After the embarrassing thing that happened at the ceremony I went back, to my dorm room. It was so quiet. That was a big relief. I sat down on my bed. Said out loud "System... Show me the Status Window." I was looking at the Status Window. I wanted the System to show me the Status Window again.
Ding!
A big screen made of holograms showed up. My eyes went to my SSS-Grade Talent. I wanted to know more, about it so I tapped on the description to find out the secret.
[ Talent: Infinite Evolution ]
Description: Normal Awakeners are stuck with the rank they are born with. That is not the case, with you. You have the ability to evolve your level and rank many times as you want with no limits at all. The Awakeners usually have a rank that they can not go beyond but you do not have that problem. You can keep evolving your level and rank. The Awakeners will be able to see that you are getting stronger and stronger.
You can make your weapons better, with the Weapon Refinement skill. This means you can upgrade the rank of any weapon you have by using Gold Coins. The cost will be different depending on what rank you want to upgrade to. For example going from rank E to D will cost an amount and going from D to C will cost a different amount.
Sub-Skill 2: [ Locked ]: (Will be revealed later).
"I can level up forever..." I said to myself in a voice. Some people get stuck at the S-Rank level. Never get any better.. I can become something really amazing. The problem is that I do not have any money. I have zero coins. "I need to figure out how to make some money. I need to do it quickly."
The next morning, a message popped up on my phone:
Today is our trial and every single student has to be a part of it no matter what their rank is. The first trial is really important. All students must participate, regardless of their rank, in the class.
I got to the Academy. It was totally crazy. People were gathering in groups. As soon as I walked up they started whispering to each other. They would say things like "Look at the Academy student hanging around the Beauty Queen" in a mean way. The Academy students were being very rude, to me and the Beauty Queen.
Soo-yun looked at me with a lot of worry. She said "Jin-woo you have to stay close to me. Even a dungeon that is ranked F can be very dangerous, for Jin-woo. It can be a trap that kills Jin-woo. That is something Soo-yun does not want to happen to Jin-woo.
Teams had to have five people on them. Lots of people were waiting in line to join the A-Rank teams and the B-Rank teams. Nobody wanted to be on a team, with someone who had an F-Rank because they thought it would hold them back. Then this quiet girl named Yuri came up to us she was a C-Rank Healer.
The woman said "Can I join you?" in a quiet voice. She said it again "Can I join you?" because she was not sure. The woman looked at them. Said "Can I join you?" one time this time she was speaking very softly.
We had three people with us when we went to see the Instructor. He looked at us. Said "Three? That is crazy we will get killed!" The Instructor was really upset. He yelled at us.
"No one else is going to join us Sir " I said in a voice. He let out a sigh. Waved his hand to let us pass. "You are on your own with this decision " he told the people who were going with me meaning that the decision to go ahead was entirely on the heads of the people who were going with me the ones who were part of our group, the ones who were going to be, with us.
The moment we stepped into the dungeon my vision started to flicker. I could not see things clearly for a second. The dungeon was really dark. It took my eyes a little time to get used to it. My vision of the dungeon was not clear at first. Then I could see everything. The dungeon and its darkness were, around me and my vision was still flickering a bit.
[ New Location Detected: Hidden Objective Found! ]
There is a light, at the top of the mountain. You need to get to the light at the mountain peak to get your reward. The red light is waiting for you at the mountain peak.
I was really away from everything. I was standing on the highest point of this huge dungeon. That is when I saw a light that was pulsing. The other people, with me did not see anything all. I said to them "we are going in that direction" and I pointed the way to the light.
We had not gone far when we were ambushed. A big group of Goblins surrounded us. There were Goblin Scouts and Goblin Archers and even Goblin Magicians. Soo-yun was really strong she was, like a whirlwind cutting through the Goblins with her high level class. But there were too many Goblins we were getting overwhelmed by the Goblin numbers.
The Academy gave us these F-Rank swords. They are not good enough when we have to fight many people. I really need to get a sword but the problem is I do not have any money. The C-Rank swords we have are just not going to work.
I was walking along. Then I stepped over a fallen Goblin. At that moment a message suddenly appeared on the screen. It was a notification that popped up.
[ +10 Gold Coins collected from Goblin corpse. ]
My eyes got wide. I shouted to Soo-yun, "Soo-yun try to kill many of them as you can and then bring the bodies to me Soo-yun."
I started running fast through the battlefield. I was trying to touch every body I could find on the battlefield. The battlefield was a scary place but I had to touch those dead bodies on the battlefield.
Ding I just got a bunch of points, +10 and +10 and then a big +50. When I had points I picked up my sword. I said loud "System I want to upgrade my sword now."
[ Weapon Evolution Successful! ]
[ F-Rank Sword —> C-Rank Shadow Blade ]
[ Level Up! Current Level: 5 ]
The sword changed into something giving off a really sharp and blue kind of energy. I threw it to Soo-yun. I said to Soo-yun "Use the sword "
She caught it. Was really surprised by the strong B-Rank aura that was coming from what was supposed to be a training sword.. She did not have time to think about it. The B-Rank aura from the training sword was very powerful. She used the training sword to cut through the rest of the Goblins. The Goblins were no match for the training sword with the B-Rank aura. She cut through them like they were made of paper. The training sword, with the B-Rank aura made it easy for her to defeat the Goblins.
We were walking towards the top of the mountain. We moved everything out of our way. When we got to the top the mountain peak we stopped completely.
A big Boss Monster was standing there. This Boss Monster was a D-Rank. It was as strong as it could get. It was almost ready to become a C-Rank Boss Monster.. Right, behind this Boss Monster... Was the Red Light.
"It is too strong " Yuri whispered her hands are trembling. We need to be at Level 10 to take the monster on. The monster is really powerful. We are not ready, for it. We have to get to Level 10 if we want to fight the monster.
I looked at the Boss then I looked at the Red Light. The Red Light was really getting to me. My blood was starting to boil when I saw the Red Light and the Boss just standing there.
"Wait for my signal," I said, my grip tightening on my own blade.
