chapter 51: New armour
Walking through the busy streets of Academy City, Lucian weaved through the crowds, his eyes scanning the storefronts. He was on a specific mission today: finding a proper weaponsmith shop to upgrade his gear before tomorrow. It didn’t take him long as he soon spotted it. Standing tall between two merchant stalls was a shop with a heavy iron sign hanging above the door that read Bjorn’s Forge. It was a sturdy structure built from grey stone and dark polished timber, dominated by a massive brick chimney that puffed thick grey smoke into the sky. CLANG… CLANG… CLANG… The rhythmic sound of a hammer striking metal echoes down the street. Above the thick oak door, the iron sign depicted a towering Viking figure wielding a hammer against an anvil. Lucian pushed the heavy door open and stepped inside. A wave of warm air hit him instantly, thick with the scents of burning coal, heated iron, and oil. The walls were lined with sturdy racks holding every type of weapon and armour imagi
chapter 50: Test announcement
The sun rose bright and clear the next morning, shining down over the vast grounds of Astrae Academy. By 8:00 AM, almost every single student from the First‑Year classes was gathered inside the massive Central Hall. The atmosphere was buzzing with noise, excitement, and a hint of nervousness. Everyone knew something big was coming. Rumours had been spreading since yesterday about a major practical mission. At the front of the hall, standing on a raised platform, was Instructor Vian. She looked out over the crowd with a sharp, serious expression, her voice loud and booming, echoing off the stone walls. “LISTEN UP, EVERYONE!” Vian shouted, making sure even the students at the very back could hear clearly. “I have called you all here today to make an official announcement regarding your practical training. Up until now, you have learned theory, trained with mana and aura, and fought in controlled sparring matches. But that is all just preparation. From now on, you will be doing th
chapter 49:Noodles to ketch up
Stepping outside of the VR arcade into the cool evening air, Lucian let out a long breath. His body was still buzzing with adrenaline from the battle against the Knight, but his mind was already moving forward. He had been gone from his friends for too long. He walked straight toward the city centre, turning the familiar corner until he saw the glowing red sign: Dragon Nook. He pushed open the wooden door. The warm smell of broth and spices hit him immediately. Inside, near the back, his friends were already sitting at their usual round table. Harry, Grace, and Latisha. As the bell chimed, all three looked up. “Look who finally showed up,” Harry said, grinning and waving him over. “Took you long enough.” Lucian slid into the empty seat across from them, smiling genuinely for the first time in months. “Sorry about that,” Lucian said. “It’s good to see you guys again. How have you all been doing these past two months?” “Same old, same old,” Harry shrugged, leaning back. “But hones
Chapter 48: beyond my weight class III
BANG! The massive hammer slammed hard into the ground right where Lucian had stood a split second before, shattering stone and sending cracks spreading outward. But he was already gone. His legs coiled tight as springs and his body launched straight upward in a sharp high jump, clearing the heavy strike completely. He did not drift away or land back. Mid-air, he twisted his body, eyes locked straight onto the armoured figure below. It was the Knight clad in full hero armour with a Spartan-style helmet smeared with old blood and wielding that terrifying warhammer. Before the Knight could lift his weapon or turn to track him, Lucian snapped his legs forward. He came diving right back down, both feet braced together while a golden aura wrapped tightly around his legs to make them heavy and hard as iron. WHOOSH THUD! He landed both feet hard and square onto the Knight’s chest plate, driving all his weight and momentum straight into the centrentre of that heavy armour. The impact rang
chapter 47: beyond my weight II
The Knight stood towering over the field, his massive frame encased in impenetrable armour that radiated pure dominance. “I will crush you completely beneath my hammer!” he bellowed, his voice deep, rough, and echoing like grinding boulders. “You are nothing but an insect crawling beneath my boots! DIE!” Obviously he was roleplaying some players would do this to keep the game interesting but this one seemed to take it too far.Lucian narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint of defiance shining within them. He clenched his fists tight, feeling his aura surge violently through his veins before condensing heavily around his hands.“We’ll see about that!” Lucian roared back. “I’ll smash that ugly face you’re hiding behind that scrap metal helmet… right in with my bare fists!”“INSOLENT MORTAL!” The Knight snarled. “I will turn you into paste!”In the next heartbeat, both fighters exploded toward each other. The ground trembled under the sheer weight of their colliding killing intent.The Knight
chapter 46: Beyond my weight class
After securing victory over the blood mage, Lucian wasn't yet satisfied. Instead, he hungered for stronger opponents and requested another match. However, as the system began searching for the next opponent a strange feeling crept into Lucian’s heart. It was a sensation he had not felt in a long time, adrenaline excitement. “I feel like… punching way above my weight class here” Lucian thought to himself frowning slightly as he analysed his own strength. “I had been dominating every match so easily. It feels kinda … easy. I need a new challenge?” Just as that thought crossed his mind the system chimed loudly. [MATCH FOUND.] [WARNING: OPPONENT RANK EXCEEDS SELECTED PARAMETERS. OPPONENT POWER LEVEL: 7-STAR PEAK — 8-STAR.] [LOADING COMPLETE...] Whoosh! The scenery changed once again. Standing opposite Lucian was a figure that towered nearly two metres tall. He was clad from head to toe in gleaming polished Hero Armour. Every piece was thick heavy and designed for maximum protec
