Chapter 362 The Temple Atop a Hill



There were several European-styled buildings spread across the academy complex, and although each of them looked exactly the same, they were all for different purposes.

For the class today, Nox and the rest of the special class students were heading to the far end of the academy, where he suspected the building or area for the Special Class would be located.

Along the way, Nox realized that he wasn't the only one clueless about the test; the rest of the students were equally oblivious.

"Hey, do you know what the test is about?" Blake asked a student.

"I don't know."

"Me neither, though I suspect it must be something special."

A student rolled her eyes and said sarcastically, "Of course, it's literally called the Special Class."

"Perhaps... the ranked students might know more about it."

"Unfortunately, I have no idea as well," Nox said as he accelerated his stride. Soon enough, he, along with everyone else, arrived before a massive double gate. It was only after seeing the gate and the absence of any students or instructors that the group realized they were actually at the back of the academy complex.

Standing in front of the gate was a single individual.

"Guild Master!"

"What is he doing here?"

The individual with broad shoulders and a commanding presence was none other than the Guild Master, Boris Fanum. He stood in an upright posture, his stern look enhanced by sharp glints in his eyes that suggested he was a no-nonsense man. As soon as their eyes fell on him, the quiet chatter of the students completely ceased, and everyone wondered why he was here.

The Guild Master of the Adventurer's Guild in the royal capital was very famous and recognized as one of the strongest experts in the capital, just below the Big Four in terms of strength. Therefore, the students quickly recognized him.

Boris Fanum swept his gaze across all the students and didn't say anything for a full minute. Despite spotting his son amidst the students, his gaze didn't linger, nor was there any glint of familiarity as he looked past him.

Wendy stepped forward at that moment and announced in a clear, loud voice: "Students, as you all know already, this man is Boris Fanum, and he will be your main sword mastery instructor!"

"Our instructor?" The students' eyes widened in both shock and amazement as they registered what Instructor Wendy had said. It was at this moment they truly realized the prestige and grandeur of the Vermilion Royal Academy. To think they could even get a noble, powerful, and well-respected expert to teach in the academy...

"Damn!" The students cried out in ecstasy and joy, grateful that they were fortunate enough to attend the academy.

However, a few people, like Nox, Nyx, Theo, Kali, Zara, and the full-bodied figure, watched with neutral expressions; not even a flicker of excitement could be seen on their faces. This was not because they weren't impressed by Boris's reputation, but because their standards and expectations were already sky-high.

This was especially true for Nox, who had witnessed and experienced a lot in his short life of fifteen years. Right now, in his mind, he was analyzing how long he would last against Boris Fanum if the two were to battle.

Just from the expert's title, it was easy to understand that Boris was above Level 100, but Nox didn't dare act cocky as he didn't really know the kind of skills the Guild Master possessed.

'For all I know, it could be one that directly counters my skills.'

Just then, the Guild Master, who had been silent all this while, stepped forward and spoke in a deep, authoritative voice, "Welcome, students. You've been chosen for the Special Class not because of your potential, but because of what you've already proven. From this moment on, you will be expected to surpass yourselves at every turn."

Boris's brief but powerful words seemed to stir something in the hearts of the students present, and they nodded their heads with determination.

"Our first class for today is behind these gates, in the academy's backyard," Boris gestured at the gate behind him.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What are we going to do there?"

"Isn't it obvious? The Special Class would be held there."

While the students whispered amongst themselves, Nox narrowed his eyes as he looked through the bars of the gate at the dirt path that led straight ahead. Even without going through the gates, he could tell that the island was very large.

"For today, your first lesson will be to acquire soul fruits." Boris held up a blue berry-like fruit with black stripes all over it. The strange fruit was surrounded by a faint aura that made it seem very appealing to the eyes.

The students suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to take a bite of the blue-and-black-striped berry.

Boris explained when he saw their salivating expressions, "These fruits are also referred to as EXP Fruits, and as the name suggests, upon consumption, they can grant experience points."

"Huh, is there really something like that?"

Apart from some nobles, most students were extremely shocked when they learned about this.

"The reason most of you don't know about this fruit is because these soul fruits are very rare and were purposely kept a secret by the higher echelons in the Vermilion Kingdom. Fortunately, as special students, you have the privilege of accessing this fruit."

Pointing at the gate, Boris said, "Beyond this gate, you'll find these fruits. Your task is simple: enter, survive, and acquire as many soul fruits as you can."

"Fruits that can grant experience points?" The students gasped in excitement and couldn't help but think the task was too easy.

This is a very convenient way to level up... it seems there's still so much I have yet to know about this world, Nox silently mumbled to himself.

A moment later, after speaking for some time, Boris Fanum opened the gates, and the students flocked in under the guidance of Wendy.

As they all left, Bridget silently approached the Guild Master and, folding her arms, said in a somewhat concerned voice, "Is it really wise to not tell them about the Titan Skyripper that guards the soul fruits?"

"Heh," Boris chuckled evilly as he said without a hint of care in his voice, "If they think anything is handed for free in this world, it would be best if the Titan Skyripper gets rid of them first."

Meanwhile, as soon as Nox passed through the double gate, his eyes immediately fell on a temple-like building atop a hill.
