A quest notification popped out in front of Auron. Looking at the quest's description, Auron felt elated as well as worried. The reward for the quest was very generous. Of course what Auron mean was the random attributes reward not the affinity rewards.

In Two Worlds, an item to raise attributes point was very rare. It was as rare as King grade item. Moreover, one item would only give one attributes point. But, from this quest, he could get 1 random attributes just from running. Although, he could not choose the attribute he want, it was still better than nothing. Auron believed that there were no useless attribute, but because of the limitation given by the system, he could not help but choose to raise the more important attribute for him.

"No wonder NPC with military background was very strong compared to player. With a reward like this, they surely would become stronger than ordinary player." Auron thought.

It was no secret in Two Worlds that the NPC would also get reward if they finished the quest. Moreover, the rewards could be doubled or even tripled depending on the completion of the quest. Of course the NPC would not get a quest notification or quest popup like player do. But, they would surely get a reward.

If Auron get 1 random attributes for every 50 laps he finished, then NPC could get 1 random attributes for every 25 laps they finished or they could just get 2 random attributes for every 50 laps they finished. Which condition that they get there was no one would know, even the NPC itself.

Seeing the generous rewards made Auron sighed. When there was a high rewards, there would surely a harsh punishment if they could not clear it. And it was proved by what Auron read on the quest's punishment section. A -1 random attributes for every 25 class laps which they lacked. When he looked at his classmate, their expression was very pale. There were no one that show a happy face.

Auron knew where this gloomy aura come from. They already felt that they could not succeed on the quest. With simple math they already knew that they could not fulfilled it. They need to spend 30 minutes for each laps, so it means they need 24.5 hours more to finish the remaining 49 laps. Meanwhile, the time limit for the quest was only 10 hours.

As a class captain, Auron had to lift their spirit up. This was not only for them but also for himself. The quest punishment was very scary even for Auron. If he was not careful, he could made this character disabled. He didn't want it to happened. Moreover, right now, his character was very special with a "cheat".

"Come on guys, let us stop wasting our time and start running." Auron told the class.

"Can you do a simple math? We will never reach the objective" One of the classmate dejectedly said followed by nodded from several other student.

Auron felt pissed, they already felt lose before going to war. "Tch, no wonder you are a commoner, look at you, you don't even have guts to take up this challenge. You already give up before you even try it."

"Can you think first? It take us 30 minutes to finish a lap. But, can you remember, we only use a jogging pace before? What if we ran? Didn't we would spend less time?"

"Moreover, we can also use our skill. Officer Peter, didn't forbid us to use our skill. Can you think a simple matter like this? You already give up before you could think something like this." Auron cursed and shouted at all of the class.

"Forget it. If you want to give up, then just live your life as a commoner. I will start running." Auron felt pissed off. He ignored them and start running. However, because he still felt that the punishment was very scary, so he didn't forget to taunt them in hope that they would get taunted and start running.

His actions paid off. 80% of the students get taunted, they cursed and started chasing Auron.

"What the f***, you are also a commoner!"

"Damn, you think you are great because you are our class captain? I will stripped off your title"

"Let us compete. Whoever lose has to become the winner slave for one week."

...

Many curse launched at Auron, but he ignored it. Auron showed a indifferent attitude toward their cursed, he even looked down on them purposely. However, inside, he felt elated because his strategy worked.

After five hours running, their laps was still less than half of the objectives. Auron already used all what he had. Every time his speed skill off cooldown, he would directly used it. However, looking at the number, their class laps was still lacking. While running, he didn't forget to observe his classmate. He found out that although they were burning with rage and sped up in the first few laps but it gradually decreased over time.

His classmate spirit was very high, however their body could not kept up with it. Many of them could not get enough sleep the day before and one hour rest was not enough for them. If they continued to run like this, not only their objective could not be achieved, some of the could also died of exhaustion.

"This will not do. I have to change plan" Auron thought.
