Chapter 323 - Chapter 323 Chapter 274 Come at the Substitute for Any Issue_3

Chapter 323: Chapter 274: Come at the Substitute for Any Issue_3 Chapter 323: Chapter 274: Come at the Substitute for Any Issue_3 This made sense. If an S rating was easy to achieve and career assessment tasks were easy to trigger, wouldn’t every operator have a dozen professions in the later stages?

Ash even came up with an introduction like this, “Standing before you is the Storm Mad Dancer, the White Flame atop graves, the Lord of the Sword wielding the Death Scepter, the exterminator of the Fish-Slicing Dragon… The Death Mad Sword Maiden with twenty-three professions!”

Although there were no surprises, the Sword Maiden’s growth did not disappoint Ash. However, as soon as Ash opened the growth report of the Black and White Witch, his good mood for the day came to an end.

“Black and White Witch’s Growth Report 5.3~5.9”

“Spirit Faction: Silver – Silver”

“Fist Claw Faction: Gold – Gold”

“Time Faction: Silver – Silver”

“Water Technique Faction: Silver – Silver”

“Magic Power: Gold One-winged – Gold Two-winged”

“Training Evaluation: B!”

“Due to the B grade rating, the Death Mad Sword Maiden receives a profession enhancement from the Mage’s Handbook: Extermination Follower!”

“Extermination Follower: Damage against group knowledge creatures increased by 5%.”

Only a B rating!?

It was the first time Ash received such an evaluation–this wasn’t a slap on the Witch’s backside, it was a slap in his face!

But immersed in the water, he quickly calmed down. Previously, the Sword Maiden was a blank slate starting from scratch, with rapid leveling and naturally high evaluations. But the Witch started off as a two-winged, her main faction reaching the Golden Level, and having a few sub-factions, it was impossible to achieve significant progress in a short time, let alone the fact that she was under the “Curse of the Bronze Dragon” and could not train normally, only able to entertain daily.

This week, if the Sword Maiden hadn’t elevated her Sword Technique Faction to Gold Level, her evaluation would probably also be a B.

That is to say, from next week on, if the operators don’t make progress like “a significant increase in Magic Power” or “elevation of a faction to Gold Level,” they could only receive a B or even a C rating.

Should I draw cards? Ash looked at his savings and heaved a sigh of sorrow borne from poverty.

These days, the revenue from the Technique Spirits for Ash and the others wasn’t much; they were mostly collecting materials to feed the Technique Spirits. Moreover, after Ash was promoted to two-winged, the recycling price for one-winged Technique Spirits became 5 points, and for two-winged Technique Spirits it was 10 points. After a week’s accumulation, he only had 211 points, still a ways from the next double bonus of 328.

As for this week’s training strategy, it of course remained as usual, the Witch continued to entertain, and the Sword Maiden continued to train… Ash paused, recalling that he seemed to have promised the Sword Maiden to arrange an entertainment activity for her.

The Sword Maiden had three action points; entertainment consumed two action points, and having already played, Ash wouldn’t be so heartless as to make her continue training.

Mainly because the training effect after entertainment wouldn’t be too good, much like playing games in the restroom while on a break, then going back to work with your mind still on how you could have played better in that last game.

So it was entertainment + rest, letting the Sword Maiden enjoy the rose-colored campus life for once.

So, on which day should the Sword Maiden take a break?

Ash thought about it and decided to set “Rose Day” for tomorrow, the 11th.

He originally planned to set it for today, but today was a bit special. To avoid accidents, it was still best for the Sword Maiden to stick to the usual school training.

After setting the training strategy, Ash went back to his room to change clothes. When he came out, he found everyone gathered in the living room, and it did not seem like they were there for breakfast.

“Ash, you arrived just in time,” said Igula. “Make a choice.”

“Do you like this?” Igula handed over a pharmaceutical bottle filled with dreamy, misty pink liquid.

“Or do you prefer this?” Liss raised a blood-stained Wolf Fang Club.

“Or perhaps this?” Hanna twirled a pair of silver handcuffs.

Handcuffs + Wolf Fang Club + aphrodisiac =?

Ash’s mind raced, and he immediately activated his Technique Spirit, summoning a Substitute. The Substitute took a combat stance, ready to go through fire and water for Ash–

“If you have any grievances, take it out on the Substitute, please don’t mess with me!”

Substitute: …
