The returning convoy of the Council's Central Branch, lined up in formation, safely arrived in front of the main building along the path created by the Imperial Knights. Although they had expected a sea of reporters crowding the main gate to confirm the rumors, just like the plaza, not a single outsider could be seen.
This level of control was not something that could be achieved by simply asking for cooperation. Only absolute power and pressure could ...

Fortunately, this time he hadn't been dragged away by Saratan, he had just collapsed.
Yi-Han, who had fallen backwards, asked in a voice mixed with despair.
"Did Gainando really carry me?"
"To be precise... he supported you."
"Yi-Han!"
Gainando, freed from Ragesa's magic, approached without knowing the situation.
"I held Lady Ragesa back!"

Regardless, the Blue Dragon Tower friends completely moved Yi-Han.
The White Tiger Tower students flared up and cursed.
"Do you think you can treat Wardanaz?"
"Maybe if it was Immortal Phoenix Tower, but you guys aren't much different in level!"
In fact, when it came to healing magic alone, the White Tiger Tower students' grades were surprisingly better than Blue Dragon Tower's.
Basically, White Tiger Tower students' future aspi...

'Did he manipulate things to his advantage, saying there's no one who knows about the past?'
If there was one thing in common between the skull principal's doppelganger and himself, it was that they both shamelessly said, "I was quite excellent even in my youth."
And surprisingly, some magic created by the skull principal acted as plausible evidence.
Just recently learned <Gonadaltes' Decline> was the beginning of research to eliminat...

Yuder's eyebrows twitched fiercely for a moment.
"I'll let the 'fool' comment slide, but I can't agree with words like 'defective product'."
"Haha. I don't think I became a worthless person just because of that one thing either. But since that's how the outside world saw it, let's say that was the eye of the outside looking at me, to be precise."
"I'm truly curious who that 'outside' might be."

"But I really don't understand why they came all the way here because of that person. If I remember correctly, he did come to our house a few times asking about you, but when I got angry, he disappeared."
"Is that all? Really?"
"That's right."
At his master's wife's casual response, Kapros felt the tension that had built up until now suddenly dissipate. The nerves that had been stretched to the limit at the mention of someone asking ab...

His clothes had become blood-soaked rags due to wounds from losing his balance and getting hit or cut by knives. The aching and stinging all over his body was bearable, but the unprecedented exhaustion left him unable to take a single step from where he stood. However, more than anything, there was a belated joy of having attacked a real opponent for the first time in three years, forgetting everything else—a feeling he hadn't had time to experience e...

In the twilight of dawn tinged with a dim glow, merchants leaving their homes in the still-dark residential district of the imperial capital flickered one by one. They took deep breaths in the relatively cool air and hurriedly passed through the quiet streets with few people around.

How long had he walked?
At some point, Yi-Han noticed that he could no longer hear the mad doppelganger's nonsense.
'What's this? Did I turn it off?'
Wondering if he had turned off the Echo Stone without realizing it because he was so sick of listening, Yi-Han checked his staff.
However, there was no staff in his hand.

What kind of forest gives branches when you give up?
Moreover, he heard that Gainando just sat down to rest near the forest as soon as he started, and a branch simply fell from above.

"I'm going to try challenging it with evil magic."

No matter how hard it was, one could guess how to reach the end.

Even though mages were said to make the impossible possible, to do this without any clues...

Yuder silently looked down at the face of the person sitting in front of him.

He didn't know then, but now he could understand. That coldness was not directed at others, but at himself.

The white spray of water, sliding down the steep slope, plummeted in an instant, forming a thick mist. Along with it, a deafening explosion that shook the earth drowned out even the loudest shouts.

Steel-like bullets grazed the rear bumper diagonally and ricocheted off. Another bullet, cutting through the pale smoke, struck the metal wheel, throwing the vehicle's balance off.
Two shots hit the hazy rear window, but only left slight scratches without breaking it. This was because the vehicle's exterior was completely covered with a thin layer of ice. Thanks to this, the enemies' barrage was meaningless, but for some reason, th...
