Chapter 136: Chapter 136: SSS Tier Profession, Kent Exposed

Thorne really had forgotten about it.

Back then, he had planned to do the right thing, misunderstood George, and didn’t want to show up himself. So he had Liam recruit George instead. After that, he completely forgot about the acceptance letter.

Luckily, George had already made it into the Obsidian Academy, and no one really cared too much about it.

Thorne arrived at the school gate and saw the two of them waiting.

“Uh, you’re George and Lily, right? Here’s your acceptance letter,” he said awkwardly, quickly pulling out two letters from his bag and handing them over.

“Thanks,” Lily said, taking it and giving a quick thank you.

George looked at him, a little confused. “Have we met before?”

“No, no, you got the wrong guy,” Thorne quickly denied, then turned and ran off.

“Wait, I remember! You’re from Mirror Academy, right?” George suddenly realized. He had been trouble by this guy in Aurion City before – the guy had jumped in without knowing the situation and tried to attack him.

Thorne didn’t respond and just ran faster.

What a shameless guy!

At that moment, George finally figured it out. This guy was pretending to be from Mirror Academy, trying to make a bad impression on him.

Oh, and he was also Liam’s father – the deputy commander of the White Tiger Legion.

“George, do you know that guy?” Lily asked, curious.

“Met once before. Come on, let’s go in,” George didn’t explain much. After all, he was Liam’s father, and he had to give him some respect.

The guard stopped them again and carefully checked the acceptance letters. He looked surprised. “You two are really new students at the Obsidian Academy?”

“Does it look like I’m lying?” George was exasperated.

The guard thought for a moment, then muttered, “If Mr. Thorne himself came to deliver the letters, it must be real. Okay, you two go in quickly. The new student exam is about to start.”

George didn’t say much. He took the letter, grabbed Lily’s hand, and ran into the school.

It was their first time here. They asked a few people and found out that new students were gathering on the playground.

When George and Lily arrived, a lot of students had already gathered, standing in lines.

There was no class division yet, so they stood at the end of the line.

“George, you’re a bit late,” Liam suddenly appeared from the crowd, whispering.

Lily glared at him. “It’s all because of you. You didn’t give us the acceptance letters.”

“Uh? You didn’t get the letters?” Liam was surprised, then realized. “It’s my old man’s fault. So how did you get in?”

He knew that without an acceptance letter, new students couldn’t enter the academy.

“Some guy just delivered them,” Lily thought about the middle-aged man and felt a little grateful.

“That’s good,” Liam sighed in relief.

George frowned. “You and your dad are both unreliable.”

“Uh…” Liam had no words to say. He didn’t know how to respond.

George changed the subject, looking at the students who were walking up to the stage. He asked curiously, “We’re here for the new student exam, right? What’s this for?”

Liam explained, “It’s to check your identities. We don’t want anyone hiding information. It’s part of the new student exam.”

George nodded, not taking it too seriously. He asked again, “What else is in the exam?”

“The secret realm test,” Liam said. “It’s kind of like the college entrance exam. You kill monsters to get points, but this time it’s stricter. No teams, no fighting each other. There will be people watching to make sure you’re safe.”

“By the way,”

Liam thought of something else and continued, “this new student secret realm exam is organized by several top schools in the Sovereign City. The prize for first place is really big.”

“Is it not just for students from the Obsidian Academy?” George was surprised. He wasn’t really interested in the prize for first place.

Liam nodded. “That’s how it’s always been.”

George immediately thought of Kent.

He had already heard that Kent had joined Mirror Academy, and Mirror Academy was also one of the top schools in the Sovereign City. He wondered if the fact that the guy lost his Blazing Angel knight profession would be exposed, and if he would get kicked out.

The line moved slowly. A dozen students were being tested at the same time. Soon it was George and Lily’s turn.

“George, I’ll go first,” Lily said, taking a deep breath and running up to the platform. She followed the teacher’s instructions and placed her hand on the sensing crystal to test her profession.

Buzz…

Suddenly, the crystal shone bright. A loud dragon roar echoed through the air. A huge golden image of The Celestial Serpent appeared in the sky.

This strange scene caught everyone’s attention.

“SSS tier profession…” The teacher in charge couldn’t believe his eyes. He rubbed his eyes for a long time before calming down. He swallowed hard and announced, “Lily, level 40, profession: The Seraph of the Dragon.”

The crowd below was in shock. They couldn’t believe their eyes. They looked at the fading image of The Celestial Serpent with envy and respect.

“George, when did Lily become an SSS tier profession? I thought she was an SSR tier before,” Liam asked in surprise.

He had teamed up with Lily before and knew her profession.

“Maybe she had some lucky encounter,” George knew exactly what happened, but he didn’t say much.

Lily’s profession caused a big reaction. Even the college leaders showed up.

George now knew that SSS tier professions had a lot of privileges. In fact, they even had better treatment than the first place in the points exam.

But he wasn’t too jealous about it.

The test continued. Soon it was George’s turn.

SR tier Frost Keeper and SSR tier Martial Saint. A dual profession system, which was strong, but not much in the Obsidian Academy, where there were so many talents.

What really caused a stir was his level.

Level 50.

The higher the level, the harder it was to increase. Among the new students, less than ten were over level 40. Most were in 41 or 42. Only George had reached level 50.

By the afternoon, the new student profession information was all collected. The secret realm exam would start tomorrow.

An old man stood on the platform and explained the rules of the secret realm exam in detail.

Three days. Students couldn’t team up or fight each other. Just get 10 points and you would pass the exam. It wasn’t hard for new students.

The first place would get a Divine Crystal.

Divine Crystal? Related to gods?

George was confused. The other students looked just as puzzled.

“Seriously, they’re giving a Divine Crystal as a prize!” Liam exclaimed, shocked.

George was about to ask, when the old man on the stage explained, “Divine Crystal is a recent research result from the academy’s research department. It has many uses, including one that can raise your profession stage.”

“What? Raise your profession stage?”

After the old man said that, the students below were in a huge uproar.

Raising a profession stage was extremely hard. Not everyone could do it like George, who had completed a profession advancement task.

Even so, George’s current profession stage was only SR tier.

Lily’s stage had increased, thanks to the help of Golden Flame Dragon. Such an opportunity was rare and hard to find.

Students looked at the Divine Crystal with burning eyes, ready to fight for it.

At first, most of them just wanted to get 10 points and pass the exam, so they could get into the academy. No need to push too hard.

That included George.

But when the Divine Crystal was announced as the prize, all the students went crazy.

“Quiet!”

The old man’s low voice cut through the noise. He said seriously, “Remember, no teaming up, no fighting among students in the secret realm exam.”

This was to protect the students.

Everyone looked at each other. Some had wanted to team up, but now they had to give it up.

The old man continued, “You can go back now. Come to the school playground at 8 a.m. tomorrow. Don’t be late.”

The students ran off, still excitedly talking about the reward.

“George, I think the Divine Crystal was given to you on purpose,” Liam said bitterly.

George was speechless. “How do you know I’ll get first place?”

“Come on, do you really think any of these new students can beat you?” Liam sighed. “Honestly, your strength is a whole different level from ours.”

“Yeah, it’s like a level difference,” Lily added.

George smiled but said nothing.

He didn’t think he was unbeatable. And this exam was for new students from the top schools in the Sovereign City. There might be hidden talents no one knew about.

…

The night was deep.

In the Temple Guild square of the Sovereign City, a single figure knelt alone.

That man was Kent.

Today, when Mirror Academy checked student info, his secret of losing the Blazing Angel knight profession was exposed. He was kicked out without mercy.

Now, the Temple Guild was also going to throw him out.

The classmates who used to flatter him around him were all gone.

In just one day, he felt like he had fallen from heaven to hell. He was mocked and laughed at by everyone.

Kent wasn’t ready to give up. If he was kicked out of the academy, and then the guild, his whole life would be over.

Maybe he could live as an ordinary person, but that wasn’t what he wanted.

“Maybe, there really is no chance left,” Kent said, his throat dry, his voice hoarse. He had been kneeling in the hall all day. His body and mind were numb.

Just as he was about to give up, the heavy door of the hall slowly opened.

Kent’s eyes lit up. He stared at the door.

The door opened slightly, but no one came out.

“Kent, you don’t want to leave?” A deep, raspy voice echoed in his ear.

Kent was shocked. He knew who that voice belonged to – the Temple Guild leader, Anderson.

“Master, please let me stay. I still have an S tier profession. Whatever you want me to do, I will do it.”

Kent grabbed the last straw of hope, kneeling deeply on the ground.
