Chapter 18: Moss’ Strength

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

With Moss’ outstanding talent, if he chose a class that leaned toward swordsmanship, his future achievements would be limitless.

“Moss must have strengthened his body’s various functions due to his Class Awakening. That’s why he’s able to display such great strength now. After all, he’s already the number one in the grade. It’s normal for him to suppress others.”

The class teacher of Grade Two Class One looked at the scene before her and pondered for a while, trying to find out the reason for Moss’ incredible strength.

At the beginning of the Class Awakening, all students would significantly strengthen their basic physical abilities. This kind of strengthening had nothing to do with any specific class, but the awakening itself would bring improvement.

The teachers suddenly revealed a look of realization. This answer was acceptable to them.

Unfortunately, Moss had chosen the Knight class. Because of this choice, Moss’s talent would be limited to an extremely narrow range of growth.

Perhaps because the other classes were still weak, Moss could still rely on his solid personal qualities to make eye-catching actions.

However, when the other classes grew as their levels increased, the gap between Moss and them would only continue to widen.

At that time, even if Moss had excellent swordsmanship, he would still not be able to compete with the other classes. After all, the difference between the classes was not something that could be easily made up.

At this moment, the scene on the screen changed again.

“Look, Senior Moss’s teammate has been attacked!” Exclamations came from the first-year students.

The teachers could not be bothered to talk about Moss’s future development and his excellent swordsmanship any longer. They all turned their eyes to the screen in front of them.

Moss’s teammate seemed shocked by Moss’s wave of power on the screen. He turned his head to look at Moss’s power and fell into a daze.

Behind him, the three Explosive Wolves did not let go of this opportunity. They leaped up and bit towards his weak spot.

One of the Explosive Wolves was especially fast. It flashed with a cold light when close to Moss’s teammates. Even though the screen separated them, everyone present could feel the stench of blood.

“Ah!”

“This is bad. Senior Moss won’t be able to make it!”

“Danger!”

Waves of exclamations came from the student crowd.

The teachers were also affected by the tense atmosphere.

“Although Moss’s swordsmanship is strong, it’s useless in this situation.”

“This isn’t something that can be solved with swordsmanship alone. Moss’s speed and his defense can’t handle something like this!”

Now, no one felt that Moss was a weakling. Even if he chose to be a Knight in his class, he still had the strength to protect himself in a 1-Star Mystic Realm by relying on his outstanding swordsmanship.

However, this understanding was only limited to Moss. No one thought that Moss’s teammates also had this kind of strength.

At this juncture, Moss had single-handedly killed two level 2 Explosive Wolves without stopping his efforts. He would not have the strength to carry out reinforcements. Everyone felt that Moss’s teammate was hopeless.

However, this time, the development of the matter seemed to have once again exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Moss stepped forward, retracted his sword-wielding hand, and suddenly thrust it forward. The sword in his hand shot towards the direction of the Explosive Wolf that had attacked his teammate.

The longsword flew forward, almost brushing past his teammate’s head, and instantly pierced through the most ferocious Explosive Wolf. Under tremendous force, the Explosive Wolf was sent flying and was nailed to a big tree behind him.

The audience was about to heave a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, but the scene on the screen did not allow anyone to rest.

Although Moss’s critical save had temporarily solved his teammate’s fatal crisis, it was far from completely solving his predicament.

Immediately after the Explosive Wolf that was killed initially, the other two level 1 Explosive Wolves also arrived instantly.

This time, Moss no longer had any weapons. His teammate had nowhere to run!

At this moment, a white light flashed on the screen. Everyone felt their vision blur. In an instant, a transparent shield as tall as a person was formed in front of Moss’ teammate.

“What happened?”

“Whose skill is that?”

“Did Senior Moss bring some tools with him?”

Guesses rose and fell, and everyone was confused by the sudden appearance of the transparent shield.

The school director’s eyes narrowed slightly. Although this shield looked different in shape, it still gave him a familiar feeling.

He knew what kind of skill this was. It was neither a so-called tool nor someone pulling out a sword to help.

“This is the Knight’s skill, Shield!”

The others who heard his words subconsciously observed the transparent shield. Only then did they realize that this shield had many similarities to the Knight’s skill, Shield. However, this made the scene before them even more strange.

Why was the Knight’s Shield that had just awakened so big? Why was the shield that Moss released different from the other Knights’ shields?

These doubts were buried deep in the people’s hearts since they were still in the middle of the battle. It was not a good time to ask for such information.

On the screen, as the transparent shield suddenly rose, the two Explosive Wolves that pounced over did not have time to dodge at all. They directly crashed into the transparent shield. The force was so strong that one could feel the pain just by looking.

Moss’s teammate seemed to be scared silly by the scene just now. He stood still and watched everything, not moving at all.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Explosive Wolves crashed into the shield and felt dizzy, Moss stepped forward and grabbed his teammates’ weapon, killing the last two Explosive Wolves one by one as if he was slicing melons and vegetables.

‘Amazing!’ This was the only thought in everyone’s mind at the moment.

The process of Moss’s team dealing with the Explosive Wolf was so exciting and surprising. Moss’s strength made people could not help but praise him. A student who had just awakened his class could kill five Magical Beasts!

“Prodigy!” A voice filled with some effusive praise rang out.

The teachers at the top of the audience seats turned their heads, and only then did they realize that the person praising Moss was the school director.

The teachers’ expressions changed one after another, and the shock in their eyes became more and more intense.

Although up until now, the school director had already praised Moss more than once, the word “prodigy” carried more weight than the mere praise of Moss’ swordsmanship.
