With the incoming midterms, cadets were allowed to rent training grounds for a few hours each day. Although there were a lot of cadets, there were just enough for everyone to train without any issues. In one such training ground. "What are you doing?" Aoife halted her practice to turn around. Drip. Drip...! Her entire body was soaked in sweat as a large metallic block dropped on the area before her. Bang--! Frowning, she looked at her team members. Her eyes jumped a little when she…-

Shaa— Feeling the cold water trickling down my face, I took a deep breath. Looking up, I stared at my reflection. A familiar visage met my gaze, but as I looked closer at my expression, I noticed the slight curl at the end of my lips. Though I smiled, I wasn't actually smiling. .....My body was smiling in my stead. No, rather, Alexander was smiling for me. "Haaa..." I let out a long breath and turned off the tap. Massaging my face, my smile gradually faded. The same was true for the…

It was a thought that came to me the moment that I ended my performance. I could still vividly remember how I had almost lost myself in my performance. How I had almost lost myself to Alexander's emotions. .....It was there that the thought came. 'Can I copy their experiences and fighting styles?' What if I were to immerse myself deeper into their characters? Not just their emotions, but their memories and fighting styles? Would that work? Staring at Luxon who stood on the opposite end, I…

"The Midterms will be starting next week. I do hope that everyone is prepared for them. During the first week, we'll have your theoretical examination." Professor Bridgette's voice echoed throughout the otherwise silent classroom. "After that, we will be moving to the combat-related examinations. I hope that all of you are ready for what is to come. There will be a lot of people, scouts included. They will be closely examining your performances." She was currently giving us a brief rundown of the…

".....What do we have here?" The voice reached the depths of my mind, sending shivers down my entire body. It was rough, almost gravelly. As if a broom was scraping broken glass. My skin crawled at the sound of it. Blink. The world around me changed again. I was back in my room. I kept my eyes firmly open. Something told me, no I knew that if I were to blink again, I'd be back in that world. '....What was that?' I questioned myself, staring at my surroundings as I felt sweat drop…

The festival came to an end. Haven's educational department had its hands full with dealing with the aftermath of postponing the mid-term exams. With the Exams used as a means to assess cadets for the draft, their annoyance was understandable. Each year, the Guilds only had one chance to pick a new recruit. For that reason, they needed to pick the right one. A mistake could cost them their future for the next few years. Hence why it was important for them to gather as much information and data as…

".....Is this them?" Entering a certain room, Delilah glanced around before settling her gaze over the bodies sprawled on the floor. They weren't dead, but judging from the bruises on their bodies, they were obviously passed out. "Did you detect anything?" "Yes." Standing up, a man with blonde hair and green eyes, Dr. Gabel Wright, lazily rubbed his hair. "There's no trace of any spell being used on them." Pinching his fingers together, which were currently covered by a blue glove, he…

I stood motionless without saying a single word. Looking at the man who stood before me, it felt as if all the hair on my body stood. He was... 'Very strong.' Too strong for me to imagine. Just standing before him felt suffocating. But it wasn't his power that got me. No, it was his eyes. 'Megrail.' Yellow pupils... The symbolic trait of the members of the Megrail family. I knew well because of Aoife. Her eyes were also of the same color. In fact, taking a closer look, he appeared…

——While Julien was performing. Before the final act. Backstage. Clank—! Sparks flew as a sword met against another. Swiftly twirling his sword against another's, Leon twisted it down and brought his fist forward, hitting his opponent right in the face. Bang! "Ukh!" He followed up his attack with another. With a swift and decisive blow, his opponent fell down face flat against the ground. Thump! "Huuu." Taking a deep breath, Leon looked around. There were a total of four…

If there was one thing that I learned after entering Alexander's mind, it was that everyone's perception of reality was?different. It was a simple concept. Everyone perceived things differently. In society, individuals who shared similar perceptions were more likely to form connections and get along. But... There were outliers. People whose perception of reality was so different that they couldn't fit it anywhere. Alexander was one such person. His world... It was boring.…
