Chapter 26 Ch 26 : School Dungeon
' Bahahahaha, finally you had think about this! I thought that once you got to the university, you had forgotten all your goals and decided to slack around.'
Grigory's voice came from the pendant and made Cade blush.
Indeed, the past few days, he always had the chance to ask Grigory about this, and he didn't. But it was not because Cade had forgotten about his goal.
Rather, it was because he had decided to study. After the first few classes, Cade got to realize that his knowledge was far from sufficient from attending this university, and he couldn't rely on Grigory for each theoretical test, right?
' Well, it is not like I could blame you. After all, there are not many means for you to upgrade your Arcane Card.'
It was known that the strength of a person was directly related to the Arcane Card, so the advancement of the Arcane Card usually would be the focus of every student here.
Yet, Cade was different. His way of enhancing Arcane Card was not via absorbing the mana on the air or accumulating experiences by fighting monsters in the Dungeon, but rather by using the guillotines in the special room of Grigory.
' So.. there is really no way for me to enhance my strength?' Cade frowned.
At this Orion university, it could be said that his starting point was already low enough. If it was added to his inability to quickly strengthen himself, then he would be far left behind by his peers.
After all, there was a room here in the university which it had three or four times more mana density than normal and helped the students to absorb mana.
' Hyahahahaha, who said that you couldn't? I just said that it is a bit difficult. However, it seems that the chance has come for you soon?'
' ????'
' Have you forgotten? Tomorrow would be the time for you to go into the School Dungeon. And if nothing goes wrong, you might get something special there.'
That's it!!
Maybe because he was way too focused on his study the past few days, Cade had forgotten that tomorrow would be the School dungeon incident.
During the whole school period, there would be more than one Dungeon exploration.
The first one would be this school dungeon, and there should be no problem in this Dungeon. But Cade, as a transmigrator who had played this game to its end, definitely knew that there was something more in this School Dungeon.
Listening to Grigory's words, lots of ideas came into Cade's mind as he quickly prepared for the events that would come tomorrow.
. . . . . . . .
In the Ultima federation, even the wealthiest and strongest family could be traced back to the Dungeons.
Most of the families here rise after the Third Spatial rupture and start to make their name after they successfully conquer a few smalls Dungeon.
For that reason, the act of exploring Dungeons had been pretty popular, and lots of wealthy family children tried to make a name from exploring a few Dungeons.
There's no difference between men and women; for each and every wealthy family child, it has almost been a custom to finish their first Dungeon exploration in university.
Of course, there was also a lot more from it.
In today's era, most of the materials were taken directly from the Dungeon or Monsters, and that was also the reason why exploring Dungeon might get them a plenty amount of money.
In the game itself, Cade could say that exploring the Dungeon was one of the best parts of the game.
Taking multiple routes, researching, or even looking for walkthroughs from the internet. It was one that made the game feel alive.
Today, after a long periods of study in the classroom, the students of Orion University finally came into their first Dungeon Exploration.
' *Sigh* it really looked the same as in the game.'
As usual, our protagonist Cade was currently standing alone.
During the past few weeks of study, he had slowly gotten the title of a loner, and no person would come to him to make friends.
It worked to Cade's advantage, though. In his current situation, friends were a luxury, and he didn't want his goal to be obstructed by his so-called friends.historical
For today, Cade basically wore leather armor on top of thick clothing. Iron armor covered portions like the arms, chest, and lower legs.
It's equipment that would make one wonder what exactly is fantasy-like, or rather, stylish about it.
Yet, most of the students here also wore the same kind of armor. They knew that even though this Dungeon had been conquered before and was under Orion's university management, Dungeon was still full of danger.
There was no classy-looking equipment, and the like all focused on appearances, except for one.
" Hey, what are you hoping to do with that kind of equipment? Do you think we are going to a party?"
There was a commotion from the sides, and in the very middle of that commotion was none other than the protagonist Aurum.
Now that Cade looked back at it, this event was pretty much familiar.
At the very beginning of the playthrough of the game, the protagonist, who doesn't know, that he was scammed, decides to buy all kinds of good-looking armor.
But of course, even though they were good-looking and very much suited the looks of the protagonists, it had a pretty trashy effect, and it was also the reason why he was a hot topic among the other students.
However, Cade's focus was not entirely on the protagonist.
The protagonist Aurum might be in a bit of trouble, but with the help of the capture targets on his side, there should be nothing that he should be worried about.
Rather, Cade was more troubled with the one that was looking at him intently.
' Elicia Holzberg, what does she wants with me..'
