"What I'll require from you is a good introduction to the educators I'll be working with. It's better I get along with as many colleagues as possible. The students and staff all seem to love you. Since I lack that charisma you have, you might as well help me in that department." Noir gave Trevor a thumbs-up. The whole thing seemed awkward, though, considering Noir's bland expression. "You? Lack charisma?" Trevor chuckled. "I honestly doubt it." * * * "Hahahaha! Noir, you scoundrel! You got me…-

"Also, there's also the alternative to consider. If you do not accept my offer, I'll have to remove the young lady from the institute and inform the Duke of all the recent developments. We both wouldn't want that… would we?" At this point, Noir leaked out a little smile. Denzel didn't know what to make of it. Was it a threat? Or a friendly gesture? The old man had no idea. "All I want to do is keep the young lady safe, per my agreement with my employer. This is the most optimal route, and I see no…

"As the head of this place, surely you make it your business to concern yourself with its most interesting aspects. The talented students who enroll here should be under your observation as well." Noir spoke calmly. The tension in the room seemed less than a few moments earlier, but there was still some measure of caution on the part of the Archmage. Nevertheless, the young mysterious man was speaking the truth. "Yes, indeed." Lord Denzel shrugged. He was an educator, but was a Mage first and…

Of all the Magic achievable by humans, the 9th Tier stood at the very summit. Why? Was it because of the powerful Magic that dominated the space? Or perhaps the complexity of the Magic structures belonging to such a pristine category? Perhaps both? Well, if anyone mentioned all of these, they would be right. However, what differentiated two Tier 9 Mages was a critical element that could never be overlooked. It was the height of Magic itself, and the hallmark of a Mage. It was also the ultimate…

Lord Denzel was revered for several reasons. One was, of course, due to his great power and skill as a Mage. He was one of the few who could cast Tier 9 Magic—the highest attainable by man. However, that wasn't all there was to the old man. He was well renowned as a scholar before gaining such heights in Magic. Unlike his very close acquaintance who was naturally gifted with godlike talent, Denzel had to utilize his intellect to make it to his current status. Thus, he understood the importance of…

DO NOT READ!!! "H-how many layers?" Trevor asked, wincing at the burning feel he got as he was exposed to Tier 9 magic. His whole life had been limited to the 8th Tier, after all. "About 24 are left. I just destroyed one." Noir revealed. Trevor's mouth nearly dropped. He had no idea of this. A total of 25 layers of Tier 9 magic were stacked up just for access's to the Archmage. "I-incredible! The door isn't opening, though... and there are so many layers of magic. What will you do noe?" Trevor…

"So, you joined the research team in order to further your own personal research into creating an artificial human, a humunculus..." Noir stated bluntly. "Yeah. While it bore some fruit at the start, I decided to quit since I had gotten all I could from them, and settle for being a professor instead." Trevor responded. Noir smiled. The research teams were the busiest of all staff within the Institute. None of them even attended Noir's trials due to their schedule. He was sure Trevor was too busy with…

Noir was currently being cheeky, testing the patience of the judges. However, seeing as they were powerless against him, they complied. "Fine. You will be escorted to the Archmage's office by some of the-" Julian was about to say, but was interrupted by a slight tap on his shoulder. He looked to his side and saw Trevor smiling at him. "Better idea. Why don't I take him there personally? This way it'll be safer and better... for all parties." Noir was surprised that Trevor would make his intentions…

"That's it?" Noir's statement startled everyone present. One would think Noir had to be overjoyed from the absolution of any offense they wanted to pin on him, but it was the opposite. His calm face had turned into a scowl, and he was glaring at the judges. "Not only did you make me spend the night in a cell, but you've also treated me wrongly for so long. You've wasted my valuable time and wrongfully accused me on many counts..." The Judges knew they were in the wrong and had been too impatient.…
