"Haahh…Haahhh…Haaahhh…" Inside the bathroom, Ivo was leaning against the mirror in front of him. His hand held the sink to support his body.
His current condition was dire. His face showed a distorted expression with messy breathing. His body trembled uncontrollably and cold sweat covered his entire body.
The tap water ran down his head to various parts of his body. All of his clothes were now soaked with water. His state was very pitiful if other people saw it.
Brak!!!
A fist shattered the mirror in front of him. Fresh red blood flowed from his hand mixed with the water in the sink.
it hurts!!!
it hurts!!!
it hurts!!! It hurts so much!!!
Ivo held his head and his body fell to the floor because he lost his bearings. The extremely terrible pain came non-stop. Nausea churned all over his stomach. It felt like he was about to spit out his entire insides.
"KhuK…This can't… continue." Ivo raised one of his hands with all the strength he had. Slowly but surely, his hands were brought to his head and gripped tightly as if afraid to let go.
At this point, if he didn't do something he would go crazy from this pain. No, going crazy would be better because his mind would become completely irrational. But since yesterday he realized one very important problem.
The reason he was able to stave off madness and stay sane all the time was because of the heart of fearlessness that forced his mind to stay sane all the time. He thought this might have good repercussions in holding his current condition until he can adapt perfectly to the talents he has. But the world is not as beautiful as he thought.
The decisions he made ultimately had disastrous consequences. At first, they were just faint sounds that were so distorted he ignored them, but right now they were as clear as they were right beside his ears.
'Why? why do I have to be in pain like this?'
'Isn't it unfair that only someone like me feels this pain?'
shut up!!!
'Look at me, I know everything about this world but why only I have to suffer like this'
'I have a Heart of fearlessness!!! Fear is not something that is in my dictionary. There is nothing in this world that I fear. Nothing can scare me!'
'I have Perfect mana sense!!! In this world, I am the most genius Magician. Even someone like Veronica Ashburn is nothing to me."
'I have a Distortion body!!! Even if I commit the world's worst crime, No one in this world will know about it.'
shut up!!! SHUT UP!!! Bastard. Shut up!!!. Ivo screamed at the top of his lungs inside his head. He wanted to get rid of those negative thoughts but it did nothing.
Like pouring oil on a fire, the noises did not stop but grew crazier.
'Destroy it! Destroy all who are not like me.'
'Kill! Kill! Kill all who oppose me!'
Distorted thoughts appeared one after another without stopping.
Heart of fearlessness is a skill that is very different from others.
In this world, all humans have fear within them. It doesn't matter how intelligent a person is, how strong that person is, or even how wise a person is, they all have fear.
Fear of heights, fear of darkness, fear of someone stronger than him, and so on. Even the strongest people in the world have fear within them.
But the Heart of fearlessness makes this concept non-existent for the owner. It was just a simple concept that existed in all living things but with this heart, it was eliminated
If analogous to modern understanding, this is like a robot that can think about anything in the world that is given free will to do whatever they want. But the robot is not given a simple logic that limits itself. Has no emotions and no boundaries
Since there was no limit, the robot started making negative thoughts, and in the end, it started thinking about how to destroy this world. There have even been cases like this where it happened in the real world.
That's what happened to Ivo at this point. The Heart of fearlessness dislodged the fear within him. Because of that, all kinds of thoughts appeared and disappeared in his head. Coupled with the pain he had been experiencing for the past 2 days, negative thoughts dominated his mind.
His condition is exacerbated by his current environment. Moreover, that last incident where the release of an unreasonable amount of mana happened right in front of him.
Although, he didn't feel any fear at that time. His mana senses were completely shocked which made him feel his brain explode.
Negative thoughts come in endlessly the next moment like a leaky dam. If this continued his personality would soon become twisted.
Because of that, Ivo was forced to do this.
"Haahh…haahhh…I have to start." A stream of mana flowed through his hand straight toward his head. Blue-colored lines slowly formed from his fingertips and penetrated into his head.
"Ugh…" Ivo endured the pain coming from the top of his head. This pain is still not as big as what he has because of the clash of talents he has.
'More… It's still not enough.' The mana current flowed faster and formed more blue threads that penetrated his head.
Gradually the black eyes turned into those of a dead man. His senses had become dull, at this point he couldn't even feel the mana flowing through the air like before.
The pain inside his head slowly disappeared. Ivo lay weak on the bathroom floor.
After a while. Ivo got up from the floor. His hands supported his body so he wouldn't fall again.
"Unlucky. Even after sealing my mana sense, the pain still lingers."
Ivo raised his hand and formed a small green magic circle on his hand.
Greenlight fell all over his body. All the pain that remained in him diminished gradually. Stamina and strength that were depleted earlier slowly began to be replenished. The torn wound on his hand was also slowly starting to close.
Nature healing. universal healing magic. Even though this spell is very weak in the category of healing spells, it is quite useful due to its very low mana consumption.
"I have to be really careful this time." Dulling almost all the senses in his body was an extremely dangerous and also extremely foolish action. Doing this is like walking in the middle of the city wearing nothing while carrying a large banner saying [KILL ME please]
Ivo slowly got up without any trouble at all. He looked at his reflection in the broken mirror and dusted off the dirt and clothes.
'Information panel' Ivo said from his thoughts.

There are some minor changes compared to before. His current status values were balanced on all sides. The mana stat increased even more thanks to the 18 hours of training I did earlier.
Magic codex is a collection of all magic that can be used by users perfectly. Of course, this is just a concept that belongs to the player. But don't be wrong, the magic codex only has a note-taking function. No other functions.
Ivo looked at the status. "about 5 hours. I have to endure that long."
"Besides adding the magic codex to the skill and dropping the race. Nothing to worry about."
Ivo immediately ran to the next exam venue. "There's no more time I can waste."
…
In room A-12. The exam is still running without any problems.
All of the examinees were still taking the questions very seriously and were constantly turning page after page to make sure their answers were correct.
Only the sound of pen and paper accompanied the exam atmosphere in the room.
Except for one person.
In the corner of the room, A man looked bored at the academy grounds. Unlike the others, he didn't even touch the paper on his desk. there wasn't even a single writing utensil on his desk at all.
The paper is blank with no answer. He lost interest immediately after seeing the questions being laid out.
The rules state that examinees cannot leave the room unless they have finished or the exam time is up.
If not for that rule, he would have gone outside by now.
Because there was nothing to do for 3 hours later, so he only looked at the beautiful scenery outside.
"Hah… !!!" The trace of boredom vanished from his face turning into a serious expression. His senses became extremely sharp as if he caught something very familiar.
He immediately stood up and looked outside. There, Ivo was running pretty fast.
Her gaze could not be taken off him. Traces of gray light could be seen from his eyes.
After a few moments, Ivo disappeared from his sight
"Is something wrong?" The examiner gave him a strange look. Not only he, but all of the examinees were also looking at him.
"No. No problem. I just want to submit my test paper." He said it dryly as if he had lost interest again at this point. His hand was placed on the test paper in front of him.
The supervisor showed a puzzled expression. "Submit your test? Are you taking this test as a joke?" Before he could continue the person was already in front of him.
"Please check yourself, sir." He placed his test paper on his desk.
"..!!! What?" Contrary to his expectations, the paper was full of complex answers to every question.
"Hey, Tung… Huh? Where is he?" The supervisor looked even more confused at this point. That person had already disappeared as if he wasn't there from the start.
He cast various detection magics and noticed that the person was already outside and walking leisurely.
For a moment the overseer let out a relieved expression. There was no way anyone could suddenly appear and disappear without being detected. Maybe he just left without saying anything.
"What did you guys see? Do you want to fail?" A cold voice awakened all the examinees.
They immediately shook their heads in rejection. their eyes were directed back to the paper in front of them and continued to do the exam.
"Should be here." Ivo arrived in front of a large white hall. It was a large and majestic hall that could easily accommodate over 10,000 people.Without hesitation, he immediately entered the hall. Inside, only one person was sitting casually eating potato chips.Several books floated in the air and flipped by themselves according to the person's will. While reading his book, he asked Ivo who had just entered the hall."What is it? Are you guys lost?"Ivo caught his breath before answering. "No sir, I just want to continue the final test."The person asked curiously. He looked at the watch in his pocket. "Continue with the test? The written test is still not finished. Come back later with the others."Before Ivo could answer, he continued his questioning. "What made you believe that you could start the test earlier anyway?"Ivo answered cautiously. He couldn't cause trouble with the person in front of him with his current strength. If he said something wrong his life could be lost at
Ivo appeared in the middle of a very dense forest. Various kinds of trees towered and their leaves formed a canopy that could block sunlight from entering the forest.It's like entering a tropical rainforest. It looked beautiful and calming but Ivo knew there were all sorts of unknown dangers here.Recalling, the third test was never explained clearly by the supervisors. They only said that this test was a point hunt, but did not say the essence of this test.SurviveEven though it sounds unreasonable, this is a survival test set up by the white snow academy. A cruel test that throws all the trash that is not worthy of entering the academy.White Snow Academy only accepts as many as 100 people each year. With more than 1,000 people who took the second test, it's not surprising that the test takers will try their hardest to become one of the 100 people.This is why this test is called a survival test."I have to get out of this forest." Ivo started walking towards the north. Even thoug
Tringgggg…..Tringgggg….The sound of the bell echoed throughout the room where the second test was being held. The examinees handed over their test papers to the overseer and they left the room one by one."Haaahhh ... Those questions don't make sense.""Don't say anything about the test just now. None of the material I studied came out in those questions."People talk a lot about the second test that was carried out. Even though they had expected the exam questions to be difficult, they didn't expect it to be that difficult.Inside the classroom, Raven was tidying up her stationery. His face showed a bitter expression."Why? Are you not sure you can pass this entrance test?" The person next to him teased him. His face showed a smile as if he was not alone in this world."No, I'm sure I can get good grades on this second test it's just…" He wasn't sure how to put his feelings into words right now.He was a regressor. People who returned to the past from the future. This should be an e
The academy hall was the gathering place for all the students when there were various important announcements, parties, and banquets. With a hall capacity that could accommodate around 10,000 people, the academy hall boasted great splendor.Currently, the academy's hall is used to carry out the academy's final test. Thus, there were only examiners inside the academy hall."Wow… this place is really big and very spacious.""Right. Even the carvings and architecture of this hall are truly magnificent."Almost all the participants were amazed by the sight in front of them. To those ordinary people, seeing the magnificent buildings of White Snow Academy was a completely new experience for them."I should be able to enter the academy. It's the only way to change my fate."Elvin is one of them. He comes from an ordinary family without any background. Since childhood, he has had a higher mana sensitivity and is very fluent in performing magic compared to other children his age.Living in Ern
"This is an opportunity to change my life. I have to pass this final test." Elvin said these words over and over again in his heart. He listened carefully to Argon explanation. His right hand tightly gripped the longsword hanging from his waist. A small silver pin hung from his chest.Not only him, everyone tightly gripped their respective weapons in their hands. They did not miss a single explanation from the person in front of them.Even though many of them entered the white snow academy with different goals and interests, they all still wanted to be accepted into the academy. It's a dream that almost everyone here has."Now let's take a look at the points you've earned so far. This is the ticket that will get you into this academy." Argon waved his hand. The screen behind her slowly changed to show the names of the people who took the entrance test into White Snow Academy.The screen was a projection of the magic used by Argon. For a pure magician like himself, he didn't need any m
The screen paused and showed the top five rankings covered in black as before."Okay. You already know what your rank is. 1000 people…no, 999 people should be ready to take this last test. But before I start the test, I will give you one interesting thing first."Argon snapped his finger, Three lights emitted a bright light like a beacon radiating up to the roof of the academy hall."...??""What's this?""..."Everyone looked at the 3 people, the light emitted from the three was so bright that even people outside the hall could see light.Argon showed a sly smile on his face. "This is a privilege that the top five rankers have. Those in the top five will light a red beacon to identify them. When it is lit, all forms of camouflage and concealment magic will not work.""You can think of them as fluffy sheep or golden tickets that will take you straight into the academy." Argon said casually while swinging the staff he had in his hand. He looked at everyone who was there.His wand point
Raven was shocked when he saw what was in front of her eyes. His pretty eyes trembled when he saw him. He could no longer express what he was feeling right now.Happy? No, when he looked at the screen those feelings disappeared.Amazed? No, if it were normal people, they would definitely be very happy when they had such high points.Raven knows what others don't. He understood very well how this point system worked. Many people thought of those points as the only value they had for being accepted as students of White Snow Academy.The points awarded by the white snow academy indeed served to show the value that a candidate who enrolled in the white snow academy had. When the final test approaches, everyone who registers at the academy will compete to fight for and defend their points.But if you think about it, who gave those points away? Is it Argon who is the overseer of this last test? Or was it the other overseers who participated in the white
"Ivo Graham and Kevin Heider started their tests over 2 hours ago." Argon showed them the black screen he had shown at the start to everyone. "Look at this." The two screens show different scenes. There, Kevin Heider is on the right side of the screen and Ivo Graham is on the left side of the screen. Both of them showed completely different scenery. On the right, a man is sitting relaxed on the edge of a hillside. He has a normal stature except that his eyes emit a gray color. His hand fiddled with a small dagger while staring blankly at the blue sky. Behind him, piles of monster corpses piled up and scattered everywhere. Every lying dead monster had a big hole in its head through the monster's whole body. Blood soaked all over the place and fell down into the abyss like a waterfall. That shows how many monsters he killed. The trail of red color coming from the pin is visible to everyone. Kevin seemed very annoyed by this. "Really annoying. You guys are putting little tricks into
