Ryan had just raised his hand to knock on the door of Classroom Three when it suddenly opened from the inside.
His hand was already moving forward.

Chapter 236 - One Week Before the Exam
“SEVEN DAYS LEFT.”Large red letters appeared on the main page of the Blackthorn Network.Before anyone realized it, the third Monthly Exam was only one week away.The atmosphere among the first-year students changed along with it.This exam would not simply determine their grades. Its results would also become one of the main factors in deciding the official Class Captain positions.The Acting Class Captains certainly had an advantage, but their positions were not permanent. If another student performed far better during the exam, there was still a chance they could be replaced.But the thing making everyone truly uneasy had nothing to do with positions.
Chapter 235 - A Six-Thousand Merit Mark Order
“Lv3?”Ryan stared at the Wraithstep data displayed on his Blackthorn Sigil in slight disbelief.After returning to his room that night, the first thing he did was check the results of his entire day of training.[Wraithstep Lv3]Agility: 9Yesterday, after turning the residual experience from Replication into a permanent ability, Wraithstep had only reached Lv1.After the next training session, it had risen to Lv2.Even that level of progress was already extremely fast.But today, Wraithstep had jumped straight to Lv3.Ryan’s
Chapter 234 - An Unstable Potion
“Unstable?”Ryan looked at the row of vials inside the box.“You mean sometimes the potion doesn’t work?”“Not exactly.”Faye Wren shook her head.“The effect is always there. The problem is that the strength of that effect varies from person to person.”According to Faye, their initial simulation results had actually been very promising.The potion was designed to improve a person’s ability to absorb experience during training.But once they began testing it on real people, the results became inconsistent.
Chapter 233 - Experimental Training Potion
Messages kept coming in until late at night.At first, Ryan had only planned to sell a portion of his Aster Crowns for extra Merit Marks and energy crystals.But the number of people contacting him far exceeded his expectations.What annoyed him slightly were the questions.Are you really a first-year student?Where did you get that many Aster Crowns?This money is legal, right?Eventually, Ryan stopped explaining.As long as the transactions took place through the official Blackthorn Network marketplace, both parties’ identities were recorded and any fraud could be dealt with directly by the academy.If
Chapter 232 - Selling Aster Crowns
“Ouch... that actually hurts.”Ryan pressed a hand against his swollen cheek as he walked back toward the dormitory.A full day of training in the Arcane Combat Simulator had left very obvious results on his face. Several students passing by even did a double take after noticing the bruises around his eye and jaw.The training hall did have automatic recovery facilities.The problem was that using them cost Merit Marks.The special privileges Alaric had granted him allowed Ryan to enter classes and facilities normally unavailable to first-year students, but they did not make everything free.Ryan was beginning to understand the limits of that freedom.The Headmaster had given him opportunities to learn.Not unlimited resources.If Ryan wanted equipment, treatment, energy crystals, or anything else, he still had to pay for them himself.And he only had 450 Merit Marks.The third Monthly Exam was
Chapter 231 - Training Wraithstep
“Begin.”The moment Ryan gave the command, the virtual figure in front of him moved.Ryan deliberately thrust his training sword first to provoke an attack.After that, he had no intention of fighting back at all.He had only one goal.Dodge.The virtual opponent with Basic Swordsmanship Lv9 swung its sword without hesitation.Ryan stepped sideways using one of Wraithstep’s basic movements.Too late.THWACK!The wooden sword struck his arm.More Chapter
