Chapter 14: Tristan Hesitation, Skyfall Heroes University, and the Mysterious Woman Appeared
Looking at the information in front of him, Tristan was shocked at the achievement of his former classmates and couldn't help but clenched his hand while holding the document.
He thought he was already ahead of his classmates because his progress was really obvious compared to the past 2 years ago. In Station 92, most people are afraid to trouble him, except for some people. He has also a legacy of the famous characters in that (Earth) world.
So, seeing this information, Tristan began to understand a new thing. He was not the only Protagonist of the world; the world doesn't revolve around him. If he was progressing, the other was also progressing, he didn't think that he was so ignorant to think something like that before.
"It seems my effort was not enough" Tristan put the document unwillingly in his hand on the table. He really didn't expect the progress of his previous classmates was great.
Although he was surprised with the progress of Gerald, Lorraine, and Astrid, it's still slightly reasonable for him, although he wants to deny it. But Eric, Amir, and Patrick, what the heck happened with these three? These three scumbag young masters already catch up with him? or maybe already ahead of him.
He didn't know if the information was reliable because most of the progress written on the documents was based on analogy and speculation. But this information was already enough to see their progress. Although he was also one of the former four young masters, he thinks he was ahead of them because 2 years ago he was at the peak of Proficient (E) and almost reached the (M) while these 3 people just entered the Proficient (E) but now they are also in the same place where he standing now or maybe already ahead of him in few steps.
Then finally, when he saw the information about Alfred, he was shocked by this guy's speed of progress. He still clearly remembers in the past he was just bullying this guy as a 'Son of Prisoner', and that guy was only a Starter (M). And when the Top 10 qualification starts, he's just upgraded to (L) and luckily defeat him when he was still devastated by his father's death.
But now the guy he insulted in the past was already ahead of him, Tristan recalled his day in this Station 92 and asked himself
(Did I slack off?)
Then he tried to remember how many times he slacked off, days, hours, minutes, but he quickly shook his head. Besides eating, it seems he didn't slack off. Or maybe he rests longer than Alfred?
Impossible, as a person who stays in Black Region, it's impossible to rest longer than the people of the safe region. As long as you here in this region, every day, for hours, you must be alert because there are always invasions happening in this Region whether it's a small, medium, or large incident, it's always happened every day, if it's not day, it's 5 days, weekly, half month, or month.
So, when it comes to effort it's impossible to surpass him, he will convince if it's on par level of his effort or lower. But within a par level of effort while having a lower rank compared to him, that guy managed to be ahead of him, how could it be?
Is that guy more talented than me? Tristan was really not convinced and unwilling to believe.
But when he was in a state of confusion, he feels the hands of Major Anderson patting his shoulder and said: "Don't deny your effort young man, you must believe in yourself. You are behind on them because you're lacking resources here in the Black Region. That's why I said you're wasting your talent here in this region."
"You MUST not doubt your strength, because as a Major and Crown Stages, I can testify that you are extremely talented, there are only a few people in your peer who can manage to reach your achievement here. Fighting and killing an Enhanced best alone, killing countless beasts, killing senior and proficient stages, fighting an Expert Stage one-on-one, and managing to kill Expert in a dire state, it's really rare. So, there's no need to doubt yourself. But of course, you must not be proud just because of your achievements, there are many talented people in Artheran who succumb to their past glories and forgot their current situation, the result? Fall, they fall like a shooting star. So as for you, you must maintain your state, you only need an opportunity and you can catch up with them."
"A talented guy like you must not stay here in this region! You must be in University" His voice became more dignified when he said his last sentence while looking at Tristan.
Tristan also felt what Major Anderson said was reasonable but he still denied being talented a bit. He was clear about why he reached this stage, it was the help of the 'Training Field'. When he saw the ranking of his classmates before, he was shocked by the speed of their progress but he started to think if they exchanged the situation I think they will also surprise by his progress because he managed to catch up with them without having resources. It was the help of 'Training Field' because when he was busy killing beasts in a day, he can use that day to cultivate himself on 'Training Field' which he didn't miss his cultivation per day and even sometimes it's twice the improvement if he was cultivating in 'Training Field' and in a real-world time. Of course, Tristan didn't use all of his 'Training Field' in cultivating stages but also in Sword Training.
But still... Tristan just looked down, don't know what to say. Even though he knew it, the information he read still really blow his mind today and he was speechless.
The beldum on his sides approached him and made a noise as if it is encouraging him.
Tristan just smiled and patted its head again. He really likes to pat the head of little brat.
He looked again at Anderson and said "Major, I was already 2 years late, I think no strong Universities will use an S-Ticket to recruit me!"
S-Ticket is a recruitment quota that Alliance gave to the Universities to recruit unknown genius people that they didn't manage to recruit at the time of recruitment. S-class universities can have a 3 S-Ticker to use per 3 years. A-class universities can have 2 S-Ticker to use per 3 years while B-class universities can have 1 S-Ticket to use per 3 years. The C-class universities have no qualification to use an S-class Ticket.
"Based on your achievements today, do you think no universities will approach you?" Anderson just smiled and asked him.
"I don't know..."
"But it seems you're already planning to go to universities, right? Otherwise, you will not ask me that question"
"This... I don't know..."
"Take your time kid, time is still long. You have a few days or weeks to think about it!" Anderson said to him.
"I'm not a kid!" Tristan retorted and said.
"Hahaha... I forgot... I'm sorry, right, right, you're not a kid, you're a young man!"
"Hmph..."

Blue Region
Station 680, Kemusk City
Skyfall Heroes University Training Field
There's a fierce-looking with full of muscle on his body wearing a black tank top standing in front of the students.
"Out of 300 students who had been accepted only 37 of you pass the elite qualification"
When they heard what the instructor said, some of them sighed in relief.
"Almost 1/10th huh... I think you must be happy about the result, but..."
Some of the students only became happy in a few seconds when the instructor suddenly interjected.
"Maybe some of you forget that only 10 of you will be accepted"
"The remaining elite students will get benefits higher compared to the hundreds of freshmen students but... you will still be left behind by 10 people." The instructor smiled at them and said jokingly.
When the students heard what the instructor said, some students were relaxed as if they didn't care, and some students' expressions were suddenly dignified, and clenched their fists with determination. There are also some who felt despair for a moment but they immediately regain their composure. They are also a student who passed the elite examination, so how can they accept defeat to others.
The instructor jumped in the middle and then walked on each student.
"3 MONTHS! Within 3 months, you will experience a hell of training that you'll never experience before, and hehe maybe the 37 people will be reduced again." The instructor said amusingly while walking at them.
"And after 3 months... are the qualification match for the 10 quotas."
"Don't worry in training, you'll be with your seniors. They are the ones who will supervise you within 3 months. I advise that you must cherish your 3 months of remaining time, if you have something to ask them, then don't be too shy to ask. They are more experienced than you, so there's no need to keep your pride saying you don't need their advice. But... It is still your choice... Ah, enough talking and follow me"
The student behind rushed forward to follow then...
"LINE UP!" The instructor suddenly looked back coldly and shouted then walked away.
The students became shivered and immediately line up and follow.
After a few minutes, they appeared at another training ground. The freshmen students saw 20 people standing straight waiting at them.
Some freshmen students murmured "That was... Senior Fred"
"Senior Iris"
"Senior Jade"
"Senior..."
"I didn't expect I will see some senior celebrity!"
"Senior Iris was so beautiful!"
"Of course, how could it..."
"SILENT!"
There's another old male instructor appeared shouting at them and the previous tank top instructor standing behind him. He looked thin and old but the aura he released was so terrifying. It's scarier compared to the previous instructor.
"Same scenario, freshmen this year were still lively huh" The old male instructor said while looking at them.
"I hope you will still be lively after this." He grinned at them and said

September 26, NE176
Early in the morning
Katrinidad Alliance Hall, Station 90
Major Anderson was listening to the report. And after a few minutes of finishing the report. The secretary stands up and stopped talking.
"The new Major of Linian City was not 2nd Lieutenant of the city but directly transferred from another region. Hmm..." Anderson frowned and thought deeply.
He looked at the picture of the new director on the table.
"Fabian Castro... 41 years old" He looked at the information about the guy.
"An alliance officer rank 2nd Lieutenant, born from Draden City, the capital of Gold region and previously handling the Yellow Region, Station 275, and now currently transferred to Linian City?"
Then he flipped the pages.
"His father was also a businessman and had an affiliation with those big families. He also has a younger brother name Flabio Castro who is 39 years old this year and currently controlled the management of their family..."
"What the hell is this guy doing in Black Region? Is he courting death? Is not the life in Yellow Region didn't satisfy him and he dare to come here?"
He saw on the information that this guy was just Lieutenant (L) which is not enough to take responsibility as a commander of 10 Station but the Black Regional Alliance Hall dare to transfer this guy.
"Actually, sir there's some information his younger brother was also here in the region" The secretary told some information to Anderson.
"Huh, from what city?"
"Seterel City, Station 139"
"Conspiracy! There must be a conspiracy! That old fool! What's he thinking?" Anderson placed the blame on Colonel Boyet Head and shouted in anger.
The secretary didn't dare to respond and a few seconds later, someone walked in and whispered something in the secretary's ear.
"Sir, you have a visitor coming from the blue region"
"Blue Region? Let her come in" Anderson already knew who's the person coming.
After a few minutes, a female visitor with brown hair appeared. She was wearing a martial dress in red and held a spear in her hand.
"Long time no see, Captain!"
