"Indeed, Wardanaz is truly remarkable."
Even the students of the Blue Dragon, who had grown accustomed to Yi-Han's exceptional feats, were surprised and murmured among themselves.
How did he unlock the mechanism so quickly and effortlessly?
"Princess? Princess?"
It was only when Nebren of the Kirak family called out again that Adenart snapped back to reality.
The Princess apologized, looking regretful.
"No, it's fine. You ...

Throughout their journey, the students from the White Tiger, who had been at Yi-Han's side, continuously proposed theories.
-In my view, Wardanaz wasn't swept away; he pursued the Rock Drake to subdue it.-
Of course, this was a radical and extreme hypothesis, one that even the Blue Dragon's Gainando refused to accept.
-Are you just making excuses not to help him?-
-No, no!-
"I told you so! What did I say?"

“We both know better than anyone how we can convey stories to each other in ways that go unheard by others.”
That was enough. At the same time as those words, Kishiar gently released his scent. Drawn by it, Yuder felt a scent smoothly flowing out from his own body as well.
Their intertwined scents wrapped and soothed their entire bodies. The movement, clear in its intention as if to say only this sensation was necessary, comforted Yuder's acu...

"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thanks to you."
Kishiar nodded his head.
"...That's good to hear."
"But first... I need to fix this cup."
"Yes. I'll clean up the......."
Thinking Kishiar meant to simply pick up the broken pieces, it came as a surprise when he spread his hand and, with a slight gesture, the scattered fragments rose in unison. They began fitting back into place like puzzle pieces, adhering neatly to their orig...

"Yuder!"
As Yuder returned to the office of the Commander, the first to greet him was Kanna. While locking gazes with Kishiar, who sat behind, and Nathan Zuckerman, who guarded the rear, Yuder had a brief conversation with Kanna.
"I was worried something had gone wrong since you returned late. Is everything resolved now?"
"Yes."
Upon learning that Pruelle was now safely isolated and asleep, relief swept over Kanna's face.

Contrary to the students of the White Tiger's misconception, Yi Han had no intention of subduing the Rock Drake. Knowing the formidable resilience of the Rock Drake, he wouldn't dare engage in such a reckless endeavor.
'I'll lure it away.'
There was no need to confront it directly, nor was there any need to flee.
Lure it away.
The reason why mages were sought after as elite forces wherever they went was precisely because of this adapt...

His friends were taken aback, but Yi-Han remained calm. His actions were not driven by personal feelings but by valid reasoning.
“Without Dolgyu, the White Tiger Tower guys will never cooperate with me. If anything, they'd only cause trouble. In a situation like this, causing a commotion could attract the attention of Rock Drake.”
Yonaire tilted her head in confusion at this explanation.

Gulp, gulp -
Once they had secured drinking water, the students of the Blue Dragon heaved a sigh of relief and looked around.
The fickleness of the human heart was such that their moods shifted as soon as their thirst was quenched.
Moments before, they had been lamenting, "What sins have I committed to enroll in such an academy?" Now, they pondered, "Perhaps experiencing this with friends isn’t so bad."
Several students sat on the d...

Gakane blinked in surprise and cocked his head in response to Yuder's question.
"Didn't you say that my scent is barely perceivable at all?"
"Uh... is that some kind of strange remark...?"
It was indeed a strange remark. Yuder had never consciously tried to exert his scent so strongly that it would be noticeable.

Kanna, despite her proficiency in gathering information, couldn't have known something even Pruelle himself was unaware of. If there had been even one person with manifested second gender among those who went to th...

Before Professor Garcia's eyes could shift to contempt, Professor Parsellet swiftly and frantically explained the recent events.
Consequently, Professor Garcia's expression changed as well.

To savor these emotions, Yuder closed his eyes.
In the past, he had found it painful when feelings surged in all at once. It was akin to forcing down too much food at once, naturally leading to the sensation of choking. Even now, the overwhelmingness persisted, the sensations of jumbled, tightly packed masses indiscriminately burrowing into him causing his heart to ache and breath to catch.
Yet, he could now bear this overwhelmingness.

At that thought, a feeling of suffocation suddenly overwhelmed him.
His stomach tightened, and nausea welled up within him. It was another hand placed over Yuder's clenched one that blocked the cold sensation that couldn't be suppressed as usual.

The skull principal thought to himself, completely unaware of Yi-Han's inner thoughts. Seeing how things were unfolding, it was clear that Ogonin, who was not the type of mage to teach willingly under threats or humiliation, must have been truly moved by Yi-Han's polite behavior.
It was regrettable that he couldn't embarrass him further, but if he was willing to concede that much, it couldn't be helped. After all, it wasn't...

It was preposterous. Although little was known about the Red Stone, it was clear that such an idea was absurd.
