2026-09-04 21:00:31I thought about it for a bit. I was free anyway, and teaching that useless bastard of a mage a lesson seemed like a good way to spend my time, so I nodded.
“Sure, I’ll go with you guys.”Our group tagged along behind the man, who brought us to the western nook of the city, the red-light district. Management was lax around these parts, so all the dodgy businesses had set up shop here, like gambling dens, brothels, even places to hire contract killers, and so on.

There was furious banging on the door, and it got louder and louder. When we left through the hidden door, I could hear the main door being kicked open from behind me, but I did not have the leisure to turn around and look. I quickly picked a direction and just ran as fast as I could.“Jeremy holds a lot of power here. You should leave the city in that direction. Otherwise, I don't think we'll be able to get away from them.”I nodded and sped up. Several figures were chasing after us from behind, so I did not dare to slow down at all. My survival instincts had been completely ignited at this moment.Fortunately for us, we were able to get out of the city without any problems. I breathed out a sigh of relief as reaching the outside should be somewhat safer for us. Yet even after running for a while, they were still following closely behind in pursuit. I could feel the energy in my body sapping and knew I would not last for much longer if this went on.

“Then what are we still waiting for? Let’s get it done quickly before we decide what to do next,” I urged Doris anxiously, but she had a troubled expression on her face. She looked at Alyshah with a nervous expression.Very quickly, I understood what she meant. If she helped me purge the effects of the drug using the Divine Stone, then her identity would be exposed. Alyshah was a smart and powerful human. I did not want an outcome where she might kill Doris upon discovering her identity.I frowned. I did not dare to make any guesses on how she would react if she found out about Doris, so I decided to probe her about it instead."Madam Alyshah, if, and I’m only saying if I have a way to get us out of this predicament, can you promise me one thing?"Alyshah's eyes lit up when she heard what I said. She looked at me hopefully and exclaimed, “Do you really have a plan? What is it? Jeremy may come back to kill us at any time so you should

"That's right. So you still remember me, I see. I guess that means I still occupy a position in your mind," the man called Jeremy mocked her as he smirked."You're curious, aren't you? About why I'm suddenly here," Jeremy continued talking by himself when he received no response from Alyshah."Let me tell you why, then."His face suddenly twisted into an unpleasant expression."Do you remember when you sent my son to prison? I would not be here in this position today if not for you!"Alyshah frowned, seemingly recalling certain unpleasant events in the past.“Your son was guilty. If I went back in time and was given another chance to choose again, I would still make the same decision as I did then.”“How dare you, I'll kill you!” Jeremy's loud voice burst out and echoed in the room as he locked his hands around Alyshah's neck. He stared daggers at her, watching her writhe and struggle powerlessly in his hands."She was

At the old man’s order, everyone looked through all of the files again. After a long time, everyone hung their heads while facing the old man. None of them were able to find anything.The old man wanted to urge everyone to search again, but that was when the man who broke the door open earlier discovered something in a corner of the archive.He bent over and picked it up, then with a sigh, he brought it to the old man.“I don’t think we should keep looking. I’m afraid Alyshah has already taken the file with her.”As he said that, he handed over to the old man the keys that Alyshah had tossed into the corner. Accepting it, the old man knew that his hopes had been dashed. He shook his head helplessly and dismissed everyone.“I wouldn’t have thought twice about their suggestion, but they had offered to let bygones be bygones if we accepted. I never thought that Alyshah would actually find such a talented boy. If he coul

“Let’s go!”Alyshah tossed the keys into the archive and shut the door behind her with a mischievous grin on her face.“Should you be doing that…?”“What’s wrong? If they can treat me like garbage, then a little prank wouldn’t hurt, would it?”I shook my head. It was an act of revenge well deserved.“Let’s be on our way then.”Before I could even react, Alyshah was already far ahead and I had to run to keep up with her. It was definitely much more relieving to see her act this way.The two of us left Blue Skies Academy unobstructed. Once we were out the door, she turned around to have one last look at the place that she had invested so much time and effort into and sighed.“I don’t feel good about leaving, you know? I’ll miss this place, but I can’t stay here forever. Let’s just hope the future will be bright for them.”I was

By this point in time, Porter was practically begging me, and I too knew the consequences if I completed my Earthquake spell. Naturally, I would be fine given how strong my defenses were, but they were all weak mages and we were inside of a classroom. They would be buried alive if the building collapsed.Since they were willing to voluntarily admit defeat, I could not be bothered to waste my strength. In the first place, I had not planned to push them so far either. I just wanted to scare them with the fact that I was an Adept Magician, that was all. However, I was also confident that I could control my strength well enough that I could merely counter anything they could throw my way, which would be enough to send them a message.After I canceled my spell, the room became eerily silent for a moment and after a while, Porter ended up being the one who broke the silence.“I underestimated you. I never thought that you would already be an Adept Magician despite you
