138 For the Grades! (1/2)

”This should be enough,” he said as a frown weaved in his face due to the smell of smoke.

After making transformations skills for almost two hours, he was only able to successfully make another three Random Creature Transformation Skill along with the eleven copies of the wolf transformation skill.

”I hope that they would be lucky this time around and would be able to generate a transformation skill that had no cooldown, nor time limit on its use,” Pedro said as he changes his eyes back to its normal state.

That said, no one woke up even after Pedro stood and finished doing a couple of stretches. He could only force out a smile in response as he scratched the back of his head, thinking, 'Why aren't they waking up?'

He pondered for a few seconds before he learned the answer to his own question and burst into laughter. His laughter echoed throughout the deathly silent forest, giving the vibes of a demon lord who had just successfully accomplished his goals.

Then, when he calmed down, he said, ”I almost forgot! Two hours in the game is equivalent to an hour in the real world. No wonder that no one is still up.”

”Well... I can't blame them.” He shook his head and sighed, ”Killing hundreds to thousands of monsters... Then, we are about to go to war against other players? It was understandable for me to stay online in the game the longest because of my real body's condition. But for them... They were working way past what could be considered overtime!”

He glanced towards Sabrina, Mathew, and Talia--amazed with their hard work and dedication. Truth be told, Pedro was only able to attain everything he had through Luck and with the use of his past knowledge. On the other hand, Sabrina, Mathew, and Talia were able to make it through hard work, will, strength, and talent.

Yes, It is undeniable that Pedro made a huge contribution to their growth as a player. But... They won't be able to reach what they have right now if they did not use or utilize what Pedro gave them properly.

In fact, Pedro purposely left them to their own accord because he didn't want them to become dependent on him on the game. Though Pedro really handled threats that were impossible for the three to face, being left against a never-ending wave of monsters and being able to survive to the point that they were even able to take advantage of the situation was something that even professional players would have had a hard time to accomplish unless huge resources were spent on them to do so.

That is why having Sabrina, Mathew, and Talia was of huge help to him. And at the same time, he could only hope that Arvedar and his friends would be the same.

After a few more minutes, Yojiro was the first one to wake up. His eyes suddenly opened and started scanning around as his body remained in place and had retained the same breathing rhythm before he woke up.
