Frostfire Legacy

With Aster persistently chasing the Daft Eagles, their skirmish ended in just a short 10 minutes. By then, not a single eagle was within sight, signifying that they had already hunted all of them within the vicinity.

All in all, they killed roughly 500 Daft Eagles, quite a large number when you consider that they were circling a 100 sq. km. area only—a small fraction of the entire floor's area.

With that, the girls all gained a few levels, pushing them to reach level 53, respectively. The minor differences in their EXP levels before had now evened out, making them all level up basically at the same time.

After clearing the eagles, they landed on the ground to both recharge the Van's Mana and also to let Argus rest. As such, the girls didn't insist on hunting while on the ground. They didn't even try looting the Daft Eagles' carcasses, as they were either burned to a crisp by lightning or smashed into a paste after crashing against the EM Van at full speed.

"We should visit the Class Exchange Hall later," Aster commented as they relaxed, eating some snacks. "Everyone has already reached over level 50. You can already rank up your classes, or even gain new skills."

Of course, their classes were only at the common and uncommon range, allowing them to class up every 15 to 20 levels. As such, now that they're over level 50, they should be eligible for at most 2 class-ups each.

"It would be great if I could get a rare class option during class-up..." Cassy commented as she nibbled a cookie, looking a little down.

Since the number of times one could class up is limited, getting a higher rarity class early is a lot more beneficial than later. After all, the higher the rarity, the longer the gap between each class-up is. Just like with Aster's Unique Mythic Class, which ranks up every 45 levels. And the longer the gap between each class-up is, the bigger the benefits.

"I'm pretty sure you'll get a rare class at least, Cassy," Liz smiled as she comforted the melancholic rabbit. "You're the only one in the world with a Revive Skill. It would be weird if you didn't get any new class from that!"

"I hope so..."

"I'm pretty sure I'll be getting at least a Rare Class too," Tina muttered with pride, puffing her chest confidently. "Maybe the Epic Mechanical Pugilist or the Rare Elemental Monk!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Dream on," Kali scoffed as she sipped her tea.

"Oh, is this jealousy? I'm sure Ms. Assassin will still get Assassin anyway. Ohoho!"

Kali's brows twitched, hearing Tina's light provocation. "Oh? Quite confident, eh? Then, during class-up later, whoever gets a less rare class would lick the other's feet. Dare?"

"Bring it on! I'll make sure to step on mud before letting you lick my feet clean!"

"Remember your words. I'll make you eat them later."

After listening to the two cats trying to humiliate each other, Liz smiled wryly while trying to mediate. "You two, calm down a little."

"No way!"

"She started it!"

About an hour later, when the Van's Mana was fully charged, they resumed their travel—or rather, leek farming. The experience from the Daft Eagles was too enticing to be ignored, so Aster didn't let a single one of them escape.

Due to such delays, it took them a total of nine hours to clear the entirety of the 51st floor!

It was beneficial, however, as the girls all reached level 60 quite quickly. They were still under-leveled for the floor's monsters, but at least, they were catching up to the average quickly.

After reaching the 52nd floor, the time was already 3 p.m., so they decided to leave the dungeon for now. They wouldn't want the Class Exchange Hall to close its doors on them if they headed out way too late, after all.

When they got out, the familiar, everyday scenery outside the dungeon's portal welcomed them. The hustle and bustle, the chatter, and the mix of hope and despair were just the same as usual.

Of course, they didn't walk to their destination. Instead, they called for a taxi service big enough to hold all five of them.

"Welcome, Aster. It's been a while."

As soon as they arrived at the Class Exchange Hall, there stood a familiar face—Faeloria Shadowleaf—welcoming them as if she knew they were coming beforehand.

"Yes, it's been a while," Aster smiled back before getting into business immediately. "My party members would like to try for a class-up. Can you lead the way?"

"Of course!" Faeloria smiled, sweeping a gaze across everyone's faces. "Then, please follow me. This way."

With the Director of the Class Exchange Hall herself meeting them, the five were able to bypass the long line, going to the private machines usually reserved for staff and other important personnel. Of course, it wasn't Aster's first time seeing it, as he had used it before already.

"Who's going first?" Faeloria asked, a smile still pasted on her face.

She was technically wrapped around Aster's right arm, making Tina snarl in anger from a short distance away. Of course, she tried to pull Faeloria off Aster already, but the difference in their strength was way too vast, causing her attempts to fail beautifully.

Kali merely sent a side glance over to Aster, judgingly, while Liz kept a blank face, keeping her gaze fixed on the point of contact between the two. Cassy, the only one who didn't seem affected, raised her hand and volunteered.

"T-Then, I'll go first."

Faeloria noticed Cassy's eyes immediately and gasped. "Oh, you're Ms. Bright, right? Let me help you."

Of course, it was an act. She knew Cassy beforehand, but the same didn't work for Cassy. After all, when Aster, Faeloria, and Vanessa saved her, she could only interact with Aster before fainting, causing her to not know of the other two's identities.

Faeloria helped Cassy over gently, helping her press her palm on top of the machine. Not only that, she even tinkered with it a bit, turning on the audio-assist module for the blind.

After a few seconds of Cassy touching the panel, the machine started to load. It didn't take too long—only a minute later—before the display changed, showing the possible class-up choices for Cassy to choose from. The machine's AI Voice read each item for Cassy out loud, but it caused everyone else who could hear it to gape in shock.
