Reborn as God: The strongest system

Just like that, the confrontation ended in an anticlimax that left everyone even more confused than they were before.

Esdras wasn't that bothered since he wasn't very interested in what the higher-ups had in mind. At least it was over now.

And more importantly, he had other things to worry about.

Esdras watched over Celine in her sleep as she took one breath after another. He wanted to give her a health potion but she looked fine as if there was nothing wrong with her.

After helping the others, burying the dead, and cleaning some of the rubble and broken walls. He finally settle down.

Everyone started to return to their regular selves, but it was not something easy, especially for him. Although he was eating, he did not feel the test in the food.

He was constantly thinking about Celine, every few hours he would go and check up on her. Seeing as he couldn't stop himself or focus on anything he decided to move into a room so that he could check up on her at any time.

A day passed peacefully. However, Celine did not wake up yet.

On this day he heard from David that Robert was taken by the only surviving True mage besides Ron. The one who had that giant chameleon as his familiar.

Apparently, he performed really well in the battle and was taken by that mage to join the Hooded delvers. This was a faction created by a joint effort in the Octarine tower.

It was like a legion of active mages, their duties included, guarding some important locations of the tower.

But their most important mission and the reason they were created in the first place was to explore the Mysterious maze under Mount kalistmore.

Naturally, he was not happy that Robert managed to get away. The problem was at this rate he want to be able to kill Robert during the Rite of passage as planned.

This is because now that Robert joined a faction, he will go through a similar test, but under the faction itself. Moreover, he heard that those who joined the Hooded delvers were forced to undergo a period of isolated training, where they were cut off from the rest of the world.

During this time, it would be basically impossible to get to him. Of course, you could think of someway later on, but it still didn't sit well with him then enemy that's cute against him multiple times once again.

However, there was a strange detail in David's recount of the events. It seemed like Robert did not want to join the Hooded delvers but was forcefully enlisted by that mage.

And they even took off without much fanfare.

However, on another note that was not too far from this one. Tara is still here. His previous plan to frame her as a deserter fell through because of the attack of the warlocks.

As he was sure, she already claimed that she escaped after the attack started. Many apprentices did the same thing, and he couldn't prove anything against her with his words alone.

But that didn't matter it was just her luck that she managed to stay alive. But unlike Robert, she wasn't going anywhere.

As long as that was the case he could figure out many, many methods to torment her and eventually get rid of her.

On a slightly unexpected note, it seemed like David and his reputation in the class has underwent an earth-shaking change.

Turns out the dozens of apprentices held up with Celine reported that David rescued them by distracting the monsters. And when David was summoned by senior Ron he told him that it was a joint effort.

Thanks to that they were regarded as heroes.

Esdras took this chance to reveal that he became a level 4 apprentice mage. This news naturally caused an uproar that elevated his reputation leaks beyond normal.

However, unexpectedly senior Ron did not call for him yet. Naturally, he's put out this information right now, so that it would not be too much of a surprise when he advanced as a True mage.

He also wanted to see what kind of reaction. This kind of thing will get.

After all, the advancement of apprentices was not just a simple process of accumulating energy. It required engraving the sigils and connecting them with the secondary sigils.

It was not something that could happen overnight. However, he chose to do this now because it was something small, he was just an apprentice right now, in the eyes of most True mages no matter what he did, he would be unworthy of their attention.

Another day passed and Celine didn't wake up yet. Esdras was starting to worry it was extremely anxious and on edge.

The more normal, she seemed the more abnormal of a situation it truly was. If the dungeon wasn't destroyed, he would have liked to go to kill monsters not even for the EXP but just to blow off some steam.

Esdras decided to get busy with something before he lost his mind, then he remembered that he actually didn't see what he got inside of the treasure chests which he got on the last floor.

Who knows there could be something interesting, or maybe something that could help Celine.

Actually, now that he thought about it, he did not digest any of the games he made during that night. It was incredibly hectic and hellish by the end, but he did end up making a lot of gains.

Massive amounts of EXP and that was even some kind of legacy magic? It sounded really cool. There were a lot of things that he didn't pay attention to rightfully so his life was constantly in danger.

To think that all of that happened in a single night? Truly frightening…

Wait, he wasn't actually sure if the dungeon was destroyed or not, at the time he didn't have the leisure to pay attention.
