Threat
CHAPTER 55The moment Adrian’s words settled into the hall—I accept the challenge—the silence that followed was not awe, but disbelief.Varric Ventress stared at him as if he had just heard a joke too absurd to process.Then he laughed.Not loudly. Not mockingly.But slowly—deep and dangerous.“You?” Varric said, shaking his head. “Face all seven?”He took a step forward, his presence immediately suffocating the nearby elders. “Boy, do you even understand what you just agreed to?”Adrian didn’t respond immediately. His calmness only deepened the irritation burning in Varric’s chest.Varric lifted a hand, silencing the murmurs that were beginning to swell.“The people I’m talking about,” he said coldly, “are not doctors who hide behind city walls. They are not bureaucrats. They are not politicians dressed as healers.”His eyes sharpened.“They are explorers. Pioneers. Monsters.”The hall stirred uneasily.“They crossed borders long before most of you were born,” Varric continued. “They

CHAPTER 54The hall remained suspended in a fragile silence.Adrian stood at the center, calm yet thoughtful, as dozens of eyes watched him with anticipation bordering on reverence. The plea for him to become President-General still lingered in the air, heavy and unresolved. Elders knelt. Vice Presidents bowed. Catherine stood among them, her gaze never leaving his back.Adrian was not ignorant of their expectations.He simply hadn’t decided.Titles meant little to him—but he also understood what refusing might mean. Power vacuums were dangerous. And the Medical City, having just purged a monster like Aldric Arvan, stood at a crossroads.Just as Adrian parted his lips to speak—The doors to the grand hall exploded open.BANG.A thunderous echo rolled across the chamber as a line of armored guards stormed in, boots striking the marble in perfect rhythm. Their presence alone carried authority—sharp, disciplined, and merciless. Each wore insignia that made even elders stiffen instinctive
Be our President
CHAPTER 53The hall was still buzzing with the aftershocks of Dr. Aldric Arvan’s death. The oppressive pressure he had once commanded had vanished completely, swallowed by the overwhelming force Adrian had unleashed. It was as though the very air had been freed from chains. People inhaled deeply, their breaths shaking, minds struggling to comprehend what they had just witnessed.President Alistair Renford was still kneeling on the ground. His limbs trembled uncontrollably. Every breath he took quivered with disbelief, with awe, with a fear he could not hide no matter how hard he tried. The man who had been the pillar of Medical City, the iron-blooded President known for his pride, raised his head slowly… and stared at Adrian with eyes filled with a complicated mixture of humiliation and reverence.His lips trembled.“Y-Your mental force…” he whispered, voice unsteady as though his throat itself was shaking. “Is it… Level-4?”He swallowed hard. His next words barely made it out.“Or… i
Exposed
CHAPTER 52Dr. Aldric Arvan lay collapsed on the polished marble floor, his breath shallow, his mental force shattered beyond repair. The once-dominant Level-3 doctor now resembled nothing more than a broken vessel—spine bent, aura dissipated, eyes flickering with dread and disbelief.Adrian approached him with slow, measured steps, each tap of his heel echoing through the silent hall. Every onlooker watched with bated breath. The boy who wasn’t even “Level-2” had not only resisted a Level-3—he had destroyed him.But Adrian wasn’t done.He crouched beside the fallen doctor, eyes narrowing. The dark energy residue still lingered on Arvan’s aura, faint but unmistakable. And something else—fear. Not fear of Adrian… but fear of something behind him.Adrian’s voice cut through the stillness, calm yet chilled with purpose.“Before you die uselessly,” he said, “you’re going to answer something.”Dr. Arvan trembled. “W-what…?”Adrian leaned closer, his shadow falling across the man’s face.“W
Extraordinary
CHAPTER 51Adrian stood before Dr. Aldric Arvan, his presence calm, unshakable, yet radiating an invisible force that pressed against the air itself. The man he faced had already crushed presidents, shattered Level-2 masters, and stood here with a near-black aura that could suffocate the unprepared. But Adrian wasn’t afraid. Not in the slightest.Dr. Arvan burst out laughing, a cold, echoing sound that reverberated through the hall. “So, this is the boy,” he said, voice dripping with amusement and contempt. “You’ve walked right into my hands. Perfect. I can settle all my grudges at once.”His laughter boomed like a drum of malice, drawing every eye. Even seasoned elders instinctively flinched. Yet Adrian’s expression remained unreadable. He merely tilted his head slightly, assessing, calculating.Before Dr. Arvan could finish speaking, Adrian’s hand twitched imperceptibly. Just a single ripple of mental force—subtle, almost casual. But in that moment, the invisible storm stirred.BOOM
Who dares?
CHAPTER 50 A faint, almost imperceptible trace of dark energy seeped out from Dr. Aldric Arvan’s overwhelming aura. The color was deep, unnatural, and instantly familiar to Adrian.His eyes narrowed. That energy… it was the same as the poison that had nearly killed his grandfather, Mr. Morritis. The realization struck him like a bolt of lightning. All his previous reluctance, all thoughts of staying out of this power struggle—vanished in an instant.Adrian’s hand clenched slightly. He had to act.The hall had not yet fully recovered from Dr. Arvan’s crushing defeat of President Renford and the other Level-2 doctors. The air still vibrated with residual pressure. Every soul in the room froze, eyes wide, unable to breathe freely. Not a single person dared approach.Adrian inhaled quietly, then stepped forward.He paused at the edge of the crowd, letting all eyes fall upon him. Calm, deliberate, confident. He raised his voice, low but steady, cutting through the oppressive silence:“I w
