Chapter 62: Advancement (3)

The cloud showered in a heavy rain as it collided against one another to discharge, bellowing roar of thunder and lightning that light up the entire dungeon for a moment. The gale of the wind swirled the entire land, caring about nothing.

"Uncle, it should be a good time to end this test," Aanya said in the communication device on her arm.

After a while, the voice of professor Aleister came, "Did the students choose to give up yet?"

"No, but this was a situation far beyond their capability," Aanya said, releasing a breath.

"That is why you are there," the teacher said again. "The call will be cut off any moment on the occurrence of the storm, so listen carefully, Aanya. All you have to do is protect the kids until they succeed or give up, and if the situation worsens, then teleport everyone out of there."

"Yes," she said and cut the call. Instantly, she moved her gaze to where the seven freshmen were battling against the hyenas. The other upperclassmen were already there hiding under a veil, and she too moved without attempting to release the veil. They could handle the situation for now, and as professor Aleister said, if anything went wrong, all she could do was teleport them away.

The seven freshmen were now surrounded by at least three dozen hyenas, while a few of the hyenas stood out from the pack. It had a far larger body with bare, savage fangs and claws. The seven were now in close proximity, while Elior and Leroy were keeping an eye open so that nothing went wrong.

Four of them here had reached the first order, and those four were in the forefront of the battle. Elior had not used his spatial ability yet, not that he did not want to, but because he still needed to hide it for a while more.

His spear moved along with the wind and he fractured the skull of one of the large hyenas. It laid dead on the ground as the rain moved the blood that sprayed on his body and spear.

A ray of golden light hit him and the others.

[Your attack power has been raised by 6.66%.] That's an odd number, probably because Ileana divided her ability into more people now. And there was no mana recovery boost in it.

Even without Ileana's boast, Elior had the ability to raise his attack power. He had not tried it yet after his class advancement and now was as good as any moment to use it. He imagined the vacuum of space in his mind and a void of nothingness appeared and stole all his emotions.

Elior triggered [Berserk]—the class ability he got after the first class advancement. He jerked his spear and attacked one of the smaller hyenas. The attack was successful and his attack power increased by 2%. He made another assault on the same target and killed it, now the attack power had been raised to 4%. Even though it took more mana to use this ability, the extra force it gave makes it more than just handy.

The trick of thick ability was to control the emotion like a pro or give in to rage while keeping yourself safe from any attack. If any attack hits you, the stacking of the attack power will turn to zero. Elior used the former way, while the latter way gave strength as well, but the risk there was furthermore. There was a chance of him getting mad and assaulting his friends, though the chances of that were low, as he was not angry enough to need that path.

Within a few seconds, his attack power had been raised 20% while his mana went away at 40% more speed. Everything has a price. He pulled mana in his leg and released it at once to leap off in the wind, giving a slash to the evolved hyena before him.

Meanwhile, Shin was still trying to make sense of the ability he got after the class advancement. To his knowledge, a class like Wave Runner dealt with waves and his affinity to air and water was the best attribute for the waves, yet he could not figure out how to release the wave yet.

Lara was the same. She did not have proper time to get the benefit of the class yet when the pack of hyenas attacked them. Her new class was Swordsman, and it gave them a more profound truth about swordsmanship, but she did not have enough time to digest it yet. But in the battle, she seemed to be far better than before, though she was struggling far more than before.

The trio of Elior, Leroy and Shin were causing all the damage while she was keeping the two casters safe with Hasan.

"I got it," Shin shouted suddenly and breathed in a deep breath. The mana surrounding him seemed to have stopped, and it was not just mana; even the rain droplets seemed to have slowed down, but not the hyenas coming at him.

The still air calmed down and when Shin swung his sword horizontally, a violent wave of gale released from his sword and blew away all the hyenas coming at him.

"Still not good enough," he muttered as he saw the hyenas were not dead.

The two casters in the most terrible state. Even though Ileana was getting karma points as others slaughtered the hyenas, she could only hide now. Her boast was the only thing she could help with, and only because of that, she was getting a little portion of karma from each kill. Peter got nothing. The two of them together only dealt with the hyenas that could come at them. The numbers were low, as the five before them stopped most of the numbers.

The heavy rain was not making anything easy for them, nor the wind. The battle continued for a while and finally, with the small accumulation of karma, Ileana had enough points to reach level 20.

She searched for a class that was close to her elements and found it at the top of the list. She chose the class immediately, without any second thought. And after a few seconds, she had become the Elementalist Apprentice.

The boast she gave to everyone rose to 10% present and she could give the boast of mana recovery now as well, but she chose not to for now. This ability took her mana as well, and she needed some amount of it to protect herself.

Fire spells were of no use now in the heavy rain, so she tried water that should be easy now. She clasped her palm together and formed the symbol. The water from the rain drifted to the magic circle and a heavy chunk of water formed in the air. It was hovering in the air until she released it towards the few hyenas before Lara.

Now only two of them left to get their class, and Hasan was quite close to it. He was at the lowest level when he arrived in the dungeon yesterday, but now he has overtaken Peter by a couple of levels. He only needed to kill a couple of hyenas to get to level 20. the boy could not help but feel a rush of excitement in his heart.

But abruptly, he heard the ground shaking as the muddy earth divided and a few of the large moles popped out of it. He was in danger, but he still tried to beware the others. "They are coming," he yelled. "The moles are coming. Be careful."

Fortunately, he was not the only one to notice it. Aanya released herself from the veil and appeared a dozen metres away from them. "This should be enough for today," she said and lifted her right arm. The silver bracelet in her arm changed its form as a half a foot long futuristic revolver appeared in her palm.

She did not need to fill any bullet in it and shot, not at the monster, but at the students. Her first target was Hasan, who was about to be eaten by a mole. A white ray of light shot out from the gun and pierced Hasan. Well, pierce was not the right word. The white light spread through his body as it vanished from the dungeon.

Then it shot towards Ileana, and Peter, and one by one, she had shot everyone one as all the freshmen vanished from the dungeon.
