Tanky Mage System

Pioneer Corps

Half an hour later.

After hearing Gurney’s recounting, Old Cohen thought for a long time before raising his head and looking at Gurney. He then spoke slowly, “Bloodcaster?”

“Yup!”

Right now, the various supernatural classes were no longer a secret. It was now the supernatural steampunk era. It was no longer the old era where the various churches ruled the people.

Darkness, undead, blood, and other natural elements became the source of supernatural power, but the evil ones had always been people, not the power themselves. Thus, those sources of power that seemed evil were no longer suppressed or looked down on.

“Bloodcaster is a very powerful class, but do you know the weakness it has?” Old Cohen asked in his hoarse voice.

“During the night of the blood moon, my blood would boil and cause me to lose my strength. I might even lose all my battle strength,” Gurney spoke as he rubbed his temples, expressing his helplessness.

At the same time, Gurney thought to himself internally,

Does everyone know about the Bloodcaster class’s weakness?

If few people know about it, then so be it, but if everyone knows… then… there will be many people falling for my trap…

Seeing Gurney’s helpless expression, Old Cohen paid him no heed. “Bloodcaster is a rather special class. Since you know the weakness already, I will not talk about it. Originally, I planned to bring you to accept a supernatural class inheritance upon graduation. Who would have thought that you would gain a supernatural class inheritance on this trip? Since you are a Transcendent now, then there are several things I need to tell you.”

After pondering for a while, Old Cohen slowly explained, “My identity is not so simple…”

Gurney moved his body forward a little, listening attentively.

Gurney knew that Father Cohen’s identity was not simple all along. After all, before adopting Gurney, he had already adopted many orphans within Sugar Ruins City.

Furthermore, these adopted orphans all had outstanding supernatural talent.

Gurney was not stupid. He figured out what was blatantly happening, that Old Cohen was sending talented people to some mysterious organization.

“Below the calm surface, there are deeply hidden schemes, slaughter, and conflict,” Old Cohen started to explain. “The organization I belong to is a mysterious group that resists those evil powers from the darkness. It is called the Pioneer Corps!”

“Pioneer Corps.” Gurney memorized this name in his mind.

“Oasia Continent is led by the three strongest Empires — Jade Orchid, Divine Radiance, and Heavenly Brilliance. All the other smaller empires and kingdoms have also joined the unified supernatural combat organization known as the Supernatural Association. Our Jade Orchid Supernatural Association is one of the three main players of this association. In fact, we are one of the greatest factions in it.

“But Jade Orchid Supernatural Association is only the name that normal people know of on the surface. The truth is, within the Jade Orchid Supernatural Association, there are several independent organizations that are deeply hidden and have great authority. The Pioneer Corps is one of them.”

Jade Orchid Supernatural Association, Pioneer Corps,

Gurney thought about this new information in his mind.

Next, Gurney pointed out the crucial part of the problem. “So… what sort of enemy is the Pioneer Corps, or rather the whole Jade Orchid Supernatural Association, trying to face? To the extent that all of the forces on the continent have to gather and unite as one…”

With the supernatural information that Gurney currently possessed, he knew that the Supernatural Association was undoubtedly a colossal force. It was supported by the three greatest empires on Oasia Continent after all.

It was publicly known to have over a hundred Transcendent Grandmasters. One must know that Transcendent Grandmasters were existences that had transcended the concept of normal humans. In fact, even the Empire’s armies had to give way to these Transcendents.

If the enemies were not strong enough, these powerful existences would not have decided to work together.

“There are many enemies, far out of your imagination,” spoke Old Cohen in a hoarse voice and low tone. “Those churches in the south that still stubbornly stick to their religious mysticism are our strongest enemies. Currently, at the periphery of the southern and northern forces of Oasia Continent, there are a large number of Transcendents.

“Those that want to invade our Empire’s territory and spread the faith of some mysterious cult are all hidden threats too. We simply can’t kill every single one of them, so they will never be fully uprooted.

“And most importantly, we need to face those sealed supernatural items that have lost control and have appeared in our territory. If we cannot deal with them in time, there will be a large number of deaths by

memetics

, and they would occur like a plague.

“As for those invaders who come from another world or dimension, they are also quite a headache sometimes.”

“Of course”—Old Cohen’s tone became deeper and more suppressed—”the thing that frightens us the most is still… that indescribable… terrifying existence.”

“An indescribable… terrifying existence!” Gurney muttered internally.

The mysterious veil of the supernatural world had never been lifted. The more one knew, the more they would realize that there were more things in this world that they did not know.

Supernatural sealed items that were able to cause chaos and death.

The alternate dimensions and spaces that were covered in deep mystery.

Lifeforms from other worlds.

The terrifying existence deep within the fog.

Gurney thought about all of these enemies in his mind.

“These are… a large number of enemies.” Gurney rubbed his temples that were turning numb.

After his explanation, Old Cohen seemed to be tired. He stood up and moved around, walking to the window. “Of course, you are still weak, there is no need for you to face these dangers. Normally, I would have informed you of these matters when you graduated and asked if you were willing to become a Transcendent and work for the association. But now, you have already obtained the unique and special Bloodcaster class.

“Some people also know about your Pharmacist talent. Even if you want to stay out of it, I’m afraid… you…” Old Cohen did not say it out loud, but Gurney knew what he was implying.

“Stay out of it?” Gurney smiled as he cracked his neck.

Crack…

There was a crisp sound coming from the joints on his neck.

He had transmigrated.

He had a system.

This was also a dangerous world where he could die at any moment.

Stay out of it?

Was that possible?

Standing up, Gurney spoke in a solemn tone, “Father… the truth is, I want to seriously take a look and understand this terrifying and mysterious supernatural world. Also… I want to become a powerful Transcendent with a long lifespan.”

If he did not explore this world and see the sights beyond the ordinary, he would be letting down the system that was in him.

“Mm! Very good!” Old Cohen turned around, and his old and wrinkled face showed an expression of joy. “In a few days, someone from the Pioneer Corps will come and find you. The main reason will be regarding your talent in making potions.”

Regarding this, Gurney did not feel surprised. All along, he had been displaying extraordinary talent as a Pharmacist, but in terms of combat, he had not shown off his skills in front of Old Cohen.

“Okay, I got it.” Gurney nodded.

“That’s right.” At the side of the sofa, Old Cohen picked up five thick books at once. “Last time, those potions helped Baron Tram a lot. These are the books that he has instructed me to pass to you as a gift. They are related to pharmacology. All the books are from Dragon Tidal Mountain’s White Tower.”

“Pharmacology books from Dragon Tidal Mountain’s White Tower!” Gurney’s eyes lit up at once.

Dragon Tidal Mountain’s White Tower had many Transcendent Pharmacology Teachers, and they had extremely high authority in the world of pharmacology.

These books would be immensely helpful to his upcoming extensive research on secret mark potions.

After all, Dragon Tidal Mountain’s White Tower was the pioneer and most advanced group in terms of researching secret mark potions.
