CHAPTER 106
Once Theon was done eating, he followed the wooden identification card he had been given to locate his temporary room.According to the engraved directions, it was situated inside the dormitory reserved for students serving under the Guard Guild.There had always been rumors floating around the academy that once students officially joined the Security Bureau, many willingly gave up their accommodations in Amethyst Court or Silver Court just to move into the guard guild dormitories. The living conditions here were far superior, the resources more abundant, and the treatment noticeably better.Theon let out a quiet scoff.Solvyn was truly dedicated to making his security dogs loyal.The man understood human nature frighteningly well. Feed them well enough, reward them generously, and the moment he barked, bite, they would leap without hesitation to sink their fangs into whoever he pointed at.Who wouldn't remain obedient under a master who wielded the carrot-and-stick method with such t
CHAPTER 105
Theon ignored the probing gazes that seemed determined to drill straight through his skin. It was as though they wanted to peel away every layer of flesh, strip him down to the marrow, and discover what he was truly made of.Without sparing them another glance, he made his way toward the refectory.There were many things he could afford to ignore, but hunger certainly wasn't one of them.By the time he stepped inside, most of the room's occupants had already finished eating and drifted away. It was well into midmorning now, and the once bustling dining hall had quieted considerably. The lingering aroma of freshly cooked food still hung pleasantly in the air, mixing with the faint chatter of a few late diners scattered across the spacious hall.Theon stopped before the serving counter and flashed the two girls standing behind it a bright, effortlessly charming smile.One of them immediately hissed beneath her breath and shifted several steps away as though avoiding a contagious disease
CHAPTER 104
Mark arrived first, sword outstretched, multiple sword shadows overlapping one another as they surged toward Theon like a rolling tide. He truly was experienced and had the skill to back up his arrogance. Every movement was crisp, controlled, and backed by countless hours of training. Theon merely twirled the wooden stick in a smooth arc. The seemingly ordinary motion carried an indescribable rhythm. One by one, the sword shadows were knocked apart before they could even reach him, collapsing like illusions struck by a violent gale. With an elegant stab, he intercepted the real sword, halting its advance as though stopping nothing more than a falling leaf. Then, with the lightest of pushes, he redirected its momentum. Mark's eyes narrowed. His wrist bent instantly, attempting to change the sword's trajectory before the opening could widen. Almost at the same moment, Wilson appeared behind Theon like a phantom. His saber flashed. Filled with deliberate viciousness, it slashed

SECURITY BUREAU. GUARD TRAINING ARENA, DIVISION ONE, ROOM TWO.Theon placed his thumbprint on the waiver and passed it to Mark.Mark also placed his thumbprint on the document before sliding it further down the line. Soon, all five of them had left their thumbprints on the papers. The completed waiver was then handed over to one of the senior guards present, who would be acting as the referee for the spar.More than thirty people had already gathered to watch.Embarrassing news travelled fast and always had a way of attracting the greatest amount of attention. Word of a public challenge involving the academy's infamous pariah had spread through the Security Bureau like wildfire, drawing curious spectators from every direction.Everyone was more than eager to see the school pariah beaten down. This was also a perfect opportunity to debunk the absurd rumors of him beating level twelve monsters and coming back alive.Even the academy's Archmages didn't dare casually enter a level twelve
CHAPTER 102
The guards exchanged uneasy glances after Theon spoke. His confidence felt excessive, unnaturally so. And wrong. It carried the unsettling certainty of someone who already knew how everything would end.Theon sneered. “What? Don't dare to take the bet?”The guards looked at one another again, apprehension and doubt quietly seeping into their expressions.Theon let out an exaggerated sigh, shaking his head. “Since you're so scared…”“Who's scared of you?” Caden snapped, his eyes blazing with fury and wounded pride. Theon lowered his gaze for a fleeting second, hiding the secret smile threatening to curve his lips.Very well then. They should remember this lesson very well.Caden turned toward the other teammates. “He's just trash who couldn't level up to the next class even after all these years.”His fingers curled into fists with an audible crack, his eyes burning brighter with every word. “Since he's eager for a lesson, we should do him the honors.”Caden's words steadied the wave
CHAPTER 101
Theon continued watching them in silence. Not another word left his lips. The stillness only made the atmosphere feel heavier. “Even if your parents are martyrs,” Xander finally cut in, his voice calmer than the others, “that still doesn't give you the right to bully people.” He folded his arms, holding Theon's gaze without retreating. “It's an undeniable fact that you slapped Caden first. Even if he insulted the Saintess...” “Slap?” Theon gave a quiet scoff, almost amused. “I was only helping him kill a fly.” His smile vanished as quickly as it had appeared. The warmth drained from his face, leaving behind eyes as cold as winter steel. “The fact that he's still standing here instead of being dragged before the disciplinary panel is already an act of tremendous mercy on my part.” His gaze slowly swept across the four of them. “And yet, you still have the audacity to stand here yabbing at me.” Mark's nostrils flared. His fingers curled so tightly they produced faint cracki
