Simulation Dungeon

"Mm, I got my C-class license last month," Caroso said calmly. "My magic power isn't enough for me to craft fourth-tier cards, but I can use Pandora's Eye to craft epic cards."

"However, you must not become arrogant because of your talent," Bai said with a smile. "Talent only means you have the opportunity to reach that step; it's not absolute."

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher," Caroso replied.

The two students in the back row heard Caroso's words and looked astonished.

"Pandora's Eye? He can actually use an extraordinary item of that caliber?"

"He's too strong..."

"Is this the Grand Duke's son?"

"It's okay, I believe I'll have one too in the future. My dad is already working hard."

"Alright, sit down," Bai waved her hand, signaling the two to sit.

"In our academy, there are two S-class card makers, and that's my brother and me," Bai scanned the crowd. "S+-class card makers are few and far between, even in the entire Alchemy Alliance, let alone S++-class card makers."

"For those kinds of powerhouses, you don't need to know too much for now. Avoid aiming too high."

"Your talents are all outstanding, so our curriculum will be fast-paced. In these three years, as long as you score above 95 in every subject related to card making, I can allow you to graduate early or skip grades. Even if you skip grades, you'll still be in S Class. If you have any questions, you can also ask me for guidance, but only for beginner level. Intermediate level is not something you should be dealing with yet."

"If you need to apply for a scholarship, you can also find me. Our country offers significant benefits for card makers, especially those in S Class."

"By entering this class, you are already elites."

[Damn, skipping grades?]

[Could it be that Boss Caro ran into Kare in the dungeon last time because of skipping grades?]

[Skipping three grades, is that really that casual?]

[Someone who knows the plot, please explain]

[The knowledge for beginner level is actually vast. All herbalism, alchemy, mineralogy, etc., lay the foundation in these one to three years. You could say graduating in the third year is equivalent to graduating high school for us.]

[Boss Caro might not be able to reach 95 in all subjects in the first year. Remember Xilok, the top student from Utopia? She skipped grades in her second year with 95 in all subjects, and people have been bragging about it since the game launched. Even that old woman has to rely on her age to suppress her.]

[The most outrageous thing is that Xilok is an Elf. She's already over three hundred years old, a hidden big shot in Utopia.]

"Right now, you only have the most basic textbooks, and I believe many of you have already finished them," Bai continued. "Those are books available on the market. The school's curriculum will naturally not be this simple. What we will explain later are things not circulated on the market."

"Also, it's the same for card-making related subjects."

"Today, we won't be covering any curriculum. The first class is a diagnostic test, which means practical combat."

A slight smile appeared on Bai's face. "We can go to a simulation dungeon for combat. Your opponent will be me. Let me see the limits of your strength and the upper limit of your card decks. Don't worry, like you, I will only use third-tier card decks and only thirty points."

"The upper limit of the power I use will not exceed your current power limit."

Soon, everyone arrived outside a building that resembled a factory.

Bai opened the large iron gate, and a metallic scent wafted towards them.

Inside, magic stones of various colors were emitting light, and huge mechanical gears were exposed, rotating.

Workers in overalls were either repairing gears or imbuing magic stones with magic power.

Most students in the school didn't have mechanical arms or eyes, but there were quite a few here.

Soon, a hint of surprise appeared on Caroso's face as he saw a familiar person.

Krumen Hill, dressed in a work uniform, was diligently repairing something behind a gear.

Zzzzt...

White light illuminated her face, her expression focused and serious.

Caroso thought, this girl is truly giving it her all. How many jobs is she working on at once?

"Alright, this is the simulation dungeon site," Bai's gaze fell on the deepest part. All the mages channeled some energy downwards, then converged in the center, finally forming a magic circle.

"As everyone knows, dungeons are the most pressing issue in this world right now," Bai said, clasping her hands behind her back. "Some say dungeons are a microcosm of ancient ruins, while others say they are projections of other worlds."

"What is certain is that the resources in dungeons are inexhaustible, and they are an important channel for us to obtain resources. If the conquest fails, it will lead to monsters from the dungeons invading this world."

"Of course, even if they invade reality, it's not unmanageable."

"Even if monsters from ninth-tier dungeons escape, the United Nations will deal with them; it's not our concern."

"Brother Caroso, do we really not need to worry about it..." Elena sidled up to Caroso, asking cautiously, "I heard dungeons are very dangerous..."

"Mm, they are indeed very dangerous," Caroso said softly. "For now, it's not our concern."

Monsters from dungeons of seventh-tier and above escaping would be a disaster for nearby cities and even some small countries.

Even the Azure Wolf Province could barely handle a seventh-tier dungeon going out of control.

"When we enter the simulation dungeon this time, there will be no danger. You won't have to face simulated monsters; you only need to face me," Bai pointed to herself. "So, let's go one by one."

As Bai spoke, she led everyone to the edge of the magic circle.

"First one... let me see who will sign in first today." Bai casually opened a record on a magic stone. "Hmm, the first one is Adler."

"Okay!" The boy named Adler stepped forward.

Soon, the two entered the dungeon together.

In less than three minutes, Adler came out with a look of regret, and Bai followed him out. "Next..."

Another young man walked in.

Just as they were fighting, another team arrived.

"Brother," Nimel bowed to Caroso.

"Mm," Caroso nodded.

It was the S Class from the Magic Academy, with the Vice Principal personally leading the first class. He was the most powerful Mage in the academy.

After that, Caroso didn't speak to Nimel again. The Vice Principal also led people in one by one. This simulation dungeon could accommodate more than one battle at a time.

The people from the Magic Academy lasted longer, while the Alchemy Academy, mostly not skilled in combat, came out quite quickly. Even Rayne only lasted five minutes.

"Caroso, come in," Bai beckoned to Caroso.

"Nimel, come in."

At the same time, the Vice Principal's side had also completed two battles and beckoned to Nimel.

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
