The other teachers nodded in agreement.

Most importantly, Drake had been Dawnbreaker’s homeroom teacher and was usually insufferably arrogant. Now that Drake was gone, the former top team had become nobody’s darling, and everyone else was just watching the train wreck.

“Their fighting style was never like this before. When Joanna was with them, they operated like a finely tuned machine. Now they look like a bunch of clowns.”

“That Cedric can never hold aggro. The monsters have been pulled away multiple times.”

“Lucas’s defensive coverage isn’t complete either. There are always gaps.”

“What is Bruce even doing? Does he just stand there if no one gives him orders?”

“Neil’s performance is decent, at least.”

“Rhoda’s become the firefighter now. That used to be Joanna’s role, didn’t it? How is she not even as combat–capable as a summhoner?”

“This is their final evaluation. Record it accurately. For their career recommendations, just put them down for public dungeon pioneering.”

“What a shame. No teamwork, no brains. All they’re good for is grinding mobs in public dungeons.”

In this world of constant competition, humanity’s academic paths and career positions had long been meticulously divided.

In Joanna’s previous life, students had ground themselves to the bone, fighting through college and graduate school before entering society, all just to gain a few more years of growth, accumulate life experience, and mature mentally before joining the workforce.

Otherwise, entering society too early meant getting scammed more often, facing more setbacks, and living a harder life.

But in this world?

At Grade 10, 16 years old, you awakened your class.

After that, you studied combat techniques, learned about your class, planned your career path, and fought in dungeons from time to time.

By the time Crucible came around, getting into university wasn’t about continuing your education. Universities were platforms that gave you free access to explore more dungeons, and the majors available were all dungeon–focused.

Beast–type Dungeon Studies.

Paranormal Dungeon Studies.

Apocalyptic Survival Dungeon Studies.

Public Dungeon Studies.

Comprehensive Dungeon Studies.

Among these, Comprehensive Dungeon Studies was also known as the Genius Track, suitable for clearing any type of dungeon. Public Dungeon Studies had only a 50% graduation rate. The ones who didn’t graduate weren’t held back. They were dead.

The textbook definition of a cannon fodder major.

Clearly, the teachers‘ recommendation for Lucas and his team was Public Dungeon Studies.

Before, they had always been slated for Comprehensive.

But that was when the team still had Joanna.

The Space Alliance didn’t feed dead weight.

Every person had to be a cog in the machine, placed in the most suitable position to keep the massive machinery of the Space Alliance running at full speed.

At Trinity High, inside Villa One.

Joanna bought Nighthowl a set of equipment.

In human form, Nighthowl could naturally wear human equipment. Why else did people say summoners were money pits?

Many summoned beasts required special energy substances as food. If they weren’t satisfied, their loyalty dropped, and feeding them required serious cash.

Summoned beasts also needed their own separate set of gear.

Humanoid summons could even equip items in every slot just like humans.

“The Bone Detonation skill book sold for seven million, and the staff sold for five million. You earned all of it, so let’s buy you some gear. What kind of weapon do you want? What suits you?”

Joanna asked.

A memory flashed through Nighthowl’s mind.

It seemed like someone had called out to him.

“General!”

A weapon appeared in his hand, its tip planted against the ground. It was a…

“Lance.”

Nighthowl blurted out instinctively.

Joanna looked surprised.

“Only knights use lances. But that type of weapon shouldn’t be too expensive.”

Joanna searched around and sure enough, for three million, she found Nighthowl a lance with no level restriction. Its stats were slightly lower than a Level 10 lance.

Frostgleam Lance (Silver–tier).

After that, she spent another nine million and bought a complete Silver–tier set.

Knight’s Formal Coat (Silver–tier). Price: 3 million Starcoins.

Knight’s Formal Trousers (Silver–tier). Price: 2.5 million Starcoins.

Knight’s Formal Boots (Silver–tier). Price: 2 million Starcoins.

Knight’s Formal Gloves (Silver–tier). Price: 1.5 million Starcoins.

The formal wear wasn’t clunky battle armor. It was more like a tailored suit with tails. If Joanna had to describe it, it reminded her

of an anime she had watched before, like Phantom Thief’s signature white outfit.

However, there was still a formal cape missing, which cost five million, and Joanna was out of money.

Soon, Nighthowl put on the new equipment.

Fortunately, after leveling up three times, he had much better control over his body. His tail and the reverse–jointed wolf legs had transformed into human form. Only his ears and beast–like eyes remained unchanged.

That was fine too. It kept him looking wild and handsome.

Joanna looked him over. He was impeccably dressed, yet the collar around his neck gave him an air of something forbidden.
