Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Shocking the Class Valedictorian! A Genius is Just the Entry Fee!

This holy sword is real good.

It’s only a Golden-Rank weapon, but its stats are way, way better than the Silver-Rank Flame Staff!

It gives 300 extra Strength.

Even more crazy? The damage gets boosted again, and the critical hit chance goes up by 7%!

“An ancient holy sword… once the weapon of a Demon God?” George swallowed hard, his heart pounding as he muttered to himself. “A Starlight Rank weapon?”

Weapon ranks start from Iron, then Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Starlight.

Above Starlight are almost all Sacred Items, super rare and valuable to any race.

Then come Epic, Legendary, Mythic.

“So… this holy sword was almost an Epic-grade weapon? It got damaged, then repaired and dropped down to Golden-Rank?” George’s eyes were shaking, his mind totally blown.

“It has the potential to go back to Starlight Rank. But the question is… how? Maybe I should ask Anna later.”

George gave a bitter laugh. He knew almost nothing about this stuff.

Anna, as the manager of the Class Change Guild, probably had a lot of knowledge.

He took a deep breath and said, “This haul is huge.”

He packed everything up, a small smile on his face.

At that moment, Lily and the others were completely stunned. Their mouths were all open, their jaws almost dropping to the floor.

What the hell is going on?

George looked like a regular student – young, fresh-faced, like a high schooler.

But the thing is? A high schooler who had two BOSS familiars?!!

Familiars are basically monsters that have made a pact with humans. They follow them and become companions to class changers.

But how could a Goblin King and an Elf Saint – two high-level BOSSes with huge potential – end up following a teenage high schooler?!!

Even more shocking? George didn’t show any fear in front of the Abyssal Boss. He just pulled out two high-level skills, and the boss was gone in a second?!!

What kind of genius is this?

Lily and the other students from Dreaming High were all shaking, their bodies going numb.

They stared at George in disbelief.

Lily took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, but her voice still trembled when she spoke.

“Y-you… hi, I’m Lily. I’m a student from Dreaming High. Th-thank you for saving us. A-are you also from Aurion City?”

As soon as she said it, she felt a little bitter. She wanted to dig a hole and crawl in.

She had always stayed calm during interviews and when big shots came to meet her.

But now? She was so nervous she was shaking, and it was embarrassing.

But it wasn’t her fault. Anyone who saw what just happened would be stunned.

BOSS Familiars are super rare in Aurion City.

Only the mayor, Emma, had one – a Fire Spirit BOSS familiar.

“And to get that Fire Spirit to follow him, the Mayor probably spent tons of time and resources!”

It’s said that Emma had to feed the Fire Spirit with all kinds of expensive materials every day. Otherwise, the Fire Spirit would break the contract!”

Now? This young guy, who looked even younger than Lily, had two BOSS familiars with huge potential?

And they were obeying him?!!

Lily was super curious.

Was he a student from Aurion City, or a top genius from another city? Or maybe a big young master from a top guild or family?!!

“Uh, Aurion High, George.”

George said it casually.

No point in hiding.

He didn’t like playing dumb. If he was strong, he was strong – no need to hide.

After hearing George’s words, Lily and the other students were all stunned, completely frozen.

What? From Aurion High?

A local guy?

“George? Oh? I remember, wasn’t he the world’s weakest pro, an S-rank animal keeper?”

In the group, the healer, who looked a bit cute with a strawberry hair clip in her hair, suddenly opened her mouth, her eyes filled with surprise as she blurted it out.

But before she could finish, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

“Sorry, I, I, I…”

The healer was almost on the verge of tears.

After all, he had just saved her life – how could she say something like that about the world’s weakest profession?

That wasn’t just betrayal – that was ingratitude!

Lily’s face turned serious. She turned around and glared at the healer.

“Vicky!”

Vicky looked really embarrassed. She swallowed hard, and bowed to George, saying, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I, I just didn’t think it through!”

“I’m wrong, master!”

“It wasn’t my intention!”

Vicky was about to cry.

And Lily took a deep breath and said, sincerely, “Sorry, master. Vicky didn’t mean it. She’s just a little slow, a total dumbass!”

She gave Vicky another glare.

George smiled slightly. “Yeah, it’s true. I am R-rank.”

George didn’t care about that.

His talent was SSS-rank. Even the strongest professions couldn’t compare!

And George’s power now was way beyond those so-called geniuses.

Lily was strong, right? She was made into a poster and put all over the city, becoming one of the representatives of Aurion High.

But now? She couldn’t even take one hit from the Infernal Demon Boss. She got knocked away in one second!

Even if Kent, the SSR-rank, came, he’d just be beaten by George.

“R-rank…”

“Two high-level BOSS familiars, and they obeyed him so wel.”

“High skill rank…”

“Such strong power!”

Lily took a deep breath, thinking it over, and felt a chill.

The next second, she shivered all over, her body trembling.

“Could he be from the Imperial City? A SSS-rank guild? Or maybe a child of the old masters?”

Her voice started to shake.

Only that made sense.

Otherwise, an S-rank profession user should only be a failure by all logic.

Not to mention being this strong – and having a BOSS Familiar?!

He was out in the woods at night, and survived – and saved them too.

George looked at Lily, who was shaking a little, her eyes full of shock and fear. He asked in a calm tone, “What’s wrong? Did you get hurt badly just now?”

Lily snapped out of it, quickly waving her hands. “N-no, nothing serious. Thanks, Mr. George.”

As Lily spoke, the other students from Dreaming High also bowed repeatedly to George.

“Thanks, master!”

“Mr. George, you’re so cool! If it wasn’t for you, we’d be ashes right now!”

“Master is awesome!”

Lily swallowed hard, trying to calm herself down. She looked at George with sincere eyes and said, “Mr. George, we came out here for training and to level up a bit. But we didn’t expect to run into this. We woke up a 20-level Abyss Boss. I think I’ll need two days to recover. Once I’m better, I’ll come visit you.”

“We just finished an A-rank dungeon. There should be some pretty good gear there. I’ll bring it over to see you.”

When George heard this, his eyes lit up a bit.

Lily wasn’t just a genius. Her background was also strong.

Her parents founded the Eternal Guild, which was the top guild in Aurion City. And she became a symbol of Aurion City in part because of that guild – it helped push her forward.

“An A-rank dungeon drop?” George narrowed his eyes, a little happy.

Right now, his stats were still low. If he could get another high-level gear, it would greatly improve both his combat and defense.

“Okay.”

George gave a calm smile.

Lily: “Can I add your contact? I’ll reach out to you later, Mr. George.”

George didn’t say much. He just nodded and added Lily as a friend.

Then he yawned a little. “I’m going back now. We’ll talk later.”
