SSS Grade Saint Knight - Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Achievement Task, Target: College Entrance Exam!

TL: YYang

Amidst the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd, Zhou Yi stepped down.

“Zhou Yi, well done!”

Homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang gave a thumbs up, his face flushed with excitement:

“Quickly, get back in line. You’ve really given us a surprise this time!”

In response to the teacher’s praise, Zhou Yi merely smiled slightly and then returned to the class lineup.

Just as before, he maintained a calm expression and stood straight.

Seeing this, Li Xiangyang nodded imperceptibly.

He hadn’t paid much attention to Zhou Yi before.

But now, he realized Zhou Yi indeed had something extraordinary.

After all, maintaining composure after transferring to an ultra-rare hidden profession was something most students couldn’t achieve.

“Saint Knight profession, Zhou Yi, you’re amazing!”

“Brother Yi, can you take me in your team for the college entrance exam? I want to cling to a strong player!”

“Me, me, me, and me too! I transferred to Summoner. If we team up, we can definitely score high!”

“…”

The Zhongxia Country college entrance exam was conducted in the form of dungeon runs, and teaming up was allowed.

As a healer profession, the Saint Knight was always in high demand.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Yi returned to the lineup, many people extended team invitations.

However, at that moment, his mind wasn’t on forming a team.

He gave an apologetic smile to those around him and focused his attention on the system he had just activated.

[Daily Tasks: Long Run (0KM/20KM), Power Jump (0/200), Push-ups (0/200)]

[Complete the daily tasks to choose any one of the following rewards.]

[Reward 1: Gain 10 free attribute points.]

[Reward 2: Gain 10 skill points.]

[Reward 3: Random skill book.]

[Reward 4: Random treasure chest.]

“Daily tasks? So it’s a system where you complete tasks to receive rewards.”

As a transmigrator, Zhou Yi immediately understood the system’s function.

Though the setup was simple, it was very practical.

Free attribute points, skill points, random skill books, random treasure chests.

Each of these four rewards seemed quite appealing.

Especially the free attribute points and skill points.

They were the fundamental source of a professional’s strength!

Generally, they could only be obtained through leveling up.

Of course, some rare natural treasures could also possess this ability.

But natural treasures were extremely rare, and most could only be consumed once.

He, however, could easily obtain them just by completing daily tasks.

The huge gap between the two was self-evident.

“But if it’s only daily tasks, wouldn’t this system be too monotonous?”

Zhou Yi couldn’t help but think.

As if sensing his thoughts, a system prompt appeared:

[In addition to daily tasks, there are achievement tasks and random tasks. Complete the tasks to receive corresponding rewards.]

Seeing this prompt, Zhou Yi’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, the system wasn’t as simple as he had imagined!

…

Time passed slowly, and soon, all students at the Second High School who had reached level 10 had completed their profession transfers.

In the end, Class Five had 21 students transfer to combat professions, six fewer than Class Six’s 27.

But Li Xiangyang was not the least bit unhappy; instead, he wore a constant smile.

After all, Zhou Yi’s transfer to the Saint Knight profession was a transcendental event, placing him on a completely different level from the other students.

Class Six’s homeroom teacher, Tang Tianjun, was clearly aware of this as well.

He forced a smile, listening to Li Xiangyang boast about Zhou Yi’s extraordinary performance in their class.

With the transfer ceremony over, each class returned to their classrooms.

“In this transfer ceremony, our class had 42 students, with 21 transferring to combat professions.”

“Among all the classes, our class’s number of combat profession transfers is only average, but Zhou Yi’s transfer to Saint Knight is unique in the entire Second High School!”

On the podium, homeroom teacher Li Xiangyang was summarizing.

Many students, while listening, would sneak glances at Zhou Yi, occasionally showing expressions of envy.

“With the transfer ceremony concluded, everyone is now a first-transfer professional.”

“With only a month left until the college entrance exam, I hope everyone continues to work hard, honing your professional skills to strive for good results!”

“As long as you achieve good results, whether in combat or lifestyle professions, the future is bright!”

“…”

With the transfer concluded, as third-year students, the most important task ahead was to train diligently and prepare for the college entrance exam!

Li Xiangyang was well aware of this and continuously encouraged everyone.

“Ding~”

At that moment, a system prompt sounded in Zhou Yi’s mind:

[Achievement Task: Based on the host’s college entrance exam results, you will receive a corresponding achievement reward. (Note: This reward is linked to your chosen ‘Saint Knight’ profession).]

“Achievement Task!!” Zhou Yi’s eyes narrowed.

He hadn’t even started on the daily tasks, and now there was a college entrance exam achievement task.

“It seems I’ll need to double my efforts this month.”

Before the transfer, Zhou Yi’s strength wasn’t considered strong; it could even be described as weak!

In Class Five, he was in the lower-middle range.

If not for the resources provided by the state, he might not have reached level 10 by the age of 18!

The reason was simple.

He was too poor!

Even with part-time jobs, after paying his sister’s hospital fees each month, he was left with only 700 to 800 for living expenses.

For an eighteen-year-old, who needed proper nutrition, 700 to 800 was hardly enough.

In contrast, other students not only had adequate nutrition but also consumed alchemical potions and even magical potions.

How could he possibly compete with them?

As a result, his attributes were among the weakest compared to his peers.

And this was after a year of effort and nurturing since his transmigration.

Otherwise, he would have been at the very bottom!

Now, although he had obtained an S-Rank talent and transferred to the Saint Knight profession, his foundation was too weak.

To achieve good results in the college entrance exam, he would need to put in even more effort!
