"Dongyun High School has it!!"
"The top scorer is basically a sure thing!!"
At this moment, Principal Fang was visibly losing his composure, his excitement still not fading.
Heaven must have mercy.
Dongyun High School, as an established school, didn't stand out much among the major key high schools in Jiangnan.
The best ranking in the school's history was only eighth place.
But that was more than twenty years ago. Since Principal Fang took over, the school's best results kept declining. If it weren't for maintaining the number of students above the admission line, he might have lost his position by now.
Now, at the moment when the nation's compulsory education support was showing its first fruits,
the number of candidates exceeded the total of the previous two years combined, making this year's college entrance exam especially unique and important.
If the Jiangnan Province top scorer was taken by Dongyun High School, the school would skyrocket in reputation, and the Education Bureau's resources would be heavily tilted toward it in the coming years.
Indirectly, this would benefit many more students from Dongyun City in the future.
Principal Fang was over seventy. Although he still looked vigorous, his mind was no longer young.
Having retired from the front line over twenty years ago without any further advancement in strength, he only wanted to leave his name in educational history, hoping to benefit more Dongyun students while satisfying his craving for fame.
Now, this dream was getting closer and closer, almost within reach.
"Principal, a call from the Education Bureau."
The secretary ran over holding a phone.
Apparently, the news couldn't be kept secret any longer.
Principal Fang cleared his throat, composed himself again, and took the call.
At this moment, the screen was still locked on Yun Chen. The entire audience was guessing what the reward for clearing the dungeon would be.
"Not sure... but the higher the rating, the better the reward. There must be free attribute points and skill points, which are exactly what an Unclassed Drifter needs most."
"Look, equipment dropped—two pieces of golden-quality gear."
Even the teachers were somewhat envious at this moment.
After all, none of them had many golden-quality items.
"Something's wrong... the stone pedestal is collapsing."
"Wait... there's suddenly a hole in the ground. Could this be a hidden level?"
Now even the proctors' faces changed dramatically.
Some dungeons do have hidden levels.
But nobody had ever heard of anyone triggering a hidden level in the Goblin Dungeon. So the question was, what was the trigger condition?
From previous examples, he strangely guessed it might be clearing it without taking damage on the highest difficulty.
"He's going down..."
Regardless, the "male lead" on the screen jumped down, entering the second level of the dungeon.
As soon as he landed, he was in an endlessly long underground corridor. Soon after, his figure appeared in a side chamber filled with sleeping goblins.
Even though it was a hidden level, no one worried because the teachers had explained that it was still a bronze-tier dungeon and wouldn't be much stronger.
Everyone had also witnessed Yun Chen instantly killing a captain in seconds, so naturally, they didn't doubt his safety.
In fact...
Yun Chen was dealing with the second underground city even more quickly and simply.
He raised his staff and skipped all chanting and hand gestures, frantically casting instant-cast spells.
"Fireball."
Under his command, fireballs launched non-stop.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten fireballs unleashed utter devastation, turning the entire side chamber into a sea of flames.
Seventy or eighty goblins perished in the firestorm, melting into ashes under the fierce blaze.
"Damn!!"
"What is going on!!"
Every student and teacher in the audience widened their eyes in disbelief.
Even Principal Fang gaped in shock, looking utterly incredulous.
"This is instant-cast magic..."
"God, mages only start casting low-level spells instantly after their second class advancement... and this guy is doing it now..."
The most infuriating part was: this bastard wasn't even a mage!
A teacher who taught magic-related courses raged silently.
"This is obviously part of the dungeon clearing reward. Maybe he gained a new talent... something related to magic."
This was also obvious to everyone.
After all, everyone still vividly remembered Yun Chen's performance on the first floor.
Although he was able to cast steadily and quickly on the move, it was still different from instant casting.
Before this, he had to chant and make gestures!!
Now, those steps were gone.
"Damn, this talent is super important for a drifter like him. All these are basic skills—awesome! Many magic skills are basically default instant-cast!"
After the teacher's explanation, everyone grew even more envious.
An Unclassed Drifter who mastered hundreds of low-level skills from all classes now also gained the talent to instantly cast basic magic.
It was like adding wings to a tiger.
Most importantly, magical power wasn't limited to the mage class.
Many other classes also used mana, summoners being the most typical example.
"I'm so jealous I'm dumbfounded..."
"This Unclassed Drifter is even firing a spell machine gun. Where does that leave me, a first-advancement mage?"
