Chapter 227
With the practical examinations completed, the university finals officially came to an end.Now everyone could do nothing except wait.Two days later, the results would be announced, marking the final day of the semester and the official graduation ceremony.Students who had not yet reached Floor Twenty-One of the Tower would receive provisional degrees.Those certificates could later be upgraded into full degrees once they successfully reached the required floor.Students who had already conquered Floor Twenty-One and completed the mandatory Survival Training course would graduate immediately with full academic recognition.Had Rhys and his companions been selected to represent the university in the Inter-University Tournament, their preparations would have begun immediately after finals.Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, Liam had prevented that from happening before his death.Fearing the dangers that came with such a public competition, he had ensured neither Rhys nor Maeve wo

Compared to the written examinations, the practical finals were almost effortless for Rhys.By the time they began, his recent promotion to Tier 2 had already spread throughout the university. Every student knew exactly how large the gap between them had become, and very few were foolish enough to challenge him.The first few matches only reinforced that belief.The moment Swordsmanship Instructor Mae gave the signal to begin, Rhys ended each duel almost instantly.None of his opponents managed to last longer than four seconds.After witnessing those one-sided victories, the remaining students lost whatever courage they had left. Whenever Rhys’s name appeared in the tournament bracket, his opponent simply forfeited without stepping onto the arena.Eventually, even Instructor Mae decided there was no point continuing.She removed Rhys from the remaining evaluations and awarded him full Volts for the course.There was nothing left for him to prove.Throughout the academic year, he had m

Ironically, the professors had never formally taught the class how to defeat a Hydra.Hydras rarely appeared below the sixtieth floor of the Tower of Ascension, placing them well beyond the level most students would encounter.That didn’t stop the exam from asking.Rather than leaving the answer blank, Rhys combined everything he knew from theory with lessons learned during real battles.Instead of repeating information from textbooks, he proposed an original strategy designed specifically to limit the creature’s regeneration while gradually reducing its ability to recover.His answer contained practical considerations, battlefield positioning, and contingency plans if the initial strategy failed.By the time he finished writing, Rhys was confident that his paper reflected more than academic knowledge.It reflected experience.That alone would distinguish it from the majority of submissions built entirely upon memorized notes....The second written examination covered Power Dynamics
Chapter 224
The moment Rhys returned from the Tier 2 promotion test, he barely had time to catch his breath before another challenge demanded his full attention. The university final exams had arrived. Between preparing for the exams and dealing with everything else happening around him, he completely forgot about the new sword skill scrolls he had obtained. Even the recent update to his Strongest System slipped from his mind. None of it seemed important right now. His only priority was graduating at the top of his class. The longer Rhys studied at the University for Nourishment of Young Talents, the more he realized just how valuable its education truly was. Every lecture, every assignment, and every practical lesson had already saved his life more than once inside the Tower. The professors weren’t simply teaching theories. They were teaching students how to survive. That realization pushed Rhys to devote himself entirely to his studies. He absorbed every lesson as though it might
Chapter 223
Once Rhys returned to his room and confirmed that little Chun was fast asleep, the first thing on his mind was Kael and Maeve.He found Varyn organizing a stack of documents outside the dormitory and casually asked, “Have you seen Kael or Maeve?”The question had an immediate effect.Varyn’s relaxed expression disappeared, replaced by an awkward grimace. He scratched the side of his face, glanced away, then rubbed his hands together as though buying himself time.“Well… uh… about that…”Rhys’s brows slowly drew together.“What happened between Kael and Maeve?”The hesitation alone told him everything.Something had gone terribly wrong.Kael and Maeve had never gotten along. Ever since the first day they stepped into the university, they had been like oil and water. Kael never hid his dislike for her, and Maeve never bothered pretending to tolerate him.The only reason they had never crossed swords for real was because Rhys had always been around to stop things before they escalated.B
Chapter 222
Rhys returned to the university for nourishment of young talents and instantly caused a stir.Since Mama Chun and Baby Chun were not stored in his soul space and were rather roaming in the open, their sudden appearance in the university grounds took many by surprise.[ Ice Breath ]Almost as soon as Mama Chun appeared in the university in her massive polar bear form, a few clueless students tried to attack her thinking she was a rogue monster and were turned to ice statues instantly by Mama."Easy there Mama, don't kill them" Rhys pleaded as he stored Mama Chun in his soul space, while grabbing the small and cute Baby Chun in his arms."What is this place? Where are the trees?" Baby Chun asked, as it looked extremely surprised to see an area which was not a forest.Having been born in the origin realm 'Vorithra Slyithen', baby Chun had never seen the tower or the real world.For him, the entire universe was a forest and hence when he saw this new terrain for the first time, he felt ov
