Chapter 104: Another Weapon to his Arsenal

At the end of the class, nobody managed to win the hundred credits, much to the students' disgruntlement. Obviously, the warden went a bit extra hard after they made fun of him. He was a little vicious, like that.

"Was it really like a villain monologue?" Warden asked June at the end of the class after all the students had dispersed from the classroom.

June only smiled as a reply.

"Professor," Aurel called in a tone as though she was asking for June's approval, "what did you think of the class today?"

"You two dealt with the students as good as I hoped," June said. "Although I would have liked the students winning in the challenge once or twice."

"It is only natural the student won't be able to do anything to him if he was like a walking fortress," Aurel snorted. She too fought Warden at the end, and the result only brought a deep sense of frustration in her.

"I might have gone a little harder than it was necessary," Warden admitted.

"A little?" Aurel clicked her tongue in distaste and turned to the elf. "By the way, Professor, do you have some plans at this moment?"

"Yes," June said and gestured to Warden. "We have something planned for the remainder of today."

Warden lifted an eyebrow, unsure when they had planned something together, though he wasn't complaining.

Aurel seemed somewhat peeved, hearing that. She bowed her head and disappeared, leaving the two of them there.

"So what have you planned?" Warden asked, smiling.

"I told you to be more secretive in using your Legendary grade equipment," June said with a sigh. "Did you forget about our talk about Soul Relic already?"

"Not as fast as Spirit, but there is an increase," June said. "Considering your origin, it will not be wrong to say that you have some boost in cultivating all your attributes, especially recovery."

"I barely gain anything in a recovery," he said. But then again, it is the only attribute in three digits.

It appeared they have arrived at the secret training facility, which was out in the open after they entered through various layers and types of Ward. It looked like another Warp gate, though this one was more ancient-looking.

"You seem to be only a couple of steps away from awakening Spear Intent," June said. "I'm taking you somewhere that would help in that regard."

"There is something like that?" Warden eyes shone in delight.

Although he could manifest bits of the intent ever so often when he really gets into a fight, it was never conclusive. The most probable reason he came up with was that the void energy took over the budding intent, devouring it to nonexistence. The Void has an intent of it as well, it is mostly destructive and devouring.

"It will be difficult, though," June said, "there are chances of getting heavily injured and even death."

Warden was mostly unfazed. "That seems to be the path of the rankers."

An old man with grey whiskers sat amidst various books and paraphernalia in a corner of the warp gate. He was probably the caretaker of this facility.

"You have experienced the virtual realm, but inside, it's different altogether," June explained.

"How much does it cost?" Warden asked.

"A day costs 1000 credits, irrespective of rank," June said, causing him to let out a groan. "Naturally, your expenses for healing potions would be higher than the thousand credits."

"I guess it is goodbye to all my credits then."
