Max stood in the quiet dojo, his muscles taut from training. A flicker of amusement crossed his face as he sensed the presence of others outside the door. The muffled voices seeped through the wooden panels, laced with tension and hushed urgency.'Finally grew the nerve to show up, huh?' Max mused inwardly, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. Without hesitation, he strode toward the door and slid it open, revealing the figures waiting outside.Four individuals stood at the entrance—two boys and two girls, all seemingly around his age. He recognized two of them from the crowd that had watched his fight against Aurora, their expressions now a mixture of apprehension and forced confidence. The other two girls, however, were unfamiliar.The moment the doors opened, the conversation among the group came to an abrupt halt. The girl with streaks of black and purple in her hair eyed Max with skepticism before leani

Chapter 94 – Faces of the Forgotten
Chapter 94 – Faces of the ForgottenThe dusty sun hung low over the ancient sprawl of Marrow Market, casting angled rays that filtered through smoke-filled air and awnings of deep indigo and rust red. The air pulsed with the rhythm of footfalls and the clamor of bartering voices. Traders, draped in archaic cloaks, peddled relics, herbs, and artifacts from long-buried civilizations. Magic-infused items glimmered from crooked stalls, catching the eyes of both casual visitors and treasure-seekers alike.A crackle of static flared through the comms bands wrapped around the wrists of the selected group leaders—digital maps encoded into metallic bracelets, tethering them to the zone’s encrypted grid. Max Vale, hood pulled low over his sharp eyes, stood with the group that had branched southwestward, following one of the female leads—a well-dressed girl from Cheryl High. They would reunite with the other three teams in exactly one hour. That was the agreement. But Max alr

Chapter 93 - Relics Beneath the VeilAfter the blast within the ancient ship, the students were swiftly herded to another section of BB City—one known not for violence or hidden weapons, but for something far more subtle: history.Max Vale sat at the back of the bus, quiet, though his name was anything but. The students buzzed like electric wires, hissing out rumors and praise, obsessed with what he had done."He absorbed the beam!""He said it wasn’t that strong, but I swear that thing could've leveled a building!""You think he’s like, indestructible or something?"Max kept his gaze fixed out the window, feigning disinterest. But inside, thoughts were coiling like serpents.He hadn’t expected the ancient spacecraft to be powered up—hell, no one had. The damn thing had been dormant for centuries, and yet, the moment that alien energy surged... something inside him responded.If I didn’t have the defense glyph m

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
