Chapter 201 Difficult Training, Deadline
Chapter 201 Difficult Training, Deadline
'This is unreal.'
'This cannot be real.'
Almond lay on the floor, his senses retracting as he finished the 10th round of individually scanning and focusing on each medium of knowledge present in this hall.
There were 1000 of them!
But he couldn't invoke the so-called intent from any one of them.
'Why is this so hard? Or maybe I completed the training already? I can just leave, right?'
[You have yet to meet the minimum requirement to acquire this skill. Would you still like to leave?]
'Goddamn it!'
*Smash!*
Almond smashed both of his fists and jumped up.
'I can do it! There's nothing I cannot do!'
Time passed, and Almond continued to try.
Only one hour remained until 7 of the evening. At 7, he has to be present at the Zhou clan's territory to enter the S-rank dungeon.
'Fuck this skill,' Almond sat down and crossed his arms. 'I have to leave.'
[You have yet to meet the minimum requirement to acquire this skill. Would you still like to leave?]
"..." Looking at the question in front of him, Almond's fingers dug into his mind avatar's arms, great frustration filling him up.
'Hey, Grimworld Tutorial! What's wrong with this training?! Why can't I learn it?'
A gentle breeze blew by in the serene silence. No response.
'Fuck you. I want to learn this! Why is this skill so hard?'
[The default lowest rank of this skill is Legendary. You have yet to meet the requirement to make this passive skill yours.]
Almond was surprised to get an answer, but a second later, his expression turned blank, 'that's it?'
'Tell me more!'
Almond felt like going insane. He wanted to learn this skill!
He didn't want to believe he couldn't learn this!
He believed that he would learn anything if he put his whole mind and focus to it!
Her outfit looked strikingly similar to her grandma's, wearing the same skin-tight assassin-ish outfits with a cloak that would occasionally flutter in the wind and reveal their package of smoking-hot figures with loaded assets at the front and back.
"Rudra, ten minutes remain until the deadline. Almond isn't here yet," Bianca glanced at Rudra.
"He will come. Wait."
"I'm bored," Valentina said with a dazed expression as she sat on a rock, her eyes on the sky. But she suddenly shut her eyes and prayed. "That's a third shooting star. I wish he would come soon."
'What do you think, sister? I'm certain she is an artificial human based on a cartoon character.'
'She has been staring at the sky since she arrived, and her expressions...yeah, I'm now convinced.'
'She is the same age as your daughter, you rascals. And if you want to bull shit out of boredom, don't include me in your conversation,' Liang Zhou snorted, sending a mind shock to his son and daughter.
"What's going on, Rudra? Just tell us so we can know," Liang said.
'This brat...I also sent my fastest ride there. When are you arriving?!' Rudra glanced at his wristwatch.
[Rudra: is he still in training?]
[Alfred:...He is.]
[Rudra: Can you nudge him?]
[Alfred: I will not. I apologize.]
Rudra's right eye twitched.
Rudra's chat was connected to Alfred online for the past half an hour. Every time he asked Alfred to nudge Almond, he got the same reply.
"Alright, I'll tell you why he is late," Rudra suddenly said as sighed. "You all know about the Advanced Skill Scroll by now. He is in one, training to learn the skill."
"Anya used one," Damian said with a nod. "She finished learning a skill after 19 hours. It was an SS-rank skill."
Anya was the super rookie of his guild and also his direct student, so he was aware of her progress as he was nurturing her.
"And this training is generally finished in 24 hours according to information from others I got," Bianca said as she narrowed her eyes. "I'm sure Almond also knew about it."
"It's been well over 24 hours since he started training," Rudra calmly replied.
"But he knows about the deadline and is not leaving the training realm of that scroll even though he can," Bianca said, making Rudra speechless.
'You darn Morettis...'
"As always, you are up to date on information," Rudra snorted, his tone turning rough. "That's right. He can leave. He knows the time, but he isn't leaving."
"He thinks we will wait for him," Sun Zhou said with a loud laugh. "I like his attitude."
"Well, will we wait?" Guolan Zhou smiled.
