C309: Thunder Beneath the Leaves
C309: Thunder Beneath the Leaves Ryan sat on the edge of his chair, one elbow resting on the table as his eyes slowly moved across the paper in front of him, while the dim lantern light made the ink look darker than it really was. The mission parchment itself was plain, the kind that did not look like it carried anything dangerous, yet the weight of it felt heavier than it should have, as if the paper had soaked up the blood of everyone who had failed before. [Mission: Bandit Subjugation.] [Description: Wind Calling Bandit is a notorious bandit group who has been terrorizing the land of Alba. Please subjugate them.] [Reward: 20 Gold Coins.] Ryan blinked once, then again, as if he expected the number to change after the second look, because twenty gold coins was not a casual reward. It was the kind of payment reserved for a mature class alien extermination, or a high-risk escort mission, or an emerg
C308: Chains Behind the Smile
C308: Chains Behind the SmileThe Student Council office felt like a battlefield that didn’t bother hiding its bloodstains.Stacks of parchment were piled like barricades. Sealed envelopes sat in neat rows like landmines waiting to explode. Wax stamps from noble families glinted under the lanternlight, and every single one of them screamed the same message.Trouble.And standing right in front of that chaos was Chaollete Ashley, rubbing her cheek like she was trying to wipe away the frustration crawling up her skin.“There are a lot of documents you need to handle right now.”Flora’s voice came out sharp, clipped, and heavy with irritation, like she had been repeating the same damn sentence for the past hour and was starting to regret not learning assassination techniques instead of administrative skills.Chaollete’s lips tightened.“But…” she muttered, her voice softer than usual, almost like she was barga
C307: Chains of Paperwork (Bonus)
C307: Chains of Paperwork (Bonus)“Go on. Try it,” Vivian said, tapping the side of a round crystal that was almost the size of a human head.The crystal itself was strange, its surface smooth like polished glass, yet there were faint lines inside it that looked like frozen lightning, as if the thing had been carved from condensed Dioki rather than mined from the earth.Ryan stared at it for a moment, then nodded.He placed his palm against the crystal’s cool surface, exhaled slowly, and pushed his Dioki forward.The moment the energy touched the inside of the crystal, the entire object lit up.Not with a single color.With many.Tiny particles flickered into existence, floating in the crystal like trapped fireflies.One blue particle.Six green ones.Seven yellow.Six orange.Five red.Each particle glowed with its own presence, and Ryan could almost fe
C306: Whispers Before the Fourth Gate
C306: Whispers Before the Fourth GateThe night inside Frexia Academy felt strangely quiet, the kind of quiet that did not come from peace, but from exhaustion, the type that crawled into your bones after too many days of training, too many near death fights, and too many moments where you realized the world would gladly chew you up if you ever slowed down.The air was cold, but not naturally cold, it was cold in the way Dioki always made things cold when it gathered in the atmosphere, as if the energy itself carried an ancient frost that belonged to another age.Ryan leaned back on the chair, arms crossed, eyes half narrowed as if he were staring at an invisible battlefield floating in front of him, and in his mind he was already sorting through names like a man counting bullets before a war.Sera sat nearby, fidgeting like she was trying to stay calm but failing miserably, because no matter how much she tried to act tough, the idea of summoning a new demon still felt like gambling w
C305: Whispers of the Infernal
C305: Whispers of the Infernal“Ha… ha… ha…”Ryan’s chest rose and fell like a broken bellows, every breath dragging hot air through his throat as if his lungs had been scraped raw from the inside. His entire body was drenched, not just damp from exertion but soaked as though he had been tossed into a river, with sweat running down his neck, his arms, his ribs, and pooling along his fingertips before dripping onto the floor in fat, humiliating drops.His legs were shaking, his hands were trembling, and even his eyelids felt heavy, yet he still forced himself to stay standing, because collapsing now would feel like admitting defeat to a pile of stupid glowing cores.He stared at the scattered remains of the consumed cores, jaw clenched, teeth grinding.It was finally done.Or at least, the worst part was.Vivian straightened from her chair, rolling her shoulders like someone who had just finished watching an experime
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
