Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 30
Advertisement
"The top five students in this special enrollment competition will receive unconditional training from their respective schools."
Chris had a sincere look on her face.
"What! Unconditional training!"
"Does this mean that we no longer have to use points when using the superpower training room?"
"It's more than that! From the looks of it, I'm afraid we don't have to worry about all the cultivation resources anymore!"
…
All the specially recruited students widened their eyes. They were shocked by Chris's words.
They could not believe that the reward was real.
All of them were excited, especially those who had participated in the competition before.
Vincent, on the other hand, frowned.
The price of unconditional training was too much for a school; even the three great schools would find it extremely difficult to do it.
To be able to make such a decision for all the schools in the entire country, it was obvious that they had a motive.
But what was the motive?
Vincent could not understand.
However, regardless of the motive, the reward was not bad.
Hence, he did not say anything.
Chris then spoke again.
"Alright, this is the general situation for this year's special recruitment competition."
"As for the specific rules of the competition, we'll have to wait until the day itself."
"Now, please introduce yourselves."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chris looked at the first three people who arrived at the First Hall.
Hixton stood up and said in a low voice, "My name is Hixton Narrick. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class superpower, World-Burning Flames."
As he introduced himself, he looked at Vincent with a face full of battle intent and confusion.
Vincent's eyes were focused. He was also a fire-type superpower user.
This was the first time he had encountered someone who had the same superpower of the same element. It made him competitive.
"My name is Nyssa Theseus. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class control-type ability, Shadow Sky."

The beautiful lady with red hair and long legs, wearing a revealing midriff outfit, had a smile on her face whilst she introduced herself.
"Oscanthus. I'm in the third grade. I have an S-Class superpower, Scarlet Blood Wave."
The refined man introduced himself and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.
Chris looked at Vincent and licked his lips. He then stood up and introduce himself.
The others also introduced themselves one by one.
Finally, the student who was filled with hostility towards Vincent introduced himself.
"My name is William Marquez, S-Class superpower, Monster Affinity."
The corners of William's mouth curled up and his face was filled with pride. "It's a pleasure to meet everyone."
"Marquez? You're from the Royal Family?"
Someone looked at William in shock.
William nodded, and his face was full of pride. "Not bad."
Angelina saw William's attitude, and her face was filled with disdain. She snorted coldly.
"Greetings, Prince William. I'm the Knight Commander's nephew."
The person knelt down on one knee and gave a knight's salute. He was very pious.
"Get up. We're all classmates. I'll take care of you."
William had an amiable look on his face.
Vincent was even more surprised when he heard about William's superpower as compared to Hixton's superpower.
He did not expect that William's superpower was actually Monster Affinity.
It was the same as one of his own superpowers.
Although he usually used Hellfire, Vincent definitely did not underestimate his other two superpowers.
Vincent was very clear on how terrifying this superpower could be if it was fully displayed.
To be able to have an affinity with a monster, he was simply a natural-born beast trainer.
For example, back in Ellis City, Vincent had bought the Fury Hound to experiment with his superpower.
Although its level was not high and had a short temper, because of the monster affinity, it had a good relationship with Vincent.
Based on this, one could tell how terrifying the ability was.
It was then Vincent's turn to introduce himself.

After Vincent finished introducing himself, everyone frowned.
They realized that Vincent had not even started school yet.
It had only been less than a month since he awakened his superpower, yet he was already a beginner-level superpower user.
Moreover, his superpower was an S-Class elemental type, Hellfire.
Although fire was not a rare element, everyone had witnessed how powerful Vincent was when he fought Snick.
He had used his superpower so mysteriously that he looked like a fire-type superpower user.
After hearing Vincent's introduction, William narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed before his eyes.
No one knew what he was thinking.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Nabil. I have an A-Class control superpower, Holy Light Binding."
Behind Nabil's thick glasses was a pair of dull eyes.
"A-Class superpower?"
Oscanthus looked at Nabil.
"A-Class, specially recruited?"
William sneered.
Nyssa frowned slightly. "I know about Holy Light Binding. It can bind the target's body for one second."
No one present could understand why a person with an A-Class superpower was specially recruited.
"I also have another A-Class superpower. It's a support-type ability with buffs."
No one knew whether Nabil was honest or slow-witted.
He did not seem to care about other people's opinions at all.
In fact, there was a possibility that he did not care at all.
"Dual abilities?"
Chris, who was initially uninterested, suddenly light up. He looked at Nabil with a vigorous fighting spirit.
The quality of this year's freshmen was not bad!
Everyone looked at Nabil and was surprised.
Two superpowers were simply too rare.
Quinn was one of the three great schools in Falcon Country. There were more than ten S-Class superpower users. However, other than Nabil, no other students had two special superpowers.
It was indeed rare for someone to have two special superpowers.
However, this did not include Avril as she had yet to introduce herself.
"I have another superpower, and it's an A-Class, elemental type, 100,000 Lightning Strikes."
"Three superpowers!"
This time, even Vincent and those who knew about Avril's two superpowers looked at Nabil with a surprised expression.
Although two superpowers were rare, it was not unheard of. Everyone could accept it.
However, for someone to have three superpowers, it was ridiculous. They had never even heard of it, let alone seen it.
There was no record of them in history.
In other words, Nabil was the first person to ever awaken three superpowers!
Nabil's three superpowers were even more surprising to Vincent.
It was not an exaggeration to say that he was shocked.
The three superpowers actually existed!
Furthermore, Nabil was still standing there.
This proved that even if his three S-Class superpowers were exposed, he would not be in any danger.
Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Vincent would not expose his three S-Class superpowers.
It could be observed how rare three superpowers were based on the people's reactions.
There was also a fundamental difference between an S-Class and an A-Class.
There was not even one student that possessed two S-Class superpowers. For him to have three S-Class superpowers would be too shocking.
As for the fact that superpowers could evolve, he will not mention it to anyone.
"Alright, we'll be classmates from now on. You guys have plenty of time to talk."
Chris stopped everyone's discussion. She then turned to look at Angelina and her sister to ask them to introduce themselves.
After Angelina and her sister finished introducing themselves, Chris stood up.
"Alright, I've finished the most important things for today's meeting. Now, let's talk about the school's arrangements."
"In order to select those who will participate in the special enrollment competition, I will be conducting a special training for you before school starts."
Chris smiled mysteriously. "At the same time, it's also a kind of selection process."
She did not mention how the special training would be conducted, nor did she mention the selection criteria.
She just notified everyone when to meet. After that, she dismissed the group, leaving everyone confused.

Elder Cultivator
Anton is a great-grandfather. He is living quite a happy life, despite his advanced age and declining health… until a group of cultivator bandits moves into the area. The nearby guardians of the area, the Order of Ninety-Nine Stars, are unable to track them down as they continue to ravage nearby towns. During one desperate winter Anton is out on a hunt when his family- his entire village- is killed or taken as slaves by the bandits. He lacks the strength to fight them, and he wasn’t even present for their arrival to die with his loved ones. At the pit of his despair, he wonders if he ever had any chance to change things. What could he even do? He cannot even pull his best bow, and his eyesight is failing. If he had been a cultivator… perhaps there might have been a chance, but he was decades- perhaps even most of his life- too late. Notes on cultivation levels: There are five general stages of cultivation, though the fifth is extremely rare. Each cultivation style might have their own name for the stages. 1. Body Tempering 2. Spirit Building/ occasionally System Creation (Ninety-Nine Stars) 3. Constellation Formation (Ninety-Nine Stars) 4. Life Transformation/Galaxy Construction (Ninety-Nine Stars) 5.

8 338Flame Beneath The Snowfall
Alto is a world governed by Tones. Magic, as one might call it. Manifested through deep mental and physical conditioning, one can control the Tones in a way that is unique to them. The power to store items in gems, transfer life, affect a person's mind, and even the more primal abilities such as control of the elements. Those who have these supernatural abilities are called 'Vassals.' People that fully manifest their abilities are not as common as one might think, and not all Vassals acquire their ability through practice, given if conditions are met. In fact, those who had received much trauma manifest the Tones more frequently, albeit spontaneously. However, the rare kind of Vassals are those who manifest it from childhood. A gift, but not without its repercussions. Alto is stuck in a transitional era, where the line between modern and dated technology is blurred. One can travel to a city that has a tall skyline, bustling with people in sophisticated clothing, or a mere town governed by a lord, all the while riding on a powered vehicle. Cultures vary: Some turn to the more dated practices such as castes, others are more inclined to set equal footing on their people, led by nobility. Some are dedicated to become scholars, studying Alto's Tones, while others set foot on hunts, protecting lone towns from the creatures of some of the still-untamed lands. And the Vassals? Those willing are took under The Organization, an elusive group, its presence said to permeate all throughout Alto, taking care of Rogue Vassals that abuse their abilities and other businesses related to their side. But what is this story all about, you may ask? Well, set your sights on the upper portions of this huge landmass that is Alto. Yes, the 'whole' world is called Alto, but that is because the majority of the known people live on this large continent. Relieve yourself of the worrying tensions everywhere, and see the white snow. Trace the piercing mountaintops and focus your eyes between the valley. A town sits there. Mido. After realizing that the memories only left in his mind was the night of his town's imminent destruction in flames, a boy finds himself grasping for every fiber of his life as he lays down flat on the ground. Beneath him was soot mixed with the white snow. Fortunately, a group of investigators, who were supposed to answer their call for help, saved him from his sorry state. With a newfound second wind, but hampered by his loss of memory, he must solve his own case: Who had the audacity to set Mido, his town, aflame? Flame Beneath the Snowfall focuses on action, with a sense of adventure, but mostly the discovery of an outside world, and the protagonist's exposure to it. Add in a whisk of soft magical elements, and you get a story that I hope will be interesting to the readers. That is not to say that my work is without the sense of unnerving atmosphere, however. As a forewarning, there are elements of gore, horror, minor elements of mental trauma, etc. so it is not for all audiences. *The book is already completed. Although I have plans to continue the story (it would have to involve much larger scope in terms of world-building), I have yet to decide when to start the next entry.
8 117Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)
8 126Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.
