Austin and Valerie went their separate ways, deciding to rest for tonight and et tomorrow for classes.
There was only the horoom tomorrow before the students would be allowed to return to their dorms.
Tomorrow, there will be visits of the juniors with their parents who might be enrolling here. Following that, there would be a ceremony to congratulate those who have perford well throughout the year.
These rewards actually help one to get better jobs once they graduate since the rit points are reflected in their final results.
Suddenly, Austin had a thought—if he had a normal life, what might he have done after graduation?
'With my skills and interest in hunting, being an adventurer or Council Officer might have been the best job.' Council might be a dangerous place for many considering it is the first pillar of defense for humanity, but a warrior's might is wasted if they continue to hesitate from entering the battlefield.
However, there was no point in thinking about it, considering Austin knows his future.
'Eight months...canonically, it would happen in eight months.' Around that ti, all the generals would beco active, attack the human realm, and prepare for the arrival of their liege.
'Before that, I need to restore my mories anyhow.' The fact is, Rhea never fought with the Demon Lord. Austin died before reaching the conclusion. So, until now, he was completely unaware of Astaroth's strengths and weaknesses(if there are any).
His last visit to the other realm told Austin that Astaroth was still too weak. However, Selner told him not to try to damage him at that mont...for so reason which she kept to herself.
'She is a woman with mysteries.' Heaving a sigh, he slid into the bathing pool.
The warm water engulfed his body, bringing out a sigh of relief.
Due to continuous travel, his body was extrely fatigued. Not to talk about, his visit to the dungeon yesterday.
Now, he was left with only the main boss of the Third Dungeon.
'Hey, system, according to you, how many dungeons would it take to reach A-rank?'
[Ding!]
[By the completion of the fifth dungeon, you will break through your current rank and reach the A-rank.]
Austin heaved a sigh, 'So two more challenges, huh?'
It was quite a tedious journey, to be honest. How many months has it been? Around four months ago, he started his journey from D-rank and now has reached nearly the A-rank.
He has fought several opponents higher in rank. Killed his bastard brother. He has slaughtered two S-ranks. He has made so friends. He made out with Valerie twenty-seven tis. Went on thirty-six dates. Patching things up with Averis.
So many things happened.
'Haah....feels nostalgic.' After a brief pause, he asked the system, 'What exactly happened to you last ti?'
[The system is still trying to find the source of the disturbance. For safety purposes, the latest reward has been sealed until the system doesn't ensure complete protection against another invasion.]
Austin frowned...what in the world could be attacking the system?
He has no knowledge of where the system cos from or whether there was a person working behind the screen to help him.
Out of curiosity, Austin asked, 'Tell sothing, were you with my previous version too? The one who had all the Soul fragnts?'
[Yes, host. I was with you then as well. However, you never utilized since you deed useless...]
...Austin might be imagining things but he felt sorrow in those words.
Well, considering how strong he actually was, naturally, the challenges the System had in store must have bored him.
Austin warmly smiled as he said, "But you helped a lot this ti so thank you for that, system. Even after I gain my other fragnts, I promise to always keep asking for your help."
[Thank you host ๑>ᴗ
