Versatile: Alternate World

569 Maintennance Over

Morning came once more as the sun shines from my window, effectively putting a lot of light on my face that made me wake up groggily. Looking at the clock, only an hour left before the maintenance will end. I am not so motivated to play the new expedition quest, especially knowing what kind of quest we will be handling.

However, I am a bit excited about what is going to come in the expedition. This time around, I let Kazuki join the Pioneers of Luminous. Although it would have been beneficial if he was also kicked out, slowing down his progress, Still, this will be a huge headache once the situation comes to fruition soon and since I have done many things that delay his progress, the situation will be a bit different now. Perhaps, this is the time to openly show my hostility against him in this expedition.

Today is a free study day. It is a unique thing in our school that allows us to freely attend a school or just stay at home. Either you take an absence or you attend doesn't matter as the teachers will start preparing for the tests so they will give the students the free will to study or not. Of course, if you don't study, the teachers will not be merciful in your grades. If you flunk, then you flunk and you can't do anything. That is why, even if this is free time, most students would rather go to school and occupy the library to study, or maybe stay at home so that they can cram, or for those who don't care about flunking, they can go and do whatever they wanted. This will last until the last day of the week which the next week will be the day of the exams that will continue for 3 days.

Since I already have taken the exams in the past timeline, even if there are alterations to the questions, I am pretty certain to get a perfect score on it, I just won't do it and purposely do some wrong answers but keep it high to make sure that I will pass.

First, I prepared breakfast for everyone. Janus and the siblings are going to school today as they wanted to cram a lot more for the upcoming exams. I designed their lunchboxes and prepared breakfast for them too. Rennata and Rika also went outside and helped with the cooking making the cooking faster.

After that, I took a bath to refresh myself. Once everything is done, I told Rika about some of our plans that we will do once we begin the Expedition quest like usual. She already knows the drill so I didn't explain too much about what we should do once everything commences. I also asked her to relay it to Sigma and Mr.Teddy in case she is the first one to meet up with them.

[Welcome Back Bladeheart]

The moment the maintenance ended, I log in to the game as soon as possible. I checked my Versatile Weapon and there are only 4 days left for the Versatile Weapon to finish up its digestion process. If the expedition goes the same way as it was before, I will be able to use the Versatile Weapon again before the end of the Expedition concluded. Otherwise, we would get to the point where the expedition ended before the digestion ends. As long as nothing urgent happens, it's alright.

First, the patch notes and whatever changes. So far, it didn't have any changes at all so it's a waste to read all over again. I just skimmed it to see whether something changed or not. Next, is the class trees themselves. As much as I want to confirm it by checking the Versatile Weapon's new forms, I can't do that with it doing its job so I have to manually check my skill trees where the classes tab will appear.

Like what I expected, the new classes, Reaper, Onmyoji, Dancer, and Puppeteer skill trees are now available for selection as well. I also received a notification about the teleport scroll that will teleport us to the Luminous Continent deposited inside my inventory.

It's not time yet so I decided to finish some items. I have already made a few weapon prototypes for the three classes, Reaper, Onmyoji, and Dancer as they are all weapons I can make with blacksmithing. I didn't complete them just yet as they won't be registered as weapons if they are completed before the classes are added. As for the Puppeteer class, I have to postpone on that as creating a puppet will be a different story. The Puppeteer class will create their first puppet in the tutorial, allowing the players to fully understand how a puppet and its controller work.

I don't have the time to make a puppet so it will take me a bit more time to make one so that will be postponed for now. Without the Versatile Weapon, I have to rely on my extra weapons to fight. It might not be as good as the Versatile Weapon but it will be a good replacement until the Versatile Weapon is back in action.

Since I only needed to do the final touches, I finished all of the weapons up and about. However, before I can check the stats, of the finished products, the quest line for the Expedition popped up, signifying that the quest for exploring the Luminous Continent is now ready to proceed. Since it was not a priority for me to check the stats of the weapons, I pulled out the teleport scroll and tear it into two, activating the spell within, connecting my current location and the predetermined location that the players will teleport into Luminous Continent.

[You have discovered City of the Clouds. You are the first to discover the continent, you have received a welcome bonus of +100 Reputation to all Inhabitants of City of Clouds]

Oh? Did I arrive first? I didn't know I am that fast but that is a good thing as I can start doing the first quest as soon as possible.

The inhabitants of the Luminous Continent stares at me as soon as I appeared in their view. For them, the Luminous Continent is one of the places that rarely see other people aside from their own races and those who are native to the Luminous Continent. Since Humans are not part of the natives in the continent, seeing one is something they have not yet encountered.

Thankfully, there are already guards who are aware of my circumstances.

"You must be a pioneer that was sent by the goddess, Queen Titania. I am the captain of the 1st Squadron of the Angel Legionnaire. We already knew what you are here for and we thank you for responding to our request for help."

"No problem, The other pioneers will be coming here soon. I am the first one to arrive so I guess you can say that I am the very first one who will be helping out."

"That's good. However, before you can begin to help us, we will have to ask you to complete something so that you will not be inconvenienced while you are here."

Although I know what they were referring to, I decided to act like I don't know.

"Complete something?"

"That's right. See our wings here?" He turned around and began to flap his white wings. "This is what allowed us to fly around and access areas that are high up from the ground. Angels and Fallen Angels don't have this problem as we all have wings that we can use to fly high in the sky. However, that will be different for humans and other races who don't have wings as part of their bodies which is why we will be helping any races who have no ability to fly to gain the ability to fly without wings."

"Is that even possible? I mean, just like you said, we don't have wings. So how do we fly up in the sky without it? I don't think we can fly like that using [Levitation] and not all people have that ability either."

"Haha, I can see that you are confused but that is natural and no, this is indeed different from [Levitation] as that will allow you to hover above the ground for a little while but you cannot move around freely like how flying works. The thing that we are going to be teaching is about the [Flight] itself. Any race will have the chance to fly without the help of wings."

Alright, that is good. Hearing that confirmed my suspicion that nothing has indeed changed from the mechanics. Otherwise, the method to acquire [Flight] would have been changed.

"If that can help me from my current predicament, then please, I will take the request and do the task. Please guide me to where I should be going."
