"Indeed, that's the case," Professor Garcia, ever the exemplary educator, explained the essence of the matter succinctly, simply, and with precision.
However, there were times when, no matter how well one explained, persuading the other party could be challenging—especially when the content seemed utterly preposterous!

It was so absurd that it elicited amazement rather than anger.
'Such a method?'
There was no need to convince the students about the advantages of 'my school of magic.'
It was as simple as forcibly abducting them as disciples.
A brilliant solution that would make Professor Mortum slap his knees in agreement!
"Professor? I have no intention of learning healing magic."
"I'm already majoring in one field; how am I supposed to...

Yuder finally heard the news of success through the words of the returned Steiber.
“I thought it was incomprehensible gibberish, but the Commander understood immediately upon hearing it. I saw everything you did on my way here and how the Commander dealt with it,” Steiber had reported.
Steiber, shortly after departing from the land, encountered the aftermath of a massive current caused by Yuder. Initially, the tremendous vibrations and ...

Many Awakeners found it challenging to wield strength beyond what they were accustomed to using daily. A person who could effortlessly lift a sack of rice could not suddenly lift two and move with ease. Enduring unfamiliar pain while needing to refine control made it a difficult task, even with prolonged practice.
In his past life, and in this one, countless individuals had asked Yuder Aile.
"How do you endure it when you have to?"
"How can...

The members no longer had luminous bracelets, so instead, they tied glowing threads around their wrists. Although these emitted less light than the bracelets, it was better than having none at all.
Subsequently, Yuder used the power of water to safely guide Steiber's body upwards along the safest route. Even in the darkest visibility, as long as Steiber was within Yuder's power, there was no fear of losing the way.
After a short delay, the other ...

The Death Knights complained, but they could not resist when the Spirekeeper dismissed them and had to retreat.

"Be cautious. The beasts are generally ferocious," warned the Spirekeeper. True to his words, the creatures sleeping inside the stables were astonishing.

‘Uh, what?’
As Direth had said, the powerful demons classified as superior beings did not succumb simply because they were struck a few times. If a few blows were all it took to subdue them, could they truly be considered powerful? They would be no more than wild beasts. However, Coholti seemed certain he had seen a demon avert its gaze.

"Why? Do you have a message for Wardanaz?"
"No... It's not that."
Salko shook his head.
He had heard the name Ogonin before, but it seemed likely to be a case of two people sharing the same name.
That Ogonin should be teaching his disciples in the magic tower by now.
Surely, such a person wouldn't waste time teaching a first-year student.

At the same moment, in the deep sea.
Yuder Aile directed his gaze upward, far above where the aftermath of a massive tremor had passed.
'I've confirmed my suspicion, but... it all hinges on how well Kishiar has understood and responded to it beforehand.'
He contemplated facing the enormous monster trying to escape from the six cracks by dividing its swarm-like clusters into smaller parts, an idea that struck him right after blocking a massi...

When Kishiar considered it simply, balancing something akin to scales or a seesaw seemed most straightforward. He was always attentive to evenly use the four powers within him, striving to maintain their balance, ensuring none overwhelmed or fell short.
It was about expending something to empty and balance it.

Someone among the gathered members raised his hand. It was Steiber, utterly soaked and exhausted.
No other members who had gone to the sea with him were visible beside him. The same was true for Yuder Aile. Kishiar's gaze, which had scanned around Steiber, turned towards the distant sea. His red eyes darkened momentarily as if shadowed. However, the look lasted only briefly, as if blinking, before returning to normal.
Kishiar spoke quickly.

"...I'm sorry. I couldn't control my emotions," Ogonin said, feeling ashamed.
While all mages dealing with magic had to control their emotions, this was especially true for illusion mages. How could a mage who couldn't control their own emotions manipulate the emotions of others?
"Remember this: it's not that you are lacking," he advised.

Yuder, filled with tension, observed the eyes of his fellow Cavalry members and thought to himself,

Yi-Han regretted his response immediately.
Perhaps still fatigued, his words had come out before he fully thought them through.
Have you ever worked as a professor? What a demeaning question to ask.

Weren't they competing so fiercely just to do well on the exam?
He mused that the students of the Blue Dragon Tower could learn a thing or two from them.

Suddenly, something writhed swiftly in the darkness beneath their feet.
Before Yuder could fully comprehend what it was, he shifted the nature of the power he was emitting for the search. The water enveloping over ten people pushed their position in a different direction instantaneously. Simultaneously, something extended out like a lance, piercing the water before retracting.

Steiber swallowed once as he gazed into Yuder's eyes, then turned to address everyone.

He felt an unusual current forming, invisible to the eye.
