Job Change For Everyone: My Job Can Infinitely Evolve - Chapter 311
311 Is It Obvious?
Bishop put his arm around Moss’s shoulder. He raised his brows, smiled, and whispered, “Moss, you know what to do when it’s time to go on stage.”
Moss was stunned. Then he immediately understood Bishop’s intention and nodded. “Okay, I promise to complete the task.”
He thought, ‘Don’t worry, Captain. I will win with a hint of struggle.’
This time, the appearance order was more advantageous to him. He could use the previous five participants’ performances, Nat, and Noel, to try to win and simultaneously achieve the performance deviation of the winning team.
“I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll be waiting for you in the rest area.” Bishop patted Moss’s shoulder, then walked straight to Kyoto’s resting area.

In the top 128 to 64 rounds, Kyoto’s opponent was HN University, ranked 96th overall. Due to its remote location in the South, many students were unwilling to go even though the university’s resources were originally relatively abundant.
As such, most of their students were from the south. Due to the limited number of students, HN University’s rank dropped again and again. The resources they received also decreased with their ranking. Today, they had reached an all-time low at 88th place.
Their preparations for this year’s competition could be considered the most thorough over the past few years. They also defeated their opponents in the first round, ending the embarrassing situation of declining three years in a row.
However, they had poor luck, as they met the defending champions in the second round. After the first four rounds, they fell behind Kyoto 1:3.
It had something to do with their strength, but they were also wrong in tactics. Based on Kyoto’s order of appearance in the first round, HN University did not believe Kyoto would send its first-year students to be the first to fight. Therefore, their order was two new and eight old.
Moreover, they had sent out the first four relatively weaker participants to avoid Kyoto’s four second-year students. However, reality slapped them in the face.
Kyoto still let the rookies take the lead this time, as the six were first-year students. Noel was Kyoto’s representative in the fifth match, and his opponent was HN’s most vital participant, Captain Maibo.
Maibo was a level 38 fire-type Beast Tamer and the only level 38 participant in HN University’s team. Even so, Noel still performed well. Although he was passive throughout the match, he remained organized and did not panic.
Even if he ultimately lost the match, he still won the audience’s praise.
“That Noel guy is impressive. He’ll be a strong contender for the MVP title next year!”
“Even if it takes another half a year, Noel will still defeat Maibo!”
…
Noel exited the ring under the audience’s praises. Moss took the initiative to high-five him and said smilingly, “Well done, Noel!”
“Thank you! I’ll be watching your performance later!” Noel replied smilingly.
Moss gestured “ok” and walked straight into the ring confidently. As soon as he entered, he noticed that his opponent was HN’s seventh-best participant, the level 37 Fanny.
Moss was thrilled. ‘This is excellent. I can’t fool others if I win against a strong opponent. This participant is HN’s weakest of all their participants who hadn’t fought yet, so it’s reasonable to win against him.’
With those thoughts in mind, Moss stepped forward and cupped his fist. “Senior, please enlighten me!”
“You’re quite polite. I’ll give you some guidance for your modesty.” Fanny enjoyed hearing Moss’s words. He got a little carried away from the start, so he grinned as the fat on his face trembled.
He consoled Moss with his unique southern accent, “Don’t worry. I won’t let you lose too badly, either.”
‘It’s just as I thought. You’re lucky to have met me at this stage. At least you won’t lose too badly.’ Although Moss had such thoughts, he did not argue. He cupped his hands and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Senior!”
‘This kid is so sensible. I’ll earn the leader’s praise if I can defeat such an opponent,’ As Fanny thought of this, he shook the fat on his body and clapped his hands. “All right, observe, kid!”
Before his voice faded, a white meatball that constantly trembled charged at Moss. Moss dared not be careless, immediately summoned two shields, and held one in each hand in front of him.
Simultaneously, he used his spiritual power to sense the other party’s situation. After watching the competition for two days, Moss was indeed itching to participate.
If it weren’t for the team’s needs, he would use this giant meatball to practice his skills.
Since Moss was at level 37, it was only a matter of time before he beat Fanny with his potent spiritual power and integration of his current skills, even though Moss’s level was lower than Fanny’s.
“Good defense! Let me teach you how to break a knight’s shield!” Fanny uttered a loud cry as he swung his mace at Moss’s shield.
Fanny’s mace was of good quality. It should be a 4-star weapon, but it did not have any additional status effects.
With his strength as a Herculean Assassin, Fanny still could not cause any damage to Moss’s shield, even if Moss did not use Absolute Defense. However, if Moss were to perform typically, ending this would not be easy.
As such, Moss restrained most of his defensive power.
Bang!
Moss’s protective shield gave Fanny what he wanted and began to crack. It was about to break.
Upon seeing this, Fanny became even more spirited. He raised his mace and swung it at Moss’s other protective shield. His breath was slightly uneven as he muttered, “Hahaha! How’s that, kid?! My mace is powerful, right? Did you learn anything yet? There’s more, observe.”
Seeing the other party’s excitement, Moss also cooperated and retreated repeatedly. From the looks of it, Moss had been passive from the start.
After a round of violent smashing, Fanny shattered a few of Moss’s, but he did not cause any damage to Moss. Fanny even started panting heavily from exhaustion.
He was also aware of the problem. He might lose the match because of physical exhaustion if this went on.
‘This won’t do. I must end this quickly!’ At this thought, Fanny activated his unique skill, Ghostly Tracking.
Ghostly Tracking was a skill that could create ghostly clones when one’s speed reached a certain level.
A moment later, his colossal body used Ghost Tracking. Instantly, three afterimages simultaneously attacked Moss from three directions.
‘Too slow! Your speed isn’t even that much faster than Morales’s!’ Moss thought. Faced with Fanny’s Ghostly Tracking, Moss immediately found a way to deal with it.
He clenched his shield tightly with both hands and spun on the spot like an electric fan on the fritz. It made others feel that it was Moss’s last-ditch effort to survive.
“I’ll show you the power of a senior’s Ghost Tracking, haha!”
Before Fanny could do any harm, Moss’s shield smacked Fanny’s face, and he fell to the ground on his back.
Slam! Fanny’s huge body landed heavily in the ring.
The initially bustling arena instantly quieted down. While watching the other three matches, many audience members turned their attention to the first ring. A moment later, someone in the stands said, “What the f*ck just happened?!”
Then, with a burst of laughter, the arena was in an uproar again.
