The level up process was not complicated unlike Lucky who had to literally sleep for months, it started and ended in a jiffy for Legolas.
As soon as the process came to an end, Legolas felt boundless energy flowing through his body. On opening his eyes, he saw his new concentrated jade green summoner energy gently flowing around his body like water.
As this process happened in the cave, it already drew the attention of the others as Prince Christensen watched curiously alongside the beasts.
The Prince already knew what was happening and he felt glad.
Legolas closed his eyes as he basked in the moment and felt all the changes that went through his body. He was not a Pugilist though, he could not explore his body as effortlessly as those freaks could.
In the end, he turned to his system for help to see his newly updated status.

"…1-100?" Legolas's eyes bulged to the limit on seeing his luck stat.
After years of his luck points getting stuck at 1 despite all his effort to increase it, Legolas already got resigned to his fate as a man without luck, he never expected the tides of his fate to change at this very moment.
He felt extremely emotional. "The months spent around Lucky were not in vain, that mischievous Fox is indeed a good companion".
"Damn, exam answer sheets really get filled most at the last minute". Legolas was ecstatic at this discovery.
Apart from his luck points that increased, Legolas felt a strange feeling of achievement engulf him as he looked at his new system status.
Even in his previous life as a player, he always felt a sense of achievement when his strength grew. This time was no different and it was even more potent since he felt the energy increase even more personally.
Compared to the first time that he checked his virtual interface status after reincarnating into this world, his status was miles better now.
Through the interface status, he already got a basic idea of things that he should prioritize to build himself and to protect himself from death.
Legolas soon turned around to face Prince Christensen. "Were you serious when you said that you wanted to learn from me?"
Prince Christensen's eyes lit up. "Yes, I was serious!"
"You don't mind my real age as a teenager?"
"It doesn't matter to me". Prince Christensen spoke almost instinctively.
"After I lost my parents, life became much more open to me, I started realizing my inadequacies". He looked straight at Legolas. "I want to be like you, I want to be strong enough to protect myself and those that I love".
"Good". Legolas nodded. "If that is your decision, then we need to set some rules that would guide our relationship as master and student".
"First, you must always obey my instructions".
"Yes, master".
"Second, you must never do anything that will harm the faction or its members".
"Yes, master".
"Third, work hard…, that's the only way that you'll last under me".
Legolas took it a step further. "From the first day that I met you, I knew that you had a lot of hidden potential".
"Really?" Christensen was shocked. "You think I have potential for greatness?"
"Yes". Legolas nodded confidently. "I will help you realize your potential".
"Fourth…"
"Oh, there's another one?"
"You must always obey my instructions". This time, Legolas said it with an unsmiling face and as Christensen looked at him, this prince shuddered.
"Take this book". Legolas threw a book at him.
Prince Christensen grabbed the book and looked at it curiously. On the front page of the book were 2 warriors, one of them held a pistol and was aiming at something, the other seemed to be an adept boxer in a boxing stance.
Legolas explained. "That book contains the agent subclass".
"To learn under me, the first step is for you to overcome your fears".
"Summoners are fragile superhumans compared to the other classes, yes, but its not a ticket for us to be cowards".
Legolas's voice turned deep. "I believe in gym-freak Summoners".
"Apart from controlling and giving your beasts instructions, a good summoner should learn to join when necessary to help his beasts in battle".
"You have a week to fully learn the agent subclass".
Prince Christensen's eyes widened. "I can't…, I can't do it, it took me more than a month before I was able to learn my first basic Summoner knowledge".
"That was when you were still a prince, now you're my student".
"If you fail to learn it in a week, you will no longer be my student". Legolas spoke in a strict tone then he relaxed a bit later.
"But if you succeed, you'll prove yourself able to achieve your great potential and I will reward you with the Shepherd Intermediate Summoner knowledge".
Prince Christensen's eyes widened in shock, he opened his mouth about to say something but he paused as Legolas said one last word.
"I believe in you, I know you can do it".
"…"
These were not the words that a 15-year-old should be saying to a 20-year-old, but Christensen already stopped seeing Legolas like a kid long ago.
Those words ignited a fire in him that he could not explain, he felt his heart burning as he clenched his fists. "I'll do my best".
"Good". Legolas finally stood up. "Stand up, we're leaving".
"Where to?"
"The Mikaryat Mountains are no longer safe for us, the Clown Society would be searching for us all over. I intend to go to the desert, I have a friend there".
"…" Prince Christensen hesitated for a few seconds then he mustered the courage to speak.
"There was a necklace…" He paused then continued. "There is a gold necklace that my mother gave to me, I dropped it in the palace when Butler Damien helped me escape, it is my last surviving memory of my parents".
"And you want to get it back". Legolas completed the sentence for him.
Christensen looked down, feeling slightly ashamed. "Yes".
"Ok". Legolas nodded. "We'll be going to the Palm Island then, get ready".
Christensen was shocked then he bowed emotionally. "Thanks boss, I will never forget this".
