Talon, now standing a few steps away from the pool. He collected his towel on a nearby rack and wrapped it around his body. Then he glanced back at the once crystal-clear pool, but it was now transformed into a murky abyss, black as raw graphite.
"I think I'll have to call customer services to clean this up," Talon remarked. Putting the pool incident behind him, he made his way towards his bedroom.In a swift motion, Talon retrieved a set of clothes from his personal space and swiftly dressed himself. Now fully clothed, he proceeded to his egg-shaped bed, where he assumed a seated position with his legs crossed."Nolat! Show me my status…it's been a while," Talon requested.[•Status Display!•][★Name-Talon Stormbane★][★Status- High-Born★][★Divine Sentinel★]------------------------[★Divine Shadow- D-Class Rank★][★Heavenly Artificers- D-Class Rank★][★Holy Druid-+EE-Class Rank★][★Holy Mage- +EE-Class Rank★][★STalon, previously positioned near the elevator in the dining hall, eager to retreat to his room, found himself abruptly halted by the unexpected obstruction of Danny and Laura in his path."Kneel, bow your head to the ground, and beg for mercy," proclaimed Laura's boyfriend, Danny, strategically blocking Talon's path with an air of authority."Danny! He wouldn't just kneel and beg for mercy; he would also compensate for the bag," Laura interjected, escalating the tension with her added stipulation, injecting an extra layer of complexity into the confrontation."You people always think you can take advantage of someone who is poor. Too bad I'm not!" Talon confidently smiled, his with a mysterious assurance as he locked his eyes with his adversaries."Me? Go down on my knees and beg for mercy," Talon theatrically emphasized, punctuating his words with a dramatic thump to his chest."Besides, how much is your bag worth?" Talon inquired, casting a
"Before I foolishly hand over any money without evidence, we must sign an Eternal Debt contract. Don't worry, I have it right here," Talon stated, snapping his fingers. Three golden papers materialized, which he handed to Danny and Laura.~Contract of Eternal Debt~This binding contract is made on the ____ day of ________ in the year ____, between:Talon Stormblade, hereafter referred to as the "Purchaser"AndLaura Gilman, hereafter referred to as the "Vendor"WHEREBY IT IS AGREED:1.

The Vendor and Danny Silverhair therefore jointly owe the Purchaser the sum of three million six hun
Laura stood closely beside Danny, her surprise mirroring his as the contract took immediate effect without wasting a single moment. Thoughts raced through her mind, and she couldn't help but think, "I need to escape from here."However, as Laura made a move to leave, a sudden chain materialized, binding her hands together and preventing her escape. Danny, witnessing this, found himself on the ground, kneeling in a pleading manner. "Sir, I have no money on me. I beg you, have mercy," he pleaded.Laura, determined to maintain her pride, tried to lift Danny from the ground. She had always been the one to push him beyond his limits, even in the face of adversity. Even when Talon entered the picture, Danny had hoped to avoid any trouble. But he knew Laura too well. If he didn't support her, she would undoubtedly leave him, and that was something he couldn't bear. Danny felt like Laura's puppet, always under her control.Disregarding Laura's attempts, Danny push
Morning arrived, and Talon had his pool cleaned before finally allowing himself a well-deserved rest. It was the longest sleep he had enjoyed in seven years."Finally, I've had the best rest ever," Talon yawned, rising from his bed. He began his morning routine with an intense workout session.After a short while, Talon was drenched in sweat, having completed his rigorous training."I believe it's time for me to register at the academy before the program ends," Talon remarked, heading towards the bathroom to freshen up.*******With Nolat's assistance, Talon swiftly located the Academy. Now, he stood before the grand gate of the school, glistening in the sunlight as it was constructed with pure gold. Talon attempted to peer through the transparent gate, but everything on the other side appeared blurred.Talon approached the grand gate, adorned with the inscription "The Higher Institute Sentinels." He stood directly opposite the gate, contemplating what lay beyond."I wonder what secret
******* 1 day earlier...In a hidden corner of the City of High-Borns stood a magnificent mansion, its landscape suspended in the air near the edge of a mountain cliff. From the ground, one could witness the movement across the bridge leading to the mesmerizing mansion. "I'm grateful for this S-Class Rank Cloak. Without it, I would have been trapped by those guards," the person thought silently, though It's presence remained unseen.With a swift stride, the invincible figure went into the beautiful environment. The landscape had well trimmed grass, and at its heart stood a majestic structure.They were men wearing shiny golden outfits, stationed around the surroundings as if acting as guardians of the central building. "I have nothing to fear, after all, they can't sense my presence," the individual muttered as he swiftly passed by, paying no mind to the guards. And indeed, it's presence went unnoticed by the sentinels. In this unique world, a variety of accessories existed, servin
Talon opened the door, and he felt the cool touch of the metallic as he touched it with his fingertips. Then he went out and about the door. Moving forward he thought about everything that occurred today,"Only today I spent 11 million. I just hope this school won't drain all the money I made fro…," but his thoughts were briefly interrupted as he noticed a girl with a striking red hair staring at him.The girl reciprocated with a puzzled expression, her eyes questioning his presence, "What the heck is he doing here? Noo! We're going to be in the same academy…why?" Gwen muttered to herself as she moved towards the Allocation room."This face looks familiar," Talon said, as he was captivated by the mystery in her gaze.Gwen entered the room, and her entry pass was clutched in her right hand, and she greeted "Good Afternoon ma!" The woman, didn't acknowledge the greeting as she continued what she was doing with her eyes fixed on the screen which she typed.Gwen who was familiar with the
Talon entered a room filled with various types of equipment needed for crafting any tool. The room's atmosphere was that of a splendid laboratory, far surpassing Talon's expectations for a penthouse. He couldn't help but remark to himself, "I never imagined this penthouse would a work shop. At least my fifty thousand Star Credits per night didn't go to waste." As he marveled at the sight, all the necessary items for the sword enchantment materialized on the table.Talon, who was an Heavenly Artificer, possessed the power of creation. What made him even more fortunate was that his Master, too, was a Heavenly Artificer. Over the course of five years, Talon had the opportunity to learn all the essential skills of an Artificer from his Master.Now, Talon was about creating the sword. Talon immediately materialized the rusty sword from his Astral Plane.Normally, Talon stored all his stiffs in his Astral plane, allowing him to retrieve them effortlessly with his mental control. Thanks to
Talon was suddenly jolted by a swift movement, caught off guard by an unexpected ripple. Without warning, he found himself thrust into what seemed like another dimension, leaving him bewildered and struggling to make sense of the situation."What the fuck!" Talon exclaimed, his surprise evident. Not only had his once red outfit transformed into a radiant golden hue, but a sigil resembling a golden dragon had materialized on the right side of his coat.Standing in the midst of a coliseum-like auditorium, Talon was overcome with astonishment. "So, I guess this is where the trials will be conducted," he muttered to himself, taking in the surroundings. Curiosity piqued, he turned back to check if the place he had just emerged from was still visible, only to discover that everyone else who had arrived had experienced the same alteration in their outfits."Hmm! I suppose this is their uniform color. They must have advanced technology to change our attire upon arrival," Talon remarked, his am
