Reform Plan, Sudden Terrifying Howls

The difficulty of this matter lay in the appearance of an unusual prodigy like Moss.

The difficulty of the Mystic Realm was significant, and the monster was strong, yet Moss came over as if he was chopping melons and vegetables.

This was done despite his team's weak class combination, and his own class was the lowest among all.

Moss awakened as a Knight, and his teammate was an Alchemist, but they still passed smoothly.

It seemed that Moss quickly solved all the students' problems. Thinking of this, the headmaster's heart lit up.

Didn't this just show that Moss's experience was an answer?

Looking at Moss, who was constantly taking the initiative to look for Magical Beasts and then killing and leveling up on the screen, and thinking of the director's constant praise for Moss during this period, he felt that he seemed to have grasped onto something.

He turned to the director and said, "Director, this batch of students are too weak in actual combat. It seems that there is indeed a problem with our previous teaching model. However, this is only the first test after the reform. We still have a chance to correct the next batch of students."

The headmaster's answer seemed to have piqued the director's interest.

"It sounds like you already have an idea?"

The headmaster nodded confidently and replied, "Director, I think we can emulate student Moss' model of success."

As expected, upon hearing the headmaster's words, the director's expression visibly improved.

The headmaster knew that his answer had satisfied the director, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"I'll tidy up the detailed plan tonight and send it to your office tomorrow morning."

"Okay." The director nodded in agreement.

The headmaster couldn't help but feel delighted. He knew that the director was satisfied with his train of thought in front of him.

After the director returned to his seat, the headmaster looked at Aisha, who had been staring at Moss' screen.

He planned to find Aisha later to learn more about Moss' studying methods and life. He wanted to refine something useful so that the next batch of students would have a qualitative leap in their combat ability.

"Eh? What is Cullen's team doing?"

Just as everyone was paying attention to the performance of the other participants, a sharp-eyed student suddenly noticed that the movements of Cullen's team seemed to be unusual.

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Cullen's team.

They saw Cullen's team running around in the Mystic Realm with their heads lowered as if they were looking for something. Sometimes, when they met other participants, they would also chat and invite them to join. Several participants joined, which made Cullen's team expand a lot in a short period.

"He's gathering people?"

"What is Cullen trying to do? He can't get points even if he gathers people."

Everyone couldn't understand Cullen's confusing behavior. They could only think of the fact that Cullen had tried to set Moss up and abandoned his companions. This kind of behavior didn't pay attention to human rules. It made people instinctively feel that he wasn't doing anything good.

Other than gathering a large number of his companions, Cullen seemed to have learned a lesson after escaping the attacks of the Explosive Wolves. He changed his attack method.

Cullen no longer used his teammates to protect him. He now let his teammates go out to pull the monsters into a stalemate. Then, he would launch a fatal strike from the jungle to kill the enemy.

This method was obviously more suitable for the Swordmaster class. Along the way, Cullen and his team had made a lot of gains. Although they were not as good as Moss and the others, they were still quite impressive.

As the number of Cullen's team increased, the efficiency of the battle continued to grow. Cullen's level steadily increased too.

When Cullen's strength had reached a certain level, their exploration party seemed to have discovered something. As the camera on the hologram turned, everyone present let out a gasp of surprise.

"Is that... a Mystic Realm boss?"

The audience finally seemed to understand what Cullen wanted to do.

Cullen wanted to challenge the boss of the Mystic Realm!

…

Meanwhile, Moss and Alan killed another Level-3 Explosive Wolf and continued to walk deeper into the Mystic Realm.

After constantly fighting with Explosive Wolves along the way, Moss and Alan had reached level 6 and level 3, respectively. Most of Alan's experience from killing the Explosive Wolves was gained from taking advantage of Moss's opponent.

This was also Moss' intention. After all, it was better to have stronger companions in the same party in the Mystic Realm. Moreover, after leveling up to Level-5, Moss realized that he could only become stronger by killing a more significant number of Level-1 and Level-2 Explosive Wolves. 

This reminded Moss of the teacher's information in class. High-level professionals would receive less and less improvement when killing low-level monsters.

After that, Moss consciously let Alan kill these low-level Explosive Wolves.

After finishing the kill, Moss did not put his sword back into its sheath. He just held it in his hand.

As he walked, he turned to Alan and asked, "Alan, how is it? Have you leveled up?"

Alan also walked to Moss's side. When he heard Moss's question, he looked at his own level and shook his head with some regret.

"Just a little more. I'll just need to kill two more wolves."

Moss nodded, indicating that he understood.

He was calculating in his heart. When Alan leveled up to around Level-5, and when Alan could protect himself, the two of them could look for the Mystic Realm boss.

At this moment, a terrifying howl suddenly sounded in the dense forest.

"Awooo!"

It was a furious howl. Although it gave the impression that it was still far away, it seemed to contain some sort of power that caused one's head to feel a piercing pain.

"Ah!"

Alan was confused by the sudden attack of the howl. He covered his head and crouched down in pain, seemingly getting a headache from his lower level and class.

The howl continued for a while until Alan's nose was drenched in sweat. He stood on the ground, panting heavily, and asked in bewilderment, "Moss, did you hear that? What was that?"

Alan was clearly shaken by the sudden howl, and his mind was unclear. He asked without thinking.

Moss had been with him since entering the Mystic Realm, so how could he possibly know what the source of this terrifying howl was?

However, when Moss heard Alan's question, he fell into deep thought. His eyes flashed as if he had an answer.

"Moss, what have you thought of?" Alan looked at Moss's expression and asked curiously.

However, before he could say anything, both their expressions changed.

Buzz!

The ground began to shake.
