"What should we do now, princess?""How should I know?" In the luxuriously decorated room with elegant white and pink curtains around the window, a white chandelier above, a white and blue glass table below, and a white leather couch, sitting on which Julie shot back in frustration, her teeth and fists clenched.Nothing was going according to Julie's arrangements, and this all started with what happened in the Auction when she lost that girl.One after another, unfortunate events took place as a consequence of that bad premonition.No, wait.When Julie gave it some thought, she realised that it had all already started since the first day of the Academy when her friend Rihanna overheard the Chairman talking to Instructor Selina.Julie had a plan prepared to entice Noah at that time because who wouldn't want wealth, fame, security, and more power? She didn't think it was anything bad at the time; rather, she saw it as a good opportunity for her to recruit a S rank potential into her f
"Hufff....Phewww..."He took a long breath in, and exhaled it, as a thick, dark-purple smoke escaped from his mouth.Beads of perspiration ran over his entire naked body as he sat cross-legged on the bed across Sylvia, who was similarly siting cross legged in front of him, with her small soft hands on his chest, helping him smoothly process the dark energy.Noah then gradually opened his eyes.[Dark energy successfully received][Energy is condensed and sent to various soul parts][Refining into soul energy][Soul slightly strengthened][From the Soul, a thin layer of corruption is removed][Soul condition improves]As soon as Noah opened his eyes, the System immediately greeted him with a massive amount of notifications.Even though not all of the corruption had been removed, but not much corruption was left now because of his constant healing, his efforts had finally paid off as he was able to strengthen his soul another little bit.'Now I should be able to unlock the super-power [V
It turned out that Emma and Grace had made a bet about who would win the next duel between Noah and Riaz.Despite the fact that Noah knew from the regressors' memories that Emma and Grace's relationship was strained because of their extreme devotion to their weapon systems, and that they often quarreled about it, but he never anticipated that it would result in such a stupid situation.And now he was the one who had to bear the consequences of it.The training sessions with Emma weren't as favourable as people would anticipate. Emma was a truly eccentric person, and when you added her childish personality and S-ranked strength, she was practically a walking innocent bomb.She wouldn't even thought for a second before beating the hell out of Noah, because to her it was the most effective and efficient way to improve your swordsmanship.But thanks to that, she didn't doubt Noah.Because of his weak soul, Noah was unable to adequately suppress his strength during training, and there was
After serving its purpose to brighten up the day for just the right amount of time, the sun sank beyond the horizon, leaving behind a spectacular display of the vast expanse of space that lies beyond the earth, complete with glittering stars and a nearly full moon in the dark night sky.It was after the evening time, when I glanced up at such a spectacle as I exited the minibus with Sylvia, Mia, and Jimmy.Whenever I look at the night sky, it always brings me more peace of mind than the sky during the day.A blue sky is what I refer to as a fake sky, since it is obscured by sunlight from the sun that, after striking Earth's atmosphere, refracts and splits into multiple parts of the spectrum, giving the appearance of a blue sky.As if someone had placed a cage around us to contain our yearning, acting as both a roof above our head and a limit to our ambitions.However, this night sky, the real sky devoid of any such cover, gives us a clear view of what lies beyond this planet. This tr
Riaz screamed loudly and tried to rush over to me.But."Stop!"With just one word, Instructor Selina stopped him, blocking his body with her mana pressure. It was the first time I truly realised the difference between an A rank and a S rank when I felt her pressure up close.Her strength was reduced to A rank due to the injury, but her mana still possessed the characteristics & essence of a S rank in terms of both quality and quantity.When she put pressure on us during the first class, she was essentially testing us and wasn't intentionally blocking our movements.Even when I fought August, his pressure was at A rank, where I was able to fight with him in a comfortable position, yet Selina's mana would have definitely decreased my speed to atleast half, if I have ever fought against her.When fighting August although I was extremely lucky.But even when Selina is now at A rank, and even if I had double the luck I had at that time, somehow I could instinctively feel that my chances
Emma's attitude had been oddly different ever since they had arrived here.No, that would not be right.Grace swiftly shook her head and dismissed that idea because Emma was unusual even on normal days.But in all seriousness, her behaviour was out of the ordinary, and it all began after they each placed a place a bet on such a duel involving one of their students. In particular, it was when she started teaching Noah privately, which caused a change in her behaviour.Although it was definitely a secret, but that was only limited to other students because otherwise it would been an injustice to them if a particular student does get preferential treatment, no matter what the reason. But even the management chose to ignore it when it became clear that the instructors themselves were engaging in this for short-term amusement, and they were doing it on their personal names, and not the Academy's.Being an Instructor at Emma's level, there could only be a few secrets inside the Academy be
Pin-drop stillness descended upon the crowd as the match started in earnest, and everyone's attention was drawn to the arena's centre, where Riaz and Noah were locked in an eye-to-eye staredown.They both were simply slowly moving in circles, waiting, and measuring one another because none of them was willing to take the first step.Noah considered giving one hit defeat to Riaz very cheap, which would definitely not be sufficient to Noah to fulfill his will to trample on the pride of this bastard who picked up a fight with him for no reason.There was one rule that Noah always adhered to, and it was that don't poke someone for no reason, but once someone poke you for no reason, then don't leave him until he is no longer able to go back on two legs, for no matter what reason.So now that Riaz had poked Noah, then he got to pay the price.Although Noah could have rushed and concluded the fight quickly, but he wasn't willing to do so because of what Riaz had done against him before.Espe
After the direct collision with me, Riaz backed away while maintaining a serious expression.He must have realised at this point that, although I wasn't stronger than him, I wasn't weaker either, and that my strength was undoubtedly not what had been rumoured around, according to my rank in the entrance exams.However, there was no trace of fear, struggle, or anything like in his eyes; rather, he was just irritated because he realised he wouldn't be able to win as easily as he had previously believed.Since it would be fun to slowly, deliberately let him to view the abyss and drown his mentality in a sense of helplessness and despair, I'll be honest and say that these expressions of him were more in line with my goals.Don't they say? that who doesn't have something, would feel it more than someone who already had it from the beginning'Hehehe..!'The words, whose application and meaning were twisted to my desire, caused a sinister smirk to arise on my face.Thankfully, because of thi
