MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 101: Mission Impossible

One week went by since Anthony and his muscle men came back from the floating island.

Everyone has gone back to their normal boring schedule of classes, train, take on a mission, sleep, read, repeat.

Anthony got up from his sleep and went through his normal morning routine, then left his room.

Today he decided to do something different.

He has decided to take a mission.

Anthony has never taken any mission since he came to the Academy domain, he simply saw no need for them as he was too lazy to move his body while he could make money by placing bets while lying down.

He walked around the Academy and arrived at the mission hall like he has always been coming here.

He looked around and saw people walking around and looking through missions they wanted to take.

He walked to a clerk and proceeded to ask some questions.

”Hello, I want to take up a mission”

The clerk who was busy typing on her computer didnʼt raise her head and simply waved her hand and a heads up display appear before Anthony.

”This is the list of all the available missions, pick one and I will register it”

The Academy lumped all missions together, they didnʼt bother to grade it or anything.

All missions had a clear requirement, like being a S ranker before attempting and all that, they didnʼt obstruct those that want to court death.

If a B ranker took a mission that clearly stated it needs the S rank and died during the mission, it didnʼt concern the Academy.

They donʼt raise idiots or people who overestimate themselves.

But of course they would look into your death, if its normal then you are added to the list of arrogant and idiotic corpse.

If its not normal, the Academy would exert revenge no matter who it is.

So its an unspoken rule amongst everyone not to touch students while they are in the Academy domain or school is still on.

Anthony scrolled through the mission, but he didnʼt see anything that could make him move or even feel motivated.

Of course to him these were garbage mission, to others they were death flags.

”Do you have any better missions, I didnʼt find anything I like”

Anthony said as he looked the the clerk who still had her eyes on her screen.

”Name, Year, Class, Year rank”

The clerk said in a reply to Anthony.

”Null Anthony, first year, S Class, 1st rank”

The clerk fingers froze on her keyboard as her eyes widened in shock as she looked up to Anthonyʼs face.

Who didnʼt know who Anthony was, the Academy written exam record breaker, ridiculous talent, outrageous mana zone, lazy first ranker, highest amount of points spent in the Academy cafeteria record holder with a two million points margin, hasnʼt taken a single mission but seems to be the richest.

There was simply no one in the entire Academy who didnʼt know of the name ʼNULL ANTHONYʼ the Demon Nemesis.

Of course there are still haters and arrogant ones who thinks all Anthonyʼs prestige was built on lies and didnʼt want to believe the videos they saw online.

It has to be said that, even though the Academy takes in a thousand student per year and the graduation requirements was SS rank, many students donʼt actually graduate from the Omini-peak Academy after the third year.

Even having a double digit graduate was a tremendous miracle.

Normally just at most three to five people graduate from the Omini-peak Academy after moving from the first year to the third year.

So once the third year ends and you didnʼt meet the SS rank requirement then you are kicked out and wonʼt get a certificate.

This is how ridiculously hard it is to cultivate, so donʼt compare Anthonyʼs generation with others as they are in their own league.

Even if others donʼt get a certificate after getting kicked out, the knowledge they acquired remains intact, the teaching and everything they have learnt would help them on the their journey for quiet sometime and those around them.

This is why people still send their children to the Academy knowing fully well they wonʼt graduate, but lasting till the end of the third year alone was already a tough feat, as it came with countless benefits, just the fact that you lasted that long was a door of opportunity on itʼs own, adding that to the connections you made during your time in the Academy, its a total killing.

(Back to the mission hall)

The clerk looked at Anthonyʼs blue eyes and was instantly swallowed by it as she fell into a daze but she regained her composure in about ten seconds.

”With your fame and strength, indeed you deserve better missions”

Immediately she was done speaking, she waved her hand again and the heads up display changed.

It went from the shining blue to blood red like it was giving off a warning and ominous feeling.

The words were written in black ink further intensify ominous feeling anyone would receive.

This heads up display contains the top ten ʼImpossibleʼ missions.

Of course in a sense itʼs possible, if not it wonʼt even be there to begin with, but they are called impossible because of the stringent requirements.

Only people who could battle across ranks touched this type of missions.

Even the tenth mission which was the weakest on the list required a battle prowess of SSS- rank at least, which was quite theatrical.

Graduation requirement of SS- rank, but dishing mission of SSS- rank minimum.

The Impossible mission list has always been updated because; [1] once in few years, someone would complete one or two missions, showing how ridiculously talented they were to battle across ranks and [2] because the Academy just completes the mission itself if its been there for a long time, or other guilds and organisations outside the Academy completes it before the Academy does.

But.... throughout the history of the Academy, nobody has ever completed the mission ranked fifth to first.

Those who have tried either died or survived by running away with their life saving treasure.

Such is how hard these missions were, the higher the ranking, the harder it gets.

So on the impossible mission list, the top five stood unshaken and consumed the lives of many genius students over the years.

Anthonyʼs father had challenged every single mission from the tenth to the first.

He was a battle maniac, there was no way he would not challenge the mission, if the Academy added it to their mission list, then there was a possibility it was doable, these were his thoughts at that time.

Null Michael single handedly cleared all five lower missions from tenth to the sixth.

Each all ridiculously strong and difficult, always coming back with his life hanging on a thread.

But as a battle maniac, all those battle that put him on the brinks of death made him stronger whenever he came back from the brinks of death.

This is a cheat exclusive to battle maniacs where one slip up means death.

But even after it all, Null Michael still failed the fifth ranked mission and had to be saved by his father Null Collins.

Null Collins knowing the death rate of the impossible mission wonʼt allow his son to court death, and who better to ensure his sonʼs life other than himself.
