Chapter 61: The System Left
Chapter 61: The System Left "Since I am already familiar with Master Kieran, I shall visit him first," Kael decided, navigating the labyrinthine corridors.[System Notice: That is not the way to the Military Department. I suggest you use the Teleport Wristband or the map for directions.]Kael sighed, shaking his head. He had been walking down this hallway for what seemed like an eternity. Only upon reaching a dead end did his system notify him he was heading in the wrong direction.He was hesitant to use the Teleport Wristband, as he hadn't mastered it yet, but he had completely forgotten about the map. Turning back, he began studying the Wristband, eventually figuring out how to activate the map. Following its guidance, Kael trudged along, his eyes fixed on the Wristband’s display.After what felt like hours, he arrived at a familiar intersection—the very same one he had started from."Seriously?!" Kael exclaimed in frustration. He had walked in circles, and the map had led him rig

Chapter 62: Rigors of Training
Chapter 62: Rigors of Training Kael awoke with a start, the first light of dawn seeping through the narrow window of his room. He bolted upright, realizing he had overslept. A quick glance at the sun's position told him he was already late. His heart pounded as he threw on his training attire: a dark, simple tunic, sturdy trousers, and leather boots. Hastily securing his sword at his side, he dashed out the door, his mind racing with a mix of anxiety and determination.The training grounds were already bustling with activity when Kael arrived. Rows of students were engaged in synchronized drills, their movements crisp and coordinated. Master Kieran stood at the forefront, his presence commanding respect. Kael attempted to slip into the back of the formation, hoping to avoid notice, but Master Kieran's keen eyes missed nothing."Stoneforge!" Master Kieran's voice cut through the morning air, stern and unyielding. "You are late. In my training, punctuality is paramount."Kael's cheeks

Chapter 63: Rigors of Training II
Chapter 63: Rigors of Training IIVarek pressed forward, each strike coming with brute force. Dogo parried the blows, his sword moving with a dancer’s grace. He countered with a series of rapid thrusts, his blade a blur as he aimed for Varek’s weak points. The larger boy grunted, blocking the attacks but finding it hard to land a solid hit on his nimble opponent.The crowd watched in silence, their attention riveted on the duel. Dogo’s agility was impressive, his movements a perfect blend of offense and defense. He danced around Varek, using his speed to stay out of reach while delivering precise strikes. Varek’s frustration was evident, his swings becoming more erratic and desperate.Dogo saw an opening and lunged forward, his sword aimed at Varek’s shoulder. Varek barely managed to parry, the force of the blow pushing him back. The two continued to exchange blows, their swords clashing with a metallic ring that echoed across the training ground. Despite Varek’s strength, Dogo’s agil

Chapter 64 : Master Servant Contract***"Greetings.""What is it you desire?""I've come to apologize for my actions five days past.""This marks the third time you've sought my forgiveness, and I am not deaf.""True, you possess ears, but I am resolute in my intent to remain until my apology is accepted, Kael."Slowly, he turned his gaze toward her, his black eyes piercing into her blue ones. She was the girl he had nearly strangled in the labyrinth. The girl who had cast the Spatial Loop Magic, and the same one he had stumbled upon making out in the restroom where he had warped into.Kael, being taller than her, required her to look up to meet his gaze. Beneath his pupils lay a murderous intent, the desire to choke her to death. He quickly looked away, his hands tucked into his pockets."I harbor no grudge against you, so cease being a pest," Kael replied coldly, causing her lips to curl into a faint smile."Of course, you hold no grudge against me, which is precisely why I stand

Chapter 65: The Basic Classroom"Do you have any objections?""No, Professor Astrid," the students replied in unison. Professor Astrid was responsible for guiding the basic students, assisting them in any way she could.The basic students were those with no apparent talents and those who had yet to discover their abilities."Let us proceed," she said, turning to the blackboard. Her long silver hair was tied back in a neat bun. With a flick of her wand, she wrote on the board, the chalk sparkling with a soft blue glow."Today, we shall cover the fundamentals of magic," she said, her eyes twinkling with enthusiasm as she noticed a presence and quickly turned to the door.Two figures made their way into the classroom, their gazes fixed on Professor Astrid."I am pleased to welcome Miss Freya and Kael Stoneforge to my class," she said, smiling brightly. Freya smirked, finding it disrespectful that the professor addressed her master so casually."My apologies for the tardiness. If not for

Chapter 66: The Challenge
Chapter 66: The Challenge **Kael's Room**"What was that all about?" Kael asked Freya. She sat on the bed, her tunic beside her, while he perched on the reading table."What was what about?" she retorted, causing Kael to scoff."Thou wouldst feign ignorance.""I know, but I am not prepared to speak of it," she replied, and Kael stood."Thou knowest what? I should have ignored thee instead of being dragged into thy mess.""Our mess. Thou art my master, and I thy servant. Thy troubles are mine, and mine are thine," she said, turning to face him."Thou usest me to free thyself from whatever clutches ensnare thee. I am sorry if thou art disappointed," he said before leaving the room."Disappointed," she mumbled to herself. "I am sorry I cannot reveal anything to thee, Kael, but I expect no disappointment from thee." She sobbed quietly, clutching the bedsheet as Dogo entered the room.She quickly jumped up and grabbed her tunic."What art thou doing in my room, miss?" Dogo inquired."I am

Chapter 68: The Duel II“Wanna surrender?” Mei Ling asked with a smirk which infuriated Qin Feng the more. “I underestimated you, Mei Ling. You proved to be a worthy opponent but now you'll face my wrath.” Qin Feng declared when he flinged one sword towards Mei Ling who reacted by flinging his two axes. Qin Feng slapped the two axes away with his sword while Mei Ling caught the sword by the blade and twirling it when he held it at the right position as the two faced each other. “Mei Ling.. This is your end.” Qin Feng declared when he stabbed the ground with his sword causing a straight line to appear on the ground heading towards Mei Ling. “Swordsman Technique: Earth Flare.” Qin Feng cried out when he twisted the sword stabbed to the ground causing dozens of blades to flare up all heading towards Mei Ling’s direction.

Chapter 69 [Military Department VS The Basic Class] “Kael Stoneforge.” The four students exclaimed all at once as they stated at the figure standing in their middle with a surprise look. “Hehehe.. That was a lame attack you threw there. I was able to deflect it with a single strike.” Kael chuckled lightly when a smirk appeared on his face. “I'm 100% sure you aren't the one that deflect the attack Kael. What can a looser like you do?” Qin Feng asked causing the others to burst laughing. Even Mei Ling didn't believe that it was Kael who had saved him from his brutal fate. “Hmph.” Kael inhaled heavily and placed his both hands in his pocket. “Master.. You're wonderful.. Show them that they're the looser not you.” Freya screamed out her lungs and Kael chuckled. “My Servant has spoken.. The four of you against me… afterall, I'm a basic class student… I can't watch you imbecile….” He couldn't complete his speech when Ming charged against him at once with a loud cry when he leapt int

Chapter 70: Kael Won
Chapter 70: Kael Won “Why did you save me?” “Why would I save you?” “I don't know. Maybe you want to prove that you're not a looser.” Mei Ling answered causing Kael to chuckle. They were both standing at the window of the Basic Classroom staring at the sun which was setting. “Prideful but not selfish. What a twist individual you're.” “I'm not proud. I just dislike you.” Mei Ling stated. “Why? Oh.. I get. Because I'm a Noble. You dislike all nobles isn't it? and your request is for the commoners to be in the same standard with the nobles.” Kael explained and Mei Ling smirked. “Who will thought you're this smart?” He asked prompting Kael to let out a short laughter. “You can never tell.. Afterall, I was abandoned by someone I needed the most, so I've to work things out by myself.” “Whatever.. It doesn't change the fact that you saved not just me but the whole Basic Class and Professor Astrid. I owe you one and I'm ready to pay to make us even.” Mei Ling said to him. “How abou
