Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 18
Advertisement
"I can't seem to improve the combat technique that I've been practicing. I believe that if I went into the wild to gain some experience, my proficiency would increase and may become full."
Vincent looked at Chris with anticipation.
Every single one of Quinn's students was a favored child of the heavens.
If one wanted to go out, he or she would need a certificate issued by their teacher.
"Yes, I can't remember the combat technique exactly, but proficiency needs to be obtained bit by bit..."
"What? Did you just say that your combat skills are almost full?"
Chris's gaze was dull.
She only became 100% familiar with her combat skills after three years. This was already considered as an extremely high achievement and talent among people of the same age.
However, with Vincent, she felt like she was simply trash.
No! She was not even trash!
She just felt like she needed to leave quickly. If she stayed any longer, she might be beaten to death by Vincent.
"I suddenly remembered that I still have some matters to deal with, so I'll be leaving first."
"If there are any problems, call me."
Chris then stood up and left.
"Teacher Chris, I still need your help with the wilderness training!" Vincent said in a hurry.
"Okay, I'll handle it for you later. I'll inform you when it's done."
Vincent heard Chris's answer from the other side of the dormitory door.
Chris let out a long breath after leaving Vincent's dormitory.
Although she felt like she had dealt a blow with Vincent, she was still proud of him in her heart.
Just as she was about to leave, the door of dormitory No. 8 swung open.
Angelina and her sister walked out immediately.
"It's them!"
Chris's pupils suddenly constricted.
As a specially recruited teacher for Quinn, she was extremely familiar with the two sisters.
"That old fellow actually agreed to let his precious granddaughters come to Quinn!"
Chris muttered softly to herself.
Then, she revealed a strange smile.
She was indeed lively this year.
In the afternoon, Vincent was practicing his psionic ability control.
He originally planned to head out into the wilderness today.

However, as he had made new progress mastering his superpower, he put his plan on hold.
Just as he was compressing his superpower to the size of a shot put with ease, his cell phone rang.
"Vincent, I've gotten permission for you to go on field training." Chris said.
"So fast!"
Vincent was surprised by Chris's efficiency.
"I'll be there right. Thank you again, teacher Chris!"
Vincent went to Chris's office and saw her busy on her computer.
"Give me your student ID."
Chris took Vincent's student ID and inserted it into a device located at the side.
As the device beeped, she returned the student ID to Vincent.
"Although I allowed you to go out to the wilderness to train, you must know that the wilderness of Blazing City cannot be compared to Ellis City"
Chris instructed Vincent earnestly.
"The lowest level monsters were still at beginner level. There might even be special-class or even lord-class monsters appearing."
"For your safety, I will only allow you to move within a 2,000 meter radius."
"You must be careful!"
His words were filled with concern.
Vincent nodded to show that he understood.
"Take these two bottles of medicine with you."
Chris thought for a moment, and with a sweep of her right hand at her waist, she took out two glass bottles that were the size of mineral water bottles.
Each of them contained at least 20 pills.
"The blue pills are for replenishing stamina, while the green pills are for restoring psionic power."
Vincent looked at the two bottles of pills, his heart was moved.
It was amazing for a specially recruited teacher to have done so much for him.
With his good eye, he could naturally tell that the two bottles of pills were extraordinary.
They were worth at least 100,000 psionic power coins.
"Teacher Chris, this is too expensive."
Vincent rejected the gift quickly.
Chris rolled her eyes at him. "If I ask you to take it, then take it."
"You are a special student of mine and Quinn. It is my duty to protect you."
Vincent knew that the so-called duty was just Chris's excuse, but he did not reveal what he truly thought. He just remembered her kindness in his heart.

"Thank you, teacher!"
Chris smiled after seeing Vincent keeping the pills.
"There's no need to be polite with me. However, it's only this once. After all, I don't have much money."
Vincent just smiled.
Ever since they met, Chris had helped him a lot.
He did not believe that it was the same for every special recruit.
Why was Chris being so nice to him?
The only thing Vincent could think of was that Chris was betting on his future.
On Vincent's future achievements!
However, this of course did not affect his ability to remember Chris's kindness.
Chris then asked him to do something else, and Vincent left.
He walked out of the Quinn School and took a taxi out of the city.
Blazing City was the third largest city in Falcon Country. It guarded two black holes.
Although both of them were relatively low-level, they were still extremely dangerous.
There would be a beast tide inside the black hole every day. Even if a base was built inside the black hole, it was still unable to guarantee the safety of all the superpowered people who went inside it.
For this reason, the Quinn School released a portion of the monsters inside the black hole and kept them within a radius of 100,000 meters around Blazing City. The monsters were used to train their students.
The monsters ranged from beginner to lord-tier and were enough for the students to gain some experience.
However, in order to ensure the paramount safety of the students, the wilderness was treated like a black hole, with many supply points set up.
These supply points were not only available to the students at Quinn, but also to mercenaries.
The so-called mercenaries were superpower users who did not belong to any faction.
They travelled between the cities alone or in groups. They relied on monster-hunting and sold monster bones for a living.
Vincent rushed to the nearest supply point at Blazing City. Even though he was still a hundred meters away, he felt a murderous aura.
Although it was called a supply point, it looked more like a small village.
The shops sold all kinds of medicine, weapons, equipment, monster bones, crystals, and others.
People came and went, and it was very lively.
There were constantly patrols on the streets. They were comprised of mercenaries, teachers, students from various colleges, and the city guards of Blazing City.
The main purpose was to maintain the safety of the supply point and resolve grudges between superpowered people.
Based on Vincent's understanding, this supply point was known as Bick Town. In addition to the student groups of the Quinn School and other schools, there were also two mercenary groups.
The two mercenary groups had been stationed in Bick Town all year long and were constantly fighting over it.
Fortunately, their fights did not affect the others. Even if they encountered danger in the wild, there was always help available.
The two mercenary groups seemed to have this as an unwritten rule, especially when it came to students.
It was understandable why this was so.
In this world, 99% of the experts guarding the black hole were from the schools.
Protecting the students was equivalent to protecting the safety of this world.
"Please show me your ID."
At the entrance of Bick Town, Vincent was stopped by a middle-aged man in his forties with a cold face. The man had many scars.
Vincent took out his student ID.
The middle-aged man used a portable scanner to scan it.
"You are this year's special enrollment student for Quinn!"
The middle-aged man was obviously stunned for a moment, but then his expression became much gentler. However, he still looked frightening.
"You just enrolled and you are daring enough to come to the wild to train. Young Man, you have quite the guts!"
Vincent smiled at him.
The middle-aged man returned the student ID to Vincent.
"My name is Hao Sai, I'm from the HUBIC mercenary group. If you encounter any trouble in the wild, fire a flare. We will help you."
As he spoke, he handed a flare gun to Vincent.
Vincent did not reject Hao Sai's good intentions. He took the flare gun, thanked him, and entered Bick Town.

Blue Hills
Nothing had ever felt quite right for Alexander Adamson. He'd worked his way up to a job he could tolerate, a few casual friends, and even a nice little apartment that he could call his own, though it really wasn't. The problem was that none of it was satisfying. It was as though he were going through the motions of a life, rather than having one of his own. Of course, it didn't exactly feel right when he woke up in a strange bed in the middle of nowhere. Nor when he was told that he was now the proud owner and operator of a local farm. A farm that had belonged to a late uncle he'd never known. But with the first train out of town a full 'season' away, he had plenty of time to get used to the idea. Plenty of time, perhaps, to even get to like the strange little town of Blue Hills. I have a discord now. Marvel at my ability to somehow still be antisocial on the other side of a screen! Back from hiatus along with my other fiction. Chapters are on a Thurs/Sun schedule until book 3 of that fiction is completed, at which point I'll be updating this daily. At which point uh.... I dunno what I'm going to do.

A Savage's Journey
Jason Walker, a psych major, has been transported to another world. Quite frankly he isn't prepared. No experience in fighting, no idea how to control mana, and no proper clothes. Only his wits, which are in short supply, and his luck may see him through the day. This is my first novel ever. First ever time writing so I'll definitely be listening to any constructive criticism you guys have to offer. I'll even pay attention to straight up criticism if I can see some merit in it. I hope you all enjoy.

The Kind Devil
Five veteran players of the old-fashioned but outdated VRMMO game, Orge's Bone, meet in the game for one last time before leaving forever. As real life friends, they were torn apart by certain matters, and now decided to say goodbye in the way they know best; a free for all battle royale. However, little do they know that fate has a twist to spin. As they fight it out in a folorn map, they stumble upon a secret teleport gate. Out of curioisity, they all enter it. They find a world more graphicly advanced than the current number one game, and NPCs that really don't act like they should. The game settings are similar to Orge's Bone; there are no levels, only physical strenght gains, which is gained by killing monsters and completing quests. They treat the hidden world as their greenhouse– a place to retreat when the real world treats them unfairly. But after a while, they discover no everything is as it seems– that the hidden world is far more dangerous. Michael is a cultivator whose goal in life is to change the tragic martial world, where killing is like breathing, into a land of peace. It will center a lot around how he'll change the perspectives of those around him, and how he tries to draft more cultivators to his cause, starting with the toughest nut to crack, the ruthless, bloodthirsty and easily-triggered Rector. Last but not least, with how he is met by the greatest tragedy and is forced to make the hardest choice.

Aggravated Defense (Progression LitRPG)
A quick TL;DR pitch. LitRPG Apocalypse with group progression, a non-overpowered mc, a limited skill-slot System where having a single skill over your opponent could make a big difference. A barrier mage mc who isn’t an Edgelord A sentient System that’s a character in its own right. And no harem or cheat skills. ~<>~<>~ Steven knew the world had ended when a great green and purple dome covered the city of Anchorage. Then things got weirder. First earthquakes, then bolts fell from the sky, changing and twisting the things they hit. Steven, stuck in the throes of apathy, had sought shelter out of boredom more than anything else. But when some fellow survivors are separated and trapped by a rampaging moose, an emotion breaks through his apathy. He can’t turn away. Some people say it’s everyone for themselves at the end of the world. Steven disagreed ~<>~<>~ Will update every Sunday and Tuesday at 9:00am, unless the chapter is beefy, then we'll just have one that week. For some more meta details about this story, it’s a LitRPG Apocalypse with a focus on abilities and how they are used over stats and numbers. It will have group progression, a non-overpowered protagonist, and a focus on unique and interesting classes. No overwhelming advantages for the main crew or broken cheat skills. No harem, some amount of gore, decent levels of profanity.
