"Hey…" I started. "What are you doing? "I'm drawing." "I can see that, but…" Why? Sitting across from me, separated only by a round small table, was a girl with long black hair. Her ruby eyes focused on the paper on the desk, while her white small and soft hand holding the pencil, scribbling on the paper. If anything was weird, the pencil hardly made any sound, it was as if she was drawing on the air rather than the paper's surface. Also, her drawing skill… Her drawing skill was… uhh,…-

The night was cold. The leaves danced with the cool night breeze, and the moon reflected on the surface of the pond water, it was so beautiful. Not far from the pond, there was a grove. A swing was tied between the trees. On that swing, a boy with a wide smile hummed happily yet sounded creepy. The boy swung back and forth on the creaking swing, his eyes glinting in the moonlight. His pale face was illuminated by the silvery glow, and his brown hair fluttered in the cool night breeze. The grove…

The Neohpyte Nexus ended with my victory against Julian Klein who ranked 666th of the second-year students. The event closing was as much exciting as the main event itself. Nuria gave a few speeches, an encouragement that triggered students' inner desire to become stronger. I never knew she could give inspiring speeches. Did someone help her with the script? Anyway, Neophyte Nexus this year was one of the best events the academy ever held. The only one where the first-year students overwhelmed the…

As I came to the stage, the host directed me to the weapon box. I took two daggers from it and traced my finger on the blade. Taking notice that the blade was a bit dull, I wondered if the other weapons the previous fighters were using also had a dull blades. Well, the purpose of this event wasn't to kill your opponent, so a dull dagger would suffice. "Is that your weapon of choice?" said the host. "Yes," I nodded. Yes, dual daggers were enough. To be honest, I was better in using dual daggers…

Noah Alfonso was a character I created to bring comedy into the story, though he was antagonizing Lux because girls were flocking to him. But, in the end, he was the only one who lived longer together with Lux in a world where humanity had perished. He'd bring joy in a world of nothing, the only source of Lux's sanity after losing all his comrades and friends. Although, it would be long to see the better of him… for now, he was still irrelevant to the story. 'Unless I interfered, that is…' On…

The entire stage was covered in fierce aura force coming from Leonardo's body, even when stood outside or even up at the seating area, everyone could feel the intense pressure of the aura. "Cyclone Slash!!" With a swing of his scythe, he unleashed the Cyclone Slash, which combined multiple smaller aura waves into a massive cyclone that left a trail of destruction on the stage as it headed toward the second-year student. Upon seeing that, I couldn't help but be mesmerized by Leonardo's power. Sure he…

Seo Yeong-Ha glared at Baek Jin who was standing a few paces away from her and asked. "Are you underestimating me, Jin?" "What do you mean?" Baek Jin replied, flexing his fist and stretching his body. "Use your sword!" Seo Yeong-Ha insisted. "Don't wanna," Baek Jin replied while massaging his neck. A crisp cracking sound could be heard as he did so, suggesting his body was stiff from sitting too long. Gritting her teeth, Seo Yeong-Ha clenched her fist so tightly that her palm turned pale, revealing…

As soon as Nuria said that, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, and I couldn't help but feel a thrill of anticipation myself. "Let's enjoy the show, everyone!" Beep–! The screen was turned off and left only with a black screen. On the arena, someone was standing on the platform at the center of the arena, his voice echoing throughout the massive space. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Neophyte Nexus!" The host began, his voice filled with excitement. "Today, we witness the clash of…

As Ember stepped up to the podium, her cold demeanor seemed to intensify, and the room fell silent. She stared out at the audience with a blank expression before beginning to read from the script. "Good afternoon, fellow students and faculty of Octagram Academy. My name is Ember Crimson, and I am honored to be standing before you today as the top-ranked student in the entrance exam." Her voice was monotone and devoid of emotion, but there was something about the way she spoke that commanded…
