Chapter 48 (2/2)

Dick was the only one who stood there, unwavering, his eyes wide open, staring in the direction of the cave.

As Class 256’s instructor, he was also a Knight who had completed his first job transition long ago, and he had the basic ability which all Knights who had undergone their first transitions had, namely Reduced Force Field.

Such a force field was made from applying waves and mental cultivation methods to communicate with the ether particles which were everywhere. It allowed one to transmit one’s own physical strength anywhere within a ten meter range, forming a force field. However, with the fading of the Waves during transmission, such an ability could at most display only half of the person’s strength.

Putting up a force field as a barrier before him, Dick was not affected by the raging winds in the least, and he saw Kaunitz’s figure gradually come out from the secret realm.

“He’s out!”

“Has he succeeded?”

“Has he completed the first transition?”

Everyone had their gazes fixed on Kaunitz, who had just stepped out of the secret realm. A proud smile broke out on the latter’s face.

After exiting the secret realm, Kaunitz stretched out his palm towards Jack and Anthony, and with a light grasp the two of them flew up in midair, as if they had been wrapped by a big invisible hand and then lifted up.

“Succeeded?”

“It’s Reduced Force Field!”

Jack hollered, “Kaunitz, what are you doing?!”

“Are you crazy?” Anthony asked. “It is forbidden for students to attack each other in the academy.”

“Hmph hmph.” Kaunitz gave a cold snort and with a wave of his palm, he tossed the two of them to the ground, bruising them.

Looking at the two’s infuriated gazes, he calmly said, “I’m only trying out my abilities after going through the job transition.”

Dick smiled and walked over, giving Kaunitz a hug and saying, “Congratulations. You are the fastest person to ever complete the first transition in the academy’s entire history.”

Afterwards, he turned towards Jack, Anthony and the others and continued, “You guys must learn from Kaunitz. Don’t be like some people who indulge in wishful thinking all the time.”

A cold smile appeared in the corner of Kaunitz’s lips, and he looked at Jack and said, “You two can go tell Fang Xingjian that I’ve completed my first transition. I’m looking forward to teaching him a good lesson in two and a half months.

“He’ll learn who is the one who truly deserves the Prefectural Champion title, and who is the true genius.”

After this, the group made a proud exit, leaving Jack and Anthony looking at each other in dismay.

Much later, Jack asked, “Do you remember what was the first transition job that Kaunitz applied for?”

Anthony swallowed and said, “Six Armed Asura. The requirements are that all attributes have to be at least 30 points. One must have three specific specialities, namely Multitask, Invertebrato1 and Extreme Eruption. And on top of that, one must know over ten sets of sword techniques.”

“Out of the seventeen, it is the job with the highest attack power.”
