《The Cardboard Explorer》Chapter 16
Advertisement
Noticing the coming arrow, Sera manipulates the fire to form a small shield made of fire to protect herself from the arrow.
However, the arrow emitted cyan aura and easily passed through the shield of fire and shocked Sera. Sera immediately moved to dodge the arrow and she succeeded…
Is what she thought when another arrow was coming fast at her. Instead of making another shield of fire, Sera coated her fist with fire and caught the incoming arrow.
To her surprise, the arrow was not moving normally, it was spinning fast. Sera needed to use more power to catch it but she failed and the arrow hit the floor.
She looked in the direction of the arrow and saw a guy with black hair wielding a bow. That guy stared at Sera fiercely as he was mad with Sera’s attitude.
Sera recognized that guy instantly as he was one of the few explorers in her class. He became an explorer much earlier than her and Cade. It meant that he had more experience in fighting compared to Cade and Sera.
“No matter how high the grade of your growth potential, if you are too arrogant and look down on people too much, you won’t survive long as an explorer,” said the black hair guy while staring at Sera.
Sera clenched her teeth as she felt pressured by the black hair guy. It looked like that guy was far stronger than her.
It was fine for her to look down on Cade as he was weaker than her but Rico was on a different level compared to her.
The black hair guy was Rico. He was well known among their classmates to be the strongest explorers in their class. All the other explorers were nowhere near his level.
Rico came from a prestigious family but he was different compared to others of the same status as him. He had his pride but not arrogance. He hated fighting and had a huge sense of justice.
Looking at Cade being bullied by Sera; he could not stand it and thus the attack on Sera happened. He needed to teach Sera a lesson of not being arrogant.
Sera extinguished her fire and stared at Rico. She knew she cannot beat him and decided to leave the class. Before she left, she looked at Cade that was still lying on the floor with disdain.

Once she left, the class calmed down. Most of them did not know what to do when Sera suddenly attacked Cade. They were all normal humans and there was no way they could stop an explorer.
Luckily, Rico was there to stop whatever Sera was trying to do to Cade. Looking at Cade that was unconscious on the floor, some of them came closer to bring him to the infirmary.
However, before they could get to him, another girl was already beside him. She was Cynthia, their class most beautiful girl.
Her golden long hair, her soft and white skin with her beautiful golden eyes will make anyone who saw her fall in love with her.
She was the most beautiful girl in their class and unknown to them, she was the most beautiful girl in their college. Not only them in the same class, other boys and even girls from other classes knew of her beauty and fell in love with her.
Cynthia stood beside the unconscious Cade and she showed her beautiful smile at Cade.
“You can stop pretending. Sera already left,” said Cynthia while looking at Cade and beaming him with her beautiful and dazzling smile.
When the others heard Cynthia, they blinked their eyes. There was no way Cade was conscious after an attack from an A grade explorer.
However, to their surprise, Cade slowly opened his eyes and stared at Cynthia. Cynthia was looking at Cade and her face was shining like sunlight in the eyes of others but to Cade, he was unaffected by her beauty.
Cade lifted his body and sat on the floor. He looked at Cynthia and asked, “How do you know I am fine?”
“I saw you took out something to block the fire and you jumped voluntarily backward to make it look like you were blown by the fireball,” said Cynthia and again showing her dazzling smile.
“Rico knew too,” said Cynthia and she directed her face towards Rico who had already gone back to his seat without caring about Cade.
Cade looked at Rico and saw him calmly sitting on his seat reading a book. Cade sighed and he stood up and arranged back the chair and table blown away by his fall. It was not a surprise for them to be able to see through his acting as both of them were explorers with lots of experience.

While he was arranging the table and chair, he realized that Cynthia was staring at him. Cade looked at her and asked, “Is… something wrong?”
Cynthia did not answer him and instead, she smiled. Cade awkwardly smiled back at Cynthia as he did not know what she wanted from him.
“This girl is a problem too,” thought Cade. Cynthia's origin was unknown to everyone in their class. No one knew her family and she never talked about it too.
She was not born in Dineon and it was not weird for foreigners to come study on another planet but her identity did not look that simple.
Everyone knew for sure that she was not a commoner and she probably came from a prestigious family by the way she acted.
However, many boys searched her identity on the internet and they found none. Usually, people from the big, prestigious and wealthy family had some of their information on the internet no matter how small and insignificant that person was but that was not the case for Cynthia.
There was none about her. There was no data about Cade too on the internet due to his family not registering him in their family. Cade thought that maybe she was in the same situation as him but that was unlikely. The reason was that her eyes were bright.
Her eyes had no inch of sadness in it. It looked like she lived her life happily. Cade had been living his life without much happiness and he can easily recognize someone with a happy life. Cynthia’s eyes had a lot of happiness, no it was filled with happiness to the brim.
After Cynthia smiled at Cade, she left him alone. Cade then continued what he had been doing. A few minutes later, the professor arrived and the class started as usual.
At the time where Cade was busy focusing in class, new news about the time limit dungeon surfaced.
At the moment, another three, time limit dungeon appeared that shook the universe. The first dungeon was located in Planet Desktra at Roum Star Sector.
The dungeon had a time limit of one week with a level limit of level 70 to level 80. Roum Star Sector Alliance at the moment was moving fast to gather as many levels 70 to level 80 explorers to close the dungeon.
They were on high alert as they did not want Planet Desktra to vanish like Planet Snowball. Besides, their dungeon at the moment had a much higher, level limit compared to the dungeon in Planet Snowball.
That meant, their dungeon was harder compared to the time limit dungeon that appeared on Planet Snowball. They decided to give huge incentives to explorers that gave many contributions towards closing the time limit dungeon to attract many explorers joining the exploration.
The second dungeon was located in Planet Lapto at Techan Star Sector. The time limit for this dungeon was three days with the level limit of level 20 to level 30.
Just like what Roum Star Sector’s Alliance had done to attract many explorers joining the exploration to close their time limit dungeon, Techan Star Sector’s Alliance did the same.
Their incentives were a bit smaller because their dungeon was of the lower level. There was no need to give much but what they decided to give was more than enough to attract explorers of level 20 to level 30.
The last dungeon that appeared had shockingly appeared in Planet White Snow of Ice Star Sector. The news was too shocking because Planet White Snow was located next to Planet Snowball.
Not only that, it was only a few days ago that Planet Snowball vanished and now, its neighbor was next. This inflicted extreme fear amongst the citizen of Ice Star Sector.
“Will another planet of this star sector vanish?” said one of the citizens.
“Are we all going to die soon?” said another.
“Mom, let’s move to another star sector!”
“I am going to quit my job and move to another star sector.”
“I hope we can close this dungeon.”
“I am sure we will not make the same mistake a few days ago!”
“We can do it! Let’s cheer for the explorers to succeed!”
Ice Star Sector did not want to make the same mistake and they decided to offer a huge incentive. However, before they even announced the incentives, all the guilds and explorers who met the level limit started moving towards Planet White Snow voluntarily.
