Owen took two steps toward him.
"You're just a lowly Iron Rank Magic Apprentice. You should remember your place. Some people aren't someone like you can get close to!"
Aiden knew exactly who he was talking about.
He and Vespera hadn't even done anything, but he was being targeted on purpose.
Owen didn't want Kael to die—wasn't it just to use Kael to cause trouble for him?
He was smart, that guy in glasses. But not very smart.
"First of all," Aiden said: "Vespera came to The White City on her own to find me."
"Second, who the hell am I, and what does it have to do with you? You're not my grandpa," Aiden said clearly and directly.
He often didn't bother to argue, but that didn't mean he couldn't mock people.
"You! You, I'll remember you, Aiden!" Owen clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling quickly—he was clearly very angry.
Aiden smiled slightly and added: "What, are you a pig? No, even a pig would have remembered me by now."
After saying that, Aiden turned and walked toward Luke.
Owen stood behind him, gritting his teeth, breathing heavily like a boiling kettle.
Within less than three minutes, the four members of the Evil Demons Guild were barely recognizable.
Luke's methods were brutal, almost like a demon. No, actually, it was even worse than that.
He first cut open the forehead skin of one of the members, then pulled out some liquid mercury from his storage space.
It was super corrosive and very heavy.
Once poured on the wound, it would tear the skin and flesh apart, causing terrible pain.
That wasn't all. Luke even brought out a special potion that could enhance senses.
"Didn't do this in a while, I'm a bit rusty," Luke said while peeling off the skin, still calm and casual as he talked to Aiden.
"By the way, the 139th article of the Imperial Law doesn't talk about extreme evil groups, does it?"
Aiden frowned at the bloody scene and asked back:
"Do you know the Imperial Law well?"
"Just a little. But what you said and what I said are both wrong." Luke smiled, very brightly.
"Now you understand—even with the Abyss as a danger from outside, people still fight among themselves, fighting for their own desires."
"It's not just the Empire. All the other countries are much the same."
"There are many extremely talented Reclassers who never fully grew up before they died," he said.
"Many geniuses have been killed by all sorts of fights—more than those killed by the Evil Demons Guild's secret attacks."
As he spoke, Luke laughed, but his face showed deep sadness and a quick flash of anger.
Aiden took a deep breath. He knew that Owen was just one example of something bigger.
But right now, his only goal was to get rid of the demon curse.
Soon, one of the Evil Demons Guild members couldn't take Luke's cruel methods anymore and spewed out a lot of useful information.
"Only six left. Let's go. We need to hurry, or they'll move again," Luke said, and he took the four members with him.
Owen stared at Aiden with a cold, deadly look—like a snake ready to strike.
Under Luke's guidance, the group arrived at a cave.
A Reclasser in black robes stood at the entrance. Suddenly, his skin cracked open, and tiny holes appeared all over it.
In an instant, countless black little insects flew out of the holes and rushed into the cave at a fast speed.
Luke saw Aiden's surprised look and explained:
"A Platinum Rank class—Insect Tamer. They're not very strong in direct combat, but they're good at scouting and providing support."
"You should be careful when you meet rare classes in the future. Don't underestimate them too much." he added.
Aiden nodded. He felt like Luke was teaching him.
But why?
Then, the Insect Tamer spoke:
"They've moved. There are fifteen left inside. One of them is strong. He already noticed my insects."
Luke sighed. He had expected this.
"Owen, the information is clear. You're the Puppeteer. It's your turn to step in."
"I want them alive." Aiden said.
Owen glanced at Luke but didn't move.
Luke said calmly: "Cleaning up the Evil Demons Guild is something every new teacher at Garvard University has to do."
"I can tell Garvard University that your lack of cooperation caused the mission to fail."
Owen's face turned pale. Garvard University had been around since the world changed, and it had survived until today.
They only trained talented people. Unless the empire was in big trouble, they never got involved.
Some secret families were the same. Even his grandfather was very afraid of Garvard University.
Owen folded his hands and made a strange gesture. A six-pointed star appeared in front of him.
Three golden humanoid puppets, covered in old and mysterious symbols, appeared instantly in the magic circle.
One held a shield, one held a long sword, and the last one was a mage puppet.
Luke turned to Aiden and said: "A Puppeteer, Legendary Rank. They specialize in making and controlling all kinds of puppets. With enough resources, one Puppeteer can be as strong as an entire army."
"Fight a Puppeteer, don't get into a long fight or a battle of attrition. You need to find their real body quickly and take out the leader."
Owen moved his hands, and Aiden's voice echoed.
"Can a Puppeteer make exact copies of themselves to trick the enemy?" Aiden asked.
When Owen heard this, he almost fell over.
This was a secret he had been thinking about for a long time. How did Aiden just say it out of nowhere?
It must have been a mistake!
...
After ten or so minutes, more than a dozen members of the Evil Demons Guild had lost the ability to fight and were lying on the ground.
Luke picked out six people, then pulled out some strange and unusual materials and laid them out on the ground in a five-pointed star formation.
"Alright, you just need to step into the circle and wait a little while. The demon curse will be gone in no time." he said.
"I need to go and question these people as quickly as possible."
Aiden stepped into the circle, and a log message appeared.
[You entered the curse transfer circle]
[Demon curse is being transferred]
After about three minutes, Aiden suddenly heard a strange, hissing voice in his ear.
He looked around and saw that the demon curse was gone for real!
But the ten members of the Evil Demons Guild were completely dead—no breath left in them.
Aiden felt a big weight lift off his chest. Now he could finally enter the Abyss and fight the boss.
As he stepped out of the circle, something felt off. The atmosphere was strange.
Especially Owen—his face looked really nervous and regretful.
"I... I didn't expect it to go this way," Owen said, his voice shaking. He was trying hard to explain.
Luke ignored him and turned to Aiden and the others, his expression serious.
"Everyone, we've got a big problem."
"The majority of the Evil Demons Guild members here didn't just move—they actually slipped into The White City."

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Terrifying Enemies, Danger Approaches
The Evil Demons Guild didn't run away. Instead, they turned around and went into The White City?
Aiden felt a bit strange because, normally, such an evil group would think of running when facing a crackdown.
Something unusual always has a reason!
Combined with what the four members of the Evil Demons Guild had said to Kael before, that The White City would soon be gone.
Aiden suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The protection of The White City shouldn't be something the Evil Demons Guild can break, right?" Aiden asked.
Luke shook his head and said seriously."I questioned the prisoners. They said that some high-ranking members of the Evil Demons Guild entered the base this morning."
"As for more, they didn't know."
Owen took a deep breath, his throat moving up and down as he said nervously."T-the princess is still in The White City."
He was so worried because of Kelsey.
If the Evil Demons Guild hurt Kelsey, he would definitely be blamed by the Empress. Even if his grandfather Felix tried to help, he would still be punished.
As for what happened to the others in The White City, it had nothing to do with him.
Luke looked at Owen coldly and said."The princess should be fine. After all, Sean is stronger than me, and there are strong people from the royal family secretly protecting her."
"Let's go. There's no need to stay here any longer. We need to go back as soon as possible."
Luke took out his phone, about to send a message, but found there was no signal.
He suddenly looked up at the night sky, a strong sense of unease came into his heart.
"Did the Evil Demons Guild interfere with the signal?"
"Onyx!"
Luke called out softly, and a huge figure quickly fell from the sky. It was his pet, the Giant Dark Raven.
Aiden and the others quickly jumped back onto the bird's back. As the Giant Dark Raven flapped its wings quickly, they began to head back the way they came.
But just as they reached the night sky, a bright flash of fire suddenly appeared from the direction of The White City.
Then came a huge explosion!
The fire shot up into the sky, lighting up the darkness around The White City.
At that moment, Luke suddenly looked up into the distance.
Under the pale moonlight, a man with two wings on his back and a black beast horn on his head slowly opened his mouth.
His teeth, sharp like small daggers, reflected the moonlight. His long, snake-like tongue moved back and forth in the air.
Dark shadows slowly spread from his body, slowly pushing away the light around him.
"The smell of a Legendary Rank class, hahaha, nice, nice. This mission is really interesting." the man laughed with a cruel smile.
Aiden instinctively tried to check the man's information, but everything was just a bunch of question marks.
Beside him, Luke took a slow breath and whispered."S-class fugitive, high-ranking member of the Evil Demons Guild, Legendary Rank class, 83rd level demon warrior, code name Demon Serpent, Orion."
Aiden had never heard of this name, but Owen's eyes flashed with fear. He nervously rubbed his hands on his pants.
The White City was just a small, remote city. It didn't deserve a powerful member of the Evil Demons Guild to show up.
Even a 40 or 50-level Reclaser could cause some trouble for The White City.
The appearance of Demon Serpent meant that what was about to happen to The White City was beyond anything Aiden could imagine.
The princess might really be in danger.
Luke slowly tightened his grip on his huge axe and said to the others.
"It seems he's here for me. You all get out of here. Go back to The White City as quickly as you can. Do your best to reduce the damage caused by the Evil Demons Guild."
"I'll meet you all soon."
The S-class fugitive known as Demon Serpent licked his lips and laughed excitedly."Tyrant Luke, level 79 Tyrant Cleric. Too bad, your level is a bit low. Otherwise, the fight ahead would have been more fun."
"But you were once a top target, so I shouldn't be too disappointed."
Top target?
What does that mean?
Aiden felt a bit curious. While he was thinking, Luke opened the Tyrant's Domain.
"According to the Evil Demons Guild's way of ranking talents, Kael was barely a Level 3 target. Vespera and Vivi were Level 2. But me? I used to be a Level 1 target."
"As for the top target, they are people with even more potential than geniuses. That's what I mentioned before—those with good luck, those born to be great."
Aiden looked at Luke in surprise. He didn't expect that Luke's potential used to be even greater than Vespera's?
At that moment, the shadows around Demon Serpent Orion suddenly exploded and changed into a group of huge snakes. They blocked out all the moonlight and rushed toward Luke with a loud hiss.
"Shadow Snakes!"
Luke's body suddenly grew bigger. He kicked hard on the Giant Dark Raven and flew forward to meet the shadow snakes.
At the same time, his eyes turned blood red, and behind him, a bunch of red chains suddenly appeared. They formed a huge iron net in front of him.
The net was so big it covered tens of kilometers around.
Because of Luke's Strength, the Giant Dark Raven quickly started to fall toward the ground. Aiden suddenly felt like he had no gravity and his feet left the back of the bird.
Before he could use the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak, the Giant Dark Raven quickly flapped its wings and pulled its big body back up. Then, without hesitation, it flew straight back toward The White City.
Aiden just managed to steady himself. Without thinking, he turned back to look. He noticed that Demon Serpent Orion completely ignored them.
"Maybe he thinks we're not important... or..."
With the help of high-level gear and the powerful spirit energy from the Apprentice's Heart, he suddenly realized there were many people hiding in the forest below.
Aiden's pupils shrank. Without hesitation, he shouted."Split up!"
The others were shocked. They had just escaped from the terrifying Demon Serpent Orion and hadn't fully recovered.
Some looked at Aiden and chose to trust him, even if they were confused. Others thought Aiden was just scared and yelling out of panic.
Owen even said."Split up? What kind of stupid idea is that?"
He didn't finish his sentence when he saw Aiden's cloak spread out behind him like an eagle's wings, and Aiden jumped off the Giant Dark Raven.
Then, several energy beams, about a meter wide, suddenly shot down from the sky, lighting up the forest below and firing straight at the Giant Dark Raven flying through the night.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of loud explosions echoed, along with the Giant Dark Raven's cry and Owen's panicked shouts. Aiden quickly folded up the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak.
It was night, and a huge cloak in the sky would be too obvious. A perfect target.
Aiden's body dropped quickly. He stayed calm and carefully judged the distance to the ground.
Just as he was about to crash into the tall trees, he suddenly used the Abyss the Flame Demon cloak again, flying close to the ground.
Before he could relax, the area around him suddenly became as bright as day.
A huge mushroom cloud, as big as a small mountain, appeared where Demon Serpent Orion and Luke had been standing.
At that moment, all the sounds disappeared.
After that, when a semi-transparent "ring" started to appear around the mushroom cloud, Aiden didn't hesitate. He quickly hid behind a big rock.
"Boom!"
The shockwave kept pulling trees up by their roots. The tall trees around him were like fragile straw.
Pieces of stone and dust, full of power, hit the big rock in front of Aiden.
The ground shook. Aiden's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
This was a battle between high-level Reclasers?
Back in the Abyss, he hadn't felt much. But now, being much closer, this shock and fear was hard to describe.
After this battle, the mountains nearby would probably be destroyed.
If he was in the area where Demon Serpent Orion and Luke were fighting, he would either die or be badly hurt!
This was no longer the same world as before. Even if you were careful, without enough power, you might still be caught in the crossfire of a strong fight.
Like the superhero movies he had seen before, every battle always ended up killing many innocent people.
He needed to get stronger as soon as possible!
Aiden's eyes were full of determination. He waited a little, then started using the Iron Dragon Wings to fly close to the ground.
He wasn't completely safe yet. The sudden burst from the Iron Dragon Wings could help him avoid any sudden dangers.
Aiden tried to stay hidden. The members of the Evil Demons Guild who had attacked from the trees were definitely still around.
His level was only 20. If he met some high-level members of the Evil Demons Guild, he might be in big trouble.
At that moment, just ahead of him, a hand suddenly shot out from a pile of broken stones and dirt.
Owen, struggling with pain and fear, quickly dug himself out. When his head came up, he started breathing heavily.
"I almost died. Thank goodness I had my grandfather's diamond set. Damn it, how did Aiden know someone would attack us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Owen saw Aiden flying quickly in the air.
"Is it you?!"
"This... is an Epic-level flying gear?"
Owen's eyes widened. He forgot about his injuries and stared at Aiden's back, at the Iron Dragon Wings.
An Epic-level flying gear. Even as the grandson of the country's top minister, he had never owned one.
A sense of greed automatically grew in Owen's heart.
But before he could do anything, a hurried footstep came from behind the scattered tree trunks in the distance.
"Quick, search carefully. Don't miss anyone!"
