Upon noticing Lyrian, the bear struggled to its feet and unleashed a fierce roar, showering him with a blizzard of saliva as he hastily fled the cave. The bear, already aggravated by the painful bite on its neck and the burden of fatigue, seethed with anger and chased after the source of its discomfort—the seemingly insignificant figure that had kicked it. Lyrian sprinted deeper into the dense forest, leaping over large plants and bushes, and gracefully maneuvering under fallen trees suspended in…-

As they tried to regain composure and get back onto their feet, they looked and noticed that within the disappearing smoke was an outline of a small, kid figure. As the smoke fully cleared, they saw the boy dressed in a simple white shirt--which was pretty dirty--and also a pair of cargo pants. He didn't have any weapon attached to his body, only things like pouches and other small trinkets, such as a white earpiece. He dashed over to the stunned Fire-Fang Wolf, his short brown hair waving in the…

Alten was immediately taken aback in shock, "What?! Are you sure Lyrian!?" Leon was also surprised by what he said, "Hmm... that changes things up a bit but if you think that's what's necessary then go for it. Just make sure to deal with the essence and come back before the exam ends." Alten's expression became more worried, "This Molten Essence, it seems much more dangerous than I first thought. As Leon said, you will actually be able to beat it right?" Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lyrian's…

"You're dead." The boy suddenly said, getting up and walking toward Lyrian. As he walked past the girl, he grabbed her hand gently as a gesture of romance, only for her to reluctantly pull away. After getting in front of Lyrian he said, "Who the hell do you think you are just because you took out some loser in our team. He was a sacrifice, like a sheep. You think you are some big shot cuz just you took him down?" The boy put his hand on Lyrian's shoulder. "I could kill weakling..." The boy paused,…

"It's a wire! A metal one." He said, as Alten quickly dashed over with his ostrich to where Lyrian was. Getting next to the wire, he placed his finger on it, "This is much darker than normal metal... it must be platinum!" He exclaimed, in surprise and awe. As soon as his finger lay on the barely visible metal wire, a miniature slit opened on the tip of it, and a drop of blood fell almost immediately. As this happened he was taken aback in shock, "Thank god you saw this... Lyrian. It's stupidly sharp,…

The sun arose on the 22nd day of the entrance exams to Anaviotis. Throughout the night, Lyrian was awoken two entire times by the excruciating pain of the Molten Essence trying to take over his body. As they packed up their stuff to leave, both Alten and Leon could notice how drowsy Lyrain still was, and how sluggishly he moved compared to normal. His expression was also more dull. Alten asked the reason behind this. Lyrian replied truthfully, "It's the golden slime or whatever I ate from the Earth…

Lyrian made his way back to the spot where they had initially fallen into the vast cavern. It was evident to him now that the purple gem he carried was also shattered, but fortunately, its adverse effects were no longer present. Upon his return, Alten greeted him with a sarcastic remark, "Did you have a pleasant bathroom break?" He chuckled at his own joke. Ignoring Alten's jest, Lyrian focused on the task at hand, "How do we find a way out of here?" Alten had already come up with an idea, "We…

The three moved on, retrieving the cores that were left on Arthur's body as they also left. Before fully leaving, however, Hugo and Han said a very grateful goodbye--during which Cedric stood with his face shadowed. After they left, it was only the three boys left in the cave. Alten questioned Lyrian on the thing with Han and the others, "Was what you said really the truth?" He asked. Lyrian paused for a moment before speaking, "Hmm... let's just say yes for the most part." He smiled. Currently, he…

As smoke left Lyrian's hand, he unclenched his fist and held it down to his side. The Kailion squirmed around some more, but Lyrian quickly grabbed his sword and sheathed it before reaching into its neck cavity and obtaining the core. He needed both hands to take it out of the Kailion's body, and as he tore it out, the life force of the beast escaped. Its dangerous eyes faded into a dull nothingness, as its body ceased all movement. *Ding* As Lyrian heard this, a slight smile appeared on his…

Raising his sword triumphantly, Lyrian struck a decisive blow at the Kailion's neck. Leon, who had taken a risky action, glanced up and found that his bold move had paid off. Witnessing Lyrian's moment of glory were Alten, Hugo, and Han. Alten's excitement was palpable, while the other two seemed relatively disappointed, though they still valued their friendship with Lyrian. Even Silas and Kang, who were still engaged in their battles, halted their actions to observe Lyrian's sword swing. It was a…
