The Transmigrated Professor

Chapter 59: Spirits

A hand slowly raised from the edge of the table.

It belonged to the lone person who had remained quiet during the entire Meeting.

Oliver Lockwood, the only SS+ Rank Hero, other than Rufus. He was also dubbed by the media as the '#2 Strongest Human' due to his extraordinarily high Stats. One would imagine that his Awakened Class would be something powerful like Tanker or Swordsman.

However, those who didn't know Oliver from his early days in the Catastrophe would never be able to guess that the #2 Hero was considered the biggest deadweight while fighting monsters at that time.

The reason behind this was that his Awakened Class was 'Spiritualist', also known as the most useless Class to have ever existed, despite their accompanying Skills being of S Rank.

However, Oliver had risen through all challenges and obtained his well-deserved title of the #2 Hero. Now, nobody could look down on him for being a 'Spiritualist', or rather they admired him even more for coming so far, despite his handicap.

While the others enjoyed the benefits they got from their Classes, he had to work harder to make up for his weaknesses.

Standing up from his seat, Oliver brought out an object from his dimensional ring and placed it carefully on the table.

At first, The Heads couldn't understand what the thing was, but soon they realized that what was on the table looked suspiciously similar to a large ocean-green egg.

"Unrelated to the previous topics, I wanted to discuss these egg-like objects that have been popping up across Dungeons recently." Oliver's cold and loud voice echoed across the room.

Rufus was vaguely familiar with the item. Last week he had read a report regarding these objects that had suddenly popped up as hidden "prizes" in various Dungeons.

They emitted strong mana, but no one was able to identify them, the item's status screen was missing, despite being something that came from a Dungeon.

He had asked the R&D Department to try to find what the item was, but if he was being honest, he didn't really given much thought to the item.

Best-case scenario, it could have been a stone they could harvest for mana similar to monster cores. Worst case, it would hatch a monster that could wreak havoc on the City.

"Have the researchers finally found out what that weird-looking stone does?" Rufus asked out of curiosity.

If a Head was personally presenting what the item does then it should be quite interesting.

"Allow me to demonstrate." Saying this, Oliver placed his hand lightly on the egg, squeezing mana into it.

As the mana enveloped the egg, a bright glow started emitting from the inside.

As their eyes adjusted to the light, they found a tiny horse, about the size of a palm, with the shimmering tail of a fish, gently sleeping in the middle of the table.

'So it is a monster's egg.' Rufus sighed at the outcome.

Honestly, he was hoping those stones would be an alternative to the monster cores.

Before Rufus could order the extermination of the monster, Oliver interrupted him.

"I know what you are thinking, but it's not a monster."

Gently nudging the sleeping hippocampus, its innocent, baby-like eyes slowly opened to see the world for the first time.

Looking around the unfamiliar space, it quickly noticed Oliver above him.
