Chapter 146: The Return

Liberty Guild headquarters was buzzing with excitement.

Jaxen walked through the front doors, his golden mask tucked away, his expression calm. Three weeks had passed since he had left for isolated training.

The moment he stepped into the main hall, the room erupted.

"Jaxen!" Sophia rushed forward, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug. "You're back!"

He hugged her back. "I'm back."

"We missed you,"

  • Chapter 152: The Final Tests

    Chapter 152: The Final Tests The day of the finals arrived. Elara stood in the main hall with the other students, her heart pounding. Weeks of training, studying, and simulations had led to this moment. The headmaster stood at the front, his voice echoing through the hall. "Today, you will face your final tests. There will be three stages. Each will challenge you in different ways. You will be evaluated on your performance, and your final rank will be determined." He paused. "The first stage is the written exam. You will have two hours to complete it. You may begin." --- The written exam was brutal. Questions covered everything—mana theory, monster classifications, dungeon protocols, emergency procedures, combat strategies, healing techniques. Elara's hand cramped as she wrote. Her mind raced as she answered. Some questions were easy. Others made her pause, think, reconsider. What is the optimal mana output for a tier-three healing spell on a patient with internal bleeding?

  • chapter 151: The Simulation

    chapter 151: The Simulation The final simulation was announced on a Monday morning. "This will be your last graded simulation before finals," the instructor said, standing before the assembled students. "You will be evaluated on teamwork, combat effectiveness, and support efficiency. Treat this as if it were real." Elara stood with her team—Mira, Kael, Sera, Dorian, and Lyra. They had trained together for weeks. They knew each other's strengths. Each other's weaknesses. "We've got this," Mira said. Elara nodded. "We've got this." --- The simulation chamber was larger than before. The walls were lined with projectors, creating a fully immersive environment. The floor shifted beneath their feet, transforming into a rocky terrain. The ceiling disappeared, replaced by a dark sky filled with stars. The scenario appeared on their screens. Dungeon Type: Volcanic Cavern Enemies: Fire Elementals, Lava Beasts, Magma Golem (Boss) Objective: Clear the dungeon, defeat the boss "Volcan

  • Chapter 150: The Combat Trials

    Chapter 150: The Combat Trials Combat class was humbling. Elara stood in the training yard, her wooden practice staff in hand, facing a boy named Toren. He was a combat-type—broad-shouldered, confident, with a smirk that said he had done this a hundred times. "Ready?" the instructor asked. Elara nodded. "Begin!" Toren moved first. He was fast—faster than she expected. His staff swung toward her shoulder. She tried to block, but she was too slow. The staff connected with her arm. "Ow!" "Point to Toren," the instructor said. Elara rubbed her arm, frustrated. They reset. Toren attacked again. This time, she dodged—but stumbled, losing her balance. He tapped her shoulder. "Point to Toren." Again. And again. And again. By the end of the class, Elara had lost every sparring match. --- She sat on a bench after class, her head in her hands. I'm terrible at this. Mira appeared beside her. "Hey. You okay?" "I'm awful," Elara said. "I can't fight. I can't block. I can't do any

  • Chapter 149: The Mall Incident

    Chapter 149: The Mall Incident The weekend had arrived, and Elara's new friends had convinced her to go shopping. "There's a huge mall near the academy," Mira said, practically bouncing with excitement. "It has everything—clothes, food, arcades, a movie theater. We have to go." Elara hesitated. She had studying to do. Training to catch up on. But Mira's enthusiasm was infectious. "Fine," she said. "But just for a few hours." "That's what they all say," Kael muttered, grinning. --- The mall was massive. Three floors of shops, restaurants, and entertainment. Crowds of people moved through the corridors, their arms full of shopping bags. Music played from speakers overhead. The smell of food wafted from the food court. Elara walked with Mira, Kael, and Sera, taking in the sights. "This is amazing," she said. "Told you," Mira replied. They visited clothing stores. Mira tried on dresses. Kael bought a new jacket. Sera found a book she had been looking for. Elara bought a small

Elara sat in the passenger seat, her duffel bag at her feet, her gaze fixed on the window."Nervous?" Jaxen asked."A little," she admitted."You'll be fine.""I know." She paused. "You already said that.""Then why are you still nervous?"She smiled. "Because I'm me."He laughed.---The academy loomed in the distance—a massive complex of stone and glass, surrounded by training grounds and dormitories. Students moved across the campus, their uniforms crisp, their expressions a mix of excitement and anxiety.Jaxen pulled up to the entrance and parked."This is it," he said.Elara took a deep breath. "This is it."She opened the door and stepped out. Jaxen got out too, walking around to help her with her bag.
