"Excuse me?"
"What do you mean?"
Students of the Blue Dragon looked at Professor Bungaegor, wondering what she meant.
-We're friends, aren't we!
This only added to Professor Bungaegor's bewilderment.
"Look! Is that not trembling?"
"Eh? Wasn't it just because of cold?"
"..."
Indeed, instilling fear was one way of taming, especially in urgent situations where there was no time for bonding.
However, now was ...

The students of the White Tiger fixed their most ferocious gazes upon Yi-Han, compelling him to elaborate further.
"The problem with magic being too strong might not seem apparent. But it's more serious than one would think," Yi-Han cautioned.
In truth, enchantment magic cast on non-living objects wasn't too dangerous, even if overly potent.
Should the magic fail due to an excess of mana, the risks or side effects were minimal.
At wor...

‘According to what others have told me, Kiolle successfully rescued the Crown Prince that day and managed to escape.’
After the barrier cast by Yuder was broken, Kiolle was fortunately discovered by Kanna's group passing by and they successfully escaped from the temple. It had been two weeks since then, and since he hadn't seen Kanna, he couldn't know exactly what had happened, but he heard from Kishiar that Kiolle had sent a letter to Duke Diarca....

From the next day onwards, Yuder's daily life began to flow at a pace incomparable to before. As the assistant to the Cavalry Commander, he was busy with his duties and helping with situation management. He met and spoke with the Cavalry members, who had changed after the Hail Night, adjusted training schedules, and had to meet with outsiders who had been waiting eagerly to see him.
With adjutant Nathan Zuckerman absent, Yuder was the only one qualifie...

"Of course, I believed you would say that, which is why I mentioned it just now. His Majesty spoke out of concern, so don't worry. It's merely a worry, not an obligation."
It was a relief, yet the newfound understanding of the Emperor's intentions was still somewhat astonishing.
‘If he had truly intended to appoint me as the person in charge of the Imperial Palace, he must have anticipated the troublesome matters that would follow. Could he rea...

"Enchantment magic is really fascinating," remarked the beaver mixed-blood professor with a sense of amusement.
The students, still half-frozen from the cold, were slightly taken aback by his words. What was he implying?
"Now, the enchantment magic for countering coldness would be..."
"????"
"Professor? Is that all there is to know about enchantment magic?"
The students were further confused by Professor Beavle's approach to div...

An awkward silence lingered momentarily.
Nillia hesitated before speaking, "You don't necessarily need a spirit to be a good mage! Besides, Wardanaz, you have many other friends!"

Yi-Han wondered why he had to summon a mass of water, but he listened quietly.
Given it was a directive from Professor Uregor, there surely had to be some reasoning behind it.
"Typically, a mage who is compatible with the water element is likely to be compatible with the cold element as well. However, if you ask whether it's easy to practice with the cold element regularly, the answer is no."
Among the elements, some were relatively easier ...

"You, of all people, should know what that means, right?"
Of course, there was nothing else to guess. Yuder knew very well what Emperor Keilusa's ability was.
The Emperor had the power to imbue a specific object he touched with his energy, allowing him to see and hear what happened around that object. This ability was perfect for gathering information about distant enemies or for communicating with his beloved Empress without direct contact. Howe...

A carriage that ran on its own power and a door that could traverse through space. Among the abilities possessed by the Awakeners, these were all existing abilities. Abilities related to teleportation had already existed; the deceased Hosanna and the Eldore siblings had them, and they would continue to appear frequently. The power to momentarily accelerate carriages or horses to the speed of the wind was also known in Yuder’s previous life.

"It's fortunate, then, that waiting for me while I slept wasn't too tiresome for you."
For a moment, he was at a loss for words. The weight behind those words felt overwhelmingly heavy.
He knew all too well the man before him, who carried a light demeanor and face, yet held immense loyalty and steadfastness within. Therefore, that moment, when Kishiar's eyes saw nothing but him, felt exceptionally significant.
How could he speak such words ...

After finishing his soliloquy, Yi-Han realized that his fingertips were trembling ever so slightly.
He had tried to remain calm, but the shock was apparently greater than he had thought.

No matter how badly the princess wanted to eat the cake, she wouldn't resort to eating a poisoned cake.
But his hand had already moved. Yi-Han knew the best course of action in such situations.

“Prominent offspring of the Royal Family.”
The call of the Death Knight was not over yet.
Gainando, dragged outside the door, tilted his head in confusion and asked, "Me?"
"It's the Blue Dragon Tower's second-highest performer. Follow me."
It was obviously referring to the princess.
Gainando grumbled and turned his head, muttering, "This magic academy discriminates based on gender!"

Outside, life thrived abundantly, but not a single sound invaded the bedroom of Kishiar. Was it because of the deep, tranquil silence, akin to being submerged in deep water? Kishiar, engulfed in the sharp scent of incense and with eyes closed, seemed to be in a world completely different from the outside.
The man, a swordmaster who hardly needed sleep, had utilized this advantage to its fullest. Yet now, he lay asleep almost all day. It made one wonder...

Yuder gazed at the long and vast pit that started at the front gate of the branch and stretched beyond his sight. It was nearly the size of a moat dug in front of a fortress wall, only without water.

In the end, the guard from Mclara returned, leading six Cavalry members, five Imperial Special Forces members, and twenty regular Imperial Soldiers sent by General Gino during that brief time. His departing figure, once filled with anxiety and worry, was now brimming with hope and joy.
Yet, Yuder watched his retreating figure without a trace of a smile.

Yi-Han had not received his compensation.
As he extended his arm to search, the latter had awakened.

If they were going to wake up, they should have done so back in the hallway. After all the trouble of carrying them out...

As the saying goes, just as the bird singing the most beautiful song dies the quickest, mages with exceptional talents often had short lifespans. Unlike those without talent, who did not covet more than they needed, talented mages tended to desire as much as their abilities allowed.
Magic was akin to the sun—too close an approach, and one would burn to death.

"No, that can't be," Yi-Han mused as he left. There could be several reasons for a thumbs-up gesture. The most likely was to praise a junior for doing well on a recent test. Yi-Han figured this was probably the reason.
Another possibility was gratitude for defeating a professor, but surely his senior wasn't that kind of person... right?

True pride, they thought, is when one acts honorably not for praise or reward, but because the act itself is honorable.
