"Dears, I know that drinking is fun, but try to keep it for the evenings. Here you go." With the old, dignified looking lady once again approaching our table and placing two pairs of two completely different cups on the table, I was once again reminded about the difference in lifestyle between village and city. Even without proper the proper education, just the rich aroma steeming from the cups was enough to enlighten me about its content. "Let's start with the toast then!" Reaching forth with her arm,…-

Stunned by the beautiful sight of the city basked in the light of the midday's sun, Fen didn't even realise when the vibrant colours of the nearby buildings were replaced by the calm tones of green in one of the local shops. "Here you go, sweeties." This short sentence with how kind etched it was along with what word it ended at, managed to awaken Fen from his overwhelmed state. Looking down at the table he was sitting with his new classmate, he saw two servings of some kind of a strange meal. Just its…

Despite how she initially appeared to be quite perturbed by how Fen reacted to the mentions of the church, the girl rose up from her chair and smiled kindly both at the teacher and the young man himself. While it was only a simple smile, for a moment, Fen thought that the entire world has brightened out for him. But rather than assuming that something struck the strings in his heart, the young man held his breath for a moment, watching as the situation would continue to develop. Years of gathering…

The entire place was cleverly hidden within a square made of the hedge. If the entire place worked just like this, then quite a few other outdoors classrooms could be located all over the entire labyrinth. But for now, Fen's attention was fully drawn to the place he was in. With only a few meters of the free space available in the entire clearing, he couldn't even escape this place if that came to be the only possible choice for him! "Not only you are a failure of this class, but you can't even introduce…

"I assume Mark already explained the matter of grading talents to you?" Rather than outright replying to Fen's question, Hekarion only caressed his chin with a thoughtful look resting on his face. "I only know that they are something about the purity of one's bloodline. As for how it's graded, how does it work or anything else…" Shrugging his arms was enough for the answer. As his arms moved in the gesture holding an obvious meaning, Fen's lips curved upwards. After all, he was about to finally start…

For some, strange reason, nobody stopped them. Fen and his two protectors simply waltzed out of the cathedral, with only one question raging in their minds. How could they not notice? Only as the three of them were about to leave the direct proximity of the cathedral, Fen recalled one thing. This single bit that he couldn't connect with anything. Didn't Draconis mention something about creating a rival? What if this commotion really wasn't about him? What if Draconis influenced someone else in order to…

Seeing his body melting down, didn't cause Fen any pain. As surprising as it could get, it was the process of his body healing to keep up with its decay, that almost made him lose his mind! Returning to his senses within the sacred pond, the young man could only powerlessly watch as the fires eaten away at his flesh. Yet, as if sucking the flames inside and using them as a building material, his soul continued to recast his body from the flames. Even without a single test, Fen could feel that his skin…

It was as if the rules of the time didn't apply in this world. At one moment, Fen could gaze at the nearly endless body of the giant dragon. Yet, this ancient beast most likely didn't want to make the young man die from the seizure, turning into an elegant young man in the very next moment! Shoulders long, red hair enveloped his noble face. Dressed in what looked like a barbaric or at least primitive robes, his outfit still reached a far greater level of artistry than anything Fen saw previously in his…

"Respectable Sister, this matter is really urgent. Mark…" Not bothering to say anything else, Hekarion gestured at his former disciple. The message was obvious. Without even a moment of hesitation, the middle-aged arcanist pulled out the pouch and tossed it towards the leading female of the group. "We are really in a hurry." Sending a meaningful look across the small distance, Mark was surprisingly relaxed. It seemed as if just like with his master, being determined enough would serve as a message in…

"Just what the hell is going on?!" All the previous atmosphere was already stressful, yet it still put Fen in a rather good mood. Regretfully, it all shattered once he returned to the main hall. What used to be a comfortable place filled to the brim with wonders, turned into something he feared the most. A commotion. "Calm down, master. I really have the reason…" For the very first time, since Fen got to know Mark, he saw his saviour in a defensive position. This middle-aged arcanist had hands raised…
