Chapter 29: Breaking the System
<hr>
The moment the battle ended, the system reacted.
<blockquote>
[LEVEL UP: VOID SUMMONER – LVL 5]
[NEW SUBCLASS ACQUIRED: ABYSSAL WARLOCK]
[SPECIAL RANK UNLOCKED: ULTRA-CLASS HUNTER]
</blockquote>
I blinked.
Then blinked again.
“…Wait. What?”
<hr>
The First Ultra-Class Hunter
When I returned to the academy, everything changed.
The moment I stepped past the main gates, the instructors were waiting.
Selene, Vance, Kaien, and—of course—Headmaster Alden Graves.
They led me to a private chamber, where a single document rested on the table.
It bore the academy’s official seal.
And in bold, newly printed letters—
<blockquote>
HUNTER CLASSIFICATION: ULTRA-CLASS.
</blockquote>
I looked up. "Is this a joke?"
Vance sighed. "No, but I wish it was."

Selene smirked. "Congratulations, kid. You just broke the system."

Understanding the Ultra-Class
Hunters were ranked from E-Class to S-Class.
S-Class was the pinnacle—or at least, it had been.
But my evaluation results had forced the academy to create a new category.
Ultra-Class.
A classification reserved for hunters who surpass the conventional ranking system.
Hunters who fuse multiple abilities, command high-tier summons, and wield power that defies normal logic.
Hunters like me.
<hr>
The Abyssal Warlock Subclass
The system granted me a new subclass as well.
<blockquote>
[SUBCLASS: ABYSSAL WARLOCK]
A being who has forged pacts with eldritch entities. Gains:
<ul>
<li>Void Pact: Allows negotiation with higher void beings.</li>
<li>Eldritch Boon: Enhances all summoned creatures with abyssal traits.</li>
<li>Reality Fracture: Briefly distorts space, allowing unpredictable movement.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
Iris leaned over my shoulder, reading the system text.
Then scowled.
"So, now you can talk to void creatures?"
Noctis purred. "Ooooh, the negotiations shall be delightful."
Nyx hummed. "More like dangerous."
I just sighed.
"Guess I’ve got a lot to learn."

The Academy’s Verdict
Headmaster Graves folded his hands.
"Tatsuya, you are now officially an Ultra-Class Hunter. The first of your kind."
I nodded. "Appreciate the recognition."
Vance scoffed. "It’s not a compliment. This means you’ll be under constant supervision."
Selene smirked. "And that means you’ll be sent on… interesting assignments."
I paused. "Define interesting."
Graves stood. "Your first Ultra-Class mission is already being prepared."
Iris groaned. "Of course it is."
Emilia frowned. "Can’t he get one day to breathe?"
Selene chuckled. "Not anymore."
I exhaled, running a hand through my hair.
"Well," I muttered.
"Guess I’m really in this now."
