Rishi couldn't sleep, so he decided to return to the Dungeon. He paid the entry fee and entered the Dungeon again.
He and Vakar increased their cooperation and summoned Sheru to speed up their exp farming. Rishi devised a fighting technique for Vakar.
Vakar was a natural fit for the mage role, so Rishi made him a full-fledged mage. He converted all of Vakar's free stats into MP and Stamina.
MP was needed to cast spells, whereas Stamina was needed so Vakar could fly without a need to rest.
He then commanded Vakar to fight against a level 9 magical beast.
The wild magic beast attacked Vakar. As soon as he saw him, he used his full power to finish Vakar in one attack; Vakar carefully dodged all its attacks before counterattacking with his skill 'water bullet' to injure its legs.
It was tough to aim the newly learned skill, but Vakar had great control, and the magic beast also got tired because of using so much Stamina.
When the wild beast slowed down, Vakar used his most vital skill, 'feather attack.' A sharp feather detached from his wings and pierced the magical beast's head before exploding, leaving behind a headless corpse.
They slaughtered the magical beasts for a while before Vakar finally reached level ten. Rishi peered into Vakar's status window.

He smiled as he examined Vakar's statistics. He wanted to check more things when he yawned.
"I should get some sleep because if I sleep in class on the first day, all my classmates will make fun of me."

Rishi was sound asleep when his alarm clock went off. He awoke and checked the time; there was only one hour left.
He quickly showered, brushed his teeth, and changed into his uniform.
The uniform consisted of a white half-shirt with a navy necktie and navy blue pants.
Rishi and his roommates went to the mess to eat their light breakfast. They then proceeded to the lecture hall for their first class.
Because all first-year students had some standard classes here, the lecture room was quite large to accommodate all the students. Rishi, Lalit, and Manu sat in the middle seats and started discussing the academy.
When the professor entered the room, the entire class was chatting.
"Good morning, Mam," all students said as they rose from their seats.
Professor Riya was a woman in her thirties with red wavy hair and scarlet eyes. She gave the students a friendly smile and said, "Good morning, students. Please take your seat."
She became even more enticing when she smiled, making the hearts of many boys race.
She then began talking about magic beasts. How are all magic beasts different.
What are the various habitats in which they live.
She was teaching so well that the students didn't even realize the class was over until the bell rang.
Then after waiting for some time, the second professor entered the class, and all the students again stood up and greeted him.
The second class was taken by Professor KK, which covered everything from different job classes to their benefits and drawbacks.
He also showed the students how to choose a suitable job class and compensate for their weaknesses.
All students were required to go to the field for the third class. It was a fighting class where all students learned how to control their contract beasts and fight with them.
Fighting a human beast tamer was much more complex than fighting a wild beast. Therefore, the techniques and strategies used in these battles were very different.
The teacher then asked the students to volunteer; Rishi didn't want to draw attention to himself, so he didn't volunteer; Lalit was too lazy to go to the stage, and Manu was the shy type.
So the three of them decided to step back.
After some time, two students volunteered.
Two volunteers entered the fighting arena, the first summoning a small magic beast that resembled a small wolf and the other a bull-type magic beast.
The first student asked his contract beast to charge at the opposing beast, while the second commanded his contract beast to defend itself.
Both magical beasts exchanged several moves for a while before the professor intervened. He pointed out some of their errors while also applauding some of their good decisions.
Rishi and his roommates then parted ways to attend their respective classes.
Rishi preferred the sword class, Lalit the shield class, and Manu, the spear class.
He went to his class in a training hall; as soon as Rishi entered the class, he could see different types of swords in every corner of the room. Some were small, some were big, some were straight, and some were curved.
He could also see 30 students waiting for the teacher; many were carrying swords with them. Rishi also took out his Talwar, so he didn't attract unnecessary attention.
The teacher entered the room after some time; he was a 25-year-old man with a good beard and physique.
He started his class by discussing various swords and their advantages and disadvantages.
He was a very talented and passionate teacher; he learned to wield all types of swords, from the roman sword to the katana.
He also taught the students how to effectively counter other job classes and kill magic beasts.
