Chapter 88: Four Months
Vincent did not stay sad for long. He stood up and walked down the defensive mountain range.
He had not forgotten that he had accepted ten missions from the Special Forces. So far, he had only completed one mission.
As he walked down the mountain, Vincent took out the memory crystal that the middle-aged man had given him. The system’s notification sounded once again.
“Ding! Combat skills that are available to learn have been detected. Host, do you wish to learn?”
“Learn.”
“Ding! Learning, please wait…”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the S-Class combat skill, Sky Splitter! S-Class combat skill, Godly Hundred Revolutions! S-Class combat skill, Heavenly Defense!”
“Sky Splitter: S-Class combat skill. Attacks that slash through skies.”
“Godly Hundred Revolutions: S-Class combat skill. It will explode instantly and was twice the usual speed. It is a huge burden on one’s body. Use with caution.”
“Heavenly Defense: S-Class combat skill. The user gains absolute defense through rapid rotation. The top area is the weak spot.”
“Ding! Combat skills have been included in Mimicry. The host has completely mastered them.”
“Ding! Mimicry has been upgraded to an A-Class combat skill.”
Vincent’s three S-Class combat skills seemed very common when compared to the Purgatory Purification and Black Hole Power. Although Vincent was listening to the system’s explanation of the combat skills, he did not pay much attention to them.
Nevertheless, he still opened his character panel to check his attributes.

Vincent looked at the character panel that had changed drastically and revealed a smile.
He was most happy about the Black Hole myriad races atlas. This was because he had received another piece of information. Although he did not know how many more pieces of information there were in total, he was still very satisfied with his progress.
Vincent finally reached the foot of the defensive mountain range. He then started to look for his target based on his mission card.
The most difficult mission, the Undying Crow Egg, had been completed. The other missions were relatively less difficult.
On the first day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found a high-level monster, the Magnetic Crocodile. He killed it easily with a landslide.
Ten Special Forces missions, progress 2/10.
On the third day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found high-level ore and black gold sand.
Ten Special Forces missions, progress 3/10.
…
On the fifteenth day after leaving the defensive mountain range, Vincent found the lost staff of life.
Ten Special Forces missions, progress 10/10.
After completing all the missions, Vincent was prepared to return to Hero City.
At the same time, he discovered many people gathering at the defensive mountain range. It looked as if there was going to be another Monster Horde.
Vincent thought that he had only been away for about a month.
He spread his World Cleansing Flaming Wings and flew towards Hero City.
His upgraded Flaming Wings were five times faster than before. Everything on the ground flashed past his eyes in an instant.
After ten minutes, Vincent landed on the ground and walked towards the city gate of Hero City.
“Look! It’s Vincent!”
“Charge! Bring him to the Mission Hall, you can get an A-Class psionic equipment!”
“We found Vincent first! You’re not allowed to fight with me!”
“Bullsh*t! I clearly saw him first! Don’t force me to fight you!”
“F*ck! Do you actually want to fight? Brothers, Charge!”
…
Vincent saw several groups of people rushing towards him. He was instantly alerted. They then started fighting. Vincent was confused.
What was going on?
Why were they fighting over him?
It did not make sense!
He was only gone for less than a month.
What exactly happened in Hero City?
Vincent walked into Hero City confused.
The other people who were fighting all stopped. They looked at each other and scrambled to chase after Vincent.
Vincent did not pay much attention to them. However, he did not expect more and more people to gather around him along the way. Many of them looked at him in excitement. This made Vincent even more confused.
When he arrived at the Mission Hall, Vincent looked at the group of people that were standing by the door. He was stunned.
Why did he alarm so many people?
Sibis, Teacher Chris, Angelina, Avril, Chris, Nabil, Swire, Johnny…
People who he knew and did not know were all there.
Sibis heaved a sigh of relief.
“Vincent!”
“Vincent!”
Teacher Chris and Angelina threw themselves into Vincent’s arms and hugged him tightly. They wept and refused to let go.
Angelina, in particular, was hanging onto Vincent like a koala bear.
Avril took a few steps forward, but she stopped herself. Her face was calm, but her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.
Vincent was a little embarrassed. He looked to Sibis for help.
Sibis stared at Vincent angrily, but he still stepped forward to help Vincent out.
“You two are done! Vincent is back, we’ll talk about it when we get back. What are you thinking? In public?”
Teacher Chris knew that she had lost her composure. She stood up awkwardly and rolled her eyes at Vincent flirtatiously. There were tears on her eyelashes which made her look extremely flirtatious. It made Vincent lose his focus for a moment.
Angelina did not care. She just continued to hug Vincent tightly.
Vincent was helpless. He could only pat Angelina’s head. He then said softly, “Alright! I’m back. Let me go first. At least tell me what happened!”
Angelina heard what Vincent said and let go of his body reluctantly. However, she was still holding onto Vincent’s arm tightly. She refused to let him go.
The people behind Vincent started to yell for Sibis’s attention.
“General Sibis! We found Vincent!”
“General Sibis! Don’t listen to their nonsense. We were the ones who found Vincent first!”
“Go away! Can you even see Vincent with those eyes of yours? Principal Sibis! It’s me! I’m the one who brought Vincent back!”
…
Everyone else said the same thing. Vincent was confused, but he could roughly guess what was going on.
Sibis glared at Vincent again and said in a clear and loud voice, “Everyone! Although I don’t know which one of you found Vincent, everyone has contributed during this period of time. Each of you will get an A-Class psionic equipment!”
“How about this? Everyone that is present today will receive A-Class psionic equipment. In addition, to express my gratitude to everyone, each of you will be rewarded with 100,000 psionic coins!”
Vincent was shocked by Sibis’s generosity. There were at least 50,000 people present. That was 50,000 A-Class psionic equipment and 500 million psionic coins!
Although the people behind Vincent were not very satisfied with the reward, they knew that there was nothing that they could do about it.
After all, there was no way to verify who was the first to see Vincent, so they could only agree.
Sibis arranged for Johnny to distribute the rewards to everyone. He turned his head and looked at Vincent with a gloomy face.
“Follow me!” he said.
Sibis then pulled his hands in front of him, and a temporary dimensional portal appeared in front of them.
“Teacher! Wait! Let me hand in the missions first,” said Vincent.
Vincent took Angelina and ran into the Mission Hall. He handed in all ten missions at once.
The members of the Special Forces all widened their eyes after they saw Vincent handing in the completed missions.
Back then, they all thought that Vincent was just trying to act cool by taking on ten missions. They were all waiting to see Vincent make a fool of himself. They did not expect Vincent, who had gone missing for nearly four months, to complete the ten missions and return safely.
The ten missions had been hanging in the Mission Hall for at least half a year. Yet, they were completed by Vincent in just four months!
This was an ability that no one in the Special Forces possessed.
From that moment on, they were completely convinced that Vincent was indeed a Squadron Leader that had descended from the sky.
After submitting the missions, Vincent brought Angelina back to Sibis.
Sibis did not say anything. He was the first to step into the temporary dimensional portal.
The others also walked in one after another. When they passed Vincent, they each gave him a meaningful look.
When Swire walked past, Vincent pulled him back.
“Swire, long time no see! How are the preparations for the freshmen tournament going?” asked Vincent.
When Swire heard what Vincent had said, he looked at him like he was looking at a monster. When he saw Vincent’s sincere expression, he felt awkward.
“Two months have passed since the freshmen tournament…”
“What? Two months?”
Vincent’s eyes widened in shock.
Two months?
That’s not right!
The freshmen tournament was supposed to happen one month after school had started at Quinn. When Vincent left Hero City, classes had not even started yet.
If that was the case, then it would have been nearly four months since he left Hero City!
It only took him 16 days to complete the missions. That meant that he had stayed in the Utopia Fantasy Land for more than three months!
Vincent finally understood why everyone was so excited to see him.
“Good luck, brother. It seems like Principal Sibis is really angry,” said Swire.
Swire tapped Vincent on the shoulder with some schadenfreude and walked into the temporary teleportation portal.
Vincent rubbed his forehead and looked up into the sky.
“Master, you’ve really screwed me up!”
