Kiran crept up the rope ladder to the deck of the Azure Escape. He climbed the jute rope ladder very quickly. It even looked like he was jumping from one rung to another. The jute rope just swayed gently, looking almost stable. Everyone watching the attraction held their breath, but nothing happened until the second Kiran was halfway up.

"The higher the ground, the more likely it is to fall. If it's unstable with high Agility, it will surely fall if it maintains that kind of speed!"

"But he seems to have a high agility point. Just look at the rope that doesn't sway when he jumps quickly!"

From a distance in the Tower of Special Places, two academy masters were watching while drinking tea.

"Huuf! It worked!" Kiran stomped his feet on the ship's deck at three times the speed of an average academy student.

When he looked down, there was no applause. Kiran did not bother. He walked to find the room where he was staying after that. If he heard many people's conversations on the field, Kira

    Kiran leaned against the deck railing of the spirit vessel Azure Escape, which transported him and the fifty chosen students from the Golden Arrow Academy of Magic to the Atulla Desert, and felt the cool breeze slap his face. But Kiran saw the story as a farce because it featured four Qingchang noble children: Emma, Nethon, Feynrahel, and Arve.Kiran laughed heartily, and the four noble children took offense at once.Legendary animals that could only be found in fairy stories were the Fire Qilin, the White Tiger, the Desert Dragon, and the Golden Peacock. If they existed at all, they were difficult to subdue and control. The names of the contract creatures mentioned by the four conceited yet pampered noble children could only be conquered by a magician of the Sage or Warlock classes. Kiran couldn't help but chuckle at this.Emma, Nethon, Feynrahel, and Arven moved quickly to form a semicircle around Kiran. Drawn swords and wands, ready to fire curses at Kiran, the tips of the weapons

    That day the sky was clear. Clouds could be seen at the ship's base, moving like ocean waves, as the Azure Escape Ship soared high overhead. Although the air felt great against the skin, the Azure Escape's atmosphere was warm. Emma, Nethon, Feynrahel, and Arven were the four young nobles from the Qingchang group that Kiran was arguing against.It appeared like Emma woke up from a dream. Her lips quivered and her face turned pale. Half shrieking, half inconsolable, she said."Y-you were my attacker that night in the Cafeteria courtyard!""You used black magic!"Emma's three male friends snapped at her. "Villain!"Of all, Feynrahel was the most combative. In his hand, the enchanted blade shifted. He cut with a slicing motion, his mouth hissing like a chant calling forth fire."Go away!"Three fireballs shot in Kiran's direction at a medium pace. There was a crackling sound that sounded like flames. As the atmosphere heated up, some onlookers had to move aside to prevent getting struck b

    Kiran noticed a change in the atmosphere within the teacher's lounge of the Azure Escape Spirit Ship. If he was outside, it was evident that he felt like an airship being tossed around, not to mention the wind gusts that messed up his hair.Everything felt different inside the room, which was too little to be called the teacher's room. There was no coldness, no trembling like while on the deck. The area was dimly lit, with magic stones glowing a dusk-like yellow in a few corners. It was strange but not frightful.Kiran noticed right away that the room was heated. The sound of music, akin to the flute blowing, sounded intriguing, and the sound of water gurgled like a tiny stream. Given that Master Huan Li was a water-bender, this made sense. He was near the element of water, of course, and he set up an environment that was ideal for learning magic.As Kiran got closer, she saw that the flute was emanating from a little box with a statue of a young girl playing a flute on top of it.

    Kiran peered up to the horizon, trying to find the source of the rattle. This is a long way to fly, don't you think? He was perplexed, saying, "A bird could never soar as high as this spirit ship." After a protracted search, Kiran's gaze eventually settled on a noticeable, floating figure. His mouth parted and his eyes expanded.The air was heated, and the sky had turned yellow. Kiran found herself gasping for air. In addition, the birds' constant cawing seemed to dominate and threaten the Azure Escape as a whole.Pale-faced, Kiran stood on the railing. He remained focused on the man whose voice was growing louder and louder, his head still raised. That moment was infused with a sense of foreboding and a dead air.Boom, thump, wallop!There were lots of feet rushing around when shoes touched the hardwood floor of the Azure ship. Soon later, the stifling sound of death attracted the attention of scores of curious Academy students. They piled onto the ship's railing, yelling and pointin

    No one dared to go down first because the two academy students perished when they fell in the wind on the hemp rope ladder. Fear was instilled as the two unfortunate students' bodies were swallowed by the green tendrils of the plants, which contrasted sharply with the pink sand. "I'm willing to volunteer, to try going down this rope ladder!" Everyone's faces were turned aside. They fixed their gaze on the enthusiastic volunteer. "Kiran!" "I believe he's qualified for the examination. Isn't his magical aptitude great?" While some mocked, others praised. "Does he believe he can fly? Even if he had won a magic contest, I doubt he could withstand walking on that pink beach in these windy conditions!" Kiran knew the advantages and disadvantages. But he also wanted to demonstrate that using the hemp rope ladder to descend was completely safe. Kiran stepped forward, and Master Huan Li was clearly moved. "Are you sure, Kiran?" he asked. I hope you are not overwhelmed by this. Let's wai

    The moon shined brightly that night, partially hidden by black clouds and partially peeking through to avoid the pink sand that gleamed like rubies. The vapors from the scorching sun of the day were chased away by the chilly desert wind. As he marched toward the busy settlement, Kiran's shirt fluttered to mimic the sound of rustling wind."If there aren't 40 tents, there must be more than 50 of them!" Kiran pondered.The sound of raucous, deafening shouts in a language other than the one spoken on this continent of Ayax—possibly the language of the land of Shouya. Every now and again there was the sound of a whip being cracked, which prompted a cry that suggested the object wasn't human but rather an animal."What are the people doing in this collection of tents that make up the village?" Curiousness developed in Kiran's heart.Kiran opened the wire fence that surrounded the community when he noticed a dark opening between the two sides of the most isolated tent. After coming inside,

    As Kiran's eyes adjusted to the low light, he saw that the creature in the cage next to him was pitiful, appearing as though it had recently been burned.Based on the form of its snout and legs, it appears to be a bird or other fowl. However, it appears that a significant event has befallen this pitiful being "Kiran reflected to himself, feeling isolated.The thing had a moving head and a long-looking neck. It was instantly recognized by Kiran to be a kind of bird that was at least 1.5 meters tall. "If it's a type of bird or fowl, with a height like that, it's certain that this pathetic figure is a magical beast!"When Kiran discovered through his investigation that the creature next to him was a supernatural beast, he was taken aback."Kiran is my name, master. From the Qingchang Empire, I am from Qingchang City. Could you just tell me why you look so miserable? Fearful of upsetting the creature, Kiran asked only a few precise questions. Most magical creatures had human-like emotions

    As morning approached, the sound of the roaring desert wind could be heard outside the camp, making the fabric walls of the camp where Kiran and Plume were held tremble with fear. Kiran was still in shock at that point at Plume's, the 150-year-old fire peacock, offer. Kiran believed that if he united his soul and went through the Riding process to become a contract creature, his magic level would rise dramatically. “I'll advance to become a level 2 enchantment specialist at a mid- or perhaps high-level. However, this method of Riding is not predicated on winning battles. Will this peacock surrender to me after uniting with my soul?" Riding, as we know, is the process of uniting the soul between a witch and a Magical Beast. Peacocks are known to be incredibly haughty animals. They think of themselves as more unique than other creatures and frequently flaunt their attractiveness or the splendor of their lovely feathers. When it comes to riding and being acknowledged by a magical bea

    All evidence of the fight from the previous night was sealed on the chilly morning in the spruce forest when the wind rustled, bringing the snow flowers that dropped to the ground. As far as the eye can see, the landscape is now all white and gray.Roneko walks with Kiran as they stroll around the campsite. He kept asking the Kyuubi Roneko to tell him what had happened the previous night."Please tell me again, Roneko. Are you certain that the fire-phoenix figure is a representation of the powerful magic deed I performed?" Kiran did not give up.Roneko confirmed, a desperate look on his face and a smirk that showed the master never believed a word he said. Haven't you heard yourself, My Lord Kiran? Zephyr himself attests to your surprising golden Phoenix magic. So why ask the same question over and over again?"Kiran chuckled, still wearing a simple, disbelieving expression, "The issue is, I only rode once. With the Fire Peacock, even then. Not gold, but red is the color of the flames

    Tragedy on the Horizon.

    Minutes before the silver-eyed eagle left, after she received orders from the Nymph Leader, Roneko the Kyuubi had been watching the events between the silver-eyed and the Nymphs.While everyone was fixated on the battle on the horizon, the one between the Frost Giant - Ymir and the Golden Phoenix Silhouette, the Nymph Leader was trying to find an opportunity. He secretly summoned the silver-eyed eagle to inform the ruler of the Ice Palace of their dire situation.Who would have thought? From the Ternola Forest's side, Roneko watched all the happenings with great vigilance.When she saw the gray-colored light flashing from the Nymph's group, branching rapidly towards the horizon, it was at that moment that her figure wearing a red-colored dress also flashed, chasing after the Silver-Eyed Eagle.On the other hand, on the Nymph's side, such a crucial moment was not missed by the Nymph Leader.With eyes blazing, mouth wide open, she shouted frantically, "There's something red attacking th

    It was cold at night, and the wind was strong. There was a deep freeze in the Wonderland Realm, and there was a strange feeling in the air near the Spruce Forest.At the very moment that everyone in the Ternola Forest thought they were safe behind the magic mirror shield, a terrified cry rang out."Look! "The magic mirror is about to break!"Right away, things went from orderly to chaos.All the creatures that were protected by the magic of 100 Twilight Turtles became scared."Someone needs to do something! We'll all die if we don't!""Oh, is there still any magic power that can defeat that damned thing?"When Ymir's fist hit something, it made a loud noise, and the magic mirror's crackling sound scared everyone.In fear, they let out a roar, and then there was a sudden flight towards the crystal mirror, which was getting more and more cracked. It might even break soon."Who is it?""Where did that golden-colored figure come from?""The light of its body is dazzling!"All the people w

    Strings, strings, stringsThe harp strings tinkled softly as the Nymph Leader played strange notes on the strings. The other Nymphs looked sad and murmured as if they were singing with very low pitch and words. It gave everyone shivers."Damned magic!""They're summoning supernatural beings!"Fear crept up on the people who lived in the Ternola Forest.Right then, the sky on the horizon turned dark in an instant. There were black clouds in the sky that stopped the moonlight and starlight from falling to the ground.The air got colder all of a sudden. At the edge of the cypress forest, the still water looked like it was freezing as a cold wind filled the air.In the distance, you could hear footsteps. The sound was so loud that it made the ground shake, snowflakes fall, and water splashes fall right away.Press, press, press!From the north, everything watched with wide eyes."Ymir!" "Ice Giant!"Ymir was a mythical giant from Norse times. He was made of fire and ice and was very scary

    Golden Flame Magic and Black Cloud Terror.

    The golden-red flame that shot out of Kiran's body at that precise instant was not your typical flame, not one that could be ignited by a five-hundred-year-old Fire Peacock.Other species hardly ever saw this weird, perpetual glow. The color of the fire is gold.The first person to recognize this was Roneko, the fire chakra master Kyuubi. When the strangely hot light of immortality erupted from Kiran's flesh, she was the closest to him."Professor. This is fire that never goes out. Not a fire that a contract creature like a fire peacock might release." Roneko said, looking shocked.The monster that arose from Kiran's spirit was not a fire peacock, in Kyuubi's opinion.Roneko dared to confirm that, despite being a different species of bird, "it's not a peacock at all." What an odd bird. Unfortunately, Roneko reflected, that figure appears to be bound by a curtain of magic, which makes it look exceedingly enigmatic.Roneko heard Kiran's voice offering directions while he was still unsur

    Diolos the Pegasus felt drowsy all of a sudden that night as the cold seeped in through frost petals falling from the sky.He gave it some curious thinking. Diolos thought to himself, "I don't usually get sleepy so early in the night." Whining, he asked Kiran, who appeared to be experiencing sleepiness as well. The night sky served as his roof while he worked hard to spread out a sleeping mat beneath a fir tree.The whimpering voice of Diolos disturbed Kiran, and he chastised the Pegasus. "Slept on, Diolos. There's still a long way to go. This Wonderland Realm ends at the White Witch's Ice Palace. You'll require more stamina tomorrow." He gave his advise, and Kiran fell asleep almost immediately.His bed was the dried straw mat that was spun into a mat. Simultaneously, the down blanket—the most opulent piece of gear available at the time—attempted to shield every Ternola Forest species from the chilly night air. Although snowflakes started to fall from the sky that night, nobody's slu

    Army of Mutant Nymphs.

    This large area appeared appropriate for erecting a makeshift tent the night before the weird incident, when Kiran and his two groups came, along with Zephyr and the war party from the Ternola Forest.Zephyr firmly exclaimed, "We'll rest until morning, then continue our journey to the Northern Palace!""Finally resting too..." Zephyr, the war leader, gave the order, much to the relief of the members of the special warband.The military men of all the ethnicities quickly and deftly erected tents. On the other hand, others made meals, gave each combatant medicine, and provided water.There were ten animals each race, and each race had dedicated people who planned the accommodations.Food like that eaten by creatures outside the Realm is no longer of the utmost importance in the Ternola Forest of this Wonderland Realm, where miracles occur beyond logic and conventional sense.Every race in this Realm has a number of shamans with magical abilities that can turn botanical components into p

    Tet - tet - tet...The five hundred Silent Owl troops whistled a war song, producing a sound like a trumpet. It was intentional to purposely amplify the sound of these hundreds of Silent Owls flapping their wings, creating an echoing sound that made anyone who heard it shiver, much like thousands of dragonflies flying.The wind-controlling foxes appeared to clear the path by marching orderly through Ternola Forest, behind the troops as they walked on the snow-packed road, all while making their clomping footsteps audible. The Breeze Foxes occasionally whistled, and when the wind picked up speed, it blew the snowdrifts aside, revealing the route north and allowing the men to advance without difficulty.Thousands of creatures living in the Ternola Forest lined both sides of the road as they saw the magical beast army's procession, which resembled a human army march.A thousand troops of tiny beings known as Spark Sprites, who could conjure electric sparks, strode silently but with a for

    Decision Day.

    Kiran became a little uneasy as Zephyr explained the plot to overthrow the White Witch, the King of the Ice Palace, and organize an uprising."Do you men in this Ternola Forest have an army to attack the King? If so, are you soldiers with training?" Kiran asked a question that made sense. If there were no skills at all, wouldn't every resident of this Ternola Forest perish needlessly in a conflict, especially against a well-trained Royal army?Zephyr grinned and replied, "My dear friend Kiran, you need not worry," after hearing her remarks, which appeared apprehensive. We have multiple troops in this woodland, and they are all magically skilled. When you finally get to see them tomorrow, you'll be shocked.""Tomorrow?" Kiran inquired. "You will start the attack tomorrow?" With incredulity, he asked. Kiran's worry was visible on his face. These residents of Ternola Forest were careless and inconsiderate of their strength.Zephyr answered with the naiveté of a ten-year-old: "That's corr
