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 obje

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.
Chapter 230 - The Experience That Remained
“Impossible. That’s max-level Wraithstep!”Adrian Vale actually stopped moving when he saw Ryan evade the next attack.The second-year student fighting Ryan kept swinging his training sword in frustration. A slash came from the right, followed by a quick thrust toward the chest, then a low sweep aimed at the legs.Not a single attack landed.During the first minute, Ryan’s movements had still looked slightly stiff.But the longer the fight continued, the more natural his footwork became.Ryan wasn’t moving faster than his opponent.He was simply always standing in the wrong place to be hit.<
