Chapter 73 Part 1: Master Karoso’s Weakness (1)

When Karoso found Teresa, she was wearing only a tank top, shorts, and carrying a heavy load, practicing sword fighting.

"Oh, why do you have so much free time?" Teresa saw Karoso approaching and casually slung a sword as tall as a person over her shoulder.

Karoso looked at her sword. It wasn’t Teresa’s legendary weapon but a heavy sword made of dust steel, which is hard to sharpen and very heavy. It doesn’t have any other advantages besides its weight and is only good for training.

Karoso also has a sword like that.

"Are you here to practice with me?" Teresa’s eyes gleamed.

Seeing Karoso, she felt like practicing again.

In God of War, The Favored One has a lot of strength, agility, and stamina boosts, along with incredible natural talent and vast combat experience.

Having someone of the same age as an opponent, Teresa didn’t feel lonely.

"No, I’m here to ask for your help," Karoso said.

"Great, tell me, how can I help?"

Clang!

Teresa casually placed the big sword on the weapon rack, making a loud noise.

"Do you want to teach that annoying guy a lesson?" Teresa said excitedly. "We can put a sack over him and beat him up, right?"

"He doesn’t deserve my help," Karoso said helplessly.

This Teresa seems a bit violent.

"Okay, what’s up?" Teresa lost some interest when she realized Karoso wasn’t planning to beat someone up.

"In five days, I want to go to a lower-level dungeon. I’m not sure how to conquer it," Karoso said. "Can you come with me?"

"Sure!"

Teresa didn’t take the risks of dungeons seriously at all.

Both Teresa and Karoso were educated in a way that involved a lot of dangerous situations.

"Hmm, in five days, our expedition group will be leaving the day after tomorrow…" Teresa touched her chin and smiled slightly, "It’s rare for you to ask me to do something so exciting, I can have my private jet waiting here."

"Thank you," Karoso expressed his gratitude sincerely.

Merlin is definitely not a weak person, and the people she leads are not weak either.

Her attempts to find Shuowang Gold have all failed, and Karoso doesn’t have absolute certainty either.

With Teresa by his side, Karoso’s chances of success will be much higher.

"Why five days later?" Teresa asked curiously.

"It was foretold by a prophet that a dungeon will appear in five days, and its location is very hidden," Karoso explained.

"Got it, if even you feel uncertain, then it must be very dangerous. I’ll prepare well in these next few days," Teresa clenched her fist, "I hope this dungeon won’t disappoint me."

……

In the evening, Karoso attended a gathering as usual.

This gathering was grand, with a total of four venues: one for Card Makers, one for Warriors, one for Elemental Mages, and one for Mechanics.

The four venues were open simultaneously. Karoso specifically sought out Neymar, asking her to leave confinement for a few hours to attend the Elemental Mage gathering.

Such large gatherings were beneficial for everyone.

Karoso wanted to attend both the Warrior and Card Maker gatherings.

Thankfully, the Warrior gathering was simple and quick to interact with, while the Card Maker gathering was slower. Karoso first went to the Warrior gathering.

All the enrolled Warriors could participate in this gathering, not just those in competitions or in the S class.

The atmosphere at the Warrior gathering was chaotic, making it the "most boisterous class" in the school.

Warriors were more straightforward and less formal.

As for their chat that sounded like a vegetable market, part of it was because of the competition.

Their chat was probably about…

"Hey, our juniors seem a bit weak."

"Yeah, they can’t compare to us back then. When I was in second grade, how many opponents did I defeat in competitions?"

"Each generation is weaker than the last."

"These losers have the nerve to attend Marl Academy?"

"I heard that our reputation was restored by a first-grade student in the end."

"First grade? Was that trained by the school, or were they already skilled?"

"Haha… Not just a first grader, but also a Card Maker."

"Huh? A card maker fighting a warrior?"

"No, did a card maker help a warrior to regain face?"

"Isn’t this like asking a researcher to bring two kitchen knives to the battlefield?"

"If I were a third rank, I would rather die now!"

It can be said that besides the third rank, everyone else was quite happy chatting.

The warrior students from Marl Academy’s third rank all looked as gloomy as charcoal.

They thought they were unlucky, how could they compete with someone like Teresa from other years?

They are now hating on Karoso, if they all lost it would have been fine, but Karoso managed to have a draw instead.

A draw is a draw, but Karoso is still a card maker!

"Quiet." The prince stood at the front, with two teachers from other academies beside him.

At the prince’s call, the venue quieted down.

"For this exchange meeting, we are fortunate to have students from Bear Academy and Avalon Academy. We believe everyone will discover their own shortcomings this time…"

"At Marl Academy, we have never been afraid of losing. Our academy’s mission is to nurture talents…"

"Discovering shortcomings and making up for them is the true essence of this exchange meeting…"

Karoso was getting tired of the half-hour long speech.

For some reason, these speeches always had so much nonsense.

"Alright, so the warrior exchange meeting is now officially beginning." The prince spoke up, "Please, every student who has stepped onto the arena, come up to the stage."
