The next day in class, Isabella had an urgent announcement to make.
"Students, I have an announcement from the Dean. Starting tomorrow, there will be a Rising Star competition among the first-years on the Academy premises. Those who reach the top ten will receive a special pass to a Special Dungeon."
She paused, her expression hardening. "But do not take this chance lightly. This Dungeon is unlike any other; it is like an entrance to a Monster World. There, you can hunt as many monsters as you like and level up. You will also acquire top-notch resources."
Her eyes lingered on Adonis for longer than necessary.
"And Adonis, meet me in my office after class," she said in a serious tone.
Adonis nodded curtly.
The announcement of the Rising Star competition sent a wave of electric tension through the classroom. For most students, it was a dream of prestige; for Adonis, it was the perfect stage to begin his recruitment.
