As they all slowly approached the altar in their halls they were all nervous. They gave it their best to get the best possible scores in the trials, they just didn’t know if it was enough, since Z was the best, their scores of ranks S and SS shouldn’t be bad right?
What they didn’t know is that less than 1% of players in any world would be able to get a score of S on any trial, which means that the scores each of them managed to get were far above being good or enough. In fact, in the class hall, Eldar and the other trainers were looking at the 6 screens in the hall. Each of them had their jaws opened wide after seeing the spectacle that Reign and the others showed during their trials.
The ones that were chosen as trainers were celebrating while the others were slightly depressed, to actually find so many talented people in one place was an abnormality. Suddenly they all stopped moving as they realized one thing, all 6 of these abnormal people were located in one place, in Eldar’s safe zone.
They all stared at Eldar as he was simply whistling while pretending that nothing was out of place. Each of them was planning on partnering their zones with Eldar’s, even if they had to work under him it would be worth it.
There were 2 people in the hall that were different from the others, however. The mage trainer Iryhtil was looking at Laura with wide-open eyes while the healer trainer Alera was standing nearby, looking with interest. The 2 of them were probably going to be one of the people that Laura will choose as a trainer, that is what they thought until now.
A couple of portals opened as 5 figures step out.
– Battlemage trainer Krykov
– Demon Hunter trainer Alister
– Illusionist trainer Ethera
– Soul mage trainer Itha
– Warlock trainer Tyran
Seeing 5 more magic class trainers enter both of them narrow their eyes. Soon they were face to face with them.
“Why are you people here?” Alera asks them while staring at Tyran who was giving her an apologetic smile.
“You know full well why, these guys were lucky and managed to snatch such talents without others noticing previously, but we’re damn sure not gonna let you simply take such an excellent student without a fight.” Tyran looks at Laura’s screen as he smiles. Yes, they were all here because of her. For someone to get such high grades in the trials, everyone was going to fight for a chance to have her as a student.
The hall was now in chaos as they all start quarreling, on the other hand, the 6 people they were observing had finally put their hands on the altar.
[Congratulations player, you are able to advance your class further, listing the available classes.]
– Swordsman Rank 2
– Sword Saint [ Infant stage ]
– Storm Bladesman
– Swordmaster [ Beginner stage ]
– Magic Swordsman
– The Samurai
– Dark Knight
…
Reign was suddenly overwhelmed by the colossal list in front of him. There were probably over 100 different classes in front of him displayed on the notification screen. He went over each one and took over 1 hour to narrow his choice down to 4.
Sword Saint – A sword saint is a man that has achieved the highest peak with the sword. There is nothing that a sword saint needs next to his blade.
The description for a sword saint was incredibly short. Of course, Reign knew that he was nowhere near the level of being called a sword saint, that is probably why the infant stage was present with the class.
Storm Bladesman – A sword user that attacks his enemy like a storm. The storm bladesman doesn’t differentiate between the types of swords he uses and he can be proficient with any.
The Samurai – A warrior that has put his honor above everything. A samurai will fight to his last to defend his ideas and defeat the enemy.
Magic Swordsman – A magic swordsman is a blend of a magic-user together with a swordsman. Such a warrior will be able to fight his opponents from both close and long-range with his many different methods of attacking.
Each class was good and at the peak of the other available classes, however, Reign quickly let go of the sword saint and samurai class. The two classes were ones where proficiency with the sword was the priority while everything else was second. The two other classes however gave him better flexibility when fighting.

Reign had in the end selected the magic swordsman class. Compared to how the other high-rank classes sounded like it didn’t seem like a good choice, but he simply had a feeling that this class was best for him, not to mention that classes were not everything as at the end of the day his ability and skill level were more important.
As for the others, each had already chosen a class and were now awaiting the rewards promised to them.
Reign was looking in front of him as a ball of lightning was suddenly materialized there. He felt a sense of familiarity as he extended his hand and touched it. Lightning suddenly explodes from it as it gets sucked in Reign’s body.
[ Skill attained ]
[ Lightning Discharge ]
Description: The user is able to unleash a terrifying explosion of lightning around himself. The more mana used the stronger the explosion will be.
Wolf on the other hand was looking at a spear made of flames. The spear was slowly coming towards him and he caught it. The fire slowly extinguishes as it gets in touch with Wolf. In a matter of seconds, the flame was no longer there and Wolf had nothing in his hand.
[ Skill attained ]
[ Flame spear ]
Description: The user can manipulate his flames into the shape of a spear. The spear can be materialized or simply be used to reinforce a part of the user’s body that will be able to pierce through the enemy with great power.
Shadow was looking at two swords made of pure darkness in front of him. They suddenly disappear and stab through Shadow’s chest. He doesn’t move however as he felt no danger coming from the swords previously, and no pain was present from the place he was stabbed at.
[ Skill attained ]
[ Shadow Swords ]
Description: By channeling mana to his weapons the user can coat them with pure shadows. The shadows will lengthen the weapons while simultaneously reinforcing their power. The higher the rank of the weapon the more mana the skill will use.
Beast was currently looking at a bright green ball in front of him. He touches it and a fierce wind blows everywhere around him.
[ Skill attained ]
[ Wind Blast ]
Description: The user can now manipulate wind on the basic level. By channeling mana the user can increase the density of air at a certain spot. After releasing the skill the air will disperse in a violent manner as wind will blast out towards the direction the user wants it to. The more mana and time is used for the skill the more powerful it will be.
Laura was also looking in front of her. A dark-red whip was fluttering in the air as she was hesitant to grab it. Steeling her heart she decided to finally grab it, after which the whip had dispersed and sucked in her.
[ Skill attained ]
[ Demonic whip ]
Description: By using the demonic power deep inside them, the user can manipulate it into a whip. The whip is a materialization of demonic power and can be used to attack enemies from both long and close range.
Tank was the one that had the biggest shock after touching a ball of mana that had four figures inside of it.
[ Special Skill attained ]
[ The Immortal Four ]
Description: The user has managed to form a close connection with four characters, so close that even before their deaths they still wondered what had happened to the user and wished they could fight together with him one more time. The skill will allow the player to summon the four for a limited time once a day.
Tank gulped as he already knew who the four people were.
