Linus and Godfrey both turned their heads toward Lyrian, slightly annoyed at him due to what had happened in the previous bid. "So he's finally spending money now, huh?" Drake mused as Linus put his bidding plate down for some reason. Drake found this slightly confusing because he wouldn't expect Linus to back down so easily, but he didn't care too much about it either. "I'm not going to give up this item so easily," he thought, exclaiming outward, "900 Rif--" He was swiftly cut off before he could…-

The eyes of everyone in the crowd widened as several suddenly threw their hands into the air, bidding plate in hand. "550!" The first student spoke up, excitedly raising his voice. "555!" "560!" Many others raised the bids by small amounts, as one voice shut those small bidders up. "600!" Geld exclaimed as he raised his plate. "700!" Israthel suddenly spoke as well, challenging Geld by raising the price by 100 right off the bat. The auctioneer began to speak away as he saw the prices…

As the price of the Lightning Golem Cloak reached over 50 Riftstones, most people began to lower their magical plates, which showed their bidding numbers. They were interested in the item but not the 50 Riftstones type of interest. In the end, only two bidders were left: Geld and Linus Creyuun. "The bidding rises again! A 55 Riftstone proposal by Geld, any takers from the Yuun kingdom side!?" The auctioneer began speaking rapidly. "Oh! And there is!" He said as Linus lifted his magical plate and said…

"Woohoo! Let's go, Lyrian!" Alten exclaimed from his seat. He was genuinely happy to see his friend excel. As the noise began to settle down, Julius took a deep breath to speak, "I think we have a clear winner here, folks! Lyrian, please step forward." Lyrian walked up and stood beside Julius at the front of the stage, as another small flutter of claps sounded. Amused faces were spread throughout the entire banquet, from the teachers to the students, to other figures. Lyrian noticed the faces of…

People in the crowd exchanged astonished glances, their eyes widening in disbelief. A kid possessing three elemental affinities was an exceptionally rare phenomenon, bordering on the miraculous. Even the other two MVPs, who had already demonstrated their remarkable talents, couldn't match the sheer versatility of Lyrian's abilities. Geld, the white-haired prodigy from the Fortune Sector, couldn't contain his shock. His normally composed demeanor crumbled, and he exclaimed, "What!? This can't be! A…

With Godfrey's performance out of the way, Linus looked over at Lyrian for a split second. "You can go first," Lyrian quickly spoke. He didn't know whether Linus was going to speak, but he didn't want to risk it. Although he cared more about eating food right now, Lyrian was still interested in the hidden prize. He wanted as big a shot as he could get in winning this little contest. Linus didn't say anything, simply turning his gaze forward as he stepped up. As Linus moved to the center of the…

"Now that the formalities are out of the way, shall we get started with the events planned for today?" Julius inquired to the crowd, receiving a resounding cheer of accepting noises. At this moment, Lyrian noticed that the food began to get loaded onto the trollies. Soon enough, the maids were pushing the trollies to the different tables. 'Finally!' He rejoiced inwardly. He was already feeling a bit odd in his stomach, near where his core was. He imagined this to be because he had no food in a…

On hearing this, everyone already at the table looked over at the sudden voice that had just asked to join in. Lyrian looked at a young man wearing a simple yet long robe. Upon first glance, Lyrian noted how luxurious it was. Although its design was sleek, it was clearly made of expensive material. There were also several gems embedded into its main edges, making it stand out from the others. The young man himself had a simple expression and a head full of long, straight white hair that flowed past…

"Huh? Why the different look? I don't think that was placed inside your closet, was it?" Lyrian inquired, noting the change in Leon's attire. Leon pushed himself off the wall, a stern expression on his face. "It was. I specifically requested to wear this, instead of..." He scrutinized Lyrian from head to toe, his gaze lingering critically, "That." Lyrian couldn't help but feel a slight offense at Leon's tone, arching an eyebrow. "What's with the sass?" he retorted. "This is the formal attire of my…

With excitement flowing from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head, and finally, to the tips of his fingers, he used those very fingers to slowly open up the tightly rolled-up scroll in front of him. He couldn't help but form a small grin on his face. The scroll was large and purple in paper color. Its handles were made of deep purple gems that resembled the inner Purgatory Stone. Upon finally opening the scripture, he found a healthy block of writing laid across it in dark ink. The writing was…
