The white portal opened behind Arryn's body. Alicia was the first to enter the portal, followed by Ivy, Hunt, and Arryn, who last entered. Arryn's body fell limply on the wooden floor of Quentin's workplace. There is no one in this room except them. From his mouth, Arryn was unable to hold back the feeling of nausea that occurred due to the drained MP. He vomited blood again with both eyes closed, exhausted and dizzy simultaneously. "Don't worry, Arryn! I'll save you," Alicia said, starting to worry with her eyes looking teary in fear of Arryn's critical condition. The portal began to close slowly. Alicia placed Arryn's limp body on the wooden floor as she stood up and shot fireballs into the portal. She did so to prevent the local tribes from coming to Athanor. As the portal circle grew small until it disappeared completely from this place, it was quiet as if nothing had happened. "Ivy, please go downstairs to ask for help," Alicia pleaded. Ivy nodded and went alone down the co
The man swung his dagger straight at Arryn's stomach. Ivy looked at him with wide eyes; she couldn't do anything at such a dangerous moment. Just when the tip of his dagger was about to hit Arryn's stomach, a black light appeared from Arryn that blocked the man's dagger. As a result, the black shield managed to break the man's light dagger, taking him by surprise. "Black magic. Is it possible that your power comes from it?" asked the man, looking at Arryn lying unconscious on the bed. "What do you mean?" asked Ivy. She flew back by forcing her broken wing. She needed to do something to protect Arryn even though the pain was felt in her wing. "Everything is clear now. The reason why he has a power different from most people in this world," replied the man. From his palm, the bright light that appeared earlier began to slowly disappear. His eyes glanced at Ivy, a legendary bird loyal to Arryn. "Tell him. Eran, the Executioner, has come to warn him. If he does anything as he did in
*** It would take even more time to rest for Arryn to recover completely. Since he had woken up, the frequency of Quentin's visits became relatively low, unlike when Arryn was still unconscious. It was Riviela who was now beside Arryn. The woman visited Arryn because she cared about her student's health. She knew about Arryn not just because of her relationship with Quentin; the rumor about Arryn's disappearance had become a common topic of discussion in Obelisk. "Some people are starting to worry about you, especially your classmates," Riviela explained, peeling the skin of an apple with a knife. Arryn nodded. He sat leaning against the wall of the bed as he watched Riviela. Arryn was skeptical of what Riviela said. Perhaps it was only Aurora who was worried about him right now. "They're probably already much stronger than me," Arryn replied. Riviela fell silent and started cutting the apple into pieces. "Their progress is the same as the average magic user. However, it's diffe
*** The conversation between Arryn and Aurora took about two hours. Aurora shared everything about Riviela's lessons. Aurora described the excitement during the basic elemental magic test, especially when she cast the typical two-element spell as if she was a Unify magic user. "The whole place turned frozen. In the end, Riviela's fire magic had to melt it," Aurora joked, chuckling happily at being able to show off her strength in front of her classmates. "Really? I believe you were the most powerful person there," said Arryn, complimenting Aurora. "Thank you, but I'm not that powerful compared to you. You're already the center of attention here," Aurora explained. Arryn was silent as he nodded slowly. There were two sides Arryn was looking at this time, the good and the bad. On the good side, he became famous, and many people want to get acquainted with him. He also didn't feel awkward near important figures in the Obelisk. On the bad side, Arryn's activities are limited becaus
*** Three days later. Arryn's recovery was getting better day by day. Today, he can get out of bed and stand firmly on his feet. He was assisted by a female nurse who came to check on Arryn's condition periodically. "It's normally people who have suffered a fatal attack who experience this condition, but it's strange that you do," said the female nurse. "Maybe it's the effects of the mana loss that made me like this," Arryn explained, his right hand holding the shoulder of the female nurse beside him. "I don't know about that," the female nurse replied. She began to release Arryn's hold to try and let the man stand on his own. Arryn did so. He could continue to stand without being worried about anything. The female nurse stayed by Arryn's side, ensuring he didn't fall or get hurt. However, after a few minutes, the female nurse decided she didn't need to help Arryn. She began to walk over to the nightstand to pack up her stuff. Her inspection was complete, and she needed to repo
Arryn quickly held the woman's palm. He did so out of curiosity in his mind. He found himself in space when his hands touched, floating with the woman. Arryn realized that she wasn't an ordinary woman, not an ordinary woman like Alicia or Aurora. At the same time, Arryn began to remember the woman's identity. Arryn remembered that she was the woman who gave him power. "I remember," said Arryn. The woman's head immediately turned to look at Arryn while smiling sweetly. "What do you remember?" the woman asked. "Erina. That's your name, right?" asked Arryn, confirming. The woman then chuckled as she folded her arms in front of her chest. She was relieved to hear that Arryn had remembered her again. If not, she might have to explain herself from the beginning. "That's good. You saved my time," Erina replied. "Why did you come to me? What exactly did you want to say, Erina?" asked Arryn. "It's about time you learned what your final task will be. You will form a group called Justice
*** 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
