"Remarkable indeed."
Despite the scratch on his honorable crown, the voice of the King of Frost Giants was gentle.
His satisfaction stemmed from the challenger's impressive display.
"I wondered how you would penetrate the crown's defense, but to use <Evaporation>, an advanced application of the Water element, was unexpected."
Evaporation was a tricky attribute, often not fully understood even by mages specializing in the Water e...

"The King of the Frost Giants is an honorable entity who enjoys a legitimate challenge from a worthy challenger," Professor Boladi explained kindly, sensing Yi-Han's curiosity.
Indeed, it was the erudition befitting a professor. Yi-Han momentarily suspected that Professor Boladi knew in advance who resided within the twisted realm corridor.
‘It seems likely,’ Yi-Han thought.

"It seems you've brought quite a few friends today. What's the occasion?"
The intent to intimidate Gloe and Lusan was palpable in the gloomy, flickering light of the eyes, reminiscent of a captured beast. However, neither Gloe nor Lusan seemed to be easily perturbed.
'I thought as much for Gloe, a fortune teller from a wandering troupe, accustomed to all sorts of people... But Lusan seems to have grown significantly stronger in spirit than before...

The next day, rain began to fall in the south from the morning.
"It's quite rare for it to rain this often, even though I've lived in the south all my life. I was worried that the mood might be bad because of the hailstorm last time, but thankfully, it seems fine despite that..."
Gakane, stretching his hand out of the window as if to gauge the rain, had a remarkably serious expression. Yuder, realizing anew that he too was from the south, felt a ...

He was confined in a solitary cell, looking emaciated.
Despite being shackled with heavy knight's leg irons on both his hands and feet, and having three of Alik's Awakener suppression devices around his neck, the man's gaze remained undimmed. Upon seeing Yuder, he immediately spoke.
"Your face looks quite battered. It's surprising that a monster like you could come back from death. It's a shame I couldn't see it myself."

"■■■■■...!"
The Winter Wraith writhed in agony, engulfed by flames formed from magic.
Despite its vulnerability to this element, the Winter Wraith, now strengthened by absorbing such an immense amount of mana, was not significantly affected by first-circle magic.
Yet, the reason for its torment, as it twisted in pain, was...
‘What kind of magic number is this?’

Honestly, Yi-Han was curious about what would follow after 'shaking', but he knew listening further would only sour the mood. So, instead, he handed a steaming cup of coffee in a dented tin mug to Professor Boladi.
"Delicious," remarked Professor Boladi.
"Thank you," Yi-Han responded.
Watching Professor Boladi sip the coffee, Yi-Han suddenly came to his senses. 'Wait, why should I intervene? It's none of my business whether Professor Boladi...

Imbuing weapons with mana sounded like a testament to a swordsman's exceptional skill. However, it wasn't as challenging as one might expect.
Yi-Han, Dolgyu, and Jijel could all imbue their weapons with a certain amount of mana instantly.
Even a couple of White Tiger students, arguably less skilled than the trio, could manage it.
After over a decade of continuous swordsmanship training in a knight's family and possessing the talent to enrol...

"So... what exactly do you need from me?"
Gloe's abilities belong to the Jung Division. While most members of the Jung Division lack significant combat power, there are cases where even seemingly frail powers can become more threatening than anyone else's.
Kanna, the current Deputy Commander of the Jung Division, had once possessed negligible combat skills and a frail body. However, through persistent training, she had managed to find the best co...

Even if Yuder was the only one who remembered, it did not mean that these memories were meaningless. To Yuder, they held significant value.

As the fused power completely enveloped Kishiar's vessel, the other minor powers, which had been anxiously huddled, began to flow more smoothly. The force, focusing solely on the vessel, lent its energy, making it seem effortless to maintain the balance.

it was uncommon even in a magic academy to receive such recognition as a first-year student.
The magic academy was more liberal than one might expect. The institution didn’t object if a student left during the academy year to continue their family lineage or chose to work in a field unrelated to the magic they learned.
As such, being evaluated as a ‘core talent responsible for the future of the magic academy’ was an exceptionally high prais...

The demon was not a demon for nothing. With devilish cunning, it quickly grasped the situation.

For the demon, who had lived since ancient times, the current situation was not so hard to understand.
Of course, this did not make Professor Boladi seem any more normal.

Yuder clasped a medium in his hand. As a tingling sensation pricked his fingertips, a concentrated power within him began to overflow, elevating to an extreme level.

Though Yuder alone could absorb the power of the medium, when another Awakener held it, their power amplified significantly. This had already been proven during Emperor Keilusa's time whe...

Kumandas was initially flustered, but he quickly regained his composure. There was much he needed to do at the moment.
