Chapter 434 - Discussion With Mara

Chapter 434 - Discussion With Mara

Since Gustav wasn’t restricted like the others, he planned to visit, but the problem was even he had doubts about being able to handle mixedbreeds that could easily destroy first step Martial rank mixedbloods.

Most of the seniors who had been here for three years already were at the Falcon ranks. The strongest ones had already achieved Echo rank, which was why they were allowed there for training.

Gustav decided to push this to the back of his mind for now and wait till he was at the peak of Gilberk rank before deciding to visit there.

Right now, he was at the second step, so he calculated that he should be able to reach the peak in about two to two and a half months.

Normally, it would take longer, but he still had a higher bloodline channeling speed due to the effect of accumulating Syrrhavo.

Gustav decided to continue channeling his bloodline after resting for a bit.

In the next two hours, he opened his eyes and moved towards the living room.

He made a gesture for the door to slide open.

Shhhsshh!

In front of the door, E.E could be seen standing in place with his right hand raised up, and fist tightened. It was obvious that he was just about to knock.

"Hey how did you k..." Before E.E could complete his sentence, Falco interrupted from the side.

"It’s Gustav, of course he’d know," He said while walking in.

"Hey Gus," Aildris greeted from behind also with a wave as he lowered his head slightly while walking in so he wouldn’t hit his head on the doorframe.

E.E also walked in after that, and another round of discussion began between them.

"Yeah I heard that Elevora is now a peak Gilberk rank," E.E voiced out.

"Damn, the bloodline strengthening boosted her rank that much? And I’m still at peak Serial rank," Falco said with a look of disbelief.

"I barely managed to reach the Gilberk rank..." E.E added.

"Aildris was close to the Gilberk rank earlier... He’s definitely beyond first step," Falco stated while staring at Aildris.

"Just at the second step... Nothing grand," Aildris said with a dismissive look.

"What about you Gus?" E.E asked.

"Same, nothing grand," Gustav responded.

"Wait what? You’re also at the second step Gilberk rank?" E.E and Falco asked at the same time.

"Hmm, yeah any issues with that?" Gustav asked with a suspicious gaze.

"Weren’t you initially like second step Serial ranked or was it third...?" Falco said with a disbelieving look.

"Ah I remember the mean looking Dr Levi mentioned the accumulation of Syrrhavo would be a boost... This was one good boost though," E.E said with a look of understanding.

"I heard that Endric’s bloodline went through a sort of mutation after the Strengthening Process and now a rumor has been going around about the possibility of a S-grade bloodline coming into existence," Falco voiced out.

"They’re still examining his bloodline and waiting for results since the grade of his bloodline was unable to be computerized after the bloodline strengthening operation... And from what I heard he has shown some new remarkable abilities," E.E said with a contemplative expression.

Gustav’s eyebrows raised slightly as he heard that.

’The system rewards for one of the five years quest also mentioned an S grade bloodline... This is a sign that it might be possible for mixedbloods with S-grade bloodlines to exist,’ Gustav thought, ’This makes Endric even more of a threat than before... I should get this over and done with as soon as I can,’

"By the way, Gustav’s battle with Chad is going to be the first special class duel... Would be totally fun to watch," E.E said with light laughter.

"This will also be my first time going against a special class... Hopefully, I can go all out," Gustav said with a low tone, ’Even though I know I can’t,’ Gustav sighed internally.

("Well in the next four months you’ll be given your first mission. You can go all out on the enemies you’ll be going against... Also, you only have to spend two years in total here unlike many others,") The system voiced internally.

Gustav was about to respond when E.E spoke.

"You do know how tricky his bloodline abilities are, right?" E.E asked.

"Hmm, yeah I remember," Gustav said as he recalled some of the battles from the special class cadet challenge day.

Chad’s bloodline literally deals with blood, and that makes him close to unstoppable during battles.

All his opponents during the special class cadet challenge were not able to get a single hit on him regardless of how strong they were.

Gustav had observed everyone’s battle well enough, so if he ever found himself in a situation where he had to battle a special class, he would know how to counter effectively and wouldn’t be caught in a surprising situation.

On this note, Gustav already mapped out his moves in his head.

He was only excited about the fact that he would be battling a special class that was relatively on the strong side.

Gustav and the others kept discussing for quite some time and made plans together before everyone finally went to their various rooms after Gustav cooked them dinner.

A few days earlier, he had met with Mara again, who brought him up to speed on everything that had been happening so far.

Gustav recalled that she seemed a little worried when he asked about boss Danzo.

-----------------------

"He’s fine... I guess," Mara said with a wry smile.

Knowing Mara for being someone who was always jovial, Gustav saw her response as a red flag and decided to make more enquiries.

"Are you sure?" Gustav asked.

"Hmm, well... He seems quite weird lately when I spoke to him. Not only does he sound more tired but he also sounds really monotonous.... Grandpa is always excited when speaking to me, but this time it was really weird," Mara opened up.
