"Well, yes?" Sarah was surprised Varian didn't know. Didn't Seth inform him of her identity? "I didn't know you were our Dean's daughter." Varian admitted. "Do I not act like a general's daughter?" She raised an eyebrow. Varian felt the air cooling down. It was likely a subconscious reaction from Sarah. She must be pretty sensitive about the topic. "You see, all the guys from top powers I encountered — Narcis, Adir, Ryan, and Charles. They're arrogant, put themselves above everyone else…-

'One. He was extremely confident Sarah would die in the explosion. Even if she didn't, she wouldn't be able to attack.' He glanced at the mutilated human corpse and frowned. 'So he was willing to save that Abyssal. All his injuries can be healed in a few hours. He might be trying to win the goodwill of Abyssals.' Varian's face twisted in disgust. 'Two.' Varian clutched his forehead. 'There is something important on this Abyssal. Which he must not lose. Since all Abyssals blasted themselves,…

"No, you didn't." A deep voice sounded and an Abyssal emerged from behind. Sarah was spent and couldn't even move. She laid on the ground, powerless as the enemy inched closer. 'Why?' Click. Click. He was approaching from behind. She couldn't see him. This only made the footsteps more dreary. Sarah was a Level 6 Controller. She had extraordinary senses, but in her current condition, she could barely register the sound, much less fathom the target's condition based on the sound. So she…

Sarah glanced at the scene and shook her head. "You are still weak." "Let us leave or we'll kill your teammates." The shadow order minions said. Crimson, Luca, Ivy, Olivia felt humiliated. They thought they were defending themselves till the last minute, but it turned out they were spared to be used as bargaining chips. Sarah raised an eyebrow. "I don't like negotiating." Huge water hands appeared around the Abyssals and shadows order minions, capturing them in one fell swoop. "Heal…

Neither Sarah nor the three men and four Abyssals moved. Sarah didn't seem to be concerned by the outcome of the battles of her teammates. The faces of the Abyssals showed nervous expression. Even the men of Shadow Order stood stiff. The man in black cursed. "You deceived everyone that you left on a mission yesterday. You didn't even register for the mission. Absurd!" Sarah chuckled softly, but her eyes turned cold. These maggots infiltrated the academy and were the biggest internal threat…

"Boom!" A huge explosion destroyed the hall, and Varian was blown away. Fortunately, he was at an adequate distance from the hall, and that saved from his grievous injuries. "Boom!" "Bo—!" The explosions continued, but Varian felt the world go silent. He could see the shock waves hit from the explosion, sending rocks everywhere. He could feel the prickling sensation of the special rocks piercing his skin and his warm blood trickle out. But he couldn't hear anything. 'Survive…

"Boom!" "Encircle." Sarah signalled and every team member dashed ahead. Everyone except Varian. He stayed in the bushes. Waiting. 'Is this is it?' Varian sighed in relief. Others would be frustrated since they couldn't participate in the combat. But not him. He was extremely happy that nothing out of the ordinary happened. Until now, everything he stepped into turned into a disaster. His first dungeon adventure. His entrance test. His college. 'System, don't mess with this one.' Varian…

"Let's go." Sarah said and stepped into the Dungeon gate. Varian took a breath and followed the team in. The familiar plain sky without suns, the red soil and blue grass, reminded him of his first adventure a few weeks ago. The moment they stepped in, his teammates restrained their aura to the minimum. Varian wasn't able to tell them apart. "Varian." Sarah said in the front, startling everyone. "Yes, captain?" Varian enquired. He was curious about why she allowed him to enter the team. Wasn't…

Varian felt a huge pressure as he stepped onto the fifth floor. It was as if he was plunged deep into the ocean tied to a boulder and had to swim up. Vulnerability. That was the feeling he got facing everyone here. Level 5s of the second year. These people were cream of the crop. In the Imperial Defense Academy, an average cadet would join at level 2, advance into Level 3 in their second year. Then they would push through the hard bottleneck and advance to level 4 in their third year. They…

Varian reached the Mission Hall. It was, in fact, a large and tall building. He was supposed to meet his 'teammates' on their mission floor in an hour. One thing Varian learnt from his short military stay was that when they meant a meeting started at 7, it'd always be better to be there by 6:30, if not 6. So he decided to check out the building a little for a few minutes before meeting up with the so-called team. On the first floor, he saw hordes of students. Judging by their aura at Level 2, they…
