"May I receive your teachings again, as I did before? The examination is approaching, and I wish to be prepared," the student said, casually overlooking the significance of the name just mentioned. This left Baldoorn speechless.
She had intended to let it pass, but this was something she could not ignore.
"What did you just say?" Baldoorn inquired.
"I said I want to learn from you..."
"No, no, before that! You mentioned meeting a cert...

‘Was the distance to the main gate always this far?’
One of the students from the Black Tortoise mused internally.
It was still dark before dawn, casting a dim shadow around. Perhaps because of that, the atmosphere felt more tense and frightening.
"Wait. Stay put while I prepare."
One thing was certain, though.
That boy from the Wardanaz family...
Was truly a reliable ally when on the same side!
He cast various e...

General Gino's aura was not particularly strong among the legendary swordmasters of history. In fact, his sword mark on the wall of sword marks in the capital was noticeably shorter compared to the one left by the First Emperor, and its power was not as profound as those of other swordmasters recorded in history.
Yet, the reason he was called the most respected swordmaster on the continent was not just due to his incorruptible nature and the upright li...

In the demon-like visage before him, Sunz recalled the appearance of Yuder Aile, which he had seen with his own eyes yet found hard to believe.
Covered in blood, Yuder stood as something far beyond the comprehension of an ordinary human. How could a person not fall, not cry out in pain, or even remain unflinching in such a state?
The sight was shocking and terrifying, yet they all felt a frustrating inability to explain their feelings. The nature...

Kishiar finally lowered his head and gazed down at Yuder, who lay with his eyes closed in utter defeat. It was a ghastly sight. In the moment of Hosanna's explosion, Yuder was covered in blood, his hair and body stained entirely red, his limbs twisted and torn beyond recognition.
But the most horrifying aspect was the new dark veins starkly visible against his blood-soaked skin. Darker than deep red, almost black, they spread like creeping vines across...

"How could I possibly refuse such a delightful opportunity?" he declared.
“I knew you wouldn’t refuse.”
The teacher and student exchanged words laden with hidden agendas.
The skull principal, having finished his announcement, surveyed the gathered students, each holding the leave permit in their hand.

Ogonin, upon realizing that the opposing student harbored a strange misunderstanding, urgently cried out, “...I am not a professor!”
Confused, Yi-Han cast a suspicious glance at him, only for Ogonin to belatedly comprehend the implications of his own words.
Though a mage of high repute even in the empire, Ogonin was an amateur in the thievery arts, a stark contrast to a seasoned thief who would have chosen his words more carefully.

"Sigh..."
Yi-Han exhaled deeply.
His face then turned serious as he spoke, "I cannot go into details about that."

Professor Uregor internally cursed his student.
'To think he would say such a thing with such a grave expression...'
Had it been another student, say Gainando, he would have scolded, 'Stop the nonsense and prepare for the exam!'
But Professor Uregor didn't do the same with Yi-Han. The student before...

Finally, Enon reacted to Yuder's words and retorted.

Eventually, Enon didn't just grab Yuder's arm but his collar as well.

From a distance, a rumbling sound began to echo.

"In this situation, even that damn sky..."
Two members of the Cavalry, supporting Kishiar, simultaneously looked up at the sky, spewing curses and sighs of despair.
Had the cracks already begun to react? He had anticipated that the cracks would open due to Hosanna's death, but facing the reality of the situation made his heart feel unbearably heavy.

Moments later, a massive explosion erupted from where Hosanna had been.
It was no ordinary explosion. This was the aftermath of a cataclysmic release of energy, all the power that had been contained within the body of one person, one Awakener, bursting forth in an instant.
Yuder, who had been closest to the blast, was thrown violently by its shockwave. After tumbling a few times, he lay there, battered, as hailstones, now beyond his control, pour...

Despite the advice, Gainando collapsed to the ground. It seemed he had been attacked by a monster and knocked unconscious.
‘I didn't notice it at all.’
Even in the darkness, it was surprising that he hadn't noticed the monster approaching so closely. The creature must have had the ability to conceal its presence.

It was possible.
What if students from other towers, even those from the White Tiger Tower, found the same?
That would have been acceptable.
But Gainando...

Yuder turned his back on Kishiar, leaving him behind. Although it was sheer willpower that moved his body beyond its limits, the presence that fortified this resolve was right behind him.
If he were to fall here, Kishiar's efforts and the risks he took to save him would all be in vain. It was this sole thought, coupled with an indescribable fiery emotion—perhaps anger—that enabled Yuder to forget all pain and walk upright.

Before Yuder could even think of a response, he was violently thrown back by a bright blue aura that shot toward him head-on. It was a semicircular blade energy released by none other than Kishiar.
Someone screamed, but there was no time to check towards Kishiar.
The window for decision was incredibly brief. Yuder, without halting his sword aimed at Hosanna, swung it forcefully enough to tear his arm's muscles, setting the blade askew to confront...

Kishiar answered coldly. His gaze wasn't on Yuder but on the wind barrier, watching Hosanna crawling on the ground amidst the hailstones.
"Young Master...! Young Master!"
Soaked in muddy water, Hosanna clawed and tore at the ground, crawling towards Nahan. His form flickered faster and faster. Kishiar, having noticed this, muttered in a low voice.
"We must deal with him as quickly as possible before the cracks fully open. What do you think ...

When Yi-Han heard about the potion named 'Enemy Detection,' the first thing that came to his mind was, unsurprisingly, the skull principal.
Beyond mere emotional concerns, the ability to ascertain the skull principal's location was significantly beneficial for survival.

It was unclear whether there were just many thieves around, or if the academy was turning its students into thieves.

From the quietly fallen Nahan, a tremendous power burst forth, overwhelming Duke Herne. The terrifying aspect of mental abilities lies in their near impossibility to be blocked. An invisible, formless power is difficult to counter, even for fellow Awakeners, let alone for those without any power.
Struck squarely by the abilities emanating from Nahan, Duke Herne froze as if struck by lightning.
