‘What did I do to deserve this hate, huh?’ he wondered. “Tell the lad to step forward and support his claim!” one of the Vincent family members yelled out, and every single person currently watching also yelled in agreement. “How did such a weak beat outperform the legendary ones!?” “There has to be a glitch in the system. One that he probably knew about and then exploited!” another yelled. Alaric didn’t spare them a glance. What was he going to do that would make them have a change of mind? Nothing. Nothing comes to mind. “There is no way the Imperial Academy will accept a student that cheats. That will be a stain to our name,” the examiner said with a tone filled with authority. The students surrounding him suddenly moved farther away from him that instant. Who would want to be anywhere close to someone the most prestigious school had abandoned? “I disagree with your claim!” another examiner yelled, his voice was heavily coated with fury.Alaric’s eyes twitched, someone see

“Since you are so sure of yourself, why don’t we make a bet?!” Lucien’s voice tore through the explosion of laughter, but it wasn’t what he said at that moment that made them fall silent. Instead, it was what he said next, the wager, the amount he called. “I am betting ten million denars worth of beast materials. That is enough to make anyone rich enough or cultivate their beast to a powerful enough one that you won’t get to with your time in that already forsaken academy,” he added with a glint in his eyes, and he seemed to be planning something. Alaric could tell, after all, they had spent years together, and when it came to his case, Lucien was always up to one mischief or the other. It was not surprising that he would be up to something similar right now. “Since you made that stupid declaration, I am sure that you think you can’t lose and you will win the bet. That is the only choice you have. It is not like you can just summon up to ten million denars worth millions if you lo

Kira sat on his bed with his legs folded under him and his fingers placed under his chin as he studied Elena, who stood before him. It looked like he was studying Elena, but actually, he was staring at the holographic screen in front of her and the details on it. The moment he opened it. A loud ding filled his ears like the sound of an incoming message. [Congratulations on your defeat of a Fog Demon! Your performance evaluation was…]The message slowly vanished, and then a few seconds passed before another one appeared. [...SSS rank]"Huh?” he muttered, rubbing his chin gently. “SSS rank?” “What does that mean?” Elena tilted her head slowly to the side, studying her master just as he was studying her. “Did you say something, Master?”“No,” Alaric was quick to respond, but without taking his eyes off the system panel. The message vanished again, just like it had done earlier, and then it was replaced with another, but this time it was almost immediately. [Reward Granted: Balan

It didn’t seem like Kira was going to back down from the conversation or let it go and that frightened the two maids. She had enough power in that house to fire them. Sure her father might question her, but it will only be to know the reason why she had fired them, nothing more. The maids know how much Lord White trusts his daughter and the decisions that she makes. The first maid was quick to bow her head in apology, her eyes watery with tears, losing this job was one thing she couldn’t afford to do right now, “We are very sorry ma. We admit that we have done something awful and it won’t repeat itself again.” The second maid mirrored her colleague’s action, but not for the fear of being sacked, it was out of fear of what could befall her for pissing off one of the White’s family members. The consequences were so dire that it made her shudder inwardly. “We are very sorry ma,” she added. Kira studied both of them for quite a while with one thing on her mind —- How the hell was s

Carefully arranging his clothes into the bag he had brought with him, Alaric thought back to the answer that he had given to Kira the previous day when she had come to him for answers concerning his beast. It was only normal that she asked for answers after what she had seen. His own words replayed in his head, “To be honest, I have no idea what she is. All I know is that she is far stronger than she appears. If she were to go into a battle against your Chimera at this stage, I am pretty sure that your beast will lose, even if it is two on one, your beast and that of Tristan compared to mine.” He let out a sigh and stepped out of the room with Elena closely behind him. He stood in the hallway, a little lost on where to go to find Kira. The sound of footsteps approaching from the left drew his gaze. He snapped his head to face the source gently. “Good day,” he gently called the moment the gentleman reached where he was. The security guard who was patrolling the hallway before mo
