"Phew! Three years' worth of shopping done," I muttered to myself. I checked my watch and realized that an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
In reality, I was mentally drained from contemplating so many events where these items would be needed.
....
Wu Family Villa
"Sir, the mission failed, and they all perished," reported the distressed messenger.
"Waste! Twenty E-rank mercenaries couldn't even dispatch an F-rank player," the middle-aged man bellowed, his anger palpable as he kicked the kneeling messenger.
"Send an A-rank player. I refuse to believe an A-rank player can't handle a mere F-rank child," demanded Wu Xian impatiently.
"Xian brother, please, calm down. Sending an A-rank player is not advisable," interjected Wu Xiao.
"As you well know, we have only one S-rank player and three A-rank players. If the Federation learns that we dispatched twenty E-rank mercenaries to eliminate a family heir, we'll be in deep trouble," Wu Xiao explained to his brother.
"What do you suggest then? Letting him roam free? You know that by eliminating him, we can take control of that area," Wu Xian retorted angrily.
"I'm not saying we should spare him. We simply need to bide our time. The Federation is quite active at the moment," Wu Xiao replied, a sly glint in his eye.
"Fine, I'll wait for the right moment to uproot the weed," Wu Xian said with a smirk.
....
10:00 a.m.
Class Xth
"Hello, students. As you may already know, today we will be rearranging class sections."
"Any student scoring under 50 in novice training will be placed in Class Xth Section A, while the rest will be in Section B."
"Students with life professions will undergo novice training in the school's hall, while those with auxiliary and combat professions will follow me," announced the homeroom teacher.
Five minutes later...
We all gathered at the novice dungeon.
"You should be familiar with the details by now, so I won't go into much explanation."
"Now, enter," the homeroom teacher gestured for us to proceed.
Students entered in pairs, forming teams based on combat and auxiliary professions.
However, some underestimated the novice dungeon and ventured in alone, only to meet a swift demise.
In this novice dungeon, the monsters ranged from G-rank to F+ rank.
Now, it was my turn to enter the novice dungeon.
"Sam, would you like to go solo?" the homeroom teacher asked.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to go with Wang Feng, but he'd be more of a burden than a help," I replied, shaking my head and smirking at Wang Feng.
"Why not go with me?" Wang Feng suggested with a smirk.
I summoned an E-rank skeleton to demonstrate, "Sir, this is an E-rank skeleton."
"What! An E-rank skeleton?" Both Wang Feng and the homeroom teacher exclaimed in surprise.
"Sam, you can summon an E-rank skeleton?" Wang Feng asked in curiosity.
"Hehe," I chuckled.
"He can summon an E-rank skeleton, which means he can summon one rank higher than himself," the homeroom teacher realized.
Whispers filled the air as students heard the conversation.
"Oh! An E-rank skeleton."
"Sam summoned an E-rank skeleton."
"What's so special about an E-rank skeleton?"
The students murmured among themselves, some impressed, while others sneered at my E-rank skeleton.
"Alright, enough chatter. What matters is your ranking in novice training, and you have only 12 hours," the homeroom teacher reminded us sternly.
After some time, I entered the novice dungeon.
I released all the skeletons from the Undead Space, and three D-rank and ten E-rank skeletons materialized before me.
"Eliminate every monster," I ordered the three D-rank and five E-rank skeletons.
"Neo, link all the undead skeletons to the inventory," I instructed after careful consideration.
[Ok]
[Auxiliary function Link: Linking with all 13 skeletons ...]
[Auxiliary function Link: All 13 skeletons have been linked]
[Ding...]
[All 13 skeletons now have access to the System's Inventory]
