The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak

Chapter 196 Meeting



Chapter 196 Meeting

"I trust my students that they could handle this level of pressure," Bargan muttered with a smile on his face. He knew his students well. He observed them for almost a year so he naturally knew them.

Information? He already memorized all the information about his students. Their attitude in the class, exam, or special exam. He took note of that. He even recorded what skill or spell that his students redeemed. Not just that, he also knew who used points to hire a personal teacher, like Yujin who hired Alex, and Lynn who hired Sabrina.

That's why he knew well that his students could handle this pressure. This wasn't even a pressure to begin with. The students of the Mage class 1-B could even handle the pressure of Gregory's full-blown aura while fighting Souta at that time. At that time, the shockwave of that fight could even injure them but they still came and help Lumilia. They even fought some of the knights.

Their classmate was Souta Ieshi, the one who carried everyone in the special test. After the special test, their class was called the strongest class in the whole first year. Right now, they have to prove it. They didn't become the strongest class because Souta was their classmate.

They have to prove that they become the strongest class because they have the power, the strength, and the courage to face anyone.

"If you manage to pass this trail then you're truly the strongest class in all first year," Bargan muttered.

...

"Then, how about we attack them right now?" Yujin suggested to them.

"We could do that but I want Lynn to familiarize herself with her role," Souta said to him.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Lynn bowed her head as she apologized.

"No worries... We'll take it slowly. We know that they are going to come at us so we don't need to worry about the task. We'll focus on improving ourselves these days." Souta said to them.

"I think that Souta is right. We could finish the quest and defeat the other teams when they come at us." Lumilia agreed at his words.

"I don't have a problem with it," Alice said from the side.

"Yeah, for now, we should focus on the challenges. I think that the difficulty of the challenges will increase tomorrow." Souta said to them. This will not become a training if the challenges will stay the same.

"Sir, the IDs are complete." The receptionist called Souta.

Souta turned and looked at the receptionist. He looked at the three IDs on top of the desk. He took it and gave it to Lynn, Alice, and Yujin. The three of them were F-rank adventurers, the lowest rank.

The receptionist was about to tell them about the adventurers but Souta stopped her. He said that he will explain it to them in her place.

"So I'm an adventurer now," Alice muttered while looking at her adventurer's ID.

"Yeah, what do you feel about it?" Souta glanced at her and asked.

"Nothing," Alice replied to him with a plain expression.

"Well, your rank is low so it's not worth celebrating," Souta said as he shook his head. The players in the game were boasting when they become adventurers.

...

Randolf's group was outside the village. They just finished their challenges.

Randolf frowned while looking at the village. He opened his mouth and said, "This village is dangerous. Some powerful entity is observing every people that went inside the village."

Someone was watching them inside the village and that couldn't escape his sharp senses. He knew well if someone was watching his movements.

"Tch!" He clicked his tongue and said, "Just what the hell is the institute doing right now. Did they investigate every village here before or not?"

He thought that the Ladro Institute was arrogant that they placed the outdoor training in this place without investigating it. Even though this was just villages, dukedoms, and kingdoms, some of these forces could potentially harm them.

...

Souta and his group went outside the village. He looked at everyone and said, "Since this is outdoor training, why don't we train?"

"What do you mean by it?" Alice looked at him and asked.

"I mean it like that. All of you come at me and attack me at the same time." Souta said as the corner of his mouth curved upwards.

Everyone was surprised when they heard his words. They didn't think that Souta would ask them to fight him at the same time.

Souta fought them on his own. He trained them while training himself. He fought them without using his spells. He was overwhelmed by their power.

After that, he let them fight each other but he didn't include Lynn with their training. He was going to train her personally.

He asked her what training she did. Lynn explained to her that Sabrina was the one who's teaching her. She also explained how Sabrina trained her.

Souta understood that Lynn knew some powerful spells but it seems that she couldn't cast it easily. She's having a problem building the structures of a spell.

Lynn told all the spell that she knew to Souta without hesitation. She was happy that Souta was personally teaching her.

From her words, Souta understood that Sabrina was slowly building her into a hybrid mage. Different from him, a mage who could fight close combat. Sabrina was going to build her into a sensory type and support type mage.

He told her to keep training her sensory ability as it was important for her.

After saying all the things to Lynn, Souta fought Yujin in sword fights. He got overwhelmed by Yujin's pure skill in just a few seconds.

He just realized that Yujin was a master swordsman. In-game terms, he would say that Yujin had level 5 [Sword Mastery] skill.

Souta couldn't win at all. He had to use his high stats to fight Yujin on equal ground. But he guessed that Yujin was still hiding his strength. He heard from Lumilia that Randolf said that if Yujin worked with Souta at that time, they could defeat Gregory.

...

In terms of pure strength, Souta was higher than his teammates. His mana capacity and control was higher than any of them.

If it was sword skills, then Yujin would win without any doubt.

If it was their senses, then Lynn was higher than any of them.

Alice had high strength but Souta was still stronger than her. Her stats were well balanced.

He had a good grasp of everyone's strength. Lumilia could probably command them and used their strength well.

...

Later at night, after confirming Bryan's report from his teammates, Lumilia gathered everyone from her class. She explained to her classmates that they were the target of all classes.

Everyone was stunned by what they heard. They couldn't believe it at all but Bryan's team gave the evidence so they could only accept it.

"We should work together at this time. We're the target so stay in this village and complete the challenges. Don't wander far away from the village because there's a chance that you will be attacked." Lumilia paused for a moment as she looked at her classmates. "Don't worry we have a few days before they attack us. Prepare yourself for the worse. This is nothing compared to what we experience. Trust everyone and we will complete the challenge and get a huge amount of points."

"I can't wait for it. I wanted to fight them as soon as possible." Bryan said from the side with an excited expression.

"Hehe, so we're going to fight all of them," Randolf said with a laughed and he glanced at Souta. "I'm sure that Souta likes it too."

"I wonder about that..." Souta replied with a smile on his face.

"I will ask one more thing. Does anyone have a problem with me commanding the whole class?" Lumilia asked everyone in a loud voice as her eyes swept around.

"No, I don't have a problem," Bryan said without hesitation. The leader of the other teams also agreed with her.

"I don't have a problem but I want to ask a question," Randolf said as he looked at Lumilia with a smirk.

"What is it?" Lumilia asked.

"If I'm not wrong, Souta is the top 1 ranker of the first-year students. So why don't you leave the commanding position to him?" Randolf asked Lumilia as he took a swift glance at Souta.

"Class rep is the leader because she is the class rep, am I right?" Bryan asked Nayo as he tilted his head in confusion.

"...Just listen to them." Nayo sighed and said to Bryan.

"If I leave the commanding position to Souta, then Souta wouldn't be able to monitor the whole battle and command us at the same time." Lumilia looked at Souta and said, "I'm planning to use Souta's power and defeat the other top rankers. Nope, I'm planning to use all of you to defeat all the other first-year that are going to attack us. I'm going to make use of everyone's strength including you, Randolf, to win. That's all."

At the end of her sentence, Lumilia turned her head to Randolf. She was serious as there's not a hint of bluff in her words.

"Use me... What a good choice of words..." Souta muttered and his mouth curved upwards.

"Haha, fine... I like it. You're going to use someone who is stronger than you. Okay, I'll leave it to you." Randolf laughed.

...

Three days had passed quickly...
