Karl, however, kept looking at Liam with open hostility. Liam, however, didn't meet his gaze. Instead, he looked up at the man floating in the sky.The old man was flying.Back in the town Liam came from, nobody had ever achieved flight.The elderly man stood high above the thousands of freshmen, his hands clasped behind his back. Although he looked to be in his seventies, the pressure radiating from him made even the proudest nobles lower their heads.His gaze swept across the crowd before a faint smile appeared on his face."My name is Alaric Blackthorn, and I have had the honor of serving as the Principal of Blackthorn Academy for the past forty-two years."His calm voice echoed throughout the academy without the aid of any spell, reaching every corner of the enormous campus."Congratulations.""You are no longer children. From this day onward, you are students of Blackthorn Academy."The moment he finished speaking, excitement erupted across the plaza. Cheers, whispers, and conver

For a moment, Liam simply stared at the mirror, his eyes fixed on the last name.Liam Carter.The smile on his face slowly faded."There has to be another Liam Carter..."He looked around the plaza, scanning the sea of students, hoping to find someone else.But the surface of the Mirror of Destiny rippled once more.A portrait gradually formed beneath each name.Then, beneath the last one...A familiar face appeared.Messy black hair, round glasses, an ordinary face…..There couldn't have been a clearer picture of him.It was him.Liam's mouth slowly fell open."...This is absolutely ridiculous," he muttered.The silence lasted only a heartbeat and then the entire plaza exploded into chaos."What?!""A human?""Room 1313?!""This should be impossible!""Wait... wasn't that the human who challenged Princess Lily and Prince Karl this morning?""I knew that guy was crazy!""Forget crazy, he's dead!""I'd rather drop out than live in that room."Thousands of voices overlapped as disbelief

The journey to the dormitories began in complete silence.Professor Eleanor walked at the front with measured steps while Liam, Lily, Karl, and Lucas followed behind.Surprisingly, none of them spoke.Even Karl, who had wanted to tear Liam apart moments ago, remained quiet. The academy itself was enough to steal everyone's attention.Wide stone roads stretched endlessly beneath their feet, lined with towering silver trees whose glowing leaves drifted through the air like tiny stars. Students from every race wandered across the grounds while enormous winged beasts soared between floating islands suspended high above the academy.In the distance, waterfalls poured from the sky before disappearing into rivers that flowed throughout the campus."This place is bigger than I imagined," Liam sighed in amazement.Professor Eleanor smiled without turning around."It should be. This isn't simply a school.""It's an independent nation."Her words caused all four of them to look toward her."Blac

Liam froze.Just like that?The assessment had already begun."An abandoned space planet..." Liam muttered.He had read about places like this back in his hometown.His gaze shifted toward Karl and Lily.Without saying a word, Lily turned around and walked away.Karl didn't waste a second either and soon disappeared into the distance.Lucas, on the other hand, simply sighed before walking toward a massive boulder beneath a nearby tree.He clenched his fist and punched at it.Boom!The boulder shattered into countless pieces with a single punch.Liam immediately felt cold sweat trickle down his back.That...That was Silver-level strength.After countless improvements had been cultivated during the early years, the ancestors of the Six Races established a universal cultivation system consisting of ten major ranks:Bronze, silver ….God stage.At the age of fifteen, every member of the Six Races awakened a racial core that represented their bloodline. These cores absorbed mana from the s

Liam instinctively raised his dagger. He knew it wouldn't be enough, but it was all he had.But suddenly, everything changed and silence swallowed the battlefield.The monster was still moving, yet from Liam's perspective, it had suddenly become unbelievably slow."...What?" Liam's pupils contracted in confusion.At that exact moment, a cold mechanical voice echoed inside his mind."Insight" Activated.An invisible ripple spread from his body and his vision sharpened.Every detail of the monster became frighteningly clear.He saw its chest expand as it inhaled.He saw every muscle tighten beneath its black scales.He saw the subtle shift in its center of gravity before each movement.Even the mana flowing through its body appeared before him like glowing crimson rivers.It no longer felt as though the creature was charging.It felt as though it was being dissected before his eyes, with countless streams of information flooding into his mind.---Target AnalysisSpecies: Mana Construct
