Classes followed, including Riva's, who glanced at Maxi without saying anything about what had happened 3 days before.
Finally, the day ca to an end and all the students went ho.
Maxi found himself alone on the way ho, as Samuel had already left a while ago to begin a special training session prepared by his parents.
"Today is Friday May 30, so since Eternity resets every first of the month, I'll have to go back on Sunday," Maxi thought quietly with so excitent.
Having shown so interest in Lisa, Maxi was eager to improve his skills in Eternity.
Of course, he already had a significant desire to improve, but this was taken to a new level with this new objective.
Of course, he was only mildly interested in Lisa - after all, he didn't know her.
But the knowledge that this woman seed completely unattainable if he didn't work hard enough gave him an irresistible urge to take up the challenge.
The real challenge being not to capture Lisa's heart but to raise her status to his using only the sweat of his brow.
"I can't wait to get back to Eternity already!"
Maxi returned ho without a hitch, had a quick chat with his brother and mother, then revised for the academic part of the competition.
The evening passed quickly, and the following day he trained all day to perfect his sword skills.
He also summoned Andrew and the other main rcenaries in his group, including Ernest, to improve their sword skills too.
Indeed, it's an advantage every player enjoys. While ti was on pause in the world of Eternity, players could take advantage of every break to train and co back stronger.
This was also the case 3 days before, since the life and death experience of each rcenary had significantly increased. The return to Eternity and future battles will be more likely to be won with fewer losses thanks to this recent experience.
By evening, everyone had improved their swordsmanship by a few points, but it was Maxi who had made the greatest progress.
Indeed, after the recent battles he'd experienced, Maxi had finally broken through the bottleneck between interdiate and advanced rank 2 Sword Mastery.
He had thus officially entered advanced rank 2 mastery.
It was already a level that few 2-star rcenaries could achieve even with a lifeti of fighting.
"System displays my current status"

"Romuald's minor talent in physics is as impressive as ever," Maxi comnted quietly with so curiosity.
Normally, rcenaries with two-star potential could reach a maximum of 2 points in physics, but Romuald far exceeded this limit and showed little sign of slowing down.
"At this rate, could he reach 3 points? That would be incredible."
High school courses didn't teach any more than that about the talents rcenaries could possess; it was more like a university course. So Maxi didn't know the details of the effects of the different talents or their usefulness.
"By the way, I'm lucky the bar isn't calling , but should I quit? After all, I've already bought the watch and now I need ti to prepare for the competitions" Maxi asked himself hesitantly.
He was very hesitant because the bar's owner had hired him where all the other companies had turned him down because of his youth and lack of experience.
Taking a step back, Maxi found that the environnt at the bar was really nice and the work wasn't really hard.
"In any case, I should resign with the competition coming up."
"I think I should just let the boss know, and stay there for a few more weeks, while the boss finds a replacent," Maxi concluded after careful consideration.
He didn't want to leave like a thief after getting the boss's generosity.
"I'll call him on Monday and check in with him.
Maxi continued to train with his rcenaries in spite of everything, and the day passed quickly.
Sunday morning ca quickly.
Ding!
[Military pay received!]
[6 gold coins have been sent to your system pay!]
Simultaneously another notification arrived, and this one more than made Maxi smile as he lay in bed.
[An opportunity to go to Eternity has been unlocked!]
[It has been detected that you possess the authorization to go into Eternity once!]
[Do you want to use it now?]
"Yes!"
In response to his answer, his body entered a vegetative state as his mind was projected into Eternity at high speed.
Soon he opened his eyes and found himself with various familiar faces around him.
Maxi smiled slightly, then exclaid:
"How do we find each other, guys!"
The saber-toothed tiger rcenaries seed surprised by his return. They rembered everything that had happened in the real world.
"Welco back to our world, Chief!" exclaid so of the rcenaries, laughing.
After the laughter, so of the rcenaries began to worry about the future.
Ernest, who was standing next to Maxi, reflected slightly, then asked:
"Chief, you said we hadn't realized our true purpose just before we left for your world, but what exactly is our true purpose?"
This drew stares and stopped the rcenary group talking.
As about thirty pairs of eyes landed on him, Maxi smiled, then looked at everyone around him.
"The main objective of our mission on the way out was indeed to eliminate the bandit group that attacked Quessoi. But bandit groups usually have a base where they can gather and store their stolen goods.
"These bases also serve as their resting places, since they can't sleep peacefully in most cities."
"And they usually have a few hiding places where many gold coins can be found."
"The bandits who ambushed us did belong to the group that destroyed Quessoi and killed the family and friends of so mbers of the saber-toothed tigers."
On hearing this, the mbers in question wore various reactions.
Andrew crossed his arms, but a real demonic fire could be imagined in the gleam of his eyes.
Terry, Jas and Peter had similar but less controlled reactions as they clenched their fists in anger but also sadness in retrospect.
Jas, in particular, seed close to tears.
Piedro and Izo didn't react in any particular way; no one could guess their thoughts.
Ernest, Rodrigo, Romuald, Riva, Ronny, Joe, Alessandro and other rcenaries seed particularly serious as they listened to their leader.
Maxi ignored their reaction and continued his speech:
"Although we've eliminated them, these bandits are bound to have other companions still alive and at large!"
This ca as a shock to many rcenaries, especially those from outside Quessoi.
A group of 50 organized bandits with a particularly strong leader and even 3 elite soldiers was already very strong.
"There are several reasons for this, but the most important is that I haven't seen the bandits who demanded ransom last ti in Quessoi."
"So to co to your question Ernest, our main objective is to find their base, eradicate the remaining bandits and take for our rcenary group all their gold and possessions!"
"And then we'll return triumphant before Baron Barthon, go to our base and party for 3 days!"
Ernest was the first to react and shouted:
"In any case Baron Barthon will be able to do absolutely nothing to us, otherwise the rcenaries of this world will turn against him haha!"
Most of the rcenaries beca completely revitalized after hearing Maxi and Ernest's words.
"Hahaha our leader knows how to talk to us!"
"Yoo-hoo, can't wait to take these bastards out and get back to the party!"
"After fighting those damned Pirans it'll be a piece of cake to take care of so bandits!"
...
The small crowd was very excited after Maxi's announcent.
rcenaries were people who walked on a thin rope every day that they could fall on at any mont, so they were enjoying life to the full!
In the crowd, an ordinary rcenary from the saber-toothed group shouted in excitent to a comrade who was already close to him before the saber-toothed tigers.
"I wonder how much gold we'll be able to make!?"
"I hope a lot! At least enough to replace my old sword and light armor, which dates back to my grandfather!" replied his friend with equal enthusiasm.
Hearing their discussion, Andrew, who was nearby, was amused.
"Haha guys be ambitious, these thieves love to have lots of gold coins, and on top of that these thieves are backed by the baron and therefore go completely mad and unscrupulous!" he laughed, temporarily forgetting his rage.
"Haha that's true, they owe a lot more money than you'd think!" said the first rcenary.
The second also laughed and asked Andrew:
"What would you like to have then if not a good sword or armor?"
