"Where do you think you're going?" Jason asked coldly while holding two heads in his hands.
A galloping sound of a horse resounded from the side as a centaur came while swinging his blade swiftly, slicing the two humans that were trying to escape from Jason. On the left side of the entrance, a group of guards came to reinforce. "Kill those who resist. Apprehend the rest!" A guard shouted as he had his werewolf pinning down a terrorist on the ground. The other guards followed the instruction and worked together to take the enemies down. On the other side, giant roots emerged from the ground and captured three of the terrorists. The one controlling them was an elderly druid. "It seems they are fine, Mistress." He glanced at Wyndia, who was staring at the academy's entrance from the roof. "Yeah." Wyndia closed her eyes. "It seems that he is more extraordinary than I originally thought." "You look so happy, Mistress. I suppose I should say congratulations…" Wyndia responded with a smile. … "Haaa…" Rhys let out a long sigh, his face turning pale. Even though he had expected this kind of outcome, the foul blood smell and the horrendous state of the corpse made him want to vomit. "Are you alright, Rhys?" Riva immediately checked on him after seeing there were no more threats around. Even the ones she didn't have time to kill had already moved further in. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you sure you don't need to chase them?" "Your safety is my current priority. The threat here has been neutralized, so I assume that the rest will be taken down by the school's personnel." "I see." Rhys fell on his butt with a tired expression. Once he knew they were safe, all adrManaline left his body. "Who are they?" "I'm assuming Chaotic Cat Terrorists. They are terrorists who are kidnapping people who have just become summoners to brainwash and train them as their own. Because it's still a holiday, they must try to take advantage of the situation to kidnap the new students. It never happens whenever the principal is in the school. It seems that they know that the principal is away and attack us." "I see. Why would humans attack each other when they have common enemies?" Rhys let out a long sigh. Riva couldn't answer that question. Instead, she turned to Maeve and the vampire. "Miss Maeve and her familiar, I'd like to express my gratitude for helping me earlier." "No. I didn't do anything." Maeve shook her head. She glanced at Rhys. Never in her wildest dream would she imagine that a farmer, who was said to have worse talent than even the worst student, would be the one saving her. Even the vampire thought the same. If not for Rhys's instruction, they wouldn't achieve such a swift battle. "What are we supposed to do now? Should we stay here until it's safe?" Rhys asked. "That's probably for the best." Riva agreed. "If you don't mind, please come with me." Rhys nodded as he dragged his body up. He wished to lay down on his bed to get some rest. He simply had experienced so much before he could have a peaceful time to sort of his thoughts after this transmigration. Riva guided them along with the other two girls to the school building, which was the safe place. After that, she politely bowed to them before leading Rhys to the empty cafeteria. While walking, she couldn't help but say, "Good work." "I was simply desperate." Rhys shook his head helplessly. He didn't have time to prepare for his first battle, so the aftermath was quite a surprise even for him. "No. I mean, good work for holding out." Riva brought him a cup of water. "It's fine now if you want to let it out." "Ah!" Rhys was embarrassed. "I'm fine now." "Fufu." Riva smiled gently, assuring him that it was fine. After confirming that Rhys felt relaxed, she turned to Gaelion. "You are a powerful wolf. How come you only have basic quality?" "Isn't it because he is too weak?" Gaelion harrumphed, blaming Rhys for everything that happened. "What did you say?" Rhys glared at him. If his talent was to summon a divine being, it meant that he could summon a goddess instead of getting stuck with a furry. "You are blaming everything on me when you're the one who is unreliable?" "Say what? You wouldn't be here if I didn't protect you earlier!" "Everything went according to my plan! And you merely followed it!" "Give me back the rational human, not this annoying one!" Gaelion jumped to Rhys. "Aaaahhh. This is human abuse!" "Fufu." Riva couldn't help but chuckle watching their quarrel. Even though Gaelion was strong and intelligent, he still trusted his contractor and followed his plan. At the same time, Rhys might not be strong, but he was bold and smart enough to solve the problem. They looked so perfect as a duo in her eyes. "I'm sure that you both will get stronger." Riva smiled. If she was just trying to be nice and cheer for him earlier, she definitely said it from the bottom of her heart this time. Their performances convinced her that they would reach a high level. "It seems that you are more capable than I thought, my dear student." Wyndia's voice suddenly echoed. Rhys was startled while Riva bowed to her. "Mistress." "I was simply desperate." Rhys smiled wryly. "Not many students could remain calm in your situation. Yet, you managed to view everything carefully and give instructions to solve the problem." Wyndia summoned the old druid and said, "You should go back. He will accompany you guys." There was a pair of red eyes staring at them from the corner of the hallway. She was none other than Maeve. Her curiosity got the better of her as she chose to follow them, never thinking that she would be finding such a sight. 'Isn't that the vice principal? The one who is known as the Forest Queen? What did she say earlier? Dear student? Is he the student of the Forest Queen? But how? If it's not his talent, does this mean he is smart enough that the Forest Queen takes him as her student?’Latest Chapter

“So this man is the Dragon King.” Rhys kept that thought in his head while trying to steady his breathing. The pressure coming from the man in front of him felt instinctive, like standing too close to a predator that had already decided whether you were worth ignoring or crushing. Still, Rhys forced himself to relax his shoulders, then gave a proper bow.“It’s an honor to meet you, sir Dragon King. I’m Rhys, disciple of the Forest Queen Wyndia.”He reached into his pocket and handed over the letter of recommendation. “This is the principal’s letter.”The Dragon King took it, a faint smile forming as he looked at Rhys. Even though Rhys’s hands were clearly unsteady, he had managed to pull himself back together quickly.Maeve, standing beside him, followed his lead after a short pause.The Dragon King tilted his head slightly. “Since you’re here, I assume you’ve agreed to my conditions?”“About that…” Rhys scratched the back of his head.The Dragon King’s eyes narrowed just a little, hi

“This is Fern City,” Maeve muttered while her gaze moved across the surroundings, trying to take everything in at once. The place felt unlike any city she had seen before.It was a strange blend of civilization and living nature. Massive trees rose high into the sky, and at different heights, houses were built directly into their trunks and branches. Wooden bridges and rope ladders connected everything together, forming a network between the treetops. On the ground level, between the roots of those enormous trees, stood sturdier brick buildings and stone structures.Most of the buildings were simple box-like shapes, but that simplicity allowed people from many different races to live there without issue.A man with cat ears ran across one of the wooden bridges. A group of harpies relaxed on thick branches overhead, chatting casually. Humans and other races stood together along the streets, some talking, others drinking as if they had known each other for years.“This is a place where

Just as Wyndia had predicted, news about Rhys spread quickly. It didn’t stay within the academy for long. Nobles began talking, then entire regions, and soon even other kingdoms had heard his name.Among all of them, the one who reacted the most was the king of the Virelith Kingdom, Julian Roderick.After more than forty years on the throne, Julian carried himself with the calm presence of a ruler who had seen everything. He sat alone in the quiet hall, his crown resting steadily on his head, a faint smile forming on his lips as he spoke."Did you hear that, Cage? Your daughter lost to a freshman."Standing nearby was Cage Harold, vice captain of the royal guard and one of the finest swordsmen in the kingdom. Despite his position, his appearance remained gentle, almost unassuming. His hand rested lightly on the hilt of his sword as he bowed his head slightly."My apologies, Your Majesty. My daughter has disappointed you."Even so, his posture didn’t change much. His hand never left hi

“So you felt that much pain…” Wyndia nodded slowly, as if the result matched something she had already expected. She looked at him for a moment before asking, “How long did it take before you passed out?”“I didn’t,” Rhys replied, shaking his head. “I stayed conscious the whole time.”Inside, he couldn’t help but think about all those cultivation stories he had read. In those, losing consciousness usually meant failure, sometimes even death. That idea had stuck with him, so he forced himself to endure everything without letting go, no matter how bad it got.Wyndia’s reaction caught him off guard. She actually looked surprised. “You didn’t pass out?”“Yeah. Is that a problem?” Rhys frowned slightly.Instead of answering right away, Wyndia walked over to the blackboard and picked up a diagram of the human body. She tapped the illustration near the mouth with her pointer.“When you swallow a core, it dissolves and turns into Mana,” she began. “That Mana flows into your body. As you alrea

“Aaaahhhh!” The scream tore out of Rhys before he could even think to hold it back. He had braced himself for discomfort. When he absorbed a Common class core before, the sensation had been unpleasant, sharp enough to make him grit his teeth, but still manageable. This time, he expected something worse along the same line. What he got instead was pain so intense it didn’t even feel real. His eyes rolled upward until only the whites showed, his body jerking as it arched off the bed. A moment later, he collapsed back down and began thrashing, his hands clawing at his chest. The pain centered there, tight and suffocating, as if the core had lodged itself in his throat and refused to move. It wasn’t a normal kind of pain. He had been stabbed before and endured it. That had been brutal, but this was different. This felt like something was tearing him apart from the inside, piece by piece. The scream that came out of him now was raw and uncontrolled, louder than anything he had let out
Chapter 107
“I got you!” The words came out through clenched teeth, almost like a dare thrown at death itself. For a split second, Anubis and Gaelion could only stare, both of them realizing just how far Rhys had gone with this plan. It wasn’t just risky anymore. It crossed into something reckless, something that could have easily gotten him killed if even a single step went wrong. The alien reacted immediately, trying to jerk its blade free. It twisted and forced the weapon up and down, then tried to pull it back altogether, but Rhys held on with everything he had. His hands refused to loosen their grip, even as the strain tore through his body. Seeing that it couldn’t free the blade, the alien made a quick decision. Its other arm shifted, forming a second blade meant to finish Rhys off in one clean strike. Before it could act, Gaelion lunged forward without hesitation and clamped his jaws down on that arm. The alien hadn’t expected that kind of interference. Gaelion tore into it with brutal
