Chapter 22 - Adventurer Zones

Instructor Per, who always looks like he's in a hurry to go home, immediately took everyone's attendance.

"Good, looks like everyone is present. The lesson today is about adventurer zones."

After confirming that everyone was present, Instructor Per nodded in satisfaction.

"As you all know, there is a beginner adventurer zone just outside the city and I'm pretty sure that most of you know about the intermediate adventurer zone just half an hour away from Colzen City."

"However, as I said last time about the creature ranks, there are also different ranks for adventurer zones, and knowing what rank of creatures inhabit these zones will surely be a big help.

He then stopped speaking, took out his feathered writing pen, enlarged the writing pen, and wrote the following:

-----------------

Adventurer Zones and Creatures Inside Each Zone:

Beginner Adventurer Zone = E- 

Intermediate Adventurer Zone = E , D- , D, 

Advanced Adventurer Zone = C-, C, B-, B

Expert Adventurer Zone = A- , A

Death Zone = S-, S

Mythical Zone = Mythical creatures

----------------

The whole class went silent because they were all focusing on Instructor Per's lesson. 

Although this instructor always dismissed his class early, all of his lessons were actually not only important but also enjoyable.

Seeing that the whole class was still attentive and waiting for him to speak, Instructor Per continued.

"As you can see here, the beginner adventurer zone outside the city only has E- creatures at best, and obviously, that's why they are called beginner adventurer zones."

"Still, the strength of each E- ranked creature varies and the strongest ones possess strength that can endanger the lives of even second-year students so do not underestimate the E- ranked creatures."

"However, I believe that some of you here have already started adventuring and were even regular visitors of the beginner adventurer zone."

Instructor Per gave a deep look to Shye, Anthony, and Shirley before continuing

"In addition, I even heard about a report where a guy from your class managed to take down an apex E- ranked creature, the gale leopard."

"Although I know that some of you are very strong compared to others within the same age group, please do not overestimate yourselves and put your life in danger. Always remember to advance cautiously."

There was a bit of commotion after Instructor Per said that there was someone in their class who took down a gale leopard alone. 

They all glanced at Shye, it was easy to guess who it was because their captain, Shye Crowley was the strongest in their class.

"Silence! Let's continue the lesson. As for intermediate zones, these zones are one of the most famous zones because most of the ordinary adventurers make a living inside these zones."

"These ordinary adventurers were the ones who either started late or didn't make it into adventurer academies so they were mostly stuck in steel, bronze, and silver ranks."

"This is because these adventurers didn't have any sort of guidance from experienced adventurers so they struggled to improve because they had to take a trial and error approach to everything and sometimes, even lose their lives in the process."

"Not only these adventurers, the third-year and fourth-year students of adventurer academies mostly spend their time inside intermediate adventurer zones, and sometimes, even a few of the stronger second year students go inside to hunt."

"However, this only applies to average adventurer academies like ours. The top tier adventurer academies on the same level as Freia Adventurer Academy, Aslan Adventurer Academy, and Eusford Adventurer Academy, have students who go inside advanced adventurer zones to hunt."

Shye and his classmates were amazed. It seems there is quite a gap between Colzen Adventurer Academy and the top-tier academies.

"There's no need to wonder how strong those guys are since every year there will be a huge tournament that involves all adventurer academies in our region, you will see the strength of the top academies of our region there."

The whole class was excited upon hearing that there would be a huge tournament involving every academy in the region at the end of the year.

It would be their chance to see the prowess of not only the top academies in the region but also the prowess of their upperclassmen.

"Now, for the advanced adventurer zones and above, since it wouldn't be realistic for you guys to go inside the advanced adventurer zones yet, let's discuss it next time."

"That's all for the class today. Dismissed!"

"..." 

"This baldy is indeed too lazy!"
