Mylanne City.
When Caelan returned to this old place, everything felt as if it belonged to another lifeti.
It had clearly only been a few months since he had last co back, yet he felt an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
He walked across the school’s athletic field, quietly enjoying the breeze brushing past him.
Because school had not started yet, the campus was very quiet. Before he knew it, Caelan had arrived at the teaching building where he had once forged his longsword.
Back then, he had shed who knew how much sweat here.
But looking back on it now, everything had been worth it.
Caelan picked up his longsword. Although it had been reforged by the dwarven blacksmith, traces of its forr self still remained.
Just then, a surprised voice sounded from outside the door.
"Student Caelan? Why are you back?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Caelan was slightly stunned as well. He subconsciously turned around and happened to see the academic dean’s delighted and unexpected face.
"Dean, you’re not on vacation?"
The mont the academic dean heard the word "vacation," his face instantly filled with resentnt.
"I was supposed to be on vacation, but the principal said we had to organize a study tour, so..."
"Ah, well, since you’re already here, you might as well go et your juniors. They all see you as a role model now!"
Caelan was slightly stunned. He had not even agreed yet, but the academic dean had already dragged him into the large lecture hall.
The so-called study tour was, in reality, just sothing organized by the school where they went out to have so fun while conveniently collecting a fee.
In any case, there would definitely be touring. As for whether anyone actually learned anything, that depended entirely on the individual.
When Caelan suddenly appeared, the entire lecture hall fell into a brief silence of astonishnt before instantly erupting into a frenzy.
"It’s Senior Caelan! He actually appeared! This study tour has already been worth the ticket price, guys!"
"Senior Caelan, are you real? I never thought our school would actually be able to invite you back!"
"I heard that Senior Caelan is already the vice commander of the Ironclad Legion now. Can you tell us how you did it?"
Facing the endless stream of questions from the students, Caelan smiled and walked onto the podium.
In truth, he had not expected himself to be so popular among his juniors.
But thinking about it from another perspective, this also proved that his strength had indeed changed the entire school’s attitude toward him.
This feeling of changing his fate with his own two hands was honestly not bad.
Especially when faced with those innocent eyes, Caelan even felt a little embarrassed to lie.
So he cleared his throat and said with a calm expression,
"The reason I was able to beco the vice commander of the Ironclad Legion was actually mostly because of luck. After all, aside from my own powerful strength, I also have to thank my grandfather and my maternal grandfather."
"What? You’re asking who they are? One of them is the commander of the Ironclad Legion, and the other is the honorary commander of the Ironclad Legion."
In the next mont, the entire lecture hall instantly fell deathly silent.
The academic dean, who was sitting in the first row, felt his entire mind go numb.
No, Student Caelan, I invited you here because I hoped you could encourage the students a little. But look at you. You directly showed everyone the bloody reality, didn’t you?
However, Caelan on the podium seed to have already found the direction of his speech.
No matter how desperately the academic dean gestured at him, Caelan directly chose to turn a blind eye.
Mm...
This was a habitual action.
Back when he was still in school, Caelan had done the sa thing.
"...So, students, you should clearly understand that there really is a gap between people, and there is no such thing as true fairness. As for your future developnt, if you have connections, then rely on connections. If you don’t have any connections, then work hard!"
"Rember to be smart. Don’t let your blood rush to your head and disregard your own life. When I was clearing Instances, I saw plenty of idiots who charged forward with their weapons without considering the monsters’ skills at all."
"...In short, the cruelty of being an awakener is far more terrifying than you imagine!"
...
A thoroughly satisfying speech lasted for more than an hour.
During that hour, the academic dean’s shirt was soaked through with cold sweat who knew how many tis.
Later on, there were several occasions when he wanted to stand up and interrupt Caelan’s speech.
However, with just a single glance from Caelan, he decisively chose silence.
After all, Caelan’s current strength was definitely not sothing a re academic dean like him could challenge.
More than an hour later, Caelan finally stopped his speech, still feeling sowhat unsatisfied.
His gaze swept across the students present. He saw that every single one of them had solemn expressions, and they had unconsciously clenched their fists.
Many students had even developed an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Mm...
These students were not bad!
Caelan silently evaluated them in his heart. Then, using the excuse that ti was up, he hurriedly flashed away.
Only after Caelan left did the academic dean finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
He truly had not expected that after not seeing Caelan for just one or two months, this kid would actually undergo such earth-shaking changes!
Still...
He wondered what Caelan had experienced during this period to grow so quickly!
...
Blackstone City-State.
Alyssa was alone outside the city, holding her lance as she fard monsters.
At so unknown point, she had suddenly realized that she had already fallen far behind Caelan.
Although she clearly knew the gap between their classes, Alyssa still found it sowhat difficult to accept.
Therefore, after receiving Talia’s special training, she chose to go out alone for practical experience.
And Blackstone City-State was one of her destinations.
After killing the monster before her, Alyssa wiped the fine sweat from her forehead.
She subconsciously glanced at her [Star Ascension Quest], then gently exhaled.
If she worked just a little harder, she would complete it very soon!
Thinking this, Alyssa was just about to continue forward when the space before her eyes suddenly twisted violently.
Before she could react, a powerful suction force directly dragged her into another dinsion!
When Alyssa opened her eyes again, she finally realized that she had been swept into an alternate dinsion.
A so-called alternate dinsion could be simply understood as an area ford after two spaces collided and distorted.
Such places often hid more powerful monsters, as well as far richer treasures.
Although Alyssa was sowhat nervous about all this, she did not panic. In fact, she had long since prepared herself for the possibility of being drawn into an alternate dinsion.
That was because in her [Star Ascension Quest], [Quest Two] required her to clear an alternate-dinsional space.
Therefore, Alyssa had made ample preparations and had looked through a great deal of information.
The only thing Alyssa had not expected was that the alternate dinsion would be triggered so quickly.
So next, I should first explore the terrain, then advance carefully, and after that...
Just as Alyssa fell into thought, a pink figure suddenly flashed before her eyes!
