18 Deceive

Yawn...

I'm feeling tired right now.

Sitting at my usual place in my classroom I thought to myself.

'It must be due to the torture last night. '

I thought.

Seriously, I still get goosebumps and my legs become as soft as jelly remembering that pain.

Honestly, this system can't do anything 'properly'.

If I could, I would sue the person who created this function.

Although it helps a lot, the pain is almost unbearable!

Shaking my head I began to observe my class.

Honestly, nothing much changed here.

I'm still a loner.

And there are some groups in my class.

Mostly for some personal interest or they recognize each other.

Either way, I don't care.

They are all extras like me, no wait, they will have it worse than me.

Why?

It's because I know what will happen in the future and with it, I can be ready but it was not the same for them.

In the future, many of them may die on a battlefield with their names not known or forgotten in time.

It's a pity.

Anyways it's none of my business.

Then I saw a group of 5, I nodded my head.

Well, it was Azul's group.

As their status was of those at the top, no one dared to talk much with them.

So they don't have any choice but to stick together like usual.

But knowing them, they don't care about those things.

They must have already expected things to become like this.

Anyway, it's still happy to know that they were growing stronger.

It assures my heart that they can survive difficult situations thrown at them in the future.

Ding ding

Hearing the ringing of the school bell, everyone stopped what they were doing and waited for Olivia to enter.

And just like that Olivia entered the class.

But, something was different about her. It was like her aura became more profound.

The air about her was more mysterious than before.

"What?! She reached level 9?"

Someone screamed.

Hearing him everyone was startled and dumbfounded.

Why?

Because Olivia reached level 9 at just the age of 24!

How can they not be shocked?

You should know that level 9 are not some cabbage in a market you can see everywhere.

Reaching level 9 means reaching the peak of power the human body could hold.

It's immeasurably difficult to reach that level so early.

You should know that out of 100% human population, only 20% could reach level 9.

That too if they were lucky. Or else reaching this stage is almost impossible.

And here was someone who reached level 9 at age 24?

Even veterans who reached level 9 would cry hearing about this and complain about how unfair it was.

But I know that it's just Olivia's cover. Her real strength is in no way level 9.

I had read about her character in the novel.

No matter how good-looking she is, she's a cautious warrior who always has extra trump cards.

So tell me, will a cautious person like her show her true prowess like this?

The answer is a big no. Olivia's true level is 10, not 9!

She is deceiving her enemies like this so that they can lower their guards and she has more chances of winning a fight.

But it's a pity that she can not keep the secret for long. No matter what, she has to show her real strength in the upcoming event.

" Everyone I have an announcement to make." Olivia's voice magically spread towards every corner of the class making the class quiet in a second.

' Finally' I thought. I mean...I was waiting for this event!

I trained hard for this very moment!

Why?

Because this will bring me immense benefits.

"After 2 days we are going for a 3 days trip to a Treasure City Also called Thesaurus City."

'Yaay!' I cheered inside my head. I was happy.

Why?

Because this is also proof that the plotline didn't change because of me my actions.

This means that If I survive this event, then I'll have a skill that will give a big boost to my strength in the future.

But before that, many of you may wonder what is a treasure city.

Well, it is as its name suggests, a city built for the protection of treasures.

In a sentence with more clarity, It is a city where the Alliance keeps its artifacts, skills, techniques, and treasures, they find in the dungeons, etc.

Many of you may wonder why isn't those artifacts kept at the Alliance headquarters.

The reason is that the treasures are not safe to be kept at the alliance.

Think about it, the Alliance, formed by the alliance of the four races- Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, and Orcs- to protect us as a shield, Will it be safe from many disaster-level attacks?

Especially in the off chance, it is the demon king who attacked the alliance?

Then it will really be destroyed!

The demon King is that powerful!

They may also be attacked at any time by their enemies. As the Alliance is not omnipotent, there is no guarantee that it will survive every catastrophe.

And while defending the Alliance headquarters, someone may betray them and steal the treasury.

Or in the worst-case scenario, if the alliance gets defeated and their enemies get access to that treasury, then it's just like giving a tiger a pair of wings.

So the leaders of each race in the Alliance agree to build treasure cities to better protect their treasury.

Thus, the treasure cities were formed.

In the Human domain, there are two treasure cities. One is Thesaurus City and the other is Tresor City.

Actually, in the eyes of Human leaders Tresor City is more important than Thesaurus City.

Why?

Because all of the most destructive artifacts and higher-class skills are kept in this city.

So 2 emperors are protecting this city and almost 10 transcendent warriors including several lower-level guards keep this city guarded.

Compared to that there are only 3 transcendent including 30 level 9 and several lower level humans keeping this city guarded.

Why?

Because Thesaurus City mostly has lower-level artifacts or some artifacts whose effects we don't know.

That's why the leaders don't care about much. Resulting in the difference in the protection given to these cities.
