Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 489, Let Lu Fan Fight The Five By Himself

Translator: Silavin

At that moment, Tao Xiaoman was almost ready to kneel down and beg Lu Fan to let her see the actual long sword.

Just at this time, Zhao Shengming on the stage had already drawn out the last lot, determining the requirements for the final exam.

This time, unlike the previous freshmen exam, the final exam was set to be a 5V5.

Seeing that a 5V5 had been drawn, the first-year freshmen present erupted in a clamour, some delighted and others worried.

Generally speaking, a five-man team was the most common team composition. Most students already have a regular team of five.

They would run Dungeon Instances together all year-round. Naturally, their level of tacit understanding in their teammates need not need any explanation. For them, what they most wanted to see was the 5V5.

Some were lone wolves, however. These people felt rather helpless at this outcome.

After all, they have no regular teammates, and they have to find four more people before the two-hour deadline – before the registration closes.

Whether the temporarily recruited teammates’ strength was adequate, if their Professions combination was suitable, and whether they had any tacit understanding of each other’s battle habits – all of such matters remained unknown.

There was no doubt about it though – these people were destined to struggle to achieve good results in the final exam.

Seeing it was a 5V5, Qin Qiu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Qiu smiled, looking at Lu Fan and said. “We are lucky Lu Fan has returned on time. Otherwise, even counting Sister Han, we would still be short of one person. If you weren’t here, we would have to randomly find someone to join our team to participate in the final exam.”

“Exactly,” Han Ke said with a beaming smile. “I can’t really fight so I’m just here as a filler. If we have to team up someone unfamiliar, that would essentially mean it would be three effective members fighting against five…”

Qin Qiu grinned, “But now that Lu Fan is here, we can let Lu Fan fight the five by himself.”

Lu Fan: “Huh? Wait. So, my return just means you all have a workhorse?”

The other girls burst into laughter.

Jian Ying had a faint smile on her face, speaking somewhat seriously. “Okay. All jokes aside, we won’t make you the workhorse. For this final exam, we’ve all agreed that we don’t need you to take action. After running so many Dungeon Instances with you, our Levels are already in a league of our own amongst the first-year freshmen. Our individual Combat Power is also far ahead of them. We already agreed earlier that we can’t always count on you for everything. This time, we want to achieve great results through our own strength!”

At this point, Tao Xiaoman did not forget to proudly add. “That’s right, you just need to be our backup. But in my view, through this whole exam, we probably won’t need you to step in.”

Seeing Jian Ying and the others so confident, Lu Fan thought for a moment and gladly agreed.

This was good news for him. Actually, Lu Fan was quite reluctant to fight with the freshmen. His strength and theirs were not even on the same plane. Dealing with them would prove to be dull and boring. He might as well observe from behind, to see what kind of improvements Jian Ying and the others had made during this period while he was away.

By now, the auditorium had gradually become noisy.

Because many people present were looking for suitable teammates on the spot. Quite a few publicly announced their Profession and Level, loudly calling out to see if there were any other Players without teams, whose Levels were similar to theirs and whose Professions were compatible. This was the only way they could form a team with others.

Lu Fan swept his gaze over the Players looking for teams and found that most of them were basically around Level 20-something.

Only one-tenth of the students had reached Level 30, the standard for a Second Profession Change.

Growing from just having completed their First Profession Change to Level 20-something in one year was already considered genius for ordinary people. Yet, such geniuses at Dragon Capital University were merely ordinary.

Only those who had successfully completed their Second Profession Change could barely be considered top students.

These top students naturally became hot commodities when looking for teams. Once a Second Profession Player said they had no team, many others would immediately extend an invitation.

A team composed of Second Profession Players should be able to achieve decent results in this final exam.

Such a team was still ’thorny’ in Lu Fan’s eyes. It was ‘thorny’ because Lu Fan was still worried about how he could fight them without hurting them.

Currently, any cannon fodder Lu Fan pulled out from his Puppet Sub-Space would at least be a Level 80 Platinum Grade Boss or above. Such a Monster was capable of easily wiping out this small team of Low Level Players.

So, it was best for him to not take any action, but instead let Jian Ying and the others act. To him, this sounded like a reasonable arrangement.

Since Lu Fan had arrived, and counting Han Ke, who could also fill a slot since she was a student, their five-man team was now complete, and they could go register.

Thus, the five of them chatted happily as they headed to the registration booth.

The registration process went very smoothly.

The only hiccup was that the teaching assistant responsible for registration was a fourth year, who was also Lu Fan’s fan. When Lu Fan appeared before her and gave his name, she was immediately stunned. After looking up and confirming it was indeed Lu Fan himself, she immediately became so excited that she even tossed aside her work, insisting on taking a photo with Lu Fan and Jian Ying.

Her commotion naturally attracted the attention of the people nearby.

When these people saw Lu Fan’s figure, they all immediately lost their composure, feeling both helpless and delighted.

The delight came from the fact that since becoming a Hero of Dragon Country, Lu Fan had rarely appeared at Dragon Capital University. Right now, they were really fortunate to be able to see him here. The helplessness came from the killed suspense. Many had guessed that Lu Fan might disdain participating in the freshmen exam. However, now that he had come to register, it indicated that he still prioritised his studies. As such, there would not be any suspense about which team would rank first this year.

Lu Fan, having been noticed, was extremely reluctant but had to force a smile to deal with his fan. Once she was satisfied, they could finally register.

Just as Lu Fan was about to leave with Han Ke and the others, returning to Villa No. 2 to distribute the gifts Ye Wuxian had asked him to bring for everyone, Lu Fan heard someone shouting from not far away. “Wind Cloud Pavilion sincerely invites Players above Level 30 to join Wind Cloud Pavilion. We can form a team together, and achieve excellent results! If any Player ranked in the top ten is willing to join, you will get the opportunity to join our Pavilion Master’s team and take first place in the final exam together!”

Lu Fan turned to look and could not help but smile. After all, his ‘old friends’ were here, Wind Cloud Pavilion.

Jiang Fengyun stood with folded arms, presenting a posture of expertise amid the entourage of Wind Cloud Pavilion members.

Xu Jing was also beside him, presumably still Jiang Fengyun’s right hand man, a position no one could shake.

The two had also made their Levels public: one at Level 35, the other at Level 34.

Among the first-year freshmen, these Levels were in a league of their own.
