Chapter 295: Return to Campus Life and the Reserve Team!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Moss tapped on the red question mark behind the first profession’s evolution direction and saw its contents, his eyes widened with excitement. He saw the new targets to unlock.
“Holy Belief value: 1600/2500. Locked.”
“Obtain a stronger mount. Locked.”
“Spiritual Power: Reached intermediate powerhouse level. Unlocked.”
“Search for relic fragments: 0/10. Locked.”
“Miscellaneous: Holy Belief Value is insufficient. Unable to display more information.”
‘Huh? My Holy Belief has already reached 1600 points! Looking at it this way, I’m unsure if the value has increased by a certain degree or if I’ve unlocked a new target and a new one appeared.’
After some thought, Moss noticed something else. He smiled slightly, and his eyes flashed as his heart shook. ‘Perhaps there’s a clue here.’
With that thought in mind, Moss quickly got up, picked up a book with a password lock, exited his room, and headed toward the conference room.
…
Time passed quickly, and a month passed in the blink of an eye. It was a very fulfilling month for Moss, as he even wished he could be in two places simultaneously.
Classes, club activities, reserve team training, and EDC missions took up one month of Moss’s time.
Spatial anomalies had also become more frequent in the past month, making the EDC increasingly busy. There were more missions for the Special Operations Teams too.
Therefore Moss, who could not be in two places at once, had to choose. Ultimately, he had to spend more time on the EDC missions. After all, he could complete school activities at another time, but the new EDC missions did not wait for anyone.
In addition, Moss would also find the time to participate in the search for the lost map of humanity activity. After all, he was still the captain of Tomorrow Team.
Fortunately, the spatial anomalies eased up after a period of high-frequency missions. Moreover, the national first- and second-year student competition was about to begin, so Moss placed his focus back on college.
…
Moss’s rare appearance surprised his classmates. One after another, they whispered among themselves.
“Look, Moss is back.”
“Hey, you’re right. I thought Moss dropped out of school.”
“Yeah, it’s been almost a month since those men took him away, right? So, the investigation ended, and he got released?”
Since Moss had joined the EDC’s Special Operations Team, his information was highly confidential.
Kyoto Institute could only find a seemingly harmless explanation for Moss’s absence not to damage his reputation, and that was the Magical Beasts that Moss had tamed had potential risks, and he needed to go to the EDC to cooperate with the investigation.
The students were not the only ones who were surprised. Even Nate, the primary professor for the spiritual power class, was a bit surprised when he saw Moss in his class for the first time.
Although he did not interact much with Moss, he still liked this student very much from his understanding of Moss.
Therefore, when class was about to end, Nate reminded Moss several times to make up for the lessons he had missed as soon as possible. Otherwise, Moss would face troubles during the mid-term exams.
Ring! The class bell rang.
Before Nate left, he instructed Nat, who had always performed well in his class, saying, “Nat, please help Moss whenever you have the time.”
After that, he exited the classroom with a slight sense of relief.
Moss was packing up his schoolbag when Nat approached him and handed him a few notebooks. She smiled gently and said, “Hey, Moss, these are the notes for all the lessons you missed last month. You can look at them when you have the time. If there’s anything you don’t understand, please ask me anytime.”
Moss took the heavy stack of notebooks, and warmth rose in his heart. Gratitude flashed in his eyes as he looked at Nat and said sincerely, “Thanks, Nat.”
“You’re welcome. We’re classmates, after all, and we must help each other,” Nat blushed as she spoke. She felt the temperature in her cheeks rising, so she changed the subject, “Will you participate in reserve team training later, Moss?”
Moss nodded slightly and asked, “Yes, of course. Is it still in elite training ground 1?”
Nat shook her head gently. Her hair was as smooth as willow leaves as they shook, “N-No, because the match is coming up soon. We’ve been training in Long Sheng’s field since last week.”
She looked down at her watch and continued, “It’s almost time. Let’s go.”
Moss nodded and put the notes Nat gave him into his bag. Then he and Nat walked to Long Sheng’s field.
…
As they walked into the field, Moss noticed his teammates were busy training.
‘It’s been a month since the last time I saw them. Everyone has improved quite a bit,’ Moss praised inwardly as a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes. Thus, he quickened his pace.
Moss greeted Bishop, who was busy picking out the competition attire for everyone as he walked, “Captain Bishop, I’m here.”
Bishop looked up at Moss smilingly, “Hahaha, there wouldn’t be a place for you on the team if you got back any later!” He pointed his chin toward Finley as he spoke.
Finley joined the reserve team half a month ago because the Ministry of Education announced the rules of the competition. Each university could select 11 students to train, but only ten could participate.
As soon as they announced that rule, Sofia recruited Finley into the reserve team. On the one hand, it was to comply with the rules. On the other hand, it was so someone could replace Moss if he could not participate.
“You haven’t slacked off, have you? I’ll test you later, Moss!” Bishop handed the tablet to Moss as he continued, “Take a look. Which one do you like most?”
“This gold one since it’s steady and dignified. It suits Kyoto Institute’s temperament.” Moss pointed at the middle set of attire.
“You have good taste,” Bishop patted Moss’s shoulder, “Go and prepare for your spar with Noel.”
Moss nodded and calmly replied, “Okay.”
Then he looked at Noel and noticed he was looking back at him. Moreover, Moss saw eager anticipation in his eyes.
He nodded and muttered, “It seems Noel has made great strides in his progress while I was away.”
Moss walked to where Sofia and the other professors were immediately after. It had been a month since they had last met, so he wanted to greet them out of courtesy.
Suddenly, Co-captain Gavin’s voice sounded from the training ground, “Team members, please pay attention. We will have a sparring session in a while, and afterward, we’ll divide ourselves into two groups and fight.
“Lila and Nat will get ready first. Then Moss will spar with Noel, and Charlie will spar with Finley. Immediately after, Benedict will spar with Carolyn, and Gerard will spar with me.”
