Sensing a deep hatred for the Rulers in him, professor Nina was stunned for a while and thought suddenly popped into her mind, 'Has he been influenced by the Rebels?' Professor Nina wasn't the only who had this thought, as Ben and Alice were speculating the same because only the infamous Rebel group that opposed the Rulers with passion had such hatred toward them. As for ordinary people like them, the Rulers were a boon to the humanity. Professor Nina became angry at the thought of him manipulated by…-

Taking a deep breath to calm down his agitated emotions, Luke seriously said, "Little Rey, listen to what I say carefully." "Yes, big brother." "Take all the money father has in his locker and buy as much food, mostly dry food and drinks you can. You have a little over 20 minutes to do that. Before this time is up, I want you back at home and shut the door and windows tight. Do not open unless it's father or… me." "Alright, big brother." When Luke heard him agree without asking why, he nodded in…

Although Ben didn't finish his words, professor Nina understood. After a brief pause, she released Luke's hand and said, "You guys go first. I'll go inform the college authorities and ask them to evacuate." Luke wasn't surprised even a bit as he had already expected her to respond like this. He put on a mocking smile on his face and asked, "What will you tell them? That a student told you? Do you think they will believe you?" Before she could respond, he continued, "No. They will not. They will…

Huff! Huff! Huff! Two 18-year-old boys were running at their top speed through the college's long corridors. The one running in front was around 1.7 meters tall, had a lean body and short brown hair. Overall, he wasn't too bad looking. Running 50 meters behind him was a chubby, golden-haired youth. As he ran, all the fat on his body was rippling and he was panting and sweating crazily. From his physical fitness, one wouldn't expect him to run too fast, but surprisingly, his speed was quite fast…

"…Luke…" "Luke… wake up, man." Luke thought when he heard the voice calling out to him. Slap! Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain on his back. It was as if someone had slapped him. Then he heard someone shout in frustration, "Wake up, damn it! Professor Nina is coming." Hearing the name, despite feeling confused, Luke tried to open his eyes and when he did, a scene which was very distant but familiar unfolded in front of him. "This is… my college classroom?" He murmured…

The next few minutes were a slog. Every single ‘communication disruption’ bullet took a huge amount of effort to make. She was getting faster every time she did it, because she was getting used to the way the different types of mana needed to feed into each other… but it was a very concentration-intensive process that made Alice wonder if this was really the most efficient use of her time. After creating her third, Alice was starting to question if she was having a big impact on the battlefield at…-

It wasn’t long before the rest of the monster horde still noticed their presence. The stone-controlling ants paid no heed to them – they continued swarming the wall, where the defenders desperately tried to fight them off. The nearest Vinebears proved to be the most immediate threat. Several of them broken off from the wall entirely, and whirled towards the group with hungry expressions. Allira started singing of a lost city, and of rocks that fell from the sky as an army ruined everything bright and…

The next day was spent poking at the manaborn monsters more, as Alice tried to figure out what made them tick. Since ‘manaborn’ creatures were so new to this world, Alice still had a lot of head-scratching to do when it came to these odd organisms. After her test with Cecilia, she explained what she had The next thing she tried to figure out was how much, exactly, one person’s beliefs could change the physical shape and behavior of a manaborn monster. If someone believed that a manaborn monster was…

The group woke up to a nice breakfast at the inn. Alice wasn’t entirely sure how the had done it, but he had made an omelet out of eggs that tasted faintly spicy, and had nice, crispy meat on the inside that tasted somewhat similar to bacon. It wasn’t as good as some of the meals she had eaten from Ethan’s personal chef, but it reminded her of meals she used to eat on Earth, and that made her happy. Even if it wasn’t the ‘best meal she’d ever had,’ sometimes, the taste of home was superior…

“Umm… @*#$&%?” asked one of the villagers, as he observed the group. “Hello! @3%*#@ @#*$&#,” sang Allira, in fluent in Fendrallian. “Illvarian? Not speak… not speak Illvarian good,” said the villager. He stumbled over his words as he spoke, and sounded almost… anxious as he spoke with Allira. “@*#$*&# @# %#@ @#$#@ @#$@ @#$#@#$ @#$# #$#@$@?” “@#*($&#@ @#(*$&#(*@&#$ @#(*$*!” sang Allira, smiling brightly at the man. Alice started to wish that she spoke Fendrallian. Being unable…
