A Sudden Mini-Event

Mason was initially hesitant as the notorious rookie's confidence seemed to be sky-high, making him temporarily doubt if his skills would be enough to bring this arrogant rookie down.

However, upon remembering that his parents, both mithril-ranked Valenzia City adventurers, provided him abundant resources such as top-quality training potions and physique-enhancing tonics from a young age in addition to training him diligently since when he was ten years old, all the doubts in Mason's mind simply flew out the window.

That's right. 

How could someone like this arrogant guy be stronger than him?

This so-called notorious rookie most probably graduated as a top student of some random academy and that's why he was so confident, thinking that he was untouchable by mere recruits who took the rookie admission exam.

Not only did this charlatan have to fight for his own resources like some stray dog, but the competition he had was probably low-level as well.
