Chapter 63: The last month
They had been informed that it would begin in the first week of the coming month which was only a few days away. Also, the training would only be held once every three days and rewards would be given after every session.
In the lobby, groups of young men and women gathered together and chatted. These were the trainees who were conversing with their teammates and getting to know each other\'s talents better.
At a corner, five people could be seen sitting under a tree, with each of them having either a nervous look or an ecstatic look on their faces; these were the people on Ivan\'s team, and they were all placed below 500th on the ranking.
They were excited about being on the same team with the number one place on the ranking and, at the same time, nervous because they were on the same team with the number one place on the ranking!
After finding out which team they were in, they had immediately tried to gather themselves just like everyone else; but who would go look for Ivan? None of them dared to go look for him, what if he got angry that they were disturbing him?
"Ahh, this is so frustrating. Why didn\'t they just put us in a team with normal trainees instead" a lady in the group pulled at her hair in frustration.
"Don\'t say that, being in that same group with Ivan will increase our chances of winning," another girl replied to her with a nervous smile.
"Sigh, even though that is true, who would want to be on the same team with someone who doesn\'t even think of others?" A boy voiced out from the side.
"I don\'t mind, as long as we win; I can just stay at the side like a background character. You know, most main characters are like that" Another girl said casually while showing a carefree expression.
The group had two boys and three girls, adding Ivan would make it three boys but he was not here currently.
Since each team was to have two support-type talents and four combat-type talents, they had found out after chatting for a while that the girl who had said she didn\'t mind getting carried just now and the boy who had yet to speak were the ones with the support-type talent.
The girl, whose name was Camellia and she was a beauty with a slender figure and long golden hair, possessed the Nature welder talent and could control plants.
The other support in the group was the boy whose name was Mari, he had an ordinary appearance and black hair. The only thing that stood out about him was the black scar on the side of his face that looked like a birthmark. Mari possessed the beast companion support type talent, and his summon was a sharp-eyed wind parrot.
While this type of talent was useless in a one-on-one fight, it was an extremely useful talent when it came to scouting. The sharp-eyed wind parrot was said to be able to see as far as ten miles in a straight line and could switch its sight with its summoner, allowing the Nexulyte to see what the parrot sees.
Also, it was able to fly very fast and silently as well which made it difficult to detect. Also, after getting to a certain level, the sharp-eyed wind parrot could slightly change itself into a gust of wind. Further enhancing its camouflaging ability and escaping skills.
Everyone else had a combat-type talent.
Susan had the necromancer talent. Rose was a swordswoman. And Joseph had the fire element.
The last person in the group was Ivan and everyone was already aware of his ability to summon multiple swords.
The group chatted for a while before Susan suddenly looked ahead with a face mixed with excitement and nervousness.
The others were confused by her actions and looked over.
What they saw…or who they saw, to be precise, was Iva,n, who had just returned from his training with James. He had seen the information of the teams on the board and was currently looking for his teammates. He didn\'t know what any of them looked like, but that wasn\'t the same for the others as they immediately recognized him.
"Over here!" Camellia called out to Ivan while smiling sweetly.
Ivan raised an eyebrow when he saw the pretty girl with golden hair waving at him but still walked over.
"Are you…" Ivan wanted to ask upon reaching them but was cut off by Susan who earnestly answered amidst his speech.
" I see," Ivan muttered while scanning them with his eyes.
He proceeded to ask them several questions such as their AP, talent, and battle styles.
The strongest among the five was Camellia, who had 7.08% AP, and the weakest was Joseph, with 5.77% AP; the others were somewhere in between.
Ivan realized that the group was not too weak and the reason why they were so low on the ranking was either because of their talents that weren\'t suitable for one-on-one fights or because they were staying indoors to increase their AP as much as they could.
They chatted for a bit before Ivan decided to leave but not before saying in a cold tone.
" I have no issues carrying you all, just don\'t be a dead weight and listen to orders"
Watching Ivan walk away, Camellia giggled while Rose stomped her feet in frustration. She was annoyed by Ivan\'s attitude towards them.
"Well, he has the right to be arrogant," Joseph said with a sigh.
"Un, and he\'s not too cold either. He\'s actually easy to communicate with; you just need to be careful what you say." Susan nodded.
"Whatever, I\'m going to my room. I\'m just a bit short from 6% AP" Rose said before leaving.
The others talked for a while before leaving to do their own things.
After leaving the lobby, Ivan left straight for the Nexus chambers.
He arrived at the third chamber and immediately sat in a cross-legged posture.
...
NAME: Ivan Von Charles
Talent Group: Primal Talent type: Wisher Talent: Wish card
Talent lv: SS AP: 29.69% Rank: TRUE KING
....
Looking at his AP, which was at 29.69%, a look of determination flashed through his eyes.
"Let\'s get to 30% first" Ivan mumbled softly before closing his eyes.
Fwoosh!!
The Nexus energy in the room immediately began to gather toward Ivan before entering his body and into his Nexus chamber.
Shortly after, his AP began to rise slowly.
…..
Days passed quickly, and before one even realized it, a new week had arrived, and it was the start of the sixth month, their last month of training!
The special training that was announced last week and was to be held every three days was also starting today.
After the morning training, Instructor Logan asked all the trainees to go gather in the lobby and wait for further instructions.
