One by one, the lights of the academy came on. The darkness of the night was quickly illuminated by the moon, stars, and artificial lights. Then... a voice filled my ears. "So, you are asking the academy for permission to go on a 'trip', perhaps for a few months?" Melany's voice echoed across the room and I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. "Exactly." Melany took a tired, deep breath. "Haaa... Even I can't really do that, you know? A week or so could be somewhat okay... but a couple…-

I heard a voice, a loud voice, directed straight at us, not caring about anything in its path. "Sophia! Adrian! Watc-" My father's worried voice echoed in my ears. Then an intense light followed the sound and covered everything. My mother crouched over me, protecting my tiny body, while a shockwave spread around. I felt nothing except a slight warmth and the floor rattling. My mother's body was on top of me, protecting me. After a short while, the light slowly receded and my vision returned.…

I narrowed my eyes, tilted my head slightly to the side, and spoke coldly. "It seems you underestimate me." As for Leonard... he looked like he was angry. "You couldn't even react." "Just because I'm not physically strong doesn't mean I'm not 'strong', Leonard. There are many kinds of strength, and mine is one of the ones you should be most afraid of. It's also one of the ones you need most." His brow furrowed, he clenched his fist and squinted slightly. "You're going to need physical…

On the top floor of a building, more specifically the training building, to which students have no access, I, a student, stood in the middle of the room. The door to the room closed, even slowly, breaking the silence. The atmosphere was tense, at least for a normal person. In front of me was a man about two meters tall, built like he had just stepped out of a ten-year bodybuilding program. He was literally a giant and I couldn't help sighing as I became more aware of this. I mean, I'm not a person…

I woke up in the morning feeling better after the little incident that had happened during the night. I took some fresh air in the window as I always did, and then while I was having breakfast, I started scrolling through social media. The current events were summarized as if I was watching a news channel, not unlike what I used to do in my old world. I liked to follow the agenda. So, I paused when a news item caught my eye. It wasn't that hard to see, because it suddenly appeared on the screen as…

Silence, the silence of the quiet library. Even if there are people around me and they are all looking at me, the relief that I can just read the book I want to read without caring about any of them. And the fascination of the book I'm reading, at least for me. A smile formed on my face, under my mask, and I couldn't stop thinking. I wish every day could be like this. Quiet, calm, peaceful. How nice would it be to spend a day without having to interact with anyone? "H- hey, hi... Lucia, right?"…

After a hot, relaxing shower, I got on my bed as usual, closed my eyes, and thought. I need to take action. I need to keep moving forward now that I have managed to raise my general level. First of all... Let me look again at what I need to do. I need to investigate the Tenebra Family, heal Celine, understand Alysia's purpose and get her on my side, find a way to suppress my wiera side, find a solution for Lucia's attraction statistic as Melany and I agreed, slowly build the research facility and…

I picked up my sword and moved to the center of the room. I regulated my breathing and started swinging my sword directly. These swings were not random, they had an order and a goal. The mana swirling inside me accompanied my movements and turned into a rhythm with my movements. I started practicing the first phase of the only sword style I had at my disposal, the Ambiguous Flow. I was advanced enough in the first stage of the first phase of the style. I had come far enough in controlling the wild…

He appeared thirteen times. Only thirteen times, and from the first to the last, he was seen as the demon who brought about the apocalypse. He appeared only thirteen times, each time at least two million people died. He wore a mask, so no one saw his face. There was no clue who he was, except for his voice. And his voice was useless. Each time he came as if from nothing, slaughtered, and then left. Not once was he defeated, not once was he seriously wounded. There was no one who could fight him…

Lucas tensed, his eyes squinting slightly. He realized what I had specifically emphasized among the things I had told him and sighed. "The current king, you say..." Lucas quickly deduced the meaning behind what I said. Then he looked around, but this time the look in his eyes was slightly different. His previous blank, shocked look had given way to a slightly more sober one. He had come to his senses, so much so that I was sure he wouldn't do anything as reckless as he had just done. After all, he…
