Although there was a lot of noise in the classroom, my whole world suddenly fell silent and I just stared at the message in front of me. ~beep "Aiden? Are you okay?" Adrian looked worried, but I was not well enough to care about him. "I- I have a bit of a headache... I'm going back to my room." I don't have any other classes to take since we have exams all day anyway. I have to practice with the professor though... Adrian called out to me from behind, but I completely ignored him. I…-

As I told Sith, the 'main mission' is coming up. Every new academic year, first-year students from all the universities and academies in the kingdom gather together to compete. There are all sorts of categories. Auctions, duels, even chess... So there are really a lot of competitions, and of course, there is a preliminary for those competitions that are related to general power. I mean, battle power. The 'preliminary', which will take place about a week after the upcoming exams, is the first main…

When I became more aware of my weaknesses, I just decided to train even harder. "Harder!" I made a mistake, I was scolded by the professor. At times my muscles cried out in pain, but I didn't care. Well... I tried not to care. "You're directing the wind wrong. If you do that, the force decreases. Be gentler, and don't harsh. Don't bend it directly. Just guide it." I failed many times trying to learn magic from Sith, but I never doubted myself. I did my best to improve my mastery.…

"How many candidates do we have in total?" A man with an authoritative voice, sitting in one of the armchairs of a round table in a dark room, where there were three of us, asked curiously. I gave him the answer. "Four at the moment... But if we look at their potential, only two stand out." The man pointed to the photographs of the two students that appeared on the holographic screens floating in the center of the table. "You mean these?" The boy in one of the images had white hair and…

The spirit raised his eyebrows in surprise, then slowly furrowed after he looked at me for a while. "Who the hell are you? And... what is this place?" He had a childish voice, but he was authoritative as if he could put me in the ground whenever he wanted. I let out a deep sigh, then spoke calmly. "I am Aiden Tenebra and you are on Lunerra." The spirit's eyes widened in surprise at my last word. "Lunerra? Really? Then... did I get through?" A momentary smile appeared on his face, but…

I gulped, then took a deep breath. Clara was shaking, scared. I was scared too. "Brother… wh- what's going on?" She held my hand tightly, then I realized how her body was actually shaking. My eyes widened, and my mind suddenly cleared. I... what am I doing? Just a few days ago I thought I could sacrifice the millions of people I could save in this world if it meant protecting her... and now look at the situation I'm in. I clenched my fist and teeth at the same time. No... I'm not…

I looked at the address written on the holographic screen, and then at the apartment building about four meters in front of me. This was clearly the apartment building written in the address. I hadn't expected her to be in Wiathen, but it's good. At least I won't have to change cities. After closing my watch, I took a deep breath and went inside. I looked for an elevator since I was going to the third floor, but then my mouth dropped open. There was no elevator in the building... I headed…

The employee opened the door and revealed the dark room behind it. I was a bit scared, but then again, the black market was a safe place for such things. So I was pretty sure they wouldn't do anything to me and I went in, leaving the employee outside without changing my expression at all. The moment I stepped inside, the door behind us closed noisily and the room suddenly lit up. It was actually not a very big room. I was in a place that was about five meters long and about five meters wide, but…

In the end, the bidding for the stone stopped at a total of three hundred and twenty-five thousand wels, and after that, no one took a step. "Will anyone raise it? I'm starting the countdown! Three!" The man on the stage said, extending the number. I decided there was no need to hold back any longer and spoke nonchalantly. "Two hundred thousand wels." All eyes turned to me in an instant. The bids for the stone had usually always gone up by around five thousand, but the fact that I had raised…

Honestly... If someone is watching me from outside right now, I'm sure I look like an idiot. The modern look of Wiathen City, the style of the streets, and the design of the cars looked so different and so beautiful from my old world... I didn't expect it to be so... fascinating just because what I was seeing was real and not animated anymore. My mouth was literally hanging open, I couldn't take my eyes off this modern landscape. "Excuse me... we have arrived." I was so mesmerized that I only…
