Chapter 208 : Class Rank: 3
Chapter 208: Class Rank: 3
The surging torrent of magical energy seemed to break through an invisible gate.
The long-accumulated magical power flowed again and again, washing through the magical channels within his body.
The Cup of Magical Power released a bright white radiance.
“Buzz!”
Е́ n̈ũ mа̀
Centered on Gauss, a sudden wave of air generated by the magical fluctuations surged outward. The blades of grass bent low, the once calm and gently flowing stream was disturbed, rippling into countless waves.
This abnormal disturbance caught the attention of Arya and Cicero, who had been playing by the stream, wading to catch fish.

“Brother, what’s wrong?”
Cicero’s face was filled with confusion. The little white strip she was holding slipped from her hand unnoticed, falling into the water.
“We should move farther away.” Arya’s pupils contracted slightly. She had already guessed what was happening. She pulled Cicero along and called Ulfen and Ike to retreat a good distance, so as not to accidentally disturb Gauss.
Meanwhile, at the center of the magical vortex, Gauss’s sea of consciousness was trembling violently.
Ёn̈u m̈ а
The Cup of Magical Power, which served as the core of his strength, was undergoing an earth-shaking transformation. Under wave after wave of magical energy, the cup’s walls gradually expanded, becoming more resilient.
Normally, for an ordinary Professional, advancing from Rank 2 to Rank 3 was not so simple. This was, after all, a small milestone barrier.
Gauss, however, was different. Though he had not been at Rank 2 for long, the experience he had accumulated was no less than those who had lingered at that stage for years. In fact, because his attributes were far stronger than those of his peers, he hardly felt any real obstruction.
“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

The magic within the cup spun and compressed, purifying itself. At last, a tiny drop of liquid slowly condensed into form.
The bottleneck of a Rank 2 Magic User collapsed in an instant!
Е n ûm ȧ . і d
Within just a few breaths, the torrent of magical energy inside him surged like boiling water, growing thicker, shimmering with a deep luster.
Streams of information flickered rapidly across his cerebral cortex, until at one moment, all his power converged into the Cup of Magical Power.
Every aspect—Professional talents, spells, magical reserves, speed of magical circulation… all of it strengthened!
“Class Rank increased to: 3!”
Gauss’s eyes shone brightly.
The myriad visions finally subsided.

The dust settled, and the surging energy condensed into solid power, fusing into his body.
“Intelligence +1”
“Charisma +1”
“Agility +1”
Gauss felt the changes in his body, his Attribute Panel finally becoming:
Strength: 10
W ё_b̌_n o v̆ёl E n u.m̂ а̀
Agility: 8 → 9
Constitution: 9

Intelligence: 12 → 13
Perception: 9 (8)
Charisma: 9 (8) → 10 (9)
Now, his panel appeared quite luxurious.

Gauss looked at his Class Rank 3, momentarily dazed.
He still remembered, last winter during the Winter Hunt in the Emerald Forest, when he had encountered the Iron Arm Squad in the forest. Back then, upon seeing the Rank 3 Swordsman Quick and Rank 3 Warlock Sana, a trace of envy had stirred in his heart.
And yet, in the blink of an eye, not long had passed—
He had now become a Rank 3 Professional himself.

Rank 3 marked a small milestone of achievement.
From Rank 3 onward, most classes could begin to grasp Tier 2 related skills.
Еn̊ u m̌ а.
This meant that Rank 3 Professionals had completely shed the stage of being newcomers.
In an ordinary town, such people counted among the upper pillars of combat strength.
Recruiting teammates also became much easier. They could freely select from among Rank 1 and Rank 2 Professionals, and most invitations would be readily accepted.
Moreover, Gauss was no ordinary Rank 3 Professional.
His combat strength was already far beyond his peers. Even Rank 3 monsters would not be his match.
Even Rank 4 monsters, he could likely fight and win.

As for Rank 5 monsters… well, that might be pushing it. But if the opponent were an Elite Goblin, then it was not impossible that he could stand against it.
For he had a particularly strong restraining effect against Goblins.
Aside from the damage boost from 【Nemesis】 and the stamina recovery from 【Bloodthirst】, he could also stack attacks to trigger a chance at a critical strike.
And once a critical strike landed, under such multipliers, even a Rank 5 Elite Goblin would probably find it hard to endure.
Of course, out of caution, Gauss would not recklessly challenge Rank 5 monsters.
What he needed was not to seek danger to break through, but to advance steadily, just as he had always upheld.
W̄ё b̃ n̊ ǒvе̂ĺ .Еǹ u m а̊_
That was the so-called… water does not compete to be first, it competes to flow endlessly.
“Haha!”

Standing by the stream, Gauss let the breeze tousle his hair. He could not help but laugh twice, his laughter filled with the exhilaration of advancing ranks and the satisfaction of settling into newfound strength.
Reaching Rank 3 made him more confident than ever.
His resolve to follow his chosen path only grew stronger.
“Brother!” Cicero broke free from Arya’s grasp.
Ѐ n ů m̈ӑ
Like a lively fawn, she skipped joyfully toward him, leaping into his arms.
“You were glowing just now! So amazing!”
“Eh, brother, why do you smell so nice now?”
Gauss chuckled and rubbed her head.

Arya came over then, her eyes gleaming with genuine joy.
“Congratulations, Gauss. You’ve broken through to Rank 3. How does it feel now?”
Ĕ n̆ūm_а̄
She had been very aware of the changes occurring in Gauss just now.
After all, when Gauss had said he would stay in the village for two or three days, he had already mentioned this matter to them.
Still, she had not expected the breakthrough to come so quickly.
They had only just said they would bring his little sister to play by the stream, and in the blink of an eye, he had already succeeded in breaking through.
Such speed even left her somewhat dazed.
After all, let alone a special stage like advancing from Rank 2 to Rank 3—
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Just recently, when she herself had advanced from Rank 1 to Rank 2, it had taken her an entire week.
And that was already considered fast.
From what she knew, some Professionals took weeks, even longer, carefully preparing for such advancement.
Every rank breakthrough was a leap in life’s very essence.
It represented power, and with it came drastic changes in social standing.
“Very good. From now on, our small team’s operations and plans can relax a little.” Gauss smiled faintly.
Ŵӗ ḃ ṅ ov̂е́l Ĕ ň.u m̆ а
Unless they actively ventured deep into monster territories, the chances of encountering monsters beyond the Elite stage during normal commissions were relatively low.
Most were within the Rank 1–5 range.

Now, he was confident that at the very least, he could cover the rear, ensuring his teammates’ safe retreat.
This meant their team’s exploration range could further expand, even to the point of actively seeking out Elite monsters for extermination.
Of course, they could not neglect the low-level creatures either.
After all, to accumulate total kill counts, it was still the small monsters that contributed most.
Ẁẽb̃n̈о vе̊l Е n̂ů m̄а
There were many tasks ahead: exterminating Elite monsters, collecting Elite Points, then upgrading the talent 【Crawler-type】 from White grade to Blue grade.
Next was to continue developing Clay Magic.
To collect more varieties of spiritual essence and raise them.
The potential of this magic was still far from its limit.

He could also try exploring other Tier 2 spells that might complement his current combat strength, aside from developing Clay Magic.
From now on, he could begin self-studying Tier 2 spells as well.
W̌ еb̂nо ve l̇ Е̊ nu m а̀
Next was to accumulate his total monster kill count to four thousand. As for the Monster Encyclopedia, he still lacked over a dozen species before reaching fifty…
“Mm.” Arya had no objections.
After advancing to Rank 3, Gauss did not continue cultivating.
Instead, he joined Arya and Cicero in wading through the stream to catch fish.
His efficiency was far greater than the two of them.
Even though he was not putting in much effort, his already superhuman base attributes made it nearly impossible for the small fish darting about in the water to escape his grasp.

Before long, their fishing basket was piled with a thick layer of catch.
Small fish and shrimp, freshwater crabs, shellfish…
Gauss could not help recalling the times he had once fished at this very shallows. Back then, however, he had not possessed such strength. Otherwise, he would never have returned empty-handed.
When they got home, Serandur had just returned from gathering herbs in the wild and was applying medicine to Horst’s ankle.
Sensing Gauss and the others return, he looked up, his gaze lingering on Gauss for a moment.
Although two or three hours had already passed, the changes in Gauss had yet to fade.
Е ń ü m̆а. і́ d̂
The pressure Serandur felt from Gauss had grown even stronger.
“Captain, did you advance?”
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
“Yes.” After an afternoon, Gauss had already calmed his emotions.
Rank 3 might be an unachievable dream for many Adventurers, perhaps even in a lifetime. But for him, it was far from the end.
A short moment of joy was enough. Afterward, he needed to restrain his feelings and turn his gaze toward the distant future.
“Congratulations.”
W̄е̊ b nо̇ v̌ е̇_l Е̊ ń u m̃ å
The rest of the family, however, did not realize much. They only smiled faintly in confusion.
Of course, whether Rank 2 or Rank 3, to ordinary people there was no difference—they were both individuals not to be casually offended.
…
The following two days.
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Gauss and his companions remained in the village.
During this time, some villagers, even people from the neighboring village, came visiting, hoping to establish ties with him, asking him to teach their children, and even wishing he might take them as Adventurers.
Ẇеbṅоv ё ľ Ėñ u m̌á
But Gauss politely refused them all.
He had returned to rest and visit his family, not to teach others.
If a threat ever endangered the village, he would certainly act. But as for teaching people with no foundation, better to leave it be.
Such matters were thankless toil.
He knew the other villagers only envied his current success and assumed that if he could achieve it, so could they.
But in truth, of all who attempted to become Adventurers, how many truly managed to advance into Professionals?
Baca cerita ini hanya di situs resmi Enuma.id!
Still, during these two days, he did handle some proper matters.
Aside from asking Serandur to heal Horst’s leg, allowing Horst to walk freely again, he also handed several Apprentice-level skill books to his family.
Usually, Hawk or Meilin, even Horst and Rosa, could try practicing when they had time.
Even if they could not advance to Professionals, they could at least strengthen their bodies and gain some ability to defend themselves.
Some wealthier households in certain villages could indeed pool together enough money to purchase Apprentice-level skill books. But buying did not mean mastering them.
And even if one did grasp them, without diligent practice, the skills would never form real combat strength. In time, they would deteriorate and be forgotten.
W̄ е b̀n̈ о_v́еl. Е́ǹ û m â
Only a few, with both resources and talent coupled with effort, could polish those skills to proficiency and possess true combat ability.
Such people rarely stayed content in villages. At that stage, they would be driven to seek out towns. While improving their strength, they could also earn far more commissions than mere farming, aiming for the leap into Professional rank—a carp leaping through the dragon gate.

The young villager Gauss had encountered days ago, during the extermination of the Goblin Tribe, was just such a case.
As for his own family—
Gauss had suggested bringing them into town, but Horst and the others declined.
The elders, grown old, did not want to leave the place they had lived in for decades.
W̊ ӗ bn̈о ṽe l Е n̂ ūmа
More importantly, here they could still busy themselves with familiar tasks—hunting, farming…
In a town, without any particular skills, they would truly have to rely on Gauss alone to provide for them.
Gauss thought it over and did not press further.
On the one hand, even if he took them to town, he would spend most of his time outside on commissions and rarely be there.

All the more so now that he had advanced to Rank 3.
Their small team would likely explore wider regions, leaving him little time to care for his family. Better to let them stay in Stone Creek Village.

As for safety, while Graystone Town had walls for protection, it was filled with many strong Adventurers and Professionals, making it a more complicated place. The village’s location to the north of the town, deeper inland, might actually prove safer.
“Well then, father, mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, we’ll be off now.” Gauss packed his gear and waved.
“Keep this money with you. Don’t skimp when you need to spend. If anything urgent comes up, you can find me at my residence in Graystone Town. If I’m not there, go to the nearby inn.”
Gauss handed over three gold coins and several dozen smaller, more convenient silver and copper coins to his family.
It was not that he was unwilling to give more, only that there was no need.
Giving too much money to an ordinary family was not necessarily a blessing.

Besides, this amount was already enough for a rural household to live on for decades.
Even if something ever happened to him, this would at least provide some security.
“This…” Horst did not reach for it, shame written all over his face.
“Little brother, take it back. It’s too much. We don’t need this.” Elder brother Hawk shook his head, speaking in a low voice. “Besides, you’re an Adventurer now. You need money for weapons, equipment—all that costs. It’s bad enough we can’t help you, how could we become your burden?”
Hawk’s wife parted her lips, wanting to speak.
She had clearly seen it—that glint of gold among the coins in Gauss’s hand!
En̆uḿ а. ï d̂
The instant she saw it, her heart had pounded madly within her chest.
But when the words reached her throat, they became a silent sigh instead. She swallowed them back down.

Gauss shook his head, firmly placing the money on the table.
“This money means little to me. Don’t worry about it. Buy more food, eat better, focus more on practicing those skills. I’ll send more in the future.”
He turned and left.
Hawk had just bent to pick up the pile of coins and chase after him, only to discover that no matter how he tried, the coins stuck to the table as if glued fast, immovable.
Е̊_n ůṁȧ . і́d̄
Seeing that Gauss was nearly out of the courtyard, he sighed helplessly, gave up on the money, and hurried after him.
“Be careful, look after yourself.”
“Remember to eat on time.”
“Brother, come play with me more often!”

Hearing his family’s farewells, Gauss mounted his Chocobo and waved once more.
“I’ll come visit when I have time.”
Ёn̆ ù mа̀
They watched Gauss’s figure disappear down the road.
Only after a long time did they snap out of their daze and close the courtyard gate.
The coins lay quietly on the table.
Their lives had been forever changed by Gauss’s return.
From then on, they would never worry about food or fuel again.
And in the village, none would dare belittle or bully them any longer.

After all, few villagers could withstand the wrath of a Professional Adventurer.
…
“Let’s return to Graystone Town first.” Gauss announced.
There was still a commission to submit. Though it had been taken along the way, it was proper to see it through.
“If we want to upgrade to a 3-star team, it seems we’re still short on missions.” Arya said softly.
“Yes.”
W̌ е̊b ñ õ vѐ.l̃ Ë n̄ ũm̀ а
The Gauss Team had always exceeded their quota of normal missions. The main issue lay with the 3-star commissions.
To upgrade to a 3-star team, they needed to complete three 3-star commissions.

That meant facing monsters with at least Challenge Rating 3—Elite creatures.
And, they still needed to make time to meet with Shirley.
When they had accepted this Stone Creek Village commission a few days ago, they had encountered her on the way out.
At the time, she had asked them to come see her once their team’s commission was over.
