"Cool!!"
"That was insanely cool!"
"That finishing move was absolutely gorgeous! He instantly took down over a dozen injured goblins—what a clean sweep!"
Death is like the wind—
Always by my side.
In that moment, the Unclassed Drifter moved like drifting wind, appearing and vanishing without a trace. His blade flashed, and more than a dozen heads flew through the air.
So cool!
Cool to the extreme!
Just this one scene was enough for video editors and content creators to clip and uplit across all major platforms and apps—it would easily hit a million views, no doubt about it.
"I got it! I got it on video! Perfect recording!"
In the stands, several first- and second-year students had long raised their phones to capture footage.
After all, it was extremely rare to see an Unclassed Drifter appear during the high school entrance exams. Originally, they'd only meant to collect funny clips of this rare class, but unexpectedly, they captured a godlike performance instead.
"Something's off… Windstep Slash is a basic pre-skill for Magic Swordsmen or Swordmasters. It doesn't normally have a cooldown reset effect after a kill."
"Also..."
"That Windstep Slash was way too powerful."
Many of the students observing the test had already finalized their career plans. Quite a few were planning to be Swordmasters or Magic Swordsmen and quickly realized something was amiss with the power level of Yun Chen's skill.
"Not just that—his swordsmanship is precise. Every strike hits a vital point. Not a single move is wasted."
The homeroom teachers and instructors present also picked up on the refined, lethal precision in Yun Chen's swordplay.
Just like how he landed those Fireballs with pinpoint accuracy, his combat style was fluid and flawless—masterful beyond his age.
"What's the story behind his skills?"
By now, Principal Fang had sat up straight, no longer angry but instead curiously asked Class 3's homeroom teacher.
Jin Sheng hurried over and respectfully replied, "Yun Chen's awakened talent is 'All-Rounder'—it allows any skill he learns to be boosted by two grades in aptitude."
"However…"
"It caps out at a maximum quality of C+."
Between the ages of twelve and fifteen, some individuals experience talent awakenings.
For example, if someone awakens with magical proficiency or rapid mana regeneration, they naturally pursue magical careers.
If someone awakens with increased physical attack speed or higher critical chance, they choose Warriors or Swordmasters.
There are even special life-skill related talents.
In other words, an awakened talent heavily influences one's future career path.
"What a shame."
Upon hearing this, Principal Fang shook his head silently.
"This talent has no long-term value—he won't go far. It's not viable."
He delivered his verdict easily.
Jin Sheng gave a bitter smile but didn't dare to object.
Truth be told, Yun Chen's talent was indeed awkward. While it could raise a skill's aptitude by two levels, it could only reach a maximum of C+—a low ceiling that essentially cut off any high-tier potential.
After Second Advancement, most class-specific skills started at C- grade by default. That meant Yun Chen's talent would become obsolete, offering no further benefit.
"No wonder he chose to be an Unclassed Drifter…"
Someone muttered.
After all, low-tier skills across all classes were mostly E-grade by default. The more you learned, the more it seemed to match the All-Rounder talent.
But the real question remained: what about the future?
The Unclassed Drifter class wasn't sustainable—just like his capped-out talent.
And yet… he was too brilliant.
On-screen, Yun Chen's dungeon run continued to play live.
Down the long corridor were five successive waves of enemies—all Goblin Guards.
Under the flickering glow of the fire pillars along the walls, goblins armed with shields and stone axes hurled themselves forward toward the approaching figure.
Yet the human figure never stopped running.
As before, he led with Fireballs to clear the way, then rapidly dashed forward using Windstep Slash, drifting like a breeze while slicing through the ranks of wounded goblins.
[Windstep Slash (C+)]: Dash toward a target cloaked in wind. The next sword strike gains +30% damage and +30% attack speed.
(If the enemy is successfully executed, the cooldown resets, allowing the wind to carry the user to the next target.)
In this Nightmare-level dungeon, five waves meant a hundred Goblin Guards.
And yet, in less than a minute, they dropped like wheat at harvest—cut down in sweeping arcs.
"Ugh…"
The final goblin let out a groan, having already dropped its weapon.
It clutched its throat tightly, but blood still poured between its fingers.
The last strike hadn't just cut the throat—it nearly severed its entire neck.
There was no stopping that kind of bleeding.
Thud.
The final Goblin Guard collapsed to the ground.
The tall, handsome human figure had already stopped running.
Because he had reached the end of the corridor—a tightly shut dungeon gate.
It was obvious that another brutal battle awaited him once he opened it.
Only then did the dashing figure come to a pause.
He smoothly sheathed his blade into his staff-slot…
Then calmly cast Mana Regeneration on himself.
Everything was still being brasted live on the big screen.
"Uhh… that's just too cool."
In the stands, someone finally broke the stunned silence.
When Yun Chen cut through four waves of monsters while cloaked in drifting wind, his elegant, near-mythical performance had left the crowd breathless, fists clenched in excitement.
Just like the first wave—
One strike, one kill.
Not a single follow-up slash was ever needed.
If that first wave was just coincidence, the subsequent waves were clear proof of this person's combat intuition and talent.
"He's a sword genius. And his Fireball precision is borderline absurd. This guy has innate combat instincts—he was born to fight."
"Jin Sheng, how could you hide a talent like this from us...?"
The homeroom teachers from Class 1 and 2—the elite Rocket Classes—were visibly annoyed now, blaming Jin Sheng for concealing such a promising seedling.
Normally, elite students would be sent to the Rocket Classes.
But seeing Yun Chen today, it was clear they had missed a real genius.
"I gave you the full list of promising students from Class 3, and Yun Chen was on it. But once you saw his awakening talent on paper, none of you picked him. And now you're blaming me?"
Jin Sheng, normally the agreeable type, couldn't help but retort.
His words carried a subtle jab at Principal Fang too—
Just reading a résumé can't show you the kind of overwhelming combat presence this young man had.
At that moment, Jin Sheng finally understood Yun Chen a bit better...
Yes!
For someone who could pick up weapons and immediately master them—
Choosing just one class would be a waste of his talent.
He was a true combat all-rounder, skilled in everything, capable of anything!
How could someone like that let class restrictions chain down their natural-born instincts?
On the surface, it looked like his talent had dictated his class.
But in reality—it was his battle sense that had led him to this path...
Only an Unclassed Drifter can truly unleash his talent to its fullest potential.
