Taking the Mafia to the Magic World

Chapter 955  Instructorʼs Recommendation

”Vicente, good battle. You obviously need to go through a period of adaptation, but itʼs good that you start thinking about the rank of Outer Disciples in readiness. With your strength, you could soon enter the top 100.”

The young people next to Miles heard the group supervisor and couldnʼt help imagining that the supervisor wasnʼt exaggerating.

But some of them looked at Vicente out of the corner of their eye, with a certain curiosity, perhaps a doubt, whether he could beat one of the Outer Disciples in the top 100.

ʼThe top 100 of each of the hierarchical positions in the sect is advertised on the main channels and billboards around the city. Anyone who reaches the top 100 is a monster with the potential to go far and make a lot of coins,ʼ thought one of the young men waiting to fight.

ʼBut precisely because the top 100 is so generous, everyone capable of reaching that level is a real monster, with great cultivation, speed of comprehension and incredible pentagram configurations.ʼ

Another of these young men smiled as he saw Vicente stopping next to Miles. ”Good luck, younger brother Fuller. Reaching the top 100 is possible, but itʼs difficult.”

Vicente had already heard everything there was to know about the top 100 of each of the ranks from Prisiche, so he understood well the competition to achieve this feat full of benefits.

For all the hierarchical positions within Stonewall, the top 100 ranks always had great benefits for the members who held them. These advantages increased according to oneʼs position in the ranks, but in short, they gave bonuses on the salaries of sect members, rights to claim resources and artifacts, the right to use special training and cultivation sites, among other things.

There were missions in the sect that one could only do if oneʼs position was in the top 100 of one of the ranks. There were also certain services that were only available to members who were well placed in the ranks.

ʼTop 100, huh? For that, Iʼd have to fight battles broadcast to the entire ʼislandʼ and expose my powers to millions of magical creatures.ʼ Vicente looked in the direction of the artifacts responsible for broadcasting events.

As much as these devices were there, they werenʼt active today. In fact, with a few exceptions, training sessions like todayʼs were not broadcast. Only official fights valid for the Combat Center rankings were 100% broadcast.

This was a big negative point for those fighting, in Vicenteʼs opinion. He preferred not to have to expose his powers to the masses. However, he couldnʼt deny the temptation, since accessing the top 100 and its benefits could really make oneʼs journey in the sect much easier.

It was possible for him to increase the speed of his progress within Stonewall just by accessing a position in the top 100.

He didnʼt want to expose his powers, but he couldnʼt help wishing for what he could achieve by getting a good position in the ranks.

As for the difficulty of the mission, Vicente didnʼt care if he had to defeat monsters. His aim was to reach the peak and he would travel any tortuous and thorny path to achieve his ambitions!

”Iʼll do my best to achieve it, instructor. When can I start challenging for the rank?” Vicente stopped next to Miles, while the Healers went to deal with Bazel.

Miles shook his head as he smiled approvingly at Vicente. ”Youʼre going to accompany Enoch at the end of todayʼs training and learn more about the challenges and the rank positions. I want you to train with us for another two weeks and then challenge someone to a ranked battle.”

ʼSo, Iʼll be able to fight in about a month in Anicane. That should stabilize my strength better... Anyway, thatʼs according to my plans. Iʼll start doing my optional missions at that time too.ʼ Vicente nodded to Miles and Enoch, a 6-Star Archmage level man with serpent eyes and tongue.

”Familiarize yourself with the rank and its rules. Watch some official fights when youʼre resting. Otherwise, continue with your studies. Your power is impressive, but there are several types of opponents who are your nemeses and will be difficult to deal with.

As soon as you show yourself, these opponents will want to challenge you and beat you easily.” Miles advised, giving Vicente this important warning.

In Anicane, the magical forms were much better known than in Polaris Realm, which meant that specialists knew much more about the type of opponent that was ideal for them.

Considering the rules of the rankings and how easy victories could help to move up several positions in the rankings, many individuals followed the official fights to find easy opponents for themselves.

In the special case, nemesis opponents were those who had special powers that were in the weakness of a particular magicianʼs power. Such opponents had many advantages over their opponents and could fight even with multi-star disadvantages and still have the greatest power.

Vicente had met no one like this in Polaris Realm, but within Stonewall there were nemeses of his powers!

Vicente stood next to Prisiche and the artificial intelligence of his companions, who differed totally from each other.

Some wore humanoid appearances similar to Prisicheʼs, looking like real living beings common in Anicane. But many of the artificial intelligences had peculiar appearances.

For example, Milesʼ artificial intelligence was the glove on his right hand. Meanwhile, Enochʼs artificial intelligence was a small frog, sitting on the head of this individual with snake-like features.

This was rather curious, given Enochʼs origins...

But Vicente wasnʼt there to judge anyone, nor did he want to be judged for using the appearance of a beautiful woman in his artificial intelligence.

He stood there, listening to comments, saying little, watching the groupʼs battles that morning.

He wouldnʼt fight again today, but he would follow two other battles of his companions, individuals he would face over the next few weeks.

As long as he was under Milesʼ supervision, he would have to fight once a week against his colleagues, who were also supervised by Miles.

He would watch each fight taking mental notes, learning about his teammatesʼ powers and also about the typical characteristics of Anicane fighters.

At the end of the training sessions, he would move on with Prisiche, Enoch and this guyʼs toad, going to learn more about the ranks of the Combat Center.
