*** Two days later. Today was a tough day for Alicia. She was scheduled to have a court hearing for her case. This was said directly by Riviela, who visited Arryn's room for the second time. Riviela was happy to find that Arryn had fully recovered. She could clearly see that Arryn was starting to walk freely in this room, just like when she wasn't sick. "The court will be open to the public. Many people will come to know the truth about your disappearance," Riviela replied. Arryn was silent as he sat pensively on his bed. "If that's the case, then they will know about my original power," Arryn replied. Riviela was silent, with her eyes fixed on Arryn. She realized the huge impact that the man would feel if many people knew that his true power was world displacement. One of the effects of that was the peace in Arryn's life. He would always be on edge because people might be after him to use Arryn's power. "It can't be avoided. I can't do anything about it," Riviela said. "I kno
Everyone was shocked to hear Arryn's statement. Arryn felt that his words this time would help Alicia to be free from the Obelisk. She would avoid the wishes of many people who were disappointed in her. Alicia clearly heard what Arryn was saying. She smiled at the ease at which Arryn could speculate like that. "Are you sure, Arryn?" asked the Supreme Judge. Arryn nodded without saying a word. "Why are you saying that, Arryn?!" moaned Riviela, shouting loudly from the audience stand at Arryn. Riviela was pretty disappointed with Arryn's statement. Riviela had been close to Alicia, the two of them being in the same class when studying at the Obelisk. Riviela had to admit that Alicia was different, especially in her analytical skills. Arryn turned his head to the right and smiled broadly while waving to Riviela. It was a completely unexpected expression from Arryn. "I must speak the truth in court," Arryn replied. "You're right. Honesty is highly appreciated in this place," replied
"Justice Watcher? Wait, what kind of group is that exactly?" asked Quentin. Aurora didn't know the meaning of Justice Watcher. It was her first time hearing the name. The girl turned to Arryn with a confused and curious expression, curious to know what kind of group Justice Watcher was in. "It's a peace-keeping group. However, I don't know exactly where and who the members of the Justice Watcher are," Arryn replied. "I just heard that name. Could it be the same group as the adventurer's guild?" asked Quentin. Arryn shook his head. He doesn't know much about Justice Watcher, whether it should be compared to the adventurer's guild. Clearly, the group had been formed under Irena's orders and was tasked with maintaining world peace. "Maybe, but I don't know what the specifics are." "You'd better stay here for a while until your job class changes from the first to a higher tier," Quentin explained, holding Arryn's shoulders tightly. "Remember, too, that I've promised to make you a So
"Black Light?" Arryn asked right after hearing Aurora say so. Arryn opened his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him with seriousness. "Why are you talking?" asked Aurora. "I'm curious about the aura colour that emerged with my body," Arryn replied. "You're emitting a black light, different from what appears on most people in general and me," Aurora explained. "Is that something bad?" Aurora shook her head slowly. She explained that natural energy had many colour variants, one of which was black. According to what Aurora had read, black light appeared when mana magic users resonated with dark magic. That was the book's explanation related to black light, but Aurora was still unwilling to conclude that Arryn's mana belonged to dark or black mana. "If it helps increase your mana points, then it's not bad at all," Aurora explained, trying to hide the truth from Arryn. Arryn tried to meditate for the second time after failing previously. He sat cross-legged comfortably while
*** The two returned to study together for the second day. Arryn and Aurora were already at the Obelisk field on the first floor. Aurora explained to Arryn that they would be practicing combat magic. "You must have learned about basic elemental magic. Right? Now is the time for you to use that skill," Aurora explained, taking a distance from Arryn. The trial was still clearly remembered by the people at the Obelisk. Just as Arryn joined them on the practice field, different eyes began to focus on the man. There were fear, anxiety, curiosity, and anger. They showed various responses to Arryn, and almost all of them were negative. Arryn realized that, but somehow he couldn't just leave Aurora just because of people's responses. Aurora would think it unprofessional if Arryn gave up because of people's perceptions. "Use the basic elemental magic you learned for this battle. Do you get it?" asked Aurora. Arryn nodded with both eyes continuing to look at the woman standing quite far aw
Arryn looked closely at the huge dragon-shaped flames that began to appear above Lucas' head. The elemental fire magic that Aurora had explained was a high-level magic spell in the fire element. "We have to call Sage Quentin to stop them," said Aurora, turning her body around and about to leave the practice field to seek help. But Arryn stopped her by calling her name firmly. Aurora stopped walking with a worried expression, looking at Arryn, still standing firmly as if he didn't feel any fear. "You don't have to, Aurora," Arryn explained. "I can handle this," Arryn continued. The man stepped confidently toward Lucas. He certainly didn't want Lucas' fire strength to kill him, so Arryn decided to use his strength against Lucas. "He said something interesting. If one of us dies, it will be because of his weakness," Arryn replied. "Then?" asked Aurora, still confused by Arryn's words. Arryn seemed to stop his steps with a big smile on his face. Aurora didn't see anything from Arry
*** The next day. Quentin arrived at Arryn's isolation room and saw his son shackled with iron chains. His eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his mouth was gagged. Arryn couldn't see who was coming or talking. Arryn had to suffer such a terrible condition not because of Quentin's orders, but because of the orders of the Obelisk's security authorities. Quentin sat on a stone step while removing the gloves on his hands. Arryn realized someone was coming towards him, but he had no idea who it was. "I'm disappointed in you, Arryn," Quentin said softly. Arryn recognized the voice in his ear. It was none other than Quentin speaking to him. He wished to ask Quentin many questions about Lucas and Aurora, but whatever, the cloth gag in his mouth could not be removed. "I thought you would use your strength wisely after the trial of Alicia. However, it seems I was expecting too much," Quentin explained. "The strength you showed yesterday was frightening for a beginner magic user.
"Obelisk security authorities?" asked Aurora. Ivy cleared her throat softly. "They seemed to think that Arryn was a real threat to the Obelisk, so he had to be taken out to reduce the panic," Ivy replied. Aurora sat limply on the edge of her bed, her head bowed, looking down at her hands resting on top of her thighs. Aurora thought that Arryn's mistake was her fault too. "This is my fault. I should have prevented it yesterday," Aurora replied. "What's done is done. I came here to tell you that, of course, for you to stop worrying," Ivy replied, but Aurora still felt anxious at the thought of Arryn leaving the Obelisk with her abilities. "He's still not capable of the magical power to survive out there. I'm afraid he's going to get into trouble," Aurora said. "What you taught us yesterday is enough for Arryn to defend himself. By using energy gathering, he won't have any problems running out of mana," Ivy replied. Aurora nodded her head. What Ivy said had a point, too, if Aurora
