"You sure took your time,” Lidia voiced out with folded hands before raising her eyebrows at the unfamiliar figure. Ryan was also just arriving from a different direction. He began waving his hand with a smile but all this faded away seeing Viron.Something didn’t just sit well with him.First, it was Art, then the sleepy head, and now this guy!It wasn’t good being the ugliest boy in the group.What would that do to his reputation (« has none)“And you are?” He asked in a deep, not-so-friendly tone.“My name is Viron, nice to meet you.”All of them here looked special and he could also perceive that they were strong, especially the blue-eyed and silver-haired girl who was sitting quietly. But he didn’t see Beatrix.‘Wait! Hmm, he must be from the Thunder family,' Ryan said internally with his hand on his jaw.“It’s our third meeting right, let’s get this over and done with quickly.” Sil nodded in agreement at Lidia’s words.They all proceeded to sit. “So Art, why did you bring him

“What do you think?” Art stared blankly at what she had at hand. He didn’t prioritize fashion didn’t mean he wasn’t interested in it at all.What she held in her hand was a black mask. It was shiny and nicely polished but still, just plain black didn’t sit well. 'Is she trying to make fun of me?' This was the only reasonable explanation as to why she would be giving him this. “Here,” she stretched it further out as he reluctantly took it.Now that he was holding on, he sensed the slight mana the mask was giving out so it wasn’t normal, probably coming with a little stat boost.He decided to check it out with his inspect skill and what he saw caused him to almost drop it.[Name: Aura vision mask][Rank: D][Handling: 520/450][Magic description: Magic— Aura Vision, can normally be used in two ways. First, aura vision is based on the aura emanating from a person or object, making other manaless objects less noticeable. So seeing through walls and other normal materials is possible. I

“I’m still dizzy from that encounter. I better refrain from using that ability when not necessary. I’m too young to grow blind,” Art let out a sigh. He was walking outside where a lot of people were present, idly chatting away. Most of them had their masks off.Rather than uniforms, they were dressed in clothes of different styles, most being flashy and some even traditional. Art went for something more casual.The fact that they had their masks off was something that could’ve led to death a millennia ago, as it was considered an offense to do so during the festival back then.Art never planned on removing his, but at least it was a relief that he didn’t reincarnate back then with all those silly rules.A lot of activities were happening around the school premises and honestly, he would’ve stayed behind just like most of the people he saw with the mask back in the dorm, as participation in the ceremony wasn’t compulsory.But he came out for just one reason and he was now standing in f

The fight up till now had been a tough one with both opponents trying to eliminate each other as soon as possible. And with just four minutes left for the next opponent to arrive, their desperation was justified. But the person who would be victorious already seemed settled.After getting pierced by the finger whose abilities weren’t still clear, Bull Reiner’s movement had kept dulling and with his attribute being a flexible type, which involved the control of the black substance in front of him, he was now having a hard time keeping up.This earned him more slashes from the fingers.“Tch!” Bull Reiner stared at the masked figure approaching him probably with a smile.‘I guess I messed up when I let that first finger touch me. I didn’t even feel the pain, and my strength is being drained continuously. It also seems like his fingers are glowing slightly. Just what the hell is the exact ability of those fingers? I’m going to lose if I don’t do something quickly.’Red redder had gotten t

Over 50 tattoos on his body shattered sending green glass-like fragments flickering around and immediately after, 50 different bladed weapons appeared hovering around him. Lexi held onto two weapons, a spear on his right and a new sword on his left, which replaced the former that was destroyed in the crash. What he just pulled off was impressive, hence, it obviously required a significant amount of mana.Five green shurikens spun towards the red demon-masked man, with Lexi narrowing his eyes to monitor what would happen. And similar to what he expected, the air around 5 different points began to shimmer and condense, which was followed by 5 beams of shockwaves shooting toward the shurikens. Having control over the shurikens, Lexi was able to change their directions mid-air, successfully evading 2 of them from the shockwaves while the other 3 were completely destroyed.He didn’t seem bothered about that in the slightest rather, he had a smile on his face as just that simple exchange
