“Alme?” One of the sentries atop the wall called out, seeing the familiar black-haired centauress approaching the city. The sentry had in his hands a bow and arrow, though they were not aimed at the approaching girl. Due to the sighting of a new people arriving upon the shores, the city had gone into high alert. The scars of the past still lingered on the land like a festering wound from all those years ago, and history spoke of the brutality that became the great Blood War. Whether these new people…-

There wasn’t really much to talk about when it came to the training with Terra. After I cheered her up by scratching her ears a bit, she took the two of us to a wide meadow to demonstrate the Ten Thousand Threads and the Thousand Arms martial arts separately. As for what I was able to learn from it… well, my improvement wasn’t nothing, at least. However, I was not able to take away as much as I had hoped. After that hour of study, I was able to come to a pretty solid conclusion. One that Terra was…

“Okay, what did you do and how can I do that…” I asked as soon as we were back out of the match, earning a short laugh from Accalia. “What I did was actually really simple. It just takes practice. The four arrows I fired first were simply needed to stay airborne long enough for the fifth to be fired. Each of them had my mana following them, so that I could activate a spell.” She explained patiently, bringing her arms together behind her back. “When you want to imbue an arrow with a spell,…

I fell back onto the couch, panting for breath as soon as I appeared back in the room. Next to me, Accalia had an amused smile as she watched. “So, do you know what you did wrong?” She asked in a playful tone, clasping her hands in her lap. “I can probably think of a few things…” I muttered, shaking my head as I replayed the fight in my head. However, that mental replay became wholly unnecessary when Accalia caused the entire fight to actually play on the TV in front of us. “You actually…

Once I had bought the system, Accalia immediately went to work. I could feel her eyeing me with her divine power, which no doubt helped her find the power of a target. It was the only way I could imagine her understanding the abilities of the mutant monsters who were born in an environment where their powers could never be shown. “Hmm, hmm… Okay, good. I think I can build a good opponent for you. I just need to ask you a few questions.” Accalia’s mood was rapidly improving as she opened an…

Once the two of them had left, I was left alone in the room. With the world paused for the time being, and everyone already off doing their own things, that left me with little to do but to train on my own. And, since Leowynn was off playing with Aurivy, that meant that what I could train was not Aki Seppo, but rather my threads. So, I moved towards the center of the room and once again began practicing my Thousand Arms, Ten Thousand Threads. However, my goal in doing so this time was slightly different…

As I pulled myself from my thoughts, I heard the soft melodic laugh of Ryone as she entered the room. Through the doorway, I could still see Bihena receiving her ‘healing’ from a rather helpless looking Aurivy. “So, are these the orbs?” She asked with a smile of amusement, looking towards the seven balls of blue light on my desk. “That’s right. You mentioned before that Terra had been teaching you how to make these… so do you think that you could make copies of them before you go?” I…

I briefly debated with myself whether I should find Grimor to talk to him before going back, or wait until I was in my own Admin Room. Ultimately, I decided to wait. I didn’t want to have a question about whether or not Balu was really trustworthy when anyone could just eavesdrop on it, including the girl herself. Yes, it may be rude to talk about someone behind their back like this, but when you consider that situations like this could mean the life and death of hundreds of millions of people, maybe…

From what I could tell, each of the fighters on standby were able to observe the previous matches. At least, that was my assumption when the second round began, given how the attitude of the second Fert was so different compared to the first. Unlike the first fighter that had an air of arrogance around him, this one launched a berserk charge immediately. The Templar, still on the stage after the previous fight, seemed to be caught off guard by the sudden charge. He lifted his shield to block, only…

It took us a while to find where Bihena had gone off to. With nearly forty rooms to check, it wasn’t until we got to the one labeled ‘World Champion’ that we finally found her. With the amount of time that had passed, several Keepers seemed to have already cleared out of the meeting. This made the population of each room barely half of what it had been before. So, when we saw that Bihena was in a room with only five other people, it wasn’t all that surprising. Though, I was somewhat confused by…
