Chapter 281: Fifteen-Year-Old Sixth Tier?

"Wow, a contestant! You want to knock me off the stage, huh? You have ambition!" Aileen gave Karoso a thumbs up.

Well, kids are supposed to be a little ambitious; it’s normal.

Anyway, all the participants are knights. Even if he doesn’t admit defeat, they won’t go too hard on him.

Karoso realized that while he had achieved his goal of getting to know her, this woman didn’t make him feel happy at all.

『』 and Alita also saw Karoso as a child; they had the glow of teachers.

Someone like Elizabeth completely did not see Karoso as a child.

"Okay, it’s time to sign up. You can stand behind me," Aileen tugged at Karoso’s wrist, pulling him behind her.

"By the way, did you tell your family that you’re competing at such a young age? Is it for the prize money? It’s quite a lot, but you need to be capable to win it," Aileen said to Karoso as she turned around.

"I can make my own decisions." Karoso suddenly felt a wave of frustration.

"Awesome!" Aileen gave a big thumbs up again.

Karoso really wanted to snap her thumb…

[Hahaha, Master Karoso was underestimated.]

[In the future, Aileen will be defeated by Master Karoso in just a few rounds.]

[Honey Karoso, take her down!]

[How do I do that?]

[Don’t lead Honey Karoso astray!]

[I’m fourteen; I’m not a kid anymore. I was already… in middle school…]

The bullet comments gradually became disrespectful.

……

In the distance, a middle-aged man with a bow quietly watched Karoso and Aileen, slightly frowning.

Someone is approaching the princess? Who are they, a wasted noble or something else?

"Fourth Brother." He waved his hand.

Soon, two guys in black cloaks came to his side, "Eldest Brother."

"Go find out what that little brat is up to, and if there’s a problem, send him away," the middle-aged man said.

Clearly, Aileen, running away from home, thought she had hidden from her family’s sight, but it was a bit wishful thinking.

If a little girl like her can escape, the Pande Empire’s royal family would be in big trouble.

A team protects Ailina. The leader is a seventh-tier hunter, the second is a sixth-tier knight, the third is a sixth-tier warrior, the fourth is a sixth-tier hunter, the fifth is a sixth-tier Nature Mage, the sixth brother is a sixth-tier thief, and the seventh and eighth are Pastors.

This team can easily deal with three seventh-tier enemies.

Maybe everyone has raised their expectations because of Master Karoso’s perspective. In theory, having a seventh-tier bodyguard is already quite good; for example, Teresa only has Will, who is seventh-tier.

If it weren’t for the favor Minaret owes to Osiris and Karoso’s knack for causing trouble, Karoso wouldn’t have an eighth-tier secretly protecting him.

Normally, enemies Karoso’s age encounters should be at least fourth-tier, and fifth-tier ones are already quite rare.

No one else, like Karoso, directly confronts deities.

With Karoso’s experience in confronting deities, just his one-time destruction of the God of Wisdom statue, one instance of challenging Neymar when she was possessed by the God of Wisdom, and one strike against hunger, even an eighth-tier wouldn’t have such rich experience.

……

Soon, Karoso signed up.

Aileen just took out her Professional Badge, checked her card set, and that meant she had successfully registered.

But when it came to Karoso, things got stuck.

"What is this…?" The staff member looked confused, "You have the identity of a knight…"

"Kingdom of Persia, Canglang Province, Night Wish Knight Group, Knight," Karoso said seriously, "This is my Knight Badge."

"What about your Professional Badge?" The staff member looked up at Karoso.

He checked Karoso’s Knight Badge, and it was indeed real, not a cheap souvenir.

Could it be that he stole it from an adult at home?

"I’m only fifteen, I don’t have a Professional Badge, and I still need half a semester to get one," Karoso shook his head.

Many people were frequently glancing over.

Fifteen years old and already has fourth-tier magic?

Wow, this is a genius!

It seems that the fastest person to reach fourth-tier in history was also fifteen.

Normally, you need to be sixteen to break through, then there is a rapid growth phase that lasts for several years, much like how teenagers grow quickly in high school.

Generally speaking, if a family can support it, most people reach sixth-tier by around twenty.

Don’t be fooled by just one year difference; that one year is like racing against professional sprinters who can be one to two seconds faster. It’s not just a one-star difference.

"Where did this kid come from?"

"I don’t know…"

"I haven’t heard of anyone being fourth-tier at fifteen."

"I didn’t pay attention to this…"

"I have heard that last year, Her Royal Highness Princess Teresa from the Presea Empire made a breakthrough."

"Isn’t she a warrior? If there is someone like that in the knights, it should be widely reported."

Clearly, there is a huge difference between Karoso and Teresa; the fame of a duke’s son and that of an emperor’s daughter are completely different things.

"Coming to compete just after reaching the fourth tier, isn’t he trying to make everyone aware of his achievement?"

"It’s quite clever to take this opportunity to gain fame."

Those people did not see Karoso as a rival; he is just too young.

What combat experience can such a small child have? How much magic power does he possess? At his age, he hasn’t reached the peak of physical strength or agility yet.

"He is growing quite fast… Fourth tier, huh?" The staff member was a bit puzzled; it was his first time welcoming such a young guest.

"Fifteen years old, fourth tier…"

At that moment, Aileen also realized, looking at Karoso with disbelief.

Before, she only noticed that Karoso was a little kid and never thought about what being a fifteen-year-old fourth tier really meant!

"You are amazing," Aileen said with a smile in her eyes.

"Sixth tier." Karoso placed his hand on a crystal ball.

This crystal ball can accurately test magical power and bone age, preventing some people from cheating.

Soon, the results for Karoso appeared.

Magical power level: sixth tier (beginner)

Bone age: 15.

"Sixth-tier? Wow, is that really so impressive?"

"What kind of extraordinary talent is this?"

"This is impossible!"

Many people were shocked at first, and now they are confused.

Growing so fast, being sixth-tier at just fifteen, what’s going to happen when he gets older?

However, some people now showed a look of sadness in their eyes.

"Ah… what a wonderful child, and just like that, ruined."

"Ruined? What do you mean? Being sixth-tier at such a young age is scarier than being fourth-tier, isn’t it?"

"If you had money, you would understand. Fourth-tier is a genius, sixth-tier… sigh…"

"To break through to the fourth tier relies on understanding, it takes a genius to achieve it, but after reaching the fourth tier, one can directly rise to the sixth tier with a special potion. However, if this continues, growth will become impossible… It’s like ruining a great sword!"

"Were you tricked?"

"You must have been tricked. How could such a small child resist the temptation of rapid advancement?"

"His family must have offended a very powerful person who doesn’t want to see him grow."
