Chapter 197 - New Target

After a few training days, Moss adapted to his preparation plan requirements. With some time to himself, Moss paid close attention to news of the Magical Beasts’ strange movements.

“According to our reporter, a spatial crack appeared in N City’s prairie. Magical Beasts emerged from it and slaughtered many cattle and sheep. Fortunately, first-responders swiftly took action, and there were no human casualties.”

“According to reports from the front lines, Magical Beasts’ appearances have significantly increased. There were also several sightings of never-before-seen species of beasts fleeing the scene.”

“Reporters found another sighting of a Double-Headed Explosive Wolf at a junction between White Deer City and Sea Dragon City. Experts are now studying the reason for these beasts’ appearances.

…

After reading the news over the past two days, Moss reorganized them with previous and related news he had heard.

‘It seems that the threat of Magical Beasts is growing,’ Moss thought as he frowned.

‘Considering the frequency and range of Magical Beasts’ appearances, it won’t be a wave that will end soon. It will continue for a while. Since the threat of beasts is gradually increasing, the world is becoming a more dangerous place by the minute,’ with that thought, Moss’s sense of urgency increased.

‘It seems I must still improve my plans,’ Moss decided inwardly.

Judging from his training over the past few days, it was not an easy task to get into the top three institutes. According to Aisha, many students in the country could efficiently complete their current preparation plans.

One thousand eight hundred students were preparing to take the exams and would have no issues applying for the top 100 institutes. However, these students needed to work harder to attend the top 50 institutes.

If one attended the top three institutes, they would be the top 300 students in the country because only about 100 could attend the top three institutes.

Although Moss’s strength among the students in S Country was outstanding, he could still make it to the top ten institutes, even if he competed against 200 of the country’s finest.

Even though Moss had not witnessed these elites’ strength, he was still a record-breaking best graduate. Moreover, Moss was a level 25 knight when he left the elite training program, and the elites would not be much better than him, even if they improved during their preparations over the past few months.

Despite that, S Country’s education level was below the middle level, so there was still a gap between them and some regions with more advanced education methods.

Considering the top three institutes’ data in previous years, if one could rank tenth in S Country, it would mean they made it to the top 400 worldwide.

With that thought, Moss changed his plans. He would reach level 30 before the college entrance exams, unlock all his hidden requirements in the Ultimate Evolution System, and become a Holy Light Knight.

Moss’s second step in his plans was to be one of the top 100 students in the country during the simulation test one month before the entrance exams. If he could complete this first step, his strength would increase further.

Although the Holy Light Knight was a powerful existence, Moss was about to face the country’s elites. His chances of entering the top 3 institutes would be high if he could evolve again.

However, some high schools did not allow elite students to participate in the simulation test, which followed a reference value.

After thinking through this, Moss felt enlightened, allowing him to face the future with calmness and clarity.

Ring, ring!

Moss was about to leave for training when his phone rang. He answered the call when he saw it was Kyoto Institute that was calling.

“Hello, is this Moss? This is Weston, the president of the National Professional Alliance.” A kind voice sounded on the other end of the call.

“Hello, President Weston, it’s an honor.”

“Moss, I called Elroy. He told me you’re taking the college entrance exams and that you’ve rejected special enrollment from seven top ten institutes. You really are something.”

Weston was thrilled when he discovered Moss had rejected his special enrollment offers. He praised Moss for his courage and fighting spirit.

One should always have courage and a fighting spirit, especially knights. Only then could they protect their loved ones and humankind. With that thought, Weston immediately asked Elroy for Moss’s phone number.

“Yes, President Weston. I only want to see if I have the capabilities to get into the top three institutes.”

“You can do it, kid! Your courage is commendable!” A hearty laugh came from the other end of the call.

“Moss, the National Professional Alliance will host an exchange conference in a few days. Many famous big shots in the professional world will attend. I think you will gain something if you come. I also have some training resources, so try them if you’re interested.”

“Thank you very much, President Weston. I will be there!” Moss’s heart rippled with joy when he heard Weston’s words.

Meeting big shots from the professional scene and listening to their views and opinions would greatly help Moss’s thoughts. As for the resources Weston mentioned, they would be significant because he was the president of the National Professional Alliance.

“Okay, I’ll get someone to give you more details soon. You should continue with your preparations for the time being.”

…

Weston laughed heartily after hanging up the phone. “This kid is determined. I like him a lot!”

After speaking with Elroy, he learned about Moss’s various performances since the professional competition. His impression of Moss had significantly increased after discovering Moss had claimed the Best Graduate award during the elite training program. How could he not like such a young man who constantly made progress?

Meanwhile, Moss felt more motivated after the call with Weston. He walked straight to the training field smilingly. When he arrived, Na’er called him to Elroy’s office.

Moss noticed the office door was open, so he knocked twice and entered. Elroy immediately put down the documents in his hands and sat with Moss. He passed some water to Moss and said kindly, “Have your preparations been going smoothly so far? Aisha told me you’d improved quite a bit recently.”

Thank you for your concern, Director Elroy. I’m doing pretty well since I’m training and studying every day. It’s quite fulfilling.”

Elroy nodded in satisfaction and looked at Moss with concern. “You’ve used most of White Deer High’s training resources, right?”

Moss nodded and looked at Elroy smilingly.

Elroy put away his smile slightly and said in a suitable tone, “One can always learn from the past and the future. Repeating the same training will familiarize you with various Magical Beasts, bosses, and modules. More importantly, you can find the best solutions and most efficient ways of despatching beasts.

“When familiar with these things, you must consider sorting out the details. Do the training you need perfectly and combine it with your previous knowledge to draw inferences from it.

“There are many questions in the entrance exams, and the degree of difficulty also differs. However, you cannot fight all Magical Beasts at once, and you cannot conquer all Mystic Realms. Only by knowing this will you face the entrance exams calmly.”

Elroy’s words seemed to open a window in Moss’s heart.

“Thank you, Director Elroy,” Moss said sincerely.

“Hahaha, you’re welcome, boy. Weston called me just now to ask about you. He even told me to support you with everything I have. Although I am ashamed that there are only so many resources at White Deer High, I promise you can use all the equipment and potions we have.”

Afterward, Elroy smiled and changed the topic, “You can always look for Weston if you need more. He has many resources.”

Elroy’s words touched Moss.

Moss knew how to be grateful, even though he might not say it aloud. Still, he would remember everyone’s kindness toward him.
