Chapter 110
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

“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

“Maeve? You were waiting for me? Hold on…” Rhys paused and glanced back toward the office, something clicking in his mind. “Since when did you know?”“From the beginning,” Maeve replied calmly. “I saw you meet her in the cafeteria after the terrorist incident.”“Just happened to see it?” Rhys narrowed his eyes. That did not quite add up. They had split up back then, and Riva alone would not have been enough to link him to Wyndia. The timing felt a little too perfect to be pure coincidence.Maeve stayed quiet for a moment, then looked away. “I was curious.”Rhys let out a laugh. “Haha.”Maeve frowned slightly. “Why are you laughing?”“Nothing,” he said, still smiling. “It’s just that your face and the way you talk don’t match at all. It makes you… kind of cute.”Her body stiffened almost immediately. She did not blush, but the reaction was there in the slight tension in her shoulders and the way her gaze hardened. “There is nothing cute about someone who can’t express herself.”Rhys sh

“To think he managed all that during a single mission. Are you sure you didn’t step in to help him?” Grace narrowed her eyes slightly, studying Skylar’s expression.“No,” Skylar replied calmly. “If anything, he carried most of it. I only dealt with the Elite class Abyssal at the end. If he hadn’t handled that Common class mutant, things could have gone a lot worse.” She gave a small shrug, as if it were obvious.“I see.” Grace’s lips curved into a faint smile. “So he’s not just capable in combat. He also has the temperament of someone who can lead.”Skylar frowned. “What are you thinking?”Grace waved the question away lightly. “Nothing immediate. I just have a clearer picture of who he is now. For the time being, I’ll observe him. When he runs into a problem he can’t solve on his own, he’ll eventually come to the student council. Especially with Wyndia guiding him the way she does. She calls it independence, but it’s really just tough love dressed up nicely.”Skylar considered that f
