Basil listened to Irene's story about his father all the way to his mansion. He had known who had been his mother in his past life. However, the name had been all he got. He didn't know about her distinct features or whatsoever. This time however, he could know quite a lot about his father as he had a living witness to tell him about it. Still, it was the best he could get. Simply by hearing stories or people's description can never make anyone to really know someone. For that to happen, one needs to…-

Nicholas held his hand hanging in the air. Irene was unfazed. She looked at Nicholas straight in the eyes, therefore she could see Nicholas wasn't focusing on her. She didn't feel the pressure Basil was emitting, however she could still feel the faint dread he was emitting. "Huuh... You may leave!" Lastly, Nicholas put his hand down. Irene didn't ask any further question as she directly went inside the mansion. The atmosphere was so thick one can cut through it. Nicholas gritted his teeth. He didn't want…

The nineteen students were carried to the infirmary to get treated. Among them, the four pillars received the lightest injuries. Still, it didn't mean the injuries were something to scoff at either. Basil got out of the field and moved his feet toward Blake and Chester. Every eyes followed his movement like they were looking at a celebrity. Blake gazed at the approaching Basil and smiled wryly. Blake glanced to his left, at Corvet who had been eager about this battle. Corvet had a look of a constipated…

A heavy pressure swiped the Battle Ground and everyone could feel it. The closest person to Basil had their knees buckled and were close to collapse. They looked at Basil with trembling eyes and an expression filled with terror. At that moment where everyone was silent, four people casted a Spell in unison. "!" Boom! Fire materialized out of thin air followed by a strong wind that swept it. Fire and wind were mixed creating a storm out of fire for the world to see. The four people who had casted it…

The whole class was entirely silent However, the silence wasn't perceived for long. A laughter rang out through the classroom waking up the students from their daze. "Hahaha! Look at this pup! Just because he can instill fear towards his peers, he thinks could do the same to us, upperclassmen. Ridiculous!" "Know your place underclassman!" "A dog barking at a pack of tigers. Shameless!" "This guy's funny! I can't wait to see his expression in despair." Harsh criticisms and ridicules poured down on…

"These girls are thirsty!" "..." "Didn't you see their reaction before? That signified thirstiness!" "..." "Ckckck. So young yet so thirsty. What a perfect way to describe human." "..." "Why are you silent, Darling?" 'Because, I don't want to join the stupidly stupid conversation,' was left unsaid. He couldn't risk it. Vagus was the same as Pandora Box. You will be so eager to open, yet when it opens, dooms await you. Basil wanted to respond her, however he knew more than anyone not to. Vagus would…

The trip continued silently, at least for Basil's part. Shirley and Julia became a mute for a few moments before they regained their rowdiness once again. Basil didn't interrupt them. He knew they were trying to distract their minds from the earlier event. Everyone's first time of watching the act of killing in front of them had never been pleasant. Even more so the first experience of killing someone. However, Basil couldn't understand this. He had been fine when he had first killed someone. He had…

The room was engulfed in silence. While while Chester and Blake was still cooping up at the fact Basil had just said that, Basil merely sipped his tea calmly. He didn't tell them anything, however he didn't tell them lie either. He knew he could trust them, however he didn't want to involve anyone in his own problem. Nobody should know his own matters, as he would solve it by himself. Being helped is a good thing, but intervention will be unavoidable. Clack. "Do you have anything to ask me, Sir?" Basil…

Basil let go of Ansley's hand and turned his head toward Blake to call the match end. Ansley was still looking at Basil as if he couldn't tear his eyes away from him. He was contemplating Basil's words. He got what Basil intended to say. However, to blatantly spat it in front of his face was rather daring. Still, he liked daring men like Basil — not in the wrong way. "The match is ended! Winner, Basil Cobham of Stardust Academy!" Two of the dueller turned at Blake in slight annoyance. In Basil's case,…

The silence was suffocating. While the audiences were nervous, the two people were looking at each other's eyes silently. Basil was still calm and unfazed. In the other hand, Ansley was having an unreadable expression on his face. Boom! The pressure battle from the start resumed once again. However, unlike before, this time they were releasing their full might. Second-Circle versus Fifth-Circle. Even though Ansley was handicapped, in terms of pressure he should be superior than Basil. However, reality…
