Ryan opened his eyes slowly, blinking away the Dioki haze that blurred his vision. The pressure around him immediately sharpened his senses—three silhouettes encircled him, each pulsing with the energy of summoned familiars. The momentary silence was a lie. A calm before a stupidly loud storm. He didn’t need to glance twice to recognize one of them—John, top-ranked bastard in their division. The other two? Vague echoes in his memory. Faces that never earned real estate in his brain. "Three, huh?" Ryan mumbled, his voice dry. His gaze slid across their familiars—a hulking orc with boulder-like fists, a snarling hobgoblin with twin cleavers, and a nimble satyr twirling a dagger like a conductor of war. Not one of them bore a trace of a wolf’s bloodline, which meant his Sphinx’s aura wouldn’t screw with them like it did Landark. John sneered, twirling a Dioki

Wreck her ass!” Vivian hollered from the sidelines, fist in the air, eyes blazing with excitement as she watched the projectiles punch into Noelle’s body. Her smirk stretched ear to ear, but the smugness quickly dimmed as she added with a groan, “Damn it though… the attack’s too weak to shatter that arm and break through the Dioki-infused protection all in one go.”The heat of battle wasn’t just on the field—it boiled in the blood of everyone watching.Flora clicked her tongue in annoyance, blinking like she couldn’t believe what was happening. “What kind of joke is this?! Noelle, are you seriously gonna lose now? You better not, or I’m screwed! That guy’s nuts! If you don’t stop him here, he’s going to turn the entire class against us!” Her hands balled into trembling fists.Off to the side, Dan stood awkwardly scratching the back of his head. He was an instructor, sure, but getting involved

Chapter 62: The Smile That Dares the Sword---When the world feels colder than death… and even the moon turns its back on you—That’s when someone warm enough to reach into your broken heart becomes more than just an ally. They become your reason.---Chaollete Ashley’s breath was ragged, but her gaze was unwavering.'When I forgot what love felt like… when I stopped remembering what warmth even meant…'The image of her father’s smiling face flickered in her mind like an old flame refusing to die. He had always believed in her. Always encouraged her, hugged her, called her “my little star.” That world felt like a dream now—a past life swallowed by the mansion’s suffocating silence after he was gone.Her hands curled into trembling fists.Back then, no one reached for her. No one offered kindness. Not until he did.A foolish, relentless boy—Ryan—who spoke nonsense and hope in equ
Chapter 61: The Blade Before Dawn
Chapter 61: The Blade Before Dawn---"AAARRRGGHHHH!!!"Ryan’s scream tore through the air, raw and piercing, as he clutched his right arm. Something inside it had snapped—bone, tendon, or both. The cracking sound wasn’t just audible—it rang in his skull like a cursed bell, drowning out everything else. His hand dangled uselessly by his side, the Dioki in his bloodstream going wild, rushing toward the injury but unable to repair the damage in time.His vision blurred, but Noelle’s voice sliced through the pain like a dagger.“If this tiny bit of pain can paralyze you, kid... the real enemies out there will crush you before you even blink.”Noelle’s body tensed, crouching low like a beast ready to strike again.But before she could launch forward—BOOM!Two figures flanked her—Sphinx on the right, fur bristling like black flames, and Anubis on the left, cloak of sand swirling around him with si
Chapter 60: "Clash Beneath the Crimson Sky: Ryan vs Noelle"
Chapter 60: "Clash Beneath the Crimson Sky: Ryan vs Noelle"Ryan groaned as he picked himself up from the cracked training ground. Dust clung to his uniform, and a sharp sting pulsed across his ribs from where Noelle’s kick had landed. Sphinx and Anubis snarled at his side, their auras flaring with fury. Neither of them had anticipated being outpaced so utterly — they hadn’t even sensed her strike until it had landed. That stung more than the bruises."She’s fast. Too fast," Ryan thought, wiping blood from the corner of his lip. Dioki shimmered faintly around Noelle’s form — a distorted mirage of pressure and brilliance, so intense it was painful to look at.Noelle stood calmly, her face devoid of remorse. Her blade glinted in the low light, and her black combat skirt fluttered with each shift of wind. “That proposal,” she said, “still stands. You spar with me now. If you prove yourself, you can accompany me on the next mission.”Ryan's jaw clench

Chapter 59: "The Coward's Gambit — Offer Beyond the Gate of Blades""Are we seriously going to fight her?" Ryan muttered, dragging a hand through his tousled hair, his tone a twisted mixture of disbelief and resignation. His mouth curled into a crooked grin, a sliver of humor breaking through the tension. "Sphinx, I'm buying us time. Get Anubis ready. Teach him that thing — you know the one."Sphinx's ears twitched, her fur bristling slightly. Confused for a heartbeat, she tilted her head, but recognition clicked in her golden eyes. Ryan always had a plan — ridiculous, suicidal, or brilliant — and this smelled like one of those.The odds? Slim. The hope? Thinner. But sometimes, the best victories were etched from fragments of desperation.Ryan stepped forward, cracking his knuckles. “Don’t you know how to go easy on your juniors, Noelle?”Noelle's stare didn’t waver. Her long blade gleamed under the gray morning sun, Dioki lightly ripplin

Chapter 58: Stop Her — The Sword That Sings in Blood and WindOn the western edge of Frexia Forest, the clearing reeked of ozone and sweat. Ryan sheathed his blade with a detached grace, the sharp whisper of steel sliding into its scabbard barely audible beneath the rustle of disturbed foliage. All around him lay scraps of cloth and torn student headbands, fluttering like the remnants of a fallen banner.“As expected of Ryan,” one student muttered with an awkward grin, clapping as if trying to drown his unease. “Thanks to you, we crushed them.”“That’s right,” added the other, nodding. “If we push straight through this route, we’ll reach the goal way faster than anyone else.”Ryan’s eyes remained distant. He wanted to scoff. These two had attached themselves to him not out of camaraderie, but convenience. Tagalongs. Leeches riding his strength to challenge the likes of Author. He gave them no response but a curt, “Move.”...Else
