The team gave his glances full of doubt yet he didn't care. "In time you'll know that I'm right." "Boss," Deno said, "it's not that we don't want to be strong. I do, and I bet others do. However, we can't see how this is happening." "We need a plan," Rick said, "one that can be practically applied and useful to us." "Well," Jim moved his eyes towards the only old wall here, "if you asked then this is where you'll find answers." "The secret room?" Kro asked in more doubt, "but that needed a lot of teams…

Hector gave him a deep glance before smiling in content. "That's my boy, however... we can't do such a thing here," he turned around before whispering, "we have many eyes and ears looming around us." "Then..." Jim paused before realizing what Hector wanted to say, "the secret room, right?" "The best place in the entire academy," Hector said, "besides we have one day left before your chance is gone. So you can have some rest or... some fun," he winked while glancing at the four girls in Jim's…

Jim stood by their side while his team members came to stand around. He noticed how nervous they were as if the result of the test was still undecided. And strangely enough, after two hours of low scores and even many zeroes, one disciple came with a bomb. "One hundred thousand points... How can this even be possible?!!" Deno was shocked when the result of that dragon kid came. He was part of grade six, belonging to the core campus. "They are cheating!" Rick shouted without any embarrassment while other…

Jim stood in the middle of his masters while watching the arrogant dean extending his left hand to touch the pillar. The moment he did so the hand got enveloped with the silver light from the pillar before retreating. And there he got a missing finger from his hand. "Small price indeed," the dean sneered. "Good to know you still got a good hearing," Igory said before laughing, "next time I won't curse you loudly or mention your missing... finger." The dean harrumphed and didn't speak again while the…

Everyone stood there motionless for long stressful moments. The dean didn't move a finger as he glanced at Mark. "Don't be a fool, you know I can't do anything to that boy according to the code of the academy." "Sometimes despair would drive sane people insane," Mark slowly said while he was trying to see through the dean. "That's if he was a sane one to begin with," Igory didn't hide his own sarcasm at this moment. "Then step aside and let me do my job," the dean was standing there fixedly while the…

Jim moved slowly towards the altar. All the eyes fell upon him but he didn't care. He knew Hector gave him a ring containing what was salvaged from the pit for sure. That meant at least he would get a score equal to Hector, or a little higher. Even if he wasn't the king, he would end up being the first in the grade one list and one of the top ten ever in the academy. And that was more than enough for him. "Put your hands on the pillar," the master said once Jim reached the rounded base of the altar.…

"Humph, I'll be the first to be judged." A disciple of the dragon clan said in a very arrogant tone before he moved towards the altar with fixed steps. He was a grade ten disciple, someone who was surrounded with hundreds of followers. "'Of course he has to come first," Deno whispered in deep hatred, "with all of them on his side and they all served to kill monsters, how can't he come at the top?" Jim only nodded as he watched in silence what that kid did. The moment he reached the altar he ascended the…

Jim's silence was wrongly understood by the two masters and he was quite thankful they didn't ask further about this. He knew he sucked at this expedition, but he wasn't regretting that too much now. He got out barely with his life. One single mistake and he would be gone. He knew that, and he also felt more appreciative to the two masters walking up front of him and others still waiting at the gate of the forest. If not for their help, he wouldn't be walking right now or breathing the same air as…
-
The two masters stood to the side while watching Jim turning one ore into ash after another. "Damn! Never thought I would turn you into such ore eating man!" Igory couldn't help but shake off his head. "Are you feeling better?" Mark asked as he tried to understand where all this energy was sucked into. "I'm... great," Jim felt his body was now fully restored as his energy was half replenished. He wasn't any less amazed like the masters by what happened here. However, his old man reassured him.…
-
Jim's body was thrown in the air by his jump much higher than he initially thought. For him he felt like there was no gravity to hold him back, no boundary to limit his freedom. Like a bird who spread its wings and soared to the sky, he was feeling the same kind of supremacy and invincibility right there, even for brief moments. Then he bypassed the entire waves with ease before his body was drawn once again like a kite tied with a long invisible thread to the ground. "Do not call me dumb again old…
