Tina stared intently at the girl opposite her, her emerald green hair expressionless, who looked quite young.

That cold gaze and wanton attack method clearly showed that the other party didn't care about the surrounding people at all. If this was combined with the fact that the other party was Demi-Human Species, then it would make sense.

"That guy!"

Tina glanced at the damaged stalls around her out of the corner of her eye; thankfully, no one was injured.

Vine Entanglement!

Glug glug~

The floor beneath my feet cracked.

Green vines grew rapidly, forming a net that surrounded Tina. Then, the vines wriggled and tightened quickly, trying to envelop her completely.

Swish!

Tina's eyes flashed, and she reached into her waist with her right hand, pulling out a sharp dagger with blood-red patterns. She then spun and slashed rapidly around herself.

Click click click!

The tightening green vines were swiftly severed by the sharp dagger, turning into fragmented, tiny vine branches that scattered through the air.

Tina leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and nimbly jumped out of the vines that had surrounded her, landing steadily on the ground.

"That's all. I have no hostility towards you." Tina said coldly, her gaze passing over the Verdant Leaf Witch and looking at a blonde girl behind her.

That seemingly ordinary girl was another member of "Free Will" named Enri.

What bad luck!

Tina thought to herself, "What do you mean?"

With her abilities, it's not just ordinary people she can track; even some skilled adventurers would find it difficult to detect her tracking techniques.

Surprisingly, the Verdant Leaf Witch discovered them.

It wasn't because of magic, but purely due to sensory abilities.

In the words of Thief and Assassin, it should be called "danger perception," a very important ability for professionals like them.

Because someone who lacks this ability cannot be considered a qualified Thief or Assassin.

There are generally two ways to master this skill: one is through training and long-term combat to gradually develop a sense of danger.

Another type is people who are born with a keen sixth sense, and coincidentally, some Demi-Human Species have a much greater advantage in this regard than humans.

The "Free Will" adventurer party actually includes a Demi-Human Species member?

Although the Verdant Leaf Witch before them was disguised with magical artifacts, it would be impossible for her to completely deceive some experts once she took action.

Tina was somewhat surprised.

It is extremely rare for an adventurer's party to contain Demi-Human. It is said that among the Empire's Adamantite Rank adventurers, the "Silver Thread Bird," there is a Demi-Human Species member.

This is because the empire is relatively open-minded, while Demi-Human Species have never been very popular within the Kingdom.

certainly.

This wasn't what surprised Tina the most, because according to the intelligence she had gathered, the leader of "Free Will" was a genius Alchemist who liked to use the blood of Demi-Human Species to make Alchemical Potion.

Such a person shouldn't have any good feelings towards Demi-Human Species.

The Verdant Leaf Witch continued to look coldly at Tina opposite her. She was not human, so naturally she didn't care about the rules and constraints of humans.

The only one who could make her obey orders was her master.

The human before her made the Verdant Leaf Witch feel threatened, which is why she attacked without hesitation.

"Miss Cuiye, the other party doesn't seem to have any hostility." Enri, seeing the two locked in a stalemate, nervously and cautiously spoke, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes.

The magic made too much noise.

This is the Royal Capital, so there should be many powerful figures and nobles here.

Enri felt that if things continued like this, the guards would arrest them, and at the same time, she was worried that it would cause trouble for Tang Zheng.

"Shut up."

The Verdant Leaf Witch spoke coldly without turning her head, the magical light in her hands flickering slightly, showing no intention of stopping.

No more magic was cast at this moment!

It was because the Verdant Leaf Witch sensed Tang Zheng's arrival and was awaiting her master's command.

However.

After a brief wait, the Verdant Leaf Witch realized that her master had not appeared and immediately understood that Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping her from continuing her attack.

Since that's the case--

"Corrosive Destruction!" The Verdant Leaf Witch sneered as she looked at Tina opposite her and waved her hands.

A mass of acidic liquid, emitting a strong corrosive odor, instantly condensed in mid-air like raindrops, scattering towards Tina.

Whoosh!

The corrosive liquid streaked through the air, spreading in mid-air and forming a magical attack that was difficult to dodge.

Tina saw that the Verdant Leaf Witch was still attacking, her already expressionless face turned completely cold.

"Arrogant guy."

"This isn't a place for you to run wild. Since that's the case, then I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your team leader."

Tina snorted coldly, and the ground beneath her feet trembled.

In an instant!

Tina transformed into a black afterimage, rushing out from her original spot. Facing the corrosive liquid that was being extinguished, her speed instantly doubled.

Just as the magical attack was about to land, she had already left her original position and was rushing towards the Verdant Leaf Witch at an extremely fast speed.

Keeping your distance from Magic Caster is not a good option. She had kept her distance before because she didn't want to fight, but since the other party insisted on fighting...

Tina, of course, wouldn't hold back either.

"You're unlucky to have met me!"

Tina placed her hand in front of her chest, striking a unique pose, intending to secure an overwhelming victory directly; once she got close to the Magic Caster, the opponent would lose.

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Concealment!"

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Tina vanished into thin air as a shadow, reappearing in the shadow behind the Verdant Leaf Witch.

A golden ponytail emerged first from the shadow, followed by the entire figure rising from it.

Tina swung the red, blood-stained dagger in her hand, aiming for the Verdant Leaf Witch's neck.

Wow, so fast!

The Verdant Leaf Witch showed a hint of surprise on her face. This annoying human woman opposite her was completely different from the powerful human she had encountered before.

What kind of magic is this?

"Magic Armor!"

With her exceptional ability to sense danger, the Verdant Leaf Witch swiftly activated her Magic Defense.

When!

A translucent magical glow shimmered around him, forming a set of magically condensed armor that withstood the dagger's attack, producing a crisp clanging sound.

now.

It's in a house about 100 meters away on this street.

Tang Zheng was leaning against the window, holding a soft piece of bread in his hand, calmly watching the two figures fighting on the street.

A large, chaotic crowd had gathered in the surrounding area.

The merchants and civilians who were originally on the street, after being frightened away from where the Verdant Leaf Witch and Tina were, stayed nearby and looked at the two figures.

Clearly, in any world, watching a spectacle is human nature.

Such a commotion naturally attracted many adventurers from the surrounding area, and even more locals gathered around.

For a time, this caused severe congestion in the area.

"The red headband must belong to Tina."

Tang Zheng stared at the location of the battle, his eyes flickering.

Tia and Tina look very similar; the quickest way to tell them apart is by the color of their headbands.

"An unexpected surprise! I was actually thinking about how to get the [Ninja] class, but it just popped into my doorstep."

A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face.

Buzz--

The Attribute Panel appeared before Tang Zheng's eyes.

"Discovered skill ' Ninjutsu: Shadow Concealment ', requires High-tier Class [Ninja]. Current requirements are not met. Requires 3 skill points."

"No prerequisite Mid-tier Class, conditions not met, requires 6 skill points."

"No Basic Class, conditions not met..."

"The 'Genius' class has been activated. You already possess the basic class ' Thief,' meeting the learning requirements!"

"Would you like to spend 6 skill points to learn this skill?"

Seeing the information refreshed on the panel, Tang Zheng's smile broadened.

Raise your head.

Watching the scene unfold where the Verdant Leaf Witch forces Tina back again.

"I wonder if Job Advancement this job will cause any stir. It seems I need to leave for a while." Tang Zheng placed the half-eaten white bread on the plate on the windowsill and murmured:

"Teleportation!"

Swish!

The air briefly distorted, and Tang Zheng's figure vanished instantly, reappearing in the Lava Zone.

The crimson glow of the magma came into view.

This area is deep within Lava Zone, so even if we make a sound, we don't need to worry about it being detected.

"Study!"

Tang Zheng stared at the Attribute Panel, his mind at ease.

Skill points: 71 → 65

With the mastery of the skill "Ninjutsu: Shadow Concealment", the class information on the Attribute Panel became blurred briefly, and then a High-tier Class appeared on the panel.

Buzz!

Tang Zheng's shadow twisted slightly, and a powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body, but it vanished in an instant, causing his own aura to weaken as well.

It's as if they've concealed their own aura!

Occupation: Ninja

Level: High-tier Class

Ability Effect:

passive·

"Additional System - Ninjutsu": Through continuous practice, you have finally mastered the unique techniques of the Ninja profession - Ninjutsu.

"Concealment Aura Specialization": Enhanced ability to hide one's presence and detect hidden enemies. All stealth skills and moves are strengthened, making them even harder to detect.

"Flexible Movement": Flexible limbs make your movements very agile, adding an extra 60 points of agility. You cannot wear heavy equipment, otherwise the increase in value will be ineffective and will reduce your agility.

(Note: Each level increases HP, MP, Physical Attack, and Agility by 15 points.)

Introduction: He is a shadow hunter, a silent man, a shadow assassin, an infiltrator, Assassin Master. So, tell me your enemies, your friends.

Tang Zheng quickly scanned the information about the [Ninja] class on the Attribute Panel, his eyes lighting up slightly.

Overall, the class strength doesn't seem particularly high. Compared to the [Cursed Knight], it's noticeably weaker, but stronger than most Advanced Tier classes like the [Magic Swordsman].

"Teleportation!"

Tang Zheng wasn't in a hurry to examine the [Ninja] class information in detail; he activated his magic again and quickly returned.

Swish!

Change in field of vision.

The surrounding environment returned to where it had been on the windowsill.

Tang Zheng reached out and picked up the remaining half of the white bread, continuing to eat it. He slightly raised his chin and looked at the two figures not far away on the street.

The battle between the Verdant Leaf Witch and Tina continued, after all, Tang Zheng's Teleportation back and forth, plus the time for job Job Advancement, only took about ten seconds.

"Tsk, she's really agile. Why doesn't she use more Ninjutsu skills? She can't defeat the Verdant Leaf Witch by just relying on close combat."

Tang Zheng looked at Tina's agile attack movements and began to comment on them.

Tang Zheng speculated that the difference in levels between the Verdant Leaf Witch and Tina was not significant, but as Demi-Human Species, the Verdant Leaf Witch possessed unique sensory abilities, making it difficult to completely subdue her.

Tina could the Unassailable her full strength.

Thankfully, this isn't a forest environment; otherwise, the Verdant Leaf Witch's strength could have increased even further.

The [Ninja] class has been acquired.

Tang Zheng had no intention of stopping the Verdant Leaf Witch, because he still wanted to acquire as many Ninjutsu System skills as possible through the battle between the two sides.

Buzz--

The Attribute Panel appeared before my eyes.

While watching the battle opposite him, Tang Zheng studied the information about the profession he had just acquired.

Four passive skills: "Extra System - Ninjutsu", "Concealment Aura Specialization", "Agile Movement", and "Shadow Affinity".

None of them are particularly powerful passive skills, but they are still worth paying attention to.

The latter two passive abilities are the most obvious: "Flexible Movement" increases agility by 60 points, but also comes with the class penalty of not being able to wear heavy equipment.

Compared to the professional penalties of the [Cursed Knight], it's nothing. Tang Zheng doesn't need to wear heavy equipment anyway; his main equipment right now is his Body Armament.

The information about "Shadow Affinity" is also very clear.

Only the "Extra System - Ninjutsu" and "Concealment Aura Specialization" caught his attention, as these two passive skills are also the core of the [Ninja] class.

"Conceal Presence... it seems it can shield one from some magical perception." Tang Zheng, somewhat rusty in controlling his own aura, realized this was a very useful technique.

He had previously worried that the fluctuations in his aura caused by his high level would be detected, so the appearance of this ability came at just the right time.

On the street.

The Verdant Leaf Witch's face was grim; her offensive magic was unable to hit the agile Tina, forcing her to resort to defense.

She hadn't forgotten that her master was still watching over the place.

"Dark!"

The Verdant Leaf Witch raised her hand and waved.

In an instant, all the light in the area was rapidly stripped away, as if a thick black fog had enveloped the area.

The Verdant Leaf Witch lifted her foot, preparing to leave the spot.

But the next moment!

A pale golden light flew out from the darkness and landed on the Verdant Leaf Witch, freezing her in place and rendering her unable to move.

"Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Body Freezing Technique!"

"This is... despicable!"

"Ninjutsu: Detection!"

Just before the surroundings were shrouded in darkness, Tina used the Unassailable spell to restrict the Verdant Leaf Witch's movements.

Immediately afterwards!

Activating his detection and sensing Ninjutsu to confirm there were no other means of attack in the darkness, and after reconfirming the location of the Verdant Leaf Witch, he charged forward.

In the darkness, Tina's speed increased.

Beside the window.

"He made a wrong move."

Tang Zheng couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the Verdant Leaf Witch unleash her "dark" magic.

After glancing at the skill information displayed on the Attribute Panel, he didn't hesitate and used skill points to learn it.

Skill Points: 65 → 68 → 66

In just a short time, he had mastered three Ninjutsu skills.

"Ninjutsu: Shadow Concealment": Move a short distance between shadows.

"Ninjutsu: The Unassailable Body Technique": Prevents the opponent from acting.

"Ninjutsu: Detection": Sensing hidden presences in the surroundings, and also sensing the strength of the opponent.

Tang Zheng smiled slightly. What truly interested him about the [Ninja] profession was the Ninjutsu skills.

In the game "YGGDRASIL", in addition to the normal Magic System, there are other systems, such as the Ninjutsu System, the Sage Arts System, the Forbidden Arts System, and the Onmyōdō System.

These different systems are all related to Class Construction, so they have unique effects that are different from magic.

In the Ninjutsu System, there is no distinction between magic ranks; some Ninjutsu increase in strength by the amount of magic power consumed.
