Chapter 149 Midterm Holiday
The classroom echoed with the students' enthusiastic conversations, and the air was filled with excited discussions.
"The exam is finally over."
"Yes...we finally made it through."
As the clock struck meeting time, Professor Eleanor White walked in, her bright blond hair contrasting sharply with the serious expression on her face.
"Quiet down, everyone," she called out, her voice cutting through the noise. The classroom gradually quieted down, and all eyes turned to the professor.
Eleanor paused, her gaze sweeping across the room, before saying, "With the first half of the semester coming to a close, I want to commend each and every one of you for your hard work. You have all made remarkable progress."
A sense of pride welled up in the students, and they exchanged smiles and nods.
“However,” Eleanor continued, her tone becoming more serious, “we are not finished yet. The challenges ahead will be even greater than the first half, and I expect you to give it your all.”
As she spoke, the atmosphere in the room became even more tense.
"We will have a week off before we move on to the next phase of training. Use this time to rest well and reflect on your experiences so far."
The students' anticipation for the holiday sparked a flurry of excited whispers.
"During this time, you are free to leave the college and enjoy your holiday, but remember, our journey is far from over. Be prepared to return with the same enthusiasm. Also, your midterm exam results will be released after the holiday, so please pay attention to the announcements."
After saying this, Eleanor White concluded her meeting. The students resumed their discussion, talking about their holiday plans and adventures for the next semester.
......
"Finally, the first part of the semester is over."
I muttered to myself as I walked towards my room. After the midterm exams, the academy will have a short break, during which the player will return to the Hartley family.
This part is very important for players, as it marks the first appearance of several important characters.
The Hartley family and Ethan's parents will appear as interactive characters for the first time in the game, laying the foundation for some future storylines.
Aside from that, there isn't much of a storyline or major events during this period. However, players can choose to complete some side quests. While these quests aren't mandatory, most players will use this time to explore the game world.
Therefore, this period is usually referred to as the "monster-farming period".
However, this doesn't mean much to me. I don't have any family to speak of.
"..."
Looking back now, I feel a surge of anger again. Since yesterday, I can feel a change in myself. Guilt has gradually been replaced by anger, and my emotions have begun to shift.
"This is strange."
But this was expected.
"I am a human being too."
On the path I walk, I am destined to change. That's human nature.
"I think they should have found the bodies by now."
Normally, I would thoroughly clean up that building. But those three people used some magical artifacts to cover up any movement from the building, so no sound came out.
Therefore, no one will know what happened there, but I hope someone will find the traces of the battle. After all, I made it look like they were killing each other, so no one will suspect me.
Excuse me.
As I was walking, I heard someone talking ahead. I looked up and saw a man carrying a bunch of bags coming out of the building.
“Here.” I nodded and made way for him, only then realizing that I had been daydreaming.
"Thank you," he replied.
After he left, I went back to my room.
Click! Squeak!
I opened the door and glanced around the room; things might change here after the holiday.
Based on my performance in the midterm exams, my ranking won't be too high, but it won't be too low either.
"It's probably between 1700 and 2000."
This should improve the quality of my room. Although I've gotten used to it, the room is small and the study conditions aren't ideal. I spend most of my time studying in the library.
Aside from using it to sleep, I hardly do anything else here.
Sitting at my desk, I began browsing and making plans for the upcoming holiday.
"arms."
This is the focus of the upcoming holiday. I'm missing a suitable weapon.
The bows and daggers provided by the academy were decent, but the last battle against the demon contractor proved that these ordinary weapons were incapable of achieving my goals.
The one named Annie possesses the Corruption attribute, which is extremely rare among Demon Contractors, but she is still at the bottom.
If I am to confront the demons and their powerful future minions, I need a more powerful weapon.
But the question is: "What kind of weapon should I choose?"
From the beginning, I never focused on using a single weapon. Instead, my style was more diverse, ranging from ranged combat to melee, and I was very adaptable.
While this flexibility is great, it also limits me; I know that none of the artifacts in the game are suitable for my level of flexibility.
Ultimately, I only have one choice.
I thought of a particular character and shook my head. No one but him could forge a weapon powerful enough and suitable for me.
"However, finding him won't be easy; I need to gather some information first."
I turned on my watch and started sending messages to the hacker group.
Find me a map showing the distribution of magical wavelengths in the area below the Rihua Mountains.
