Chapter 13 Genetic Architecture of Project Chimera
The cold from the stone walls of the old library beneath Aethelgard Academy crept up Kenzo’s arms. The pitch-black crystal key Instructor Hauer had given him felt strange in his palm, seemingly draining the warmth from his fingertips. The dim blue light of the Eye of Origin illuminated dusty bookshelves crammed with ancient manuscripts and worn data tablets. The scent of decaying paper mixed with a faint, sharp chemical odor that made Kenzo shudder. This was the heart of the Empire’s lies, and he was incredibly fortunate that Hauer had granted him access."System, initiate archive scan. Prioritize data related to Project Chimera," Kenzo ordered quietly, his voice a whisper that carried clearly in the stillness of the room.The holographic interface, visible only to him, flickered, projecting threads of data and blurred images pulled from every scroll and tablet he touched. Thousands of years of information were embedded in these stone slabs and magical fibers. It was no wonder the Gol
Chapter 12 The Survivor of Class E
Shortly after the official announcement that the Forbidden Forest graduation exam had ended, an inexplicable aura of emptiness blanketed the silver area that had just witnessed the duel between Valerius and Kenzo. The students of Class E, with the exception of Kenzo, Mia, Hans, and Fenris, collapsed to the ground as if every ounce of their energy had been sucked away. The toxic smog from Hans’s Plague-Shadow Rat still swirled, partially obscuring the face of Kenzo, who had donned his tattered gray cloak once more.Kenzo picked up Valerius’s golden badge from among the fallen leaves. It was crafted from Sun-Stone, a crystal said to grow only in the core of a dragon's power. Yet, instead of seeing a mark of honor, all Kenzo saw was an encrypted code from the Eye of Origin. Something about frequency resonance with the Genesis Core. Something he had been hunting."Subject Yulian, survival success rate 98%. Lowering the standards of the Elite class infected by the plague." The Academy narr
Chapter 11 The Jaeger Cleaning Protocol
The Jaeger units moved first. Ten silver Mechanical Eagles, gleaming under the carrier’s spotlights, sliced through the forest canopy with the roar of mana-propelled blades cutting the air. In each Beast sat an Imperial soldier, sitting upright, their tactical helmets covering their entire faces. Each was equipped with magi-thermal sensors capable of scanning for a mouse behind twenty layers of steel plating. They were no ordinary soldiers; they were anomaly hunters, a special unit sent to purge genetic stains too dangerous to leave behind.In the middle of the ruin-strewn battlefield, Kenzo Julian did not panic. His eyes, now burning a deep, crimson red after manifesting Nihilus, analyzed every shadow and shift in the air. The defensive net woven into this forest was no longer a secret. Everything had been scanned and logged into his data."They aren’t just any hunters, they’re chasing the Void frequency trace that Nihilus is emitting," Kenzo muttered to himself, speaking to Nihilus,
Chapter 10 The Forbidden Forest Exam
The sky above the Forbidden Forest was not blue, but a deep, somber gray, choked by a canopy of ancient trees that towered like skyscrapers. Every student’s navigation sensor activa badges ted automatically the moment their feet touched the ground. There was only one goal: collect the group scattered throughout the central region, the very place where the Goldenthorn clan’s Golden Dragon resided in a specially isolated chamber as the ultimate challenge."The rules are simple," Instructor Hauer’s voice echoed through the microscopic speakers implanted in every student’s ear. "You Class E losers don't have much of a chance. Just stay hidden. Anyone who survives until sunset without losing their badge will be declared a pass."Hans snorted, pulling his collar up. "Listen up, guys. Hauer always tries to act like he cares, but he just wants us to die quietly so our class reputation stays in the gutter."Kenzo didn't answer. He stood at the edge of a misty ravine, his eyes locked onto the m
Chapter 9 Class E : The Gathering Place of Losers
The Class E dormitory was not a building, but a series of underground cells located behind the school's mana waste disposal pipes. The atmosphere was stifling, a musty odor dominating the air, mingled with the poor-quality mana residue from heaters that were constantly breaking down. There were no light crystals there, only cheap, flickering magic torches that cast desperate, dancing shadows against the damp concrete walls.Kenzo pushed open the creaky metal door. As he stepped inside, at least twelve pairs of eyes, hollowed by malnutrition and stress, turned toward him. The room was vast but packed with rusted folding cots squeezed tightly together."New loser," muttered a gaunt, skinny man who was busy trying to repair the mechanical spider legs of his Beast. "Take bed number 24. The only one left is near the main vent. The air from there will sting your eyes if you don't wear goggles."Kenzo did not respond. He walked to the designated cot and tossed his backpack, which contained o
Chapter 8 The Outcast's Disguise
The iron gates of Aethelgard Academy towered ten meters high, welcoming a throng of youths dressed in opulent finery. Kenzo Julian stood amidst a sea of magical silk and jewel-encrusted light armor, wearing a tattered gray coat faded by the dust of his travels. Inside his pocket, his hand gripped a piece of forged identification with edges that were beginning to peel."Your name, young man?" the administrator asked in a bored tone. He wore mana-powered optical glasses that glowed with a faint blue light. In his hand, a mechanical quill recorded everything onto a holographic sheet."Yulian. From the Western outskirts," Kenzo replied flatly. He kept his voice low and unremarkable.The officer raised an eyebrow, scanning the holographic display showing Yulian's data. "A fallen noble, eh? How classic. What kind of Beast did you bring? If it is just some low-grade insect, you had better turn around before our detection machine crushes your psyche."Kenzo did not answer immediately.
