Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 33
Advertisement
Vincent looked at the enclosed space that had nothing but a chair. His face was filled with boredom.
He thought that a high-level device like this would be magical.
"Please enter your name."
The gentle voice instruced. It felt like it was coming from everywhere.
"Vincent Amore."
"Checking now, please wait a moment..."
"Check complete, input correct, starting simulation battle."
"Please sit on the chair."
Vincent followed suit and sat on the chair.
As he sat on the chair, his vision went black.
When he could see again, he was at the Colosseum.
There were eight iron gates surrounding him, and behind the iron gates was a black hole.
Vincent frowned.
The Colosseum was built in the Middle Ages.
He did not expect Quinn to include it in the scene.
"Roar!"
The iron gate in front suddenly opened, and with a loud roar, a red monkey dashed out.
The monkey had a rooster-like crown on its head, and its tail was made up of a few long peacock tails.
"Bird-tailed Cockscomb Monkey!"
Vincent's eyes widened.
Bird-tailed Cockscomb Monkey, also known as the Cockatoo, was a high-level monster with an extremely high IQ. It could use psionic weapons just like humans. It was one of the most difficult monsters to deal with amongst all other high-level monsters.
Outside the simulator, Chris was shocked when she saw the Colosseum.
As far as she knew, there was no such scene in the simulator.
When the Cockatoo emerged, most of the people present had their mouths agape.
Beginner versus advanced?
This was too unreal!
Never heard of it!
Could it be that Quinn had a high score for Vincent's combat ability?
Chris licked his lips again, his body trembling, and the desire to fight in his eyes burst out.
The sisters and Nabil had on worried faces.
The others were shocked.
Only William had a cruel smile on his face.
"Not good! There's a problem!"
Chris's expression changed drastically.

Although the simulator would not harm Vincent, such a problem meant that there was a bug in the device.
Who knows what problems might arise in the future?
If it was someone with strong mental endurance, it would be fine. However, if it was someone who had a slightly weaker mental endurance, it might leave a psychological scar.
This was the only way the device could cause harm to the students.
It was also the most difficult issue to treat.
Angelina heard that there was a problem with the simulated dueling device, and her face was filled with panic.
"Teacher Chris, please explain clearly! What's the problem?"
"This scene doesn't exist in the simulated dueling device. Moreover, the device had clearly set Vincent's level by mistake."
Chris explained the situation to Angelina while taking out her phone to make a call.
"Oh my God! Look! Vincent won!"
Just as Chris dialed the number, she heard Hixton's surprised voice.
"What? He won?"
Chris quickly looked up at the projection screen.
On the screen, Vincent was kneeling on one knee and was covered in blood. In front of him was a charred corpse that looked like charcoal.
One could tell that this was the corpse of the Cockatoo.
"What's going on?"
Chris opened her mouth in shock.
Six minutes ago, in the simulator.
Vincent looked at the Cockatoo in front of him and clenched his fists.
Although it was the first time that he faced a high-level monster, Vincent was not afraid at all.
Firstly, it was because this was only a simulated battle and there was no real danger to his life. This allowed Vincent to have no worries at all.
The second was because he had the chance to fight against a high-level monster. Vincent could test out his strength and gains during this period of time.
To him, this was a good thing.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The Cockatoo barked at Vincent a few times and rushed forward directly.

Vincent's gaze was focused. He waved his hand and cast the Hellfire net. He wanted to wrap the net around the Cockatoo.
However, the Cockatoo was very agile. It dodged and at the same time grabbed a handful of soil and threw it at Vincent.
Vincent drew out his Black Battle Saber and slashed it open. He then followed up with the Collapsing Mountain Strike.
The Cockatoo did not expect Vincent to react so fast.
The Collapsing Mountain Strike was so strong, it sent the Cockatoo flying.
"Squeak Squeak!"
The Cockatoo let out a blood-curdling scream. It crashed into the wall with a bang.
Vincent did not want it to escape. He jumped to reduce the distance between him and the Cockatoo. Three Hellfire arrows were shot out.
The eyes of the Cockatoo turned red. It was obvious that it was enraged.
"Roar!"
The Cockatoo opened its mouth and roared. This sound was like the roar of a tiger and dragon. It was not something that a monkey could produce.
The roar was very loud. It was so loud that it formed sound waves and shattered the Hellfire arrows. Moreover, its momentum did not decrease.
Vincent was in the air. There was no way for him to dodge. He was hit hard.
Not only was he sent flying, but his body seemed to have been cut open by a knife, with countless wounds appearing.
Fresh blood instantly stained his clothes.
His Black Battle Saber fell onto the ground, not too far away from the Cockatoo.
The Cockatoo jumped up and down beside the saber and grabbed it.
It mimicked Vincent and used a Collapsing Mountain Strike.
However, it was obvious that it was just a demonstration. Although his saber was being used, the power of the Collapsing Mountain Strike was not strong.
At the same time, Vincent felt the Cockatoo's sonic wave attack head-on. He had also used up all his old strength and had yet to regenerate new strength.
Although he tried to dodge it with all his strength, he did not dodge it completely.
He was sent flying once again and spat out a mouthful of blood.
However, he already had a plan in place. He had set up the seed of Hellfire.
He was just waiting for the Cockatoo to come nearer before he detonated it.
A high-level monster was still a high-level monster after all. For Vincent, it was still too strong.
It was so strong that he did not even have time to react.
If he was not careful, he would end up being restrained everywhere.
"Flamethrower Combo!"
Vincent mobilized his power forcefully and launched a set of attacks at the Cockatoo.
The Cockatoo was shocked by the sudden appearance of flames and continued attacking.
Vincent did not assume that one attack would be enough to kill the Cockatoo.
He was not even the slightest bit upset. Instead, he used the Flamethrower Combo again.
Vincent kept using the Flamethrower Combo, and the Cockatoo kept dodging.
It panicked at first but became used to the attack.
The Cockatoo was no longer afraid of Vincent's Flamethrower Combo.
At the same time, Vincent revealed a victorious smile.
"It's over."
Vincent said softly, "Explode!"
Boom!
The Cockatoo was swallowed by the black flames beneath its feet and instantly turned into charcoal.
It turned out that the reason why Vincent spent so much energy on the Flamethrower Combo was to force the Cockatoo to move.
However, due to the excessive consumption of his power, although the Hellfire seed was detonated, it was not able to burn the Cockatoo to ashes.
Fortunately, Hellfire was very strong. Although it only burned the Cockatoo for an instant, it still killed it.
If it was not killed, Vincent would have been killed instead although it would not be for real.
Just as Vincent thought the simulation was over, the other seven iron gates opened.

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
