Pursing my lips, I nodded. “Yeah, thanks to you.”"I barely managed to fight off the Walia family head. Thankfully it was across holograms else we would have been crushed to mush.”I turned wide eyed at the unexpected fact.Actually it’s not like I didn’t consider that to be the case but this was just too terrifying, was it really okay for such a hot tempered fellow to hold such power?“No it isn’t. But even the Walia family head is not as terrifying as another.”“What do you mean?”“The Walia family head is still mild when it comes to Blake Family head. That bastard is the real short fuse. Of course, maybe because of the meeting between your father and him a few years ago, he manages to calm down a bit but before then… I dare not recall the horrors of that time.”“Honestly… are they protecting us or they just here to throw their weight around?”I really couldn’t understand it.Even with all their power, they’d rather stay in the tower and lord over everyone as gods while Explorers go

Two days had passed since the meeting with the Family heads.Thankfully things had ended without much trouble.With the damage to my body though, I couldn’t do anything even with the peace I had.It was quite annoying.At least the others could move around but I couldn’t even get out of bed.I tried to yesterday and ended up nearly breaking my back!The pain is truly unbearable, I can’t lie.Unfortunately, based on what the doctors said, I might not be able to do anything until the month of darkness, Astra, was over.Did I really have that much time to waste?I could already foresee my meager skills dropping even further based on how much time it would take for me to get better.Of course, it’s not like I could ignore what they said.Trying to move now was a torture that I wasn’t willing to undergo.I’d rather just stay in bed and wait.Hopefully I won’t be too far behind.Knock…knockThere was a knock at the door, jolting me from my train of thought.Pursing my lips, I replied. “Come

The punishment of the Academy was anything but light.For the wastage of resources, one would be required to work in the mines alongside other criminals of the tower.That’s already enough to let you understand how terrible it is to fail.Of course, unlike the criminals, one would be allowed to return home after five years of active service but them again, when placed in the midst of terrible evil doers, the likelihood of coming out with no problems is close to zero.Hopefully I’d never experience such a thing.Then again, if you passed, that would mean you qualify for the rite of passage.Apparently, the rite of passage is also quite dangerous with more than half of those that go through it, coming out with a mental illness.One of the reasons why the Academy has a very good hospital and also why new recruits are questioned about their mental history.I guess it wasn’t completely useless information.In any case, I looked forward to the ceremony.It would really be an eye opener.Whe

I was unsure how to feel.While I sat on my butt, quaking in my boots, two women had stood up to help me.Even as they were terrified, they didn’t back down and instead, dared to push forward.Once again, I had to wonder if it was right to consider me a hero in the face of such people.But then again, this wasn’t the time to soliloquize.I would do that later.Right now, I can’t let the girls have all the fun, right?Just then, the Headmaster rose to his feet and glared at Leah.Standing upright, he was clearly a foot taller than her, causing Leah to strain her neck to meet his eyes.She took a step back but no more than that.His aura was indeed terrifying but regardless… she stood her ground.“Hoh, little girl, how about repeating what you said again?” The Headmaster remarked casually, his voice carrying an underlying hint of danger.“i… I said you can’t harm us.” Leah muttered.“I see.” The Headmaster turned to Isabella, causing her to stiffen. “And why can’t I harm you lot?”“Be…b

“Before I continue, I’m sure you can understand why your guardians are not here, Veronica, Reginald and Lincoln.” The Headmaster said as he glanced at them.Veronica was the first reply. “Because our families doesn’t have access to the serums.”“Indeed. Which means that calling them here would be a waste of my time, don’t you agree.” The Headmaster inquired.“Mn, it would be a waste of time.” Reginald agreed even though it sounded like he was offended.“Which means you would be taking the serums recommended by me. Of course, you don’t have to worry. As model cadets, you are worthy of the best serums.”“Thank you, Headmaster.” The trio bowed their head before taking a step back.Thinking back to what was just said, wouldn’t that mean that Leila was called because we have access to a serum?Wait, but how?I immediately turned to Leila for answers.Our eyes met and she seemed to understand what I wanted.“Are we to take our wards with us?” Just then, Isabella’s nana spoke up.Despite the

I may be reckless and stupid, but I definitely need to stand by her.“Dad always said that unlike the Great family heads that managed to barely ingest the powers of S-grade Otherworldly, he was lucky enough to go even further and got the powers of a Godspawn.”I couldn’t help but gasp s my eyes flickered at the unexpected fact.In the ranking of Otherworldly, Grade E was the lowest and Godspawn was the highest.Just as it’s name indicated, Godspawn are monsters capable of rivaling the Family heads.Their powers were akin to disasters, capable of destroying everything before them.That’s just how terrifying a Godspawn is.Yet, Dad actually managed to get a Godspawn body part to use in making a serum?Absolutely crazy, I tell you.“The Timeless One. That’s what he called the Godspawn.” Leila muttered before adding. “Just saying it’s title gives me goosebumps.”Indeed it did.I gulped loudly as I stepped forward and say across from her.“Do you really want to do this?” Leila asked.Thoug

Barely suppressing the urge to throw up, I ended up swallowing the whole thing before finally letting out a relieved sigh.That’s step one…. Ah!!!I dropped out of the chair as a terrifying headache came upon me.I barely suppressed the urge to scream even louder as it felt like my body was being reconstructed from the inside out.I could barely make out anything with my eyes, but with my peripheral vision I could just about see Leila watching me while seated, not bothering to come to my aid, a sad look in her eyes.Was this a side effect of downing the serum?I couldn’t even ask as the pain was experiencing was too much for me to handle.At a certain point, it felt like I was leaving my body behind, making me terrified since I thought I was dead.But the feeling soon ended and with it a terrifying image as I watched my body develop holes of all sorts from which works dug in and out of my body.My fingers grew hands and my ears continued ringing.Unable to handle it any longer, I dire

Unfortunately I couldn’t do anything about it and had to keep to my side of the bargain.That was how I came here, to the Academy of the Gifted to receive training to become an Explorer.I didn’t think I’d see his face any time soon but as he stood before me again, the urge to hit him welled up within me.Of course, no matter my grievances, no matter how much I wanted to hurt him, I couldn’t.All because he still had my mother and her life was his to decide what happens to it.As we were led out of the hall, I could only stare at his broad back.A normal daughter would stare in awe at the wide back of her father, but I could only stare in disgust.He was a bastard that I could never feel anything good for.I hate him… I hate him!Soon enough, after almost an hour of walking, we made it to the special room prepared for us and I stepped in followed by Hamilton Blake.Calling him father was a luxury he could enjoy from his other bastard children but never from me.I’d never acknowledge s
