After returning to his room the first thing he did was taking a shower, since after the combat training his body was sweaty.After the shower he went back to his room planning to read a few books from the digital library, since he had once again seen how lacking his general knowledge was but he was stopped by the sound of his phone ringing.
"h.e.l.lo?"
"Hey Ivan. Are you at your room?"
"Yes, I just came back from school."
"Great, then go wear your combat uniform and come out, I will be waiting for you in the foyer.", without waiting for him to respond his mentor ended the call and he had no way but follow his orders.
< item:="" armor="" :="" combat="" uniform="" of="" the="" slavers="" alliance="">
An armor made from light leather for the newcomers of the Slavers Alliance.
Def +5
Can only be worn by members of the Slavers Alliance >>
For the first time Ivan took a closer look at the combat uniform and used Inspect to check it out but it didn"t seem like anything special.
After hastily putting on the uniform he left his room and went to the foyer where he could already see Van Bergen waiting for him.
"There you are. The others are already waiting for us.", with that he went ahead towards the subway station.
"Mentor, what exactly is going on and who is waiting for us?"
"We are going to get you a skill which will be really useful for your further growth and since it can be done in a group some friends asked me to take their new students with me."
"Oh.", after a short pause he then asked him, "Mentor, today a teacher offered me a Training Skill."
"A Training Skill? How did that happen?", he seemed quite surprised.
Ivan then proceeded to tell him what had happend at school and when he finished his mentor locked at him in surprise.
"He really offered you that S ranked skill and the both of you didn"t instantly accept?", then after a short pause he corrected himself, "Well she didn"t accept? I"m not surprised that you didn"t, since you are completely clueless as usual but I"m sure she must have known how incredible it is."
"Is it really that great? After all, all the higher leveled people have to have such skills."
"We have such skills, but usually they are only B ranked and below, only some of the high ranking aristocrats have A ranked skills and to my knowledge there are only two S ranked skills in this country. So think about it, how great this skill is."
Ivan felt enlightened and decided to accept the offer as soon as possible.
"Besides even if the girl is ugly at the moment, that may not necessarily be the case later since there are many things which can change your appearance."
While talking they had reached their destination which was a gigantic hall, which had a simple style. The building materials were mainly steel and gla.s.s, which created a modern look which was only reinforced by the futuristic looking portals, which were located in small alcoves which where guarded by at least two men in full plate armor.
"This is the transfer station, with portals to all important cities and dungeons.", Van Bergen proudly informed Ivan.
"It looks impressive, but why use portals? Couldn"t it be done with the app?"
"Certainly you could use the app, but it would be much more expensive so we have this station with permanent portals."
Ivan nodded in understanding and followed him over to a group of three which seemed to be the other students who would be joining them.
They were two guys and one woman. Both of the guys didn"t look special in any way but the woman left quite an impression. Not only was she beautiful with an Asian look, with her long straight black hair, her smooth skin which looked like jade as well as her body which had curves at the right places and long straight legs. Her expression was cold, wich suited her beautiful face and the most impressive thing was her aura which seemed to be full of dominance.
When her eyes swept over him, he felt a formless pressure which seemed to tell him not to mess with this person. To his surprise the pressure didn"t lead to the result it should, but instead created the urge to tease her but he held himself back since he was sure that he wouldn"t have a good ending if he followed this urge.
"Great everyone is here, then lets get going.", after they arrived Van Bergen didn"t introduce them but instead directly lead them towards one of the portals. The guards nodded at him and the group entered the portal.
When they left the portal the were standing in a big cave. Behind them there was the portal they had come from, while in front of them there was an entrance which lead further into the dungeon.
Even though they were beneath the surface it was quite bright, since there was a type of moss on the ceiling which emitted a soft light.
< you="" have="" entered="" the="" dungeon:="" caves="" of="">
Maximum group size: 5

Average Level: 20 >>
He was greeted with a popup which told him some information about the dungeon but nothing really useful.
After this popup there was another one.
< quest:="" clear="" the="" caves="" of="" leuren="">
Kill Leuren, the owner of the Caves of Leuren.
Reward: Skill: Shadow Stats
>>
Ivan was sure that this was the skill his mentor had talked about, but this wasn"t the only quest he got.
< quest:="" first="" dungeon="">
Clear your first dungeon
Reward: t.i.tle: Dungeon Diver , Skill: Reincarnation (F)
>>
The rewards from this quest looked even better than the first ones, since there was two and the name of the skills filled him with hope. * Maybe it will enable me to come back after dead. *, he thought hopefully but not daring to really believe it, since the skill only had the rank F.
