The late afternoon sky had begun to fade, allowing golden-yellow light to spill over the Ackerman family training arena. The air, usually crisp and fresh, now felt colder, casting a thin mist across the sandy ground. Around the arena, several noble students had gathered with curious expressions, whispering quietly as they occasionally glanced toward the two boys preparing to duel. The tension in the air was thick—so much so that even the usually cheerful students seemed subdued.

Isaac stood slightly hunched, facing Edgar who stood upright and proud before him. His face remained flat, almost lazy, as if he didn’t care about what was about to happen. His eyes scanned Edgar from top to bottom—his blue robe, his wavy hair, and that confident expression that suggested he believed the world belonged to him. Isaac already knew what was in Edgar’s mind. This wasn’t just training. This was a battle for pride.

Edgar eyed him, evaluating. “What, scared?” he said with a mocking tone, though he kne

  • Episode 47: The Mysterious Conversation of the Professors

    That night, the air inside Avalon Academy felt so silent and heavy, as if the old stones in the corridor walls held secret whispers that never ceased to echo. The crystal lights hanging from the ceiling glimmered dimly, reflecting golden light that swayed slowly with the cold breeze from a small open window.Isaac stepped quietly, his leather shoes almost silent on the cold marble floor. Curiosity surged within his chest, while restless thoughts spun endlessly. “What is really happening behind these walls?” he murmured inwardly, his sharp eyes staring at the heavy wooden door that was slightly ajar.Suddenly, whispers broke from behind the door. Isaac immediately stopped, pressing his body against a stone pillar in the dark corner. His breath trembled, and his heart pounded like a war drum. He squinted, trying to catch every word faintly heard but full of tension.“That magic... is truly stronger than we imagined,” came the heavy voice of Professor Valdor, full of seriousness and a hi

  • Episode 46: Victory Reward – Access to the Ancient Archives:

    ---The heavy wooden door creaked open slowly, releasing a low rumble that echoed off the ancient stone walls. Isaac’s hand hovered above the faintly glowing rune carvings, as if summoning something from the dark depths beyond. His breath caught briefly as he stepped inside the ancient archive room, a place that until now had only existed as a myth in the minds of ordinary students.The room was dim. Mana crystal lights hung from the ceiling, casting a soft blue glow that danced among the old wooden shelves crowded with scrolls and leather-bound books that looked fragile and thick with dust. The scent of old parchment and long-extinguished candles filled the air, lending a mystical and almost sacred atmosphere.Isaac’s eyes roamed, sharp and attentive to every detail: fine dust falling as he shifted a scroll, cracks in the stone walls surrounding the room like whispering secrets. “This is... more than just a library,” he murmured inwardly, his voice barely audible amid the eternal sil

  • Episode 12: Mana Control Training

    The morning air in Isaac’s pavilion was cloaked in a thin mist. Dew still clung to the large glass windows, reflecting the orange light sneaking in from the eastern horizon. In the middle of the dim and quiet room, a ten-year-old boy sat cross-legged, barely breathing. Eyes closed. Hands resting on his knees. His face was serious—completely unlike the lazy expression he usually wore in front of his family.His forehead glistened with sweat despite the cold air. His chest rose and fell slowly. A drop of blood dripped from his nostril, but he didn’t move.“Just a bit more... just a little more,” Isaac thought, gritting his teeth behind closed lips.Mana coursed through his body like a warm current, spiraling from his core, circling through his arms, down to his legs, rising again to his head, and ending at his chest. He had shaped that spiral himself, using a pattern once employed by the Archdemons to heal grave wounds.“This body is weak... but it can be trained. I just need... to endu

  • Episode 44: Betrayal and Test of Loyalty

    Angin menderu kencang, mengguncang pepohonan dan mengaduk debu dari tanah tandus. Di dataran luas dan tandus, Zephar, Sang Pengendali Angin, berdiri tegak dan ramping. Matanya yang tajam menatap tajam ke arah Isaac dengan kebencian yang membara, tubuhnya yang kurus kering dipenuhi dengan kekuatan yang tak terkendali. Angin berputar-putar di sekelilingnya, memanggil elemen-elemen di bawah komandonya untuk bersiap berperang.Isaac menatap mata Zephar dengan tenang. "Apa yang ingin kau buktikan?" Suaranya tenang, tetapi kilatan di matanya yang merah menunjukkan kesiapannya menghadapi bahaya yang akan datang.Zephar mencibir. “Aku tidak percaya transformasimu, Isaac. Kekuatan barumu itu hanyalah ilusi. Kau hanyalah bayangan Maximus yang pernah kita kenal. Kali ini, aku akan memastikan kau hancur menjadi debu.”Dengan gerakan cepat, Zephar mengangkat tangannya, melepaskan hembusan angin kencang yang diarahkan ke Isaac. Tekanan udara menekannya dengan kuat, tetapi Isaac tetap teguh. Kekuata

  • Episode 43

    Arena yang tadinya riuh itu kini sunyi senyap. Penonton yang menyaksikan pertarungan antara Isaac dan Malgor berdiri membeku, dicengkeram oleh ketegangan yang memenuhi medan pertempuran melingkar itu. Angin panas membawa bau belerang, bercampur dengan debu yang beterbangan di udara.Isaac berdiri tegap, tubuhnya dihiasi luka dan goresan, tetapi matanya menyala dengan tekad yang tajam. Tangan kanannya terangkat, berdenyut dengan cahaya biru yang berdenyut seperti detak jantung. "Kau tahu, Malgor," katanya dingin, "pengkhianatanmu telah menyakitimu lebih dari yang kau sadari. Biar kutunjukkan padamu."Lingkaran sihir bercahaya muncul di sekitar Isaac, memancarkan energi yang menembus pikiran Malgor. Panglima perang yang menjulang tinggi itu, yang dulunya memerintah dengan mata merah menyalatiba-tiba goyah. Pedang besarnya terlepas dari genggamannya, jatuh ke tanah dengan bunyi gedebuk yang menggelegar."Apa ini?!" Malgor meraung, suaranya serak karena panik. Ia memegangi kepalanya, seol

  • Episode 42: The Traitor’s Trail

    Isaac berjalan di sepanjang jalan berbatu yang dingin, udara padat dari alam iblis menggigit kulitnya. Langit di atas berwarna abu-abu gelap, berputar-putar dengan awan yang bergulung-gulung yang kadang-kadang meledak dengan kilat merah, memecah kesunyian dengan guntur yang mengancam. Sisa-sisa kehancuran masa lalu berserakan di mana-mana—menara yang hancur, sisa-sisa kerangka raksasa, dan kota-kota yang runtuh yang tampaknya meneriakkan kisah-kisah sejarah yang tragis. Namun fokus Isaac tetap pada jejak samar di tanah berlumpur—jejak kaki yang dalam dan berat. "Ini hanya milik satu makhluk... Malgor." Isaac mengepalkan tinjunya, matanya menyipit karena kebencian yang membara. "Kau pernah bersumpah setia, Malgor. Apa yang membuatmu mengkhianatiku?"Ketika akhirnya dia mendekati benteng Malgor, dia berhenti sejenak untuk mengamati dari balik bayangan reruntuhan yang runtuh. Benteng itu menjulang tinggi, dinding-dindingnya yang hitam dipenuhi duri-duri tajam. Di atas gerbang utama, lam
