Chapter 414
Chapter 414: The final semester of school.
Almost 2 years later, Blake was still dominating in exams, tests, and ranked matches, but he was no longer at the top in overall points.
During the 2nd year, Blake felt that he had wasted a year of his life, and the worse part was that he still had no leads on his purpose in infinite realm.
So he had decided to skip every class except for forgemastery and combat classes with Zirrack So that he could focus more on his life as an adventurer.
This meant he didn’t get points for attendance and class exercises, pushing Lucian and Damon who were not far from him to 1st and 2nd position respectively.
Blake felt it was more than worth it because he had completed a lot of missions and was currently a famous B-rank adventurer.
As for Castiel and Brian, they weren’t as strong as Blake. So they decided to focus more on their studies and joined Blake in missions once in a while, but they were still at the C rank.
In the case of tests, exams, and even ranked battles against Luciano, Blake was still dominating. Even though everyone in the elite class had advanced to the Hero they were still no match for him.
.....
Not only did Blake have a head start but also he had a high-level advancement and was currently in the mid-tier of the Hero realm.
Unlike the warrior and champion realm where one could skim through by absorbing energy from beast cores, the hero realm had a requirement to enter the next tier.
For Blake to enter the mid-tier of the Hero realm, his mastery over all of his elements had to reach a certain level. As for entering the peak hero realm he needed to understand nature and part of its laws.
It was during this period that Blake created 2 new fusion spells.
The first was fiery charge, which was another fire and lightning fusion spell that used the lightning element to increase the speed and the penetrative properties of solid flames.
The 2nd fusion spell was spatial call. It was a fusion spell between the space, fire, and lightning elements. Using the locator spell Blake could conjure spells, including fusion spells into a spatial corridor, without the need to open an entrance. This made his attacks more deadly and unpredictable.
The all-round growth Blake had made everyone wonder how he was growing so fast even with his absence from school. They had no idea of the system and the important role it played in his growth.
The system knew a lot of things, including most of what they were being taught in school. So after telling the system his intentions, it agreed that it was a necessary decision and had decided to help him.
When they got into 3rd and final year in the magic school, Blake was forced to fully return to school. This was because the 3rd year was different from the previous years.
The school took a further step to introduce them into the real world. Their 1st-semester exam had them moving to the outskirts of the Malock desert where they raided a ruin.
The ruin was scouted beforehand and was monitored, but unlike the previous exams where the school always saved students in danger, no one would come to their rescue.
After killing countless beasts and disarming hundreds of traps in the ruin, Blake’s team came out victorious once again.
9 students ended up dying from beasts and traps in the ruin, but no one blamed Principal Lovren this time because the students made very poor decisions.
At the end of the 1st semester, there were only 115 students in the elite class, but that reduced to 82 after their second exam.
(AN: Filling of the deceased elite class students was no longer possible because the skill difference only enlarged as the years went by.)
The 2nd exam was just a few days after the city had defended against the beast tide. They were sent deep into the forest and were tasked to build and defend an outpost from scratch.
The students were informed 2 weeks prior of the task, and that they were to work as a single team which would be led by Blake and Luciano.
During that period, Blake and Luciano who studied the location began assigning tasks to students of different specializations.
Forgemastery students were to craft defensive magical equipment like mid-tier mana cannons, magic towers and mortars, alchemists explosives and support potions, etc.
On the day of the exam, once they were warped to the area, the geomancers constructed the outpost according to the blueprint given by Blake.
The beast tide wasn’t as difficult as the one they partook in their first year, so there were not many problems clearing each wave of beasts that came at them.

The exam was scheduled to last for 3 days, and even at the end of the 2nd day there was still no issue thanks to Blake’s plans and preparations, but everything changed on the 3rd day.
Some of the nobles had not only sabotaged some of their weapons during their night shift, but they had also refused to participate in battle arrays.
This caused a breach in the walls of the outpost and led to the death of 11 students.
Blake expected something like this and had created countermeasures but they weren’t enough to save everyone.
The 22 nobles thought that they would get a light slap on the wrist as usual, but not only were they expelled from the magic school, but they were also charged to the court of law and sentenced to prison, while some were executed.
Normally, some of them would have used their family background to get them out of trouble, but with the presence of Luciano, none escaped judgement.
