Chapter 133: Skill Requirements

Chapter 133: Skill Requirements

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Despite the tension in New Washington, Xiao Lin’s life did not change much. In the day, he would work with Professor Brown, and at night, he would train in the inn. The only difference was, during his spare time after training, Xiao Lin was responsible for feeding the dragon-eagle chick that would constantly cry for food.

Department Head Song said he had urgent business, and had been missing for a few days.

Other than that, Xiao Lin would look at the four skill books whenever he was free. The basic skills were not too hard to grasp, but there were a lot of prerequisites to those skills. It would take quite some time to truly master them.

For example, the Earth-shattering chop required a level four mastery in Basic Axe-like Weapons and a MAX in Slashing. Those are the requirements that Xiao Lin referred to which needed to be fulfilled to learn that skill.

Xiao Lin once suspected he was in a game world, so he asked Song Junlang what would happen if he learned the skill without satisfying the requirements.

Song Junlang laughed out loud, and gave a simple example. It was logically possible for a year one student to jump to a year six graduating class, but the prerequisite would be that the student could grasp all the basic knowledge that a year six student knew.

Learning skills was just like that; some basic weapon mastery and mastery in slashing were the foundations to the Earth-shattering Chop. It was impossible to learn it without first having the other two.

That was also the reason why Xiao Lin chose a skill that could only be used with axes, because he had already maxed out his slashing. Slashing was a skill that could be used with any sort of melee weapon. Compared to basic weapons mastery, active skills of that sort were much harder to level up, so Xiao Lin did not want to waste it.

Lightsword had slightly higher requirements. It needed Basic Swordsmanship to be at LV6 and Basic Sword Aura at LV1.

Wind Defense needed Basic Perception LV6 and Wind Affinity LV1.

Flame Bullet needed Basic Perception LV4 and Fire Affinity LV1.

Compared to basic skills, those few skills were doubtlessly better, because basic skills usually only had one requirement, such as being able to learn Energy Bomb with just Basic Perception LV3.

Xiao Lin did not pass any of the requirements at the moment, but with the speed that the Academic Genius talent allowed him to learn at, it could all be done in a short period, which is why he did not stop learning about the skills in the notes. He was just too curious.

On the day of the SIngle Moon Festival, Xiao Lin noticed the entire city on high alert when he left in the morning. Judge Academy had sent out a large number of students to be on patrol, both in public and in hiding. Dragon-eagles patrolled the skies in squads, and the tall resurrection tower was their focal point.

“Don’t you guys get a holiday during the Single Moon Festival?” Xiao Lin idly chatted with Norn on the way, but he did not get an answer. The guy had been acting weird since a week ago.

The real celebrations only started at night, but it was obvious that even during the day that there were a lot more people out than usual. Even though the inspections at the city gate were harsher than usual, there were still a lot of natives in the crowd, waiting for the celebrations that they could only hold once every four to five years.

Professor Brown did not give them a day off, and Lolander told them the colonists did not celebrate the Single Moon Festival. The various colonial territories actually celebrated holidays from Earth. On one hand, it was out of habit, but the other more important reason was to slowly erase the influence of local traditions and cultures.

Dawn Academy held large celebrations for Spring Festival, and the western academies did the same for Christmas. Even the natives would be given a holiday, which slowly accustomed them to the festivals and celebrations of Earth.

“Surely nothing is going to happen,” Chloe said solemnly. Even her work was slower than usual. If someone wanted to mess with Judge Academy, today would without a doubt, be the best chance.”

“Relax, I believe in the might of the dragon-eagle knights!” Lolander consoled her.

“I believe that the century old city of the Americans would not be so easily toppled,” Xiao Lin said.

“I hope so…”

Bam!

The door was once again forcefully pushed open, shocking everyone. After looking at the culprit, everyone quickly tossed a confused gaze toward Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin’s eyebrow could not help but twitch when he saw the girl who waltzed inside.

Lilith was wearing a full suit of purple armor as she walked into the palace in large strides. She pointed at Xiao Lin. “I heard you’re heading back soon? That won’t do. I have to fight your giant golden dragon before you leave!”

Just two days ago, Xiao Lin and the rest of them had asked Professor Brown to allow them to return to their respective academies. Of course, they did not cite New Washington being unsafe as the reason, but instead that the job was almost complete. That was the truth, in the few days of them working extra diligently, there were less than ten stone plates left.

Xiao Lin did not know where Lilith heard the news, but her pale face was very obviously angry. She seemed to not want Xiao Lin to slip away so easily.

Xiao Lin sighed miserably, Lilith had not come looking for him in the past few days, so he had almost forgotten about it. Dueling a giant golden dragon was something most people would treat as a joke, but he did not expect Lilith to be serious, to the extent that she came over today with a full suit of armor. She probably was not going to let the matter rest.

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly. “It’s the Single Moon Festival today, and the whole city is on high alert. I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the fight today.”

“Of course, we won’t do it in the city. I’ll bring you outside. All you need to do is release your dragon!” After that Lilith, added, “You don’t have to worry about any responsibilities. I’ve already submitted a request to the mayor of New Washington and gained approval.”

Xiao Lin’s lips twitched. How could such an absurd thing be approved. Was Lilith’s position among the Americans that high? Or did they just trust her that much?

Xiao Lin exasperatedly pointed at the stone plates on the floor. “Look, I have a lot to do here, and we’re actually doing all this for your academy. You need to at least let me finish my work first.”

“You’ll be finished at some point. I’ll just wait here!”

“I’ll be working until very late.”

“I have nothing to do tonight anyway.”

“Why do you keep pestering me?”

“I wouldn’t mind if you found me another giant dragon.”

“Aren’t you afraid of dying? Even the knight regiment couldn’t defeat that dragon.” Xiao Lin tried scaring her away.

“That’s great! Only through fighting to the limit can I improve myself!” Lilith’s face was filled with bloodthirst.

Failing to dissuade her, Xiao Lin sighed again. The rest of them could only offer sympathetic looks. None of them dared draw the ire of the legendary Demon Queen Lilith.
