“This is no way to treat a master. I’ll make sure to give that kid a scolding when I see him,” he muttered in annoyance while stretching his hand to grab the weapon.

Seeing that he won’t be able to do that before meeting the ground or better put, the punch which has been prepared for him, he opted for something different.

He was in no state to tank a punch like that, so he decided to also go on the offensive.

His hand gave off the golden glow once more and he punched out releasing a golden beam that slammed into the figure releasing a large explosion with the ground cracking.

They were both forced back as a wry smile appeared on Art’s face. Two more fingers were now broken and his hand was barely saved from dislocation.

But it wasn’t for nothing as the figure had its forearm completely blown away along with some part of its face and trunk.

His gaze drifted to the sword lying 6 meters besides him. He wasted no time to run and grab it.

“Must’ve felt good huh? Let’s see how you fare,”

    “Hello number 20, or wait, you don’t deserve to be called that anymore,” the boy in front of him smirked. Who else would this be but Karon, the number 1. Probably, he came for revenge for what happened last time. With the way Art lost his rank, he now probably deems him as a coward who creates a false sense of mystery to hide his weakness, but Art wasn’t expecting him to come this soon.He just stood still without uttering a word as some of the lackeys who came with Karen began to surround him.Even in his former life, he was never bullied by anyone. The bullying experience that he received was from the former body owner and he didn’t plan on experiencing that again.“Still have that unbothered expression right? Well, too bad 'cause that won’t be helping you this time.” Karon drew closer to him. Except for him, every other person here was quite alert as they were attempting to bully a former Elite whose power is unknown. It was normal for someone like him to have all these follower

  • The Successor System    Saved by the Princess

    Something like this kind of fight was bound to draw a lot of attention and everyone here recognized the person who had just spoken. Why wouldn’t they when she was the same person who gave their welcome speech.“Look, it’s the princess.” “What the hell is she doing here.”“Maybe she was just passing by.”“I know that she’s a princess and all but does she really have the right to interfere?”“I think her royal status gives her that and besides, rumors have it that she just joined the disciplinary committee.”“I guess that wasn't just a rumor. Look.”Her uniform was different from theirs in overall design, as her cape was one-sided with a logo of two black swords and white feathers and the edges of her uniform were black instead of silver.The glow which was beginning to come from Art’s hand faded away as he sighed in relief, before leaping from the roof to the ground.“Do you care to explain what happened here?” Elora voiced out with a frown as Karon’s hand reverted to normal.“It’s n

  • The Successor System    Assistant Professor Zenchi

    Art didn’t expect this and wasn’t comfortable with the amount of stares he was receiving.The people who had their attention on what was going on here were at least 50 and it kept increasing with time. He thought of going somewhere else, but that would just make things weird.“Good day class,” a drunken, lazy voice echoed around the hall causing everyone to look at the man who just said this.He had messed up, unkempt hair and beard, with bright brown eyes. His clothes were,…Well, not something a teacher would normally wear and he seemed drunk, even wielding a bottle of beer.This was the elemental class teacher.They were shocked and freaked out when they saw him on their first day in this class, but now they were slowly getting used to it. Rumor has is that he is quite weak and pretty much useless, while some said that he was strong, but regardless of that, no one openly disrespected him, as there was a punishment for that.He took another sip of the beer at hand.“Haa! Such bliss

  • The Successor System    Three Scenes

    Viron had no choice but to fight. He created some distance between them, taking a deep breath. It’s been a while since he last sparred.‘Control Viron, Control. You’ve got this. It’s just sparing after all. I don’t have to take it serio….’“VWOOOOOMMMM!” His thinking got interrupted by the sound of his opponent blasting towards him with his hands in flames.The colour of his flames was crimson, like his hair, unlike the usual bright red colour. This was the flames of the Crimsons. It’s said to be more deadly than normal flames and that’s without the special trait.His speed was being boosted by his attribute, using flames below his feet. But one of the three greatest speed-enhancing attributes was lightning. Blue streaks began to move around Viron’s body.When Ronny got close enough, he stretched out his hands, releasing a powerful stream of flames, which Viron quickly evaded with trails of lightning following him. The heat of the flames was something. The floor was getting sco

    “W-What is this,” Ronny muttered. The lightning streaks around Viron had gotten more violent even causing his hair to dance upwards.The mana emanating from him was extraordinary and only Ronny could feel it because of the barrier. He seemed like a totally different person.But Ronny wasn’t scared, instead, a smile formed on his face.It wasn’t every day he got to fight someone like this. Back when he was with his family, none of the interesting people chose to fight with him.This wasn’t because he lacked talent and strength, instead, it was due to his twin brother who was just too talented.He got overshadowed and everyone showed more interest in his brother, so he was mostly stuck with weaker people, something which he despised. And besides he always wanted to fight someone with a different attribute but he didn’t expect his first fight to turn out like this.A powerful bolt of lightning escaped from Viron’s body without him making a move and it headed towards Ronny.It came very

    “Viron!” ~Flicker~“Please!”~Flicker~“R-RUN!!”The eyelids of a very handsome blue-haired boy opened, his eyes were also blue and filled with terror which changed into sadness.He let out a sigh as he tried putting his emotions in order before sitting up.Looking around, he noticed that he was in an unfamiliar, mostly white room, and it was quite damaged.The nature of the damage was probably due to lightning magic, so he was sure that he used his attribute while being unconscious, resulting in this.Paying more attention to himself, the little injuries that he sustained were now mostly gone and he was dressed in different clothes.The shirt he wore was sleeveless, with black shorts.His uniform was damaged in the fight but that wasn’t a problem as he had several more.He raised his hand to his eyes before clenching his fist. “I guess I still haven’t recovered from that. I shouldn’t have agreed to fight a flame user after all. I just hope that I didn’t hurt him much.”The memory o

    He wasn’t expecting to hear something like this.“Sooo…?” She asked in anticipation. For someone who fights that way, she was incredibly cute. “Well, I can’t really do that now, since I’m not in a good condition. My last spar didn’t end so well,” he said, a bit dejected.She walked closer to him, placing a hand on his shoulder which caused his heart to beat faster.“Then get well soon. The healthier, the better,” she said energetically with a smile, and he didn’t know if she was actually concerned about his health or something else. But he didn’t mind.“I’ll see you later then,” she said, walking away."Yeah! Sure.” After waving, she exited the room.He also left shortly after.His mood had gotten brighter because of this encounter and was looking forward to when they would meet next.From her hair colour, the chances of her being a Silver were high, so he decided to ask Sil…, no, Art about it when he gets to their room.And it didn’t take long for him to arrive.As he walked in, h

    The next day in class they were all seated with Professor Stein standing in front of them. He was finally going to talk about the topic which he kept them in suspense about, right from the first day.This time Art was seated with Sil and Viron, this was part of fulfilling his own end of the bargain. He swore to use the other question to the fullest.As expected they were both bad influences. Sil was already asleep. Art wondered if he was going to progress at this rate. There hasn’t been a time since he stayed up from the beginning to the end of a class. He looked so peaceful sleeping. Why did he even attend the academy in the first place?As for Viron, he seemed a little distracted, thinking who knows what. To make matters worst, he was seated right in their midst.“Now I would be giving a brief history of how Ras became part of the kingdom.” He cleared his throat before continuing.“Before the grand war which happened over 4000 years ago. There was no kingdom like Hurin.”‘The Gr

  • 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
