"A casket huh? It looks like a real grave." Jackson looked around as he spoke. Alten added, "Yeah... if the deceased body of Orion is actually in that casket, that means that the inheritance must be in the center. But... why would his body be placed far away?" Geld surmised an answer for this, "Actually, thinking about it, I probably would choose to have my real grave be placed away from everything else as well." As he said this, everyone looked at him with slight confusion and curiosity. Those…-

Only a second after Lyrian, Alten said, "I think I know it as well," Before backing up slightly. Lyrian turned around, "If you think you know it... let's do it and finish the puzzle." Alten nodded, and as everyone stared at him, he put an arrow on his bowstring. He stretched it only slightly, before launching the arrow forward. It hit the center of the circle map, and as soon as it did, a golden energy traveled through the carved lines in the stone. The once dull map lit up with a golden essence as…

Geld abruptly walked over to the pedestal, 'The most obvious place to look, which would actually be the least obvious due to that very reason, would be right here on this pedestal.' Now, looking at the entire pedestal with a different set of eyes, ones that looked extensively for clues, Geld almost instantly found something out of place. Upon closer inspection, he discovered a series of small, intricate symbols carved on the different edges of the large stone structure. There were four symbols, and they…

"What th- I didn't even notice that," Jackson said as he turned around. Leon and the others seemed to have the same reaction. Geld walked to where Alten was and took a look at this pedestal. The pedestal was large, nearly half the size of a car. It was flat on top and revealed what looked to be a layout of the entire graveyard. The layout was in a circular form on the pedestal, but it was cut into four pieces and scattered inconsistently. "Hmm... it seems that we have to somehow figure our way…

Alten released his arrows, as they suddenly burst into flames mid-air. The two arrows spun in the air in a DNA spiral, creating a vortex of flame that pierced down the center of the skeleton hounds. Leon unsheathed his blade at once as he released a series of wind tycoons toward the wolves using his sheer strength and sword skill. These small tycoons lifted the hounds into the air as their bones got dismembered and thrown around. Finally, Lyrian unleashed his attack, driving his hand forward. As soon…

An explosion that was half the size of a car went off below Alten. The force of the blast was enough to push the other students back, as Alten was thrown out of harm's way. The spikes underneath were damaged well, but only slightly. They would still easily pierce through Alten if given the chance. Alten quickly rose to his feet, panting slightly. "Holy shit... that was close." He said, sheathing his bow back on his back. "Good job." Lyrian pushed him on the back, as Alten turned toward him and…

Jackson was equally impressed, as he exclaimed, "The way you can discern all of that is indeed astonishing. I didn't notice even half the things that you said," He paused, as everyone looked at him, "But, how are we supposed to use that information? There doesn't look to be any clues about how to open up this 'moving' wall." Lyrian didn't hesitate to answer, "Most likely, there is a way to open it. It wouldn't be like this if there wasn't that way," He began moving his head, looking for anything that…

"No need to rush right," Leon said, walking toward the two. Alten turned to face him. "Like Lyrian implied, rushing isn't going to help us in this situation. The unknown must always be approached with caution, not with impatience." Alten nodded, and then replied, "Hah! Since when did you become so smart!" Leon seemed to get slightly ticked off by this, as his expression remained the same, but his eyebrow twitched. After a few seconds, he said, "Are you trying to say I'm not smart or something?" In a…

Those at the table stood up with Lyrian. By that time, many of the students in the canteen had begun leaving. "We won't see each other for a while... so, I suppose a parting promise will be appropriate, right?" Geld said, addressing everyone. Eyes darted around, as Lyrian spoke amid the silence. "No... not now. We still have an exam we have to ace. Afterward, we will say our goodbyes." He smiled, as everyone nodded in agreement, "Let's get back now." And with that, they shortly arrived at the training…

"Good idea... the exam will probably start soon," Leon retorted on hearing Lyrian's suggestion. He turned around without hesitation, as did Lyrian. "Hey... guys..." Alten, however, didn't begin walking immediately. The two turned to face him as he awkwardly pointed at Roswil's unconscious body slumped out beneath a tree. "What should we do about him?" Alten asked, as Lyrian quickly replied. lightsnοvεl "Don't worry about him. He isn't dead; I can still hear his heartbeat. Let's just hope he…
