Chapter 33: Moss’ Knight’s Shield, A Difficult Problem for the Teacher
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This cold snort immediately attracted all the teachers present. The teacher of Class One also turned to look at the director, but the director withdrew his gaze from the teacher and said simply,
“Theoretically, a Knight can produce multiple shields.”
The teacher-in-charge was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized that the director was talking to her and answering her question.
A wave of disbelief touched her heart. She had never expected that the director would open his mouth to help her out at the most critical moment.
The headmaster took over the director’s words and continued, “Because the defensive power of an ordinary Knight’s Shield is too weak, it can not last until the cooldown of the skill ends before it is shattered. This is also why it is rare for Knights to display multiple shields.”
After saying this, the headmaster even looked at the class one teacher and said, “You have to be prepared for this kind of common sense. This is only the first test. After this, don’t ask such questions again. Otherwise, you will become a laughingstock. Do you understand?”
The headmaster’s words were laced with danger, but the teacher had to accept it. How could she not know that the headmaster was trying to help her?
She hurriedly put on an open-minded attitude and nodded, “I see. Thank you, director and headmaster, for your clarification.”
The headmaster nodded. The other teachers around also expressed that they had been taught. A few other teachers began asking questions too. The atmosphere in the teacher’s audience seemed to have become much more peaceful.
While the teacher-in-charge of Class One heaved a sigh of relief, she also secretly bore a grudge against Cullen and the others. They had almost caused her to be ostracized.
At this moment, a wave of exclamations came from the students’ seats.
The teachers turned their heads to look, and only then did they realize that the Level-5 Explosive Wolf had finally failed to dodge the transparent shield that Moss had suddenly summoned. It seemed that the effects of its paralysis had reached a point that could not be ignored.
The Explosive Wolf had rammed straight onto the transparent shield. A human-like expression of extreme pain appeared on the wolf’s face.
“It’s a hit!”
“Good!”
“The paralysis potion has already taken effect!”
Seeing this, the spectating students cheered.
Moss did not miss this opportunity. With a flash of sword light, he followed closely behind the Explosive Wolf. Moss seized the opportunity when the wolf could not dodge in time and crashed onto the shield. His sword slashed onto the wolf’s body.
Blood splattered everywhere! A large gash instantly appeared on the stomach of the Level-5 Explosive Wolf.
“Senior Moss did a great job!”
“Senior Moss’s sword is so cool!”
“Senior Moss actually killed a Level-5 Magical Beast!”
Seeing Moss’ feat of killing a Level-5 Magical Beast, the lower grade students discussed and cheered. The scene was pushed to an unprecedented level of intensity.
This time, even the teachers could not help but fall into a joyous atmosphere. The teachers were not stingy with their applause. They gave their encouragement to Moss entirely.
Aisha was so excited when she saw Moss kill a Level-5 Explosive Wolf that her nose and eyes turned red.
“That’s great!”
She let out a long breath, relieved for Moss’ safety. After that, a trace of pride appeared on her face.
Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Moss on the screen. A sense of pride rose in her heart. This was her student. This was the disciple she had chosen.
Aisha suddenly felt the excitement she had felt when she had just become a teacher.
Beside her, the teacher-in-charge of Class One was clapping with a smile. It seemed that she was also happy about Moss’ achievements. No one noticed it, but when her gaze passed Aisha, there was a hint of envy in her eyes.
The lively celebration lasted for a long time before it gradually subsided.
On-screen, Moss and Alan made some preparations and then continued on their way to the depths of the Mystic Realm.
Moss’ crisis had temporarily come to an end. The Level-5 Explosive Wolf had been eliminated. After that, Moss and Alan had never encountered an enemy as powerful as the Level-5 Explosive Wolf again.
Gradually, the number of people watching Moss’ screen gradually decreased.
It was not that Moss’s performance was not spectacular enough, but that he could even deal with a Level-5 Explosive Wolf. Everyone present had a strong recognition of Moss’s strength. Therefore, the routine battle between Moss and the Explosive Wolf did not seem exciting after that.
However, when everyone saw the situation of the other teams on the field, they finally realized how powerful Moss was now.
“Look, the Gladiator team over there was almost wiped out by three Level-1 Explosive Wolves.”
“Eh? Where’s the Beastmaster team that I was paying attention to? They were all wiped out?”
“That senior looks quite handsome. I didn’t expect him to be unable to take a beating like that. He couldn’t even deal with a Level-1 Explosive Wolf.”
“Sigh. The senior I like was so scared that her legs went soft just by hearing the Explosive Wolf’s voice. But she still looks cute, though….”
As more and more people turned their heads to look at various other teams, they realized that all of them seemed to have fallen into different levels of trouble and were forced to slow down the pace of exploring the Mystic Realm. No team emulated Moss and became stronger as they fought.
This constant comparison made the performance of Moss’ team even more apparent, especially when it came to the strength of Moss himself.
At this moment, the director also temporarily shifted his gaze away from Moss’ team and started to wander around the other groups.
After looking around, the director’s face was unsightly as he said in a deep voice, “Na’er…”
The headmaster immediately quivered and quickly turned to look at the director. He asked respectfully, “Director, what’s wrong?”
The director gestured at the image on the screen with his chin. He glanced at the headmaster and asked, “What do you think?”
The headmaster naturally saw the other students’ unsatisfactory performance on screen. However, it was not good for him to express his dissatisfaction with these students.
This test was originally a teaching reform in response to the call from the front line. The Mystic Realm used was specially selected to be complicated. Such realms allowed newbies who had just Awakened their professions to enter; thus, there was a certain degree of irrationality to it.
However, although this was the reason, the director who valued this educational reform most definitely could not report that this test has been entirely successful.
The headmaster could not help but feel a little troubled.
