265 The World is Unfair



Evan sat down near the front row of the aeroplane where most of the teachers were sitting, so that he won't have to deal with some random dude.

When all the students sat down the seat beside Evan was still unoccupied.

Well, it's a common thing for students to sit further away from the teachers when going on a school trip, right? So no one sat beside him.

After all the students sat down and the plane was about to take off Edward came and sat beside him.

Evan was not bothered when Edward sat beside him because he has a good impression of him. After all, the last time when Olivia suddenly attacked him, it was Edward who stopped her.

"How have you been this past month?" Edward asked him in a friendly tone after sitting down.

"Pretty good I think, I took a vacation to escape the attention brought by a certain individual," Evan said while shrugging his shoulders. He knew Edward asked him that question because of the articles that were published.

"From your relaxed tone it looks like you enjoyed your vacation quite a bit, but you are still D+ rank even after all this time," Edward said and looked at him with a smile, "were you slacking off all this time after the examination ended?"

"You should know the tournament between the academy is not far away, and you will be one of the students who will represent our academy"

"So I don't think it is a good thing for you to waste your time like this"

Evan's body stiffened after hearing Edward, he can't tell him the truth the he was busy increasing the rank of his other core.

And from his past life experience, he knew lame excuses never work in front of teachers.

He was thinking about what he should say when suddenly a good idea came into his mind, and he said while shaking his head

"You are mistaken, Professor Edward. I was not slacking off"

"As you know, I have a physique called shadow physique. When I awakened my physique I was able to increase my rank very quickly. In just one month I reached D+ rank from the F rank"

"Because of increasing my rank so fast my core was destabilized, now I am waiting for my core to stabilize again before I can increase my rank. It should be stabilized in a few days and I will be able to break through to C rank after that"

Hearing Evan an understanding look appeared on Edward's face. Most of the people who saw Evan's file still think that he has shadow physique which he awakened not long ago.

Before awakening his physique he was just an F rank hunter, but after awakening it he reached D+ rank in a very short period of time.

Edward also knows about this so he was fully convinced by what Evan just said.

"So that's how it is, my bad, I thought you were slacking off after getting the first position in the exam," Edward said in an apologetic tone.

"By the way, to fight against the monster tide, you will be assigned a position according to your rank. But I know you can fight against C and C+ rank monsters without much problem, so do you want me to help you change your position to the area of C and C+ rank monsters, or do you want to stay in the area of D and D+ rank" Edward asked Evan.

"Actually," Evan said while scratching the back of his head, "I want you to assign me to the area of B and B+ rank monsters"

"Okay area of B an_" Edward stopped speaking midway and looked at him with his eyes wide open.

"Kid, do you want to die?" Edward asked Evan while trying his best to not give him a good beating. He was just a D+ rank hunter but he wanted to fight against B and B+ rank monsters.

"I saw how you were nearly eliminated by Valery and Leon during the examination. They were just two B rankers, but you were not able to do anything against them and now you want to fight against B and B+ rank monsters. Are you insane?"

"Professor I know what you are thinking, but you don't have to worry. I am not someone who will do something that will put me in danger. Since I am asking you to assign me to the area of B and B+ rank monsters I naturally have confidence in dealing with them" Evan said to Edward in a confidence-filled voice.

"You will not do anything that will put you in danger?" Edward said while looking at him like he just heard a good joke.

He still remembers how Evan threaten Olivia even though he was still a D+ rank noob at that time.

He wanted to refuse him because sending a D+ rank hunter to fight against a B rank monster is like sending him to his death. But seeing how Evan was looking at him confidently Edward was not able to refuse him immediately.

"Alright, I can assign you to that area but first you will have to show me you have enough strength to protect yourself in that area. Without enough strength fighting against B and B+ rank monsters will just spell your doom" Edward said while sighing.

Seeing Evan's confident-filled look, he also wanted to know what is the thing that is giving him the confidence to fight against B and B+ rank monsters while being only a D+ rank hunter.

"It is nothing special actually," Evan said while scratching his head.

Before leaving for Naphliam city, he was thinking about sneaking away to fight against B and B+ rank monsters since Cole told them they will be assigned positions according to their ranks.

But now that Edward is willingly giving him an easier route, there is no way he is going to miss it.

"Because of my physique, I have a skill that allows me to summon one B+ rank monster to fight for me, with the help of this monster I am confident enough in surviving in that area"

After hearing Evan, Edward just looked at him without any expansions on his face for some time.

Evan felt strange seeing how Edward was looking at him but he did not say anything else.

After around one minute Edward rubbed his temples and said, "I think I am working too much for the past few days. Because of exhaustion I just heard you said can summon a B+ rank monster. Sorry, but can you once again repeat what you just said"

Evan's mouth can't help but twitch after hearing Edward but he once again repeated the same thing.

After repeating when he looked at Edward once again he saw for some reason Edward's eyes became hollow.

"Um, Professor Ed_"

"Don't talk to me" Evan wanted to ask him if he is alright but Edward cut him short.

Currently, he did not want to talk to anyone.

He still remember how he has to run away even if he encountered a C+ rank monster when he was a D+ rank hunter.

But here Evan is saying he can summon a B+ rank monster to fight for himself.

'Why I was not born with this kind of broken physique?' Edward thought while holding himself back to not curse out loud.

'The world is truly unfair'
