Chapter 92 – The Engine's Judgment
Chapter 92 – The Engine's Judgment[Powerflow Initiation Engaged.]Max Vale's pupils narrowed as the glowing glyph etched into his mind pulsed to life."Oh, come on... not now," he muttered, barely above a whisper, teeth grinding together in frustration. His fists clenched involuntarily. The Xeon System was moving again. But it wasn't time. He hadn't commanded it. Not here.Before the tour guide could say another word, a tremor of pure mana surged across the engine room.The chamber—constructed like the inside of a dormant metallic beast—suddenly roared to life.A massive cylindrical structure, part of what looked like an ancient tank engine core, vibrated violently. Electrical arcs danced along its armored spine like awakened serpents, and with a sudden pulse of energy, a violet glow bled from every groove and seam.All the trainees and instructors turned to look.Shock.Terror."This place wa

Chapter 91 - Relic of the Lost Dominion"You really have changed..." Matilda muttered, her voice barely audible, as if the words slipped past her lips without permission.Max Vale sat with his shoulders relaxed but his eyes razor-sharp, gazing at her with such unwavering focus that it unnerved her. Matilda felt her throat tighten under his unblinking stare. There was no hint of the meek boy from BB City left in him—not in the way he looked at her, not in the tone of his voice, and certainly not in the weight of his silence."You're not trash anymore," she finally said, voice clipped as she turned her face away. "At least not in the way everyone used to think."Max didn’t answer immediately. He returned his gaze to the sea of clouds beyond the shuttle window. His reflection, clear against the glass, showed a calm he didn’t feel."I don’t know what you think you’re talking about," he replied flatly.Matilda's eyes narrowed. "Still
Chapter 90 – The Rift of Bonds
Chapter 90 – The Rift of Bonds---Dawn broke over BB City with a cool, restless hum as the students stirred from uneasy slumber. The exchange event, a rare occasion meant to weave the fractured threads between schools into a tentative tapestry of camaraderie, was set to begin. Yet, beneath the surface of polite smiles and forced greetings, tension rippled like undercurrents in a storm-tossed sea.Groups had been arranged—hundreds of students clustered in mixed teams, each made up of roughly eight individuals plucked from various academies. It was designed to make them mingle, to coax strangers into hesitant friendships, to break the icy walls forged by rivalry and suspicion.The administration, led by Principal Wren of BB City High, had carefully planned the itinerary. Groups would not swarm any single location, avoiding chaotic crowds by staggering visits across the city’s sprawling sites. While Group A wandered the gleaming towers near the
Chapter 89 – The Reluctant Ember
Chapter 89 – The Reluctant EmberThe thick air of the conference room pressed down on Max Vale as Principal Wren’s expectant eyes bore into him like a predator sizing up its prey. The vice-principal, Mark, stood stiffly beside the older man, his brows knit with uneasy anticipation.“Cut the bullshit, Principal Wren,” Max snapped, a sharp edge in his voice that barely masked his irritation. “What the fuck is it you want from me? Spit it out.”A sardonic smirk tugged at the corners of Wren’s lips, his fingers steepled as he leaned forward, the dim lighting casting shadows across his lined face. “Max, you must understand, Echelon Academy hasn’t produced a worthy representative in ages. The upcoming knowledge exchange is vital. We need someone sharp, someone who can hold our prestige intact and—”Max’s eyes narrowed, cutting him off with a sarcastic tilt of his head. “And you want me to be your golden boy, huh? The school’s fucking savior. Why the hel

Chapter 88 – The Summons of Shadows[Hidden Trial Concluded][Conquer your rivals beneath the same roof]Rewards:> +10,000 Experience Points+5 Attribute Points---Max Vale strode toward the grand hall with a faint, sardonic curl on his lips.Dealing with idiots always comes with its rewards, he mused, the corners of his mouth twitching with dry amusement.---Inside the cavernous, opulent chamber, waves of teenagers flooded through massive double doors. Their garb was as varied as their origins — splashes of color bundled in clusters, each group marking their school with pride.Students from nearby cities, summoned to participate in the infamous exchange event, gathered like a shifting mosaic. Those donning identical colors huddled together, creating clusters of identity amidst the buzzing crowd.At the center of it all, Max sat, coolly observing the sea of y
Chapter 87 – The Price of Submission
Chapter 87 – The Price of Submission“Why the hell are you locking the door?” Whalen’s voice cracked through the stale air, suspicion sharp as a dagger.Max Vale didn’t answer. His fingers clicked the lock into place with a finality that brooked no argument. Slowly, deliberately, he turned his gaze toward Whalen, eyes dark and unreadable.Whalen’s confusion deepened as Max began rolling up his sleeves with a deliberate carelessness. “What’re you doing—folding your sleeves like that?”“So I don’t ruin them with your blood,” Max replied coldly, stepping forward, the weight of menace heavy in his every movement.Whalen’s mind scrambled for sense. Before he could even draw breath, Max was already upon him.“Hey, you worthless trash—” Whalen’s defiant words died as Max’s fist flew like a thunderbolt.BANG!Whalen’s head snapped violently to the left, the impact driving his body sideways like a ragdoll.BAM!<
