Ryan stared at the Universal Prodigy panel with a faint smile.
Today was his first free day since entering Blackthorn. The training halls and several classrooms were still open, but first-year students weren’t required to attend any lessons.
For most people, that meant a chance to exp

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
Chapter 72 - Traces of Level Ten
“So this is what it feels like...”Ryan maintained his Meditation state while observing the streams of light flowing through his consciousness.Compared to the three-minute experience he had when replicating Mara Quinn’s Basic Meditation Lv.10, everything was much blurrier now.The four elements were no longer clearly separated.Instead, they blended into clusters of light that flowed like a long river through the darkness.But Ryan didn’t feel completely unfamiliar with what he was seeing.He had already seen all of it before.When he used Basic Meditation Lv.10, Fire had appeared red and felt hot and aggressiv
Chapter 71 - Elemental Affinity
“Want to keep going?”Caleb Morgan was still holding his sword, but this time he didn’t immediately take another fighting stance.Ryan rolled his wrists a few times. The healing array had erased his wounds, but the fatigue in his muscles and joints was still there.Healing repaired injuries.It didn’t erase exhaustion.“Not right now.” Ryan shook his head. “I’m heading to Meditation class.”Caleb glanced at the time. “Now?”“I can still make it.”Before leaving, Ryan finally opened the notifications he hadn’
Chapter 70 - Basic Blocking
When training by himself, Ryan knew exactly which movement he planned to perform before his body even moved.In a duel, he didn’t have that luxury.When Caleb used Cleave, Ryan had only a fraction of a second to recognize the direction of the attack and choose a response.Choose wrong—Clang!Ryan’s sword flew from his hand.Or—Slash!Another wound appeared across his arm.Ryan picked up his sword again.“One more time.”
Chapter 69 - Sparring
“Find a partner. Use real swords.”The moment Cassandra Voss left the training hall, the atmosphere changed completely.Not a single student dared touch a wooden sword again.Everyone began forming pairs. After living together at Blackthorn for a week, most students were already familiar enough with classmates or people from other groups they often encountered in the dormitory and during lessons.There was another reason they preferred someone they knew.A real sword was still a real sword.Miscalculating their strength even slightly could result in an injury that would cost Merit Marks to heal.Ryan was just about to look
Chapter 68 - Eight Basic Movements
The students exchanged glances.Only one person moved.Caleb Morgan.Ryan wasn’t surprised. Caleb had already told him his level over the weekend.Cassandra picked up a real sword from the rack.“Hard to gain EXP now?”Caleb gave a bitter smile. “Very. Sometimes it takes seven or eight swings to get one. Sometimes more than ten swings give me nothing.”“Good.”Caleb blinked. “Good?”“It means the system has finally stopped rewarding you just because you can swing a sword like a normal h
