63 Spells The thirty minutes we had at our disposal flew by faster than I had anticipated. Tzzzz—! Immersed in my practice, I barely heard the Professor's words. "Would you look at that? The class has ended. You may leave if you wish to. If there are any questions you can ask me. I'll be here for a few more minutes." She went on to press her hand against the podium. "If you haven't by now, please put your name on the list. I'll leave it here for today. I'll be here to collect it tomorrow…-

62 Spells 'Has this guy lost it...?' Such were the thoughts of everyone in the classroom as they stared at Leon who had abruptly stood up at the opportunity of becoming the stand-up for the talent show. I shared similar thoughts with the others. 'This guy is biting more than he can chew.' What comedian? He hardly even changed his expression. Furthermore, he always seemed to be against my jokes. With someone who had no sense of humor, how could he even be a comedian? "Are there any…

It was a quiet journey back to the Academy. I allowed myself to sink into my thoughts, gazing blankly at the shifting scenery outside the window of the moving train. Before I knew it, the sun had started to set and I was finally back at the Academy. I took in my surroundings before finally heading for the dorms. The walk wasn't very long. About a five-minute walk. The surroundings were quiet, and I basked in the silence that surrounded me. It felt oddly peaceful. That was until...…

".....Did you kill him?" A familiar woman sat on the opposite end of where I sat. Her presence felt suffocating, and her deep eyes seemed to lure me in the more I looked into them. "..." Even so, I kept calm. While pressuring, my mind was firm. The vision had messed up with my mind and the resentment I felt from Wesley was still present. The current me... Couldn't be fazed by this much. "I didn't." My voice came out rather dry. Delilah's blank face suddenly cracked as her lips…

"Hey, why did you sto—" Evelyn almost bumped into Leon's body as she swiftly stepped to the left in time. She was just about to complain when she found herself stopping at the sight that greeted her eyes. "Ah, this..." Aoife, Luxon, and the others followed shortly after. They too wore similar expressions. "You did this...?" The one who seemed to be in the most shock was Luxon who looked at the corpses littered on the ground in shock. While they weren't exactly strong monsters,…

A large mansion. A familiar feeling washed over me. Yet again, I felt present, but at the same time not. I could see and move, but I wasn't... 'here'. I looked around me. The place was finely decorated with furniture and paintings all over. Clearly, whoever lived here was rather well off. I focused my attention on one of the paintings hanging by the wall. Two adults, and two kids. Two males and two females. "H-help...!" It was then that I heard it. A young voice. One that…

....He was afraid of me? Was that the case....? I thought so at first, but surely that couldn't be the only reason for his hatred and dislike towards me. There had to be something else. "....." Thinking things through I realized that I hadn't exactly been the friendliest of people. I tended to mind my own business and avoided interacting with others. It was mainly so that my cover wouldn't be blown but at the same time because I didn't want to get attached to anyone. But still... For…

Three days passed in a blur. It was the day of the appointment and Leon and the other members were already waiting in Zone . "So this is the zone?" Evelyn looked around with wide eyes. In their view lay a luminescent forest, emitting a deep blue glow that starkly contrasted with the dull grayness of the surrounding world. In a sense, it added to the ominousness of the area. Bordering next to the Yellow Region, it was the most dangerous Zone within the Black Region. Leon looked around before…

I stepped back to avoid an incoming attack as my eyes fell on the large rows of teeth facing me. I silently gulped. .....Would I even be able to keep my head if they managed to land a hit? Probably. But it would certainly deal a lot of pain. And while I could withstand pain, I didn't like pain. If possible, I wanted to avoid it. Therefore... "Ukh...!" I continued to avoid the incoming attacks while focusing on the threads coming out of my arm. There were a total of three at the moment. I…

I was somewhat confused by the sudden proposal. Of all people, I didn't expect Leon to be the one suggesting this. He was the one who usually avoided me when he could. Why the sudden change of heart? That was unless... "You need something from me?" "....." He remained silent but that was all I needed to hear. "No." Which was why I rejected him. I planned to make use of the time to practice my skills and train. I had no time for distractions. I thought that my message was clear,…
