Without delay, the examiners motioned for me to take center stage in the auditorium. And suddenly, in front of me, materialized a holographic projection of a fearsome demon. It was an embodiment of raw aura energy and wasn't a real entity. "Your task is to demonstrate your prowess as an aura user by defeating this manifestation," the head examiner explained, his eyes expectant. I nodded, took out my sword, and focused my aura on it. And the moment I did so, exclamations of awe and surprise came from all the examiners around me. "Lizzi, my eyes are not lying to me, right?" "No, Carlos, I am seeing it too." "The glow around his sword and that increase in sharpness as if ready to cut through everything—there could be no doubt about it." "But how could it be, an 18-year-old Sword Master? Just look at that thickness of aura, it's as if he's already a Peak Stage Sword Master." "I know it's hard to believe, but this is the truth." "Guess the rumors weren't false." I could hear a
Time passed, and the news about my ranking first in the Aura Academy entrance exams had already spread through various channels across the various Kingdoms.But since this wasn't news that common people could be aware of, I let Faber spread it to gain even more reputation.At the moment, my name in the Kingdom of Netopia was already beginning to be associated with miracles, and I was deemed someone who could never be beaten on the same rank.Or even someone of one rank above me couldn't beat me.You could say I had successfully started my mission to create my image as an Invincible existence in everyone's mind.The Kingdom of Netopia was also in a peaceful state during these days.Not only because of the absence of Dawn, but also because of the battle that destroyed the Spade Duke family and made the whole Northern Territory be divided between three parties.Everyone of these three parties— The Steelines, The Church of Light, and The Nix Royal family—all gained something, and this tim
Placing the Fusion Card back into my Spatial pouch, I delved my consciousness into my mental space, looking at the reward I had gotten from the Treasure Chest.Soon as my consciousness that I could use as a Supreme rank went inside my body, I finally saw it.There it was—a blob of light, glowing brightly inside my body at my solar plexus.[Duality Core]It was the third reward, the precious core, that was the key to using both aura and mana simultaneously without any adverse effects.It was a remarkable gift, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and anticipation bubbling inside me at its sight.'Finally, now I will be able to use Mana without any worries,' I cheered inwardly, my thoughts dancing with enthusiasm.The ability to harness both aura and mana together was not a common talent among aura users.It required special ancient techniques, delicate balance, and tremendous skill, making it a challenging feat to achieve.Not to mention the time and effort required with
The classes at Aura Academy were divided based on one's ranking and status in society.No matter how partial Aura Academy was said to be, since it was made up of the collaboration of multiple Kingdoms, it was inevitable that some preferential treatment would be given to nobility and royalty.Therefore, the upcoming battle was done to give a chance to those who thought it was an unfair system.After I left the stage and jumped back to my VIP booth, the headmaster took the center of the stage once again and announced the one-on-one battle between students.The rule was simple: every student would be called one by one, and they would have one chance to challenge someone.In addition, one person could only be challenged a maximum of two times.If you won, you would be given the rank of that person, while if you lost, you would have your rank lowered.As for how much, it would depend on the difference between your original rank and the rank of the one you challenged.In simple terms, if a
General POV:It made RiaA well made machine, for the sole goal of survival, or like actors who act.When Ria thought that way, she was able to adjust to the new reality that she had somehow traveled back in time.To a past that was exactly similar to what she had remembered.Although it would have been a different sensation to someone other than her.Maybe they would cheer in joy, and thank God for this wonderful opportunity, but to Ria, who had a photographic memory, it was all too overwhelming when everything she knew was repeating itself.Not to mention the pain of losing her life and suffering before death, and the betrayal of colleagues and friends.It was not strange for her to not react happily when she remembered everything so vividly and saw all those faces again, acting innocent.The worst thing was that they were indeed innocent because, by this time, they had indeed done nothing.Actually, Ria wasn't a naive brat who would forgive these people because of this.But she was
Besides, Julie was incredibly lucky. She was the one who got so many unexpected items that even Ria was surprised.If she had to think about it now, Ria would have to use her future knowledge if she wanted to compare it with the incredible luck of Julie.In her heart, the princess decided that the person she would focus on raising this time was that girl.It was to the point of anticipation of how much she would grow when she combined the Luck she had with the future knowledge she originally knew.The fight between Julie and the other one, Libera, reached its end. Julie emerged victorious, stunning everyone with her exceptional skills and strategic thinking. The crowd erupted in applause, recognizing her as the true champion. Great talent, fighting, but boring.There was no inspiration in the scene that Ria had already seen. She just felt like she had found a pretty useful tool.Nothing else."Haha. It's over!"Fuck!Julie dodged her opponent's sword and threw her fist at her vigor
Ria forced herself to remember everything that she could about him, but all she could remember was the Steeline family of the Kingdom of Netopia, who certainly didn't had a son.The head of the house only had an illegitimate daughter named Kiara, and his son and wife were said to have died due to an unfortunate incident.However, there was this Luke standing in front of Ria right now, and she couldn't believe it.Nonetheless, there was one thing even more shocking and perplexing.Even if she could make herself believe that something changed because of her regression, what about Luke's S rank title, and his being the Holy Son of the Church of Light who was selected by the Goddess herself and given the Mark of the Messenger.The memories of her body flooded Ria's mind, and she remembered Luke's deeds throughout the years.And there was one news story that struck her the most."Because of Luke, the Holy Son's help, the Spade family, which had colluded with a Demonic Organization called D
I, who had beaten the idiot who didn't even know the subject, looked around.There was loud cheering around the stadium, and everyone was enjoying the miserable state of this loser who was beaten by me.When this loser mocked me earlier, for a second I thought I was the protagonist, but now, looking at no one who was ridiculing me and saying I was cruel or cheated, I felt relieved.'I am still the Villain.'I, who shook my head, saw people cheering at me and focused on the transmigrated protagonist, who was looking at me with a surprised face.Now he must have also realized that I was an anomaly in this world that shouldn't have existed.Yes, according to the storyline, I, who killed the previous protagonist, was considered an anomaly by the world.But because of my EX rank title, the world couldn't see through me easily and couldn't take direct action against me.That was why in this story line, I wasn't even added, and the world made me an Anomaly to the protagonist, who would try t
