First Lesson
By the time he arrived at the Academy, William had barely made it to his room. Though his wounds would heal in a few days, the exhaustion he felt right now was enough to kill him. He immediately sat down on his bed and quickly pulled a small box from his dimensional bag to bandage his wounds. It contained healing ointments, long thin cloths to bandage his wounds, and needle and thread. His wounds didn't need stitches. So he just rolled over. Then he quickly lay down on his bed and fell asleep, not even thinking about the reward for the mission. When he awoke, it was not yet dawn. Being so tired, his stomach began to growl with hunger. Since he was exhausted, the snake meat he had been eating for a few days was his only remedy. He cooked and ate on his sword as usual. The next day, he woke up very rested, although parts of his body hurt. But he felt energetic. As he watched the sun rise slowly from his small window, he felt that today would be a good day. He dressed early and wen

Mission Completed
[Days and nights I'm walking alone Like the wind, nowhere I belong...] William removed his hand from the guitar strings and looked at the others. All of their eyes were shining. This time not only the girls, but also the trio that had come with him looked at him with confused eyes. They thought he was just going to play something simple and funny, like an ordinary bard. But this song almost made them cry. As they listened, they dreamed of a lonely wanderer on the roads. It dragged them along for days like a grain of sand in the wind. Loneliness had penetrated their hearts. They imagined their faces in the wanderer. "William, do you have any more?" Venil asked. The tears in the corners of her eyes were like a climber holding on to a branch to avoid falling. William replied with a smile. "There are, but I can't guarantee you'll like them." "It doesn't matter, if it's like that, it doesn't matter at all." The four girls said at the same time. William found it hard not to laugh. "T

Those Damn Facts Again
" Etha was a strong man. He was at the peak of gold level. At present, the principal of the academy is also at the gold level, but one is at the top while the other is at the beginning. At the top of the Mage Tower, there is only a third-tier mage. From what I've said, can you guess his strength?" "Yes, but isn't there another gold-ranked warrior besides the academy principal?" "This is where things get complicated, and yes, there is absolutely no one stronger than the academy principal!" "Why is that?" said William in surprise. Actually, he had just received the answer to this question from Teacher Yura this morning. "Before I answer that question, let me tell you about the illusions in Etha's first book." He took a sip from his beer. " The empires that Etha suspects in his book are unfortunately not on our continent." "What do you mean, not on our continent?" "Yes, I know it may be shocking, but we actually live on an island!" "Is...island?" William felt that things were gett

Study
The sun was setting when William came into his room. William really wanted to relax and play computer games. In reality, however, he knew that he would soon have to learn the techniques he had just learned. A week later he would have to go hunting with Baldur. Becoming stronger always occupied at least half of his mind. Now that thought only grew when he learned that he was trapped in a place that looked like a prison. So he quickly sat down on his bed and took out the copied scroll of the Execution Sword. The techniques were already done. They had given William the copy, not the original. That was fine, there was no change in the content. As he read, this technique took advantage of every bit of his interest. It was a very nice and useful technique. For a moment, he thought he was one of the characters from the famous movie in his old world. In this dream, he held a lightsaber in his hand. Dressed in an all-black cloak, he said "All too easy" after pushing his opponent off a hug

Together
Six days later, at dawn, William arrived at Baldur's house. He knocked on the door. Baldur's voice came from inside. "I'm coming!" After a few breaths, Baldur opened the door. He invited William in, but William spoke before he entered. "Come on? Aren't we going?" "I'm having breakfast?" Baldur replied in surprise. "Breakfast? Are you crazy?" "Why, what happened?" "Dude, there is breakfast everywhere in the Black Forest. Also fresh! Why are you eating here?" Through the opening between Baldur and the door, William had seen a few pieces of bread, sausages, and what looked like cheese. "Come on, pack up quickly, we'll have breakfast in the forest." He said. Baldur was someone who had hardly ever been involved in anything like this before. He had always been sheltered. Even though his huge body made him look like a strong and fierce person, he was usually either in the library of the Mage Tower or in his laboratory. He had hardly left his lab since his arrival at the academy whe

Hunting with Baldur
Running at full speed, they were out of breath by the time they reached the Worm Mountains. William spoke out of breath. "One day I will kill all these wolves. They annoy me every time." "Why is that?" Baldur was in better shape. "I don't know, but I think it's because of that little wolf. He's as smart as a fox, and I don't even know what he's up to. Anyway, let's go." He said. He was rested. He had avoided the last mountain he had gone to when he had taken Baldur to the Worm Mountains. He didn't want anyone to know about the metal heart inside of that mountain. Last week he was able to get some information from some books. This information was about the metal heart. Most of the information he read was just a guess, but even that was enough for him to realize the value of the metal heart. This type of elemental heart would indicate that a creature was platinum level or higher. And it's a powerful one, even among the platinum levels. It was the embodiment of a creature's power.

Thanks
With Baldur's voice, he gathered all his strength in his legs and jumped like a rocket. As he almost reached the ceiling of the cave, he saw the ground shake before he fell. The worm was still staring at him, screaming. It wanted to eat him in the air. As if trying to catch a fly. Sharp spikes began to emerge from the trembling ground. It was like a giant spear. They came out so fast that William didn't even notice the spikes slithering through his chin and out over his head as the creature that was about to devour William opened its mouth in glee as William fell through the air into the creature's mouth. The creature died while William was airborne. William stared at the strange scene in awe. 'Mages are really strong,' he thought. Meanwhile, he fell to the ground. It was as if he was looking at a work of art from his old world. The creature had turned into a kebab, completely skewered on spikes. William dragged his exhausted body towards the creature's body. The creature had alr

A New Sword
William dragged his slightly tired body to the treasury building in the center of the academy. He had only fought the wolf today. Actually, it didn't even count as a fight, only the wolf had been defeated. He had had enough rest while riding the wolf. That's why he was in a hurry to sell what he had. The feeling of not having a sword made him nervous. When he arrived in front of the treasury building, he saw that it was crowded. Normally, newcomers to the Academy would never visit this building. That was because they would exchange the corpses of the creatures they obtained for contribution points for missions. Right now, everyone in this building was either at iron level or higher. They would only exchange the corpses of the creatures they killed for contribution points or soul stones. Most students would find it a burden to hunt another non-mission creature. Hunting can be "hard" for some people. The attendant was a young man with short black hair and a long, straight face. He

Tryable
After leaving the weapon building, William walked slowly to Baldur's house. He also wanted to move into such a house, but without being the silver level it was impossible. The academy only gave a house to a bronze level. It was a small one-story house behind the dormitories. It also had a garden, but it couldn't be compared to the villa Baldur lived in. He knocked on the door and Baldur opened it. He had taken off the leather armor he had been wearing and had changed into long, comfortable mage robes. William always admired his tailor. The golden stripes of his blue robes, the patterns resembling an island in the middle of the ocean, gave Baldur an even more serious aura. "I have been waiting for you." He said, motioning for William to sit down. As William sat down, he began to speak. "I will make the potions in a week. After that, I will try to become both a bronze-level warrior and a second-level mage. Come to me in exactly one week and get your potions," he said. Then he wrot

New Sword
Two days passed so quickly. He felt stronger overall. He got up from the cushion he was sitting on and yawned terribly. It was as if he wanted to break his arms and back. After leaving the room, he quickly gave the seal to the teacher and left. Right now, he had an overwhelming desire to see his new sword, but being a bit of a masochist, he decided to eat breakfast first. He ate almost the size of a whole lamb for breakfast. He had paid two soul stones for it, but it was definitely worth it. After leaving the dining hall, he quickly made his way to the Weapon Building. When he entered, he saw that only two young attendants were there. There was no teacher. He approached them and asked. "Where is the teacher? My sword, is it ready?" The two looked at his excited face and wanted to make fun of him, but just then the Teacher came through the door. He was carrying a box on his back. He spoke as he walked. "Heheh, brat, your sword is ready." He said and went upstairs with a smile.
