Denise just waves back at us after reaching the arena with a smile, then focuses on the instructor. We all then watch as a torrent of red energy begins enveloping her body, following which she slams her fists together and sprints towards Artorius at an incredible speed with her fist pulled back to strike. Oh. Wow. She’s fast. But despite her speed, Artorius just avoids the strike without much struggle, and she continues flying past him into the border of the arena, smashing her fist into it with a…-

By the time I reach the training hall, all three of them are already inside, along with Sylver for some reason and some random dude. One that I don’t recognize. Each of the five are wearing the very same type of armor – just like what Allen wears for combat – but with varying colors and different cores at the center. Which I believe is the regular magi-tech armor available to the members of the Association for a very large discount. “Ah, looks like she’s here!” Michael says, bringing the…

Tar looks surprised for a second before hesitating a second. But in the end he answers my question, Oh. Interesting. I feel my pride flare up slightly at the thought of participating in something like that. This tournament of yours actually sounds a little interesting. Although do I get anything from winning for you? I grimace slightly at the thought of killing another human, only to shake the thought out of my head a second later as he adds, This statement takes the wind right out of my…

We learned about them a little bit in high school. A Guardian Identification Card, or a GIC, is kind of like a personal identification number for a Guardian. Except that the number and therefore your identity can’t be stolen since it’s attuned to your life force, unlike a personal identification number. Meanwhile the Guardian Identification Papers just have information such as my name, magic, age, and all of my capabilities and Association. “I’m guessing you already know what they are,” Allen…

“We know that you aren’t very social and don’t really like working with others,” Cynthia says during my stunned silence, “but we think it’d be a good idea for you to join a team. Even if you only work with them for enough Demonic Assaults to get you leveled up to around level sixty or so to be able to handle yourself better. Then you can go solo again if you want.” I stare at her, then at Allen, then back at her again. Both of them look serious. Both are probably very worried. But I really…

After eating, I leave to go to Allen’s office, separating from the others. And once I arrive, I knock on the door, quickly getting an answer in the form of Allen saying, “Come in.” So I open the door and walk in, finding both Allen and Cynthia sitting on one of his sofas, leaving the other one directly across the table from it open. “Sit,” Allen says, waving his hand at the other sofa. And I do so. Then silence fills the office for several seconds as the three of us stare at each…

I glare straight ahead of me as I walk down the hall in the opposite direction of her towards the cafeteria. Damn it, no one touches my ears! I shiver as I remember how it felt when she touched them. It was terrible. Why – by all the stars in the sky – are my ears so damned sensitive?! Well regardless of the reason, it’s completely stupid. And I’m I stop walking this time. Wait, so that was why? Huh. That… makes sense, actually. After a few seconds pass, I glance behind me – no longer…

After doing a quick use of the clean skill – which I have to say, is a life saver and probably one of my favorite things outside of combat that I get being a Guardian, since I don’t have to do anywhere near as much getting up from bed anymore – I glance at the clock once, briefly noting that it’s already evening on Thursday before I head towards the living room. Then I halt in my tracks at the doorway and do a double take towards the clock. I’ve been out for almost a day?! I ignore him as I…

Oh. Wow. Two legendary skills, and two epics as well. Wait, it is just two right? I focus on the ellipses. Yep. Two epics. Although I can’t help but feel a tad disappointed about the lack of any mythical skill… My mouth drops open in shock. They’re that rare?! Holy shit! The five Knights… the five most powerful Guardians on Earth. Each named after a color corresponding to their magic. Black, White, Red, Blue, and Purple. Actually, have you ever met one of the Knights? Blue? The Aqua…

My jaw drops open at the sheer volume of levels and SP that I got from this one fight. Not to mention the new inherent skill. The System is very clearly warning me about risking my life, but how can it really do that when it’s giving out such a nice reward at the exact same time? It’s just hypocritical. Like someone slapping someone on the wrist for something then handing them a stack of cash with their other hand. “Hell no,” I answer immediately before opening my status and slowly distributing…
