The Firebird Queen seemed to think of something right then, and she turned to the sky, staring into the distance.“Regardless, I’m sure my baby will definitely be able to meet whatever your expectations are when it grows up. As long as you agree to take care of it, I’m sure they will be of great help to you in the future.”After saying that, the Firebird Queen looked at me with pleading eyes as if I were her last hope. I had to sigh in admiration at how selfless she was as a mother. Even in her last moments, she was more concerned about making sure that her child would be in safe hands than caring about her own condition. If I had not made it here today and if she had passed away, then this egg could have ended up with the same fate as the one from before, becoming food for another hunter.“I’ll do it,” I agreed without the need for much thought. I could not bear to see the same tragedy happen again.After receiving a nod

Without realizing it, Alyshah and I had already been on the road for more than half a month. When we made it past another mountain forest, we could vaguely see the outlines of a city in the distance.“That’s Blue Skies City,” announced Alyshah with a proud tone in her voice as she pointed to it. She was eager to return to her home as soon as possible. It was obvious her strength did not lessen her appreciation for the place where she was born.“Blue Skies… This is the city our academy is named after.”Alyshah led me through the streets of Blue Skies, introducing me to various historical sites as well as the special customs here in the city. It turned out that Blue Skies used to be the capital city of the empire, but that was hundreds of years ago in the past.Even though Blue Skies did not look as magnificent and prosperous as Rowe, the tall buildings and shops all around the city were still a sight to behold. This city was kn

By this point in time, Porter was practically begging me, and I too knew the consequences if I completed my Earthquake spell. Naturally, I would be fine given how strong my defenses were, but they were all weak mages and we were inside of a classroom. They would be buried alive if the building collapsed.Since they were willing to voluntarily admit defeat, I could not be bothered to waste my strength. In the first place, I had not planned to push them so far either. I just wanted to scare them with the fact that I was an Adept Magician, that was all. However, I was also confident that I could control my strength well enough that I could merely counter anything they could throw my way, which would be enough to send them a message.After I canceled my spell, the room became eerily silent for a moment and after a while, Porter ended up being the one who broke the silence.“I underestimated you. I never thought that you would already be an Adept Magician despite you

At the old man’s order, everyone looked through all of the files again. After a long time, everyone hung their heads while facing the old man. None of them were able to find anything.The old man wanted to urge everyone to search again, but that was when the man who broke the door open earlier discovered something in a corner of the archive.He bent over and picked it up, then with a sigh, he brought it to the old man.“I don’t think we should keep looking. I’m afraid Alyshah has already taken the file with her.”As he said that, he handed over to the old man the keys that Alyshah had tossed into the corner. Accepting it, the old man knew that his hopes had been dashed. He shook his head helplessly and dismissed everyone.“I wouldn’t have thought twice about their suggestion, but they had offered to let bygones be bygones if we accepted. I never thought that Alyshah would actually find such a talented boy. If he coul

“Then what are we still waiting for? Let’s get it done quickly before we decide what to do next,” I urged Doris anxiously, but she had a troubled expression on her face. She looked at Alyshah with a nervous expression.Very quickly, I understood what she meant. If she helped me purge the effects of the drug using the Divine Stone, then her identity would be exposed. Alyshah was a smart and powerful human. I did not want an outcome where she might kill Doris upon discovering her identity.I frowned. I did not dare to make any guesses on how she would react if she found out about Doris, so I decided to probe her about it instead."Madam Alyshah, if, and I’m only saying if I have a way to get us out of this predicament, can you promise me one thing?"Alyshah's eyes lit up when she heard what I said. She looked at me hopefully and exclaimed, “Do you really have a plan? What is it? Jeremy may come back to kill us at any time so you should
