EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C48: A Successful Speech, Cold-blooded Aiden
Chapter 48: Chapter 48: A Successful Speech, Cold-blooded Aiden
As Aiden finished speaking, the survivors below suddenly widened their eyes. They started talking to each other, shocked.
"Is that Iron Dragon he killed? Is it true?"
"It's definitely true. Did you see the video? The person in the video looks exactly like him!"
"Wait, are you guys ignoring what he said next? Iron Dragon was just a regional red-flagged boss. He also killed a national-class red-flagged boss from the Abyss!"
"A national-class red-flagged boss! Aiden's strength is actually that strong!"
"Wait, look over there! That's the princess, right? I've seen her on TV!"
"It's really the princess! The princess is with us!"
Aiden didn't stop them. In this situation, letting people talk was actually a good thing.
He waited a little while, then continued: "Many of you probably know me."
"On Awakening Day, I awakened my job as Magic Apprentice."
"But now, I've not only killed two red-flagged bosses, but I've also reached 20 level!"
"Why? Because I never thought about giving up!"
"Even if the demons and monsters from the Abyss are coming in less than an hour, and they'll hunt us like prey, I still won't feel hopeless."
...
Aiden's voice grew louder and louder. The hope in the survivors' eyes also became stronger.
They were silent. Their despair slowly disappeared, and in its place, a sense of anger and a strong desire to live began to grow.
Aiden knew it was time. He needed to light the fire in their hearts, to guide them toward the desire to fight.
"When I first entered The White City, I saw a lot of dead bodies — some were Reclasers, some were regular people, even a lot of children!"
"A little girl was holding a lollipop, lying on the cold floor, her innocent face full of pain."
"The damned Evil Demons Guild, the cursed demons and monsters from the Abyss—they took away our family, our friends, and now they want to kill all of us!"
"Look at the people around you. Think about your parents, your children. Would you hand them over to those monsters?"
"Would you? Tell me!"
Either we die in silence, or we explode in anger.
All the survivors gathered there clenched their fists tightly and shouted back angrily:
"No! Never!"
Aiden shouted loudly."Then what are we going to do?"
Vespera, who had been secretly placed in the crowd earlier, took a deep breath and was the first to answer: "Fight! Resist! Kill all the enemies!"
Following her lead, all the survivors began to repeat the slogan.
"Fight! Resist! Kill all the enemies!"
"Fight! Resist! Kill all the enemies!"
...
Aiden raised one finger, pointing at the space rift in the sky and the demons and monsters inside. He shouted angrily.
"Even if I die here today, I will make these damned demons and monsters fear and regret what they've done, for my family, my friends, and anyone I care about!"
"This war isn't just for me. It's for the future. For the future of all humans!"
In less than five minutes, Aiden had gone from calming people down, to raising their emotions, and finally boosting their spirits to the highest.
"All right, everyone. As the commander of The White City, I order you—support jobs, stand on the left. Fighters, step forward. Ranged attackers..."
After the survivors stood in their positions according to their jobs, Aiden slowly flew into the middle of them.
"The White City Reclasser Association Chairman Lucien, where are you?"
"Warrior God Guild Chairman Leo, where are you?"
"The White City Mayor Randy, where are you?"
Lucien, Leo, and Randy stepped forward, bowed to Aiden, and said together:
"Salute, General!"
Aiden gave a slight nod. He had already noticed Lucien and the others during his speech, and nothing bad had happened.
That was a good sign.
Now there were tens of thousands of survivors gathered here. It wasn't easy to fully control them.
He needed people like Randy, Lucien, and Leo—people who could act as his "arms." helping him control every survivor.
Aiden put down the metal microphone. His face was serious, looking like a cold and determined general.
He said to Lucien and the others: "You should know this is a big crisis, but also a rare chance."
Mayor Randy, Guild Chairman Leo, and Reclasser Association Chairman Lucien all nodded silently.
They weren't stupid. They knew exactly what he meant.
The princess of the empire was also here. Everything they did would be seen by the imperial upper class, maybe even by the empress herself.
"Spread your people out and go into the survivors. Not only should you lead them, but you should also collect all the resources as quickly as possible—medicines, items, everything."
Aiden looked at them coldly and added:
"You are no different."
Lucien didn't hesitate at all. Leo and Mayor Randy, however, hesitated for a moment.
Mayor Randy asked: "What if someone doesn't agree? The imperial law says private property is protected..."
He didn't finish his sentence. Aiden coldly interrupted:
"Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed on the spot!"
"At a time like this, selfishness will not only kill themselves, but also completely take away our hope."
"Also, spread the word—kill one enemy, get 500,000. Kill ten or more, get 10 million!"
"The more you kill, the more you get. No limit!"
After Aiden finished speaking, Lucien and the other two took a sharp breath.
Decisive and ruthless!
If they didn't know Aiden had just awakened, they would have thought he was a seasoned general.
"Understood!" Randy and the others turned and left.
Aiden slowly let out a breath. He took some unused equipment from his storage space and threw it down below Kelsey.
If he could, he didn't want to give such an order.
But he understood the old saying—too much kindness makes a bad commander, and too much mercy makes a bad leader.
"You guys, this is my magic recovery potion! This is my personal property!" A fat woman suddenly shouted.
"I'm telling you, my son is an officer in the Sovereign City army. If you do this to me, you're all in big trouble!"
Some members of the White City Reclasser Association looked uncertain. They instinctively looked back at Lucien.
An officer from Sovereign City was not someone they could afford to anger.
Lucien hurried over to try to explain a little, but before he could take a step, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Aiden, with a cold face, walked up to the fat woman and said."This is a military order!"
"What about it? I'm not giving it up, and you have to protect me. Otherwise, if something happens, my son is..." The woman shouted loudly.
Many survivors turned their heads toward them and started talking among themselves.
Aiden's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. He reached out toward a Reclasser beside him.
"Knife."
The Reclasser was surprised for a moment, but he didn't dare disobey Aiden's order. He handed over the knife.
"What are you doing? My son is...!"
Puf!
A flash of white light.
The long knife cut through the air, and the woman's head, full of shock, flew into the air and landed on the ground, rolling.
Blood sprayed out, staining Aiden's clothes. A few drops of blood also landed on his face.
Aiden showed no expression. In front of the other survivors, he said:
"Anyone who breaks the military order will be beheaded!"
The bloodstained long knife slowly pointed down to where Kelsey was.
"That's my stuff. I took it out too."
The surrounding survivors looked over and immediately widened their eyes in shock. "That's a Gold Rank staff!"
"A Gold Rank? I could never afford that in my whole life!"
"General Aiden sets an example. What else can we say? Besides, killing one enemy gives you 500,000!"
"Quickly hand it over. We don't have much time."
Aiden looked at Lucien.
Lucien immediately shivered and quickly said."General, I was wrong."
Aiden said coldly."Don't let me down again."
As the chairman of the White City Reclasser Association, Lucien didn't hesitate. He nodded wildly.
Only after Aiden turned away did he finally relax.
Lucien looked full of regret. He slapped himself and muttered to himself."Fool! I couldn't even do this right!"
"Someone like Aiden, even if he doesn't go to university and joins the army, he'll definitely make a big name for himself in the future. We must keep a good relationship with him!"
Aiden quickly walked over to where Kelsey was.
Vivi, Vespera, and John were also there, taking out all kinds of supplies.
People with even a little sense knew what was about to happen. At this moment, being selfish was like committing suicide.
...
In the palace of The Sovereign City.
Empress Eira held an old, ornate staff. Her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were filled with strong anger, as well as a hint of worry and urgency as she looked at the ministers around her.
"Idiots! The Abyss has already invaded, and you're still saying it might be an accident!"
"False peace has made you all weak and cowardly!"
"Order the troops. I'm going to The White City myself!"
Several imperial ministers turned their heads and looked at an old man with white hair—the First Minister, Felix.
Felix spoke in a calm voice: "Your Majesty, perhaps we should first use the Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities to see what's happening in The White City right now."
The Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities was an Epic-grade special item, a national treasure. It could show a scene from thousands of miles away, including The White City.
Eira took a deep breath and tapped the ground lightly with her staff. A silver mirror, ten meters in diameter, appeared instantly.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C49: Felix's Attitude and Aiden's Importance
Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Felix's Attitude and Aiden's Importance
The surface of the huge silver mirror slowly rippled, and soon the scene of The White City appeared quickly.
In the picture, Aiden was speaking to Randy and others: "Anyone who breaks the military order will be killed on the spot!"
This sentence made the ministers around them suddenly shocked. One of them immediately spoke up:
"Military order? Killing? Which young officer from the military is this?"
Felix turned to look at a man around thirty years old, and said coldly:
"James, did the military send someone to The White City for a secret mission? I haven't heard anything about it."
James frowned. There was no young officer from the military who had gone to The White City.
At that moment, the picture flickered slightly, and then turned black.
Eira quickly waved her staff, trying to restore the image.
Because The White City was slowly falling into the Abyss, the space around it was very unstable. It not only pushed away strong people, but also affected the Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities.
Luckily, after a while, the image of The White City reappeared on the mirror.
The young man in the picture was still expressionless. He raised his long sword and cut off a woman's head.
This bloody scene made the ministers present pale.
Felix didn't hesitate and said: "Good! At a time like this, your military people are killing innocent people!"
"James, this is the kind of soldiers you're in charge of?"
Felix seized the chance. His conservative faction had always been at odds with the military.
The military leadership in the empire advocated a strong response to the demons in the Abyss.
But he wanted the empire to maintain a stable relationship with the Abyss demons, even to consider cooperation.
James turned to look at Empress Eira and explained: "Your Majesty, the young man in the picture is not from the military."
"Look, the golden words on his head! He must be a temporary general appointed by the princess!"
James pointed at Aiden.
Only members of the royal family could appoint a temporary general in such a situation.
"Everyone, be quiet and keep watching!" Empress Eira was very nervous.
At this moment, Kelsey appointed someone as a temporary general—something must have happened.
Soon, as the image kept playing, everyone in the room gradually understood what was going on.
James looked surprised, and without thinking, he said:
"Who is this guy? In a time of chaos, he acts quickly and decisively, thinks clearly, and is fair in rewards and punishments. Even the best officers in the military might not be able to do this!"
Everything Aiden did looked completely right in James's eyes. If he were in The White City, he would have made the same decisions as Aiden.
Meanwhile, Eira, seeing her daughter Kelsey safe in the image, let out a breath of relief. She turned to a minister and said.
"Find out, as quickly as possible, who this young man is."
The minister quickly left and came back in less than two minutes.
"Your Majesty, this young man is a student from The White City. His name is Aiden. He is an Iron Rank Reclasser and a Magic Apprentice. He was expelled from the city's school."
After hearing this, everyone in the room was shocked for a moment.
A student?
Iron Rank? The lowest level of Magic Apprentice?
And he was kicked out of school?
James couldn't help but look again at the image in the Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities. How could someone with such a cold and ruthless attitude come from someone like this?
"But there's something strange about Aiden's information in the Reclasser Association." the minister continued. "He completed his first Class Change mission, killing a regional red-flagged boss, and also a national level red-flagged boss. And he recently took on his second Class Change mission."
In an instant, the ministers who had been stunned before now looked completely shocked.
One of them even asked in disbelief: "Are you sure the information is correct?"
A newly awakened Iron Rank Magic Apprentice who killed two red-flagged bosses and reached 20 level? That was impossible.
Even the famous geniuses of The Sovereign City, like Vespera, didn't have 20 level, did they?
James suddenly felt that the name Aiden sounded familiar.
He thought carefully and realized he had heard it before from his sister Vivi.
"Your Majesty, the information must be correct. My sister Vivi, along with Vespera and John, was saved by a man named Aiden when they went into the Abyss."
"He killed the Flame Demon Oslu, a red-flagged boss that the empire was chasing."
Eira looked surprised. How could an Iron Rank Reclasser have the power to kill a Flame Demon Oslu in such a short time?
Oslu was a 40 level Abyss boss, one of the most important subordinates of the Demon Duke Ethan.
"Looks like Kelsey made the right choice. Let's not talk about anything else—this young man named Aiden should be able to help the others in The White City survive a little longer." Eira said quickly.
James nodded, but Felix didn't think so.
The moment he heard the name Aiden, a hint of killing intent appeared in his heart.
Owen had told him everything as soon as he left The White City.
"Grandpa, you must avenge me! I ended up as a puppet and got so badly hurt because of that guy named Aiden!"
"He must die in The White City!"
Thinking of his grandson Owen's words, Felix took a deep breath and said.
"Everyone, Aiden gathered all the people in The White City. That's like asking for death!"
"If they had scattered, they might have slowed down the demons and monsters a bit."
"Now, Aiden is leading tens of thousands of people to die!"
Felix looked up at the empress and added."Princess Kelsey might also be in even greater danger because of Aiden's decision!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ministers all nodded and started talking:
"Yes, there are so many Abyss demons. Aiden's actions will cause all of them to die because of him!"
"You're right. If they had hidden and waited for the space to stabilize, at least some of them would have survived."
"So in that case, this Aiden is basically a criminal!"
"A lowly Iron Rank Reclasser, and even got kicked out of school. He must be weak in both ability and morals!"
Eira coldly looked at Felix and the other ministers.
These conservative officials, even in this moment, were still trying to avoid and not fight.
She didn't agree with them, but many people in the empire supported Felix.
Even she, the empress, couldn't do much against him.
Eira looked at James, and he immediately stepped forward and said angrily:
"The Abyss is an invader! Is it wrong to fight back against invasion and killing?"
Felix sneered and said."Going against the impossible isn't bravery, it's stupidity!"
"There are so many Abyss demons and monsters. These people can't beat them at all!"
"Can this Aiden really lead the people of The White City to defeat the invading demons and monsters?"
James had no answer.
According to his experience, the survivors of The White City really couldn't fight against those demons and monsters.
One reason was the strength of the enemy, the other was that The White City was now lacking a top level warrior.
In a war, without a strong leader to boost morale, when the casualties get too high, everyone would break and give up fighting.
At that moment, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the hall and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, I've already discussed with the key university in Ironvale and Garvard University in The Sovereign City."
"Before The White City's space stabilizes, we can allow genius students under 50 level to enter The White City."
Eira's eyes lit up and she said."Master Atlas, that's actually a good idea."
"No, the genius students from the key universities and Garvard University in The Sovereign City are the future of the empire. It's too risky to send them into The White City. They might suffer a lot of losses!" Felix spoke out in opposition.
He continued right away."How about this? To protect the future of the empire and the safety of the princess, we can send a small number of genius students. They just need to protect the princess."
The middle-aged man from before, who was the chairman of The Sovereign City's Reclasser Association, Atlas, glared angrily at Felix.
"What about the tens of thousands of people in The White City? Are we just going to abandon them?"
Felix nodded. His meaning was clear.
"There's no time left. This is the only way to protect the princess and avoid too many losses."
In his eyes, the lower-tier Reclassers and the common people of The White City were all expendable.
Atlas clenched his fists. He knew that if Felix's plan was followed, Vespera would also be protected.
But he just couldn't stand to see people from The White City die.
"Fifty years ago, the Abyss invaded. The empire did nothing then. Fifty-five thousand people died. Are we going to make the same mistake again?" War God James suddenly said.
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Felix sighed and slowly pointed at Aiden in the image.
"Do you really think he can stop the demons and monsters from the Abyss?"
Empress Eira stood up. Her eyes showed some pain. She slowly closed her eyes and then opened them again.
"Order the suitable genius students to go to the area near The White City and get ready."
"If the survivors led by Aiden quickly fall apart, then we don't need to send the genius students into The White City."
Eira's hand trembled slightly as she held her staff. Doing this meant she was giving up on saving her daughter.
"But if Aiden and his group can hold on, all the suitable students must enter The White City!"
Eira had never thought that one day, an Iron Rank Magic Apprentice would be so important.
She watched the scene and thought to herself."Aiden, as long as you can hold on, even if you're just Iron Rank, I will do my best to train you!"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C50: Kelsey's Words, the Enemy Appears, the Sword as the Boundary
Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Kelsey's Words, the Enemy Appears, the Sword as the Boundary
The White City, City Center.
Time passed slowly. After Aiden finished arranging everything, he held the Epic Iron Dragon's Magic Staff, wore the Iron Dragon's Battle Armor, and wore the Abyssthe Flame Demon cloak. His huge iron wings were fully spread open.
Every surviving person who was busy felt nervous and uneasy, and they all looked toward him.
At this moment, Aiden had become their main support. It seemed that as long as he was there, the Abyss demons and monsters in the space rift didn't seem so terrifying anymore.
"Aiden, if it gets too dangerous, Kelsey hopes you can take care of yourself..." Kelsey lowered her head and spoke softly.
Aiden smiled. With the Epic Shadow Stealth, even if something unexpected happened, he was sure he could make it to the end.
"Why, don't you believe in me?" Aiden asked slowly.
Kelsey looked up and shook her head firmly. "Fifty years ago, a mid-sized city in the empire fell into the Abyss. Fifty-five thousand people, none survived."
"No survivors. Many people have almost forgotten that history."
"I am the princess of the empire. The White City's situation is also because of me. So I want to stay with them, even if in the end... we all die."
Kelsey looked at the survivors around her, full of guilt but also determination.
Aiden was a bit surprised. He hadn't expected a child to say such things.
"No, the Evil Demons Guild would still act, and the Abyss would still attack. This painful responsibility isn't something a kid like you should carry."
Aiden looked up at the space rift above, getting closer and closer. He raised the Iron Dragon's Magic Staff and said with a smile.
"This time won't be the same. From now on, there will be a story in the Abyss. Aiden, the general appointed by Princess Kelsey, will lead The White City to resist the Abyss's attack. From that day on, the human race will sound the call to fight back against the Abyss."
Kelsey's eyes lit up. If someone else had said this, she might have thought it was a joke. But she raised her arm along with Aiden and said seriously.
"That's right! They will remember our names!"
Aiden patted Kelsey on the head. Without thinking about her royal title, she was just a ten-year-old kid.
If he had a little sister, she would probably be like Kelsey—kind and strong.
"Come on, go find Vespera and the others." Aiden said, seeing Vespera and her group running over.
John was holding a skill book, scratching his head and saying: "I found this skill book when I was getting supplies. It's Starlight Rank. I don't know if you can use it."
A Starlight Rank skill book?
Aiden's eyes immediately lit up and he took it from John.
[Victor's Hand: Starlight Rank, a non-combat skill. Not only does the victor have the right to write history, but they also get the loot. By using a little bit of magic power, you can immediately put any dropped items into your storage space after killing a target.]
When Aiden saw it was a non-combat skill, he was a little disappointed. But when he read all the details, he became excited.
There would definitely be a big battle soon, and he didn't have time to collect all the loot. With this skill, that problem was solved.
Aiden didn't refuse. He said thanks to John and immediately learned the skill.
"What do you want in return? I have..."
Aiden hadn't finished speaking when John shook his head right away. "No, this skill book is useless to me. Helping you is the best thing I can do."
He was speaking from the heart. After all, in this situation, only Aiden could help them survive.
Aiden said with a half-smile."Okay, but you really don't want to know what I'll use to repay you?"
"I don't need anything." John answered without hesitation.
He was the main branch of the largest trade company in the Sovereign City, the Hawthorne Family. Except for some really rare things, he could get anything he wanted.
Aiden gave up for now. After the situation in The White City was settled, if John found out that Aiden had an Epic Demon's Heart on him, he might regret saying that.
The time was about right. Black cracks began to appear on the ground of The White City, barely visible at first.
The demons and monsters from the Abyss were about to arrive.
"Here they come. Get ready for battle." Aiden's huge iron wings slowly flapped, and he flew up above the survivors of The White City.
The survivors, who were once scared and confused, looked up quickly and regained their calm.
Aiden slightly lowered his head and found the mayor, Randy, the leader of the Warrior God Guild, Leo, and the leader of The White City Reclasser Association, Lucien.
"Did you remember what to do next?"
They all nodded firmly. Their eyes showed some admiration as they answered."General, all the tactics are already memorized. There will be no mistakes at all!"
Aiden felt a little relieved. The number of demons and monsters coming from the space rift was much more than the survivors of The White City.
And some of the survivors had even hidden themselves.
To win this battle, they had to use some tactics to achieve victory with fewer people.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
At that moment, one after another, black space rifts suddenly opened. Countless ugly demons and monsters, holding weapons, appeared in The White City.
The crowd became confused again. Some people's hands trembled as they held their weapons, their legs weak, almost ready to fall to the ground.
Aiden took a deep breath. These people were definitely not trained soldiers, so it was normal for them to feel scared at this moment.
But as the temporary general of The White City, he couldn't let this fear spread and grow in the group. That would be too foolish.
He had to raise the spirits of all the survivors right from the start of the battle!
Without hesitation, Aiden flapped his Iron Dragon wings behind him, and flew straight to the front, facing the terrifying demons and monsters from the Abyss.
His back was now in the sight of all the survivors.
When a general or a commander stood at the front of a battle, it could greatly boost the morale of the whole group.
Those Reclassers who had been shaking and scared slowly stopped trembling, and stared at Aiden's back with determination.
But just at that moment, a huge space rift suddenly appeared far away from Aiden.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The rusty joints moved with a loud, painful sound that made people's teeth ache. Everyone instantly turned their eyes to the source of the noise.
A giant spider demon, about thirty meters tall, slowly crawled out of the space rift. Its eight red eyes, each as bright as a huge searchlight, shot out strong red light filled with cruelty, violence, and madness.
"Hahahaha! Humans, so many humans! Yum!"
Thick green saliva dripped from the demon's mouth, hitting the floor and immediately creating a black smoke.
In just a blink of an eye, the floor was burned through, leaving a hole three or four meters wide.
It opened its huge mouth, big enough to swallow a small car, revealing long, hairy fangs. It growled with a terrifying voice:
"Shudder! Fear! Scream!"
"Weak humans, to be food for Lord Roth is your honor!"
Hearing this, the survivors of The White City were shocked. Someone couldn't help but whisper: "A demon noble!"
"His level is invisible to my detection skill!"
"I have a high level detection skill. I can see it. This guy is a 50 level Abyss demon boss!"
"Look! There seem to be other bosses behind the space rift behind this demon boss!"
"Oh no, there are more? Can we even fight them?"
It wasn't just the survivors who felt this way. Even Mayor Randy, the leader of the Warrior God Guild, Leo, and the leader of The White City Reclasser Association, Lucien, felt the pressure.
They instinctively looked up at Aiden, who was floating in the air. But to their surprise, 18-year-old Aiden had no expression on his face. He showed no fear at all.
Aiden took a deep breath. A 50 level Abyss demon boss, and a demon noble at that—this was definitely a big problem.
This guy was probably even stronger than the Flame Demon Oslu.
"Facing a powerful enemy is crucial. If we can't hurt or kill this boss, the morale of the survivors behind me will drop a lot."
"Come on, let's hope my luck is good this time."
It was time to use the experience points he got from killing the Shadow Assassin's clone.
Aiden took a deep breath and quietly used his special skill, Apprentice's Heart!
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart. Consumed 50 million experience points. Gained 300 Strength, 200 Constitution, 200 Spirit, 100 Agility.]
50 million experience points for 800 points of stats?
Again!
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart. Consumed 50 million experience points. Gained 200 Strength, 300 Constitution, 500 Spirit, 150 Agility.]
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart. Consumed 100 million experience points. Gained 200 Strength, 800 Constitution, 1,500 Spirit, 300 Agility.]
200 million experience points, 700 Strength, 1,300 Constitution, 2,200 Spirit, 550 Agility!
Aiden smiled slightly. He swung his right hand, which was holding the Iron Dragon's Magic Staff, to the side. His red cloak behind him flapped loudly.
He took out a long sword with his left hand, which he had already prepared, and slowly raised it in front of him before letting go.
The sword fell straight down, and half of it sank into the ground.
With a slight movement of his huge iron wings behind him, Aiden flew over the sword.
"This sword is the boundary. If I, Aiden, take one step back, anyone can use this sword to cut off my head!"
"Everyone, please watch me fight the enemy!"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C51: The Empire's Worry, Aiden Kills the Boss!
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Empire's Worry, Aiden Kills the Boss!
As soon as he finished speaking, Vivi, who had already been ready, quickly used her profession skill.
She kept speaking strange and hard-to-understand words, and her body started to glow with black and white energy. She flew quickly toward Aiden.
"Demi-God Boost!"
[Demi-God Boost: Epic, a profession skill of Demon God's Messenger. It can strengthen any target. The stronger the skill, the higher the level of the Demon God's Messenger. Current effect: Constitution +2000, extra maximum health +20%, all element magic resistance +20%, extra physical defense +20%, restore 0.5% health per second. Duration: 5 minutes.]
Besides Vivi, other support-class Reclassers among the survivors of The White City also started casting various buff skills on Aiden.
Aiden's screen was soon filled with a lot of notifications.
[You have been buffed by a low level healer. Healing slowly.]
[You have been buffed by a magic enhancer. Magic source.]
...
As all these buffs hit him, Aiden suddenly felt stronger than ever.
"Little insects! Struggle! The more you struggle, the more scared you get. Your flesh will be even tastier!"
"Hahaha! I can't wait anymore!"
The Abyss demon noble Roth laughed wildly. He spewed out green toxic smoke from his mouth, and all buildings within a hundred meters were quickly corroded.
The building collapsed with a loud boom, and large craters appeared on the street, like the end of the world.
In the palace hall of the Sovereign City.
The ministers watched the scene and couldn't help but sigh. Felix said."Oh no, it's a 50 level Abyss boss, and he's even a noble. In The White City, he's basically unstoppable."
He took two steps toward Empress Eira, bowed slightly, and said,
"Your Majesty, I thought Aiden wouldn't last long at all."
"Although I don't know much about military matters, I do know that if Aiden attacks first and can't deal effective damage to that spider demon boss, the others will lose morale. They might even run away immediately."
As soon as Felix finished speaking, he looked at James and asked."What do you think, General James?"
James stayed silent for a moment. The Abyss spider demon Roth was also on the imperial wanted list. This guy was even stronger than the Flame Demon Oslu.
Even the top students from the Sovereign City's best university, Garvard University, couldn't beat Roth under the same level.
Although Aiden now had many buff skills, he was still just a Magic Apprentice.
And the survivors in The White City were different from the well-disciplined soldiers in the army. They could easily run away in panic.
James sighed and said slowly."It's a shame. Aiden is the most outstanding military talent I've ever seen. He sets the example, leads from the front. If he led the imperial army..."
James didn't finish his sentence when Felix interrupted."General James, do you think how long Aiden and his group can last?"
Empress Eira tightly held the imperial scepter, watching James with concern.
"If Aiden can't boost the morale, they will be defeated within ten minutes." James had to answer.
Empress Eira slowly leaned back into her throne. Just ten minutes?
"Suppose Aiden manages to seriously wound the spider demon Roth." suddenly asked Atlas, the chairman of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association.
James answered without hesitation."Morale would rise, but then there would be a brutal battle. The survivors of The White City would eventually break and run after losing 15 to 30% of their people."
"Just... Aiden's strength..."
James was about to say more when he saw Eira suddenly stand up from her throne. She was staring tightly at the image in the Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities, her face full of shock and disbelief.
Everyone in the hall turned their heads to look at the screen.
In The White City, at the front of the survivors.
Aiden faced the spider demon and simply said."You will be killed by the Great Shaw Empire, appointed general by Lord Kelsey—Aiden!"
Boom!
A terrifying ice element gathered and appeared in an instant near the spider demon Roth!
Ultimate Frost!
With the help of various buff skills, and the effect of over 2000 Spirit from Apprentice's Heart, Ultimate Frost became more terrifying than ever.
In the blink of an eye, it completely froze the spider demon's huge body!
He couldn't move at all!
"What?!!"
At this moment, the spider demon's expression suddenly changed. His eight big eyes showed a hint of fear and disbelief!
A 20 level human? How could he freeze him like that? It was completely beyond his expectation.
But, after all, he was a demon noble, 50 level. He wouldn't just sit there and do nothing.
Inside the thick layer of ice, the spider demon spat out even more green smoke. The hard ice was disappearing before their eyes.
"Human, you've made me angry!"
"This must be your strongest skill, right? You still have a long way to go if you want to kill me!" Roth quickly calmed down.
But as just half of his body broke free from the ice, he suddenly heard a thunderous sound in his ears!
"Boom! Boom!"
Purple lightning surged wildly, and a crazy wave of lightning instantly surrounded him!
Within a thousand meters around the spider demon Roth, everything was filled with wild lightning.
It became a true ocean of lightning!
Zhi zhi!
Zhi zhi zhi!
"Ahhhh! Damn it! You're definitely not 20 level! You sneaky human, how dare you trick me!"
Black burns kept appearing on Roth's huge body.
His health was dropping fast, from 100% to 70%, and still going down!
Aiden saw this and was a bit surprised. The power of Thunder's Wrath was beyond his expectation.
At this moment, Roth's health suddenly dropped a lot!
His big mouth spewed out a lot of blood, clearly showing he was badly hurt.
Aiden's eyes lit up. He knew that Thunder's Wrath had a chance to deal real damage, directly reducing the target's health and causing triple lightning damage.
"Looks like my luck is here!"
Seize the moment!
As Roth's health was about to drop to 50%, Aiden didn't hesitate at all. He quickly drank as much mana potion as he could.
Within seconds, three powerful skills hit Roth, and his health dropped quickly to 30%.
He roared loudly, and his whole body glowed green. A flood of green liquid quickly covered his body, forming a hard green armor.
"Poison Armor!"
Suddenly, Roth's health dropped much more slowly.
"You've used all your skills, right? Now it's my turn, human. I'll eat you piece by piece!"
Roth opened his huge spider legs, ready to strike back.
Aiden smiled slightly and said."Who told you I have no more skills left?"
"Blazing Tornado!"
In an instant, the waves of fire and wind spread across the street where the spider demon was.
A huge fire whirlwind appeared out of nowhere!
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The green armor on Roth's body was torn apart by the wind and melted by the heat.
Roth instinctively tried to turn and jump into a space rift.
He was running away!
A 20 level human just used four powerful skills in a row. Was this really a weak human?
The threat of death made Roth panic. He had just turned, when he suddenly stopped moving.
His thirty-meter-tall body fell down with a huge crash. The ground shook.
Silence. A deadly silence.
Vespera, Kelsey, Vivi, and others stared wide-eyed at Aiden's back in the sky.
And the survivors from The White City didn't know what to say. Some even rubbed their eyes, trying to see if they were dreaming.
[Killed 50 level Abyss Demon Boss Roth, Experience +400,000]
...
[Killed 50 level Abyss Demon Boss Roth, Experience +400,000,000]
[Received Epic Demon's Heart ×1000, Spider Demon Fang ×1000...]
[Spider Demon Venom Glove: Epic, contains the poison of the spider demon. Extra HP +30,000, Defense +3000, Spirit +2000. Consumes a little mana to spray toxic gas that can corrode most materials and deal continuous damage to enemies. Consumes a lot of mana to form a layer of toxic armor covering the body, increasing physical defense by 50% and reducing magic damage by 10%.]
[Received Epic Skill Book, Metal Element Arrow.]
[You have completed the Third Class Mission]
After confirming that the spider demon Roth was dead, Aiden didn't hesitate at all. He used the Winner's Hand immediately, putting all the drops into his storage space.
He even put on the Epic Spider Demon Venom Glove right away and learned the skill book.
[Metal Element Arrow: Epic, allows you to use the metal element to create one or more arrows. It ignores 30% of the enemy's physical and magic defense, dealing a deadly hit and causing high damage. The more arrows you shoot, the more mana you use. The speed and power of the arrows depend on your Spirit attribute.
You can master five different element arrows: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Combining them can create the Legendary Rank skill, Element Arrow.]
Ignoring 30% of the enemy's physical and magic defense?
That's really strong!
If he had this skill earlier, the spider demon would have died much faster!
But for now, he still lacked some defensive skills. That would have to wait for later.
Aiden sighed in his heart: "No wonder the 50 level Abyss demon boss dropped so much useful stuff and materials."
He let out a breath, raised his staff high, and shouted:
"Everyone, the Abyss demons are nothing!"
"Follow me and fight!"
The survivors from The White City cheered and shouted."General!"
"Kill them! Kill them!"
"Follow General Aiden, we will win!"
At the same time, in The Sovereign City.
Empress Eira, the ministers, and Atlas James were completely stunned.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C52: Felix's Thoughts, the Change on the Battlefield
Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Felix's Thoughts, the Change on the Battlefield
"Dead? He's dead?"
"Wasn't that the spider demon Roth from the Abyss? Did Aiden kill him?"
"My god, how did he do it?"
"Didn't he just use a dark skill?"
"A Magic Apprentice of Iron Rank killed a 50 level Abyss boss? Am I just too stressed and seeing things?"
The ministers' whispers quickly brought Eira back to her senses. She looked at Aiden's back as he charged forward into a sea of demons and monsters, and her eyes were full of shock and disbelief.
"Quick! Send the top students who are ready near The White City into the city space to support!"
"Hurry!"
Eira didn't hesitate. She was scared this might all be a dream.
But the cold feel of the Imperial Staff in her hand quickly brought her back to reality.
To hold on?
Aiden wasn't just holding on. He was completely beyond everyone's expectations!
Even the imperial war god James had only hoped Aiden could deal some real damage to the spider demon Roth.
But now, Aiden had actually killed the enemy!
Eira's heart was beating fast. As the Empress of the Great Shaw Empire, she had seen a lot in her life, but at this moment, she couldn't help but want to cheer for Aiden.
But Felix's reaction was completely different. His eyes widened, and he took a step back instinctively.
His grandson Owen had never told him that Aiden was this strong.
This was definitely not something a 20 level reclasser could do, not even an Epic class could achieve it!
Unless...
Aiden's class was fake. He was faking his real class!
Aiden was a Mythic Reclasser! A genius of his race, a person with great fortune!
Felix's mind was working fast as he thought.
"Uh-oh, the number of prodigies appearing in the empire has already increased a lot. If another Aiden comes along, most people might feel hopeful about fighting back against the Abyss!"
"Then the military department led by James and others will get a lot of support. We, the conservative faction, will have to back down at every step."
"Even the Empress might use these people from the military to limit my power and push me out of the core of the empire."
Felix was the top minister of the empire. He always looked at things from a sharp and long-term perspective, and he thought of all the possibilities in an instant.
Especially the event in The White City would definitely cause anger among people across the country, and large-scale protests would follow.
Suddenly, a thought appeared in Felix's mind. He had to stop this from happening. The empire absolutely could not get into a large-scale war with the Abyss!
Without hesitation, Felix took a step forward and said:
"Your Majesty, Aiden... "
The War God James and Atlas exchanged a look, and they immediately realized that this old man Felix was about to say something bad.
James suddenly shouted loudly, cutting Felix off, and said.
"Your Majesty, Aiden is so young, and he saved The White City with his own strength. He deserves the empire's reward!"
"I think Aiden has great potential. He would be suitable for joining the military department. After enough training, he could become a war god even stronger than me one day."
"Cleaning the shame and solving the Abyss crisis is just around the corner!"
Felix's face turned dark. If Aiden joined the military department, that would be a disaster.
"Aiden just used a dark skill. A few years ago, the empire had a genius who awakened to a Legendary Rank class. But he learned dark skills and eventually betrayed the empire, joining the Evil Demons Guild." Felix said.
"Aiden can get the reward, but he absolutely must not be allowed into the military or get heavily trained by the empire!" Felix said firmly.
The whole hall fell silent. The ministers behind Felix quickly understood and nodded in agreement.
"Silence!" Empress Eira tapped the ground with her imperial staff. No one dared to speak anymore.
At that moment, the Mirror of Ten Thousand Cities flickered suddenly. Everyone turned to look.
In the giant space rift where the spider demon Roth had come from, two more 50 level bosses stepped out!
"Great! Two new bosses appeared at once. Aiden probably can't fight anymore now!"
"How much longer until the top students arrive?"
"The top students have already entered. They're rushing from the edge of The White City to the battlefield. It will take at least three minutes!"
"Three minutes... by the time they get here, the situation might already be out of control."
"Damn it, should we send some of the top students to protect Princess Kelsey instead?"
Eira became tense again. The battlefield was changing rapidly. The joy and excitement from before vanished in an instant, and her heart felt heavy again.
Eira bit her lip and said."All the top students must focus on supporting Aiden. Kelsey will be fine!"
James looked at the scene in The White City with a serious face. The real challenge was just beginning. As more survivors died, the city's collapse was coming fast.
Before that, the support had to arrive. Otherwise, everything would be in vain.
In the center of The White City, dazzling skills, warm blood, and painful screams turned the place into an unimaginable hell.
More and more demons and monsters from the Abyss fell, letting out loud screams as they died.
On the front lines of The White City, warrior-type Reclassers kept getting injured and falling.
A professional fell into a pool of blood, looking at Aiden's back in the sky. With the last of his strength, he coughed up blood and muttered:
"General, fight... fight the enemy."
"Fight the enemy."
He wasn't a soldier from The White City. He was just an ordinary Reclasser. But he wasn't scared of death. He kept watching Aiden.
When he saw Aiden use his skills, killing enemy after enemy, he finally closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
The other survivors stepped over his body and kept fighting, in a battle that was extremely brutal.
Above, Aiden had gone completely red in the eyes. All he could think about was killing every demon and monster that had entered The White City. No one would be left.
But deep down, his sense of reason told him that if he kept fighting like this, he would lose.
So he quickly threw out a signal stick.
On the battlefield, Randy and others didn't hesitate. They led their teams into nearby buildings.
Far away, the two 50 level Abyss bosses stepped on the body of the spider demon Roth. They looked down with contempt and said:
"Useless. Dying at the hands of a Magic Apprentice? That's a disgrace. If EthanLord knew, he'd be very disappointed."
"These humans still dare to fight back? Now they're finally scared. It's too late to run!"
A demon with four thick arms bent his legs. The ground cracked under him. Then, like a missile, he shot into the air, straight at Aiden.
"Human, die!"
Aiden's Spirit attribute, boosted by powerful equipment and buffs, was terrifying. He sensed the attack coming immediately.
His steel wings behind him suddenly flapped, and he vanished from his original spot in an instant. His body left a trail of afterimages in the air as he flew toward the other 50 level Abyss boss.
This boss looked almost like a normal human, except for the terrifying bone wings on his back.
Aiden's plan was simple. He could use his flight to draw the attention of the two bosses, constantly pulling them away.
Otherwise, if the two bosses entered the group of survivors in The White City, it could lead to even more deaths, and maybe even a total collapse.
Aiden took a deep breath. His Epic staff in hand glowed with golden light, and a thick golden arrow, as thick as an arm, quickly formed.
"Whoosh!"
The Metal Element Arrow broke through the air with a loud, sharp sound, rushing toward the demon with bone wings.
"Hmph, do you think I'm that useless Roth?" The demon boss instantly spread his huge bone wings.
In front of him, a pile of white bones appeared out of thin air, forming a bone shield to block Aiden's attack.
"Stupid human, this is a Starlight Rank bone shield. Your attack can't..."
"Boom!"
The Metal Element Arrow easily passed through the bone shield and struck the demon's wing.
"You... what kind of skill is that?"
Aiden didn't answer. Right then, the four-armed demon jumped from the ground and charged toward him again.
He kept dodging, using just himself to hold back the two most powerful Abyss bosses on the battlefield.
"Quick! Release the Explosive Fire Dragon!"
"Don't go out! Our job is to use the terrain to break up the Abyss monsters' formation!"
"Damn it, I lost my legs to a demon! Don't worry about me, just go!"
"Go! If you stay, you'll die too!"
"I killed three demons, I don't regret dying!"
"Attack me! Come on! Use your skills on me! I've got the legs of two demons!"
War always means death and blood, but some people are willing to sacrifice themselves—they have no choice.
In the narrow streets and buildings, a large number of Abyss demons and monsters were ambushed and kept dying.
One body after another, human or demon, covered the ground. Blood slowly flowed, and everything turned red.
A top student from Ironvale University, who had come to support, stepped into the thick blood.
He looked at the broken limbs and body parts before him. His pupils widened in shock, and he almost threw up.
"This silly game is over. The strong smell of death is telling me that the humans in this city are already dead... no, this is the smell of demons dying!"
"How could so many demons die? What did you do?" The four-armed boss stared in shock and shouted.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C53: The Abyss Retreats, a Heavy Victory
Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Abyss Retreats, a Heavy Victory
The four-armed demon didn't understand what was going on. The humans who were fighting back had, out of fear, run into the buildings of the city.
All the Abyss demons and monsters needed to do was find them, and the fear of death would naturally break the weak humans.
Before he became a demon noble, the four-armed demon had taken part in an invasion once.
He remembered that back then, all the humans he met either cried for mercy or did nothing but cause tiny injuries. Then he would bite off their heads.
The human brains had a delicious, sweet smell.
But today, the smell of death around him was mostly from his own allies!
The four-armed boss couldn't figure it out. He looked down and saw something in a dead-end street.
A human warrior with one arm was using his remaining left hand to tightly squeeze the throat of an Abyss demon. The man even bit into the demon's neck with his teeth.
Even though the demon had already pierced his stomach with its claws.
"This isn't a normal human Reclasser!"
"We've been tricked! It's a trap!" shouted the four-armed demon boss.
The demon with white bone wings suddenly stopped chasing Aiden.
Aiden hovered in the air, watching the terrible scene in the dead-end street. The Reclasser from The White City finally killed the Abyss demon, but he didn't survive.
The man fell to the ground and looked directly into Aiden's eyes.
He smiled, and with great effort, raised his thumb. He opened his mouth, trying to say something.
"General... tell the others... kill... more... more..." His arm fell heavily into the blood.
Aiden's eye twitched, and his lips trembled slightly.
He knew that when a team suffered enough losses, everyone would break and stop fighting.
Using the small streets, alleys, and buildings of The White City could not only spread out the Abyss demons and monsters, but also prevent a large-scale retreat.
This strategy worked, but it was cruel.
The survivors of The White City could live if they followed him. But not everyone would make it.
Aiden's throat moved up and down as he tried to say something, but in the end, only one word came out:
"Kill!"
His body was drained of a lot of magic power, and a thick shadow appeared in the sky.
As soon as the shadow appeared, Aiden disappeared.
Epic Skill: Shadow Stealth!
The four-armed demon boss, and the demon with huge white bone wings, suddenly became very nervous.
Aiden's disappearance only made their fear worse.
It wasn't the Abyss that invaded The White City. It was The White City that was hunting the Abyss demons and monsters on purpose!
"The Great Shaw Empire, Garvard University, Evan, coming to support!"
"The Great Shaw Empire, Ironvale student, coming to support! Everyone, the reinforcements are here!"
"The Great Shaw Empire..."
A group of young people quickly entered the center of the battle.
They shouted loudly. They knew what was most important at this moment — to let the survivors of The White City know that help had arrived, and this war was about to end!
"Reinforcements are here!"
"Counterattack!"
"Kill! The enemies of the Abyss are retreating! Don't let them get away!"
"Brothers, General Aiden is still fighting!"
"Kill!"
Even though their bodies were full of wounds, even though their magic power was gone, even though they couldn't pick up their weapons — the survivors of The White City still kept fighting.
After killing an enemy, they would look up at the sky, then charge forward again, without thinking about their lives.
More and more top students joined the battle. The demons and monsters of the Abyss began to retreat even faster.
The first Garvard University student to appear, Evan, suddenly jumped into the air. His Diamond Rank battle boots gave off two small wings, letting him fly.
"Demons, die!"
But before he could get close to the Abyss demon boss, he saw the two bosses turn and run toward a nearby space rift.
Evan was stunned. He thought, I haven't even started fighting yet, and the enemies are already running away?
In the next moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadow — it was Aiden!
He stood right in front of the two Abyss demon bosses, blocking their escape path!
"Ultimate Frost!"
"Metal Element Arrow!"
All of his magic power was used up completely!
Aiden held nothing back. Right in front of him, dozens of golden arrows suddenly appeared — about sixty or seventy in total. They flew like a rainstorm, rushing toward the two Abyss demon bosses.
The two bosses tried to dodge, but Ultimate Frost had already appeared around them without them even noticing.
Even if it couldn't completely freeze them, it was enough to slow them down.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
A painful scream filled the air. The four-armed Abyss demon boss had several big holes in his body.
The demon with white bone wings wasn't any better. After being hit by Aiden's attack, it could no longer fly and wobbled in the air.
The top students who had come to help didn't miss the chance. They all attacked the two Abyss demon bosses.
Aiden wanted to keep fighting, but his magic power was completely gone. He couldn't even stay in the air anymore.
His body fell quickly — and the place he was falling into was filled with more than a dozen regular Abyss demons.
The survivors of The White City nearby saw this and widened their eyes. They didn't care about the enemies nearby any more. They ran toward Aiden like crazy.
A few regular Abyss demons noticed something. They looked up.
But when they saw it was Aiden — the one who had killed the noble demon lord — their faces turned pale with fear.
These demons ran away in panic, no longer daring to fight.
"General Aiden!"
"Sir!"
Even the survivors who were about to fall over reached out instinctively, trying to catch Aiden.
They never thought about it — in this situation, an adult's weight was enough to crush a wounded person.
Luckily, a magic Reclasser raised his staff and cast a skill.
Several green vines shot up from the ground, weaving together into a green net that gently caught Aiden.
At the same time, the two Abyss demon bosses were being attacked by several top students. They let out loud, painful cries.
"Damn it! The Abyss won't let you go!"
"Humans, you will all fall into the Abyss!"
Their voices grew weaker, and then they finally died.
[Assisted in killing a 50 level Abyss boss, experience +200,000]
[Assisted in killing a 50 level Abyss boss, experience +200,000]
...
[Assisted in killing a 50 level Abyss boss, experience +200,000,000]
[Assisted in killing a 50 level Abyss boss, experience +200,000,000]
Neither of the bosses was killed by Aiden. He could only get part of the experience.
Aiden wasn't surprised.
At that moment, if he didn't fight all out, at least one of the two Abyss bosses would have escaped.
High level materials would come later.
Right now, Aiden just wanted all the Abyss demons and monsters that had entered The White City to be killed — not one of them could leave alive.
He kept pouring magic potions into his mouth, hoping to keep fighting. But Evan slowly landed from the sky.
"You're General Aiden, right? We'll take care of the rest."
Aiden looked at Evan with confusion.
Evan explained."The Empress ordered Ironvale University and the top students from the Sovereign City Garvard University to come and support General Aiden."
He bent down and bowed to Aiden, then turned around and ran off with the others to chase the enemies.
Aiden let out a breath. The Sovereign City had sent help. That meant more survivors from The White City would live.
"General, are you okay?" someone asked.
Aiden shook his head. He looked at the person and saw that his right arm was missing, and blood was still flowing.
So badly hurt, yet still worried about him.
Aiden's magic power had recovered a little. He immediately used a Platinum Rank Light Healing Spell on the person.
The war had ended, but he still had things to do.
Aiden drank one potion after another, quickly moving to where the injured were. He and the support class students worked together to treat the seriously wounded.
As for the lightly injured, or those who weren't about to die, Aiden didn't even look at them.
No one knew how long had passed. When Kelsey and Vespera found him, Aiden was almost completely exhausted.
The high-intensity battle, plus using the Light Healing Spell non-stop, had pushed his body to the limit.
"Aiden, take a break." Kelsey finally said.
Aiden shook his head. As soon as he stopped, images of all sorts of things filled his mind — especially the warrior Reclasser who had died in a dead-end alley.
That blood-covered thumb — he just couldn't forget it.
Aiden wasn't a cold-hearted person. The cruel tactics were only for victory, to save as many people from The White City as possible.
He felt no joy from winning — only a heavy heart.
Aiden walked into a dead-end alley. He wanted to separate the warrior Reclasser's body from the demon.
It took a lot of strength to pull the man's arm apart. He spoke quietly."What you said, I'll never forget."
Later, Aiden returned to the place where they had first gathered.
Reclassers who weren't seriously injured began cleaning up the battlefield, carrying the bodies of their fallen comrades.
One by one, the bodies were placed in the center of The White City.
Evan walked over, gave a bow first, and then said."General, all the enemies have been cleared. The White City should soon be free and return to normal."
"Normal?" Aiden looked around at the bodies, his eyes filled with sadness.
He didn't know why, but he felt a heavy ache in his heart, and he wanted to do something to let it out.
"Everyone, come here." Aiden said slowly. "I have something to say."
Soon, all the survivors gathered in front of Aiden, just like they had at the beginning.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C54: The War Has Not Ended, Completing the Class Change
Chapter 54: Chapter 54: The War Has Not Ended, Completing the Class Change
A multitude of grateful eyes, filled with a touch of solemnity, fell upon Aiden.
He didn't speak. Everyone around him remained in absolute silence.
Aiden couldn't describe his current emotions. This was the first time he had experienced such a situation, and he had witnessed the cruelty of war firsthand.
Of the tens of thousands of survivors in The White City, only half had made it through.
Mayor Randy, Lucien from the The White City Reclasser Association, and Leo from the Warrior God Guild exchanged silent glances. They were concerned about Aiden's current Spirit state.
Even they, who had seen their share of hardships, were now in a state of shock. After all, such a brutal war could shatter a person's will.
But Aiden was different. He was so young, had just awakened not long ago, yet he had led the survivors of The White City to survive.
In the history of the Empire, only The White City had achieved an astonishing survival rate after falling into the Abyss.
Mayor Randy took a deep breath and stepped forward two paces, speaking in a low voice.
"General Aiden, no one could have done better than you. If it hadn't been for you stepping forward and leading us in the rebellion, we would all have died here, becoming food for the demons."
No one disagreed, for they all knew Randy was telling the truth. It wasn't until the war had come to a complete end that they realized Aiden was, in fact, just an eighteen-year-old boy.
Aiden slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over one corpse after another. Most of the bodies were incomplete—some had been reduced to meat scattered on the battlefield, while others had ended up in the stomachs of demons and monsters.
"Has the war ended?" Aiden suddenly asked, his voice not very loud.
Those standing a bit further away didn't catch what he said, so the people in front quickly whispered the words to those behind them.
"it's over, general, we've won! All the demons and monsters from the abyss are dead!" someone shouted, raising their arms in excitement.
Aiden took a deep breath and shook his head.
"No, it's not over yet."
"The dead are dead. They won't come back to tell us how painful, how helpless, how scared they were when they died."
"Those of us who are still alive have something we must do for them."
"What happened in the white city today will soon spread across the whole network. I need you survivors to tell every person in the great shaw empire..."Aiden paused for a moment, his eyes suddenly full of determination and a sharp, cold anger.
He continued."The white city event is not the end of the war. It's the beginning!"
"The beginning of the human's war of revenge against the abyss!"
Silence. The survivors were stunned for a moment, then burst into a roaring, deafening cheer.
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
Their eyes were red, and their faces showed a special kind of expression.
Anger!
Hatred!
Those standing near Aiden—the top students, as well as Vespera, Vivi, John, and Kelsey—looked at him with a kind of admiration that was hard to describe, even a bit of worship.
Even the kind-hearted Kelsey couldn't help but clench her fists and whispered along with the others:
"Revenge."
There are many things that can change a person, but a brutal war is surely one of the strongest.
Vespera and Vivi took a deep breath. In their eyes, there was something different now.
At the most critical moment, with just his own strength, he turned the tide of the battle. That was something only a true hero could do!
Aiden was their hero, and also the hero of The White City!
...
About twenty minutes later, Luke and Sean, along with many medical staff, entered The White City.
When Sean saw that Kelsey was safe, he finally let out a big sigh of relief.
Luke quickly walked up to Aiden and said."Aiden, no, General Aiden, the Empress has already heard about what happened here. She wants you to go to the Sovereign City to receive your reward."
"To be honest, I just thought you could protect the princess until help arrived. I didn't expect you to actually mobilize the survivors and start a counterattack. And you won!"
Luke looked at Aiden with admiration, and felt a deep sense of relief. Without Aiden, everything would have been lost!
Aiden slowly said."At the time, I promised them that every enemy we killed would bring a big reward."
Luke was a little surprised and replied."Don't worry. You're the General of The White City. Your words are the will of the empire. Once we count everything, all the rewards will be given out."
"And those warriors who died in battle should also get their compensation from the empire."
Aiden nodded and continued."When are we going to the Sovereign City?"
Luke said it could be anytime. The Empress had said the empire could wait.
That was how the empire showed respect to a hero.
But if anyone else heard this, they would have been eager to go to the Sovereign City to see the Empress right away.
At that moment, Evan also came over. He first bowed to Aiden and then said.
"General, things here are temporarily under control. The students who came to help need to return."
Aiden nodded. Then he suddenly remembered that Evan was from Garvard University in the Sovereign City, so he asked:
"Did you take the College Testing last year?"
Evan gave a small surprise and replied."Yes, General, I took the College Testing last year. My hometown is also Ironvale."
Aiden thought for a moment. It had been only one year since Evan entered Garvard University, and he had already become a level 50 powerhouse.
Sure enough, a good university could speed up a Reclasser's growth.
After Evan left, Luke suddenly remembered something and whispered to Aiden:
"The White City went through all this. The impact is huge. Maybe the College Testing this year will change too."
Aiden asked, and Luke explained that the Evil Demons Guild had been acting more and more frequently. This attack on The White City was something completely new.
It was possible that the Sovereign City would move the College Testing up early to keep talented students safe.
The story of The White City spread online very quickly.
For the Great Shaw Empire, it had been fifty years since the last time the Abyss had invaded.
Many people, when they heard that The White City was about to fall into the Abyss because of the Evil Demons Guild, first thought that everyone in The White City would be killed by the demons and monsters.
But when the real news came online, they were completely shocked.
"Is this real? A eighteen-year-old boy, appointed as General by the princess, then leading the survivors to fight against the Abyss demons and turn everything around?"
"I think it's fake. Such things only happen in movies."
"Do you have no common sense? A temporary team, when the losses reach 30%, they should have already run away!"
"We have the right to know the truth! These fake stories are insulting to the people!"
These kinds of comments kept appearing online and quickly became the mainstream. But as the survivors from The White City proved it online and videos from different angles came out, the entire online community of the Great Shaw Empire fell silent.
"Wow, is this even human?"
"Since when has the Magic Apprentice become so powerful? Even with the help of many supporting Reclassers' buffs, it's still too strong, right?"
"If Aiden is a Magic Apprentice, then what am I, a Flame Mage? Am I just a waste of space?"
"No, this guy must come from a military family. Every decision he made was the best choice at the time. Just thinking of one or two of them and carrying them out is already enough to be considered a military genius."
"What? Aiden just woke up not long ago? He hasn't even taken the College Testing yet?"
"The princess appointed a general on the spot, and he actually beat the Abyss!"
A famous blogger with a million followers arrived at The White City right away, learned everything that had happened, and combined the stories that were spreading online to tell the full story.
He posted a video in the evening, and in just one hour, it had eight million views.
Many military experts started analyzing all of Aiden's choices, and finally came to amazing conclusions.
"It wasn't a coincidence, not just luck. It was a series of perfect strategies, plus Aiden leading from the front, that created this miracle."
"The only thing that doesn't make sense is Aiden's base four attributes. They're so high, they don't match a Level 20 Reclasser at all. Even a Legendary Rank genius couldn't reach that level."
"Of course, it's possible that Aiden has some powerful skill that can boost his stats in a short time."
Soon, people started digging up everything about Aiden.
A lot of netizens were angry online, cursing May and Kael, and feeling angry on Aiden's behalf.
Within just half a day, almost all the people in the Great Shaw Empire believed that Aiden was a true hero of the empire.
Especially after they found out that Aiden would soon go to the Sovereign City to receive the queen's reward, tickets to the Sovereign City sold out instantly.
A huge number of netizens wanted to go to the Sovereign City, just to see the hero who had created a miracle with his own hands!
Meanwhile, Aiden was in the hall of the Reclasser Association in The White City, ready to submit his Class Change mission.
Besides him, there was only one staff member named Tinna. The others, on the other hand, stood outside politely and waited without being asked.
Tinna was operating the equipment while occasionally glancing at Aiden from the corner of her eye.
"Alright, General, it's done."
Another badge appeared. Aiden reached out and took it. He thought for a moment, then turned and walked into the small room, planning to absorb the Epic Demon's Heart in order to increase his chances of a higher tier upgrade.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C55: Tier Upgrade, Special Mission
Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Tier Upgrade, Special Mission
[You used an Epic Demon's Heart. When completing Class Change, the chance of professional tier increase is boosted by 10%. Current chance: 10.5%.]
After eating one Epic Demon's Heart, the chance went up to 10.5%, which made Aiden frown a little.
But then he thought it was normal. After all, his Magic Apprentice class wasn't at Iron Rank anymore. It had already been upgraded to Platinum Rank.
He still had more than 1,900 Demon's Hearts left. That was plenty.
[You used an Epic Demon's Heart. When completing Class Change, the chance of professional tier increase is boosted by 10%. Current chance: 100%.]
Aiden took a deep breath and quickly absorbed the Profession badge.
The badge turned into a cool energy and flowed into his mind.
[You have completed the Class Change. You can continue to level up.]
[Professional tier upgrade has been triggered. Please choose a path.]
[Option One: Class Change into Starlight Rank Dark Mage, gain Starlight Rank skills and Shadow Burst.]
Aiden took a quick look and saw that it was two levels higher than the previous Dark Mage, reaching Starlight Rank.
But Aiden wasn't planning to go down the Dark Class path.
He kept reading.
[Option Two: Class Change into Starlight Rank Elemental Mage, gain Epic skill: Water Elemental Arrow.]
Elemental Mage?
That was actually a good choice. After all, he had already learned Metal Element Arrow. If he changed to Elemental Mage, he would only need Wood, Fire, and Earth Element Arrows to get the Legendary Rank skill, Elemental Arrow.
Option Two was definitely better than Option One, but it still wasn't completely satisfying for Aiden.
[Option Three: Keep current class, professional tier upgraded to Starlight Rank. Special skill Apprentice's Heart effect improved. Special mission triggered.]
Special mission?
Yes, when a Reclasser completes a Class Change, there is a chance to trigger a special mission. These missions are usually related to the class.
After finishing them, you usually get a good reward—either a strong skill or powerful equipment that fits the class.
But these missions are usually very hard and take a lot of time.
Aiden hesitated a little. The special skill Apprentice's Heart was very important to him.
After all, a Mythic Reclasser gets a lot of stat points every time they level up.
Aiden's current stats were already way above those of an Epic-level character, but he still wanted to get even stronger.
Plus, the 10,000x critical hit system made sure he never ran out of experience.
"Let's go. Maybe after finishing this special mission, I'll get some powerful skill."
Aiden directly chose the third option.
Soon, his Magic Apprentice tier was upgraded to Starlight Rank!
[Special Mission has been triggered]
[Mission Name: Bane of All Races 1]
[Mission Requirements: Kill 10 different race bosses, each no lower than Level 50.]
[Mission Deadline: Before Fifth Class]
[Mission Reward: Mythic Special Item]
Aiden's eyes suddenly widened. Mythic special item!
Even with the 10,000x critical hit system, he only had one Legendary Rank staff, and it wasn't even fully repaired yet.
"Bane of All Races ... does this special mission have more parts?"
"And the first mission gives a Mythic special item. What about the others? They must be even better."
A Mythic special item was already the top of what people knew. What could be more valuable than that?
The only problem was the deadline. It had to be done before Fifth Class.
And the bosses weren't easy to find. The Abyss had a lot of them, but the one in the empire was the domain of demons.
Aiden took a deep breath. He still had time. He had just finished Third Class.
This mission shouldn't be too hard for him.
Thinking about it, Aiden looked at his special skill, Apprentice's Heart.
[Apprentice's Heart: Special Skill. It upgrades as your professional tier increases. You can spend experience to randomly gain 0–20 points of stats, and 0–20 extra health. The more experience you spend, the higher the chance of getting high stats. Minimum cost: 100,000 experience.]
The minimum was the same, but the maximum was higher now. And it could also give extra health?
Aiden's eyes lit up with excitement. If he had enough experience and was lucky, he could use Apprentice's Heart to really boost his power.
Epic Reclassers, Mythic Reclassers... they would all be completely crushed by him!
Strength and Constitution were higher than those of Mythic warrior-type Reclassers, Agility was even better than an Assassin's, and Spirit crushed other magic classes. Was it too overpowered?
"Ah, too bad, there's no guarantee. It's all just luck."
Aiden let out a small sigh. He really wanted that item that could change luck, which was the reward for the College Testing top scorer—given by the Empress herself!
Right now, Aiden had over 57 million experience points. Four of them came from the two Abyss demon bosses. The rest were from killing regular demons during the war in The White City.
"Let me try with 7 million first. Let's see how lucky I am."
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart, spending 10 million experience. You gained 70 Strength, 70 Constitution, 100 Spirit, 130 Agility, and 500 extra health.]
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart, spending 10 million experience. You gained 50 Strength, 10 Constitution, 120 Spirit, 100 Agility, and 2,000 extra health.]
...
After spending 7 million, he only got a little boost in stats. His luck was really bad!
Aiden took a deep breath and decided to stop.
He looked at his total of the four stats and was shocked. It had already reached an unbelievable 7,000!
Four Stats (without equipment): Strength 1680, Constitution 2101, Spirit 3101, Agility 1033.
"Epic Reclasser, level 20, total stats are only around 2000. Legendary Rank ones are about 4000. I'm way beyond them."
If he added all the Epic gear, he would leave the Legendary Rank Reclassers far behind.
As for how much stats a Mythic Reclasser gets per level, Aiden didn't know.
That's because there was almost no information about Mythic Reclassers online in the Great Shaw Empire.
After all, every Mythic-class player was considered the future of the empire, and their information was usually kept secret.
[You have leveled up]
[Current Level: Level 21]
...
[You have leveled up]
[Current Level: Level 30]
A huge amount of experience instantly boosted Aiden's level to Level 30.
Other Reclassers had to spend a long time fighting and grinding to level up after finishing a Class Change.
But Aiden only needed to wait a few seconds, and his level would be maxed out.
He turned around, left the room, and was about to take the Fourth Class mission like last time.
But then he suddenly stopped.
Aiden remembered that in his last Class Change mission, they mentioned his level-up speed was too fast.
"No way, I need to wait a bit. Otherwise, the difficulty of the Class Change mission might go up even more!"
Plus, after the war in The White City, he needed some time to rest and train a little.
It would be good for him to relax and also lower the mission difficulty. Why not?
With that, Aiden walked straight out of the Reclasser Association.
But as soon as he stepped outside, he was surrounded by a crowd. Many survivors from The White City and social media influencers from other cities were taking photos and videos of him.
Aiden frowned. Someone shouted.
"General, when are you going to the Sovereign City? Are you coming back to The White City?"
Aiden replied: "It's not a war time anymore. I'm no longer the General of The White City."
"You will always be the General of The White City!" The survivors didn't care if there was golden text on his head or not.
"Mr. Aiden, can you tell us your real class? There are a lot of rumors online. Some say you're at least a Legendary Rank Reclasser." a blogger shouted.
Aiden said."My class is Magic Apprentice. Alright, I have things to do, so please move aside."
The survivors of The White City immediately stepped back, making a wide path for him. But the bloggers from other cities kept blocking the way.
Before Aiden could say anything, the survivors of The White City moved quickly on their own, blocking the bloggers.
"Move over! I still need to interview Aiden! I have a million followers!"
"Don't go yet, Mr. Aiden! Wait! I still have questions!"
"Wait up!"
The bloggers watched Aiden walk away and felt annoyed. They turned to the survivors of The White City and said.
"It's all because of you! I was trying to promote Aiden, making him..."
Their voices got quieter as the eyes of the survivors of The White City looked at them like knives, even carrying a faint sense of killing intent.
"Promote him? You're just trying to ride on Aiden's popularity. It's not too bad if you just do that, but you keep bothering him!"
"If you do this again, no one in The White City will welcome you!"
The blogger wasn't satisfied and shouted back."Aiden is no longer the general. I didn't do anything wrong!"
Suddenly, the mayor of The White City, Randy, walked out of the crowd and said coldly."Get out. You'll never understand how important Aiden is to The White City."
"When you fell into the Abyss, a light suddenly appeared to save everything. Then you'll understand — a general is just a title, but some people will always be in the hearts of the people of The White City."
"Get out of The White City. We don't welcome those who don't respect Aiden!"
The blogger was scared. Some survivors of The White City even surrounded him. He had no choice but to run away in embarrassment.
"You wait, I just got a message. Someone wants me to find a way to ruin Aiden's reputation. It's you who forced me to do this!"
