Midnight, the atmosphere was eerie; but it was even more so- in the auditorium. “Let the trial begin.” In the auditorium, six people sat behind a long desk on the stage. Below the stage, in front of the six- stood a middle aged man with a moustache. And on the audience seats, behind the moustached man- sat a dozen or so men and women. None of them were ranked lower than a silver embroidered senior instructor, nor weaker than a level 6 circler. “Instructor Davian Reeds, you were arrested under the…-

Three months later. Four months had already passed since Adrian admitted himself into the Academy. He was absorbing magical energy when an excited voice woke him up. “Young master! I have reached level 3!” Isabella shouted with joy. She was sitting cross legged a bit away from Adrian. “Calm down, girl. It’s just level 3.” He responded casually. This caused Isabella to feel a bit dejected. The instructor had said that even a tier 5 talent could not reach level 3 under six months, unless the…

Evelyn slid her bathrobe back on, her eyes not daring to meet his. Now that everything was over, she felt so embarrassed and ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole; even her royal mentality could not save her from it. “Looks like my darling princess is still embarrassed after all those moans and whines a few seconds ago.” She could hear Adrian’s mocks. Adrian pulled his pants back on. After their ‘session’ was over, they sent the maids out- leaving them alone in the lavish room. Not…

Adrian stood up. He dragged the cozy, but heavy, sofa to a spot beside the bed. The sofa was now facing the bed, and the mirror fitted dressing table which was on the other side of the bed. He sat on it and gestured the princess to sat on the bed facing him. The princess was confused but still- she followed; she was very curious about his course of action. There was two meters distance between the two, who were now facing each other, one on the moved sofa and the other on her bed. “Now, call in the…

Adrian went to his room. Though he had quite the thrill this evening, it could not be denied that it was too much for a 16 year old body; he was really tired. Isabella, who was ordered to hide away, was in the room- waiting for him. She looked scared. “You sensed everything, right?” Like the darkness attribute, nether wind attribute had the same magical immunity- heightened sensory abilities. “Yes.” She replied in a sheepish tone. “That’s my true self. Do you still want to stay with…

“Ronald!” “Mister Hastings!” “Are you in charge of this area this evening? What happened? I sensed a bit of magical energy fluctuations and also screams. Where is it coming from?” “Yes. I also sensed them; I was on my way to the Fredrick House.” “The Fredrick House!?” “Yes.” “Fuck! Hurry up!” Both of them stepped up their pace as they rushed towards the Fredrick House. Once they reached the door, the silver adorned instructor Hastings pushed the door- it was not locked.…

The night was not too dark as the full moon smiled upon the world- lighting it up. Four silhouettes could be seen standing upon a roof- the roof of one of the most special dorms in the Academy, Fredrick House. Their faces were hidden by hoods and fabric masks. “Is it really necessary for all four of us to gather just to eliminate two newbies?” One of them said in a low voice. “Orders are orders, Fourth.” Another one said. “Understood. So, what’s the plan of action?” The one called…

But as soon as the class teacher entered, the lively atmosphere became silent. Everyone stood up and greeted her. The instructor returned the greeting before saying, “An exciting day, isn’t it? Everyone of you will get choose your own weapons today.” “Yes!” Everyone replied in chorus, except a certain individual. “Adrian Darkheart.” The instructor…

The day before the ceremony. Adrian was writing something on a parchment while Isabella was standing nearby. “You are good with bows and knives, right?” “Ye… yes. Father taught me how to use the bow and I know how to cook.” The question surprised Isabella but she answered nonetheless. “Perfect. You were born to be an assassin.” “Yes. I… WHAT!?” She was flabbergasted. She wanted to retort. But before she could, her young master stopped writing and gave the parchment to…

“Greeting, instructor!” Everyone in the class stood up, Adrian included. “Sit down, everyone. Hopefully, everyone successfully chose and studied their essences.” She said while scanning the room. “Seeing your weary and sleepless faces, I am assured that everything will go well today.” She giggled. “Anyone have any questions?” “Instructor, I think you forgot to talk about tier 5 affinity yesterday.” A student stood up. “I forgot? No, my dear student. I just did not want to…
