Scion of Time Gaming System!

When Bai Long opened the door and entered, all of the students have returned to the classroom. The class was so filled to the brim with students that it looks like an endless colony of ants. Bai Long was the only professor in charge of teaching formation. As each student's benefit greatly from his lectures, they have come to Marvin's class.

"I'm not sure if you were already aware, but today, due to special circumstances, I will not be giving lessons. Then, everyone, who doesn't belong to this class, take your textbooks and return to your assigned classes."

'Guess we won't be able to enjoy the windfall from heaven's today,'

Hearing Bai Long words, the students immediately felt disappointed. They had all taken out their books on formation in advance. But now, it seems like they would have to return empty-handed.

"Please Venerable professor, how about a short lecture before we go away?"

"Yes, Venerable professor. We will feel very grateful if you don't send us empty-handed.'

Some students started to beg Bai Long.

Marvin was lost for a moment because he did not expect to see so many students entering their class to attend Bai Long's lecture. 'This teacher must be really famous. It's only been a week since he transferred to our class. But he is already called Venerable! He is also nice since he gave books on formation knowledge to the students who made the correct choice. Sadly, I missed all his lectures…"

Marvin internally praised Bai Long while looking at the screen that appeared in his vision as he touched the book on formation knowledge.

‹The Gamer can learn this book on formation knowledge by paying 100 XP, this book will be extremely useful to the guardian in understanding the fundamental of formations and their weaknesses›

'Sure, I heard formation Masters can dominate a horde of magical beasts and protect a similar amount by setting up their formations!'

‹Consumed 100 XP›

‹Task Established! Transferring the knowledge of the book to the Gamer's soul. 10%… 20%… 30%…40%!› Noah's mechanical voice sounded out once more.

Several images depicting formation items and different auxiliary items were transferred directly to Marvin's soul. Furthermore, a large amount of knowledge regarding formation was also transferred directly into his soul.

Along with the rush of knowledge, Marvin's eyes blurred as if he was lost in thoughts. Marvin's careless and unfocused state stood out and caught Bai Long's attention.

At first, Bai Long did not recognize Marvin, as his looks have drastically improved. Marvin seemed imposing as his bright silver eyes had a piercing gaze, and even Bai Long felt difficulty in looking him straight in the eyes. But upon seeing his greyish hairs and somewhat familiar features he immediately realized that it is Marvin.

'Marvin Noah, it's been a while since I last saw this student in the class. I had high expectations for this student but he didn't attend the class for a whole week. I should check how much of a disappointment he is,' Bai Long sarcastically thought as he smiled at the students and said, "Alright, since you all want to I will give a short lesson."

At first, Bai Long wasn't gonna waste any time teaching before testing the talent of each student of class 12-D. But now, after he saw Marvin, he decided to give a lesson. More specifically, he wanted to give Marvin a lesson and kick him out of his class. He rather disliked Marvin. Because Marvin did not attend his lessons for a whole week, Bai Long–who is respected by the students belonging to normal and influential families–believes that Marvin doesn't have a speck of interest in his lessons or a hint of respect for him. Kevin said.

"Student Marvin, it's been a week since you last came to school. Was there any special reason for your absence?"

The transfer of knowledge ended just in time, and Marvin honestly replied to Bai Long while feeling impressed by Noah, once again.

"Professor, I was busy hunting in the wilderness,"

'Is hunting in the wilderness more important than teacher Bai Long lessons?'

Hearing Marvin's reply, some of the students gasped loudly.

'This poor sod.'

'His brain is certainly damaged. To miss such a god sent opportunity just to hunt in the wilderness, what a retard.'

The students who didn't know that Marvin has drastically improved and challenged all of the bullying gangs looked at him with disdain.

The formation's master knowledge wasn't easy to come by.

Heck, even the most powerful families of the upper district will show respect to a Formation Master and force their kids to attend a formation master class. But Marvin has so easily chosen hunting in the wilderness over attending the class of a Formation Master.

Unbelievable!

"Oh… so you were busy hunting in the wilderness."

Venerable Professor Bai Long was also was raging inside. He was unable to believe that hunting in the wilderness was the reason behind Marvin's week of absence.

"Certainly, yes,"

"I guess for student Marvin, hunting in the wilderness is more important than the lecture of a formation master. I'm certain he has got plenty of knowledge about formation. Am I right?" Bai Long stared right at Marvin, who was impressed with his judgment.

Bai Long was too accurate to be true.

Marvin really had plenty of knowledge about formation.

He had mastered everything inside the book on formation knowledge!

"Yes, sir, thanks for the praise. It's all because you gave me this book and I memorized it entirely that I possess plenty of knowledge about formations and stand a chance of becoming a formation master." Marvin replied, expressing his heartfelt gratitude.

Does this student not understand sarcasm?

Most of the students in the class internally laughed, unable to believe that a nut head like Marvin exists. Meanwhile, Fatty Liam felt like his brother will be face slapping all of them. Whereas, Bai Long grinned widely.

"In that case, here's a question for you. What are the fundamental of formation masters."

This was the most simplest question. Most of the students in the class could answer it. But they and Bai Long believed that Marvin–who had never even attended his lessons before–will not be able to provide an answer.

Bai Long purposely asked the easiest questions to later, shame Marvin in front of the entire class before kicking him out. And the students anticipated how Marvin will shame himself, unable to answer the easiest question.

Marvin looked at Venerable Professor Bai Long, his impression of him increased tremendously. 'What a nice guy! First, he gave away such a precious book to me. Now he is even asking the most simplest of questions!' He thought before answering,

"There are three fundamentals of formation. The first fundamental of a formation master is being proficient as an inscriptionist. It can only be done by memorizing a lot of magical rune designs. The second fundamental is to possess formation items. Without formation items, setting up a formation all alone is impossible. The third and the most important fundamental of formation is positioning the formation items in such a way that they will become an array once activated. In more simpler words, a barrier that will entrap your enemies inside. Although all three sounds simple, a person needs an unbelievable amount of money and knowledge to learn even a single one."

Shock!

Everyone felt shocked. They couldn't believe that Marvin answered, and it was better and simpler than what they have in mind. They understood that he went to the wilderness to earn money. As money is necessary to purchase formation items, magical rune designs, and also knowledge.

"Hmm, he probably got lucky!'

Bai Long believed that it was beginner's luck. Maybe Marvin had really read the first few pages or so. Thus, he asked an even harder question this time.

"How about you explain them in detail?"

"First of all, a person needs to memorize more than one hundred magical rune design and have the ability to inscribe them before he can be considered proficient as an inscriptionist.

"Secondly, Formation items are used to reduce the calculation, inscribing, and setting time. Without formation items, a formation can still be created but it will take a lot of time and that's what everyone lacks during battle. Formation items have a ready-made rune inscribed on them. One just needs to inflate the formation items with magic power and a formation will be created."

"Lastly, setting up a formation in-depth knowledge about positioning. Positioning is a term formation master uses to define the various ways formation items can be placed on the ground, air, water, and other places to generate a unique force field or create a light barrier or elemental array to capture, entrap or kill an enemy once the formation is activated."

Utterly unbelievable!

Is this what a bookworm looks like?

Fatty Liam rubbed his eyes and saw that Marvin really was glowing in the light of wisdom.

Wtf?!!

The students stared at Marvin with wide-opened eyes filled with disbelief.

If previously, it could be said that Marvin has read through the first few chapters and memorized them and was lucky enough to answer the easiest question then now they have no reasons to refute the fact that he really possesses plenty of knowledge about formation.

Bai Long eyes twitched as he felt his face heating up.

He understood that he was wrong and like his earlier judgment, Marvin was an impressive young man, and he has wronged him.

"Do you know what are the various types of formation?"

This time Bai Long asked this question without an ulterior motive. He just wanted to test the limit of Marvin's knowledge about formation.

"There are four types of formation, entrapping, illusion, offensive, and secret. The entrapping formation would confine a person inside a barrier of light or magic power. Illusion formation would hypnotize or induce illusions, causing a person to witness what he fears the most or even kill himself. Offensive formation uses weapons and elemental runs like flame rune etc to kill a person. Lastly, there are mysterious formations with horrifying and useless effects and they are called secret formation as not many know about them."

"Good, good!"

Bai Long then proceeded to ask eight more questions. All of the questions were so difficult that even the most studious students in the class were baffled to the point of a gaping mouth. These questions could only be answered by a formation master but Marvin, who has obtained all knowledge of the book on formation written by Bai Long himself, also answered all the questions with ease.

In the end, Bai Long openly gaped at Marvin, who answered everything correctly.

"Teacher, am I right?"

"Yes, you have answered everything correctly. A round of applause for student Marvin! He has the highest potential to become a formation master in the future so you guys can start sucking up to him. Haha," Bai Long started clapping while praising Marvin.

What an exceptional student!

Bai Long was impressed by Marvin!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

The entire class started clapping.

‹The Gamer has face slapped the entire class! 99 faces have turned beet red! 999 Credit obtained!›

Seeing the notification, Marvin happily smiled as he thought, 'I guess they believed that I couldn't answer questions related to formation.'

Including Marvin, there were 101 people in the class. Marvin believed that it was not Bai Long but Fatty Liam who was among the 99 people he just faces slapped.

"Alright, let's start the lecture for today,"

After testing Marvin, Bai Long gave a lesson to the student and it ended in several minutes. Marvin benefitted from the lecture even though he possessed plenty of knowledge about formation.

"That's it for today. The students who want to watch the test of this class can stay while the others can go back." Bai Long announced ending the lecture short.

After all, he needed to test the potential of the students in this class.

"I want to stay,"

"Yeah, me too!"

Most of the students decided to stay. They will get to know future powerhouses as potential decided one's growth. Thus, it was a good time for children of the influential families to rope in talented people.
