"For the next battle, Jake Garcia will be engaging in a battle with Arthur Solace!" Since both names were not well-known, the crowd's reaction was mediocre at best. No one cheered like they had for Felix and Sarah. And, even though their battle had been incredibly climactic, many people did not understand the outcome. Some were indignant at Sarah's loss, while others were confused. Some cheered for Felix… mostly the girls. "Yay, big brother's fighting!" Lily cheered, having awoken from her deep…-

The sparks of flames evolved into a tiny fire at the tip of her katana. At that moment, Felix couldn't handle it. He rushed forward using mana as a catalyst to increase his speed. If Sarah truly had a backup plan, he couldn't twiddle his thumbs, waiting for her to deliver a strike. If that truly was the case, he had to unleash his true power. Arthur leaned forward. A smile was plastered over his face, and his eyes were glued to the battle. He wasn't impressed by the power, but the intensity of the…

"Let the match begin!" The announcer announced, and Lily's eyelids fluttered again. Yet, she didn't wake up. 'Such a deep sleeper,' thought Arthur. If it were him, he would awaken at the sound of a pin drop. His senses were trained to the extreme to avoid dangerous situations, and couldn't be nullified even with an immature body. Shifting his attention to the battle, Arthur watched with peeled eyes. The showdown would be interesting, as both contenders were within top ten in the intelligence and…

A few hours passed, and the intelligence and knowledge test results were revealed to the applicants. A signboard in front of the faculty offices revealed the scores and the rankings for all three years. Arcadia Academy offered scholarships to the highest scoring examinee from each year. Of course, the scores included both the intelligence and knowledge test alongside the practical test.

A few days passed, and the entrance exams of Arcadia Academy began. Hundreds of applicants flooded the school grounds, which were the largest on the planet. The entire establishment was crowded with potential students. Firstly, there was an intelligence and knowledge text, in which one was tested based on their reasoning skills and knowledge about the world and Heaven's Spire, where they could possibly receive a job. Arthur found the test quite easy. After submitting his test sheet, he headed out to…

"You haven't spoken in a long time, Professor Noxickle," Arthur pointed out, sipping his coffee frivolously. He noticed the color drain from Henry's face, and the beads of sweat that streamed down his face. Arthur quietly wiped the top of his lips using a napkin. Due to the barrier, external noises were blocked, leaving the place eerily silent. "What do you want me to say…" Professor Noxickle spoke. "What's your name?" "Henry Noxickle." "Are you sure it's not Jack Valentine?" Arthur asked…

"What happened, Jamie?" a feminine voice resounded across the area. The origin of the voice was a teenage girl who seemed to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. Her figure was slim yet curvy, and her attire only highlighted that fact. She wore a cyan sweatshirt that matched perfectly with her eyes and hair, which were of the same color. With pale skin and tied-back hair, she was a goddess any man would wish for. Her pressure leaked as she gazed at a crimson-eyed man whose hand rested on the…

At the break of dawn, Arthur and his family set out for Arcadia, the largest city on the planet. Lily slept in Anna's arms while Arthur and Magnus loaded the luggage onto the carriage. It was quite heavy. They set off immediately, traveling through the cities of Junter and Vieira. It was a slow and arduous journey, but they had arrived at Arcadia by the next day at the break of dawn. It had taken a total of twenty-four hours. * "We may as well settle in Arcadia," muttered Magnus. His face…

"Arthur!" Anna rushed towards her son, and Magnus followed on her tail. Melzer simply stood at the door before excusing himself. 'At least he knows basic courtesy,' Arthur thought to himself before he was wrapped in the arms of his mother, father, and sister. He wished desperately to tap himself out of the situation, but he couldn't. Anna was one stubborn lady, and Lily was following in her footsteps. Magnus was a fairly rational man, but even he wouldn't release his only son from his grip when…
