"How high have you gone?" I asked as I looked at him and he, though a bit sceptical and confused, spoke,"about 7th floor max. Though, I am trying to reach the 8th floor by the end of this year."

I nodded at him before looking around and confirming that no one was looking at me. Once I made sure that no one was watching, I muttered,"Light Magic: One's Wisdom in God" and my face changed a little and so did my clothes slightly. With this now, I looked more like a 4th year than a first year.

Dalton made a really shocked expression as he saw the whole process going so swiftly that he couldn't even believe himself what was going on. Still, I just smiled and spoke,"since I am prepared… want to race up till the 4th floor?"

His mind hadn't even registered the change before he comprehends what he just saw before asking,"who… are you?"

I smiled before speaking,"Aidan Williamson. Now… shall we go up or not?"

He looked at me before sighing and nodding as he muttered,"I hope I am not biting more than I can chew. Lucas… you better protect me if anything goes wrong."

I heard him but didn't pay much attention before I dashed from there as fast as I could and then I used Blood Sacrifice and a couple of other skills to run even faster. In the beginning, Dalton could easily run along with me, but now he had to pull everything he had to even manage to catch up with me.

I can still go faster, but because I do not know the path to where Professor Lynn went, it would be better to let Dalton stay close. It took about 10 minutes before we both reached the fourth floor and when we reached there; I saw Dalton stopping and sweating heavily and huffing as he caught his breath.

"I thought you were stronger than that," I spoke as I observed him and his eyes twitched a little before he answered with an annoyed face,"sorry… huff…huff.. For not being a… huff… huff… a monster."

I chuckled at him as I walked towards him and touched his head and,"Life Magic: Aura of Healing," healed him completely within the next few seconds. All his tiredness vanished, and he looked at me with an even more dumbfounded gaze than before.

This time a sudden fear creeped inside him as his eyes looked at me, half shaken, and I smiled before asking,"are you sacred?"

He nodded slowly, and I muttered again,"maybe you should be scared," before gazing deep into his eyes as I moved closer to him and said,"but there are a few monsters already around you. So something like this should be normal to you, shouldn't it?"

He looked at me before realising the meaning of my words. While I am a monster of my own, I still haven't shown anything that should make me special. People like Lucas, Lucy and Elle will do things much better than me.

-Whooosh!!!! -Whosssh!!!

-Whooshss!!!

"Talk of the Devils," I muttered as I turned around to see the three of them going all out as they ran up and higher. There was Eliza, Elizabeth and Lucy going all out as they ran through the 4th floor and soon they should cross this floor as well and reach the next one.

In fact, Lucas made it to the 8th floor in one go before finally stopping.

I observed them vanishing and soon Michael too followed them from behind with a really irritated face. Looks like finding other people above him isn't sitting right with him.

"Monsters… just what kind of generation is this?" Dalton asked with his eyes really fixated on those students running up without any signs of stopping. I recalled their physical and mental state and realised that most of them would stop around the 7th floor. The only one who would be able to make it to the 8th floor should be Elizabeth.

"Well… Shouldn't we be going to Professor Lynn now?" I asked, and he turned at me, stood up straight and looked at me for a few moments before sighing and speaking,"it's nothing…. Let's go."

I was confused as to why he said that, but didn't ask anything as I moved behind him. He was constantly looking back at the top, as if trying to see the ones who had just passed by. Maybe he was really shocked by the girls' performance.

'It's not just him,' I thought as I looked around, finding everyone around making the same expression as that of Dalton. They were really shocked to find so many talents in a single generation.

I could even see them drooling at them, as they couldn't control themselves and would break any moment towards them, hoping to catch them.

'Recruitment can be a really ruthless bloodbath,' I thought as I observed the place around before Dalton and I finally reached where Professor Lynn was supposed to be.

"Don't tell me…." Dalton's eyes shook as he looked around, trying to find the Professor who was nowhere visible.

"If you are looking for Miss Lynn, then she already left… she would probably be on the 7th floor right now," one of the Professors spoke as she looked at Dalton respectfully.

"Well… let's go there then. No point in waiting here," I spoke as I started running towards the upper floor and Dalton, watching me already running, started running as well before he thanked that professor.

"We are slow… sigh… " I sighed looking at Dalton getting slower before I reached him and muttered," Life Magic: Temporary Permanence," and he saw me with a really wide eyed expression before he adapted and began running much faster than before.

Watching him going up fast, I myself increased my speed and followed behind him until we reached the 7th floor where Michael, Lucy and Eliza were huffing and trying to catch their breath. Though, Professor Lynn was still not there and I could only look at Dalton, who seemed equally confused at this.

"Hmmm…. What are the odds she went up to meet Elizabeth?" I asked with a thoughtful expression, making him look at me with an expression of ridicule as he spoke,"what do you mean someone is already up there on their first try?"

"If there is someone up, will Lynn be up there trying to recruit her?" I asked directly without beating around the bush and he first looked at my serious face, then gulped a little and finally nodded slightly as he spoke,"of course… it would be a fool's choice not to recruit someone like that."

I nodded before looking up and mutterin,"Zeroth Moon. Asteria's Regeneration. Hygeia's Blessing," before I vanished from there and reached the next floor in an instant without much of a problem.

As soon as I reached there, I saw a bunch of people circling around Elizabeth trying to talk to her, but she was too tired to even speak a single word.
