Chapter 55 - Joining the Special Forces
Harrison and Mike knew that there was no point staying anymore. They got up to leave.
Before they left, they tried to rope Vincent in one last time.
“Vincent, you can come over to St. John anytime to play! St. John’s door is always open for you.”
“If you don’t want to hang out in Quinn anymore, come to Mokissner.”
Sibis’s face turned sour. How dare they say such a thing?
“What do you mean by that? Is Quinn that bad?”
“Get lost! Get lost now!”
Sibis snapped at Harrison and Mike.
Harry and Miller, who had been silent the whole time, looked at each other and smiled. That was a load off their chests.
The two of them had been reprimanded by their respective principals countless times. They were labeled as student waste and academy vermin.
However, after this incident, they no longer felt ashamed for failing to convince Vincent to become a student of their schools.
It was unlikely that the two principals would say anything further to them.
The four of them left. Only Vincent, Sibis, and Teacher Chris were left in the principal’s office.
Sibis looked at Vincent with a gratified expression. “When do you plan on using the Awakening Stone?”
Vincent thought for a moment and answered, “I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait until I’ve stabilized my gains and cultivation from Hero City.”
“Not bad! You’re neither arrogant nor impatient. You’re indeed worthy to be my student!”
Vincent smiled faintly. Actually, he did not want to use it yet because he did not know what the effects were. If his other two S-Class superpowers were exposed, then he would be in serious trouble.
However, when he least expected it, Sibis asked him, “Vincent, in regard to your other two S-Class superpowers, is one related to monster intimacy and the other related to training?”
Vincent’s expression changed after hearing Sibis’s question. His muscles tensed up and his face was full of vigilance.
Teacher Chris who was standing at the side was shocked to the core.
When Sibis saw Vincent’s expression, he laughed out loud. He knew that he had guessed it correctly.
“Our Quinn is finally going to rise up!”
Vincent looked at Sibis warily and did not say anything.
Although he was very clear that he did not have a fighting chance against Sibis if a battle were to happen, he could not just sit around and wait for death.
“Vincent! Don’t worry. The country that you’re in is Falcon Country. Right now, you’re on Quinn’s land. You’re very safe here!”
Sibis sat down. “We only hope that rising stars like you will become stronger and stronger. No one would try to kill you after failing to rope you in.”
Vincent still did not let his guard down. He stared at Sibis. There was not a hint of pretense on his face. He slowly calmed himself down.
Teacher Chris suddenly voiced out. She was so excited that her voice was trembling. “Principal Sibis, are you saying that Vincent is a three S-Class superpower user?” asked Teacher Chris.
The news really changed her perspective of the world.
How could there be such a talented individual?
Three S-Class superpowers! There had never been someone who had three S-Class superpowers in the history of mankind.
It was no wonder that Vincent’s cultivation speed was so fast, and his control over his superpowers was so high!
Given that he had three S-Class superpowers, it was only normal for him to possess such cultivation speed.
Wait a minute!
The Awakening Stone!
If Vincent used the Awakening Stone, then he would be…
A four S-Class superpower user!
Oh my god!
Teacher Chris felt that her brain was malfunctioning. She felt dizzy and her body was shaking. If she was not leaning against the wall, she would have fallen onto the ground.
Sibis nodded at Teacher Chris and confirmed her suspicions.
Three S-Class superpowers. Even a powerhouse like Sibis who had explored the world had never heard of such a thing.
Although Vincent’s background was one of the reasons why Sibis wanted to keep him in Quinn, it was also because of his monstrous talent.
It would be a piece of cake for Vincent to become a Garrison General like him in the future.
In fact, as long as Vincent wanted to continue rising in ranks, it would not be difficult for him to become a Marshal.
After all, in the entire Falcon Country, there were only two superpowered users who have been conferred the title of a Marshal!
Vincent would definitely be the third!
He would become the pillar of Falcon Country!
Sibis was quite glad that Harrison and Mike did not discover that Vincent had three S-Class superpowers.
Otherwise, the Awakening Stone might not have been enough to make them give up the fight for Vincent.
Before they left, they did not forget to pull Vincent aside to look at the Awakening Stone.
“Vincent, just put your heart at ease. No one in the entire Falcon Country will harm you!”
“In this world, everyone has their own secrets. This is not something strange.”
Vincent felt completely at ease after hearing what Sibis had said.
He knew very well that wherever he went in the Monster Horde, the monsters would move aside for him. Moreover, his cultivation speed was indeed much faster than the average person.
As long as he was careful, he would be fine.
An ordinary person might not be able to discover anything about Vincent. They would only think that Vincent’s Hellfire superpower was very strong. However, it was impossible for a powerhouse like Sibis to not discover the truth.
After digesting all the information, Teacher Chris was finally able to control her emotions. She looked at Vincent and revealed a bitter smile.
“You hid it really well!”
“I was actually stunned by your cultivation speed. Now that I think about it, you’re so freakish. Why should I be surprised?”
“I’m really curious. As a future S-Class superpowered user, what kind of glory will you achieve?”
Vincent was still very indifferent towards Teacher Chris’s praise.
Sibis suddenly became serious. He looked at Vincent and said, “Previously, Johnny wanted you to join Hero City and become the Squadron Leader of the Special Forces. What are your thoughts on this matter?”
Vincent told him his thoughts. Sibis burst into laughter after listening to Vincent.
“Vincent, there’s a problem with how you think. Why do you want to leave Quinn just because you joined Hero City?”
Vincent was stunned.
What did he mean by that? He would be a member of Hero City if he became the Squadron Leader.
How could he join Hero City without leaving Quinn?
Sibis explained, “Hero City was originally built by us, Quinn. Naturally, it is under our control.”
“Many senior students would join Hero City to gain experience. At the same time, it can also be considered as a career path after graduation.”
“As for Hero City’s Special Forces, there are no restrictions. They will only gather together when there is a Monster Horde.”
“When you have class, you can return to the academy to study. When you have nothing to do, you can also go to Hero City to spar with everyone and get to know them better.”
After hearing Sibis’s explanation, Vincent suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Teacher Chris’s expression changed. She quickly asked Principal Sibis, “Principal Sibis, isn’t the Special Forces too dangerous for Vincent? He’s just a beginner-level superpowered user!”
Sibis waved his hand. “It’s true that he’s a beginner-level superpowered user, but do you think that his combat ability is something that a beginner-level superpowered user would have?”
“Besides, the Special Forces are all future powerhouses. Being together with them will make Vincent feel more pressured. This is a good thing for him.”
“Or do you think that the people in our academy can give him pressure?”
“Only with pressure can one grow. Although Vincent has always been hard-working in his training, this kind of growth is too slow for him.”
Teacher Chris thought about it and felt that what Sibis said was true. She looked at Vincent who was eager to give it a try and patted her forehead.
She had forgotten that this guy was a battle maniac like Chris!
As for the Special Forces, Vincent understood that there were only two main tasks.
One was to hunt high-level monsters to ensure that the monsters around Hero City were not high-level.
His other task would arise if there was a Monster Horde. He would be responsible for killing high-level monsters.
Other than that, there was really nothing else.
In addition, the Special Forces was full of strong people. They would at least be stronger than most of the students in Quinn. Naturally, Vincent wanted to be with the stronger people.
Moreover, the system also encouraged him to only kill monsters that were high-level. This was because the rewards for high-level monsters were more generous. Vincent was eager to give it a try.
“I agree to join the Special Forces!”
