Ryan pushed aside the coals with a stick, then pulled out the metal-wrapped bundle that had been buried among the hot embers.

Chapter 78 - The Price of Ten Years
“Don’t treat death as part of your strategy.”Gareth Crowe cut through the whispers spreading across the lecture hall.Ryan looked away from Evelyn.Gareth raised the Redscar Gorge document. “There are three objectives written here, but if you want to simplify things, consider there to be a fourth objective that isn’t listed.”He paused.“Come back alive.”No one laughed.“Failing to earn Merit Marks can be fixed next month. Missing out on Academy Credits isn’t the end of the world either. But ten years of lifespan won’t come back just because you regret making a stupid
Chapter 77 - Redscar Gorge
“Don’t just stare at the map. Read the background of the operation.”Gareth Crowe’s voice made several students who had been focused only on Redscar Gorge’s topography immediately turn the page.Ryan did the same.The next page contained a summary of the region.Redscar Gorge was a barren area in the southeastern part of Asterra’s main continent. Daytime temperatures were extremely high, rainfall was scarce, and most of the region consisted of red rock formations inhabited by creatures capable of surviving in extreme environments.Around one-third of the area had once belonged to the Stormveil Kingdom.At the time, Stormveil’s border force
Chapter 76 - Basic Fire Resistance

Chapter 74 - Ice Bullet
Ryan stepped into an empty lane.He gripped the wand.He didn’t need to understand Ice Bullet’s spell structure.He didn’t need Basic Meditation Lv.5.The spell was already embedded inside the weapon.All Ryan had to do was supply mental energy and aim it.He raised the wand.The target stood ten meters away.“Let’s try it.”The blue orb lit up.Cold spread down into his fingers.“Ice Bullet.”
Chapter 73 - Enhanced Novice Wand
“It’s finished?”Ryan stood in front of the third-year dormitory building, looking at his Arcane Communicator.Dorian Pike: Yeah. Wait outside. A first-year Sigil can’t open this building.Ryan had already confirmed that for himself.[Access Denied.]He put the communicator away and waited.Several third-year students passing by gave Ryan’s green uniform suspicious looks. A freshman lingering outside a senior dormitory on the weekend was bound to stand out.Fortunately, Dorian appeared not long afterward.He looked different from what Ryan had
