232 Chapter 232 - Ultimate Class 3, Set Off! (2/2)

”Sir, I'm very poor. Give me some money!”

”Sir, do you have any equipment you're not using?”

It was the exactly same questions that they had mentioned this afternoon.

”Alright, calm down!” Gu Fei shouted to get everyone to stop, saying, ”Guild? Teacher is already in one; grinding? Teacher usually grinds alone; quests? There are many of you here, so there's no way I can carry you all; money? Teacher still owes someone 1800 gold coins; as for equipment, I have some, so I'll give them to you guys once we head back!”

”Yay!” the students cheered. They felt very happy at having achieved one out of their five terms, and it was the most important term, too.

”Now disperse. Do whatever you want. Meet at the north gate when it's 9 P.M.,” Gu Fei waved his hands to dismiss them.

”Ah, wait! Don't go off just yet!” Ah Fa hurriedly leaped out from the group. As everyone stared at him, he explained, ”I have a quest.”

”Oh. Ah Fa can stay. The rest of you may leave!” Gu Fei changed his order.

”No, don't! It's a guild quest,” Ah Fa hurriedly added.

Guild quest… Gu Fei wrinkled his brows. He had experienced a guild quest before, and it was when he had teamed up with June's Rain. What ensued was an absolutely vexing matter that turned him from being the hunter to becoming the hunted, from him against a city of players to him being part of a city-wide battle. He recalled that that was perhaps the only time he had experienced the most bloodshed and slaughter.

As Gu Fei recalled all this, Ah Fa briefed everyone about the guild quest. Gu Fei listened in and got the gist of it. It seemed that the quest was about vanquishing a band of Brigands. Besides requiring them to kill one hundred enemies, they apparently had to capture the leader alive as well.

Besides Ah Fa, the other members of Ultimate Class 3 Guild only started playing Parallel World after its official release. Since they barely had time to play the game, being middle school students and all, their levels were pitifully low as well. Naturally, the leader of this band of Brigands was a Boss. Given how poorly equipped their guild was, Ah Fa knew that challenging the Boss was nearly impossible for them. With the help of a level 40 Mage like Gu Fei, they might achieve a satisfactory outcome in this guild quest.

”Oh? Boss?” Gu Fei perked up when he heard this. To him, fighting with players was as difficult as taking on the average monsters. Perhaps, a Boss in the game would be a better match for him. Gu Fei recalled his fight with the Mountain Bandit Leader Sooto. Although his method of attack was systematic, Gu Fei at least had to be more cautious and alert when facing him. That was a level of tension he did not often feel. ”Where is he? Take me there!”

”This way!” Ah Fa prepared to lead the way.

”Gather up, everyone. Ah Fa is leading the way!” Gu Fei shouted.

Not many people were out here, so the students did not feel uncomfortable to line up once more. They hurriedly returned into their respective rows as Ah Fa led everyone onward with renewed spirit, immensely enjoying the whole process. Why would he not be when he had such a prominent role before everyone?

The group made its way to a certain valley. This area was part of Yunxia Valley, yet it was not frequented by people to grind levels. Some players were around, so the Ultimate Class 3's uniformed arrival attracted these people's attention and they all stopped what they were doing to watch the strange procession.

The students were focused on their guild quest, so they currently did not care about the strangers' attention. They could already see their quest target in sight when they entered the valley in neat rows. The guild quest had two parts: first was to kill one hundred Brigands and second was to capture the leader alive.

”Sir, we'll leave the Boss to you!” The students expected a lot from Gu Fei. This was normal in MMOs; players usually admired those with higher level than themselves until they reached that same level and no longer held the level in high regard. Right now, these students were looking up to their teacher who had a higher level than themselves....

”Sir, you can also help us with the Brigands, but please don't kill them! Or else, the result won't be counted in our quest progress.”

Gu Fei was not a member of Ultimate Class 3, so he did not have the guild quest in his quest log. Any target he killed would only provide him experience and would of course not be included in the kill count of Ultimate Class 3's guild quest.

”Sir, please cast Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno. Let us see it in action!” Ah Fa was looking forward to this spell as he was currently only at level 34. He needed to reach level 36 before he could learn that spell.

”Lure the monsters first!” Gu Fei did not mind displaying his prowess before these students. Of course, he did not use his Moonlit Nightfalls as this group had requested him to not kill the monsters.

Although these students were young and had low levels, their gaming skills were at least way better than most of the Amethyst Rebirth ladies. While quite a number of them were girls, their coordination was better in almost every aspect than the Amethyst Rebirth ladies after spending many long hours in school and in the game with one another.

Gu Fei had also been spending considerable time every day in the company of top-tier experts inside Parallel World, so his discerning eyes had improved greatly. He could tell that he would have an easier time carrying his students than the Amethyst Rebirth ladies!

Two students that were Archers ran out to pull the monsters over as the rest glanced over at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei calmly pointed his finger forward and chanted, ”Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno! Arise!”

”Ah, sir! Why are you using it on us?!” The two students in charge of luring the monsters were momentarily stunned and they started to run left and right in panic.

”Hey! Don't run off like that!” Gu Fei fumed. Each of them ran left and right respectively, pulling the monsters to two separate directions. Gu Fei had to preemptively cast his spell due to the slow casting time he had. Had the two students continued forward, those monsters would have stepped perfectly into the Blazing Tree of a Thousand Inferno's AOE; instead, what resulted from this pull was a mess.

The students heard Gu Fei finish his incantation, yet did not see the spell spring forth, which caused them to feel boundlessly disappointed. By the time the two pulled the monsters to the left and right, the raging inferno's explosion had just sounded. Naturally, not one Brigand was burned off by it.

The students were no experts, so they failed to notice the finer details in this scene. They only thought that Gu Fei's spell was cast off-target, immediately causing them to chatter about.

”Ah Fa, is teacher even good?” someone softly asked Ah Fa. Ah Fa was after all the most knowledgeable person among them all.

”Uhm… He's okay, I guess…” Ah Fa was also uncertain himself!
