"It's midnight…" Evan muttered, raising an eyebrow. "What do you mean you didn't know whether we were here?" "Shut up, Evan," a blonde-haired girl spoke in an unrefined fashion. Her hair was silky, and she wore a white top with black jeans. Her skin was quite pale, and Arthur wondered if she was a vampire from Heaven's Spire. Beside her was a serious-looking guy with glasses. His hair was dark and swept to the side, which provided him with a nerdy feel. However, his body was sturdy, as displayed by…-

"Never knew you were so good at mana theory," commented Jake, raising an eyebrow as they exited the school building. "You know, even if you couldn't find three flaws, Mr. Slevonio's theories are practically unbreakable." "I can break almost all of them." "The confidence," Jake chuckled, ruffling Arthur's perfectly styled hair. When the crimson-eyed man glared at the dirty-blonde-haired man, the latter only revealed a faint smile. "Make that face and you'll get stuck with it for the rest of your…

Smack! Smack! Arthur and Jake moved their hands at terrifying speeds, smacking the pieces of chalk away before they collided with their faces. The class turned silent, and the peanut gallery hurriedly turned away from Jake. "Mr. Garcia, Mr. Solace, would you mind paying attention to the lecture?" Mr. Slevonio asked politely, yet behind his words lay tremendous disdain. "Or, are you too intelligent for me, a lowly teacher." "No, Mr. Slevonio," Jake said quietly, providing his undistributed…

"I guess…" Arthur responded, narrowing his eyes. He then proceeded to ignore the cyan-haired woman, shifting his focus to Mr. Slovenio. The brown-bearded teacher glanced at the pair before continuing his lecture. He delayed the volunteer part. "How've you been doing?" Alisha asked in a cheerful voice, breathing into Arthur's ears softly. "Mr. Slovenio, could I request a seat change?" Arthur asked, raising his hand. Mr. Slovenio glanced at Alisha, who didn't display a significant change in reaction.…

The days passed in an instant, and eventually, the first day of school arrived. The Arcadia Academy, the most prestigious school on the entire planet. People from all around the world visited the school for their education, and the most influential figures on the planet were graduates. Many people entered Heaven's Spire through Arcadia Academy. Since the tower was monopolized by many influential parties, academies were the fastest and easiest method of becoming a player. "Student ID," a guard…

"Shut up!" the woman shouted in indignation. "We both know there wasn't a shred of traffic. You fooled around instead of meeting your own family." "I did not fool around," replied Arthur. "I had to meet someone. Now, would you get out for a few minutes? You're annoying." The woman stomped before muttering a string of curses. She then attempted to slap Arthur, but was stopped by the crimson-eyed man's hand, which grabbed her wrist at a terrifying speed, leaving her defenseless. She cursed again…

In a chamber devoid of light stood two figures. "Cecilia, what a surprise," one of the figures spoke in a rather frivolous tone. With an ethereal glow exuding from his body, he seemed invincible in that moment. "I'm assuming Arthur delivered the note." "I'm quite surprised," said the other figure. Her voice was soothing, yet contained a hint of slyness. "I hadn't any idea that an unaffiliated child would be able to grasp one of our spies by the throat." "He's quite the force." "Yeah. I heard he…

What? Arthur racked his brain at a tremendous speed, attempting to find an opening to strike. But she interrupted everything with a single sentence. The crimson-eyed man's mind went blank at those words. -Would you… like to watch your mother be defiled? Arthur never knew that a single sentence could cause such great anger. However, as he gazed at Alisha's smiling face, he immediately understood that her words were not a joke. She truly meant them. Arthur predicted she did some digging on his…

'Alisha will definitely use this against me,' thought Arthur, stroking his chin while maintaining a meaningful expression. As far as he was aware, she knew of his vulnerability… Lily. Arthur hadn't done much to conceal his loved ones once they arrived in Arcadia. He was aware they could be placed in danger if he antagonized other, larger forces. He was aware of the monoliths residing in the shadows. But he also knew his parents and Lily weren't in mortal danger. He simply wanted to preserve…

"Huh?" At that moment, several flowing lines bulged from Arthur's feet, although they were invisible to others due to the shoes covering them. Mana was transferred directly to his feet in order to invigorate them. As he put strength on his calf muscles, Arthur curved his foot, lifting his heel. With his longsword pointed backwards and his elbow in front, Arthur's eyes calculated the distance between him and his foe. Then, he condensed a certain amount of mana within his leg muscles. '.'…
