EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C72: The Shock of the Miko Sisters, the Oath, and the Secret
Chapter 72: Chapter 72: The Shock of the Miko Sisters, the Oath, and the Secret
The next moment, Aiden directly pulled out an Epic Demon's Heart from his storage space.
It was pretty big — one hand couldn't even hold it all.
He first dropped the Epic Demon's Heart on the ground, then kept throwing more Epic Demon's Hearts in front of the two Miko sisters, who were completely shocked.
"1, 2, 3... 99, 100, 101. Oh, there's one extra. Never mind, take them all."
Aiden finally finished counting 100 Epic Demon's Hearts. When he looked up, he saw the two Miko sisters acting like puppets.
Their faces were frozen, their eyes wide open, mouths hanging open, completely shocked and lost in their minds.
After a while, Rainn finally reached out and slapped her face hard.
"Did you have some kind of illusion skill?" She looked at the Epic Demon's Hearts on the ground, thinking everything was too unreal.
Even a human genius couldn't have so many Epic Demon's Hearts!
This completely broke her understanding of the world.
She turned to look at her sister, and saw Cheryl had been keeping her mouth open too long, and a little drool was coming out of her mouth.
Seeing this, Rainn wasn't surprised at all. Her facial muscles were already frozen.
"How about it? One hundred Epic Demon's Hearts for your oath — I've been pretty sincere." Aiden said calmly.
This was a very good deal, especially considering Rainn and Cheryl were Miko.
The worst case was that these two Miko might have an accident and die along the way.
But even then, he would only lose 100 Epic Demon's Hearts.
For others, that would be a huge loss. But for Aiden, 100 Epic Demon's Hearts were nothing.
After all, once he got stronger, he could hunt Legendary Rank Demons and get at least 1,000 Legendary Rank Demon's Hearts.
That was real wealth.
Even more, if he had more time, Mythic Rank Demon's Hearts wouldn't even be worth thinking about.
Rainn and Cheryl trembled as they slowly walked toward the ground, reaching out to touch the Demon's Hearts. Only when they actually felt them did they realize it was all real.
Then they asked Aiden for his name.
"Okay, I swear by the High Miko. Once I become an Origin Miko and finish my revenge, I will agree to any request you make. If I break this oath, I will lose my soul completely and be punished by the High Miko..."
Rainn and Cheryl didn't hesitate. They made the oath right in front of Aiden.
After they finished, a strange wave suddenly appeared.
[You have received the highest oath of the Miko. If they break it, you will gain their souls.]
When Aiden saw this message, he immediately felt relieved.
He had a feeling that Rainn and Cheryl, these two Miko, would bring him a lot of surprises in the future.
"Okay, now tell us about the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon." Aiden said. He waited a bit, but got no reply.
Cheryl and Rainn were acting like crazy hoarders, carefully counting every single Demon's Heart on the ground. They completely ignored everything else.
Seeing this, Aiden couldn't understand. It was just Epic Demon's Hearts. Was it really that big of a deal?
After a while, until they had picked up every single Demon's Heart on the ground, they slowly started to calm down.
Rainn gave a simple explanation: the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon was a very special being among the Abyss Dragon clan.
According to legends, if the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon could reach its full power, it could even swallow powerful gods.
According to the secret knowledge passed down by her ancestors, there was only one Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg that had fallen outside the Dragon clan's territory.
But with time passing, without any other Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragons to protect it, the egg had gradually entered a dying state.
To save it, it needed a huge amount of energy, provided by various materials, to slowly recover.
"Even if it successfully hatched, it would be hard to raise it to its full power." Rainn said. "Because the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon needs to keep eating all kinds of materials to grow."
"Ordinary Abyss races don't have the resources to raise a Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon."
"I was going to say..." Rainn stopped halfway, suddenly realizing something was wrong.
Someone who had so many Epic Demon's Hearts didn't need to rely on a Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon to improve their rank.
"Ordinary Abyss races?" Aiden frowned.
Rainn nodded. "I'm not sure, but the secret knowledge from our ancestors mentioned that races like Demon, Skeleton, and Wraith are considered ordinary Abyss races."
"Miko are a bit different. They were once from the King-ranked Abyss race, but now they are considered ordinary."
"Common, King, Emperor, and Imperial — these are the four ranks within the Abyss races."
When Aiden heard this, his eyes widened. The Abyss races had such a ranking system? Why had he never heard of it before?
Rainn said that most of the Abyss creatures didn't know this information. It was one of the secrets of the Abyss.
Aiden took a deep breath. For humans, a powerful Demon was already a big threat.
But Demon was just an ordinary Abyss race!
Then, how powerful must the Imperial-ranked Abyss races be?
But according to Rainn's information, the higher the rank of the Abyss race, the later it would awaken. That at least made Aiden feel a little relieved.
He wondered if the Empress Eira of the Great Shaw Empire, or James and others, knew about this information.
But even if they did, they would never make it public. It would cause too much panic.
An invisible pressure grew in Aiden's heart.
He looked down at the dragon egg in his hand and thought. With his 10,000x Critical Hit system, he had the ability to hatch and raise this egg to its full power.
That shouldn't be too hard.
After all, the higher the boss he killed, the higher the rank, the more powerful the critical hits would be.
With enough time, a Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon that could swallow powerful gods would appear before everyone!
So far, Aiden had finished his Class Change quest, killed one Abyss Demon Boss and one Abyss Slaughter Witch.
The special quest "Bane of All Races" was also a fifth done. He still needed to kill eight more bosses from different races.
But this quest had to be completed before he reached Fifth Class. He needed to find more bosses.
He couldn't miss out on any Mythic rare items.
Also, this quest had more parts. If he failed, he wouldn't be able to continue with the next steps.
Aiden counted the rewards he had gotten from entering the Abyss this time. It was way more than he had expected.
First, he upgraded his equipment, got a new skill book, a Mythic dragon egg, and invested in the Miko sisters.
He was very satisfied and planned to leave the Abyss and return to the Sovereign City right away.
But just then, Rainn's lips started to bleed again, and she looked very weak.
Her sister Cheryl quickly helped her up and wanted to find a hidden place to treat her wounds.
Aiden thought for a moment. He had already invested 100 Epic Demon's Hearts in the Miko sisters, so he should at least try to protect them. Otherwise, if something bad happened, it would be a shame.
When Aiden found a suitable cave, Cheryl immediately carried Rainn inside.
"Sister, your condition is really bad. I'll go check if there are any suitable prey nearby. I'll collect some soul essence for you."
Before leaving, Cheryl looked at Aiden and said."You take care of my sister. I'll be back soon!"
Aiden rubbed his nose. Was he really leaving Rainn alone with him?
But then Aiden suddenly remembered—he had collected a lot of soul essence when he killed the Slaughter Witch.
Maybe Cheryl was looking for that.
However, Aiden didn't just hand over the soul essence. He and the Miko sisters were just in a deal.
After Cheryl left, Rainn turned her eyes toward Aiden.
Her expression was full of hesitation, and after a moment, she finally said."Aiden, when the Slaughter Witch died, did you get her soul essence?"
Aiden nodded. Now that he had the Winner's Hand, he always put everything the enemy dropped directly into his storage space right after killing them.
Rainn was probably asking for soul essence to heal.
But Aiden had to make it clear that he wasn't going to just give everything away. He had invested in Rainn, but that didn't mean she could keep taking from him.
He said coldly."I stayed here to protect you until we reached this cave. That's already a kind act."
Rainn was a smart Miko, and she could guess some of what was on Aiden's mind at that moment.
But this was the territory of the Slaughter Witch, and it was unlikely there were other creatures that could provide soul essence.
Cheryl going out would probably be a waste of time.
Rainn needed to recover quickly, just in case something went wrong. After all, both she and her sister had a total of 100 Epic Demon's Hearts on them.
So Rainn bit her lip, lowered her head, and slowly closed her eyes, speaking quietly:
"Let's make another deal. I don't have anything valuable to offer you right now."
"But humans usually like beautiful things."
"I can..."
She stopped halfway, clenched her teeth, reached out, and pulled open her black cloak. Then she pulled down her collar, revealing her smooth shoulder.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C73: Leaving the Abyss, Unexpected News, A Familiar Face
Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Leaving the Abyss, Unexpected News, A Familiar Face
Rainn slightly raised her eyes and took a quick look at Aiden. She noticed that Aiden didn't have any special expression on his face.
She took a deep breath and continued to pull at her clothes.
Aiden didn't realize what was happening at first. He hadn't even thought that Rainn would do something like this.
By the time he understood what was going on, it was already too late.
Rainn's black cloak had been completely removed, and part of the clothes underneath had also been loosened. The remaining clothes could only barely cover her important parts.
Her full and upright breasts were tightly held by the clothes, showing a strange kind of beauty. Especially the obvious bumps, which were very attractive.
The feeling of being half-hidden increased her temptation greatly.
Her white and smooth skin turned slightly pink from embarrassment, and it was very noticeable.
Seeing that Rainn was still going to keep going, Aiden's mind was full of hesitation.
He had originally wanted to make Rainn realize her lower position, to avoid her from constantly asking for things in the future.
But now, things seemed to have taken a different turn.
At that moment, Cheryl's footsteps came from outside the cave. She shouted."By the way, that Slaughter Witch should have soul essence. Sister..."
She stopped halfway and walked into the cave, looking suspiciously at Aiden and Rainn inside.
Rainn's face was red, and she was tightly holding the edge of her black cloak.
Aiden looked a little nervous, as if something had just happened.
The whole cave was filled with a kind of atmosphere that Cheryl couldn't understand.
"What's wrong? Are you okay, sister?" Cheryl thought that Rainn's condition had gotten worse.
She immediately got worried and looked at Aiden, begging."Aiden, can you..."
Before she could finish, Aiden quickly took out a dozen soul essences from the Slaughter Witch and threw them to Cheryl.
He took a deep breath and said."Here, take it and help your sister heal. It's a bit stuffy here, I'll go out for a bit and protect you from outside."
Aiden quickly stood up and left the cave.
Cheryl looked at Aiden in confusion but didn't think too much about it. She took the soul essences and began to heal Rainn.
"Sister, this human named Aiden is really kind."
Rainn stayed silent. She looked in the direction Aiden had left, and a strange feeling of loss filled her heart.
"Did I not have any charm? Maybe he thought what I just did was... a bit shameful." Rainn couldn't help but think that.
She watched Cheryl carefully healing her, and flashes of memories of her family being killed filled her mind. Her hands, gripping the black cloak, tightened even more.
Fate was like this, and there was nothing she could do about it.
To take revenge, to protect her sister, she was willing to give up everything.
But before this, she had never been in such an embarrassing situation.
In a way, Aiden was the first person to see her like this.
"Also, the last one. With these 100 Epic Demon's Hearts and soul essences, I won't have to do this again, except for his request..." Rainn thought to herself.
About an hour later, her wounds had healed almost completely.
So many soul essences from the Slaughter Witch were enough to heal her several times!
Rainn came out of the cave first and found Aiden, who had nothing to do.
She took out the remaining soul essences and, under Cheryl's reluctant eyes, handed them to Aiden.
"Keep it. Maybe you'll need it later." Aiden said, now back to his calm self.
He wasn't a kind person, nor a bad one. He was just an ordinary person.
Rainn looked at him with a complicated expression, nodded, and said seriously."Thank you."
She took out a seashell-shaped item and gave it to Aiden, telling him that if he ever entered the Abyss again, he could use it to contact her.
As long as it wasn't too far, she could respond quickly.
Aiden took the item and looked at it.
[The Abyss Message Conch: Platinum Rank. Consumes a small amount of magic power to communicate with the holder of the matching conch. Communication range is 2000 km. If the distance is too far, the other person can't reach you.]
Everything was almost done. It was time to leave the Abyss and return to the Sovereign City.
After all, he still had to finish the Class Change mission, deal with the Evil Demons Guild's assassination, and prepare for the College Testing.
Aiden waved to the Miko sisters and was about to leave. But before he did, he glanced back at Rainn and said:
"Revenge is important, but it's not everything. I believe you'll become the Origin Miko."
Rainn was a little shocked. She watched Aiden's figure disappear and whispered."Yeah, I will."
...
In the most luxurious hotel in the Sovereign City.
Aiden appeared slowly. He quickly let out a breath and fell onto the sofa in the room.
"Miko's charm is really much stronger than that of normal human beauties."
"I hope Rainn and Cheryl can have some say among the Miko in the future."
Aiden rested for a while. The trip to the Abyss was quite tiring.
He washed his face and felt much more alert.
Aiden knew clearly what was truly important in this world—power! Without enough power, people like Elyra would keep coming.
And when someone had enough power, status, and wealth, everyone around them would be very kind and respectful to him.
That was the conclusion Aiden had drawn from the events on Awakening Day.
He left the hotel and went to the Sovereign City Reclasser Association to submit his Class Change mission.
As soon as he entered the lobby of the Reclasser Association, Aiden felt that many Reclassers were staring at him.
One person whispered."Did you know? Edward, who had a grudge with Aiden, was found dead in his house."
"Really? Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. The suicide looked very suspicious. He died just when his mother's case wasn't over."
"Yeah, normally he wouldn't have killed himself."
"There's more. Someone did some research, and through the surveillance cameras at Edward's place, they saw a blurry figure."
"An online blogger compared the figure and found that it looked a lot like Aiden!"
"Wow, is this real? Aiden wouldn't do something like that, right?"
"Who knows? After all, Edward is dead, and no one will trouble him anymore."
"I don't know if Aiden will respond. At least he should show an alibi. Otherwise, everyone will think he's involved in this."
As Aiden listened to the people around him talking, he frowned a little, then opened his phone and searched online carefully.
He saw the reports about the discussion among the Reclassers.
There really was a blurry surveillance video that had spread online. The figure seen near Edward's house was almost the same size as Aiden.
Aiden's eyes flickered. At that time, he had already entered the Abyss.
This whole thing was just someone trying to turn public opinion completely against him.
But it was just public opinion.
What Aiden cared about was, if the person behind the scenes had gone this far, then the Evil Demons Guild would probably attack him soon.
Aiden walked to the Reclasser association staff with a blank face. To his surprise, the person was Tinna from the White City Reclasser Association.
Tinna smiled and looked at Aiden with admiration, saying excitedly:
"Mr. Aiden, it's been a while."
Aiden was a bit surprised.
Tinna explained that because of the events in the White City, she had taken part in the resistance, and the Reclasser Association had noticed her. Plus, with the coordination of Lucien, she had been promoted from the White City Reclasser Association to the Sovereign City Reclasser Association.
Also, the mayor of the White City, Randy, and Lucien had both been promoted.
However, instead of going to a bigger city, they had voluntarily asked to be sent to a border city full of Abyss cracks.
"President and Mayor Lord, they should be leaving in a couple of days. They said if Mr. Aiden joins the military, there might be a chance to meet on the empire's border. They even want to fight by your side again." Tinna said with a happy smile.
This wasn't just Lucien and Mayor Randy's idea. It was also what most of the surviving Reclassers in The White City wanted.
Many people had lost their family or friends during the Abyss Demon invasion. They hated the demons deeply and had joined the army, hoping to take revenge.
But those people hadn't left The White City yet. Everyone was waiting as long as they could for Aiden to return.
After hearing all that, Aiden let out a soft breath. Suddenly, he felt like he had gained some people's admiration on his shoulders.
It felt heavy, but also solid.
"Relax. I'll be back to The White City soon." Aiden said seriously.
Just as he was about to submit his Class Change mission, a bunch of shouts suddenly came from the other Reclassers.
"Look! Isn't that Victor, the genius and future star of the empire?"
"It's not just Victor. There's also Logan. I heard he spent a lot of money these days, using his father's power to get a Starlight Rank pet!"
"Wow, a Starlight Rank pet! That's way more valuable than gear of the same rank!"
"Of course it is. Pets are a Reclasser's battle partner. Their help is much better than just an item."
"Man, if I had a Starlight Rank pet, I'd give up ten years of my life for it!"
"Daydreaming, huh?"
As Logan entered the Reclasser Association, he spotted Aiden right away. A smile spread across his face.
"Hey, Aiden. I heard you're already level 30. Are you here to take the Class Change mission for helping an old lady cross the street?"

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C74: Meeting Logan and Victor Again, Submitting the Class Change Mission
Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Meeting Logan and Victor Again, Submitting the Class Change Mission
Logan took two steps toward Aiden and smiled, continuing to speak.
"The Magic Apprentice class is so easy for a Class Change mission. It's as simple as it can get."
"Ah, I'm an Epic Light Knight, and my Third Class mission was to kill 10 Demons of the same level in the Abyss!"
"I really envy you. You finished your Class Change mission so easily. When I did my Third Class mission, it was really hard. I ran into a lot of danger."
After saying that, Logan smiled and waited a bit. Of course, the other Reclassers around him were shocked and started talking.
"What? Third Class missions already require you to go into the Abyss?"
"Is this the difficulty of High-tier Class Change missions? Killing ten Demons of the same level? That's really hard."
"Right, Demons are strong. But Logan has already finished his Third Class mission. He also got a Starlight Rank pet. His score in the College Testing will definitely be high!"
"Right, I think there's no need to compare. Aiden is definitely going to lose!"
"Didn't they say College Testing limits equipment?"
"Are you stupid? A pet is a battle partner, not equipment. A High-tier pet can still help raise your score."
"Oh no, I thought Aiden had a chance."
"Are you crazy? A Magic Apprentice, in a test that limits equipment, how can he compete with an Epic Light Knight? Does he have a High-tier pet too?"
Logan smiled happily, enjoying the attention and comments from the others.
As a genius from the royal family, he should be admired by everyone!
This time, he came to see Lysander, the apprentice of Sean, the strongest Artificer in the Sovereign City.
He didn't have the chance to flatter Sean, not even his father could get along well with him.
Logan could only try to meet Lysander, hoping to make a good impression.
Victor, who was next to him, looked at Aiden and said slowly: "Class Change missions are usually not hard. But your Magic Apprentice tier is different from his Magic Apprentice. If the mission is hard, I can help you."
"I thought about it carefully, your job choice really only allowed that kind of strategy. It's not your fault."
Aiden had no intention of talking to Logan and Victor at first. But after hearing this, he slowly turned around and looked at Victor.
He said coldly."I never made a mistake. Stop acting like you're better than me."
"Did the war simulation not make you realize the problem?"
"You weren't there during the Abyss Demon invasion. And now, after everything is over, you say if you were there, things would have been different. That's really annoying."
Victor's face turned red. He thought he was just being polite and even admitted Aiden's strategy was right.
But he didn't expect Aiden to be so rude!
He frowned and replied."Okay, I didn't say anything. During the College Testing, it will show that I was right."
Victor walked to the front desk and asked."Hello, I'm here to take my Third Class mission."
He had reached level 20, and he needed to complete a Class Change mission to keep leveling up.
The higher the tier, the more experience it takes to level up. So their level-up speed is not fast.
Of course, the higher the tier, the more stats you get per level — something lower-tier jobs can't even imagine.
Tinna looked at Victor with a cold expression and said."Can't you see Mr. Aiden hasn't finished yet? You just cut in line. Do you even have any basic manners?"
She had just heard that this so-called genius had spoken to Mr. Aiden like that in front of everyone.
Tinna would never let him get away with that!
Victor was surprised and turned to look at Aiden, saying."Sorry, I thought you were done already."
Then he walked over to another staff member near Tinna.
A short while later, after he had completed his Class Change mission, Logan asked curiously."So, how hard was it? What was the mission about?"
Victor answered."The mission was to enter the Abyss and kill a boss that's level 30 or higher."
Logan immediately took a deep breath and said:
"Wow, it's a boss over level 30. No wonder you're a Mythic Reclasser. You're only level 20 now, but you have to fight a boss way above your level!"
The other Reclassers started talking among themselves. The difficulty of this mission was really high. Bosses were much different from regular monsters. They had higher intelligence and stronger skills.
Also, bosses were usually surrounded by strong monsters and regular ones.
Logan looked at Aiden and said in a sarcastic way."This is what a real genius Reclasser's mission should be like."
Aiden gave Logan a cold look and then turned his attention to Victor.
Victor's Class Change mission was similar to what he had done when he was Third Class, but his task was harder. He had to kill a noble Demon boss.
Aiden was a little confused. Was it because he leveled up too fast that his mission was so difficult?
This time, he needed to finish the "Bane of All Races" mission first before doing the Fifth Class task. That would help test it out.
Aiden said to Tinna."I'm here to submit my Class Change mission and get my badge."
Tinna was a little surprised and widened her eyes. She had handled Mr. Aiden's Class Change mission just a few days ago.
How could he already be done again?
Tinna looked at Victor with a sneer, then started working quickly.
She looked directly at Victor and said loudly."Mr. Aiden, you have completed the Fourth Class mission. You killed two bosses of different races in the Abyss at level 50. Here is your Profession badge."
Right away, the surrounding Reclassers fell silent, their eyes wide, unsure if they had heard correctly.
Victor couldn't help but slightly turn his head and look at Tinna. He was starting to doubt if she had made a mistake, maybe said the boss level too high!
And the Logan who had just been sarcastic now had a stiff face as he spoke:
"How is this possible? Aiden came here to take the Fourth Class mission, but you're saying he's already finished?"
"No, no, what did you say? His Fourth Class mission was to kill two different race bosses in the Abyss? No, no, they had to be level 50 bosses?"
Logan finally realized what he had just heard. His eyes opened wide like big bells.
A level 50 Abyss boss!
But Aiden was only level 30!
That was a full 20 level difference!
And it wasn't just about why Aiden, a Magic Apprentice, had such a tough Class Change mission. What mattered more was that he had already finished it!
Looking at the shocked faces of the other Reclassers, Tinna felt a little proud. She had already seen how special Mr. Aiden was.
She said unconsciously."Mr. Aiden's missions are always like this. His first Class Change mission was to enter the Abyss and kill a level 10 boss."
"His second Class Change mission was even harder — killing a level 30 Abyss Demon noble boss."
She said this not for any other reason, but just to make it clear to Victor.
This Mythic Reclasser had just dared to talk down to Mr. Aiden. Now he finally knew that Mr. Aiden's Class Change missions were even harder than his!
Aiden looked at Victor's face, full of doubt and disbelief, and said calmly to Tinna:
"Fine, these missions weren't as hard as you said."
Tinna nodded quickly. "Yeah, every time you take a mission, you finish it in just a few days. For you, it really isn't hard."
Victor took a deep breath and said to Aiden."It's just a Class Change mission. Although I don't know how you killed those bosses, it must have had something to do with Epic-level gear."
"Early on, when your level was low, Epic gear could really help you show your power. But what about later? Could you even get Legendary Rank or Mythic gear?"
"Aiden, the Class Change mission is meant to train you, not..."
Aiden interrupted Victor impatiently.
What was wrong with this guy? He always liked to lecture others, thinking he knew everything.
"What's so special about Legendary gear or Mythic gear? Are you so sure I can't get them?"
"You can't, but I can. So why can't I use them?"
If it weren't for the rule against fighting in the city, Aiden would have already shown Victor what real gear supremacy looked like.
"Hmph, big talk. I bet you can't even get a Starlight Rank pet." Logan finally said.
He had begged his father for a long time just to get a Starlight Rank pet.
Mainly, from what he knew, Aiden didn't have any pets. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to tease him with a pet.
Aiden gave Logan a cold look. Starlight Rank pet?
That was nothing. How could he even show it off?
His own Mythic Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon, once it fully grew, could even devour gods.
Seeing Logan so proud, Aiden just felt like laughing. It was like a beggar showing off ten yuan in front of a billionaire.
He wondered, what would Logan say once he hatched his Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon?
Aiden didn't want to waste time here. He had to go use the Epic Demon's Heart to upgrade his profession tier.
He didn't know what special changes this time's Apprentice's Heart would bring.
Previously, it had increased his four main stats, and then later added extra health.
Aiden was still pretty excited about what the Apprentice's Heart would change.
He turned around and was just about to leave the Reclasser Association when he heard Lysander's voice coming from the elevator door.
"Mr. Aiden! Ha ha, I just arrived in the Sovereign City today, and I didn't expect to meet you here!"
"My teacher was talking about it yesterday. He wanted to ask when you'd have time — he wants to tell you about the progress on that Legendary staff repair."

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C75: Logan's Departure, Professional Tier Upgraded
Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Logan's Departure, Professional Tier Upgraded
In the hall of the Sovereign City Reclasser Association.
Everyone had just been shocked by Aiden's Class Change mission difficulty. They had barely accepted everything as real when they heard Lysander's words, and their minds immediately blanked out.
"Wait, am I still in bed this morning? Is this all a dream?"
"How is this possible? A Legendary Rank staff?!"
"Who is this guy? Who's his teacher?"
"He's Lysander, the Red Flame Artisan. His teacher is Sean, the strongest Artificer in the Empire, Sean!"
"Sean? Oh my god, it looks like Aiden is really about to get a Legendary Rank staff."
"He's unstoppable. Just now, Victor was saying that it's impossible for Aiden to get a Legendary Rank item, but now it's actually happening. That's a big slap in the face!"
"Right, if someone told me that Aiden had something Mythic on him, I wouldn't be surprised at all. I'm already too shocked."
Victor heard all the murmurs around him, and his face turned dark. He hadn't expected that his casual comment to warn Aiden would end up like this.
In the end, Aiden was about to get a Legendary Rank equipment.
He kept taking deep breaths, trying hard to calm his mind.
"Is it just a Legendary Rank item? No big deal. My job is Mythic!"
Victor kept telling himself in his mind. His job was Mythic, and once he reached a higher level, even if Aiden had a Legendary Rank item, he would only be able to look up to him.
He was right!
And the College Testing limited equipment. Aiden wouldn't be able to get a higher score than him in the College Testing!
Victor took a deep breath and silently looked at Aiden's back for a few moments. Finally, without saying a word, he turned and left the Reclasser Association. He had to go as fast as possible to finish his Class Change mission!
Before Aiden appeared, Victor had never felt any pressure.
Although he always thought that Aiden, just a Magic Apprentice, was only able to become an imperial hero because of his powerful equipment, he also had to admit that those items were beyond even his genius.
When he came, people were shocked. When he left, no one noticed.
Even Logan didn't notice Victor's departure, because his full attention was on Lysander.
"Why is Lysander acting so humble toward Aiden?"
"That can't be right."
"He's Sean's student. How could he be so humble in front of Aiden, a Magic Apprentice? I must be wrong."
Logan spent a while adjusting his mood before walking over to Lysander with a stiff smile.
"Mr. Lysander, hello. I'm Logan from the royal family. I've heard of your name for a long time, but I've never had the chance to meet you..."
Logan had barely started speaking when Lysander frowned, feeling slightly uncomfortable.
He was talking with Mr. Aiden, and this man named Logan hadn't even noticed?
Rude guy.
Lysander apologized to Aiden with a slight bow, then turned his attention to Logan and said coldly.
"Is there something you need?"
"Your time is very valuable."
Hearing this, Logan's expression completely froze.
He took a deep breath and explained."Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. I've recently gotten some rare Diamond Rank materials, and I wanted to ask you to help forge a suitable item."
Lysander thought for a moment, then asked."How many pieces?"
Logan's eyes lit up immediately and he said quickly."A total of seven!"
Lysander gave Logan a strange look and waved his hand, saying in a cold tone."Go find another Artificer. With only seven pieces, I don't even want to look at them."
Logan was stunned. Seven pieces of Diamond Rank materials weren't enough?
He had spent a lot of money to get that Starlight Rank pet, and now he didn't have much money left.
"Alright, stop bothering me. I have important things to talk about with Mr. Aiden." When Lysander looked at Aiden, he was unusually respectful and full of gratitude.
Without the materials Aiden provided, he wouldn't have had a chance to return to the Sovereign City.
Plus, Aiden's broken Legendary Rank staff had given a big inspiration to his teacher, Sean.
It wouldn't take long before Sean could make Epic-ranked equipment more steadily, and the chance to try making a Legendary Rank item would also go up!
Making a complete Legendary Rank item was much harder than fixing a broken one.
If only he could get more chances like this.
Thinking about this, Lysander's respect for Aiden grew even more.
He said."My teacher said, as long as you have time, you can come and see him anytime."
When Logan heard this, his eyes widened.
Even the Empress Eira of the Great Shaw Empire had to wait until Sean was free to see him.
As for his father, he had to make an appointment months in advance!
Aiden could see Sean anytime he wanted?
Logan's eyes flickered. Why didn't he have a broken Legendary Rank item?
Damn it!
As Logan was feeling extremely unfair inside, he suddenly heard Aiden say in a calm voice:
"Okay, when I have time, I'll go see your teacher."
Logan's eyes widened. That was Sean!
If it was anyone else, they would have jumped at the chance right now and asked Sean to help make a suitable item.
But Aiden? He acted like it didn't even matter, showing no respect at all to Sean!
Logan immediately spoke up, pointing his finger and saying."Aiden, you're being really rude. Sean's time is very valuable."
Before he even finished speaking, Lysander gave Logan a cold look and said."What does that have to do with you?"
Logan instantly closed his mouth, not knowing what to say. He felt the joy and excitement of getting his Starlight Rank pet had completely disappeared.
Now he felt extremely unfair.
Why could a Magic Apprentice like Aiden be more popular than him, a genius from the royal family, an Epic Light Knight?
"Wait and see, Aiden. College Testing is coming up soon. Your score will tell everyone that you're not good enough!"
Logan said angrily before leaving.
Aiden looked at Logan's back for a moment. College Testing?
The top student in the country, he was determined to win.
Even a Mythic Reclasser would be crushed by him.
Aiden talked with Lysander for a while longer and found out that the Legendary Rank array would take less than ten days to fix.
Aiden was quite satisfied with that. The Iron Dragon's Magic Staff was still strong as an Epic item.
But with a Legendary Rank staff, the Iron Dragon's Magic Staff could be replaced.
Then he could have John from the Hawthorne family's trading company sell it. He wondered how many people would fight to buy it.
After saying goodbye to Lysander, Aiden went straight back to the hotel.
His Class Change mission was done. It was time to use the Epic Demon's Heart to upgrade his professional tier.
He ate an Epic Demon's Heart and waited for a little while.
[You used an Epic Demon's Heart. When completing a Class Change, the chance of upgrading your professional tier increases by 3%. Current chance: 4%.]
"Only 3%?" Aiden frowned.
As his Magic Apprentice professional tier got higher, the effect of the Epic Demon's Heart became weaker.
But it wasn't a big problem. He still had more than 1,800 Epic Demon's Hearts left. That was more than enough.
He ate over 30 Epic Demon's Hearts in one go.
[You used an Epic Demon's Heart. When completing a Class Change, the chance of upgrading your professional tier increases by 3%. Current chance: 100%.]
Aiden took out his Profession badge and chose to absorb it.
The badge instantly turned into a cool energy and rushed 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 to Epic the Abyss Mage, gain Legendary Rank skill: Darkness Infiltration.]
Epic the Abyss Mage, Legendary Rank skill?
Aiden was a little surprised. He had a feeling that the more he learned about dark skills, the more tempting the dark path became when he triggered a professional tier upgrade.
Now, he was only choosing an Epic the Abyss Mage, but it came with a Legendary Rank skill.
Even Aiden, who had a 10,000x critical hit chance, didn't have a Legendary Rank skill yet.
But he still hesitated. He thought for a moment and didn't make a choice right away.
He kept reading down.
[Option Two: Class Change to Epic Elemental Mage, gain Epic skills: Water Elemental Arrow, Wood Elemental Arrow.]
[Option Three: Class Change to Epic Spellblade, gain Epic skill: Master of Weapons.]
[Option Four: Keep current profession, professional tier upgrades to Epic, special skill Apprentice's Heart effect improves.]
Aiden quickly read through all the Class Change options. His eyes stayed on the third one for a long time.
Spellblade, a job that combines magic and combat power. If he chose this, he could act as a front-line tank and still deal damage.
"Ugh, but I already have a Mythic tier Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon. Once it hatches, it will be a strong ally."
"Better to upgrade the Apprentice's Heart effect. After all, only this special skill can work perfectly with the 10,000x critical hit system."
Aiden still chose to stay a Magic Apprentice.
After a little wait, his special skill, Apprentice's Heart, finished the upgrade and changed.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C76: The Change of Apprentice's Heart, Starting to Hatch the Dragon Egg
Chapter 76: Chapter 76: The Change of Apprentice's Heart, Starting to Hatch the Dragon Egg
[Apprentice's Heart: Special Skill. It can be upgraded as your professional tier increases. You can spend experience points to randomly gain 0-30 points in attributes, and 0-30 extra health. The more experience you spend, the higher the chance of getting high attribute points. Minimum cost is 1,000,000 experience points.
Also, spending 10 million experience points at once has a very small chance to trigger a hidden attribute boost. Currently, it can increase charm.]
Hidden attribute?
Aiden looked at the changes to Apprentice's Heart and suddenly felt a bit nervous.
You see, hidden attributes don't show up on your screen, and they're almost impossible to change.
For example, the most important hidden attribute—luck—except for some very special items, equipment, or skills, a person's luck is basically fixed from the moment they're born.
"Charisma... well, it's not too bad. Although it doesn't help much in battle, it can affect how you get along with others, or during negotiations."
Aiden thought for a moment. The College Testing was coming up soon, and soon after that, he would have to return from The Sovereign City to The White City.
At that time, the people from the Evil Demons Guild would definitely try to kill him.
Before returning to The White City, he needed to push his strength to the limit as much as possible.
So this time, Aiden decided to use all the experience points he had saved up.
As for leveling up, it wasn't too urgent. After all, he still had the special quest Bane of All Races to finish.
He didn't want to miss out on a Mythic rare item.
He'd start with 10 million experience points to see what kind of luck he had now.
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart, spent 10 million experience points, and received 20 points in Strength, 80 points in Constitution, 30 points in Spirit, 150 points in Agility, and 700 extra health points.]
20 points in Strength? 80 in Constitution? 30 in Spirit?
"Uh... that's 10 million experience points, and I only got that much?"
Aiden held back the urge to curse. Except for Agility, which had improved a little, the rest of the stats were barely worth mentioning.
The other attributes were almost the same as before.
His luck really was not good.
"Hey, it's okay. Once I become the national College Testing top scorer, and get that special item that changes luck—Twin Coin—I can finally get out of this situation."
Aiden took a deep breath. Whether for better growth or to make Logan, Victor, and others see the truth, he needed to become the national College Testing top scorer!
Again, this time he directly used 100 million experience points. He just didn't believe he couldn't trigger the hidden attribute increase!
[You used the special skill Apprentice's Heart, spent 100 million experience points, and received 300 points in Strength, 400 points in Constitution, 600 points in Spirit, 300 points in Agility, and 3,200 extra health points.]
[Hidden attribute increase triggered, you gained 5 points in charm.]
Aiden saw the result and sighed in relief.
His luck wasn't great, but he had way too much experience.
With so much experience, even a small chance could trigger something!
Keep going. Spend all of your experience points!
...
A few minutes later, Aiden was lying on his bed, eyes empty, questioning his whole life.
"Did I really get cursed by the goddess of luck?"
Before, in The White City, Aiden had collected over 570 million experience points. He used 70 million, and even though his luck wasn't great, his total four attributes had reached over 7,000.
This time, when he entered the Abyss, he killed two bosses and a bunch of normal monsters, getting over 700 million experience points.
Combined, he had a total of 1.2 billion experience points.
1.2 billion experience points!
Aiden's total four attributes had now reached a terrifying 20,000!
That was an increase of over 12,000 points!
But to him, it was completely unacceptable.
When he used Apprentice's Heart, he once spent 100 million experience points, and Spirit didn't even go up at all!
That moment made Aiden lose his cool.
"Sure thing, gambling is just a way to fall into the Abyss forever. Now, all my experience points are gone."
"I won't use Apprentice's Heart again until I get an item that can improve my luck." Aiden said, taking a deep breath.
At least, his total four attributes had gone up to 20,000, and his hidden attribute—charm—had increased by 10 points in total.
Besides the first time, which gave 5 points, every other time he triggered a hidden attribute increase, it was only 1 point.
Aiden walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He couldn't see any big changes.
He shook his head. Maybe the charm attribute only worked on others.
Next, he needed to figure out how to hatch the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon.
Logan had just a Starlight Rank pet and acted so proud. If Aiden could hatch a Mythic-level Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon, what would that be like?
He didn't know if he could finish hatching it before the College Testing.
As for what Rainn said about needing a huge amount of resources, Aiden wasn't worried at all.
He had the 10,000x critical hit system, after all!
He had collected a lot of high-level materials from killing Earth Demon, Slaughter Witch, Spider Demon, and the Flame Demon Oslu. The materials were almost too much to carry.
For others, the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon was impossible to raise.
But for Aiden, making the dragon strong enough to devour gods was just a matter of time!
Aiden took out the dragon egg. First, he pulled out some Diamond Rank materials that had dropped from the Earth Demon.
As soon as those materials got close to the egg, it started to vibrate.
Aiden could feel the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg becoming more active, as if it was eager to eat the materials.
He slowly placed the Diamond Rank materials on the surface of the dragon egg.
An unbelievable scene happened. The materials were turning into ashes before Aiden's eyes, at a speed he could actually see.
In the blink of an eye, all the energy from the materials Aiden had taken out was completely gone.
Then, Aiden checked the information of the Sky-Devouring Radiant Dragon.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Near Death
Hatching Progress: 0%]
"No change? It looks like this amount of material is too little." Aiden said.
Without hesitation, he took out all the materials that had dropped from the Earth Demon and all the materials from the Slaughter Witch.
Of course, he kept the Slaughter Witch's essence in his storage space. It had healing effects.
But the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg seemed to sense all the high-level materials. It suddenly became very quiet.
Aiden gently reached out and tapped the surface of the egg.
"Did I scare it?"
"Come on, this is nothing. Eat up, I still have a lot of Epic-grade materials. That should be enough for you."
The Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg slightly shook, and then started to devour everything wildly.
As the materials in the room turned into ashes one by one, a small, fat paw appeared inside the egg and gave a slight shake.
...
All the materials from the Earth Demon and the Slaughter Witch were completely used up.
And the information on the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg also changed.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Weak
Hatching Progress: 1%]
[Status: Weak
Hatching Progress: 0%]
Aiden's eye twitched. Was it really just going from near death to weak?
He had killed the Earth Demon and the Slaughter Witch, and both times he got a 1000x critical hit. The amount of materials dropped was so much that it would take someone killing 1000 Earth Demons and 1000 Slaughter Witches to get the same!
"You really can eat a lot. But that's a good thing. The more you eat, the stronger you get!"
"No problem, I can afford you!"
Aiden said, a little sad as he spoke. He took a deep breath and pulled out the materials he had gotten from killing the Flame Demon Oslu.
The dragon egg, which had recovered a bit, rolled over excitedly and came to Aiden's feet, gently touching his leg.
Aiden was surprised. Was the egg this smart?
Could it really move on its own just by going from near death to weak?
Only one word could describe it: "Mythic."
He quickly threw the Epic-grade Demon materials into the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg.
The egg kept shaking as it devoured the energy from the materials, looking very excited.
Before all the materials from the Flame Demon Oslu were used up, the egg suddenly stopped, then touched Aiden's leg again.
After that, it stayed still, not moving at all.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
tier: Mythic
Status: Healthy (digesting)
Hatching Progress: 1%]
Aiden looked at the information and couldn't help but laugh a little. It was just full, after all.
"I just wonder if the materials I have on me are enough to fully hatch you." Aiden said, rubbing his nose.
The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg's appetite was a little more than he had expected.
But at least the hatching progress had gone from 0% to 1%, which was a good sign.
If not, he could just go back into the Abyss again and kill a few more Abyss Demons.
He put away the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg, which was still digesting, and left the hotel room. It was time to find Luke and start moving.
As soon as he arrived at the Sovereign City Reclasser Association, he met Vespera and Vivi in the first-floor lobby.
Aiden was about to say hello when he saw Vespera and Vivi staring at him without blinking.
Their red lips were slightly open, as if they were looking at something extremely special and beautiful.
Aiden looked around, but there was nothing unusual.
"What's going on? Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked, taking a step closer to Vespera and Vivi.
Vespera felt her heart beat faster. Her blood rushed quickly, making her face slightly red.
It had only been one day since they last saw each other, but why was Aiden so hard to control now!

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C77: A Change in Charm, Leaving, and an Assassination
Chapter 77: Chapter 77: A Change in Charm, Leaving, and an Assassination
"No, nothing... it's just that, you seem a little different today." Vespera said, blushing and looking down as she spoke slowly.
Each word she said made her heart beat faster, making her body feel warm.
Aiden hadn't changed at all, but she still couldn't take her eyes off him.
It was like he had a kind of charm that couldn't be described.
She had felt this before, but it wasn't as obvious as today.
Vespera wanted to change the subject. She turned her head and looked at Vivi.
Vivi was staring at Aiden, her mouth slightly open, and a small drop of liquid had appeared on her lips.
"Is that drooling?" Vespera widened her eyes.
Vivi realized something was wrong and quietly raised her hand to cover her mouth, then acted like nothing had happened.
"Aiden, how are you? I heard you've finished the Fourth Class mission. That was fast!" Vivi changed the subject without showing any emotion.
She and Vespera had come to the Reclasser Association Hall to take on a Third Class mission.
Both of them were Legendary Rank professionals, and they had recently reached level 20.
Aiden nodded and said."Yes, you two go ahead. I still have something to do."
"When are you leaving the Sovereign City?" Vespera suddenly asked.
For some reason, just thinking about Aiden leaving the Sovereign City made her feel empty inside.
Even though she knew Aiden's ability was strong enough to enter the top university in the Sovereign City, or the military department there, and he would probably come back soon.
This was the first time Vespera had ever felt this way, and she didn't know how to describe it.
"Probably tomorrow or the day after. I have to go back early, there are a lot of people waiting for me in The White City." Aiden said slowly.
He had a short chat with Vespera and Vivi, then took the elevator up to the thirty-third floor where Luke was.
After Aiden left, Vespera stared straight at Vivi.
Vivi's face turned unnatural, and she felt very guilty. "What are you looking at? Aiden is already gone."
Vespera argued."You just drooled a minute ago. How can you still talk about me?"
"Well, I couldn't help it. Why is Aiden so different today?" Vivi explained.
Vespera nodded, remembering her own fast heartbeat. "Yeah, it felt like Aiden was completely showing off his charm now."
Vivi quietly watched Vespera. In The Sovereign City, besides the one who had a Mythic job like Victor, almost no one was as elegant or as beautiful as Vespera.
She looked down at her chest and sighed silently.
She also wanted to have the body of a succubus, but it just wasn't possible.
...
The next morning, Aiden left The Sovereign City quietly and started his journey back to The White City.
When he arrived in The Sovereign City, he had used Luke's flying pet, the Giant Dark Raven.
But when he went back, he couldn't do that anymore.
Luckily, there was a train from The Sovereign City to a city near The White City. Then Aiden could fly back to The White City using the Iron Dragon's wings.
Soon, Aiden entered the last carriage of the train.
The whole carriage was empty, except for him and two or three other passengers.
Aiden wasn't surprised at all. It seemed like he had expected this.
In fact, the other passengers in this carriage couldn't take the train for various reasons.
The train was speeding along the ground, and Aiden leaned by the window, quietly watching the scenery outside.
At that moment, someone came from another carriage and slowly walked to the connection area between the carriages.
He glanced in Aiden's direction, then went into the bathroom at the connection, and whispered into a communicator."Target confirmed. We can start the operation."
The train arrived at a station and slowly stopped.
Then, several people who looked very ordinary came in, carrying a lot of luggage and tickets. They looked for seats and finally sat down naturally near Aiden.
Aiden remained calm and continued looking out the window.
Luke had already planned everything. Aiden just needed to act as bait.
Soon, the train left the station and entered the wilderness.
An old woman, probably in her sixties or seventies, started breathing heavily. The young man next to her worriedly called out.
"Grandma, where's your medicine?"
"Oh right, water. I forgot to bring water."
The young man looked around and finally his eyes landed on Aiden. He looked desperate and said to Aiden.
"Hey, my grandma is having an attack. Can you come and help?"
Aiden said coldly."Having an attack? Let her die then. What does that have to do with me?"
The young man was shocked. He hadn't expected Aiden to say that. Even the old woman, who was having a hard time breathing, stopped for a moment.
Was this the hero of the empire?
How could he say such a cruel thing?
At that moment, there was a soft noise from the top of the train.
Then the young man sighed and said to Aiden.
"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the hero of the empire to ignore someone in need."
"Originally, we were planning to take you away in a gentler way. Now it seems we have to be rougher."
"I advise you not to resist, Demon Duke Ethan. He specifically said that you must be brought back intact, so he can torture you properly."
The young man stood up. At the same time, the white-haired old woman next to him gently pulled her neck, revealing the face of a young woman.
Then, a bright light suddenly appeared from the top of the train. The carriage Aiden was in quickly separated from the others.
The bottom of the carriage shook violently, scraping against the tracks, making a loud, sharp sound, and sparks kept flying out.
All of this happened within just a few breaths.
And Aiden remained calm, silently watching the people around him.
"What the hell? Are you scared into silence?" The young man frowned and said. A bad feeling suddenly came into his heart.
A person with a long sword jumped into the carriage from the broken part, shouting loudly."Don't just stand there! We don't have much time. Take the target first, then kill all the witnesses!"
"Something's wrong. His reaction isn't normal!" The young man said, looking at Aiden as if he was facing a real threat.
Aiden looked at him calmly and said."Ethan? That guy actually sent you to catch me?"
"Some people want me dead. Some want to take me to the Abyss and torture me. I have to say, it's surprising how many people are after me."
The mention of Ethan's name was a bit of a surprise to Aiden.
The Reclassee with the sword looked at Aiden for a moment and shouted to his partner.
"Don't waste words. He's just pretending to be calm!"
"He's not an ordinary Magic Apprentice. The organization has already marked him as a top target. Hurry up, or the Enforcers will arrive soon!"
The young man and the woman who had pretended to be an old woman looked at each other. They thought his partner was right.
Their plan couldn't have been discovered by Aiden!
As the enemies got closer, Aiden slightly raised his head and shouted."Well, it looks like there's no big fish on the hook."
He had expected some powerful level 80 Reclassee, but instead, it was just a bunch of small-time goons.
Aiden looked at the three people inside the carriage. The highest level among them was only level 65.
Was the person behind it really thinking that level 65 Reclassee could kill him for sure?
"He's just bluffing! Hurry..."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Red chains shot out and instantly pierced through the whole carriage. The powerful Strength made the sliding carriage stop immediately.
Boom!
Luke came crashing down from the sky, landing perfectly on the roof and falling right in front of Aiden.
"It seems you were underestimated." Luke said, turning around and smiling at Aiden.
The red chains moved like lightning, quickly binding the three members of the Evil Demons Guild.
They looked at Luke's figure and widened their eyes.
"Damn it, it's the Tyrant!"
"Shit, why is Tyrant Luke here?"
"We're done. This was a trap!"
Their faces turned pale, their bodies trembling, and fear filled their expressions.
Tyrant Luke, the executioner of The Sovereign City, a monster even worse than a Demon. Anyone who fell into his hands would suffer unimaginable pain before dying in misery.
The young man's eyes flashed with determination. His facial muscles tensed, and he tried to bite down on the poison hidden in his teeth.
But before he could even start, a red chain shot through his mouth, breaking his teeth and filling it completely.
"Committing suicide in front of me? You really don't know me well." A smile appeared on Luke's face.
That smile, combined with the long knife scar running across his whole face, looked extremely terrifying, like a ghost from hell.
But just at that moment, the three members of the Evil Demons Guild suddenly rolled their eyes up, and their whole eyes were completely white.
Luke suddenly changed expression and turned to look far away.
"Soul-Curse Priest! It's that guy! Aiden, don't go out of one meter from me!" Luke shouted, his face now very serious.
Something was wrong!
No response!
A strong sense of unease appeared in Luke's heart. He turned around suddenly and saw, to his shock, that Aiden's eyes were exactly the same as the three Evil Demons Guild members!
Damn it, he was careless!
The real people sent by the Evil Demons Guild weren't these three useless guys. It was the Soul-Curse Priest, Charles!

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C78: Strange Skill, Return to The White City, a Child's Expectation
Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Strange Skill, Return to The White City, a Child's Expectation
The situation was too urgent to think too much. Luke immediately activated Despot's Realm!
Red light spread out from him, quickly surrounding the area.
A red chain wrapped around Aiden's waist and pulled him behind Luke.
He grabbed Aiden's shoulders tightly, ready to save him, when he saw Aiden's eyes slowly returning to normal.
"Are you okay?" Luke looked at him as if he had seen a ghost.
Aiden shook his head and then nodded.
He had just felt a strange energy in his mind, as if someone invisible was touching his soul.
But when he realized something was wrong and tried to resist, that strange energy disappeared instantly.
Aiden looked at the system log.
[You were hit by the skill The Cursed Hand of the Soul-Curse Priest]
[Skill in effect, your Spirit attribute decreased by 1000]
[Skill in effect, your Spirit attribute decreased by 1000]
[Skill in effect, your Spirit attribute decreased by 1000]
...
[Your Spirit attribute decreased by 6000 total. The Cursed Hand skill failed. Spirit restored.]
Aiden stared at the log and his eyes widened.
What kind of skill was that? It could lower his Spirit by 6000 points!
If his total four attributes didn't reach 20000, and his Spirit wasn't as high as 8000, that skill would have worked.
No, he also had many Epic items equipped!
What was strange was that Aiden didn't feel anything at all before being attacked.
As Aiden was thinking, Luke finally asked."How high is your Spirit attribute?"
Aiden answered."Just 8000."
What?
8000?
What do you mean "just 8000"?
Luke tightened his grip on Aiden's shoulder.
He couldn't help it. Level 30, 8000 Spirit? That was already enough, wasn't it?
Since Aiden learned the Epic Black Tortoise Shielding Technique, he could no longer check Aiden's information.
He didn't expect this guy's Spirit attribute to be as high as 8000!
That's 8000 points!
"What's going on?" Aiden finally asked, this strange attack method was unheard of and really terrifying.
It was like killing someone without them even knowing.
No fancy skill effects, no strange sounds, just a direct hit.
Luke took a deep breath and quickly said."It's a Legendary Rank class, Soul-Curse Priest, Charles, level 79."
"He was a genius Reclasser who betrayed the empire."
"This guy isn't strong in direct combat, but once he successfully casts his skill, he becomes very dangerous."
"The Cursed Hand skill can instantly kill anyone below level 50. It reduces the target's Spirit attribute by 200 times their level. Once it's all gone, the target will be killed by The Cursed Hand in their soul, and turn into a vegetable."
After hearing this, Aiden took a sharp breath.
Reduce Spirit by 200 times the target's level?
That's crazy!
"This skill is too crazy. I didn't even feel it before it hit me." Aiden said in surprise.
Luke nodded and explained that the conditions to cast The Cursed Hand were very hard. It required the user to give up part of their soul. If it failed, it would cause serious consequences.
"Charles won't come alone. He's very careful. If he feels any danger, he'll run away without hesitation." Luke sighed.
Thankfully, Aiden wasn't hurt.
"Sorry, I was careless. I didn't expect the Evil Demons Guild to send him." Luke looked seriously at Aiden.
Aiden waved his hand, feeling a bit scared. But who could have imagined that someone so strange, a Soul-Curse Priest, would come just to kill him.
It had to be said, a Reclasser who betrayed the empire was a rare and special genius.
Aiden looked at the three members of the Evil Demons Guild inside the broken carriage. Their eyes were dull, and they didn't react to anything around them.
"Something's wrong. These three should all be above level 50." Aiden said, confused.
Luke shook his head and said."They're not like you. These people are probably Charles's followers. Their souls were already controlled by him."
"Too bad, this mission didn't get any live prisoners."
Luke clenched his fist. Today's mistake was his. Charles was too hard to predict. Many of the empire's talents had died at his hands.
"By the way, no one ever said why Charles betrayed the empire and joined the Evil Demons Guild. Was it just because he learned dark skills?" Aiden asked curiously.
Luke stayed silent.
After a while, he finally said slowly.
"Something you'll find out later. It wasn't all Charles's fault to betray the empire."
"Aiden, the Abyss is the real enemy of humans. I hope you remember that."
"If you ever face something you can't accept, just tell me. I will..."
Luke paused for a moment, and a wild look of killing intent flashed in his eyes before he continued.
"I will clean them all up."
That made Aiden's curiosity blow up completely.
Who were they?
Why was Luke saying this?
But no matter how much Aiden asked, Luke never continued.
The assassination by the Evil Demons Guild was, for now, settled.
For the time being, they probably won't act again.
And the person behind the scenes, who planned everything through online rumors, should also go into hiding after hearing about the failed attack.
After all, the national College Testing is coming up soon. At that time, the defense strength in every region will reach its highest.
Aiden felt a bit disappointed. It was true that he hadn't found more clues.
But as long as he kept appearing in the Sovereign City, he would definitely draw the attention of the person behind the scenes. And when they acted again, he would have a much better chance to find their weakness.
No matter who they were, once Aiden found out their real identity, he would not hesitate at all. He would use every way possible to kill anyone who wanted him dead!
He had to kill the enemy!
...
Above the White City, in the sky.
Aiden looked at the small city that was becoming clearer, and suddenly felt a bit more relaxed.
He turned to Luke beside him and said."That's enough. You can drop me here."
Luke shook his head. "I'll stay until your College Testing is over, and then I'll leave."
"I can have someone else handle the Reclasser Association stuff."
It was obvious that Luke still felt bad about what had happened earlier.
Even with him around, Aiden still faced a death threat.
More importantly, Luke had talked to Aiden later and found out his four attributes totaled a terrifying 20,000. His Spirit attribute was even as high as 8,000!
And that was without any equipment bonuses!
He had already been shocked the first time he saw Aiden's four attributes. Just how long had it been, and he had already reached 20,000!
A genius like this needed to be protected at all costs.
Luke said directly that under normal circumstances, he wouldn't show up. He only stepped in when there was real danger.
Besides, once the College Testing was over, when Aiden went to the Sovereign City for the final test, it would be a good chance to bring him back to the Sovereign City at the same time.
With Luke protecting him, it would be much safer.
Aiden didn't resist too much and nodded in agreement.
He opened his Iron Dragon wings and left the Giant Dark Raven, quickly flying toward The White City.
When Aiden arrived at the entrance of The White City, the people who were busy walking suddenly widened their eyes, stood there in shock for a moment, then shouted.
"Look! It's General Aiden!"
"General Aiden is back!"
"Quick! Go tell the mayor Lord and Lucien!"
Aiden slowly landed on the ground. As the people in The White City kept calling him "General." he couldn't help but correct them.
"I was only appointed as a general during the war by the princess. Now that the situation in The White City has returned to normal, I'm no longer the general of The White City."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people shouted back.
"You will always be the general of The White City!"
"Yes, no matter when, as long as we're alive, you are our general!"
"General, the people from the Sovereign City are really terrible. They said you would eventually fall into darkness and betray the empire. I argued with them for days!"
"Yes, yes, that Edward's mother should be dead! During the emergency war, she disobeyed the orders!"
"Deserved to die!"
"General, I think the Sovereign City isn't good at all. Why don't you stay in The White City from now on?"
"Ugh, are you crazy? If the general goes to the Sovereign City, he might enter the military. I signed up for the army, maybe I'll have a chance to fight under him again!"
"That makes sense. I want to join the army too! Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
As he said that, the atmosphere around them slowly became heavy.
Many people thought about their lost family members and friends. The sadness and anger in their hearts quickly overwhelmed everything.
A boy, maybe seven or eight years old, took a deep breath with his grandfather's encouragement and walked up to Aiden.
His right arm was missing, and one of his eyes was completely black — he had been injured in the war.
"General, Grandpa said I could become like you one day. Is that true?"
"If I could be like you, I could avenge my parents and my little sister."
"General, can I really become a strong Reclasser like you?" The boy asked again, unable to stop himself. His remaining left hand tightly grabbed his clothes, full of nervousness, but also great hope.

EVERYONE'S CLASS: ONE EFFORT, 10,000X BONUS REWARD!C79: Aiden's Gift, Lucien and Randy's Emotion
Chapter 79: Chapter 79: Aiden's Gift, Lucien and Randy's Emotion
Aiden took a deep breath. He wanted to reach out with his hand, but it stopped halfway in the air.
"Yes, I believe in you. You will make it."
Aiden walked over to the old man and whispered in his ear."There should be some medicine in the hospital that can help regrow a missing arm. I can..."
He didn't finish his sentence. The old man, with white hair, shook his head firmly and said.
"Thank you, General. Our neighbors have raised a lot of money for me. It's enough for the treatment."
"Your money should be spent on yourself. That way, you can get stronger and kill more demons in the future."
"Everyone is talking about the bet you made in the Sovereign City. That 10 billion, we don't want it at all."
Aiden didn't know what to say. There were many victims in The White City. For the people who survived, sharing the 10 billion would be enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
This was something Aiden could do. He hadn't expected that the people of The White City not only believed in him, but also started talking about refusing this wealth.
A strange feeling appeared in Aiden's heart.
He looked at the eyes around him—full of respect, gratitude, and care. He took a deep breath and said firmly.
"I said it already, I can't change my words. You don't want people to say I'm not trustworthy, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people of The White City immediately widened their eyes and said angrily."Who dares?"
"The people from the Sovereign City will soon find out that the general is nothing like what they said online!"
"Right! Anyone who slanders or insults you is making enemies with all of us in The White City!"
The crowd was very excited.
If someone from the Sovereign City said bad things about Aiden and came to The White City, they would definitely get beaten up.
Luke, high in the sky, watched everything quietly. He reached out and gently touched the head of the Giant Dark Raven, and said in a low voice.
"I was right. This guy is not only like me, but also more suitable as a leader and a Spirit symbol than I imagined."
"The empire still puts too much value on those geniuses. They don't know that, against the Abyss, humans need a leader who can win the trust of everyone, make them stop fighting each other, and unite against a common enemy."
"It won't take long before Aiden makes those people see the truth."
Luke's eyes were full of determination. No matter what others said about him, or how afraid they were of him, it couldn't change his dream.
Humans should not fight each other anymore. The Abyss was the real enemy.
...
In the house of Mayor Randy in The White City.
Aiden sat in the main seat, with Randy and Lucien sitting on his left and right.
"You're back. Now we can finally start our journey." Randy said with a smile.
After the Abyss Demon invasion, he thought a lot and decided to take a job in an imperial border city.
It wasn't just for a better future, but also for the people of The White City who had died.
As a mayor, watching so many people die right in front of him, that feeling of helplessness was something he never wanted to go through again.
Lucien was similar. He was originally from The White City and had deep feelings for it.
"This parting, I don't know how long it will be before we meet again, General. You won't forget about me and Lucien, will you?" Randy said with a smile on his face.
Aiden shook his head. He hadn't had a strong impression of Randy before, because not long ago, Randy was just a new Reclasser who had just awakened his Iron Rank Magic Apprentice ability.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. Maybe I will go to the military department for some training one day." Aiden said.
Lucien nodded and sighed."The border areas of the empire have been very unstable lately. There have been several small-scale demon invasions near places with Abyss cracks."
"I don't know why, but this kind of invasion has happened a lot more often than before. It's been years since we saw this."
Randy nodded and started telling Aiden a lot about the situation in the imperial border areas.
Many people in the military believed that the war with the Abyss Demons was about to start. But the empire's ministers still refused to increase military spending or send large armies to the border.
Aiden remembered the first time he met the imperial ministers. He had to say, those guys looked very cowardly.
Especially the first minister of the Sovereign City, Felix, was especially annoying to Aiden.
But the news that the Abyss Demons were about to attack wasn't good for Aiden at all.
After all, he needed time to grow quickly and become a truly strong Reclasser.
The Soul-Curse Priest he met today had left a lot of pressure in Aiden's heart.
This wasn't a fair game. He could meet enemies far stronger than him at any time.
Shadow Stealth could help him avoid enemies or run away quickly, but Aiden also needed some items that could remove negative effects or control enemies.
The Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg also needs time to grow. There are many things to do, and everything has to be done slowly.
He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and pulled out an Epic Demon's Heart. He handed it to Lucien and said.
"This was something I promised you before. It can be a gift for saying goodbye."
"For the next few days, I won't leave the hotel. You should focus on preparing for the College Testing."
Lucien suddenly took a deep breath. His hands trembled as he reached out, but then pulled them back. He looked hesitant and said.
"General, that time, Edward's mother was supposed to be someone I killed."
"It was your task. I hesitated, which led to many people in the Sovereign City insulting and spreading bad things about you online."
"This Epic Demon's Heart... I don't deserve it."
After saying that, Lucien felt a weight lifted off his shoulders. He had been thinking about this for a long time, but had never had the chance to tell Aiden.
Aiden looked at Lucien with some surprise, then smiled.
"Take it. You're going to be the head of the Reclasser Association in the border city. You need some strength. Otherwise, if something dangerous happens, it would be a problem."
"Besides, I have a lot of Demon's Hearts like this."
Lucien didn't hesitate anymore. The border city was dangerous, and only by strengthening himself could he be ready to kill those demons.
He bit his lip and took the Epic Demon's Heart from Aiden's hand. Then he said.
"Don't worry, I won't let you down again!"
Mayor Randy watched Lucien with a look of envy. He wasn't in The White City when Aiden showed his different side.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed such a great chance!
As Randy was full of envy, Aiden also pulled out an Epic Demon's Heart and threw it to him.
Randy instinctively caught the Demon's Heart, and his face was full of shock.
"You're not getting this. It's for the hope of revenge for The White City." Aiden said calmly.
Randy tightly held the Epic Demon's Heart in his hand and nodded strongly. He said.
"Yes! The hope for revenge. I won't let you down!"
"Unless I'm dead, I won't leave the border city!"
Aiden stood up, walked to the door, waved at Randy and Lucien, and left one last message.
"Revenge isn't everything, but it is the source that keeps many people alive. I believe in you."
After that, he left the place directly.
Randy and Lucien were left alone. They looked at each other, then silently looked down at the Demon's Heart in their hands.
Lucien spoke up."A true warrior would die for someone who truly understands him. The general's kindness is something I can never repay."
"Right. He just gave us an Epic Demon's Heart. Just because he believes we won't let him down?" Randy muttered to himself.
At that moment, both of their hearts became extremely determined.
Aiden was a person from The White City. Naturally, they couldn't let the name of The White City be ruined in any way!
Even if it meant dying, they would die on the path of revenge against the Demons!
...
In the biggest hotel in The White City.
Aiden forced the hotel owner to take the money for the room.
He found out that sometimes, being treated too warmly by too many people wasn't a good thing.
The pretty female staff at the front desk had just been making very obvious hints that he could ask for anything he wanted at night.
Aiden shook his head. She was just an ordinary pretty girl. Compared to the Miko sisters, she seemed very ordinary.
He entered the hotel room, pulled the curtains, and locked the doors and windows.
Then, Aiden took out the dragon egg.
A quick look.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
Tier: Mythic
Status: Strong
Hatching Progress: 5%]
It had been almost a full day, and the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Egg had fully absorbed the energy it had eaten before.
The hatching progress was now at 5%.
That was a good sign. Aiden thought maybe he could hatch the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon before the College Testing started.
Then, when he became the top scorer in the national College Testing, he could let the dragon show up.
Aiden continued to feed the Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was the day before the College Testing.
Aiden hadn't left the hotel for these few days, because the dragon's hatching progress had been steadily increasing.
But Aiden also asked Luke to help look around The White City for any level 50 bosses.
[Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg
Tier: Mythic
Status: Strong (digesting)
Hatching Progress: 90%]
"It's almost ready. Even if it doesn't hatch tomorrow, it should be done before the final test."
Aiden sighed in relief. This little creature had taken a lot of his materials.
Besides the Epic Demon's Heart and the Soul Essence of a Slaughter Witch, almost all of Aiden's other materials were used up.
But good news—this Mythic Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon Egg was about to fully hatch!
At that moment, Aiden's phone vibrated. He looked at it and saw a message from Luke.
"Found it."
