Mordax Rex started feeling heat rising all over his body. His chest heaved. His eyes shifted nervously as sweat beaded down his forehead. His once confident smirk had vanished and been replaced by a pale, twitching face. But even with the rising tension in the judgment hall, he summoned the courage to speak.

“It’s all lies,” he said with a shaking voice. “This evidence doesn't prove I did anything. Anyone could’ve planted these things to frame me. They don’t depict me as the murderer.”

For a second, silence fell. The council members glanced at each other, unsure of what to make of his plea. Councilor Locke stared at him with a frown.

Then… the system chimed loudly in Kai’s mind.

‘System initializing...Broadcast starts…’

Without any further warning, the academy’s entire internal broadcast network lit up. Hidden speakers in the judgment hall crackled to life. Then came the damning sound - it was Mordax Rex’s voice which was crisp and unmistakable.

“So? I did it and there’s nothing anyo

  • Chapter 77: Judgment Day at Ironsphire

    The morning light filtered lazily through the dormitory windows, but the peace and quietness shattered as three enforcers stormed into the room with their boots pressing the ground like war drums on the stone floor.“Kai Draven!” one of them barked. “Step out immediately!” His face was fierce. The students' heads within the dormitory turned and whispers rose.Kai emerged from his bunk slowly. His shirt was still half-buttoned with his eyes as sharp as that of the eagle. He stepped forward with a calmness that unsettled even the other students.Without warning, smack! A powerful slap landed across Kai’s face, jerking his head sideways. The dormitory gasped.Kai touched his stinging cheek and glared. “Why would you strike me?” His voice was icy cold. “You nutjob!” the enforcer snapped with his eyes blazing. “How dare you sneak into the elite quarters, beat them senseless, and hang them up like prey? Are you out of your mind?” His voice was brutal. Kai’s chest heaved, not from fear,

  • Chapter 76: The Brewing Storm

    The system buzzed within Kai's mind, its tone was deeper and more urgent than usual.“Warning: A coup is forming against you.”Kai's steps halted as the message seared through his consciousness. He stood frozen in the hallway. The shadows of objects danced over his face from the dim lanterns of Ironsphire Academy. His heart thudded.And the system continued, “This coup will lead to something very big. You must not defend yourself when summoned to the council court.”"What?" Kai whispered, his voice nearly cracking. His face shrank. "You want me to stay quiet? Not defend myself?"“Affirmative. Do nothing.” The system’s reply was sharp. His brows furrowed. “And what would become of me?” He muttered. The system responded almost solemnly, “You will become stronger. You will become powerful beyond your comprehension.”Kai clenched his jaw, still unsure that the system might be telling the truth. “Then… What is my fate?” He asked with a deep breath. “Your fate is already sealed. Trust th

  • Chapter 75: The Night of Reckoning

    Under the silver glow of the moon, the air within Ironsphire Academy vibrated with a heavy stillness. Shadows danced across the empty courtyards, and only two figures stood at the heart of the eastern plane. Kai Draven and Kilmanjoo, the infamous Dark Assassin.They stared each other down. The silence between them screaming louder than any battle cry.Kilmanjoo moved first. With blinding speed, he vanished into the dark and reappeared behind Kai. He slashed at his back with the crescent arc of his blade. Kai pivoted fast, narrowly blocking the strike. The force sent a shock down his arm.“You’re quick,” Kai muttered.“You’re slow,” Kilmanjoo sneered, launching another flurry of blows. His blade shimmered like death itself. He slashed again, once, twice, thrice with each time leaving small, and sharp gashes on Kai’s arm, side, and leg. Blood dripped as Kai staggered backward.But he didn’t fall. Kilmanjoo charged once more, this time aiming for Kai’s neck with a ruthless overhead swin

  • Chapter 74: A Night of Shadows and Secrets

    Morning broke over Ironsphire Academy with an unusual stir in the air. The sun had barely climbed over the horizon and yet the central academic grounds was filled with whispers and shocking exclamations.Students gathered in small clusters with their eyes wide and mouths agape as they stared at the second elite student, Dervan bound to the same tree where Kai had once been humiliated. The markings on his body that was written in bold black ink confirmed everyone’s suspicion.Kai had struck again!But unlike before, no one rushed to report to Councilor Locke. Instead, the prevailing sentiment among the students was the same,“He met his doom.” one of the students said. “That served him right.” Another raised his brows in delight. A few even chuckled quietly, as though karma had personally come to collect.Kai walked amongst them, blending with the crowd. But when Dervan caught sight of him, his blood boiled. With clenched teeth and eyes burning with rage, he shouted from the tree, “Y
