-A bit before the first performance started. Marking the true start of the Four Empire Summit was the theater performance that the Theater Society hosted. A lot had been invested and prepared for the upcoming display. And it was evident by the grandness of the venue which could host up to 5000 people at a time. It was a way to showcase the Empire's culture to the guests. It was also a nice way to start the meeting. Especially since things would become quite tense later. There were a lot…-

The inauguration for the Four Empire Summit wasn't anything serious. It was merely a small get-together between the members of the Four Empires to familiarize themselves with each other. Participation wasn't compulsory. At least for the cadets. On the other hand, the same couldn't be said for the representatives that all had to be present. This gathering was more for them than for us. It was good like this since it made the event end rather quickly. It ended in a few hours, and before I…

"The Angel of Sorrow?" The abrupt question took Atlas by surprise as his eyes narrowed for a brief moment. From his expression, he seemed to know something, and it was at this moment that I realized that I may have possibly slipped up. 'No, it's too late to regret.' "....Yes." I kept my gaze firm as I looked at him in the eyes. For some reason, he didn't feel as suffocating as he did moments prior. Perhaps it was because of the vision that was taking over my entire attention, but I was…

The Megrail Estate was located at the very edge of the city. It was separated from the city, built on a fairly large island in the middle of a lake with a long bridge connecting to it. Lined up around the estate were several dozen guards dressed in white. "....It's been a while since I've worn something like this." I carefully shifted the tie on my neck. It was rather tight. "You've worn this before?" Leon's voice sounded from behind. Turning around, I glanced at his clothes. They were similar to mine, and…

"...." I woke up with a start. My eyes flared open, and the moment I regained consciousness, I felt my entire body drenched in what appeared to be my own sweat. It soaked the bedsheets beneath and made me feel incredibly sticky. Despite that, I couldn't find it within me to care about it I felt my heart race through my mind. 'What was that...?' It felt like a dream, and yet... Everything felt so vivid. Was this a vision? But since when did vision show the past? This didn't make sense at all. "Ukh...!" I…

268 Megrail "…..Emperors have dignity." The voice whispered into the dry air. It was soft, yet it filled the space with an unsettling presence. Clouds dotted the gray sky, with beams of white light piercing through, casting a contrast of light and shadows across everything beneath. Tak— The voice was followed by a heavy step as a figure appeared atop a tall and flat platform. A grand cityscape stretched out below the platform. Castle-like structures and towering spires pierced the…

267 Understanding "Ah!!" Screams of shock echoed throughout the grounds as everyone watched Julien fall over. The scene had occurred so abruptly that none were able to see exactly what had happened. However, in the eyes of those from the Haven side, one thing was clear. "You cheated!" ".....You didn't wait before throwing the fifth attack!" "This maniac!" "Wait, calm down." It was Aoife who held everyone back from complaining. Staring at the Vice-Chancellor, she could see that his expression was…

266 Understanding "Ah!?" Everyone stood in shock as their eyes set on Julien who stood in the middle with blood pooling around him. Drip! Drip! Besides the gentle dripping sound that echoed through the air, no other sound was heard. "....." Within that silence, Leon stared at Julien with open eyes. 'How...?' He could hardly find any words to describe what he had seen. The others, not even the vice-chancellor, may not have understood what had happened, but he did. Of course, he did. How could he…

The Seventh Cycle. One of the many cycles that I had experienced in the Will world. Even now, I could still remember all of it. *Puff* The pungent aroma of tobacco that filled the air. The smoke was warm and harsh as it entered my lungs. Lazily curling through the air, it left a lingering, acrid scent on my clothes and hair. A slight burn lingered at the back of my throat, coating my tongue as a sense of calm took over. It was a cycle that I would never forget. .....In that cycle, I indulged in the…

The Vice-Chancellor's face went stiff. 'What is this guy trying to do?' Test it yourself? Against who exactly? The Vice-Chancellor stared silently. "....Are you sure about your request?" "I am certain." "I won't go easy. If you can't take it, then there's a chance that you might get injured." "That's fine. I don't have a problem with that." "You sure sound confident." "Because I am." The situation turned serious all of a sudden. To those around, the situation didn't quite make sense, but those listening…
