The black stripes above its eyes gave it an ominous, almost human-like expression, while its powerful muzzle showcased sharp white teeth. The face of this apex predator was a threatening, filled with raw, untamed power. The beast lunged at Lyrian with its maw gaped, its large fangs ready to tear the boy's face apart. "Woah!" Lyrian exclaimed, jumping away off of his back foot. "I didn't even notice you, yet you were that close..." The tiger stood from its pounce stance, its hulking shoulders…-

The crowd around the panting man soon dispersed back to normal. The man only stared forward. "I must thank him." He said with resolve. *** By that time, Lyrian had already traveled far away. He imagined that the brats were going to be questioned for their injuries soon. After being questioned, they would be undoubtedly looked into. 'More so than anything, I just hope they learned their lesson.' Lyrian thought. *** Before long, he arrived near the outskirts of town. Just like he expected,…

The two thieves were completely taken aback and at a loss for words. They couldn't believe their ears. "He's... evil! Damn it! What a cruel motherfucker!" One exclaimed in frustration, defeated in posture. "I can't believe it's all over... my life..." The other kid wasn't so expressive. He was in a daze of shock, slowly speaking with a quiet tone. A smirk appeared on Lyrian's face as he walked towards the thieves, who prepared themselves to fight. Now, they had no other choice but to try and beat…

"You?" Lyrian stated, recognizing the boy immediately. "What? Have you seen me before or something?" The boy said with a mocking expression. His head was clean-shaven, shining a bright gleam in Lyrian's eyes. "Yeah... I saw you scamming some guy at the water fountain a while back, the Buddhist monk kid. Or rather, I should call you the fake Buddhist monk scammer," Lyrian scoffed. The kid seemed to get pissed off by this remark. He placed his hand on Lyrian's shoulder. Lyrian looked at the hand,…

"All of that just for this, huh?" Lyrian flipped the little piece of metal over a few times while looking at it. "I'll make sure it's worth it." He soon arrived back at the main gate, with nothing else to stop him in his way. This time, he showed the plate to the guard before either of them even uttered a word. The guard squinted his eyes to examine the small token before nodding. Lyrian walked past him and through the gates, feeling accomplished. Stepping out into the city felt like a well-deserved…

The lady could not believe her eyes. Her smile from before was replaced with a shocked mouth that was slightly agape. She stood from her chair as she looked at Lyrian through the dome in real life to check if she was seeing things correctly. Lyrian sheathed his blade. The lady sat back down, perplexed. 'He... broke through? That should be impossible for a first-year student... did the dummy break?' She thought for an instant. "Our first passing student for today is Lyrian Theageld!…

Lyrian joined the students at the wall, but not before being greeted by the lady at the desk. "Welcome!" she said in a similar tone to the front desk lady outside in the lobby. "Feel free to sit or watch the license exam currently taking place." Lyrian nodded and walked to the glass. He stared out with his hands in his pockets, nonchalantly waiting to get this damned license. He wanted to rush this as much as possible... Inside the dome, the student was fighting the dummy, which was rather large.…

Edward didn't seem to find it so funny, so as the room quieted down, he retorted in anger, "Rerth... I'm serious." His tone was sterner. "The forest outside of Anaviotis is not even close to a joke." He looked at Lyrian. "I understand that you are an MVP, but the entrance exam is hardly enough to prepare you for what's really out there... do you wish to reconsider until the proper time?" Edward asked genuinely. Lyrian didn't hesitate nor pause in his answer, "No, I want to get out there as soon as…

"Varant's words made sense. Why would a powerful man have confused, slurred speech? Why would he have a weak voice? An uncontrolled mind? He was convinced. Lyrian was going to try his best from now on to learn and input Varant's laws into his own life." "I imagine the best way to become someone is to do whatever they do," he said, finally closing the book. Right now, Lyrian had a few things that he wanted to do.

"I will continue learning how to smith properly as time progresses, but I haven't started learning about alchemy at all yet. I want to be great at it all so that I have no shortcomings. That may come and haunt me later down the line," he mused, locking 'Alchemy Class' in on his bracelet. He sat back in his chair after a small sigh. "Now... one last thing before I begin to study," he said, taking his cultivation technique scroll out from his storage ring. "The default name given to this was something…
