"Have you heard? that guy Theo called Instructor Eva his sister-in-law. It is basic knowledge that she has a single sister, senior Kira! from the third grade!" "Dosen't that mean that guy is senior Kira's husband?" "No way!" Theo shook his head when he stumbled upon this conversation. However, he was completely unbothered. This was the latest news in the whole Academy. When he got to class, he noticed that everybody kept giving him a strange look. As for Kamado, he kept giving him a thumbs up while mouthing inaudible words that he didn't bother comprehending. Currently, his mind was focused on the skill manuals he got from the school library. He couldn't wait for classes to end so he could try them out. Perhaps, his prayers were heard because he somehow felt that time began moving three times faster. After three boring classes of Geography, Magic Armament analysis and History, the bell rang for lunch break. "You coming for lunch?" Kamado asked."I'll skip" Theo rejected. W

The next day, Theo went to the logistics department in the Academy to file for a leave.Judy volunteered to refine the pills and even provide ninety five percent of the ingredients.However, she didn't have the last three ingredients, which happened to be the most crucial ones.Without them, the Marrow purging pill couldn't be refined. Judging by the way Judy described them, Theo was certain that they couldn't be bought, even if you had enough money.As such, he decided to join the Magic Knights Association. Maybe, if his luck was good, he might stumble upon one of the ingredients among a ruin's loot."Remember, three months time is the Academy's excursion. I heard that the ruins once belonged to a runechemist. If you miss this opportunity, i doubt you'd ever find one in your life again" the fatty behind the counter advised Theo, while handing him the pass permit."I'll be sure not to miss it" Theo wouldn't even miss the excursion even without the fatty's warning.Although he smelt so

Ruins.. there were two types of them. Inheritance Ruins and Spatial Ruins. Spatial Ruins although were seen as a source of great fortune for Knights, they were regarded as terror to civilians. Once upon a time, there was a strange phenomenon where the gates leading to these ruins burst open, releasing the terrifying alien race onto humanity. Many lives were lost. However, a brave band of warriors known as the Anti Race movement began resisting the invasion. When they finally succeeded, they were celebrated as global heroes and became the first Knights. It wasn't Theo's first time exploring a ruins, howevever, the ones in the past had a different feel, compared to the one he was currently exploring. Although regarded as a ruins, it was actually an independent world. However, there was no sun or moon and the skies were riddled with tiny glittering stars. Chop! Chop! Chop! Graham sliced trees after trees as he led his squad in a steady advance.Everybody was stern, their ears

"Fortune Dragon?" Theo repeated.-[It is a Fortune Dragon! it's a real fortune Dragon!] Izreel's tone excited. "Is the fortune dragon amazing?" Theo enquired sceptically. -[Amazing? you have no idea. They are the offsprings of the great Wish Dragon! they understand the great mysteries of the world. No fortune can hide before their discerning eyes. By just moving an inch, they can discover millions of treasure troves!] "Ole dragon say, aren't you exaggerating a bit?" "-[t is no exaggeration. There is only one per universe. Ah! your luck is too good to stumble on the temple of a Fortune Dragon!] "Hehe. Maybe lady luck keeps favouring me because of my good looks?" Theo smiled shyly.-[You wish! do you know that you are half as handsome as a pig?] Izreel scorned. "Atleast, i am twice as handsome as you ever will be"-[What did you just say brat?!] "Nothing! i was just tripping for your suaveness and awesome bearing"-[Tsk. What a glib tongue]Theo walked over to the huge gate. Howe

The whole hall fell silent. The words "ten thousand dynocores' kept ringing in the ear of everyone present."Tsk. I have bidded already, why haven't you announced the result?" that same old croaky voice snorted with displeasure.Benito finally got a grip of herself."Strange painting going for ten thousand dynocores""Going once.. going twice..""Fifteen thousand!" Theo hurriedly screamed at the top of his lungs.He didn't quite believe Gusu at first, but after witnessing somebody bidding heavily on the strange painting, he had to reconsider.The crowd who were about to recover from their shock, fell into another mire again.Damn! was money that easy to find?! At a secluded corner in the hall, an old lady with a hunched back scanned the whole hall grimly. Besides her was a teenage boy with sinister eyes."Grandma, i thought we are the only ones aware of the Ancestral painting?" the sinister youth frowned.His name was Nero.Granny Busiwa squinted her eyes."It is not entirely impossib
