The words hit like a spark in dry grass.Bron stepped forward immediately.“You—!”But Derek raised a hand, stopping him again.The silence that followed was heavy and dangerousDerek stared at Miles quietly.“…Are you trying to challenge me?”His voice was calm.Too calm.Miles blinked, then leaned back in his chair. “Challenge you?” he repeated, feigning ignorance. “No. I’m not planning anything like that.”He shrugged slightly.“I just got out of suspension. The last thing I want is another incident.” His gaze flicked toward Derek meaningfully. “I wouldn’t want to accidentally harm the school’s golden boy… especially one protected by nepotism.”The words landed like a bomb.Several students inhaled sharply. Bron’s face turned red with anger.Owen looked ready to explode.Even Derek’s calm expression stiffened slightly.Miles, however, remained relaxed as he was completely unbothered by their reaction.His message was clear.He wasn’t afraid.Not anymore.And for the first time— Som

Miles didn’t move and didn’t even flinch. The silence in the classroom became suffocating.The fat boy clenched his fist, clearly about to grab Miles by the collar—“Bron.”A calm voice echoed.The fat boy froze. He glared at Miles irritably and clicked his tongue irritably but stepped back.A boy with ash-blonde hair stepped forward from behind the group. His posture was relaxed, his expression composed, but the moment he appeared, the tension in the room deepened.Students straightened unconsciously.Some even avoided looking directly at him.He raised his hand slightly. “Back down. Stay cool.” he saidBron exhaled sharply but obeyed, retreating to the side.The ash-blonde boy then turned toward one of the others.“Bring me a chair.” he ordered “Yes, Derek.”One of the lackeys hurried away and dragged another chair forward, placing it directly in front of Miles’ desk. The ash-blonde boy sat down casually, crossing one leg over the other.He leaned forward slightly and locked his ga

As Miles walked, his phone suddenly buzzed in his pocket.Miles pulled it out.A notification flashed across the screen.Reminder: School Resumes TomorrowMiles stopped walking.“…Oh.”He stared at the screen for a moment before letting out a quiet sigh.He had been so focused on hunting, earning money, and getting stronger that he had completely lost track of time. His two-week suspension had passed without him even noticing.Thankfully, he had set a reminder beforehand—just in case.Otherwise, he might have missed the first day back entirely.Miles slipped the phone back into his pocket.School.It felt strangely distant now.Just two weeks ago, he had left those halls as a powerless student—someone looked down upon, someone who kept his head low, someone who avoided confrontation because he had no strength to back it up.Now…Everything had changed.The next morning arrived quickly.Miles stood in front of the towering school gates, staring quietly at the familiar sight.It had on

Miles’ eyes remained steady.“I’m doing fine on my own.”The silence between them stretched briefly.James exhaled softly, then smiled again.Well… I can’t say I didn’t expect some resistance. Still, I must admit, I’m impressed. Most hunters would have signed without even reading the second page.”Miles shrugged slightly.“I’m not hunting for comfort.”He thought briefly of Mia.Every decision he made revolved around her.Freedom mattered more than security right now.Speed mattered more than stability.He couldn’t afford delays.He couldn’t afford being assigned to guild missions that didn’t align with his goals.“You’re serious?” James asked, shaking his head slightly. “You might be too young to fully understand what you’re turning down.”Miles didn’t respond.James leaned forward, his tone becoming more persuasive.“Mr. Reed… may I offer you a piece of advice.”Miles looked up.“Solo hunters who grow too quickly tend to attract attention. Not all of it is friendly.”Miles’ express

After a moment, Miles nodded.“…Alright.”James smiled.“This way, please.”The two of them walked side by side down the street. A few minutes later, they arrived at a quiet café not far from the trade center. The late afternoon sun filtered softly through the glass windows, and the atmosphere inside was calm.They took seats across from each other.James folded his hands neatly on the table.Miles leaned back slightly, watching him carefully.Whatever this proposal was…It was clear his quiet solo hunts had finally drawn serious attention.James Kerr leaned back slightly in his chair, maintaining a polite smile as he began the conversation.“I must say, Mr. Reed… you’ve become quite popular among the hunters who frequent the Outlands recently. Many of them have started referring to you as—”“The Hoarder,” Miles finished calmly.James chuckled softly. “Yes. That’s the nickname going around. It’s not often someone attracts that kind of attention in such a short time. Especially a solo
Chapter 50
For the next several weeks, Miles maintained a routine that quickly became second nature to him. Every morning, he would leave early, ensuring Mia was either asleep or distracted, careful not to reveal where he was truly going. To her, he was simply taking on small hunter-related jobs, nothing too dangerous—just enough to earn money gradually. She never suspected that her quiet, reserved brother was venturing deep into the Outlands alone day after day, fighting demonic beasts and pushing himself to the brink.Each trip followed a similar pattern. Miles would cross the border gate with minimal conversation, sprint across the familiar terrain, and hunt relentlessly until the sun began its descent. Goblins, kobloids, horned wolves, spiked lizards—anything that crossed his path became prey. His movements grew sharper with every hunt, his reaction speed faster, his control over his abilities more refined. The hell flames he once used cautiously now flowed more naturally, burning hotter and
