071: Infiltration
With the pain gone from Emrys’s heart, he also gained a new existence—the original self created by the giant wolf’s maker.On top of that, he was granted all the powers of the creator: Creation Magic, Rapid Healing, Dimension Bending, Absolute Defense, and many more.Emrys knew instinctively how to use them. In exchange, the pain of losing a loved one—the pain of betrayal, the pain of being rejected for who he truly was—was gone.He could recall those memories as clearly as looking into a mirror, but no tears remained in his eyes. It was as if the pain had been stolen from his heart and replaced with the power capable of destroying kingdoms and conquering cities.This was what Emrys wanted. And for now, his only thought was revenge against those who had hurt him. Perhaps, later, he might even change the world itself and rule it.The sun rose.At the institute’s gate, two guards spotted a figure approaching. Emrys simply continued walking until the sharp tips of their spears were in fr
072: Doubt
Headmaster Hanzuo stood up from his seat and clapped once to get everyone’s attention. “At this moment! We will see who the five winners of this competition really are.”The crowd parted.“Let’s not waste time. Begin the first match!”A small bell rang at the side, signaling the start of the first battle.Desmond appeared in the center of the arena. As usual, his eyes showed no emotion as he adjusted his glasses and announced, “From the Black Dragons Guild! Magnus Silver! Facing Dao Daishin from the Gray Phoenix Guild!”The crowd erupted with cheers, though the kings and the headmaster only clapped politely.The two Guild Leaders stepped down from the stage. Both were proud and confident as they faced each other, with Desmond standing between them.“I will defeat you now, Magnus. Watch closely,” Dao said, staring at his opponent with full confidence.Magnus showed no emotion and stepped back a few steps. “I’ve lost count of how many times you’ve said that. Yet not once have you won.”
073: Realization
They didn’t know if the masked man was deaf or mute, because he still refused to respond or give any sign that he was listening to what the headmaster was saying.The longer they waited, the more impossible it became to get any reaction from him.There was only one conclusion: he was extremely dangerous.When Hanzuo finally gave up trying to talk to him, the masked man signaled that they would attack.One of the teachers, ranked 5th Grade Falcon, unleashed a massive electrical charge capable of piercing a building. But using Dimension Bending, Emrys twisted it, and in an instant, the lightning returned to strike the teacher who released it.The impact caused an explosion, leaving the struck teacher unconscious and shocking everyone.“What kind of power does this person have?! He’s a dangerous opponent!”Desmond jumped back and tried to run, looking at Hanzuo. “Order everyone to retreat! We can’t handle just one of him!”But he noticed the headmaster’s eyes wide with shock—too late. Th
074: Bond
In the forest,Jin had been waiting, doing nothing but thinking deeply about Emrys. He had no idea what had happened to him. He hadn’t even touched the meat he had cooked the previous night since Emrys left.It was cold and had flies on it, but that didn’t concern Jin at all right now.Suddenly, a tree beside him toppled as if pushed by the wind and exploded. Jin jumped back as pieces of wood scattered everywhere.He immediately drew his blade, but his worry returned when he saw who had appeared from the explosion.Emrys had fallen to the ground. The mask on his face was removed, and blood continuously flowed from his mouth and nose.The boy was dizzy and starting to pale.Jin quickly took care of him, not asking why he had worn a mask shaped like the princess’s mask from Central Vale or why he had the White Temple Institute uniform on.Emrys had slept for two days.Yet Jin continued caring for him, even more diligently than a mother would. Sometimes, he wondered if all this effort wa
075: Travelers part 1
Emrys frowned as he looked at Jin.They were walking through the forest when Jin said something that surprised Emrys. “What did you say again?”“I’m coming with you.”Emrys shook his head. “I can’t. If they find out I caused trouble at the institute, you could get caught up too because you’re with me.”“I’ve made my decision. Think of this as repayment for all the help I’ve given you.”Emrys tilted his head. “Repayment for your help is letting you stay and help me again?”“Exactly. Glad you understand.”Emrys slumped his shoulders, and Jin noticed.“Why? You don’t want me with you?”Emrys paused, then smiled at Jin. “Well, it would be nice to have company on this journey.”Jin nodded. “I see.”“All right. From now on, we’re friends.”Jin almost laughed. “So you only made me your friend now?”“You’re right.”Jin’s temper flared, and he tried to hit Emrys, but Emrys easily dodged while laughing. “Just joking. I can’t make you laugh anyway.”“Stay away from me.”They exited the forest, a
076: Travelers part 2
“You took so long. I thought you only bought a map?” Emrys asked, his mouth full.Jin sat beside him and signaled the old woman to bring him food as well. He looked at Emrys. “I also bought a bag. Pick whichever you like.”“Really?” Emrys quickly turned around and saw the two bags leaning nearby. He frowned at Jin. “Why aren’t they the same color?”“You really want matching colors for our bags? Are you crazy?”“But I want matching colors!”“Pick one, or I’ll hit you.”“I’ll take the red one.” Emrys pouted.“There’s no red. Are you blind?” Jin said, trying to stay patient.“Then I’ll take the black one.”“Here’s your order.” The old woman placed Jin’s food in front of him.Emrys smiled and thanked her. “Thank you.”They ate until they were full. Several times Emrys burped. “Jin, pay the lady.”The old woman was waiting. Jin looked at his friend, picking food out of his teeth with a toothpick. “Idiot. The money is yours.”“I thought you had money?”“With all the food you ate, do you thi
077: Discussion
The sun was setting.In a part of the forest, a rabbit was quietly eating near a tree. In a flash, Jin grabbed the rabbit by its ears and smiled up at the sky before returning to their spot.He found Emrys lying on the ground, using his arms as a pillow. The campfire was lit, and three rabbit meats were being cooked.As night fell and their food finished cooking, they began to eat. Emrys couldn’t help asking, “Jin, I have a question.”“What is it?”“If we meet the princess of Central Vale again, and I end up killing her, will you be mad at me?”Jin paused mid-bite and stared at Emrys, the fire crackling between them. Emrys’ expression was serious, waiting for an answer. Jin looked away and sighed.“She’s a kind princess, at least from what I know. But she can be ruthless to those who threaten the people she protects. No one in our town suffers or goes without work. No one goes hungry on the streets. Crimes are rare, and it’s peaceful because she manages things well. She is the princes
078: Bounty
"He still has the nerve to wear our institute's uniform while attacking us. It's a huge insult! I want him dead right in front of me. Even if I have to pay thousands of gold coins just to make his capture easier, I will do it!" the headmaster shouted, his voice echoing through the closed room.The door opened, revealing an elegant man dressed like the commander of all Castle Knights. The emblem on his cloak showed a red dragon's head, clearly marking him as from the Li Kingdom.It was none other than the kingdom's Knight Commander, Ventri Li, the younger brother of King Xien. He possessed 8th Grade Celestial power, comparable to the High Elder of the institute, the strongest in the school.Noticing him enter, Hanzuo immediately stood and greeted the commander with a respectful bow. "Good evening, Commander Ventri. I'm glad you accepted my invitation."The commander bowed slightly, glanced at the other teachers, and then returned his gaze to Hanzuo. "No problem. I'm here to inform you
079: Strange
“Even if the reward they offered is small or large, that’s still not a reason for you to be careless,” Jin said. The street was less crowded now, so they could speak more freely, though they still lowered their voices to be safe.Emrys looked at him and replied, “In that case, shouldn’t I worry about having you with me? What if you suddenly arrest me and hand me over to the knights of this town?”“I could have done that when you were asleep in the forest, or when you fainted after stealing from the institute and causing chaos. But I didn’t, because I’m not that kind of person. Don’t compare me to anyone else, Emrys.”Emrys smiled at that. He hugged Jin, who was surprised but avoided looking directly at him. “You really are dependable, Jin! Always reliable! But… you’re hiding another reason, aren’t you?”“What do you mean?” Jin also couldn’t meet his gaze directly.Emrys grinned mischievously, still with his arm around him.Irritated, Jin pushed Emrys away and sighed, pulling a paper f
080: Terminus
“Jin Dui’s job was only to bring Emrys Valestron back to their town. But we heard that afterward, Skull Howler was destroyed, and everyone there died, including the respected Elder Morem. Since then, we haven’t received any news about the two boys.”Lopra took a deep breath and began pacing across the field. “The assumption is that they might have been caught up in the town’s destruction and died as well,” Laugro added as he walked alongside her.“But there’s no solid evidence to confirm that,” Lopra said.“That’s also why it wasn’t informed to Jin Dui’s family,” Laugro continued.They fell silent for a moment before Laugro stopped in front of her. “My point is this: could the two of them be involved in the attack on our institute? If Jin Dui is still alive, it’s strange that he still hasn’t returned. What could be the reason?”“If they are alive, it’s possible they’re together now,” Lopra responded, staring seriously at him. “But how does their survival relate to the person who attac
