The Author's POV

Chapter 217

12 P.M

Outside of the portal gates of the dungeon trials.

—Beeep!

"...and that marks the end of the trial"

With a stopwatch in his hand, the instructor in charge of the dungeon trials announced the ending of the class. Following this, all of the students inside of the dungeon stopped whatever they were doing and exited the dungeon.

—Wooosh! —Wooosh!

It was only after ten minutes had passed that everyone had finally exited the dungeon. Doing a headcount, the instructor nodded his head and tapped on the tablet in his hands.

"Alright, that seems to be everyone...I'll quickly post the team results online"

—Ping! —Ping!

Instantly everyone's watch vibrated.

1st Place - [Team 23]

2nd Place - [Team 15]

3rd Place - [Team 7]

"Third place huh?"

Having just exited the portal, I suddenly felt my watch vibrate. Turning my wrist, I stared at the leaderboards. I was instantly surprised by my group standings.

Despite not having killed the boss monster, we had actually managed to secure third place.

Not bad.

"You've got third place? That's pretty good"

Arriving next to me, Kevin looked at the rankings on his watch. His team got second.

"Not as good as you. You've got second place"

"It doesn't really matter since second place doesn't really get anything"

Kevin shrugged his shoulders.

Only first placed individuals got the extra points. Second place and below only had boasting rights.

Not that it mattered, since he wasn't someone that liked to boast.

"You're right"

"By the way, when did Jin become so strong?"

Suddenly Kevin switched the topic. Recalling the moment when Jin beat the five-tusked Mammuth, Kevin's face couldn't help but become serious.

During that moment, Kevin was actually able to see Jin's last attack. Albeit only slightly, he knew that Jin right now was leagues above the Jin of the past.
