The recording devices picked up the entire exchange. On the projections available to all citizens, and those above the arena grounds, three groups appeared from the sides of the main chamber. They all stood still while staring at each other. A tense atmosphere suddenly enshrouded the surroundings. Be it within the chamber, and outside. All spectators stared at the scene with bathed breaths. In the middle, a colossal figure resembling a large elephant appeared. It towered over everyone,…-

I felt my face twitch slightly. It was an involuntary reaction. Something that I couldn't control. Staring ahead, the world seemed a little bit blurry. It switched between clarity and blurriness. .....I felt sick. And my head throbbed. Even so, I had to keep moving forward. "Boss monster? ....What do you mean we're near? How do you know?" "I can feel it." No, that was a lie. I could just see it from the map. It was also for this very reason that I had led them here. "....Wait,…

There were disadvantages to the threads. One such disadvantage was the fact that if one paid close enough attention, they'd be able to tell exactly where they were. This was especially true when I combined with Etherweave. The moment I combined the two, detecting the threads was almost a certainty. At the very least, to mages. Those that specialized in were less sensitive to the surrounding mana. For that reason, I came up with a better way to use them. "...." I stared at my hand. Four…

"Huuu." I took a deep breath and stared at the figure beneath me. He was dead. I made sure he was. Killing... It was starting to become easier for me. It was still hard on the mind, but the more I did it, the more I was getting accustomed to it. I wasn't sure whether this was a good thing or not. 'I'm slowly starting to lose sight of my old self...' Perhaps, I was. But it didn't matter. People evolved based on circumstances, and this was how the circumstances had made me. ....I didn't…

Before I knew it, my body was lifted and my scenery changed. This went on for several minutes until we eventually came to a stop. "Huff." I stumbled forward slightly. When all was said and done and I managed to recover my bearings, I looked up to see the hooded figure staring at me without saying a single word. "....." However, there was something about that gaze that felt familiar. '....What do I do now?' I was in a bit of a slump at the moment. From the way he was looking at me, it…

"...." A strange silence suddenly took over the surroundings. Standing face to face with the hooded figure, neither side moved. ....Or more like, the hooded figure was too concentrated on me to make any moves. 'He knows me.' The more time passed, the more I was sure about it. Whoever was beneath the hood, knew the previous Julien. My fingers twitched at the thought. For some reason, I felt a different emotion rather than being scared. I wasn't sure what that emotion was, but if there was…

The raid was set to last for approximately ten hours. It wasn't a long time, but it also wasn't a short time for these types of events. There were some events that would even run for more than a few weeks. This was a moderately small event. Even so, it was one that was packed with non-stop action. "Whaaa--!" "Go! Kill them!" "Ahhh!!" The crowd maintained the same energy as at the start. In fact, the fervor only seemed to have increased as the rankings were displayed for all to see. --…

"Uwaaa—!" The moment Julien and his team entered the stadium, all eyes fell on them as the audience thunderously cheered or booed them. Their reception was vastly different compared to the other teams who had already entered. "...He's the Black Star?" "As expected, he's not that strong." Karl Redhouse, a cadet with short red hair and eyes stood with his arms crossed. Standing on his spot, he casually observed the new entrants. His innate skill was . So long as the gap wasn't that big, it…

"So I have to fill this first?" "Yes, please. After you fill the sheet you can collect the bracelets." "Okay..." Staring at the piece of paper in front of me, I took a pen and started to fill it. It was just basic stuff. Name, date of birth, and so on... Within a few minutes, I was done. Or so I thought. ".....Team name?" I paused to look at the last gap that I needed to fill. Team name. How was I supposed to fill this? Looking around me, I could see hundreds of different cadets…

"Everything is ready. There shouldn't be a problem." Atlas Megrail casually sat on his chair while looking at the scenery outside. A small orb rested on the wooden table beside him. "If everything goes well, then we can push the narrative forward. Add a little bit more oil to the fire, and we'll be able to get her out of the Academy." —That's good. A soft voice replied from the orb. It was unknown to anyone but Atlas who the voice belonged to. —What about the kid? Did you let him in…
