John was looking at the air with a shocked look on his face. Arthur smiled as he muttered, "Looks like he got something good.

Arthur approached John and patted him on the shoulder to bring him out of his daze.

"I've got the ability to be a freaking SS rank, hahaha." John looked at Arthur with a confused face, then his expression shifted from confusion to excitement. He jumped up, screaming and laughing wildly.

Arthur patted John on the back, "Well done, John. It seems like you've got quite the potential within you."

John, still buzzing with excitement, grinned at Arthur. "I never imagined I could be an SS rank! This is amazing!"

Arthur chuckled, "It's indeed remarkable, but remember, potential is just the beginning. The real journey lies in how you develop and utilize it. Don't let it get to your head, and always stay committed to your training."

John nodded, the reality of the responsibility settling in. "I get it, Arthur. I won't slack off; I promise."

With a serious tone, Arthur continued, "Good. The path to greatness requires dedication and perseverance. Now, about the Academy, it's time for you to take the next step. Inside the city, there's an academy where individuals with awakened talents gather to hone their skills. It's a place of growth and camaraderie."

John's eyes widened with curiosity. "An academy? That sounds interesting. What's it like?"

Arthur explained, "The academy is divided into different sections based on talents and abilities. Considering your potential, you'll likely be placed in a high-ranking class. There, you'll receive specialized training and guidance to maximize your strengths."

As John absorbed the information, Arthur added a word of caution, "But remember, competition is fierce, and not everyone is as friendly as it seems. Stay vigilant and focused on your goals. This is a chance to grow, but it's also a challenge."

John nodded, grateful for Arthur's guidance. "I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for everything, Arthur."

John's eyes sparkled with eagerness as he listened to Arthur's insights. "So, what's the academy like on a day-to-day basis? Are there classes, or is it more hands-on training?"

Arthur leaned back, considering John's questions. "The academy follows a structured curriculum. You'll have a combination of theoretical classes to understand the fundamentals of your abilities and practical training sessions to apply what you've learned. The instructors are skilled individuals who have mastered their own talents, and they'll guide you through the learning process."

"Most of the instructors there are already S-ranks," Arthur said, observing John's shocked expression upon hearing those words.

"S rank? Why the hell are they teaching, with a rank like that they are already some of the strongest people in the world."

"It's true that having a high rank opens doors to many opportunities, John, but appearances can be deceiving. You'll come to understand this better as you grow more powerful."

"So what are you going to do Arthur?"

"I have been summoned, and I must go on a long-term mission." Arthur looked seriously into John's eyes.

Whenever John inquired about Arthur's affiliation with the association or any guild, Arthur skillfully dodged the question, promising to reveal the details at a later time. John grew accustomed to this routine and eventually set the topic aside in his mind.

"Anyway, John, I have to go soon, so try to get used to your strength today and go to the academy tomorrow."

John was about to ask Arthur to clarify the details of applying to the academy, but Arthur cut him off when he threw him a small backpack that he took out of his ring. John looked at it in confusion, then raised his head to meet Arthur's gaze with the same confusion.

"Inside this bag is a phone for you, and I put my number in it and another number. If you want something, call me, but it will be difficult for me to answer. Then call the other number and tell it that you are my student, and it will help you. btw inside the bag, there is some money. Use it well. Goodbye, boy. Don't disappoint me." Arthur said and started to leave.

John looked at Arthur's broad back with a complicated expression, then sighed and began to open the bag to check its contents.
