Paths of Extinction Chapter 25 Rune of Death
“I’m not a teacher, so I won’t pry any further.” The Dean eyed Zeke for a couple of breaths before standing up and opening the door. “Return to your dormitory and… no more nocturnal wandering or you will receive Black Stars.” Zeke and Emilia nodded and scurried away, soon finding themselves back in the forest. While he was in deep thought, she stole glances at him and tried to say something only to stop at the last second. The short trip back to the open campus was filled with nothing but a tense silence. However, before they separated, Zeke halted his feet and asked her, “What were you doing in the middle of nowhere?” Instead of answering, she apologetically bowed her head, “I’m sorry. Really really sorry!” “Huh?” Taken aback, he raised his eyebrow, not knowing how to respond. “I now know what I did wrong. I… I never wanted Amelia to die or for her parents to get attacked. Please believe me!” “It’s not me who you should apologize to. Still, at least you’re remorseful, unli
Paths of Extinction Chapter 26 Friends No More
After the first two lessons, while Zeke was at the cafeteria, Julia walked up to him, seemingly in a slight rush. “What are you doing here? I thought you’d be watching. “Watching what, exactly?” “Hm?” Then, the girl tilted her head in confusion and responded, “Your friend, of course. I heard that Rodrick challenged him.” “He did?” Zeke put down the utensils and, with Julia following him, headed straight into the arena situated in the First Year’s training facility. Surprisingly, there was a big crowd made up of many students from all First Year Classe, which was unexpected since the two fighters weren’t particularly famous. Fylard and his group were present too, standing near the entrance and spectating with huge grins. Unfortunately, by the time Zeke arrived, the fight was already over. He saw Samuel lying on the ground with a few minor cuts on his uniform and one on his left cheek. Professor Nayro intervened at the last second and ended the fight, declaring loudly, “The wi
Paths of Extinction Chapter 27 An Offer
“Why are you always talking to yourself?” While bandaging her chest to hide the hideous black crystal, Amelia asked Jonathan, who never pacing around the dimly lit basement and mumbling to himself. Her question, which came out of the blue, made him momentarily stop and look at her with half-surprised half-confused face. “It helps me concentrate… and it doesn’t concern you. Continue your training or else I will find someone else to use the Crown.” As crazy as he always seemed, Jonathan could sometimes be reasonable and calm. Now was such a time, which was why she mustered her courage and asked him. Then again, as they were allies, more or less, he wasn’t particularly harsh on her. “What even is the Crown? Is it just this crystal to my chest?” He stared at the thick bandages wrapped around her chest, barely hiding the crystal. After a slight hesitation, he sighed and fiddled with his yellow headband, “The Crown is an otherworldly artifact. It’s what will help me get what I want.”
Paths of Extinction Chapter 28 Fire and Wind
“I knew you’d come.”The Dean beckoned Zeke, who stood at the edge of the open area and, flabbergasted, stared at Azmer.“Hm? I never said you’re the only one.”“...”Zeke had deliberated the offer’s for a whole day and finally decided to accept it as it was the safest way to train. However, never did he expect to find Azmer here too, but, unlike him, the latter still refused to acknowledge his presence and was minding his business.‘Why should I leave just because he’s here? It’s not like I’m afraid.’As he stood next to the shabby hut, the old man pointed at a poorly-made leather dummy.“This is better than mindlessly hitting trees. Suit yourself.”After saying that, he proceeded to ignore Zeke and busied himself with Azmer. He stopped behind the blond youth and, after a moment, raised his cane and hit the back of his knee, making him fall to the ground.“How many times do I have to tell you? Concentrate and don’t activate your ability immediately!”With gritted teeth, Azmer solemnl
Paths of Extinction Chapter 29 Retrieval of the Crown [1]
“What’s the matter with that kid?”Celestia wasn’t happy at the end of her pointless conversation with Zeke. He left abruptly and was vehemently against lending any kind of assistance. “I found that strange.” Remarked James while pushing back his glasses and standing up.“He was relatively polite when we talked to him. Did you expect him to be like Edward?”Upon the mention of Edward Orland, the girl snorted and averted her gaze.“Apparently, before awakening, so to speak, he was getting bullied by two of his classmates. Maybe his unwillingness to help stems from that.”“And what, pray tell, does that have anything to do with me?”“You shouldn’t have threatened him.” Chirped Vanessa, also surprised by Zeke’s attitude. Although he was fairly outspoken, he was still a bit ‘docile’ when she talked to him.“I’ll try talking to him.”“What?”Celestia slapped her hand against the table, her anger rising, which was extremely rare as tended to things in a calm and responsible manner.“Out of
Paths of Extinction Chapter 30 Retrieval of the Crown [2]
“This is not the right way, lad.” Instead of training with Julia, Zeke used another route while avoiding the patrols. It wasn’t that difficult, at least not until the Dean appeared nowhere. “Erys has been closed off and, barring a few exceptions, new students are allowed to leave the premises. I thought the notice made it crystal clear.” “I have to leave.” Resolutely said back the youth, his eyes defiant and fists clenched. He had to retrieve the Crown no matter the cost, because, at this rate, his condition would get worse, and, excluding the attention it might attract, he might not even be able to walk properly, much less train or attend class. “Have to? That’s the excuse everyone says in this situation. Don’t make things hard for yourself and ruin your perfect records by getting Black Stars.” “...” Seeing Zeke’s adamance, the old man stopped tapping his stick on the ground, he raised it ever-so-slightly as if about to attack. However, at the last second, he furrowed his brows
Paths of Extinction Chapter 31 One Week
“Stay here? This isn’t our work office.”Seeing the young man sitting quietly, his uniform shredded and his face pale, Sulong was about to curse but held himself back and contented with an exasperated sigh.Zeke had appeared without prior notice and demanded to stay there for a while. At first, Sulong thought it was a thief who broke in, so this situation made him doubly surprised.“Shit! Look at this…”The other man, Jack, was staring at the TV while whistling in surprise. The news about the fight that broke out in Kethra’s Arms.“I don’t have to ask if you played a part in that. Hm? A whole building? You people are monsters.”Zeke was having trouble clenching his left hand as the Rune of Death was still acting, processing the absorbed black mist from earlier. It was only active for a moment or two, however, the quantity absorbed was unexpectedly big, so much so that the reservoir within Rune of Life was reaching its limit.“How goes the search?” Asked Zeke while trying to move his
Paths of Extinction Chapter 32 Seeking Help
“Hey…psst!” Zeke was absent-mindedly watching the tv only for Jack, Sulong’s friend and colleague, to sit next to him and lightly nudge him. When he finally got a reaction out from the youth, Jack looked down and asked, “Are these the source of your power? Is this how you students do it? If I can get power then I don’t mind an ugly tattoo or two.” Zeke rolled his eyes and pulled his sleeves, “It doesn’t work like that. You’re either born with it or you’re not.” “Oh… I never actually bothered to learn such stuff. All that complicated gibberish about Aether and whatnot. You know what I think? They use big words and make it elaborate just to sound smart.” “Technically, you’re not wrong.” “Jack! Stop with the pointless questions and clean the office for a change! Open the windows too!” The lanky clicked his tongue and begrudgingly stood up, dragging his feet around the messy room. “What is our favorite free-loader going to do now? Maybe you can help us work?” “I’m going to leave
