The Last King Of Darkness
Chapter 70 - 59 Emotional Intelligence

Chapter 70: Chapter 59 Emotional Intelligence

The cancellation of the patrol mission greatly disrupted Rod’s original plans.

This meant that he could not leave the academy to hunt monsters until he had obtained the "Goldenworth Star" medal.

Perhaps the reason was the severity of the last incident.

The patrol team suffered heavy casualties, the Guardian was critically injured and near death, and Doomsday believers not only infiltrated the patrol team but also conducted an unknown evil ritual, even involving a governor from a major district.

Rod remembered that when he had left the Royal City Military War Department yesterday, Chief Muso had told him not to mention this matter to anyone.

Clearly, everything was not over yet.

Until the matter was fully investigated, it indeed wasn’t suitable for him to go on missions.

Staying within the safe and uniform environment of the academy was the best choice.

The reason was not complicated; one could quickly understand it from the perspective of the higher-ups.

"No way around it, I can only focus on studying and getting the Goldenworth Star medal now. It’s a good chance to build a foundation, as my strength is too weak."

Thinking this way, not being able to go out on patrol turned into a good thing.

The battles of the past two days made him feel the huge gap between novices and veterans.

Clearly, the four years others spent at the academy weren’t a waste; he had much to learn.

He also lacked supplies; thirty True Silver Bullets were used up in one night.

It seems there was much to do in these ten days.

Pondering this, Rod returned to the three dorm buildings.

The night was deep, the lights illuminating the building had dimmed, and the building was quiet, with only faint snores to be heard.

He opened the door, placed the True Silver Bullets, Thunder Stone, and the box containing Monster Ash into the cupboard.

He changed out of his robe, lay down on the bed, and as tiredness washed over him like a tide, Rod fell into a deep sleep.

The next day.

Upon waking, the first thing Rod saw was Kashan’s face.

Her golden hair shone brightly under the Bright Light, and her light blue eyes were full of familiar disdain and dissatisfaction.

"Get up, you lazybones! You’re going to be late again!"

It was the same Kashan, just like before.

Rod instinctively raised his hand to block the glaring light: "Kashan, your breasts are so big..."

Smack!

Rod’s hand was slapped away!

"Get up and go to class!"

Kashan’s joy +15

Humanity +1

----

As they hurried to the academic district, although Kashan was constantly talking about the details of studying and training, she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.

This girl really cared about this matter... Rod felt like he had discovered a shortcut to increasing Humanity.

Alright, from now on, I hereby declare you my Humanity!

Haha.

But, one can’t always pull wool from the same sheep; it might go bald.

Rod immediately turned his attention to Wayne who was beside him:

"Wayne, are you confident about the monthly test? I heard that failing three times might lead to a recommendation to drop out."

Wayne’s face immediately darkened.

"I don’t know... My Spiritual Energy was just awakened and I’m very unskilled at using it. I also haven’t been able to activate the Fire Spark ability. The application of trigonometry in the algebra class is too difficult, and I really don’t understand why the sum of the angles in a triangle can’t be 360 degrees? And those nightmarish history lessons, they’re almost giving me a brain cramp..."

Rod patted his shoulder.

"Wayne, don’t worry, I have a feeling that as long as you keep trying, you definitely can pass the monthly test."

Wayne’s eyes widened.

"Really? You really feel that?"

Rod smiled, "Of course, you all know, my Spiritual Vision is high, and I have a strong sense of unknown things."

Wayne’s joy +7

Humanity +1

Zales quickly asked, "What about me?"

"Hmm—Zaza, you too."

Zales showed a relieved smile.

Zales’s joy +6

Humanity +1

The surrounding students all surged forward at once.

Rod smiled.

The people here have a mysterious reverence for Spiritual Vision, as if possessing high Spiritual Vision could allow one to perceive the future.

Span’s joy +3

Eric’s joy +5

Blanch’s joy +3

...

During the journey, Rod had collected 10 points of Humanity, one portion was already in hand.

This efficiency was really too high.

At that moment, Rod felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Although I can’t patrol, I can vigorously gather Humanity.

Right, within these ten days, gather enough Humanity!

So, for the entire next day, Rod was frantically interacting with teachers and classmates.

Of course, he also didn’t forget to perform seriously.

At Jinworth Academy, the credit scores are quite plentiful, each class attended brings 3 points, and based on performance, additional points can be added, up to 5 points maximum.

The homework left by the teachers also had credit points, each excellent submission earned one point.

Beyond that, there were various scholarships and motivating activities, with monthly exams being a major contributor to the total credits, generally accounting for 30% to 50%.

In the "Goldenworth Star" selection, the credit score could account for 15% of the weight.

Indeed, not going on patrol was a good thing.

These ten days were my recovery period, even if I couldn’t enhance the Star, it was enough to achieve a significant improvement.

Not a second to waste.

Rod made up his mind in his heart.

After ten days, and then thirteen more days, he would face an inevitable invasion.

Wasting time was equivalent to wasting life.

Realizing this, Rod doubled his efforts.

And Kashan was the biggest treasury of Humanity, Rod always managed to obtain the most Humanity from her.

Of course, he also always faced the risk of getting beaten.

But for Humanity, what did it matter if pink little fists punched his chest a couple of times?

—

After several days of effort, his total Humanity had reached 698.

This meant he could claim 69 portions of Humanity, enough to create three items excluding the "Guardian of Darkness."

But this was still far from enough, according to the inscription on the Stone Platform, the "Guardian of Darkness" was a special item that seemed to require a specific State to be crafted.

That is to say, it was time-limited.

The "Guardian of Darkness" must be made first.

The "Guardian of Darkness" needed fifty portions of Humanity and one portion of ash, and only three units could be made.

That is to say, he needed to acquire one hundred fifty portions of Humanity within a certain timeframe.

Still, efforts had to be continued!

In this period, Rod figured out one thing, the standard for gaining Humanity was that the other party’s positive emotions had to be genuine.

The stronger the emotions, the more Humanity obtained.

Frequent hollow praises would greatly reduce this, others would see your perfunctory effort, and they would only treat you perfunctorily.

Therefore, it was necessary to be heartfelt.

Of course, besides using "Emotional Intelligence," "Intellectual Quotient" was also very important.

Top students were always able to please the teachers, because they could quickly grasp the fields the teachers were skilled in, look up to the lofty stature of the teachers, and satisfy the teachers’ joy in educating.

In addition, knowledge was very important as well.
