"Alex! The rope's breaking!" "Wh- what?! H- Hel... Huh?" Alex stopped when he saw me smiling and about to laugh. Then he turned around without saying anything. Then... with a quick movement, he took out a needle and brought it to the rope I was tied to. "Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! It's just... you were so open that I couldn't help myself." "Tch." Alex put the needle back in and I smiled. There was a huge, open window just below us. "We're going in. We'll probably be fine,…-

I took an involuntary step back, away from Alice, no, away from the necklace. Dozens of questions popped up in my mind. Was Alice... an elf? And if so, how could she have the exact same necklace as mine? Why does an elf remain a 'student' here, in the kingdom of humans...? I have my own reasons, I'm not even a full elf and so I didn't grow up in elven culture. But if Alice is an elf, why would she go to an academy in a human kingdom? I paused for a moment when I realized that I was starting to…

'Wake up, idiot.' As I heard an old man's voice echoing in my mind, my eyes snapped open and I jumped out of bed. "James!" My eyes quickly searched for my enemy, I couldn't stop myself from grabbing him and beating him, but then... I paused. This... This isn't Risa's room. This is another room. "You're finally awake, Adrian." I looked in the direction of the voice, across the couch where I was lying, and saw someone there, someone with long white hair and coal-black eyes. "Alice?…

My mana began to spread wildly into the atmosphere. My access to the Sith's vast reserves of mana was unblocked, and not only that, Sith intentionally purified and concentrated the mana in my own body. My mana refused to stay in my body because I had used this technique when I was not yet powerful enough. Even though Sith was supporting me with the mana that he could not use on his own, my time was limited. The King had not finished me off quickly to show his overwhelming power just now, but when he…

One of the boring bosses in the game, but one of the majestic ones, the king of the giants who once lived here, was in front of us. "I was going to ask if you were ready again, but never mind." Alex didn't say anything, but instead opened the mini crossbow on his arm and pulled out the needles. "I'm counting on you for the creatures that will fight alongside the Boss, and you can help me with the big one." Even though we had already had this conversation, Alex asked hesitantly. "To defeat…

As Alex and I continued to eat our meal of bread, the silence in the atmosphere began to bother me. So, I smiled. After all, it was the perfect time to chat. "You had a good scream climbing the mountain the day after the cliff." Alex suddenly started coughing, his food stuck in his throat. After a brief moment of relief, he turned to me with sharp eyes. "Shut up. I can't help having a phobia." "This is your chance to overcome it." I took another bite of my bread but we didn't continue…

I pulled the dagger down. Adrian Caleo would die here today by my hands. My mission would end here and then I would be free, at least for a little while, until I took on a new one. At least that's what I thought. The reality, however, had other plans, for it was only a matter of time before I stopped the dagger. My eyes focused on Adrian, or rather his neck. There, visible through his clothes, was a chain. A chain the color of gold but shining silver, a familiar chain. My hand holding the dagger…

"Let me show you what I'm talking about." I put my hand to my neck, and as soon as I did that, James and all the students around prepared to pounce on me, but I didn't care. I took a necklace off my neck, and the little jewel on the necklace sparkled for a moment, and then the sparkle faded. I felt mana being drawn into my body, and then this mana suddenly burst out, and the students surrounding me were pushed backward by the momentary outflow of mana. I felt my body start to heat up, especially in…

I saw a couple of two people as I looked for someone from James' group. But when I saw that they were a couple who were hugging, I sighed and turned to another group. Then I whispered to Adrian. "Look through the groups, look for someone who looks like they're following someone. Look for one of your friends if you can find one. Basically, we're trying to find someone from James' group." "All right, Alice!" Adrian quickly got into the mood and started looking everywhere, even faster than me. For…

~ding! ~ding! ~ding! ~ding! The sound of the bell filled the corridors and then the classroom. The math teacher took one last look at us and gave us the questions he wanted us to solve in the next class, then left the classroom without saying a word. It was lunchtime, so every single one of the students who wanted to get their lunch early literally flew out. So, there were only a few people left in the classroom. One of them, of course, was me. "Clara, shall we eat together?" I smiled when I…
