Not only Arion, the other six youngsters also stopped their training and frowned upon noticing that the whole earth was shaking. Their expressions became grave as the rumbling began to sound louder and louder till even their bodies started shaking. Arion wondered if this violent shaking was an earthquake. Because if it was then, he knew that he had to get out of this place quickly unless he wanted to get swallowed up by the earth. Then he felt that those were just exaggerated things shown in movies, and…-

"Is there any way to get a drop of blood from a Dreadling with the Darkness Aspect?" Arion asked curiously. Cayden had a blinking expression, "Arion, are you serious? A Dreadling with the Darkness Aspect is usually scarier than the others. Even if a Sentinel was able to kill one, what do you want to do with the blood of such a filthy being?" The rest were puzzled, too, wondering what made Arion come up with such a question. Arion put up an awkward smile and said, "It's nothing. I was feeling bored and…

"Got what?" Shun asked in a puzzled tone. "Nothing. But I wanted to confirm one thing. Aren't Dreadlings actually beasts in essence with a pranic heart, right?" Shun looked at him and said with a focused gaze, "Dreadlings, you mean those man-eating monsters? Yeah, obviously, they do have a pranic heart. Why the sudden interest in them?" "Are there dragon-like beings among them?" Arion asked with a thoughtful light in his eyes. Shun looked at him with a peculiar gaze but then sighed and said, "Look at…

"Oh my...we got a cutie here. Arion, who is your friend, and why were you hiding him inside?" Yuro asked as she got up and began to inspect Shun closely from all sides. Shun winced as he felt creeped out by her gaze and wondered who this nosy woman was. He took a step back and said before Arion could reply, "No one was hiding me. I was simply resting." "Ahh, you poor boy. I didn't know you were injured. Where did you find him, Arion?" Yuro asked, ignoring Shun's glare. She could see that Shun was…

"It's been a while since I entered your house. Hmm, it still looks clean. Mei sure knows how to do everything diligently. That I have to hand it to her," Yuro commented as she surveyed the interior of the house after bringing Arion in. She then took him to the dining hall and said, "Give me a few minutes. I will cook up something light and tasty. It should guarantee to make you feel good." "Mhm," Arion nodded. After Yuro left, Arion's expression became pensive. Despite acting like nothing was wrong, his…

Mei and Arion soon reached the Fok Grove Ward and Kisho, who was helping down Arion, said in a comforting tone, "Arion, my boy, don't worry about anything. If you need something, don't hesitate to ask this uncle, okay?" Arion softly smiled, "Of course, Uncle Kisho." "Hey, they returned," A middle-aged man called out as he saw Mei and Arion while working in his field. "Arion, I heard you were finally able to connect with Prana! Why didn't you tell us?" A woman looking in her late thirties came forward…

"Miss Mei, what a pleasant surprise. Can I invite you for a refreshing tea at my humble abode?" Senzo asked with a smile that could move a maiden's heart. Arion's brows wrinkled, seeing how blatantly Senzo was trying to flirt with Mei. He was already having a bad day, but now, seeing what was going on before him, it almost set off the fuse inside him. "Sentinel Senzo, I presume you have a corpse to report back to the Ward Chief, right?" Arion asked in an innocent tone as if he was genuinely concerned…

Arion had never felt so devastated before. It was as if more than ten years of his determination and dreams were broken in that instant. Even if he had only come into this world only yesterday, the feelings deep inside his heart felt like his own. It was as if all his hard work and efforts he had put in for almost a decade turned for naught. All his excitement and confidence, which received a significant boost yesterday, shattered. Feeling Mei's hand on his wrist, with an empty stare, he turned to look…

He made his way towards the Golden Monolith with a proud face as it was already time for the next batch. He entered the enclosed by a fence so that no one "unknowingly" crosses into the marked area and uses the Golden Monolith. "Your ten minutes starts now," One of the guards informed before minding his own business. Everyone hurriedly pressed their hands against the Golden Monolith at the same time while there were even many spectators watching them. Some of them were watching to pass their time while…

After Kisho helped Arion get down, he took a good look around. Unlike his Fok Grove Ward, the Central Ward was bustling with life; a number of people walking to and fro, visiting shops, chatting on the streets over drinks while some caught sight of the newly arrived people, and their eyes instantly got drawn towards Mei's enchanting figure. Mei already put on a white veil to cover the lower half of her face, but it really didn't help diminish her otherworldly charms. Instead, she seemed more mystical,…
