Once Mikey from the Opus Deities made his bid, no one else continued.After confirming three times, the auctioneer announced that Mikey was the winner!“The auction’s winner is Sir Mikey of the Opus Deities!”“Let’s give Sir Mikey a big round of applause!”The applause was loud. Mikey had a strong reputation as a member of the Opus Deities.Everyone stood up and congratulated Mikey respectfully.Mikey paid them little attention and went straight to the second floor to Charlotte’s office.At that moment, Draken was sitting across from Charlotte in the office, handing over the 50 White Spirit Flowers.“I’ve finished the previous quest.”Charlotte counted the flowers, smiled, and said, “Everything looks good. I’ll transfer 100,000 to your account right away.”Draken nodded. With the new 100,000, he had a total of 160,000.The office door opened, and Mikey walked in.“Miss Charlotte, I won the auction.”He said this with a smile and then noticed Draken.“He… is Erebus?”Charlotte quickly
Mikey looked at Draken in surprise. "Are you really a student?"Draken shrugged. "Why would I lie about that?"Mikey rubbed his forehead and exhaled deeply, realizing he had met a genius.He sighed with relief, glad about his decision at the auction.Then, he smiled brightly. "Draken, follow me. I'll take you to choose a golden skill stone tablet."Draken followed him without hesitation.Mikey took Draken to an ancient stone door which was had in it a modern scanner. Mikey walked in and was scanned, and the heavy door slowly opened, and a brilliant golden light shone from inside."Go in and pick a skill you like," Mikey said as Draken stoodon one spot.Draken walked in, and the golden light faded.Draken saw tall display cabinets filled with golden skill tablets. He felt overwhelmed, not knowing which one to choose.He thought about what abilities he needed next and found out that he did not have control skills.He spotted a control skill called [Uppercut], which seemed perfect for hi
Draken arrived just in time for the exams, causing his homeroom teacher to sigh with relief."Make sure you're prepared for the exams," the teacher advised."Given your abilities, you'll need to work extra hard.""Don't worry, I've prepared," Draken responded, and went into the classroom.His classmates offered words of encouragement."Draken, you can do it! Even though you're not the most talented, we can all see how hard you work. Don't give up. Some of us have even less talent, but we're still trying our best."Draken smiled and replied, "Thanks, everyone. Let's all aim for good results."The homeroom teacher then explained the new exam rules. The country was divided into two main branches: the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Culture.As more dangerous beasts appeared, the Ministry of War appointed a new head of the Ministry of Culture's education sector, a young military officer named Gaffa.Known for his strict and tough personality, Gaffa had made significant changes to the
Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.
Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you
Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa
Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?
When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im
