Reborn: Rise of the Greatest Summoner

"Faction leader, it's nice to meet you again". Ghost Sentry was excited.

"Faction leader, meet our new friends".

Legolas had a curious look on his face as he swept a glance through the usernames of all 6 new players that stood before him, then he almost coughed blood the next moment as his eyes secretly widened.

'The heck! It's these guys?'

'These guys are legends!'

Though he knew before now that Blue River was the guild leader of the Blue Mist Guild, he never expected their pro team players to come straight to him.

Legolas would never forget the looks of the 6 legendary players who overcame all odds, defeating all renowned international game clubs to emerge as the winner of the International tournament cup in Version 2.

Looking at them now from the perspective of an NPC felt so strange to him.

Back in his previous life, he remembered being one of the Sword God's most avid fans. This guy was that talented with his sword.

He was voted 3 years in a row as the best player of Dominator.

Seeing his funky-styled blonde hair again left Legolas feeling a deep sense of nostalgia.

"It is our pleasure to meet a Great warrior of your caliber".

Raining Sword was all smiles as he took on the professional speak-to-NPC mode to effectively communicate with this NPC and get what he wanted.

Seeing this brought even more nostalgia to Legolas as he smiled.

"You've done a good job". Legolas patted Blue River on the back.

Though he was once an avid fan of the Sword God, at this moment though, he was a reincarnator of 2 worlds who needed to be in control and be the boss.

He looked at the 6 new warriors that were before him.

"You came at the right time when I needed more warriors".

"Welcome to Legolas's Faction".

Legolas sent the faction invitation and they did not delay.

Faction: Legolas's Faction

Member capacity: 1000

Current members: 13/1000

You have placed new items in the faction shop

[Shop: 5 Basic Summoner knowledge, 5 Basic Elementalist knowledge, 1 Intermediate Summoner knowledge, 4 Basic Pugilist knowledge, uncommon grade weapons, high-grade pills and potions.]

----

After becoming a Grade D Summoner, the previous limit of 10 members for his faction increased exponentially to a maximum of 1000 members.

Prepared to wow them this time, Legolas made the faction shop more appetizing. After his exploits during the time period that the players went on their holiday, he already became a much richer and equipped faction leader.

His riches from looting the Clown Society Red Master's storage ring were still plentiful, and his other dealings gave him even more riches to flex.

With his current wealth, it was too easy to wow new players.

"Wow!"

Like he expected, their eyes literally turned into star lights on seeing the sheer quality and number of items that were on the faction shop.

Raining Sword's eyes gleamed as he thought. 'This is the real deal'.

With his faction members now up to 13, Legolas could finally implement some plans and experiments that he had in mind before now.

"Get ready, we'll be traveling to the Northern continent soon".

"Yes, faction leader".

None of them complained as they went to get set.

As they left including Blade, Christensen stayed behind as he looked at his master with a look of pride on his face.

Legolas was amused. "What happened?"

"I finally finished learning it".

"Learning what?"

"My first Intermediate Summoner Knowledge". As he said it, Christensen's eyes squinted as he could not suppress his joy.

"Wow, that's nice". Even Legolas was visibly surprised.

After tackling with this Intermediate Summoner knowledge for such a long time, Christensen finally learned it and not just that, this enabled him to break his limits as he got to the limits of the Summoner main class.

Without a virtual interface like Legolas, he was not sure of what happened but he felt that he now hit a bottleneck as he explained to his master.

Legolas smiled. "It's a good thing".

"Huh?"

"You are ready to advance into an even better Summoner".

"…" Christensen was confused.

Legolas sat his student down as he started another lecture session.

"As we grow stronger, our main class grows stronger with us as our specialties diversifies. After hitting a certain point, to grow stronger as a Summoner, you'll need to advance into a more focused Summoner".

"The Summoner main class diversifies into 2 main classes".

"The Shepherd and Beast Combatant main classes".

"I diversified into the Shepherd main class and was how I gained the abilities to empower Lucky and Akela's leadership powers over their packs".

"While the Shepherd main class focused more on the collective, the Beast Combatant main class focuses much more on the individual".

"Beast Combatants gain the greatest strength boost when integrating with their beasts, and their beasts receive far greater individual bonuses than those of Summoners, making them much stronger individually".

"The decision to choose which type you want to diversify into relies on you".

"You know yourself best".

"Choose what you think will work for you and strive towards it".

"When you are ready, I will help you gather the remaining Basic Summoner knowledges. I think with that, you can smoothly advance".

Legolas was about to leave as Christensen hesitated but he eventually asked. "Master, after staying with you for so long, I believe in your judgement more than mine even if it concerns myself".

Legolas turned to face his student. "That's concerning".

Christensen smiled. "Please give me advise on which one to choose".

"Well, if you want". Legolas smiled. "To be a great Shepherd, you need to be extremely intelligent and have great decision making and experience".

"Effectively commanding a battalion of beasts requires smartness and experience which are not exactly some of your strongest points".

"If you're not smart and experienced enough, too much beasts will drag you down instead of augmenting your strength".

"As for the Beast Combatant, all you need is skill".

"Skill and battle instincts are the greatest traits of any Beast Combatant".

"Through your exclusive abilities, you already showed your proficiency and talent when it comes to yourself, you're incredibly talented".

"You created a killer move with Leo when I still can't with any of my beasts".

"If you become a Beast Combatant, not only will your tracking abilities with Brutus become even stronger, Leo will become a far more formidable Frost Wolf".

"And if you use your 3rd beast slot to get another beast with frost affinity, you would be able to form a lethal partnership between all your beasts".

"So…" Legolas smiled. "Which one do you choose?"

Christensen laughed. "You didn't even leave me with a choice".

"I'll become a Beast Combatant".

"I think that's the only way that I have a chance of exceeding you".

Legolas laughed. "You still have that dream? Good luck exceeding me".

"I will".

They laughed as they packed their things and reunited with the other members of Legolas's faction, then without any more delays, they finally set on their journey to the faraway Northern continent.
