Christopher Balrand, one of the three teachers of the First Years classes, stood behind a thick and transparent wall, his narrowed locked onto Rodrick.After his ‘powers’ ran out of control, the burly student was immediately brought to an interrogation room under the Administrative Bureau Building of Erys.He had been suspected to be one of the students whose powers were strengthened through outside and illegal substance use, and his battle against Zeke was more than enough proof to lock him up. In fact, it was within Principal Solas’s authority to hand Rodrick to the Department of Defense and make them deal with the rest, but that would cause the youth to be inhumanely tortured to extract information.“We’re not allowed to use violence. How are we supposed to make him talk?”The hooded John, one of the members of the Special Investigation Squad, was displeased with how they were treating Rodrick. He stood next to Christopher and grumbled loudly, but the teacher turned a deaf ear.Upo

‘Botanist and Scholar Ezekiel Whitefort: Introductory book I: Herbology. The Rah’Ioa Thorns: An uncommon type of plant, categorized as a Medical Herb for its healing properties. First discovered in Year 2108, the Rah’loa Thorns grow in swampy areas in which the specimen known as Poisonous Sea Lion lives. In its raw state, the thorn could inflict unprepared people with a lethal poison that would kill them within hours. However, if processed correctly and using the appropriate alchemical method, it could transform into an expensive and highly-sought ingredient. Studies have shown that this plant can live up to fifty years, but its low reproductive rate and the unique climate it needs to sustain itself makes it extremely difficult to find, especially in a usable state. The Rah’loa Thorns have a deep black shade on the bottom and are always as green as grass itself, thus making them hard to spot. The Rah’loa Thorns can be used in many ways: When burnt at a temperature of 195 degrees,

“Are you sure about your decision?”Freya caressed Amelia’s hair as she asked again. It has been since the young girl was discharged from the hospital situated in the middle of nowhere. Neither the commander, Jennifer, nor Freya had forced Amelia to stay in the Witch Association nor train under their tutelage. They give her multiple choices and, eventually, Amelia agreed to stay and learn from the best.In fact, Amelia could have gone to the prestigious academy in the capital of the Witch Association. This academy was no less inferior to Erys, but it only had female students and the overall number of students was significantly less than Erys or the school in the Serey Zhan Empire. However, in return, each and every student was incredibly talented.“Alright. From this point forth, you are my and Jenny’s student.”“I’ll be in your case.” Replied Amelia while politely bowing her head.Once the brief conversation came to an end, the sulking Jennifer sitting behind her desk stood up. She

“I-I will talk!”Fylard was unlike Rodrick, who had kept his mouth shut and refused to disclose the truth. Fylard Yak, whose Rank had been ‘stolen’ by Azmer, was a cowardly and shrewd individual. However, he disliked pain and punishment, so much so that he would sell anyone to save his skin. Therefore, when he found himself in an isolated and dimly lit interrogation room, he started panicking and immediately uttered those words.Facing him was Professor Nayro, whose beady and jelly and pupilless black eyes were squirming like worms.Seeing the Zyth’s piercing stare, Fylard unconsciously swallowed some saliva and then spilled the beans.“I-It was a classmate of mine, Maxwell Lepard. He…he gave me some sort of drug that enhances one’s ability when consumed. I tried asking him where he got it from but he never answered. T-...t-that’s the truth! I swear!”“Do you still have that drug?”“I stashed some in the alleyway between Building A and Building B. It’s right under the window of the 2

“This… you…” Vans Valort pinched his temples and sighed as he saw the unconscious bodies lying near the black van. He tried to say something to the stoic youth but eventually gave up and called his colleagues. Of course, he made sure to handcuff all of them to eliminate any possibility of escape. It was clear that, whoever had orchestrated this, never took into account Zeke’s abilities. Maybe they had underestimated him, or simply never expected him to retaliate so fiercely. “Every time I meet you, there’s something going on. Haaah! And I thought my son was a troublemaker…” “Don’t feel so down, sir. Catching so many bad guys, isn’t that what police officers do?” Vans shook his head and let out a self-deprecating laugh, “Apart from their weapons, they have nothing on them. Clearly, it wasn’t just a simple assault. I will assig-” “There’s no need, detective Valort. I can take care of myself.” Seeing the youth’s adamance, the man sighed again and reluctantly nodded. He already knew
