Lidia had cast mana skin around her body so her overall performance was going to increase.

He didn't know how to use it yet, so he seemed to have been put at a disadvantage.

“Haaaa!!” she exclaimed while rushing forward to him.

After their weapons made contact he could tell that her strength was now as much as his which didn't sit well with him so he added two more free stats to his strength, raising it slightly.

She noticed this after exchanging several more attacks.

‘But how?’ she leaped back distancing herself wondering if he wasn't going all out which worried her.

Art was the one who advanced this time. His sword moved toward her neck which she repositioned her great sword to block but contact was never made.

Just as it was about to happen, he let go of his sword and as it fell, he used his leg to kick it back to his other hand and after he gripped it he thrust it towards her shoulder.

This was an unusual and unexpected move, happening very quickly so it was something that she

    Art’s eyelids flickered open with his vision blurry. It took about a minute for it to get clear and he realized that he was in a place he didn’t recognize.He tried to get up only to find out how strained his body was.‘I guess that was too much for me to handle.’At the end of their match what Art used was a projection of pure mana. He’s been studying it after coming across some information from a book in the library and after his auxiliary mana core formation was complete, he began to practice it in solitude.But after what happened he decided to not use it again for now as he was still too weak and if it wasn’t for the protective skin he would have killed them both.“I see you’re awake,” he heard a familiar voice.Shifting his gaze to the source, he sighted Racheal who was seated beside him.‘I even failed to notice her, my senses are also a mess,' he sighed internally.“So where am I?” He asked while sitting up which she assisted him in doing.“What do you mean by that, we’re hom

    After a few hours of resting, he regained a decent amount of energy, so he decided to go meet his father. ‘What would you have done if she confessed her feelings?’ his guide asked.“Why bring that up now?” He stood up from his bed which pleasingly didn’t lose out to that in the mansion.‘Because I thought you would’ve brought it up, so I waited. Only to be reminded how boring you are,' her voice was laced with disappointment.“I doubt that I’m boring. Maybe you’re the one with the problem here and as for your question. Hmmm……..” he gave it some thought. “Since she’s been sincerely helping me out since I got here, I would have avoided giving her a direct answer.” ‘You see. Boring,' she let out a sigh.After quickly freshening up, he walked out of his room into the hallway. Even though this was his first time being here, he already knew where he needed to go and how to get there.His room was at the end of the hallway and there weren’t any other doors showing that he was the only one

  • The Successor System    Over Powered Dad and Mana Skills

    “Dad, it’s good to see you,” Art voiced out and silence reigned for the next one minute.“Arty!” His father exclaimed giving him a big hug. Somehow, his father covered the distance between them in an instant.“I missed you so much. I told you that you didn’t need to go for that training but you’ve always been stubborn,” his father sobbed.Art didn’t resist the hug, he knew that this was going to happen and resistance was futile.His father finally broke the hug and stared at him. “I don’t know what to say about your recovery. You don’t know how happy I am. Remember when we played that little game? What was it you told me again…..” his father seemed to be trying hard to remember. “That you would bare witness to the day I surpass you.” Art knew it, this was a test to see if he was actually the one.There was no way anyone else would know what they discussed that day and the memory was put under some sort of seal making it almost impossible for telepaths to gain that information.What

  • The Successor System    Beautiful Scenery

    Art was seated on the bed of his room with a big smile while looking at the things also laying with him which had just been delivered.They were orb shaped with different colours.Yes, these were E and F-rank mana cores.This was the first request he made to his father. He was still lacking magically than them and from using attributes to controlling his true weapon, he needed to improve.So he asked his father for a mixture of E and F-rank mana cores numbering up to a hundred.If he was to ask for D-rank cores or more than that amount, he would be forced to state his reason for needing them and even his father would look at him differently if he found out that he could drain mana from objects. Besides, from what his guide had told him, he doubted that he would be able to drain from anything D-rank and above. He would be using this for now.With a thought, his status appeared before him.

  • The Successor System    Arriving at the Royal Academy

    Three days went quickly and Art made the most he could out of it. At this point, he had drained mana from half of the mana cores he had received from his father. So his mana points had tripled.They were to leave for the Royal Academy today, so he had a few pieces of luggage with him.This was just for show as he could put all his belongings in his inventory, but it would be suspicious if he just went empty-handed and suddenly brought out things that weren’t provided by the school without having a spatial ring.Spatial storage devices were also present in this world but his inventory was still better.They were to head to a part of the building which contained teleportation circles used to go in and out of the mansion and he was sure to see familiar faces.The location wasn’t too far away from his room, so it only took him about 20 minutes to arrive.He walked into the large room which had multiple teleportation circles. Some teleportation circles which were for general use could be

  • The Successor System    A Suicide Quest and Observing more

    At first, he thought that his system was trying to make him the valedictorian, which he didn’t mind because if he worked hard like any other normal student he could achieve it.But then he realized something.His quest didn’t tell him to become the strongest student, it was to become the strongest mage.So within these 8 months, he was expected to surpass both students and staff alike which includes final years, professors, guards, etc.He looked below.[Punishment: ???]This was written in blood read, so it was either death or something close to it.Art couldn’t help but let out a bitter chuckle.‘System, you’re trying to kill me right? And my dear guide, what do you have to say about this?’[…………]‘............’‘So that’s how it is huh?’ he shook his head before focusing on the task at hand.He exited the large hall and when his gaze fell on the outside of the academy, he was pleased.“As expected from the Royal Academy.”The environment was beautified with plants like shrubs and g

  • The Successor System    Gaining Information and a White Feather

    The boy looked to be about 13 years old and just by first glance anyone could tell that he was sick but something about his sickness seemed familiar.“Is he family?”The old woman looked at the boy before answering. "Not really. I found him lying on the street and decided to take him in.”“And he’s been with his sickness since you found him?” “Yes.”“How long has that been?”“A little over a year.”After hearing her last reply he walked closer to the boy, kneeling beside him.The house wasn’t big in the first place with the total amount of rooms being just 3 and there weren’t doors covering the rooms except for the main entrance which was why he sighted the boy immediately after stepping in.She watched as Art began to observe him and after some minutes he came up with several theories but the most plausible was that this boy had a similar sickness to the kind he previously had.Art’s sickness was that his core was too strong for his normal body, so it ended up eating his body away

  • The Successor System    Welcome Speech and Announcement

    It took him 15 minutes to get back with only 7 minutes left before the welcome announcement.It was going to be held in the large hall which he stood in front of and after walking in over a thousand seats came into view along with the large stage in front of them.Many people were already present, some had begun familiarizing themselves with others. He quietly walked to a seat that had fewer people around before taking it. ‘Two minutes left,' he closed his eyes thinking more about the old woman and the strange white feather. She didn’t give him much to go on with and he was hesitant on collecting the feather, but his curiosity got the better of him and now it ended up in his inventory.He decided to research more about it later but he would have to do it carefully because there was still a lot of mystery behind it. When he used his inspect skill on it, the feather was a B-rank artifact which was high and powerful but he doubted that it would cause a lot of people to come after him

  • A New Resolve

    It took Caitlyn even longer than expected to find Valor.Back in the dream, the fox had told her to find him. She was pretty sure it had been referring to Valor—after all, he was the only male soul summoner in the entire school.Ultimately, she found him seated alone in a secluded building, his posture slumped, a defeated expression clouding his face.Well, considering he had actually been defeated two days ago, it wasn’t all that surprising.He was so lost in thought that he only noticed her when she got very close.His gaze shifted toward her, his brows furrowing. "Who are you?" he asked, frowning."Uh—sorry to bother you. My name is Caitlyn Slerh. I'm a summoner, also in the first year." She figured he wouldn’t recognize her since he rarely attended classes. "I’d like you to help me with summoning magic.""You’ve really got some nerve," he scoffed. "Leave before I get any angrier.""I'm sorry, but I can't do that. I need to tackle my problem if I want to keep up with him. Please he

  • Fox Soul Summon

    Shallow breaths escaped along with gasps as the darkness around a girl twisted into a white landscape.She stood at the center of the brightly lit scenery, a thick white mist curling around her ankles. It felt both cold and hot at the same time.Faint echoes of whispers drifted from the distance beyond.Suddenly, a deep growl rumbled through the air.Her body tensed as she slowly turned.And there it stood before her—a towering nine-tailed fox with gleaming white fur. Its crimson eyes burned like embers, and each of its nine tails swayed along with the wind.She tried to step back, but she found herself unable to move.The fox advanced, its massive paws making no sound as it circled her."Why are you scared?" A soft, layered feminine voice slithered through her mind.Her eyes widened, her breathing becoming faster and more labored."W-Who are you?" she barely managed to whisper."I am the one you freed and saved. I am sincerely grateful for that, so I shall dedicate myself to serving

  • The Cost of Escape

    *Pant**Pant**Pant*Art slowly brought his breathing under control. He had been so close to dying once again.He placed a hand on his damp, bloodied chest. He had managed to escape by using the space swap attribute he copied to switch places with the clone he left in the forest. Normally, the space swap attribute didn’t work over such long distances, but it works specially well with the clone attribute since the clone carried the same mana signature as him. So, It was successful—though at an immense cost.The technique had drained a large amount of his mana, leaving his MP low. He had also timed it as perfectly as he could, but she had been too fast, managing to partially pierce him before the switch.If he had been even an instant slower, he would be dead by now."I need to leave," he muttered, pushing himself up and staggering away. This place had nearly killed him twice—he had no intention of returning.Art navigated through the forest, even though he had no real idea where he wa

  • Marked by the Kyusei

    Art’s grip on his weapon weakened slightly at the sight of the person staring down at him.From the inscriptions on her eye, he could tell—she was part of that group.And judging by the sheer presence she exuded, she was powerful. Very powerful.Fighting was out of the question."Is something wrong?"Another voice drifted in.'Wait… there’s two of them?' Art’s panic grew, now visible on his face. 'I didn’t even notice either of them…'"Yes. Someone’s here," the woman responded, narrowing her eyes at him. "Though I’m still debating whether he’s here on purpose… or if he’s just lost. Because coming here at that level of strength would be incredibly stupid."Art didn’t even have the luxury of feeling insulted.His mind was working at full speed, trying to figure out how to leave here alive.The second figure—the male—arrived at the scene, his gaze settling on Art.His eyes had an eerie, faint blue glow, and like the woman, he bore those same strange inscriptions. It seemed to be a shared

  • Remains of the Grand War

    Art stared at the little chest for several seconds. 'Is it safe to touch that?'After contemplating for what felt like a minute, he decided against opening it now, opting to store it away for later. With a flick of his wrist, the chest vanished into his storage device.Once he finished collecting everything, he placed them inside the larger spatial device he had bought.Now, it was time to check the ruins.There was a chance they held clues—fragments of history that could tell him more about the battle that took place here.Anything that could provide insight into the Grand War.He exited the central building moments later, stepping into the ruins once more.Unlike before, there was no lingering sensation of being watched.Only silence.An eerie stillness hung in the air as Art cautiously made his way through the crumbling remains of what had once been a grand city.The walls, faded with time, bore cracks and scars from the past. Vines crept over the structures, slowly reclaiming the

  • Back to the city

    Art carefully navigated the forest, mindful not to lose his way.He had planned ahead before now, placing the teleportation circle in a spot that would make this journey easier.After a few minutes, he arrived at the area where he had once fought seventeen D-rank beasts. Much of the mess had been covered by vegetation and nature, but the site was still recognizable.A good sign—he was on the right track.Before long, he reached the stream where he and Asura had fought.It was just as beautiful as before, though he had no time to admire it.‘I believe it was there.’ His gaze settled on the tree where she had told him to meet her. Without hesitation, he headed in that direction.Then, he noticed something."Hmm?"Looking up, he spotted several beasts perched in the trees, staring down at him.They were D-rank beasts, clearly hungry, but none of them dared to move closer—let alone attack.Their instincts and intelligence warned them otherwise.Art ignored them and continued walking.Afte

  • Out of the Academy

    Two days later, A girl with bright pink, pigtailed hair leaned against a wall, her arms crossed. Seated beside her was a black-haired boy with a scarred cheek."You're telling me he's gotten that strong in just a few months?" Karen, the number one Elite, asked, his tone laced with curiosity."Yep. I saw it myself. Not only can he use the Silver special arts, but he also wields rune magic decently well. Honestly? I’m not even sure who's stronger between us." Uramia’s eyes flickered with interest at her own words.Even after Art’s fight, more surprises had followed."And it's not just him. There was another one. Another Silver. He caught me off guard the most. You should keep an eye on them.""If what you're saying is true, then even I would struggle to handle them alone," Karen admitted, looking up at her. "I might need your assistance."Uramia met his gaze with an unreadable expression before bursting into laughter."I’ll lend a little assistance here and there, but don’t expect much

  • Declaration

    "You wish! Don't think you'll just have your way. This isn't over yet!" Valor spat. "Go!"His C-rank summon charged at Art once more, its sheer presence pressing down on the spectators. Many students shifted uncomfortably in their seats, intimidated by its raw power. But Art? He didn’t even move.The summon closed in fast, one of its heated appendages whipping forward, aiming straight for Art’s forehead.About two months ago, back during the raid, this attack would have seemed overwhelmingly fast. But now?It was nothing.Casually, Art stretched out his blackened right arm, catching the appendage mid-strike—right at its burning hot-spot.A scream echoed across the arena.But it wasn’t from Art.The beast recoiled in agony, thrashing wildly. It lashed out with its second appendage, but Art dodged effortlessly, then twisted his grip and slammed the creature into the ground. A deep crack spread from the impact.The summon screeched, struggling to break free. Its flailing tails radiated i

  • The Beauty of Power

    The C-rank summon charged forward furiously.Just by running, its paws and claws left deep marks on the ground.Many students watching were disturbed by its presence. To think Valor would summon something this powerful for just a spar—it was absurd. But despite its ferocity, the beast only showed interest in Art, proving that Valor had complete control over it.The summon was a four-limbed creature resembling a massive hound, but it had two additional appendages sprouting from its back. These thick, tail-like structures ended in razor-sharp points, radiating immense heat. A strike from them wouldn’t just cut—it would sear flesh instantly.Art steadied his stance, his true weapon shifting into a long spear as he faced both the beast and its summoner. Valor smirked, gripping his short sword tightly as he advanced in tandem with his summon.The beast lunged first, its molten tails whipping toward Art with deadly speed. He dodged, pivoting on his heel to evade the searing strikes. Counter
