Endless Leveling Done Right!

Chapter 221: The Less People That Know About This The Better

Inside the Mistral Weave Forest, a week before the Inter-Class Battle Royale...

”Good job everyone,” a Third Year said with a smile. ”We’ve finally finished everything.”

”Man, that was a lot of work.” Another Third Year massaged his shoulder. ”I can’t believe it took us two weeks to plant these talismans all over the forest. Certainly the most digging I’ve done in my whole life. The First Years better have a lot of fun this year.”

”It wasn’t that bad. I’m glad the Student Council hired us. And they weren’t stingy with the pay at all, so we really shouldn’t complain.” A young lady sighed. ”Though burying nearly a thousand talismans around the forest in specific locations was indeed hard work.”

”Let’s just go and eat. I’m hungry.”

”Yeah. A break sounds good right now.”

”What are we waiting for? Are you also coming with us, rookie?”

”No,” a young man replied. ”I still have a few more talismans to put in place. You guys go first. I’ll catch up later.”

”Just make sure you finish this quickly, okay?”

”Of course. See you later, Seniors.”

After the Third Years bade him goodbye, the young man—whom many mistook as a young lady—smirked.

”Finally, it’s almost complete,” Vaan Damne said softly. ”I can’t wait to see the look on the Headmaster’s face after he sees the fate of his beloved students.”

The young man gave the red crystal in his hand one last look before burying it in the ground near his feet.

His hand moved, rapidly forming a series of various signs. A faint ripple of magic soon spread across the entirety of the Mistral Weave Forest as he successfully imbued Rune Magic into the ground.

After finishing his work, Vaan visited three more locations and did the same thing.

He then left the forest in a good mood, looking forward to the most anticipated event that would serve as the grand welcome for the First Years.

After Vaan left the location where he buried the last crystal, Dim Dim and some of its monkey friends came out of their hiding places on top of several trees.

Dim Dim and the monkeys bit on the cookies that Fran had baked for them earlier today. They chewed thoughtfully as they observed the faint ripples of magic that were spreading on the ground.

After the Dim Sum God finished eating, it jumped off. A few of its monkey friends followed. Vaan was long gone by now, so they started digging into the ground to locate the red crystal.

Dim Dim eyed the red crystal with distaste before taking out a blue magic crystal from its dimensional storage and casually tossing it into the hole.

The monkeys then covered the hole once more, patting the ground properly to make it look even.

Lotte then appeared beside them with her hands resting on her waist.

”How did Alex know about this, Dim Dim?” Lotte asked.

”Dim Dim!”

”He’s a Seer?”

”Dim!”

”He doesn’t look like one.”

The Dim Sum God giggled, knowing that Alex was not really a Seer. Still, it was the perfect cover to justify him knowing many things in advance without being suspicious. Besides, Seers did not have a particular look that made them easily identifiable.

”Is that really the last one?” Lotte asked.

”Dim!”

”Okay.” Lotte’s relief was evident. ”But I can’t believe he has so many magic crystals. Alex must have spent a fortune buying them all.”

Dim Dim shook its head and explained that the magic crystals Alex used had been farmed inside the Chrono Maze.

The young man had originally planned to auction them for gold coins, but he changed his mind.

In order for his plan to work, he needed the magic crystals to build their trump card for the Battle Royale.

”Well, then. Let’s go back, Dim Dim.” Lotte picked up the little bun, who waved to its simian friends and bade them goodbye.

The Crimson-Furred Throwing Monkeys waved back and promised to keep watch for any more disturbances in the forest.

When Lotte and Dim Dim arrived at the clock tower, they saw Alex looking at the magical map of the Mistral Weave Forest, lost in thought.

”Dim Dim!”

”We’re back.”

Dim Dim and Lotte announced their arrival, breaking the young man out of his daze.

”Welcome back,” Alex greeted. ”Good work, the two of you.”

”Ahem!” Dim Dim raised its body proudly, making Lotte giggle.

She then glanced at her original body, who was currently wearing pink pajamas as she slept peacefully on the bed.
