"Hm? This was completely unexpected." Jedidiah's brows mildly jumped up in astonishment as his gaze lingered on the half frozen statue a couple meters away from him. Currently his right fingers were clasped tightly around a strange object. A couple moments ago when Jedidiah noticed the ice chains aiming towards his direction, he had utilized the only defensive trump card he had in his arsenal.- Agatha Mirror This was a Weapon Talisman that Jedidiah had recently obtained from the system. Judging by its name and the few lines of description attached to it, Jedidiah had already created a mental picture of the Talisman's appearance once it was successfully activated.- A shiny wide mirror twice his height that had the ability to withstand and reflect all kinds of magical attacks. At least that was how it usually played out in those video games he played in the past. However what Aiden had never made a mental preparation for was that the supposed Agatha Mirror wasn't actually a mirro

Inside a chamber completely shrouded in darkness, the only source of color that could be seen was a dark grey puff of smoke that slowly twisted across the air like a mini tornado. Save for the sharp inhales and exhales, the chamber was completely silent.- An ominous tension hung sharply in the atmosphere. However, this status quo was soon shattered by the sound of carefully-paced footsteps. The sharp sound of heavy gulping echoed as the sound of someone falling on their knees, rang out. "F--Father. Y--You called for me?" with his head bent down in shame and his knees firmly kissing the expensive tiles in the study chambers of the Vanderwaal family Patriarch, Zach bit his lower lips — in a futile attempt to stiffle the terror he was currently feeling. After leaving the Brunch Party, Zach had intentionally delayed his return back to the Vanderwaal Manor. Making multiple detours, Zach had hoped by the time he returned, his father would've long forgotten about the setback he suffere

—[Does Host wish to level up Core Skill?]—[This action will cost -50 Skill Gems]—[System Tidbit]- The higher Host levels up s core skill, the greater it's effect... "I accept." Jedidiah begrudgingly gave his consent. He was still reeling from disappointment concerning how "ordinary" the latest Core Skill he just unlocked, turned out to be. Hopefully once he levels the Core Skills to its peak, the results won't be disappointing. As if reading his thoughts, a new series of notification windows popped open before his eyes. Fortunately the notification sounds could only be heard by him or Chuck would've been distracted by the noise.—[Core Skill; Texas Hold 'M' had been successfully leveled up!]—[A new sub skill has been successfully added — Dealer's Touch.] Following this notification, a new system window opened up before Jedidiah's eyes. On the screen, a video footage was currently running. The footage depicted a woman whose head was cascaded with rose -silver hair, with a ridic

The sound of tires slightly screeching across asphalt, echoed, following a sleek black limousine pulling over besides a mixed used building — Whose ground floor was occupied by an ice cream shop. Alighting down from the limousine, Jedidiah noticed a couple others dressed in a similar fashion as he was. Alighting down from the several taxis they've boarded, these students elegantly sauntered towards the large building situated at the north west corner of the street. "Young Master." Jedidiah who was just about to follow along was forced to halt his footstep. With the window of the driver's seat pulling down, Chuck's worried face came into view."After the scene you caused at the brunch party yesterday, Zach will most likely attempt to get back at you.." pursing his lips, a sharp flicker fleeted across Chuck's eyes as he took an hesitant pause. He was actually thinking of enrolling into the Academy as a Teacher. With that position, he could better protect his young master from any she

"That's funny. Considering I don't ever recall asking for your approval. I won my title as King Shakespeare fair and square. If you had a problem with that, why didn't you speak up back at the Grand Regency Hotel, two nights ago?" Nelly Kira sneered in response. "I was on a business trip so I was unable to attend the Mystical Arts Fiesta. However if I had shown up, we won't even be having this conversation." B--Business trip? Jedidiah was forced to give the person standing before him, a second deeper look. Although Nelly Kira appeared to be between the age of nineteen and twenty, Jedidiah found it difficult to comprehend how someone like that was both running a business and also attending the Academy. Wait. Was that even allowed? "So what do you have in mind?" judging by the tone of the other party, Jedidiah could already deduce that Nelly Kira was stubborn to prove her point — He wasn't worthy of holding the title of King Shakespeare. Since that was the case, there was no point
