Ryan stood in front of the vice principal’s office desk, back straight, eyes sharp, and posture firm like a soldier before a superior. The air smelled faintly of paper, burning incense, and faint traces of dried herbs—Vivian’s office always carried that sharp, earthy tang. Across from him, Vivian sat with arms crossed, her sharp gaze sweeping over him with an authority that could cut steel. Franca lingered near the bookshelves, her arms full of scrolls, pretending to be busy but very clearly eavesdropping on every word.“So that’s the situation,” Ryan said finally, voice even, but his chest still buzzing with the intensity of the report he’d just unloaded. “Alavenya will be arriving at the Academy. She’s not coming quietly either—trouble is written all over her name.”Vivian tapped her slender finger against the polished wooden table. Her nails made a soft tok, tok, tok that echoed like the clicking of a

Chapter 125: The Whisper of Blood and the Shadows of Kin
Ryan lowered his gaze, his fingers unconsciously clenching and unclenching at his side. A gnawing unease dug into him, one that words could not easily soothe.Vivian had sharp instincts, sharp enough to carve through falsehoods like a blade through silk. She must have already guessed the truth—that his Dioki, that wild current of shimmering energy that lived within his veins, was far too scarce to sustain the miracles he had been unleashing.Sphinx alone had demanded rivers of power to awaken, and yet Ryan had not crumbled. Not long after, he had gone further, calling forth Anubis in defiance of every logical boundary. By all rights, he should have collapsed into ash and silence.It didn’t add up.It didn’t make sense.Unless… something had happened to him. Something he couldn’t remember.Ryan’s jaw tightened as the thought stung like a thorn buried beneath flesh.“Tell me,” Vivian’s voice pressed, soft but edg

Chapter 123: Ryan’s True Gambit — The Smile Beneath the Mask
Chapter 123: Ryan’s True Gambit — The Smile Beneath the MaskThe great Dragon King clenched his jaw so tight it was as though his teeth might crack into dust. His voice trembled, not with fear, but with the strain of holding back emotion he wasn’t supposed to show.“No,” he rumbled, a bass note that shook the hall. “There is no need for you to sacrifice yourself. I—”He stopped. He swallowed hard, as though the words themselves clawed like daggers in his throat.Across from him, his daughter Alavenya narrowed her eyes. She had seen through him. His hesitation, his faltering authority, his guilt—it was written across his massive frame no matter how he tried to hide it.Her father, the Dragon King who could split mountains with a breath, was faltering because of her.That only hardened her resolve.“Father,” she said, her voice sharp enough to cut steel. “You don’t have to force yourself to say it. I understand. You’ve carried too m
Chapter 122: The Mountain Trembles with Rage
Chapter 122: The Mountain Trembles with Rage Alavenya’s sandals scraped stone as she climbed the winding trail toward her father’s secluded peak. The air was thin here, sharp with frost and the biting metallic tang of Dioki that often lingered after violent training sessions. Normally, she relished visiting this place—it was where the Dragon King meditated, trained, and from time to time, gave her rare words of guidance. But today her pulse beat unevenly. Two weeks had passed since that fiasco with the academy guests, and Mando had assured her again and again that everything would blow over. She had almost convinced herself it was done. Finished. Forgotten. But the summons came. Her father wanted to see her. And that was never casual. When she reached the plateau where he usually trained, her steps faltered.
Chapter 121: The Dragon’s Oath and the Skyward Return
Chapter 121: The Dragon’s Oath and the Skyward ReturnThe second lap dragged longer than the first. Sweat clung to Ryan’s hair like stubborn threads of glue, his breath heavy and ragged. Each step pounded against the forest floor, the earth itself seeming to resist him. Chaollete trailed close behind, her posture taut with both exhaustion and pride.But unlike the day before, they were not abandoned to their fatigue. The Dragon King himself had appeared, his towering silhouette radiating an aura that pressed upon their lungs. With an oddly fatherly scowl, he handed them dried meat wrapped in leaves, water so cold it misted the air when poured, and words sharp enough to cut their excuses before they could even form.“Eat. Drink. Then move,” he ordered, his voice carrying the resonance of a storm caught between mountains.Ryan didn’t argue. He couldn’t. The old bastard wasn’t just terrifying—he was right. The small meal and water settled in their st
Chapter 120: The Mountain’s Crucible, Flesh Against Stone
Chapter 120: The Mountain’s Crucible, Flesh Against Stone The sound cracked like thunder as the massive serpent-dragon Nidhogg slammed his tail into the waiting Sphinx. The strike split the air, stone chips spraying from the sheer force of impact. “You’re fucking dead, furball!” Nidhogg roared, eyes blazing. His voice was half threat, half exhilaration—the primal joy of battle. Sphinx snarled back, fangs flashing, claws digging furrows into the earth. The two divine beasts were already tearing at one another, a contest of dominance brewing like a storm. Their movements blurred, massive bodies clashing with seismic shockwaves. But Ryan? He didn’t even look back. Hands tucked casually into his blazer pockets, the young summoner walked past the chaos as if it were nothing more than two children squabbling in a sandbox. His stride carried him straight toward the Dragon King, who stoo
