Chapter 146 - Concept

 

Klang!

 

I immediately threw the sword in my hand as a long spear materialized in its place, I lightly tapped the ground as I dashed towards Ian.03.

 

[ You have successfully killed your enemy. ]

 

[ Current kill count: 2 ]

 

While using weapon reinforcement was impossible with an energy rank of E-, just by relying on my ’Critical Aim’ concept and my overwhelming physical stats that were roughly double that of Ian.03, I was easily able to pierce his heart without any trouble.

 

‘So that’s what the message meant…’

 

After confirming my suspicion through this test, I was easily able to grasp the meaning of this mission.

 

As level 0 was quite true to its name, it meant that this wasn’t the actual class trial or at least not the main one, it was more like a test for one's foundation.

 

Basically, to acquire classes one had to be deserving of them, being able to wield them and having enough base foundation to benefit and make use of these classes, this was the concept of level 0.

 

A person who entered this class trial had to perform his current abilities to kill his immortal doppelganger (only in appearance) several times, it seemed simple however, there was an untold hidden rule, using the same ability to try and score another kill was a useless act, to score a higher number of kills, one’s arsenal of abilities had to be numerous as well, with each of them being strong enough to kill a peak human enemy with perfect basic skills…

 

Following this line of thought, scoring a higher number of kills meant that one would be able to access into higher levels and obtain highly ranked classes, this only made since as only normal rank classes would focus into a single ability, Special ranked classes and above either polished a single major ability using other minor ones as support or depended on a perfect synergy between several types of abilities to grant great combination abilities with boosted effects.

 

After coming to this realization, I threw away any plans of holding back as I decided to unleash all of my abilities that met the standard to get a chance of receiving higher ranked classes!

[ Current kill count: 19! ]

 

Using the free ability to materialize any weapon of choice, I was easily able to exhibit all of my lethal abilities in a certain order to maximize the current of kills that I could receive.

 

It only took 10 minutes, but I had already laid out most of my cards, and since I couldn’t use an immediate transfer after I refused to with the first kill, not to mention the time being calculated into the overall score. I… simply decided to use the rest of the time to practice my ‘Lightning steps’ while running away from the practically immortal Ian.21!
