In the morning, at dawn, five people, including Pierce, left the camp at the foot of the volcano. Pierce stopped them after they had walked a few miles. His face looked serious. After looking around for a while, he turned to the soldiers behind him. "William, Godo, you two stand next to each other in the back. George, Mura, you're right behind me. I will clear the way in front. Draw your weapons! The way ahead is not as clean as before. From now on, your training has officially begun!" Everyone started to get nervous. William put his sword on his shoulder with one hand and started walking to the right. Godo also had his spear on his shoulder. In front was George, the two-and-a-half-meter giant they had trained with for four years. He chose steel for his armor, despite the iron body technique. He used a mace with a shield as wide as he was. It gave the group a feeling of confidence. Mura next to him was completely average. From the beginning, his appearance was inconspicuous. But ev

William had spent the day in bed. His grandfather hadn't broken any bones, but he had crushed everything in the name of flesh and skin. He still felt pain when he was touched. After many years, he thought calmly again that he could read without thinking about his training. He was the first to arrive at his father's study. Although the room was empty, he did not sit in Theo's chair, but at the long window behind the chair. He was reading a book with his feet stretched out, looking out over the town. He had not yet read most of the books Hurim had brought him. The book he was currently holding was about the political structure and nobles of the Jade Wind Kingdom. Such a book should be completely forbidden, but it was written by the current king himself. The information it contained was mainly about the general military strength of the nobles and their influence in the kingdom. When the copy was distributed by the mages, all the nobles objected, arguing that the enemies could take a

Time waited for no one. William's two years passed in the blink of an eye. For two years he had been extremely active, just like an active student in his old world. He had completed all of his plans and had also taken care of some 'small' missions, such as taking care of the bandits his father had given him in between. Today was his big day. His father had written a letter of recommendation for him to the Academy. This letter of recommendation did not allow him to enter directly. It was like a chance. He would still have to pass a test to enter the Academy. Theo was confident that he would easily pass the test. At that time, William was saying goodbye to his family at the gate of the castle. Theo, Wilson and Sophia gave him a big hug. William wore a simple black robe over a silk shirt. Again, he wore black pants that were a little tight but not too tight, and finally, a guitar case was hung on his back. After a long struggle, he had it sewn by a tailor from the skin of an iron lev

William reached the town closest to the Academy at noon. This town was a stop and meeting point for students entering the Academy. The town was already filled with people. Some came with their bodyguards, while others were alone. Normally, the town had never been flooded with people like this, as it was a farming town. People who came to the academy for just a week or two a year would fill the whole town and leave a good income behind. William walked into an inn, wanting to eat and stay. Since it was the only inn in town, it was very crowded inside. The only empty place he could find was a four-person table with three seats. He approached the table and asked. "With your permission, may I sit down?" The handsome young man with blond hair and green eyes who was sitting alone in the corner looked at him and said, "Sure, you can sit." As William sat down, he saw the two teenagers across from him looking at him strangely and frowning slightly. He didn't care and ordered food and bee

The next day, William walked into the Black Forest early in the morning, showed his seal to the guards at the east gate, and announced his departure. He had planned a three-day journey for himself. One day to leave, one day to hunt, and one day to return. Several other teams entered the forest with William, but no one cared about William. After walking through the forest for a while, William realized he needed a mount. This area of the forest was mostly swamps. Sometimes he would sink into the mud and have to struggle for a long time to get out. When he walked until noon, he was finally able to get out of the swamps. He had never seen a man or a creature before. When he came out of the swamp, he was greeted by small hills. These hills were covered with various trees and were uncomfortably humid, though not as dense as a rainforest. He was worried that he hadn't seen any creatures since the morning, but after a while, his worry turned out to be unnecessary. He encountered a silv
