C304: Ashes of Plan C
C304: Ashes of Plan CThe moment Ryan’s question left his mouth, the air inside the room seemed to change.Not because of some dramatic pause, not because of suspense, but because the old man sitting at the head of the table did not answer with words.He answered with pressure.Dioki erupted from his body like a floodgate breaking, invisible at first, then suddenly thick enough that it felt like the entire world had been dunked into deep water. The candles lining the stone walls flickered violently, their flames bending sideways as if terrified. Even the fabric banners hanging from the ceiling fluttered like they were being strangled by an unseen hand.It was not heat.It was not wind.It was domination.The kind of Dioki that did not need a spell or a chant, because it was already a statement, a threat, and a punishment all in one.The men and women around the table stiffened, their breathing
C303: Dioki, Blood, and Burdens
C303: Dioki, Blood, and Burdens“I’m back!”Ryan pushed the door open like he owned the entire damn building, his voice loud enough to scare the dust off the ceiling.Inside the room, Chaollete Ashley was seated with perfect posture, her tone calm and teacher-like as she corrected Serafina’s stance. The girl was sweating, trying to look confident while her arms trembled from holding her Dioki flow steady.Chaollete turned her head the moment Ryan entered, her crimson eyes narrowing slightly before softening.“Oh?” she said, like she had been waiting for him. “You’re finished with whatever trouble you went to cause?”Ryan smirked, kicking his boots against the floor as he walked further in.“Yep,” he said casually. “And I even brought you something.”He lifted a bag in his hand, shaking it once like it was a harmless snack.Chaollete’s brow rose, suspicion and curiosity mixing together like poi
C302: The Dioki Dilemma
C302: The Dioki DilemmaBefore heading back to the villa, Ryan didn’t bother wasting time with the others, and instead returned straight to his own room like a man who had already decided the next few weeks were going to be absolute hell.The door shut behind him with a clean, heavy click, and the sound alone made the room feel smaller.Quieter.More dangerous.Ryan exhaled slowly, rolled his shoulders once, then raised his hand as Dioki began to stir inside his veins, not like warm mana, but like an ancient current of cold starlight slithering through bone and marrow.The air in the room shifted.The temperature dipped.The walls almost seemed to tighten.Then he summoned them.A pulse of Dioki surged outward like an invisible tide.Whoosh.The space rippled, and the first to emerge was Sphinx, landing with a heavy presence, his paw pressing down on the floor like he was mark
C301: Paper Walls, No Blood
C301: Paper Walls, No Blood“As long as we don’t fight,” Ryan said calmly, like he was discussing the weather instead of his possible forced marriage, “everything gets solved.”Chaollete Ashley stared at him like he had just confessed to eating rocks for breakfast.“Are you stupid?” she snapped instantly, her tone sharp enough to cut steel. “He literally said it turns into an immediate marriage. Immediate. I don’t even understand why he suddenly pulled this shit.”Ryan didn’t flinch. He did not even blink. He simply leaned back against the corridor wall outside the council room, his hands in his pockets, as if the whole academy could collapse and he would still look bored.“No,” he corrected her. “He said not accepting my challenge, losing, or winning leads to marriage. Meaning the fight itself is the trigger. If we can make it so the fight never happens, then the entire thing becomes meaningless.”Chaollete’s eyebrows twitc
Chapter 300: Bound by Challenge
Chapter 300: Bound by Challenge “I’m talking about facing my granddaughter, Noelle, in the Summoners War right before her graduation,” Sullivan’s voice carried the weight of command and expectation, firm yet tinged with the faintest trace of pride, as if he were outlining a ritual that had been long foretold, something meant to shape not just the outcome of a duel but the trajectory of his family’s legacy. Ryan’s eyebrows knitted together as he tried to process the magnitude of the request. “Facing Noelle before her graduation?” he repeated, the incredulity in his voice undeniable, each word steeped in disbelief. “Are you serious? You do understand the gap in our strength, right? Do you realize how vast the difference between her and me truly is?” Sullivan inclined his head slightly, a gesture that was calm, deliberate, and yet somehow unnerving. “Yes, I am serious,” he replied with an almost clinical precision, as if the consideration of risk had already been calculated and dismis
C299: Sullivan’s Bargain
C299: Sullivan’s BargainRyan stepped into the dimly lit office, the faint scent of aged parchment and scorched candles clinging to the air, mingling with the faint metallic tang of old summoning relics. Sullivan, perched behind a desk littered with scrolls and strange contraptions that seemed to hum with latent Dioki, folded his arms and leaned back slightly, squinting at Ryan as if trying to read not just his expression but his very intentions. “So, what brings you here unannounced? You rarely come to me without a purpose,” he said, voice layered with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. “From the look on your face, it seems like you’re plotting something… big.”Ryan chuckled lightly, the sound carrying both innocence and that hint of dangerous audacity that made even veterans wary. “Plotting something big? I wouldn’t dare. That would be… ambitious, wouldn’t it?”Sullivan raised an eyebrow, a trace of amusement in the corner of his eyes. “Heh? You think I d
