Chapter 60: His Own Team

Never leave room for anything that threatens our lives! Ready for a shot! Forestall the others! Kill him! Extinguish him! — Warriors’ Codes

Every academy and organization kept such records as the most talented, the fastest-growing and the most XXX students ever in history.

There was a similar record file in Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy.

In the morning jogging fight, Qian Jin defeated four rivals on his own just in the blink of an eye, showing his gift of being a Level 6 Warrior. Due to this, his name was included in the record file of Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy, with the title of the Strongest Warrior of Grade One ever in the academy’s history!

Similarly, Gabriella’s name “shone” in that record file.

For being the most incompetent, the most ungifted, and the most unpromising magic apprentice since the opening of the Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy!

These three comments prefixed with “the most” overweighed that of Qian Jin by two words. The file’s comment on Gabriella could be briefly concluded into: give up.

Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy had been insisting on the philosophy of “never lose hold of any student” since its opening, however, Gabriella was far beyond redemption!

Teachers of the Magic Major held a group discussion and agreed that having her continue studying in the academy did no good but would ruin her! She’d better put an early end to this dim schooling to find new directions for her life.

This was the exact person who was about to team up with Qian Jin for the test. Rodriguez couldn’t believe that Caeller, the managing director of Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy, came up with such an evil means to stop Qian Jin from completing the test and accruing credits.

What shocked Rodriguez more was that, on knowing Gabriella, the worst magic apprentice since the opening of Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy, was chosen as his partner for the test, Qian Jin showed no concern but replied with “I got it”, and rushed for the dorm with a shining smile.

“Damn Caeller! Damn the Cae Family!” Rodriguez kicked the pebble on the ground hard, and gave out a long and revengeful exhale.

Since Caeller assumed the position of the managing director of Oakland Mage and Warrior Academy, the financial status of the academy, which had already shown declining tendencies, went from bad to worse, as Caeller took bribes from the students’ families to profit himself.

However, upon Caeller’s misdeed, nobody, including the Dean, could impose any sanction on him. After all, Cae Family’s influence in the Yulee Province were undoubtedly overwhelming! Even Sabonis, Mayor of Oakland, paid special care not to get on the wrong side of Caeller, who came from a nominal subclan of the Cae Family, unless necessary.

Though nobody could claim with sheer certainty that the Cae Family of the Yulee Province would speak for such a member of the subclan, yet no one could be sure that the Cae Family wouldn’t shelter Caeller.

Caeller, as an individual, might be of no significance, but how about Oakland’s resources? The Cae Family might overlook Caeller, however, anything that got triggered by him would become their excuse for intervening with the Oakland City.

The Dean warned that the Cae Family had accrued compelling influences in the Oakland City. Similarly, Sabonis, Mayor of Oakland, declared that no opportunity shall be exploited by the Cae Family for their expansion.

Caeller became the direct beneficiary of this event.?

Qian Jin came back to dormitory just to find that Rollin had spread onto bed for a sound sleep. The afternoon’s courses were physical training exercise for the warriors, which were, undoubtedly, extremely painstaking for such a plump man as Rollin.

Qian Jin sat down on the bed and crossed his legs; he was practicing meditation—a daily routine he had been insisting on without cease. Qian Family not only bred warriors, but also mages. Every descendant of Qian Family inherited gift for magic, more or less. None of them were born without any feeling for magic.

One hour later, Qian Jin bitterly opened his eyes. As before, today’s meditation didn’t help him catch any trace of magic elements, let alone the magic element spirits.

Qian Jin didn’t feel despondent for not having caught any magic elements; he had been accustomed to this result for so many years. Compared with catching sense of magic elements, what he cared about more was the Warrior Weapon!

Becoming a Forge Master was a faraway goal for a great many of Level 8 Blacksmiths, but to Qian Jin, it was a drawing near future, where he might enter the endless world upon this meditation, or the next time. He needed to adamantly struggle for it!

Becoming a Forge Master was something exciting enough, though overshadowed by being the greatest warrior.

It could be referred by various written documents that nearly every great warrior was sponsored by one or more Forge Masters as well as other people!

The only way for a warrior who had been cut off all ties with his family was to single-handedly establish his own back-up team when joining the military army!

By fighting with the enemy Demons on the battlefield, one could accumulate military merits and get promoted in the army. After becoming a Centurion— a hundred-men’s captain—he would be qualified to build up his own team.

However, in order to gain the real qualification and take in the powerful advocates, he needed to acquire the position of a Chiliarchy—thousand men’s captain.

A Chiliarchy could be called a general in the army. After reaching the general’s position, absorbing the powerful sponsors would become much easier.

For a person who had no military merits, being unable to acquire the general’s status or a strong family background’s back-up, unless he possessed the king’s inborn spirit like Emperor Zence of the Zence Empire, he would never ever have the chance of absorbing a bulk of advocates. This Emperor, even in his days from scratch, was attracted to seas of people to be of service, including the patriarchs of the three ultimate Bloodline Families, who decided to support Dragon Zence shortly after their contact.

At that time, Joen Lotus , the only descendant of the three Bloodline Warriors who reached the Ultimate Awakening and was deemed as the strongest unrivalled warrior then, declared his allegiance to Emperor Zence upon his first meeting with Dragon Zence.

Qian Jin was clear that he had no such charisma as the Zence Royalty, let alone the Spirit of a King. The only way for him to create his own team might be joining the army. Given that he had won the odds of becoming a Forge Master, it was beyond doubt that his heart was now exploding with excitement.
