Chapter 294

Feras POV

Feras was feeling a bit nervous and had to wipe the sweat from his palms against his pant legs.

“Come on, stop being so nervous,” his friend Harold said to him.

“But what if I get paired with one of the stronger fourth years?” He asked Harold worriedly.

Harold shrugged. “Well, I guess that means you just have really bad luck. Don’t ...

Chapter 293

The day of the prelims had arrived. Julius had been practicing with all of his friends during this time. However, his main focus had been on gaining a Space Concept and also improving his mana constructs.

He had gotten some advice from Stella about how she was able to learn her Concept. According to her, she had gotten lucky when she had been caught in a spatial trap inside of a rift.&nbs...

Chapter 292

Julius stepped back and ducked under Aubrey’s swinging fist with a small grin.

The other girl had gotten much faster during his time away. She must have picked up a new skill or evolved one of her prior ones because now she was displaying speed that she definitely didn’t have before.

Aubrey had never been the fastest of people and although she had a pretty powerful defensive ski...

Chapter 291

He gave himself a proud mental pat on the back for a job well done. He hadn’t believed that he could avoid all of Tia’s vines while severely limiting himself to a Tier 2’s strength, but he had. It was thanks to that stupid obstacle course at House Easten that gave him the ability to do so.

“How did you avoid all of them?” She asked him, shock still present in her eyes.

Jul...

Chapter 290

Tia had shown up not long afterward and asked to join their little session. 

“So you and the princess huh?” Tia asked with a knowing grin on her face, immediately going for the throat.

“Why do you care so much about that? That’s like the fifth time you asked me about it since I came back.” He said to her.

“Because it’s such a romantic cliche,” she said wit...

Chapter 289

“Hey! What do you think you are doing?”

Julius turned his head to look at the dude with an innocent expression on his face. The guy was quite the handsome fellow, but it was marred by the severe frown on his face. 

“Have some respect. You can’t treat her like that!” The guy berated him.

Julius confusingly looked toward Reinera and she just shrugged her shoulders...

Chapter 288

It felt weird as he was getting up and preparing for class. Something just didn’t seem right with being gone for as long as he had and suddenly showing up in class like nothing had happened.

What was he supposed to say to the other students if they asked him? The truth? Or just ignore them? He kind of liked that last option, though he wasn’t sure how well that would work out for him.<...

Chapter 287

Lucien POV

Lucien continued to stare at the door that the boy and his friends had just left. He didn’t particularly know how he felt about the situation and how everything went down. 

A part of him had wanted to snap at the boy for daring to speak with such arrogance and disregard for their own reputation. However, he was reminded of Gabriel’s earlier words...

Chapter 286

Before the vice headmaster could begin to ask questions, Lily spoke up.

“I don’t believe it is necessary for all of these people to be here,” she said with a meaningful look at the crowd of staff members who were sitting there.

“With all due respect young lady, you don’t tell us what is necessary or not,” a man close to the head of the table said with disdain.

“T...

Chapter 285

He wasn't the only one to notice either. All six of them forgot about what they were discussing and focused on the door. All wondering the same thing, who it could be and how they were able to enter the room without their permission.

However, they all soon released their tense shoulders when they saw the Goldencrest uniform on the person. It was a tall clean shaven man with a pair of thic...

Chapter 284

Julius had found himself quickly swarmed by Edgar and Kyle as well. Thankfully, Edgar and Kyle were a bit more reserved than Lily and Aubrey had been.

They were more just glad that he was back safe and sound, though they did have some questions of their own.

He did his best to answer them, also further explaining to them about the plan against the princess and how he had been dragge...

Chapter 283

“I see you found him,” Lily said blankly to Marcus.

“Yes, my mission was successful my lady.”

“We are going to have words later, Marcus,” she promised to the man.

When she finally turned to look at Julius, a smile finally bloomed on her face and he was glad to see Lily come running over to where Aubrey and he were sitting down on the grass.

“I’m sorry, bu...

Chapter 282

It was the weekend and there wouldn’t be classes until tomorrow, which meant that the campus was relatively empty. 

It also meant that it was quite a simple thing to get guest passes for Stella and Marcus. 

When they were all walking through the courtyard and to the meeting location Marcus was supposed to meet Lily he couldn’t help but feel weird. Although it hadn’t ...

Chapter 281

“You could have let us know that the person you wanted to visit was a Tier 6,” Stella exclaimed loudly once they had left Dante’s cabin

They hadn’t stayed for very long. Julius was well aware that Dante didn’t have the patience to entertain guests for more than an hour or so. This was why once he gave a simplified explanation to Dante about where he had been, he decided it was t...

Chapter 280

According to Stella, they weren’t able to take the two of them to her family’s compound for a few reasons.

For one, she didn’t want anyone in House Quincy to spot Reinera on accident because their arrival would undoubtedly be recorded.

Secondly, there were enchantments placed around Heston and her family’s compound that would trace the spatial movement and she would have lik...

Chapter 279

“Haha, I told you I could do it,” he weezed to Rebecca as he used a little bit of [Phoenix Renewal] to recover his stamina and his missing limbs. “It was a piece of— mmph.”

He was interrupted by Rebecca appearing in front of his face and shoving a bottle of something down his throat.

He flailed around but the woman was much too strong for him and managed to pin him down wi...

Chapter 278

His last night was bittersweet. Both Richard and Rebecca had come over to see him and he explained to them what had happened. 

Rebecca was in denial and disbelief when she heard him. But for some reason, Richard had not seemed that surprised at all. It was as if he expected something like this to happen. 

After he had a lengthy conversation with them he told them that he a...

Chapter 277

He and Marcus went their separate ways. Marcus still had to take care of some things but he made sure to remind Julius that they were leaving the next day.

When he got back to the living quarters where he and Reinera had been living, he sensed the girl in question immediately.

She was pacing back and forth in front of the entryway, fiddling with her fingers like she always did when ...

Chapter 276

Julius did his best to explain what had happened during the mission, only omitting a few things that had no real importance. He also briefly talked about his relationship with Derek and Lily.

“So let me get this straight, two of the heirs of some of the most powerful Houses are your really good friends and decided to send out these two to bring you back?”

He gave a shrug at the ...

Chapter 275

Stella was oddly sad about the fact that neither of them wanted the tea and biscuits that she loved so much. However, that only lasted for a few moments because the moment he offered the rest of his to her, she brightened up considerably.

After that, the three of them left and went on their way to House Easten’s estate.

When they finally arrived at the gates, Julius realized that ...

Chapter 274

Stella, who Julius quickly found out was an extraordinary mage who had access to both spatial and time magic, didn’t waste any time and transported them all back to Blumand.

One moment they were standing on the plains in the dark and the next they were standing on a platform inside of some sort of building. He felt a small amount of dizziness but it quickly faded as he got situated.

Chapter 273

Stephanie POV

She and her team were stunned as they watched things play out.

They all knew that things would be extremely risky considering the danger rating on this mission, but they could have never expected something quite like this. 

A group of Tier 4s attacking the caravan like they did was not something you would think would happen, but it was a pos...

Chapter 272

Julius got completely lost in the moment. It was partially because he was so focused on fighting the Tier 5, but it was also because it was easier to just ignore the pain. 

Exploding and mangling his own body wasn’t something that was easy to do. No matter what kind of ‘experience’ he had with self-inflicted punishment, this was a step further than ever before.

With that ...

Chapter 271

“Why struggle so much? It should be obvious that you aren’t going to hurt me,” the Tier 5 said to Julius as he continued to dangle him by the foot with casual indifference.

“And what? Be content with being kidnapped?” He mumbled out from his still-healing mouth.

The man shrugged. “It would be less painful at the very least.”

Pain? Julius almost laughed out loud. ...

Chapter 270

Marcus POV

Marcus was currently trying his best to relax and enjoy the ride in the carriage. 

However, it was becoming a much harder task than one would originally believe. Especially considering the person he had to share the carriage with. 

“Why are you taking a carriage? Why not just teleport around from city to city?” Stella’s voice rang ou...

Chapter 269

Julius didn’t let the man make the first move. 

He had already experienced what that was like and did not want that to happen again. That was why he blitzed toward the Tier 5 with nothing held back. 

There was no hiding his skills or conserving his mana. He went all out from the very start. Huge spikes that more closely resembled a spear the size of a tree trunk soared t...

Chapter 268

Julius watched as Rolus unsuccessfully questioned the woman, still a little peeved that the fight hadn't gone the way he wanted it to.

On another note, they found out that Lyn wasn’t exactly a member of the Conclave, she was simply a person who her family lent over to them. Which explained her general uncaring attitude about the members of the Conclave.

She wouldn’t share who h...

Chapter 267

Lyn POV

She was having so much fun. Way more fun than she expected to have when she was assigned this mission. Who would have known that she would encounter such an interesting boy?

When she had seen Crane in such a pathetic state, she blamed it more on the man’s skill than anything. But now she was quickly reevaluating her opinion.

The boy was something els...

Chapter 266

Julius couldn’t help but appreciate the man’s attempt. If it was anyone else, they would not have noticed the approaching Tier 4. The woman had concealed her presence very well and once again [Spatial Perception] saved his life.

As soon as his blade of mana crashed into the woman, he instantly manipulated it so that it flowed over his body, into a set of armor.

The woman had exc...

Chapter 265

Crane POV

What the hell is going on? He groaned to himself as his emergency healing item worked its magic.

Defeating his student was one thing, but kicking his ass? That was something else.

He liked to pride himself as a person who was quite skilled for his rank. Nothing like some of the nobles who pay their way to Tier 4, but someone who was...
