Survival.It is a very harsh concept for children to be tested at the age of 14.However, if you are the Millennium Academy, this is a normal thing for you since they are the ones preparing the new generation for the possible incoming wars.Giving tools for the basic requirements in the wilderness will leave the children all alone, making them feel the hardness of life.And, of course, it will also have fights among the students.One by one, everyone got out of the scene, and I was left alone with those who wouldn’t need to participate in the event.In the practical exam, the main character and those who have practical experience will destroy every other person. It is inevitable since this is basically how this world works in the first place.Slowly making my way to the entrance, an instructor came beside me.“Hello. Are you the student Darius Nightborne?”“Yes.”“Firstly, I congratulate you on your admission to the academy.”“Thank you.”“We will conduct an academy tour. Please join
Three days have passed by a breath. In the first place, aside from training like a maniac and watching some stuff on the Mananet, I didn’t have anything to do.So, it is just as it should be.If you have nothing to do, if you are free, then the time will pass at a fast rate.This is how it is.And right now, here I am, waiting in my room for Hannah to call.I am pretty sure she passed the exam.But the important thing is not passing the exam.It is that with what kind of score you have passed it.This is the place where the tricky part comes.Depending on the situation, I might even need to lower my rank forcefully.We will see.“Hmm, she doesn’t seem to be calling. What should I do?”“DING!”As it were to shut me up, my watch started ringing.“Hannah.”“Darius.”“Is the exam finished?”“For me, it is.”“I see. Wanna talk?”“Yes.”“Where are you?”“I am waiting in the same place we entered.”“I am coming.”“Okay.”Just like that, I left my room.Reaching the place where we gathered fi
After the announcement ended, I left the hall with Hannah.Out there, Euan was waiting.“How was it?”With a smile, he looked at his daughter.“I passed.”“This is my girl.”Seeing them hugging each other like that, I decided to leave them for the time being.‘Let’s leave the father and daughter duo to themselves. Once school starts, they won’t be seeing each other for months.’Thinking that, I started walking away.“Darius, where are you going?”“I will see you later.”Waving my hands to Hannah’s question, I left the place and started walking towards my room.‘Now, what to do?’Since the time was basically around noon, there was nothing to do anyway.‘Should I train again?’Thinking that, I started looking at the newly admitted students trying to find their way to dorms.Nowadays, I feel like I am becoming more and more of a training maniac, though it is necessary for my survival.Since everyone got their watches from the academy for the entrance exam, which was the one I got after t
After getting out of the shower, I started putting on the uniform that was delivered to me just now.‘As expected, magic is convenient, huh?’‘They are using spatial manipulation for deliveries.’Thinking that I finished putting on my clothes.A blue colored jacket, underneath a shirt and pants. On my collar, there is an ornament showing I am a member of the S-class—a normal type of uniform, I can say.However, there is a catch. Being the world’s best academy, the uniform is also a good one, differing from normal clothes.It has the function of changing shapes according to the lessons, cleaning students, and, most importantly, protecting the user from a lethal attack up to the A-Rank for once.That is basically what the uniform does.Anyway, putting everything on me and doing my hair, I left the room with my elevator.Getting outside, a calm breeze passed through me again, but this time being a lot warmer.Slowly making my way to the orientation gathering, I reached a huge stadium.An
Of course, when the term ‘noble’ is established in a world setting, that means there will be discrimination.It is how it is.In the first place, the fact that there are different segments of statues that comes from birth itself without achieving anything is a discriminative thing.And when there is discrimination, there are bound to be some dogs who think they own everything, like they are the ones that deserve all of the good things in this world.Elitism.This is what we call those types of actions.And elitist faction.Those are the ones that think blood matters.To be honest, it is a pretty cliched setting. However, the game has it, so it is what it is.And they are the ones that I didn’t like in the game most.Because they have some sort of ego that clouds their judgment, they can’t see the bigger picture.The danger is approaching, and the continent is reaching its end of safe days. This is pretty obvious from the increased rates of higher-rank gates appearing.Then, what shoul
Once there was a girl that was trying her best to survive in the harsh world.She was a girl with no parents, no one to rely on, and no one to get help from.Ever since she could remember, she was always alone.Those who live in a warm house with warm meals and warm baths would not understand the difficulty of life for those who don’t have anything to rely on.Alicia Lincoln was such a girl.Abandoned at birth, trying to survive on the streets, she was always alone.It was cold. It was hard. Her head was spinning. Her vision was being lost; her stomach was empty. She was slowly dying, mixing in the crowd of yet another dead oppressed.At the age of seven, an old couple found her on the streets starving and gave her a meal and a warm place to live.However, life kept being harsh to her.That old couple later died at the hands of a disease, leaving her alone in this world again.But this time, she wanted to stay strong.She wanted to be a good person to help others, just like that old c
Waking up early in the morning, I got up from bed and grabbed a morning drink.Yesterday, seeing the training wasn’t that effective just by running around, I ordered a bunch of weighted bracelets to harden the difficulty.Since they were yet to arrive, I just ran around for a while.Today is the day when the classes will start, so some of the students have already started their training.Returning back to my room, I trained with my sword for a while and took a shower to get ready for the class.Putting my clothes on, I left the room and started walking towards the class.Since Hannah is in Class A, she has her own place to attend classes. She messaged me yesterday, saying she had made some new friends from her class.It is pretty normal, considering she is already a friendly person, but still being a commoner might bring trouble, so I will be vigilant.When I left my room, I saw a pink-haired girl waiting in front of the dorm building.‘Hmmm?’Seeing me coming, she turned her head tow
[Darius, can you come to the sparring rings? Things may get messy here.]Seeing the message coming from Hannah, I made my way toward the sparring areas in the middle of the training grounds.Since there are those that like to spar with each other, the academy made an arena in the middle of the training grounds for those who wished to do so.And those four were headed there, too, to spar with each other.With my eyes open, looking around, I made my way there.“Hey, leave me alone.”“Come on. We just want a friendly spar here.”“We don’t want to.”“Heh? Are you scared of us?”“What?”“Just as I said before, I just wanted to have a friendly meal with you. We didn’t want anything else, right guys?”“Yes, yes. We just wanted to have a chat with you. Who would have thought you would refuse us like that? We are embarrassed, you know.”“So what? It is not like we needed to accept your invitation. Don’t you understand this…. We. Don’t. Like. You and your group. Leave us alone. I don’t have muc
