Chapter 191
The message came two hours after the championship ceremony ended. "All tournament finalists report to Conference Room Seven immediately. Bring identification. Come alone." Miko stared at the official notice that had been slipped under his door. His team gathered around him, reading over his shoulder. "That's weird," Akiya said. "Why would they want just the competitors?" "And why come alone?" Anna added, her healer instincts picking up on the ominous tone. "Something's up," Liam muttered, already pulling out his tablet to research Conference Room Seven. "This room is in the secure wing of the academy. High-level meetings only." Miko folded the notice and put it in his pocket. "Guess I'll find out." "We're coming with you," Akiya said immediately. "The notice says come alone." "Since when do you follow rules?" Miko smiled at that. "Since they might involve my friends getting in trouble. Stay here. I'll be back soon." The walk to Conference Room Seven took him through parts o

The cheering didn't stop.Even after Hayes officially declared Miko the champion, even after the medics carried Samson away on a stretcher, the crowd kept roaring. Twenty thousand people on their feet, screaming his name like he'd just saved the world."MIKO! MIKO! MIKO!"The sound echoed off the arena walls, growing louder instead of fading. People were crying, laughing, throwing their hats in the air. Some were taking pictures with their phones, trying to capture the moment a sixteen-year-old kid destroyed a Church weapon with his bare hands.In the Church section, the reaction was very different."How is this possible?" one priest whispered to another."A holy sword, shattered by a child," Father Marcus said quietly, his face pale. "The consecration should have protected it.""What kind of power does he possess?""Something we clearly underestimated."The Church representatives huddled together, their earlier confidence completely gone. They spoke in hushed, urgent tones, glancing

Fire burst from his skin like he was a human volcano. The heat was so intense that every drop of sweat on his body evaporated instantly, turning to steam that rose around him in shimmering waves."What the hell is this?" Samson stumbled backward, his holy sword wavering.But that was just the beginning.Miko's body began to separate - not physically splitting apart, but dividing into two distinct elemental halves. His left side became pure ash, gray smoke swirling around him like living shadow. His right side blazed with raw fire, flames dancing across his skin in brilliant orange and red. The ash alone was corrupting the podium, and the fire was burning deep into the ground.No one needed to see the results of the fight, everyone could feel the pressure coming from Miko’s manifestation.The crowd gasped. Nobody had ever seen dual manifestation before. It was supposed to be a myth."Oh my god," someone whispered from the stands.Samson raised his sword, divine light blazing. "Impossib

The arena had never seen anything like this.Every seat was packed. People hung from the upper railings. The overflow sections were standing room only, with screens showing close-ups of the arena floor. Street vendors couldn't keep up with demand for food and championship merchandise.Miko walked onto the field. The roar was deafening - cheers, boos, chants, and arguments all blending into one massive wall of sound.In the VIP section, Imperial officials sat in their fancy uniforms. Military generals, academy directors, and politicians who normally wouldn't care about student competitions. They weren't here for entertainment. They were here to evaluate.The Church section was smaller but more organized. Priests in white robes sat perfectly still, their faces calm and confident. Father Marcus was in the front row, his scarred hands folded in his lap. He looked like a man watching his plans come together."Ladies and gentlemen!" The announcer's voice boomed over the crowd. "Welcome to t

Miko woke up before dawn.He sat up slowly, testing his range of movement. Better than yesterday, but not by much. His burned hand was still wrapped in bandages. The cut across his chest pulled when he breathed deep.Outside his window, the tournament grounds were already busy. Workers set up additional seating sections. Security guards checked barriers. Food vendors wheeled carts into position. The championship match was still hours away, but thousands of people were already gathering.A soft knock interrupted his thoughts. "It's me," Anna's voice came through the door.He let her in. She carried a medical bag and looked like she hadn't slept."How are you feeling?" she asked."Like I got hit by a Church weapon.""Funny." She sat on his bed and opened her bag. "Let me check those wounds again."Anna unwrapped the bandages on his hand. The burns looked better, but angry red lines still marked where he'd grabbed Samson's sword. When she touched them, energy flowed from her fingers."Th
Chapter 186
The long break was in Motion.Anna had spent three hours working on his injuries. The cuts from Samson's sword were the worst - they wouldn't heal properly, like the holy energy was still burning inside them. She'd done what she could, but her light healing struggled against Church consecration."I can't fix everything," she said, wiping sweat from her forehead. "That sword did something to these wounds. They'll heal, but slowly."Miko sat on his bed, feeling like he'd been hit by a truck. His ribs ached where the sword hilt had caught him. His burned hand was wrapped in bandages. The cut across his chest pulled every time he breathed."How bad is it?" he asked."Bad enough that any sane person would forfeit tomorrow's match."Akiya paced by the window like a caged animal. "This is crazy. They brought a Church weapon to a student tournament. That's not competition, that's assassination.""Technically legal assassination," Liam added from his corner. He'd been researching all evening,
