Chapter 368: A Name on the List

Seeing Margaret Yule, stunningly beautiful, clad in a white shirt and a black lace mini skirt, standing outside the front gate, David Jones was somewhat surprised to greet her.

“Longtime no see!”

However, the next second, Margaret immediately accelerates and gives David a hug full of passion.

“I’m glad you’re okay!”

Hearing the concern in her voice, David stiffened slightly, then quickly put on a smile.

“There’s no need to worry, didn’t I already send word that I was safe?”

At that, Margaret let go of him and gave him an annoyed look. “You didn’t even tell us when you returned to campus. If I hadn’t seen your name on the Myrtle List and the Purple Star List, I wouldn’t have known you were back from Everlasting Island!”

At the mention of Everlasting Island, David Jones darkened. “I’m sorry, as the team leader, I failed to bring back Violet.”

The news that Violet had transformed into the spirit of the Raven armor was a top military secret, and Cloud Marshall had him sign a non-disclosure agreement, so he couldn’t leak a single word about it.

No one wants such things to happen, you shouldn’t blame yourself.” Margaret advised softly.

“I’m just a bit regretful.” David shook his head.

Quickly switching topics from the expedition to the Relic, David asked formally,

“Yes, so why were you looking for me?”

“It’s not anything important. After you were listed on both of the Rosewood Lists today, a lot of students were in an uproar.” Margaret’s voice trailed off.

“Let me check.”

David took out his mobile phone and directly logged onto the official website of Rosewood College to check the information on the Rosewood Lists.

He was also very curious as to what level he could achieve on the lists.

Third place on the Myrtle List: David Jones.

Ninth place on the Purple Star List: David Jones.

After reading both lists, David was somewhat silent.

The reason he was silent was not that his ranking was too high. On the contrary, he felt his ranking seemed a bit too low.

Although it sounded a bit exaggerated, after the relic expedition, David was sure that his strength was enough to be formidable among his generation of trainers, with only a few Class V seniors, four or five years older than him, who could match him.

“The Myrtle Double Lists change in real time, but students on it for the first time can get one month of ranking protection and thereby receive the school rewards.

Based on the credit reward, your third place on the Myrtle List can get you ten thousand credits. As for ninth on the Purple Star List, you can get five thousand credits.” Margaret said enviously.

You should know that the SS-tier Arcane Star Elixir she once coveted needs only a thousand credits, and David will get fifteen thousand credits of rewards from the Myrtle Double Lists next month.”

Don t worry about it, it’s just a ranking,” David casually tossed a Redcloud Elixir into Daphne’s mouth.

At that, Margaret looked at David, a wild thought suddenly sprang up in her heart.

“Could it be that David now has the combat power comparable to a master-level trainer?”

You should know that Fred Hoyle, who is ranked first on the Myrtle List, is a widely acclaimed master-level trainer, having achieved a Class V Arcane Star. The second -placed Richard Goodwin has also achieved Class IV apex and is a genius beast tamer who has defeated many veteran master-level trainers.

Many students think that Goodwin will achieve a V Class Arcane Star before he graduates from Class V, and then surpass Fred Hoyle, who is at the top of the list.

And since David’s Myrtle List ranking is just below them, it means that he too has the power to rival a Class V master.

“Has your Arcane Star broken through to Class V?” Questioned Margaret, staring at David, her tone somewhat incredulous.

“Cough, cough.”

David, who was drinking water, coughed twice and then looked at Margaret speechlessly. “How is that possible! My Arcane Star just broke through to Class IV a month ago, how can it break through to Class V now? Do you think I’m a god?”

“Well, not necessarily,” Margaret murmured.

In her eyes, David has created many miracles and done many things that ordinary trainers can’t do, so she has always had great confidence in him.

You re overestimating me. Given my current rate of cultivation, I will need at least a year, maybe even two or three years, before my Arcane Star can break through to Class V.” David Jones put down his water glass and smiled wryly.

While David Jones was catching up with Margaret, most of the students at Rosewood College were aware of the new rankings of Rosewood Double Lists.

For a while, the students were in a commotion, and even under the ranking list of Rosewood College, there were 999+ comments.

“Is this a joke? A freshman manages to be third in the Myrtle List his first time

there! Are you sure the university system hasn’t made a mistake?”

“Following the trend, the top student of each year’s class needs to wait for a year or two before they can enter the top too on the Myrtle List in their third or fourth year, so what makes David special?”

“What makes him special? The fact that he’s on the Myrtle List means he has incredible strength! If the college dares rank him as such, it means David must not be ordinary.”

“Every student who enters Rosewood College is a prodigy, right?” It’s no secret that a year’s gap in training could create a big difference between Beast Taming Geniuses, let alone a gap of four to five years.

When it comes to strength, I don’t even think David can stand a chance against Jackson Grant, the third ranked on the previous Myrtle List, let alone Goat Walker who is ranked tenth.”

While the energetic discussion was going on, some people believed that David was a once-in-a-millennium monstrous genius. His incredible talent for beast taming and pharmacy is even comparable to the legendary Beastmasters recorded in history.

Others, who prefer conspiracy theories, believed that although David might be talented, Rosewood College exaggerated his achievements for the purpose of creating a heroic image in order to bring forth a powerful Beastmaster who can suppress his contemporary peers.

In a spacious and delicately furnished villa, a handsome noble with black hair and eyes, dressed in a fitted shirt and black trousers, put down his phone on a desk that was polished from Arcane Crystal Mine.

Interesting, a freshman managed to claim my spot!”

This person is none other than the senior of the Beastmaster Department, Class V, ranked third on the Myrtle List, and widely known as a Class IV apex Beastmaster, Jackson Grant.

At his side, a sweet-tempered woman in a cheongsam complained resentfully, Big brother, it s too much that Rosewood College has given your spot to David without a ranking competition!”

“How many times have I told you not to rush matters!” Jackson Grant looked at the woman.

“But…”

“No buts, I don’t believe Rosewood College would boast about a weak Beastmaster.”

Jackson Grant shook his head, “To tell the truth, a prodigy who could claim the third place on the Myrtle List and ninth on the Purple Star List at the age of 19,1 would rather make friends with him than make him an enemy, do you understand?”
