Chapter 287 - 281: Rosewood Twin Tablet

Translator: 549690339 |

If previously, the older students of Rosewood College were still somewhat skeptical about the quality of this new student’s ranking as number one, then after witnessing the present scene, their doubts and eagerness had completely dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of admiration and awe.

“Buzz!”

As the brilliant light blooming from the Rosewood Divine Wood completely vanished, it marked the official end of the Divine Wood Baptism ceremony.

At this moment, David Jones slowly opened his eyes, feeling an unprecedented surge of power inside him, causing his confidence to soar.

“Wait, why is everyone looking at me?”

Snapping back to reality, he blinked his eyes and saw the envious gazes from the surrounding students. He instantly stopped the stretch he was about to make.

On the other side, seeing David Jones’s expression change from bewildered to serious, Margaret Yule couldn’t help but smile slightly, congratulating him: “Congratulations on making it to the end.”

“Thank you.”

Upon hearing her words, David Jones instantly understood in his heart, it turned out that he had persevered to the end of this baptism ceremony.

“But even so, why do all the new students on the square look at me as if I’m a monster?”

Compared to the excited cheers he felt during the Trainer Battle, this scene, where the entire audience was silent and everyone was staring directly at him,

seemed eerily strange.

“This Divine Wood Baptism is a challenge and reward that the school has prepared for you! And your performance has demonstrated the infinite potential of the younger generation.” Blake Easton’s voice broke the quiet atmosphere.

“Today’s opening ceremony has come to a successful conclusion! By the way, the school and the Beast Legion will be conducting military training in three days. I hope everyone is prepared! Now, please follow your instructor s guidance back to your respective classes.”

After Principal Easton finished speaking, the instructors surrounding the platform began guiding the students to smoothly exit the area.

“I’m your instructor, Lydia Mist, you can call me Miss Mist. Please follow me in this direction.” The young girl said to the students in David Jones’s row.

“???”

David Jones looked at the mild-looking instructor in front of him, wearing a white shirt, and seemed to not be much older than him, his eyes full of n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

surprise.

“Miss Mist, you are so young!” exclaimed a lively female student while walking towards the classroom building.

Upon hearing her words, Lydia Mist revealed a gentle smile.

“This is my first time as an instructor, I hope everyone will take care of me. If you have any questions you don’t understand, you can ask me.

After some warm exchanges, Miss Mist quickly became friends with a group of girls in the class.

“Miss Mist seems to be the ninth-ranked Trainer in the Myrtle List last year.” Margaret Yule furrowed her brows, speaking somewhat uncertainly.

“The Myrtle List is?” asked David Jones curiously.

“You haven’t heard of it?” Margaret Yule widened her eyes, exclaiming in surprise.

“Is it very famous?” David Jones felt somewhat embarrassed.

These days, he was either immersed in cultivation, Alchemy, or using Dragon Force to strengthen his Pet. He simply had no time to care about some information inside Rosewood College.

“Rosewood College has set up the Myrtle List and Purple Star List to encourage genius students. The former assesses the students’ Taining abilities, while the latter assesses their Pharmacy levels.

Students who can rank in the top hundred in these two lists among the numerous highly talented students in the school are considered top-notch talents!”

“It is said that the more advanced students are on the lists, the more school credits they receive every month, and the higher level of Pet Resources they can exchange for, so the competition on these two lists is extremely fierce.

“Students who are ranked first in the Myrtle List every year are casually referred to as the Master of the Myrtle List by students and teachers alike, and they are considered to have great potential to break through to become a Legendary Beastmaster in the future. Miss Mist ranking ninth on the Myrtle List is already quite an impressive record!” Margaret Yule patiently explained.

“It’s just a false reputation!”

Initially, David Jones didn’t care too much about Margaret Yule’s introduction, but when he heard that the top hundred students on the list would receive school rewards in the form of school credits, his interest was piqued.

“How do I participate in the Myrtle List and Purple Star List?” David Jones asked.

“Strong Ones go up, weak ones go down! The competition rules of the Myrtle List are simple and brutal. As long as you can defeat a Trainer on the Myrtle List in a Trainer Battle, you can take their place in the Myrtle List ranking, and the loser’s ranking will automatically go back one spot.

“According to different Myrtle List rankings, the number of school credits challengers need to pay also differs greatly. It is said that such a cost is to prevent students from forcibly challenging the strong ones at the top of the list, regardless of their actual strength,” Margaret Yule explained.

“Generally speaking, the Myrtle List’s rankings are mostly occupied by high-level older students, and it is difficult for new students who have just enrolled to squeeze into the Myrtle List. However, you might be able to give it a try!” Margaret Yule laughed.

David Jones smiled, “Being able to fight and learn from senior students in higher grades is something to look forward to!”

Unfortunately, he had spent all the school-awarded school credits on the Dungeon tickets recently, and now he didn’t even have a single credit on him. Otherwise, he could have had a few more battles with the older students before participating in the military training, and perhaps even squeezed into the Myrtle List, taking advantage of the school’s rewards.

“Do you need school credits to challenge the Purple Star List?” asked the penniless David Jones.

“No, you don’t. The Purple Star List ranking is managed by Professor Harvey of the Pharmacy Department.

Pharmacists who plan to challenge the Purple Star List only need to refine high-quality elixirs under the supervision of pharmacy teachers or professors to do so.

The Pharmacy teachers will assign rankings based on the grade of the elixir,” Margaret Yule explained by shaking her head.

“You’re not planning on challenging the Purple Star List too, are you?”

Seeing David Jones’s eagerness, Margaret Yule couldn’t help but ask curiously. “Yes, I don’t plan to miss out on either of these lists,” David Jones nodded.

Upon hearing his words, Margaret Yule’s eyes widened, with a trace of disbelief in them.

She knew David Jones was not one to talk big and dared to say this, he must have at least ninety-eight percent of confidence.

“Could it be that David Jones is now a Flare II or even Flare III Alchemist?” Thinking back to a few months ago when David Jones was still a Flare I Alchemist who could only refine the Starfall Elixir, Margaret Yule joked, “You’re not already a Junior Pharmacist now, are you?

“Huh, I still haven’t taken the Pharmacist level assessment yet. How did you know?” David Jones commented in surprise.

Upon hearing his words, Margaret Yule took a deep breath, but her face did not show the joy of guessing right, but rather the expression of being greatly shocked.

Seeing her holding her forehead and speechless, she said, “I was just joking, who knew you’d be so outrageous!”
