In the past few days, Alex had been busy sharing various cultivation techniques tailored to each student.

Some found it hard to understand their new methods, and Alex patiently guided each of them.

Finally, they all settled into the right techniques, and for the first time, they felt progress beyond anything they’d achieved with the institute’s methods.

“Alex, when we reach the Bronze level, and even become a noble later, we'll always think of you as our leader. That will never change.” Gratitude filled every student’s voice, each of them feeling deeply indebted to Alex.

Alex chuckled, “Remember, no matter how potent the cultivation technique, if you’re not diligent, it’ll be useless. Reaching the highest level also depends on your hard work.”

One of the students quickly chimed in, “Leader, I don’t need to reach the highest level. I’ll work hard in cultivation and training. I’ll be happy if I can reach the 1-star Silver Rank as an enhanced fighter.”

“Silver Rank?” Alex shook his head,

    Ethan, Carlos, and the other students were progressing even faster in their cultivation.Ethan, in particular, was advancing rapidly; he was already approaching the 1-star Bronze Rank, nearing the 100 mana point threshold.One could only imagine the surge in power they’d experience as their mana levels continued to rise.Reaching 1-star Bronze Rank or 100 mana points in two months didn’t seem impossible for Alex either.He might even aim for 2-star with 200 points, or 3-star at 300.During the next test, what expression would Shenny wear if she saw his unexpected progress?Meanwhile, in the fighter apprentice class, the seats for Alex and his group of commoner students had been empty for days.No one knew where they’d gone.Cassandra, aware of Alex’s busyness, hadn’t dared to disturb him, but despite her own cultivation progress, a lingering ache in her body wouldn’t subside.Finally, she gathered her courage and sent him a message, waiting patiently.She asked to meet at the training

    As night enveloped the training grounds, the moon cast a silver glow over everything below.Alex made his way to the agreed spot, a single bench at the corner of the training area, the most secluded one.Under the soft lunar light, Cassandra stood gracefully, her jet-black hair cascading over her shoulders.Her delicate features and elegant demeanor made her seem almost ethereal—a beauty rivaling Sofie’s.“I thought you weren’t coming,” Cassandra said, her eyes meeting his.“I always keep my promises,” Alex replied with a faint smile. “No matter how busy I am, helping you comes first.”“Thank you,” she whispered, lowering her gaze as she blushed, her voice soft with gratitude.Alex noticed she had dressed more elegantly than usual, in a white silk dress that accentuated her figure, flowing from her shoulders to her knees.The hem revealed her perfect form, shaped by years of diligent training.“Your injury should be improving,” Alex said as they both sat on the bench, gently taking he

    “Oh, right, Alex—you've angered the Bolton family. You need to be careful,” Cassandra warned, her expression serious.She knew firsthand how ruthless the Boltons could be.Years ago, her family, the Hathaways, had fallen into one of their traps, losing more than 70% of their property.Forced into an alliance with the Boltons, they had yet to recover fully and were on the verge of losing their noble status.“I’m aware,” Alex replied with a faint smile.“The Boltons are too worried about their reputation to act against me openly. They’ll likely wait a few months before making a move. By then, I’ll be ready.”Seeing his calm confidence, Cassandra felt reassured.With Alex, no problem seemed too big, and her admiration for him deepened.Without him, her life would have felt so empty.She discovered a paradox: loving him until it hurt left no more room for pain, only for deeper love.Even if he never reciprocated her feelings, she resolved to stay by his side until he noticed her devotion.

    Alex drew a deep breath, trying to quell the excitement thrumming through his veins.For ages, he’d wanted a chance to get close to Sofie, but he didn’t want to intrude.With her engagement to Vlad still unconfirmed, he felt an urgent need to strengthen himself.Only by becoming more powerful could he challenge the Bolton family and win Sofie away from Vlad."You guys go on ahead. I've got something to take care of," Alex said to Ethan, Carlos, and the others.Ethan and Carlos exchanged glances, following his gaze to where Sofie sat at the library table.Clutching an ancient book, she read quietly, resembling an ethereal figure."I bet Alex strikes out in under five minutes," Carlos smirked. "The prettiest girl in class won't even look his way.""Three minutes. Let’s hope he doesn’t take it too hard," Ethan murmured.They hid around a corner, watching Alex approach her."She’ll probably ignore him," one of the commoner students whispered. "Even Vlad hasn’t managed to get close to her.

    Sophie felt a mix of relief and admiration.She'd consulted professors and even the vice-principal, but none had spotted the flaw."And the other scroll?" she asked, her eyes filled with newfound hope.Alex held it up, his gaze thoughtful."This is 'Blizzard Magic,' originally a silver-ranked inscription from the Earth Empire. But the scribe didn't fully understand it and tried to compensate for missing runes to make the whole inscription work.""Can it be fixed?" she asked, hope creeping into her voice."Yes, by restoring its original structure." He extended his hand toward her. "May I have a pen?"She handed him a special inscription pen filled with mana-infused ink, their fingers brushing briefly.A slight blush warmed her cheeks, but she focused intently as he began to draw.With swift, confident strokes, Alex redrew the inscription runes, adding complex patterns that intertwined seamlessly.The ink glowed softly as he worked."This is the complete version," he explained, stepping

    "Die!" Vlad roared, his face contorted with rage as he recklessly channeled mana into his fists and launched a wild assault on Alex.But Alex's combat experience far surpassed Vlad's; he had faced countless battles, honing his skills to perfection.He didn't need to raise his own mana for protection. With smooth, effortless movements, he evaded all of Vlad's clumsy attacks.Vlad was like a raging bull—full of brute force but lacking precision.His use of mana was crude; he merely tried to overwhelm his opponent with sheer power.To Alex, it was amateurish. Mana wasn't meant to be used like this.He saw openings all over Vlad's approach; if he wanted, Vlad would already be lying unconscious on the floor.But Alex saw no point in causing unnecessary harm; Vlad posed no real threat, now or in the future.Would a tiger consider a rabbit a threat? Even if it grew bigger, it would still be harmless—a laughable notion.Oblivious to his own limitations, Vlad felt invincible.A grin spread acr

    In Miracle City, there was an Alchemy Association with a long history.A beautiful 25-year-old woman named Carmen served as its director.Despite her youth, she had proven herself a capable leader, surpassing many of her older colleagues.Initially, some whispered that she had used her beauty to attain her position, but her talent and genius in alchemy soon silenced the doubters.This morning, as Carmen sorted through the association's emails, she deleted the usual love letters from her device without a second glance.Her attention was caught by an email titled "15 Applications of Gotu Kola Grass in Alchemy."She frowned slightly. Gotu Kola Grass was commonly regarded as worthless, used only for making tea for digestive problems.Intrigued but skeptical, she opened the email.Inside, the author described over fifteen uses for the herb.Notably, adding a small amount to the Mana-Gathering Pill and Body-Strengthening Pill could boost their effectiveness by 35% and increase the success r

    As night embraced the quiet elegance of her room, Sofie sat at her desk, immersed in her research.She pored over the texts, searching for anything about the "blizzard" magic pattern that Alex had drawn, but even her family’s old volumes offered no clue."Where did Alex find this inscription pattern?" she murmured, frustration curling in her voice.Just then, a graceful woman entered, her movements poised. "Princess Sofie, you called for me?" she asked with a gentle smile."Teacher Tatiana, you're a master in magic inscriptions. Have you ever seen this pattern before?"Sofie’s eyes shone with a sliver of hope as she looked up at her private tutor.Tatiana’s gaze dropped to the drawing on the desk, and her eyes widened."Where did you find this? I've never seen anything like it," she said, her voice touched with awe."Even you don’t recognize it?" Sofie whispered in disbelief. If Teacher Tatiana—a master—didn’t know it, could Alex have created this pattern himself?"It does resemble 'B

    Alex felt a surge of deep satisfaction flood through him at Viscountess D’Arcy’s pronouncement, his tense shoulders finally easing with relief.Beside him, Ophelia D’Arcy's face blossomed into a serene smile, her long-held anxieties gently melting away.At last, the coveted headship was within her grasp.No longer would she suffer from scornful glances and whispered mockeries.Her parents, whose heads had long been bowed beneath the weight of ridicule, could finally stand tall, pride radiating from every pore.Viscountess D’Arcy turned sharply, eyes glittering with anticipation as she fixed her granddaughter with a piercing stare.“Ophelia, there’s something important I require of you.”“Of course, Grandma,” Ophelia responded immediately, her voice respectful yet wary. “What would you have me do?”The old woman leaned closer, her voice dripping with ambitious fervor. “I want you to personally invite Miss Jessica Golden to tomorrow’s banquet.”She paused, her eyes igniting with fiery e

    “Splendid!” Philip sneered, his voice dripping with sarcastic delight.“About damn time! You should've divorced Ophelia ages ago!”“Indeed!” echoed the chorus of the family, their voices merging into a spiteful symphony. “We’ve long accepted the necessity of you cutting loose from Ophelia!”“Yes, divorce her right this instant!” came another sharp voice, resonating with bitter contempt.The family’s collective pride had always recoiled in shame from the day Ophelia tied herself to Alex Leonhard, the poorest excuse for a baron anyone had ever laid eyes on.In the corner, Alex watched quietly, calculating.This uproar provided him the perfect opportunity to sever the marriage he believed had been forced upon him by the manipulations of the Demon King.Once freed from Ophelia, he would fulfill his obligation with the herbal remedy and then ride away to Miracle City, unburdened and unattached.Yet, amidst this chaos, Ophelia’s voice cut sharply through, startling everyone.“Marvelous sug

    “What? You—you actually pulled it off?” Philips stammered, his eyes wide with disbelief, panic clawing at his chest.The realization that his precious land would slip right into Ophelia’s grasp gnawed at him mercilessly.“Yes,” Ophelia replied happily. “I met Jessica Golden!”“No way!” Olivia sneered, her voice dripping venomous disbelief.“Absolutely impossible! You’re telling me you got face-to-face with Jessica Golden herself? Don’t make me laugh!”“Oh, I did more than meet her,” Ophelia replied with smug triumph, lifting her chin defiantly."Jessica Golden personally handed me the signed contract.”Her words detonated across the room, stunning silence gripping every heart.Philips slammed his hand violently onto the polished mahogany table, eyes blazing with fury."Ophelia, do you seriously think we’re idiots?” he spat viciously."Jessica Golden of the Golden Guild is a titan among the city's elite. Why in God’s name would she lower herself to even glance in your direction? Do you

    Meanwhile, Ophelia stood anxiously in the crowded hall, surrounded by people all impatiently waiting for their appointments.A few guests recognized her right away. Their eyes narrowed with contempt as they leaned toward each other, whispering loud enough for her to hear every cruel word.“Oh look, isn’t that the granddaughter of Viscountess D’Arcy?” one noblewoman said with a sneer, her voice oozing mockery.“The D’Arcy family has one foot in the grave, yet they still shamelessly show up here hoping to grab a piece of the Golden Guild project.”“I heard the old viscountess married her granddaughter off to the poorest baron in Haventon. Pathetic. And now she’s here? Maybe she should be peddling potions in the back alleys instead.”Those bitter words quickly drew attention, and the gathered elite cast scornful eyes at Ophelia, barely hiding their cruel amusement behind silk fans and smirks of mockery.Ophelia tightened her fists till her nails bit deeply into her palms.She muttered so

    Ophelia D’Arcy's voice sliced through the tense air like sharpened ice, her gaze colder than frostbite as she snapped, “I'm sorry, Grandpa Carrillo, but I don’t recall ever needing your help. And watch your filthy mouth! You're old enough to have grandchildren who are my friends—don't you have a shred of dignity left?”Robert Carrillo stood there stunned, his jaw hanging slack in disbelief.Rage and confusion battled across his wrinkled face. “Ophelia, I’m doing you a favor! Why are you still defending this worthless fool? Wake up and see reality—yes, I'm older, but I have wealth that could drown this pathetic bastard. What could he possibly offer you?”Alex Leonhard’s eyes flashed dangerously as he seized a glass from the table and hurled its icy contents straight into Robert's startled face.Dripping with chilling menace, Alex warned softly, “Better wake up, old man. Consider that a kindness—if I'd struck you with my hand, you’d already be dead.”“You insolent bastard!” Robert sputt

    Looking at her parents, who were mercilessly ridiculing Alex Leonhard, Ophelia D’Arcy let out an exasperated sigh. Her voice, trembling with emotion yet fiercely determined, interrupted the mockery.“Dad, Mom, stop blaming Alex for everything. It was my decision. I just can't bear seeing our family mocked and humiliated any longer.”“Haven’t we endured enough shame all these miserable years?"Her voice softened slightly, eyes distant with a glimmer of uncertain hope."Besides, grandmother won't accept any more excuses this time. Someone has to step up to the challenge. Who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon me.”Ophelia’s mother, incredulous and visibly panicked, blurted out harshly, “Have you lost your mind?”“Even if your grandmother herself crawled on her knees, begging at their gates, they wouldn't even glance her way! You’ll bring nothing home but disgrace!”Her father's eyes hardened as he snapped sharply, “Ophelia this time you made a mistake.”From the sidelines, Ale

    Ophelia nearly leaped from her seat in shock, her eyes bulging wide as she whispered harshly, "Alex, have you gone completely mad? It’s utterly impossible! The Golden Guild would never partner with an insignificant family like ours!"But Alex merely smiled, calm and unnaturally confident, his voice steady as he whispered persuasively, "Relax, Ophelia. You’re always saying I’m nothing more than a jobless fool. So why not let this fool try?”“I'll prepare the proposal. It'll carry your name—who knows? Maybe fortune will finally smile upon us.""Alex—" Ophelia hesitated, uncertainty wavering in her voice."Come now, Ophelia," Alex urged more insistently, eyes blazing with unexpected determination."We have nothing left to lose, and everything to gain. At worst, we fail quietly, but at best—we rise triumphantly.”“Besides, look at your grandmother. She’ll erupt into flames if no one steps up."Ophelia felt herself slipping into resignation—after all, they were already at the bottom.What

    “Fine,” Alex exhaled deeply, the weight of guilt hidden beneath his stoic exterior. “Exactly how much is this damned debt?”“Half a million,” Peter replied tersely.“And?” Alex pressed impatiently.“I've settled them all. I refuse to attend university while people whisper that I still owe money.”With a dramatic flourish, Alex swung his bag onto the table, swiftly drawing out half a million dollars in crisp bills and slamming them down.Peter and Yuri stared, mouths agape.“Take this cash and get yourselves to university immediately!”“Where did you get this money?” Yuri gasped, eyes wide with disbelief.“I won it gambling,” Alex smirked devilishly. “Now leave before I gamble it all away again!”Peter snatched the money greedily, gripping it tightly. Yuri paused at the threshold, turning back briefly, whispering softly, “Thank you.”She bolted out into the night.Soon after, Ophelia approached Alex, urgency blazing in her eyes. “Alex, Grandma’s summoned us to the D’Arcy mansion.

    “You're right…” Michael whispered hoarsely, his voice dripping with bitter resignation.He dropped his gaze to the floor, unable to meet anyone’s eyes as he imagined the volcanic fury that would soon erupt from his father and his grandfather Baron Dunsmore.He had utterly destroyed their family’s empire in one reckless move.He could already see their grand barony plunging into poverty, spiraling down into disgrace, just like Alex Leonhard’s pitiful house."I—I have to get home. Immediately," Michael stammered, dread gripping his heart like an iron fist.In no time at all, scandalous whispers stormed through the streets of Haventon, spreading faster than wildfire—The Golden Guild had brutally expelled the proud Dunsmore family.Rumors flew thick and vicious, speculation rife with venom.Though no one knew exactly what grave sin had provoked the Guild’s wrath, it was clear the Dunsmores had committed an unforgivable transgression.Overnight, their vast fortune shriveled, their lofty st
