Calla looked around the room as if her eyes were searching for something. She then saw James who was trying his best to run away and moved quickly to grab his shoulder. In that moment James knew deep down that he was in a very tight situation.
"Are you the one who is said to have revealed this story to the public?" she whispered to him in a very suggestive tone. That moment James who fully knew Calla's behavior was confident that there was no way out.
"James Avion at your service may I please know your name and affiliation." Although he knew everything about her, he had to remain in full character. Calla was fairly appeased by the way James introduced himself and asked about her personal information.
"I go by the name Calla Grey and as for affiliation I am the head of the disciplinary committee. You have greatly impressed me for how you solved the solution without using emotion and only physical evidence so I Calla Grey would like to recruit you rank 1 of the first years to join the disciplinary committee."
This was something that James could have never guessed to have happened. The reason was obviously because of his fight yesterday that gave him a higher rating than anyone else.
Knowing Calla it was a given to him that she could never take no for an answer and would peruse one until they either accept or kill themselves from anxiety. James was one person who knew the correct response of her proposal, so he came up with the question.
"What are the benefits of joining your committee compared to joining other forces?"
"I never expected to be asked such a question by anyone much more a first year. The benefits of joining the disciplinary committee over others is simply because you get unlimited access to the school dungeons despite your level and age."
This was a benefit which James had never heard of through the entire course of his academy life. A smile appeared on his face as his purple eyes glimmered with joy. "Thank you for the short briefing, I will be joining you after school."
Minutes later Adam Schieler entered the class and greeted all the learners. He looked as if he had experienced a massive emergency. "Sorry class but because of a boy who seemed to have decided to fight with the second years and win. Since that is the case, the school has just ordered all first years to get some real combat experience through dungeon raiding."
"Professor how close are we going to be raiding the dungeon." Rachael asked and the response was shocking to the whole class.
"Everyone get ready and enter groups of five as you will be raiding the dungeons today effective immediately." Adam hopelessly said.
Of course, it was obvious that everyone wanted to enter the same team as James, but no one anticipated what he was about to do.
That moment the system came to James with his first quest
{[Side Quest #1]} - (F rank)
- [Conquer an F rank without the assistance of anyone]
- [Reward for completing the quest is a +5 to all core stats, + 2 to all arcane stats and a random (A-) skill.]
- [Failure to complete the quest will lead to death.]
James approached Adam and he openly said to him that he desired to raid a dungeon alone.
Adam knew the power James had and considering that he was able to defeat a group of second years it meant he had more than enough fighting experience.
After realizing all these points Adam allowed it, and so James prepared his equipment and entered the dungeon.
[Host has just entered the F rank dungeon 'Jungle Bunch' and is wished the best of luck.]
After what seemed like three minutes of pointless walking James finally encountered his first opponents and they were F rank fury monkeys.
Since they were only three in number James thought he could take them head on but had clearly forgot to take an account that these were not human.
In an instant one of them had approached him and was already preparing to land a hit. Thanks to his incredible reflexes James blocked the strike but that was harder than what he imagined.
Behind him another monkey landed a direct slash on his back, and he was hit by the status effect bleed. Although James was a man who had a lot of experience conquering dungeons he had underestimated it because of the system.
His eyes began to glow and the sword in his hand followed. He had chosen to implement aura, swiftly end the monkeys and then find a comfortable resting place.
Not all things go as planned as his aura attracted the attention of all monkeys in the entire dungeon turning it to a battle of one against forty-three. After killing one he got one random core point and 30 points.
That moment James emitted all his aura and magic utilizing even his reserves. After thirty minutes he was now sited on top of the large number of corpses in a bloodied state.
[Congratulations for dealing with all the mob monsters in the dungeon and meeting all requirements to face the dungeon boss.]
The boss of the dungeon was a red ape which was an E rank. It had an aura that far surpassed that of Fein. James was not afraid but excited since he believed to have almost reached Derik's level of strength.
So now he used all his strength to finally access the first form of the great martial sword. He used every single power he had left to one shot kill the red ape and clear the dungeon.
A familiar blue prompt appeared, and it carried his rewards. That moment he felt his body burn and before he could receive his new skill. It was followed up by a major surge of power and a message that congratulated him.
[Congratulations for breaking through to an intermediate hunter. As a reward the system has provided you with a new skill 'Scavenger(B+)'.]

James could never have been more satisfied by what had happened and decided to move towards the dungeon exit but a teleportation circle took him to a different area.
Strangely all students of class A were transported there and what was more concerning was the absence of any professor from the location.
